At four o'clock, a middle-aged man brought a little girl to see a doctor.

The little girl was wearing a black cotton suit, glasses, a scarf on her face, and gloves on her hands, which she did not take off when she entered the room.

Now it is very cold outside a few degrees below zero, but there is heating inside, and most people will take off these when entering the room, otherwise it will be hot.

But no one in the hospital had ever seen it, and Dr. Xiao was not surprised.

What's wrong? Doctor Xiao asked.

My daughter has been coughing all the time. It's been a few months, and she doesn't get better after taking medicine... said the girl's father.

As if to confirm his words, the little girl coughed violently before the words fell, and her face turned red.

How many months? Dr. Xiao frowned.

It's been three or four months, and I can't remember it, said the girl's father.

Did you have a cold before? Is there any phlegm? Dr. Xiao continued to ask.

No. The girl shook her head.

Have you ever filmed? Dr. Xiao asked again.

No. The girl's father replied, I don't think she is seriously ill. Just buy some cough medicine and eat it. Recently, she has been coughing badly.

Dr. Xiao picked up the stethoscope and walked in front of the girl, Open the cotton coat.

The girl blushed and unbuttoned the padded coat. Dr. Xiao put the stethoscope on her chest, Exhale, inhale...

The girl took a deep breath and exhaled.

Dr. Xiao frowned, Come again, breathe-breath, cough again...

Come and listen! Dr. Xiao said to Guo Xiang and An Zehan beside him.

The two nodded, Dr. Xiao wanted to teach on the spot? Really a qualified teacher.

An Zehan and Guo Xiang also went up and listened with a stethoscope. The little girl blushed when a handsome guy like An Zehan came over, her breathing was short, and she was panting.

That sounds wrong, An Zehan said.

Guo Xiang also nodded, It's not normal, there are wet rales.

Could it be pneumonia? An Zehan said.

Open your mouth, let me take a look. Dr. Xiao said, picking up a small flashlight.

The girl opened her mouth.

talk'.

Ah— the girl let out a breath.

The throat doesn't seem to be inflamed, so there is a problem with the lungs?

Take a picture, said Dr. Xiao.

Is it pneumonia? The girl's father is a little nervous. The child is now in the third year of high school and is about to take the college entrance examination. What if he is hospitalized with pneumonia and delays his studies?

I can't confirm it yet, let's take a film and see. Dr. Xiao said, taking a pen to make a bill, Let the doctor get the results sooner and say it's me.

The girl's father nodded, took the order and took the child down to pay the fee to go to the X-ray room for filming.

It should be pneumonia, right? An Zehan looked at Dr. Xiao. Several people who came to see the doctor today had a cold and fever. One of them had pneumonia and was admitted to the hospital.

Dr. Xiao did not speak, his expression was a little serious.

After about an hour, it was about to get off work, and the girl's father hurried over with the girl.

Dr. Xiao picked up the X-ray film and clipped it to the light box, and the three of them came together to look at it.

This was a shock, it was much more serious than pneumonia, and the lungs were partially fibrotic.

The lungs are an important respiratory organ of the human body. People who have bought pig lungs in the market may have seen them. The lungs are a little pink and very elastic. There are many holes in the cut, and blood vessels are interspersed in the middle. People breathe mainly through blood and blood. The air in the alveoli is accomplished by gas exchange.

However, if there is pulmonary fibrosis, collagen is secreted between the interstitial lungs, which fills up those pores and forms a piece, which hinders the exchange of gas and causes difficulty in breathing.

After pulmonary fibrosis, the lungs gradually harden, and eventually they cannot breathe and may suffocate.

However, in general, patients with pulmonary fibrosis have a history of smoking and may have been in a dusty environment for a long time. For example, most of the pulmonary fibrosis patients with pneumoconiosis are coal miners.

But this little girl is obviously unlikely, and how could her lungs become fibrotic at such a young age?

Doctor, what's the matter? The girl's father was a little anxious, Isn't it really pneumonia?

This is much more serious than pneumonia, An Zehan said involuntarily.

What? The girl's father was startled, and the girl was so frightened that she coughed again, her breathing was short, and her face turned red.

Don't be afraid, take your time, come, take a deep breath... Guo Xiang hurriedly instructed the girl, but she was still very uncomfortable and seemed to be out of breath.

Guo Xiang felt a little distressed, so he softened his voice, Don't worry, take your time...

Be hospitalized first! said Dr. Xiao.

Doctor, what's wrong with my daughter? The girl's father was anxious.

Your daughter's lungs are already fibrotic. It's very serious. If she dies... Dr. Xiao can't go on.

What is fibrosis? The girl's father didn't understand, and the girl also looked at Dr. Xiao.

Dr. Xiao didn't know how to explain, but when he saw a rubber band on the table, he said, Look, human lungs are originally like this, they are elastic...

Dr. Xiao pulled the rubber band as he spoke, But her lungs are now like hard rubber bands, like branches, and can't contract, but they haven't been completely fibrotic, otherwise, they can't breathe.

This, this... The girl's father turned pale in shock, Then can my daughter be saved? Can it be cured?

Dr. Xiao hesitated for a moment, and said, We will try to make her feel better with medication, which can relieve her symptoms, but it is impossible to completely cure her unless a lung transplant is performed.

Basically, this disease cannot be cured, and they all die from respiratory and circulatory disorders.

What? The girl's father's face turned pale, and the girl's breathing became more rapid, as if her lungs were about to cough up.

How could this happen? Why did you get this disease? The girl shook her head like a father, but she still couldn't believe it, thinking that pneumonia would delay the college entrance examination. Now he would rather have pneumonia, at least the pneumonia can be cured.

But now this disease, the doctor's intention is obviously that it can't be cured?

We will try our best, there are medicines available, and we will try to prolong her life... Dr. Xiao's voice was getting lower and lower, and he was also helpless. The doctor is not an immortal, and not all diseases can be cured.

Then, Dad, we're going to die. The girl's face was ashen.

But if Zhi can live a few more years... Guo Xiang couldn't help saying.

The girl smiled bitterly, In the end, you still have to die, don't you?

You can't think that way. An Zehan said, We are all about to die. We can't live well just because we're going to die. You still have hope. Maybe in a few years, the medical technology will improve and it will be cured...

Guo Xiang did not speak. This disease will be difficult even in later generations. Some medicines may be more advanced, but they still cannot cure the root cause. Lung transplantation is the most effective, but how difficult is it? Where can I find the source of the lung?

Dad... The girl cried.

Government, no matter how much money I spend, I can't help but watch my daughter suffer... The girl's father's eyes also turned red.

The girl burst into tears, and the tears slipped into the scarf and became wet.

Her father wiped her tears in distress, pulled the scarf down, and wiped his daughter's face with his big palm.

Your face... Guo Xiang was surprised. The skin on the girl's face was severely cracked, like an old lady piece by piece.

Take off the gloves and let me see. Guo Xiang exclaimed.

The girl didn't know why, so she still took off the gloves, her hands were red and swollen, white and purple, and the thick leather was dry and hard, and it was also severely cracked, like frostbite.

This... Guo Xiang was shocked.
