Late-stage lung cancer.
Cancer, either it's not detected, or when it is, it's already in the late stage.
Patients who catch it in the early stages are the lucky ones.
The old dean sat in the wheelchair, seemingly having long accepted the fact that he had terminal lung cancer. He was more aware than ordinary patients of what kind of disease cancer truly was, and he calmly accepted the fact that he wouldn't live for more than a few months.
The old dean chuckled a few times, speaking not so fluently, "I know I won't live for more than a few months. Director Wang came to invite me to participate in a program a few days ago. I thought that before I die, this body could still make some contributions to the medical field, and that would be enough."
Among the audience were several in the medical profession, and upon hearing this, their eyes turned red.
This is how those who study medicine are.
Even at death's door, they wish to contribute every last ounce of their strength.
