Everyone in the office fell silent.
Although it was cold, it was the most reasonable plan.
They could be discharged now to reduce unnecessary expenses. Furthermore, they could always have another child while they were still young.
This was also the most rational choice.
“Alright, that’s it. I’ll sort out the report later and tell them the situation. That’s the only way.” Sun Dawei sighed.
Li Chuhan nodded. “Then we’ll go back first. Call me if you need anything.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you, Director Li and Director Lin.”
“It’s our responsibility.”
After saying goodbye, the three of them prepared to return to the eighth inpatient department.
However, as soon as he walked out, he saw the child’s father run in front of Lin Yi and kneel down, completely ignoring the gazes of others.
“Director Lin, you’re a good person. Please save my son. He’s only two months old. Without him, the two of us won’t be able to live.”
“Get up and listen to me first.” Lin Yi lifted the child’s father and said.
“I understand how you feel, but you have to understand that some things can’t be solved through manpower alone.”
Lin Yi did not feel good either.
Every child was the apple of their parent’s eye. He was not a parent and could not empathize with them.
At this moment, only the couple knew their pain.
“The risk of a major artery transplant is very high. Neither I nor Director Li can guarantee that it will succeed. Secondly, the child also has SMA. This is fatal. A drug like Nosinogen Sodium costs 700,000 yuan per tube. It’s not something an ordinary family can afford.”
“No problem. We can sell the house and land in our hometown and borrow a little more.”
“But this is far from enough,” Lin Yi said, “A disease like SMA needs at least four injections. It’s not something that can be solved with just 700,000 yuan.”
“At least… at least four…”
Lin Yi’s words completely shattered the child’s father’s mental defense.
700,000 yuan was already enough to bankrupt them. They could not take out anymore.
“Although you’re already in your thirties, modern medicine is very advanced. Go back and recuperate. It won’t be a problem for you to have another child.”
Lin Yi felt that his words were hypocritical.
The child had already been born. This was different from a stillbirth.
No one could bear to lose their child.
If it were him, he would probably try to save her even if he had to sell his blood and kidneys.
“But we…”
The man collapsed to the ground as if his soul had been sucked out.
This was the hardest moment of his life.
At this moment, a few young nurses from the pediatrics department walked over to calm him down.
Lin Yi and the other two also left.
If possible, they didn’t want to leave either, but there was nothing else they could do.
On the way back, the three of them were in low spirits.
“Brother Lin, if it were you, what would you do?” Qiao Xin asked softly.
“Probably the same thing as him.” Lin Yi said.
“The SMA doesn’t seem like a terminal illness. Normally, patients can only wait for death. Even if there’s still a little hope of recovery, it’s by no means something to rely on.”
Lin Yi sighed deeply. In front of a child, a man’s knees and dignity were nothing.
“You’re right,” Qiao Xin said dejectedly. “God is so unfair.”
“He’s indeed too unfair. Otherwise, society wouldn’t continue to repeat that life isn’t easy.”
When the three of them returned to the department, Lin Yi’s phone rang again. It was Sun Dawei again.
“What happened?”
“The baby’s father found me just now. He wants to sell the family’s house and land and give the child a shot of Nosinogen Sodium.”
“It’s useless. Didn’t you tell him?”
“I’ve already told him. He said that he wants to fight it regardless of how much treatment the child needs.” Sun Dawei said with difficulty.
“He even wanted me to help him find a place to sell his kidneys. He just wants to save his son.”
“This is nonsense!” Lin Yi slammed the table, “We can’t agree to that!”
“I’ve already rejected him,” Sun Dawei said.
“But from the looks of it, he really wants to get the injection. If he really wants to do that, it might involve surgery.”
“Alright, I’ll discuss this with Director Li.”
“Let me know any updates when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Lin Yi looked at Li Chuhan and said,
“The child’s father said that he wants to get a shot of Nosinogen Sodium and asked if we can arrange the surgery.”
“At the end of the day, our advice is just a suggestion. Ultimately, we still have to follow the family’s wishes,” Li Chuhan said.
