Pastoral Daily Life - Chapter 121
When Lu Lingxi’s family arrived at the hospital, Su Lang had already arrived. He saw Pan Xiaobao’s case beforehand. The good news is that Pan Xiaobao’s condition is in line with Su Lang’s research, but at the same time there is another problem. Pan Xiaobao is a little too young and has been very weak during this time. Su Lang is not sure whether he can pass the physical examination and meet the volunteer’s requirements. Recruitment conditions.
Before Lu Lingxi and the others came over, Su Lang had already talked to Pan Liang about the risks of the experiment in detail. Because it is a new drug, they have no previous experience. The length of the course of treatment and the size of the drug dose are completely groping while experimenting, and due to the complex situation of the human body, it cannot be ruled out that there will be unknown side effects and sequelae. Before the experiment, they will sign an informed consent form with all volunteers, and they will be exempted from any accident in the middle. Of course, during the trial, volunteers can interrupt the trial at any time without any reason. No one, including doctors, has the right to interfere with the choice of volunteers. The entire experiment is free and all costs are borne by the laboratory itself.
Su Lang said to Pan Liang seriously: “Although I am very confident in our laboratory’s research, many risks are unpredictable. If Mr. Pan is not mentally prepared, in fact, I will It is also recommended that Pan Xiaobao receive conservative treatment and wait for a suitable bone marrow transplant.”
Pan Liang hesitated, but it was not that he did not know what Su Lang said. But he consulted a doctor, and the right bone marrow is not so easy to come across. Some patients have been waiting for years, and may not wait until they die. And even if it does, due to various reasons, the other party may not be willing to donate. According to the doctor, they have one last option, another child. This child has a high chance of successfully matching with Pan Xiaobao. But what if it doesn’t work? All their energy has been put on Pan Xiaobao, what about this child?
These questions made Pan Liang hesitant. Su Lang didn’t say much, just let Pan Liang think about it carefully.
After Wang Shuxiu came over, Pan Liang breathed a sigh of relief. There was so much pressure in his heart that he didn’t know who to talk to. His wife was under the same pressure as him, she lost 20 pounds in less than a month, and he really couldn’t bear to pass the pressure on to his wife. His parents and brothers had a falling out because of the match. Pan Liang was like a drowning man clutching the straw on the water surface, talking to Wang Shuxiu over and over about his hesitation and embarrassment, hoping that Wang Shuxiu and Xiao Feng would be able to Give him an idea, what should he do?
The three were whispering in the corridor, Yan Yue and Su Lang stood at the door of the ward and talked about the progress of the experiment. Lu Lingxi was the only one who was fine. Holding the Transformers bought for Pan Xiaobao on the road, he sat gently beside Pan Xiaobao.
“Brother, are you here to see me?” Pan Xiaobao asked in a low voice. Because of his illness, he is very thin now, and his voice sounds weak.
Lu Lingxi nodded and put the Transformer in his arms beside Pan Xiaobao’s pillow.
Pan Xiaobao rushed to Lu Lingxi with a smile and whispered, “Thank you brother, I like it very much.”
Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes, gently reached out to touch Pan Xiaobao’s face, and said softly: “It’s alright, the doctor Su that Xiaobao saw just now is very good, he will definitely cure Xiaobao’s illness .”
Pan Xiaobao’s eyes lit up, “Really?”
Lu Lingxi snorted, “As long as Xiaobao takes medicine obediently.”
Pan Xiaobao nodded vigorously and assured: “I will take the medicine obediently.” He raised his hand, “Brother, shall we pull the hook?”
Lu Lingxi raised her hand, imitating a gesture that Su Lang had done for him before, pulling Pan Xiaobao’s thumbs and touching them gently, smiled and said, “Look, we agreed , it must be cured.”
At the door of the ward, Su Lang inadvertently turned around and froze there. He looked at Lu Lingxi’s smile, and the scene in front of him and the scene in his memory overlapped surprisingly. Su Lang was a little dazed. He had seen the boy’s shadow on Lu Lingxi’s body many times before, but he had never once made him feel that the two were so similar, almost like the same person. And that action… Su Lang closed his eyes slightly, he thought he might be crazy. He actually really thought that Lu Lingxi might be that boy. The same name, some similar looks, and even a smile gives people a warm feeling.
Su Lang couldn’t tell what he felt in his heart. The death of the young man was his inner demon, which made him completely unable to stay in the hospital. The reason why he has such great enthusiasm for experiments, in addition to some vague things such as ideals and values, is more because he wants to atone for himself in this way. Su Lang always felt that the doctors and the others needed to bear a lot of responsibility for the death of the boy. If his family accounts for 60%, the remaining 40% is the responsibility of the doctor. Without them disregarding the boy’s body again and again, and acting as accomplices, the boy would not have died on the operating table in the end.
“Su Lang?” Yan Yue noticed Su Lang’s trance. He followed Su Lang’s line of sight, frowned slightly, and reminded in a low voice.
“Sorry.” Su Lang looked back somewhat blankly, “Where did we just say?”
Yan Yue gave him a deep look and said, “The laboratory needs to obtain the approval for drug clinical trials from the State Food and Drug Administration.”
“Yes.” Su Lang said, “We have already submitted the application, but Zhongjing has not given a reply. Everyone suspects that Hepu is playing tricks.”
Yan Yue quickly said: “Leave this matter to me, I will find a way.”
“Good.”
Su Lang was a little absent-minded, and couldn’t help turning his head to look at Lu Lingxi in the ward again. Yan Yue’s eyes darkened, just as he was about to say something, there was a sudden noise in the corridor. It is not suitable to say that it is a quarrel, it is more like the doctor is teaching Pan Liang a lesson.
“You say that as a parent, how can you be so irresponsible? Ah, test a new drug? You dare to let your child try a new drug that has no reputation and no guarantees? Who are you? It’s not Pan Xiaobao’s father, do you understand the severity of leukemia? If there is any medicine that works, can the hospital not let you use it?”
Pan Liang was scolded by the doctor for being submissive and didn’t know what to say.
Wang Shuxiu was a little dissatisfied. Although the doctor is also kind and responsible, it is too much for him to say that to Pan Liang. Pan Liang is nothing more than going to the doctor for a disease, and in the final analysis, it is also to cure Pan Xiaobao. What is Pan Xiaobao’s father? This sentence just poked Pan Liang’s heart. Wang Shuxiu raised her eyebrows and wanted to tell Pan Liang a few words, but Xiao Feng quickly stopped her. Pan Liang has not yet decided whether to participate in the new drug trial. If he does not participate, he will continue to be treated in the hospital. There is no benefit in falling out with the doctor.
Su Lang and Yan Yue came over. “What’s the matter?” Another old voice sounded at the same time.
“Old Dean.” The doctor who was about to speak was stunned for a moment, and quickly said hello.
As his words fell, a tall and thin old man came over. The old man gave everyone a serious look, and said, “What’s going on? Is there a problem with the treatment? Or is there any difficulty?” As he spoke, his eyes fell on Pan Liang. Among the crowd, Pan Liang was the only one with a stubborn beard and a haggard appearance. At first glance, he was the family member of the patient. “I’m the doctor here. If you have any problems with this family member, you can tell me, and if I can solve it, I will help you solve it.”
“Old Dean, it’s not…” The only doctor at the scene was eager to defend.
“Grandpa Zhao?” Lu Lingxi came out listening to the quarrel outside, somewhat confused.
“Xiao Xi?” The old man was surprised when he saw Lu Lingxi, “Xiao Xi, why are you here?”
Lu Lingxi came over and stood beside Yan Yue, indicating that they were a group.
The old man’s expression softened and asked again, “What’s going on?”
Pan Liang looked at the old man and then at Su Lang, and explained the matter without a preface. He said the confusion, the old man still caught the key, and became interested in the new drug test he said. The old man followed Pan Liang’s line of sight to look at Su Lang, “Young man, did you come up with this new drug? It just so happened that I was researching these before I retired. Tell me about the situation.”
“Old Dean.” The previous doctor was a little aggrieved.
.”
As the old man greeted everyone to go to the office, Xiao Feng whispered to Lu Lingxi, he felt that it was unnecessary for him and Wang Shuxiu to go at this time. It happened that they took the time to go to the first floor to register and see if they could line up for an inspection. He originally whispered to Lu Lingxi, but he didn’t know the old man’s ears were sharp. After hearing what he said, he immediately said, “Don’t bother to go to the first floor. I’ll have an old guy coming over later, he is a Chinese medicine doctor, let him give him a treatment first. Check the pulse.”
The old man was two steps behind. He deliberately walked to Lu Lingxi’s side and said with a smile, “Xiaoxi also knows him. It’s your grandfather Zhang. He will come over in a while.”
Lu Lingxi hummed, thinking of something, “Is Grandpa Zhang’s orchid okay?”
“Okay. A few days ago, Old Zhangtou also said that Nian would bring that pot of orchid to see you at Micro Gardening. If he knew that you came to the hospital today, he would definitely come over with the orchid. already.”
When the old man said this, Lu Lingxi couldn’t help laughing.
Sure enough, not long after they arrived at the office, the “Old Zhangtou” in the old man’s mouth hurried over. As soon as he saw Lu Lingxi, he first greeted him with a smile, then turned his head and started complaining about the old man, “Old man Zhao, look, you didn’t say it earlier. If you know that Xiaoxi is here, I will bring the orchid over and let Xiaoxi take a look.”
Elder Zhao smiled and shook his head, giving Lu Lingxi a look of “You see, I’m right”. He interrupted Lao Zhangtou’s complaint and motioned to Wang Shuxiu to ask him for help.
Speaking of serious matters, Mr. Zhang immediately became serious. He sat upright in front of another desk, and asked Wang Shuxiu to stretch out his hand, pressing **** on Wang Shuxiu’s wrist. He didn’t speak, and no one dared to speak. Even Su Lang, who was talking about the new drug test, lowered his voice subconsciously.
“There is nothing wrong with my body, but I am pregnant. I must pay more attention in the future.”
The old man’s shocking words made the whole room stunned.
