Is It a Hernia
是疝氣嗎
Something was wrong. Did he have a hernia again, in the same place? Thirty years ago he had a hernia. A doctor had repaired the hernia. Now he felt some pain. It was below his navel. It was to the left of his navel. It wasn't a sharp pain. It was a dull ache. It had started about two months ago. Now it was getting worse. Now it was a constant ache. He called a few doctors. "How much is a consult?" he asked. One doctor said $300. Another doctor said $350. That's a lot of money, he thought. Maybe this ache will go away, he thought. Maybe it'll go away by itself. He decided to wait another week. Then I'll make an appointment, he thought. I'll spend the money. It's a lot of money. But it's cheaper to fix a small problem now than a big problem later.
哪里出了問題。他是不是又在同一個(gè)地方患了疝氣？30年前他患了疝氣。醫(yī)生幫他進(jìn)行了治療。如今，他又感到了疼痛。疼痛感在肚臍的下部。在肚臍的左面。這種疼不是刺痛。而是隱隱作痛。疼痛開始于2個(gè)月前。現(xiàn)在變得更加嚴(yán)重了?，F(xiàn)在是持續(xù)疼痛。他叫了幾名醫(yī)生。他問道：“咨詢費(fèi)是多少？”一名醫(yī)生說300美金。另一名說350美金。他想這么多錢。他想疼痛會(huì)過去的?；蛟S它會(huì)痊愈的。他決定再等一周。之后再進(jìn)行預(yù)約。我會(huì)花錢。花很多的錢。但是現(xiàn)在花錢看小病總比將來看大病要便宜。
