The doctors on duty at the hospital were all in rotation. The doctor in front of him, Song Qiuping, was an old man in his 50s wearing reading gla.s.ses.After listening to Tang Yan, he checked his chart and he said with a smile: "Don"t be so anxious young man, the specific cause of your mother"s illness cannot be fully determined, but the possible reasons aren"t a major problem."
"Undetermined, how isn"t that a big problem?" Tang Yan replied unconsciously.
"There are many reasons for a person fainting. It can be as severe as leukemia, all the way to things such as standing up too quickly, but neither are these cause behind your mother fainting. There are three possibilities, carotid sinus hypersensitivity, vasovagal syncope or orthostatic hypotension. "
"I don"t understand." Tang Yan shook his head.
"In regular terms, it was because of low blood pressure that lead to the sudden syncope. Which one of the three caused her to faint still hasn"t been determined yet because it varies from person to person, but you can be rest a.s.sured that it isn"t a major illness. Everything will be fine. "
Although he didn"t know professional terms, he was relieved to hear the old doctor say it wasn"t a serious illness. However, thinking of his past life experience, he asked: "Dr. Song, I want to ask, could the orthostatic hypotension thing lead to the occurrence of certain malignant diseases, such as cancer? "
"Cancer?" Song Qiuping froze for a moment, followed by a sudden laugh, as he said, "You young people think too much, let me explain, you mother is getting older, hypertension is common among people of her age group but using that to jump to cancer is too much. "
"There is no link at all?" Tang Yan asked.
Song Qiuping shook his head without hesitation.
"Is there any way to prevent tumors and cancer?"
Hearing Tang Yan bring up cancer again, Song Qiuping looked at him in confusion and asked, " Has your mother been diagnosed with cancer or a tumor before?"
"No, I"m just asking casually." Tang Yan shook his head.
"In fact, tumors are extremely common but most are benign, malignant tumors are the ones which cause cancer by invading other tissue and organs. As for how to cure or prevent tumors and cancer that is impossible even if you"re a millionaire it can"t guarantee you peace and safety throughout life but you can reduce your risk by; reducing the amount of pressure you take on, don"t smoke, maintain a healthy weight, get vaccinated and get regular medical examinations. That is the best you can do. "
Listening to what Song Qiuping said, Tang Yan sighed.
Even in his previous life, cancer was still incurable. In his previous life, because of their finances, his mother had laboured away for a lifetime and her health was a poor but now his life had changed, he had set up his mother for a better standard of living, getting her set up for regular checkups, would have to be next.
As long as she was in good health now, it gave him time to figure out his options and get things on track.
"Thank you, Dr. Song." Tang Yan stood up and said lost in his thoughts.
"You are very filial. Your parents should be proud to have such a considerate son." Song Qiuping said with a happy smile on his face.
Tang Yan nodded and said nothing, heading directly back to the ward.
He set an alarm for himself. He took a hoodie out of his backpack and covered himself and fell asleep on the chair outside.
After he fell asleep, two nurses on duty walked past him.
The two nurses were talking about Tang Yan"s previous freestyle races. Their eyes were full of excitement.
Obviously, Tang Yan after winning the 100-meter event had his popularity soar.
As the two walked past Tang Yan, one of the nurses stopped and looked down at Tang Yan who was sleeping.
"Ying Yue wait look, doesn"t he look like Tang Yan? What the h.e.l.l!"
"Huh what, Tang Yan is competing in Shanghai, how could he be here at a hospital....Wow, he really does look like him."
"I know, they look so similar. He could literally be his twin." The nurse said, whilst taking out her phone, making sure the coast was clear and he was asleep. She took a photo of Tang Yan.
She posted it to her Weibo, captioning it: "I met Tang Yan"s twin on duty".
"Wow, I can"t believe you just did that, you freak, imagine if he woke up you hooligan!"
"Hehe what he doesn"t know won"t hurt him"
At that moment, Tang Yan in his sleep turned over, the two nurses froze in place, when they heard him resume snoring, they gestured to each other and immediately ran away.
Tang Yan was awoken by his alarm. He set an alarm to wake him up so he could go get food for his parents.
He went out and brought some porridge and came back, he walked past two nurses on his way back upstairs. The nurses shot him a strange look. He smiled friendlily and took the porridge into the ward.
His dad had woken up first and when he saw Tang Yan"s. He froze for a while, then said, "You came back last night?"
Tang Yan nodded and motioned not to wake up his mother, and whispered, "It"s been a while."
His dad nodded, but didn"t talk anymore, that was his character, taking the porridge that Tang Yan had brought, he went outside and drank it directly.
Tang Yan had already eaten, so he sat by the bed waiting for his mom to wake up.
In his previous life, because he was young and ignorant, he wasn"t able to appreciate all the things his mother had done for him.
The most gratifying thing for him since being reborn was being able to be filial.
When his mother woke up, she looked radiant. Although she was in the hospital, she seemed to have had a comfortable sleep. When she woke up, she was smiling.
But when she saw Tang Yan, she still froze. She wiped her eyes in confusion, then her face changed:
"Son? Why are you here, aren"t you partic.i.p.ating in the swimming compet.i.tion in Shanghai?"
"Yeah but I haven"t got a race today, I heard what happened, so I came back to see you ahead of time." Tang Yan knew his mother was worried about him, so he didn"t mention that he was missing the 800m freestyle race today.
"No race?" His mom relaxed slightly but then immediately said, "So what if you have no race today. What about tomorrow! What are you doing back here, you better pack up and head back! "
"Mom, I"m fine. It"s nothing. Come, you must be hungry, drink some porridge." Tang Yan said and handed over the porridge.
