Chapter 778: [(778)] Patients, do not scare yourselves Chapter 778: [(778)] Patients, do not scare yourselves “Thank you, Doctor,” Yangyang’s Mom said, both pleased and resigned, after hearing what she said. She was a long-term patient and had long come to terms with her condition. Her only worries were her elderly parents and her underage son. She was also concerned about the young girl in the next room who had just been admitted with a serious illness. Ultimately, she was a very kind person.
Xie Wanying consoled Yangyang’s Mom, “Like you, she needs to go through a psychological process.”
If a person found out they had a serious disease, psychologically, they needed a process to accept reality. Li Yaxi was typically in the first stage, anxiety, unease, fear, super tense, like a frightened bird. Yangyang’s Mom was in the fifth stage, accepting reality, ready to face death at any moment, and yet full of hope for life, refusing to give up easily.
Actually, the psychological state of a patient significantly affects their condition. Medical staff also hoped that patients could quickly get through this tormenting stage and reach the state Yangyang’s Mom was in. Patients who faced life and disease correctly often created some miracles.
“I hope she doesn’t scare herself to death,” Yangyang’s Mom said, speaking from her own experience. She knew her condition was like a mirror to her fellow patients, scaring them, but in reality, they were scaring themselves.
The curtain in the middle rustled, and the person opposite seemed to have heard Yangyang’s Mom’s words.
The freak next door actually dared to say she was scaring herself? Li Yaxi, who was lying in the hospital bed texting friends on her phone, was so annoyed that she glared and flared her nostrils in frustration.
She was here for a check-up, how could she be like these people? Her illness was very minor, and she should be able to leave the hospital in a few days.
Li Yaxi called her mother, “Mom, have you spoken with the doctor?”
“Regarding the single room, the doctor said–”
“I know, my illness is minor; I can’t stay in a single room. I’m asking when I can be discharged. I don’t like it here,” Li Yaxi said.
Mother Yaxi told her daughter, “You listen to the doctor, and do as the doctor says. Your father will come back in a few days, and we’ll come to see you then.”
The relatives of the patient next to her didn’t make an effort to visit often, despite the severity of the patient’s illness. Yangyang’s Mom frowned.
Xie Wanying remembered the scene she had witnessed with Doctor Song when they saw Yaxi’s Mom on the phone. It seemed the family was avoiding facing the patient, and Doctor Song was right to say the family needed to confront it.
After stepping out, Xie Wanying went back to the doctor’s office to study Yangyang’s Mom’s case further.
Li Yaxi saw a gap in the curtain as Xie Wanying left, and with no medical staff in the room, she got up.
Yangyang’s Mom watched her.
Li Yaxi turned and glared at Yangyang’s Mom, “Mind your own business.”
Li Yaxi made it to the entrance of the ward, and, taking advantage of the unguarded moment, she changed out of her patient’s attire into her regular clothes and sneaked out. She had inquired before, Lin Hao was on the second floor.
After a day and night of aggressive treatment, the condition of the young girl, Ma Yunli, had improved significantly. She was now waiting for the doctors to discuss whether she could undergo a Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (PBMV) in internal medicine. If not feasible, she would be transferred to cardiothoracic surgery for Replacement Surgery.
With his classmates’ exhortations and being responsible for the patient himself, Lin Hao often came to the ward to check on the young girl when he wasn’t busy. Li Qi’an came along for the visit. The two of them observed the patient’s condition while chatting about other matters.
Li Yaxi arrived at the entrance of the Department of Cardiology and took advantage of the busy time when the medical staff were leaving to slip into the ward.
