The Sweetest Thing In the World - Chapter 51
After receiving the news, the people from the heart surgery department gathered in the gastroenterology ward immediately after the operation. Xu Mai has been too tired recently, coupled with a short-term massive blood loss, his body is very tired, and he has been lethargic and has not woken up.
Knowing that Min Yue would definitely stay by the hospital bed, Chen Sitian packed a fast food from the cafeteria and brought it to the ward, but Min Yue waved his hand, saying that he had no appetite.
Chen Sitian patted her on the shoulder and persuaded: “I know you are uncomfortable. Everyone feels uncomfortable seeing Master Mo like this, but we still have to eat. If you also collapse from a stomachache, who will take care of Master Mo?” Woolen cloth?”
Min Yue was persuaded by her, so she took the boxed lunch and went to the corridor, and stuffed the next box of rice tastelessly.
Xu Mai is indeed strict at work, but everyone is not afraid of her. To be precise, they don’t know how to get along with her.
She seems to never go wrong, perfect like a god, and needs no help from others. When staying with her, I can’t help but worry about whether I am doing well enough, whether I will be slowed down, and whether she will despise me in my heart.
But when she fell down, she was pushed from the operating room to be rescued in embarrassment, and she lay on the hospital bed with a haggard look, surrounded by monitors and infusion tubes, and suddenly felt that she was no different from herself, an ordinary person who could get sick .
Since they are the same kind, it is easy to empathize with them. Although they seldom communicate with each other, the worry on their faces when they come to visit the doctor is genuine.
Because Xu Mai has to strictly control his diet recently and cannot eat solid food, they brought several cartons of milk over. Some even bought a bag of adult milk powder, saying that this can be brewed with hot water, and drinking it hot is good for the stomach.
Min Yue was very touched, accepted it for Xu Mai, and thanked each one.
After Shen Fei found out, she also came to visit. Seeing Chen Sitian was present, she found an excuse to leave after not staying for long. Chen Sitian said goodbye immediately and ran out to chase her.
Hearing that Min Yue would stay with him all night, Deng Sang suggested that he stay too, with one person in charge of the first half of the night and the other in charge of the second half of the night. Min Yue declined, she was already busy and tired in the hospital, and asked her to go back to the ward to concentrate on her work, as long as she was here, so she could rest assured.
After all, the male doctor was inconvenient, so he left a message to call us if he had something to do, and then he also withdrew.
After all, he is an employee of the hospital, and it can be counted as a work-related injury. The Department of Gastroenterology directly arranged Xu Mai into a double room, and the next bed was left empty, which is equivalent to living in a single room.
The night was getting darker, and the medicine was changed twice in the middle. When the whole ward area was completely quiet, the last bottle of liquid of the day was finished. Min Yue didn’t bother the nurse, she pulled out the needle herself, and pressed the needle hole to stop the bleeding.
Xu Mai slept peacefully, with a relaxed expression, as if he had let go of all pressure, didn’t think about the upcoming surgery, didn’t care about the progress of the scientific research project, just focused on the present moment, and simply slept.
The blood loss caused the body to lack water, and a layer of dry skin appeared on her lips. Min Yue found a cotton swab, dipped it in warm water, and gently wiped it on her lips.
Looking closely, I found that the dark blue under Xu Mai’s eyes was very serious, which was the accumulation of melanin caused by years of lack of sleep. Min Yue sighed in sorrow, as if she had grown up overnight, from an innocent little girl to a housewife who worried about her family.
After turning up the temperature of the central air conditioner, checking whether the windows were closed tightly, and confirming that the Xu pulse was in a stable condition, Min Yue climbed into another hospital bed and fell asleep with a heavy heart.
Early the next morning, Min Yue was woken up by the chirping birds outside the window, opened her eyes in a daze, turned over, and met the cold moon-like eyes on the opposite side.
Min Yue froze for a moment, and sat up abruptly. “Master, you are awake!”
Xu Mai hummed very lightly, before he could say anything, Min Yue threw himself to the side of the bed, raised his head, and said eagerly: “Master, you scared me yesterday, you were in shock!”
“Sorry.” Xu Mai recalled the symptoms before he fainted, and deduced: “Is it stomach bleeding?”
Min Yue nodded: “I initially suspected it was a gastric ulcer, but now the bleeding has been stopped, and I still have to have a gastroscopy to find out.”
Min Yue patted the bed abruptly, leaned over with the upper half of her body, looked down at Xu Mai who was lying flat, and said angrily: “Master, you didn’t take good care of yourself. You must have not eaten on time, and you used biscuits and bread to deal with it. You It can’t be like this, what if the stomach is perforated? What if you faint outside the hospital? What if…”
The always well-behaved and lovely apprentice suddenly became very angry, Xu Mai was surprised, and saw the little girl’s eyes were round and menacing, like a whining kitten. Just as I was about to touch and comfort it, I saw the little kitten’s arched back collapsed, and a layer of mist floated in the round eyes, and the corners of the eyes drooped, looking pitiful.
“What if?” Xu Mai asked.
Min Yue pursed her mouth, swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, and refused to say it.
If she didn’t say anything, Xu Mai could guess what it was, raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said, “I won’t be separated from you, don’t worry.”
The little girl felt even more wronged, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to cry. “Master also said yesterday that you are fine, don’t worry, what happened? Master always lies to me.”
“I didn’t lie to you.” Xu Mai stretched out his hand to caress her face, his eyes were gentle and tender, like the wind blowing over the willow branches in spring. “I will never part with you.”
Min Yue sniffed and rubbed against Xu Mai’s palm.
When she calmed down, Xu Mai asked, “What happened to the injured yesterday?”
I wanted to insist on finishing the stitches, but I couldn’t do it. I changed the chief surgeon midway. I don’t know how the effect will be. Xu Mai is very worried. What if the injured person is not rescued because of himself…
“Master, don’t worry.” Min Yue read her thoughts from her sad expression, and quickly dispelled her doubts. “General surgery and thoracic surgery were completed very well. The operation was successful. He has been transferred to the intensive care unit. The next step is to see if he can survive the infection.”
Xu Mai nodded slowly, feeling much more at ease in his heart.
After a while, a doctor from the Department of Gastroenterology came to make a ward round. Seeing that Xu’s pulse condition was much better, he chatted a little. He was one of the doctors who rushed to the operating room yesterday. He witnessed the scene at that time with his own eyes, and he reprocessed it with embellishments, which made Min Yue tremble in panic again.
“Director Xu, you are too dangerous this time. Bleeding to shock is very dangerous. Don’t work too hard in the future. The body is the capital of the revolution. Enduring the pain and insisting on surgery is actually not good for yourself or the patient. , Don’t you think so?” This person was a few years older than Xu Mai, and he was also the deputy chief physician, so he spoke directly.
Xu Mai said in shame: “You are right.”
After checking his physical condition and leaving a few doctor’s orders, he finally left, and the tips of Xu Mai’s ears were so red that they were almost transparent.
Min Yue asked concerned: “Is Master cold? Does he have a fever?”
“I’m fine.” Xu Mai seemed embarrassed, touched his ears and changed the topic: “Aren’t you going back to the ward?”
“I will accompany Master to finish the gastroscopy before leaving.”
In fact, Min Yue didn’t ask Director Zheng for leave. The ward is too busy recently. There are even 20 or 30 operations a day. No one in the department is idle, standing in the operating room from morning till night. At this time, there was no way to ask for leave, but she was also worried about Xu Mai.
Xu Mai knew how difficult everyone’s working conditions are these days. With the loss of two people, there will be a shortage of manpower, so he said: “It’s okay, the nurse can push me to do the checkup. You can go back to the ward quickly, and don’t delay work.”
Min Yue hesitated: “Master is alone, is it really okay?”
Xu Mai laughed: “It’s okay.”
“Then if there is anything, Master must call me immediately, and I will come right away.” Min Yue got up slowly, walked out step by step, opened the door of the ward, and repeatedly asked: “Master, if you have something to do, you must do it right away.” Call me, I’ll come and see you after work.”
Xu Mai’s smile is very doting. “Ok, I will wait for you.”
After closing the door of the ward and walking along the corridor to the nurse’s station, Min Yue left her cell phone number to the nurse and said to call her if there was anything to do, and finally took the elevator downstairs.
At nine o’clock, the nurse came with a wheelchair and pushed Xu Mai to go to the laboratory for a gastroscopy. There was a long queue, and it took two hours to get the result back to the ward.
Due to the high barriers to entry in the industry, it is difficult for doctors to be both professional and knowledgeable. Specialist doctors leave their professional fields and understand things similar to those who have just started work; general practitioners know a thing or two about various diseases, but Not proficient, can only provide health consultation and primary diagnosis and treatment in community clinics.
Xu Mai looked at the results of his gastroscope for a long time, but still didn’t know much about it, so he simply leaned against the head of the bed, searched for the papers of gastroenterology on his mobile phone and began to study.
Halfway through, when he heard a knock on the door, Xu Mai looked up, and saw Director Zheng standing outside the door through the glass.
“Director.” Xu Mai put away his phone and sat up straight.
Director Zheng walked into the ward with a flower basket, placed the flowers on the bedside table, observed Xu Mai’s complexion, and greeted him, “Are you feeling better today? Have you had a gastroscopy? How is the result?”
Xu Mai took out the film, the other party looked at it, and said, “It looks like a gastric ulcer. I’ll ask Director Sun of the Department of Gastroenterology to take a look at it later.”
“Excuse me, Director.” Xu Mai said politely.
Director Zheng rubbed his fingers, with a hesitant expression on his face, Xu Mai waited patiently for a while, seeing that he hadn’t opened his mouth, he asked, “Is there any work you want to arrange for me? I can do it, no hold up.”
Director Zheng raised his eyebrows: “What about work? Don’t think about work. Your important task now is to take good care of your body, and then talk about other things.”
Xu Mai quietly lowered his head. “Cory is so busy right now, but I can’t help much…”
“I’m afraid you think so.” Director Zheng’s expression was as expected, “Don’t think about leaving the hospital in four or five days, listen to Director Sun, you can stay as long as he says, once every half a month It doesn’t matter if it’s a month, I haven’t retired yet, the sky of cardiac surgery will not fall.”
“It’s you.” Director Zheng sighed, “Is your body still able to hold it?”
Realizing that there was something in his words, Xu Mai lowered his eyes and listened quietly to the following.
“If you keep the green hills, you don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. You are still so young, and you just work like this for work. What will happen when you get old? Do you want to be the first person to retire in the hospital?”
Seeing her indifferent expression, completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, Director Zheng patted his knee anxiously, regretful and worried. “You said that day that you could hold on, but now, I’m really worried that you will hold on and suddenly fall down.”
“Sorry for worrying you, I will pay attention to it in the future.”
Seeing that she had a good attitude of admitting her mistakes, Director Zheng calmed down and persuaded with an elder’s attitude: “I have told you many times before that doctors actually need the care of people around them more. You are so busy with work, and you can’t eat hot porridge after work.” No drink, if someone can take care of you in life, don’t you have no worries and can concentrate on your work?”
“I am in favor of starting a family before starting a business. With a family as a backup, I can concentrate on doing a good job.” After laying the groundwork for so much, finally came to the point, Director Zheng said earnestly: “Xu Mai, it’s time to think about personal issues .”
Every time before expressly and implicitly urging marriage, Xu Mai was always cold and indifferent, leaving his words behind, but he had to persuade him. Xu Mai was taught by him, he is his proud disciple, and he is also his most promising candidate for the next director. The future is immeasurable. It would be a pity if his career development was affected because of health problems. He couldn’t just sit back and watch.
Young people have their own set of ideas. They think that the elders are old fashioned, their ideas are outdated and out of date, and they don’t want to listen to them. But the experience of those who have been there is often right. When she encounters her head and blood, she will naturally understand that those nagging words are indeed for her own good.
He didn’t mind that Xu Mai’s left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he was ready to continue persuading, but he didn’t expect Xu Mai to nod this time.
“Thank you for your concern, I will consider it.”
Director Zheng asked incredulously: “You are not perfunctory old man, are you? You really think about it? Is blind date acceptable?”
Xu Mai thought for a while: “You can try.”
Director Zheng was surprised for a while, then laughed, said a few good words, left a sentence of “wait for my arrangement”, and left contentedly.
In the evening of the same day, Min Yue got off the operating table and didn’t even have time to drink water. She was worried that something might happen to Xu Mai alone, so she rushed to the gastroenterology department in a hurry. As soon as the elevator door opened, there was a sea of people in the ward, and there was a long queue in the corridor, dozens of male doctors in white coats.
Min Yue turned sideways and walked in, finally squeezed to the door of the ward where Xu Mai lived, probed inside and was stunned. The double room was filled with flowers and fruit baskets, and there was almost no place to step down. Several strange male doctors surrounded the bed, smiling like flowers, talking to Xu Mai.
Min Yue quickly grabbed the passing nurse and asked, “What’s going on inside?”
The nurse replied: “Director Xu’s suitor is here to visit.”
“Huh?” Min Yue was stunned. Although she always knew that many people liked Master, there was no need to be so exaggerated. Dozens of people appeared at the same time. It felt like they were not visiting a doctor, but queuing up to grab train tickets. The kind that is gone.
Min Yue looked at the team repeatedly in shock, and suddenly found Doctor Song standing in the middle—a little red in the green bushes, the only female doctor.
Min Yue walked over, said hello, and went straight to the point: “Why do so many people suddenly come to see my master?”
Doctor Song replied: “Because Director Xu is going on a blind date, if you don’t hurry up, there will be no chance.”
What? ? ? Blind date? ? ? ! !
Min Yue almost gritted his teeth.
The author has something to say: Min Yue groundhog called: ah ah ah ah ah master is mine! ! mine! !
It’s been eight days in a row, and I feel like a bulldozer, pushing the plot forward, hahahaha.
