under the foggy mountain

Chapter 18

In the morning, when Tang Qinglian helped Tao Lanying out, Yuan Wuhua was already waiting outside the door, helping to put things away, helped Tao Lanying get into the car and sat down, and then drove to the provincial capital in a hurry.

Nearly eight o'clock, the car arrived at the Provincial Medical University.After getting off the car, Tao Lanying looked around and asked, "Qingqing, isn't this the People's Hospital?"

Tang Qinglian said: "This is the Affiliated Hospital of the Medical University. Xuxia's classmate's husband is a doctor here. Xuxia said that it is better to come here to see a doctor than the People's Hospital."

After Tao Lanying heard this, she was about to get back into the car and said, "I'm not going to be treated anymore, I want to go back."

Tang Qinglian stopped her and said, "Mom, I asked Xuxia, and she said that the conditions and technology of the Medical University are better than that of the People's Hospital, and the treatment fee is cheaper than that of the People's Hospital."

Tao Lanying didn't believe it, and still wanted to get in the car and go home.Yuan Wuhua came to persuade him for a while, but it was useless.

Tang Qinglian said: "Mom, Xuxia has made an appointment with Dr. Guo, and Dr. Guo has registered for us. Let's treat here this time, okay? Next time we will go back to the People's Hospital for treatment."

Tao Lanying stopped, looked at Tang Qinglian, and said, "Qingqing, you have to ask the doctor first, if it's expensive, we won't see a doctor here and go back to the People's Hospital, okay?"

Tang Qinglian nodded and said "OK" repeatedly.

Seeing this, Yuan Wuhua approached Tao Lanying and said, "Fourth Aunt De, I will carry you, Qingqing, you carry your things and follow me."

Tao Lanying was unwilling, so Yuan Wuhua put Tao Lanying on his back as soon as he turned his back, saying: "It's almost eight o'clock, the doctor is waiting for us."

The three of them followed the road signs, and after asking a few more people, they came to the Nephrology Clinic.
Tang Qinglian took out the paper with Dr. Guo's pager number written on it, and Yuan Wuhua took out his cell phone and dialed it, and left a text.

After a while, a thin and tall doctor came over and asked with a smile, "Which one is Tang Qinglian?"

Tang Qinglian quickly said: "I am. Doctor Guo, hello!"

Dr. Guo said, "Please follow me."

"Thank you, Dr. Guo."

"You're welcome."

Dr. Guo led them to a clinic, looked inside and said, "There is still one person inside, please wait a moment."

Soon, the doctor came out. Dr. Guo asked Tang Qinglian and Yuan Wuhua to wait outside, and led Tao Lanying in.

After about a quarter of an hour, Dr. Guo came out and said to Tang Qinglian, "Come in."

Tang Qinglian went in, and nodded nervously to an elderly male doctor sitting at the consultation table: "Hello, doctor."

Then he walked over and stood behind Tao Lanying.

The doctor looked at Tang Qinglian and said, "Are you her daughter?"

Tang Qinglian nodded.

The doctor said, "Why did you send your mother here? Do you know what disease she has?"

Tang Qinglian didn't dare to speak, but just looked at the doctor.

The doctor didn't say anything more, took out a few sheets, and said, "Go for an examination right away."

Tang Qinglian stepped forward to take the form, thanked the doctor, and helped her mother out.

Dr. Guo also followed and told Tang Qinglian that the doctor who saw her mother was a well-known nephrologist in China, a professor at the Medical University, and his surname was Zhao.Professor Zhao preliminarily diagnosed her mother's disease as end-stage nephrotic syndrome, that is, uremia. The examination is mainly to understand the extent of the condition and whether there are other underlying diseases. These examinations are necessary.I also work in the nephrology department, so I call him if I have anything to do.Doctor Guo left after speaking.

Tang Qinglian handed the checklist to Yuan Wuhua, and gave him a wad of money, asking him to pay the fee. Yuan Wuhua took the checklist and ran away. Tang Qinglian called twice, but Yuan Wuhua ignored her.After Yuan Wuhua paid the fee, the two helped Tao Lanying to do blood and urine tests, as well as electrocardiogram, B-ultrasound and CT. It took more than two hours for the examination, and another hour for the results. Yuan Wuhua went out and bought a few buns to eat, and brought some back to Tao Lanying and Tang Qinglian. Tao Lanying didn't want to eat them, so Tang Qinglian ate one, wrapped the rest of the buns and put them in the bag.It was nearly 12 o'clock before getting the test results. Yuan Wuhua came to the consulting room where he saw a doctor in the morning with Tao Lanying on his back.

The doctor looked at the test results and said to Tao Lanying: "Your condition is very serious. Fortunately, there are no complications. Judging from your condition, you need to undergo dialysis at least once a week."

Tang Qinglian's body trembled when she heard this, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Do you need dialysis every week?"

The doctor said, "Yes, for the first time today."

Tang Qinglian asked: "Doctor, how much does it cost once?"

The doctor said: "The cost is higher for the first time, and it will be 600 yuan for the next time."

Tang Qinglian's body trembled even more when she heard this.

Tao Lanying heard that dialysis would cost 600 yuan, but when she looked up and saw Tang Qinglian anxious, she felt uncomfortable and said eagerly: "Qingqing, I won't see a doctor anymore, let's go back!"

After hearing this, Tang Qinglian cheered up and said, "Mom, what are you talking about! Listen to the doctor."

The doctor slowly said to Tao Lanying: "Ma'am, to treat your disease and relieve your symptoms, the best treatment is dialysis, and you have to come every week for dialysis on time."

Tao Lanying still insisted on not seeing a doctor and wanted to leave.

Tang Qinglian said firmly: "Doctor, don't listen to my mother, let's do it."

The doctor sighed and shook his head, wrote a prescription, handed it to Tang Qinglian and said, "Girl, go through the formalities."

Tang Qinglian reached out to pick it up, her feet were unsteady, and she staggered two steps. Yuan Wuhua hurried forward to support her, took the order with her hand, and went to pay the fee.Tao Lanying tried to stop Yuan Wuhua, but failed to stand up after two tries.

Tang Qinglian asked, "Do you want to be hospitalized?"

The doctor said: "No, you can go after the dialysis. However, the patient should not be jolted and tired. He should pay attention to rest and take medicine on time after returning home."

After paying the fee, a nurse came in and asked Tao Lanying to go to the dialysis room. Yuan Wuhua quickly stood up and helped Tao Lanying to follow the nurse out. When they reached the door of the dialysis room, the nurse told them that the dialysis would take about four hours and they would be called after the dialysis was over. , and helped Tao Lanying go in.

Tang Qinglian and Yuan Wuhua sat down on chairs outside the dialysis room.After a while, Tang Qinglian turned around and asked Yuan Wuhua for the payment slip. Yuan Wuhua didn't want to take it out, but Tang Qinglian couldn't hold back, so he had to take out the bill from his trouser pocket and hand it to her.Tang Qinglian looked through it, and found that the examination, dialysis and medicine cost nearly 2000 yuan. Looking at it, her shoulders shrugged, and she leaned sideways on the back of the chair and sobbed.Seeing Yuan Wuhua, he wanted to say a few words to comfort him, but he didn't know how to say it.

Yuan Wuhua felt hungry, so he said softly to Tang Qinglian: "Qingqing, are you hungry? Let's go out for dinner?"

After calling several times in a row, Tang Qinglian didn't move, so he had to sit and accompany her.

Tang Qinglian turned around and sat upright, wiped her tears and said, "Yuan Wuhua, go eat, I know you're hungry."

Yuan Wuhua asked, "What about you?" Tang Qinglian said, "I'm not hungry, you haven't finished eating the buns you bought this morning."

Yuan Wuhua said: "Okay, I'll go eat first, and bring some food in after eating."

Before five o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Lanying came out, followed by a doctor, and Tang Qinglian and Yuan Wuhua went up to meet her.Tao Lanying's complexion improved a lot, and she smiled when she saw the two of them.The doctor ordered that he must come for dialysis on time next week, and explained some precautions.

After the doctor left, Tao Lanying said to Tang Qinglian, "Qingqing, I'm a little hungry."

Tang Qinglian said: "Just in time, Yuan Wuhua brought in some food and hasn't eaten yet."

Tao Lanying sat down, ate some, and said, "I ate, I can go."

The three packed up their things, and Yuan Wuhua wanted to carry Tao Lanying, but Tao Lanying refused, so Yuan Wuhua helped her to the car.

On the way back, Yuan Wuhua drove smoothly, and it was already past seven o'clock in the evening when he returned to Jiangwan.
