In another ward, there lived a seventy-year-old rural man. He had already been admitted to the hospital three times for cerebral infarction, and this time, after only four days, he was in a hurry to be discharged.
I want to go home, it's too expensive here. The old man's voice was full of helplessness and anxiety. He was aware of his condition, but he was more worried about the high medical bills that would put a heavy burden on his family.
The doctor patiently persuaded the uncle: "Uncle, your current condition needs to be stabilized**, if you are discharged from the hospital now, the previous ** will be in vain." And, you've done most of your checks, and the next ** costs won't be very high. If you give up now and your condition worsens, it will be more difficult and more expensive in the future. ”
Under the doctor's patient persuasion, the old man finally dispelled the idea of being discharged from the hospital. He lay silently on the bed, his eyes revealing a deep helplessness and sorrow.
The old man has four children, two sons and two daughters, but they are all working in other places and their lives are not rich. This time he came back to take care of his youngest son, and he was also the most filial one. The other three children heard that the old man was hospitalized with a cerebral infarction, either because they had no money, or they were looking for various reasons to shirk it, only the younger son still wanted to do his best to ** his father's illness.
The old man talked about his past, when he was a young man, he was a bricklayer and supported his family with his hard-working hands. But as he grew older, his health gradually deteriorated, and he had to do some chores to make ends meet. When he said this, his tone was full of regret and helplessness.
After the death of the old man's wife, the attitude of the children has changed greatly. They no longer cared about the life and health of the old man as before, but began to distance themselves from him and ignore him. This made the old man feel very lonely and helpless, and he began to miss the days when his wife was there.
At the same time, the old man also regretted that he liked to drink when he was young and did not protect his body well. "If I had drunk less and paid more attention to my body at that time, maybe it wouldn't be like this now," he said. At this, he shed tears of remorse.
The atmosphere in the hospital room became heavy. The youngest son stood silently aside, he knew his father's pain and helplessness, but he also felt powerless. He can only try his best to take care of his father, hoping that he can ** as soon as possible.
Afterwards, thinking back to my uncle's story, I made up my mind to live alone. When you get old, you can get by with a fire!
