Children\’s Hospital at 2 a.m.: It\’s enough to destroy a pair of parents and make the child sick

In the eighth episode of \”Human World 2\”, the director focused the camera on the children\’s hospital. \”Back then, when I chose the profession of pediatrician, I only thought about dealing with children, which should be happy. However, there are some little creatures who have to suffer unexpected pain when they arrive in the world.\” Zhu Yueniu, a pediatrician in the ICU, said When these words were spoken, the background screen showed rows of helpless children in the ward, struggling to escape the infusion needles and shouting \”I want a mother.\” Dr. Zhu said that as long as he is admitted to the ICU, no child\’s condition is taken lightly, and all are serious. Tumors grow in the stomach, tumors grow in the bone marrow, tumors grow in the chest, and tumors grow in the brain. If I didn’t take a good breath, the child might have passed away. As long as they step through this door every day, doctors and parents are faced with the life and death of each child. It’s a cheesy and realistic saying that the walls of a hospital hear more prayers than a church. Here, all emotions are the most real. No matter how tough parents are on weekdays, they will reveal their most vulnerable and helpless side from the moment they enter the children\’s hospital. At the beginning of this year, the flu hit, and my daughter was unfortunately infected. During dinner, I only had a slight cough, but in the middle of the night, I suddenly suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. Within two hours, the fever reached 38 degrees 9. At 2 o\’clock in the morning, my husband and I quickly took our daughter to the hospital. When we arrived at the hospital, the emergency room was still crowded, and the number of registered patients had already exceeded 200. In a hurry, I went to the counselor to take the child\’s temperature. After briefly explaining the condition, I could only hold my daughter and sit on the stool and wait for the number to be called. The children around were crying heartbrokenly, and the parents were patiently coaxing them with distress and tenderness. From time to time, there were parents holding their children in and out, all frowning. Several mothers gently patted their children\’s backs and secretly had red eyes. The men sitting aside guarding their wives and children could not hide the sleepiness and anxiety in their eyes. I hugged my daughter tightly, feeling a little bitter in my heart: aside from all the different identities in society during the day, here you are just an ordinary parent of a child with a disease. In addition to feeling anxious and helpless in my heart, I also hate my own powerlessness and blame myself for my negligence. In the news, a mother held her child in her arms and choked up in front of the camera: \”We waited outside the operating room for three hours. At that time, I felt that you were willing to give everything in exchange for his safety and health.\” If you have ever seen a children\’s hospital at 2 a.m., you will find that compared with the health of the child, nothing cannot be given up. Results are OK, ranking is OK, glory is OK, even if the sky falls, you can ignore it. Someone in the circle of friends asked, how easy is it to destroy a pair of parents? A mother’s answer below touched my heart. She said that as long as the child is sick, it is enough. Medical worker @林雪 told a pediatric story. One year, she took over a newborn with jaundice and asked for pediatric consultation before being transferred to the neonatology department. During shift change in the evening, I saw the mother wiping her tears alone in the ward. She comforted her that it didn\’t matter, that the baby was just jaundiced, that he would sleep in the incubator for a few days and be back under the blue light. When she went to work the next day, the mother was still crying, and even a room full of female relatives were crying, saying that the baby was dying. She was puzzled,It\’s just jaundice and it cannot threaten the baby\’s life. So I immediately called the pediatrician to ask about the child\’s condition. The pediatrician said that the child was fine and could eat and sleep. After asking around, I found out that the child\’s father said that the child was dying. The mother found her child\’s father in the stairwell of the pediatric department. He was smoking cigarette butts all over the floor, his beard was unkempt, and his face was haggard. He had stayed awake all night in the pediatric department. It turns out that when the pediatrician was admitted to the hospital, the doctor explained the treatment plan and adverse consequences of jaundice, one of which was \”it may cause brain damage or even death.\” As a result, this father only remembered \”death\” and forgot everything else. He signed the signature tremblingly without daring to ask more questions or leave. When his family asked how his child was doing, his mind went blank and he said, \”I can\’t do it anymore.\” \”. A man can withstand the ups and downs of life and the crushing pressure of the workplace, but his children have become his most painful weakness. Watching \”The World of Humans 2\”, what impressed me most were the children suffering from bone tumors. Bone tumors are tumors that occur in bones or their affiliated tissues, with an incidence rate of 3 in 1 million. What is the concept of three parts per million? According to the words of a young patient in the photo: \”It\’s equivalent to tossing a coin 22 times in a row, and it\’s heads every time.\” However, this disease prefers to harm teenage children. For teenage Wang Songming, the only way to save his life was chemotherapy and bone scraping. For chemotherapy, a tube, called an intravenous infusion tube, is first buried in the right vena cava. In the next year, countless potions will flow into his body from here. In two days, a doctor will inform me: Today I will have a saline injection. The name of \”salt water\” can be called Cisplatin, Holoxine, Adriamycin Hydrochloride, Zephi, or Lixin. They can make children unable to eat, feel nauseous, vomit, and start losing hair. For bone scraping and inactivation, doctors will saw open the tumor-infected arm and leg bones, remove the bones one by one, and clean them one by one with 10% concentration of saline. Or use an instrument to remove the tumor, then put the bone without cancer cells back into the body, and then sew the leg back together stitch by stitch. Thirteen-year-old girl Sirong, like Wang Songming, has also experienced this. Before the operation, her mother told the camera that she made a bet with her daughter that she would not cry today. But the moment she saw her daughter being pushed out after the operation, she couldn\’t bear it anymore. Some people say that when a child gets sick, the parents are thrown directly into purgatory. Only when the child recovers can they return to the world. For these parents, wanting an ordinary, healthy child is the greatest luxury in their lives. A mother told me that her son was diagnosed with malignant lymphoma when he was only 7 years old, and there was little hope of cure. Several times, on the way to the children\’s hospital, she saw people begging for money on the side of the road holding their children. The signs next to them read \”The child is seriously ill\” and \”Sell yourself to save your son who has leukemia.\” Even though she knew these people might be scammers and the \”child\’s illness\” might just be a scam, she would still donate a little money. \”I was just thinking if I could do more good deeds, God would open his eyes and save my son.\” Xu Shitian really heard her prayer. After more than five months of treatment, the child\’s health improved. , there is a glimmer of hope. But the four words \”child is sick\” have becomeThe most untouchable wound in her life. Come to think of it, this is not the wound that every parent and mother of us has. School district room? Niuwa? Prestigious school? If the child is not healthy, these are all useless products. I don’t ask my child to be perfect, I don’t ask her to win my reputation, and I don’t ask her to help me with my old age. I just hope that she can be safe, healthy and stable throughout her life. That\’s good.
