Chapter 464 Suffering
When Zhang Lan met patients and their families who seemed to be in need, after a brief understanding, she couldn't help but trick them into "saving all sentient beings".

Even Zhang Lan did not expect that during the most difficult time, some people had part of their skulls removed and their scalps were all soft. They came to see Zhang Lan for treatment because they had some sequelae after removing their skulls. She asked Zhang Lan for acupuncture to see if it could alleviate them. .

The patient was an old man, and the old lady who came with him was his wife. During the acupuncture session, we chatted and found out that the old man’s wife had cancer and had been taking medicine for conservative treatment for several years.After the old man himself had a traumatic brain injury and had part of his skull removed, he chose not to repair it later in order to save money.

The couple are in their 70s. Their son died young and their grandson has already started a family.One daughter is also ill, and the old couple now live alone at home.

The old lady has been ill for nearly ten years and has been taking medicine to control it. The old man was in good health, but after the accident, his condition deteriorated drastically.

However, the old man is quite optimistic. When chatting with Zhang Lan, he was worried about his wife. Now the two of them spend more than half of their salary just taking medicine every month, and the remaining money is barely enough for daily life. expenses.

The old lady's illness was inseparable from medicine. The old man was usually responsible for taking care of the old lady. The compensation given to her after the accident was almost spent after the old man lay in bed for more than a year.

Everything is expensive here in Kyoto, especially labor.Later, after he was able to walk independently and take care of himself, the old man stopped hiring caregivers.

Zhang Lan asked if there was no one to help take care of the elderly’s children and grandchildren.The old man sighed and said that his son died early, and his grandson was raised by his mother. Both of them were workers in their early years and could hardly take care of the family.

In addition, his daughter-in-law also passed away a few years ago. Now that his grandson has started a family and started a business, the old man doesn't want to trouble his grandson if nothing happens.

As for the daughter, who is ill, the most she can do is take time to visit the old man, but there is nothing else she can do.

Speaking of this, the old man said to Zhang Lan with great emotion: "In fact, in this society, it is better for children to have more brothers and sisters. Being an only child is not advisable at all. I got married late and due to work, I wanted to After the two children, I didn’t want any more. Later, after I had a stable job, I wanted to have children, and I caught up with the family planning plan. Let’s not talk about my son’s generation, all of them are only children. The two of us are fine, on weekdays If the next generation can’t count on us, we still have brothers and sisters to help out. Your generation is going to have a hard time.”

Zhang Lan empathized with the old man's words. When his father was ill, Zhang Lan felt that even if there was someone around to help share the burden, even if it was just to help take care of him, Zhang Lan felt that it would not be so difficult.

When a person is in good health and his family members are also in good health, many problems will naturally seem to be nothing, and life will be comfortable.

Only after getting sick will you feel that some things and words are really the personal experience of some people.When the facts are in front of you, you will feel that some words are really wise words.

After giving the old man acupuncture, Zhang Lan not only treated the old man with the 'Pudu All Living Things' before leaving, he also treated the old lady next to him.

When human suffering appears before our eyes, who can remain indifferent?

The situation is better for the elderly. At least the two of them have retirement wages that can cover their daily expenses besides taking medicine.

Zhang Lan met people from other places who came to Kyoto for medical treatment near the hospital. After getting to know them, Zhang Lan really couldn't believe that such a thing could happen.Today, when the Internet is so developed, you can still meet a couple who brought their only daughter to Kyoto for medical treatment. However, the two of them have no money to eat. When asked, they have not even received the most basic one-child subsidy. As for the most basic rural life They have never enjoyed the minimum living security policy.

In the husband's terms, both of them have land. After their daughter got married, the husband's family was in a good financial situation. But when his daughter got sick, he didn't care. The couple took their daughter home, but they wanted to apply for subsistence allowances but were told by the brigade that they did not meet the conditions.

We filed a lawsuit, but even though we won the lawsuit, we couldn't get the money, and the man couldn't find anyone to carry out the lawsuit.The daughter's situation could not be delayed forever, so the two of them brought their belongings to Kyoto to see if there was anything they could do.

Some people's honesty can be felt from their words. After Zhang Lan learned about the situation, he knew that the two of them had no other income except farming. Later, after their daughter got married, she didn't ask for any gifts and gave them all to her daughter.

The two of them didn't have much savings, and even less after treating their daughter.Zhang Lan, on the other hand, found out that the two of them had no other income except farming, and asked them if they had received any subsidies. Only then did she find out that the two of them had received nothing else except the food subsidy that everyone in the village received.

When I came to Kyoto, after I sold the seasonal grain, I borrowed it from relatives and friends before I took my daughter to Kyoto to see what the doctor said.

Did they see a doctor in their hometown? But the doctor said that their daughter was just like that, and there would be no improvement with further treatment. The two of them were not willing to accept it, so they came to Kyoto to ask.

Their daughter suffered from an intracranial aneurysm. After the craniotomy, the husband’s family stopped caring about her.The subsequent surgeries were all funded by the couple to take care of their daughter.

Now, after subsequent surgeries and nursing care at home, their daughter's memory and speech are okay, but it is still difficult for her to walk and take care of herself.Their daughter was still young, and the couple felt that they could not let their daughter live like this for the rest of her life, so they came to Kyoto to see if there was a better treatment method.

Zhang Lan knew why the two of them only had one daughter. After asking, they found out that they chose a township hospital to give birth to their second child in order to save money. As a result, the hospital delayed the delivery after dystocia, and the child was not saved. I almost didn't survive, and ended up being infertile for life.

A family, a family, being together is a family.

Although Zhang Lan felt very indignant about her husband's ignorance and ignorance from his words, after briefly understanding the situation, Zhang Lan still helped their daughter undergo a more thorough treatment. At that time, Zhang Lan could see When they came out, the couple regarded their daughter as the backbone of their lives. If something unexpected happened to their daughter, the couple would probably have no will to survive.

There is so much suffering in this world, especially around the hospitals in Kyoto, where you can always see all kinds of human sorrows and joys.Zhang Lan once thought that life was hard enough, but after going through one incident after another, she realized that her life before was actually better than many others.

Zhang Lan always felt that she was ignorant and knew very little.After meeting patients one after another, I realized that searching for some well-known news on the Internet is much better than some people.

There are many things that you don’t know. Only when you pay attention and start to understand will you find that some things are really beyond imagination.
