my private life

Chapter 3

I was awakened by a sound of talking.It was already dawn, and the other patients in the ward got up, and everyone was busy washing and eating breakfast.

My father was standing by the bed listening to Dr. Xia.Did she not come home all night?Dr. Xia is very dedicated.

"Hasn't Mo Fan passed gas yet?" Listening to Dr. Xia's question, my father shook his head at a loss, "Her mother said she didn't fart."

I didn't see my mother, probably she went to work early in the morning.I would rather have my dad by my side than my nagging mom.

Seeing that I woke up, Dr. Xia asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well last night? The catheter will be removed by the nurse in a while." Then she leaned down and asked me in a low voice, "Have you not exhausted yet?"

I don't understand why it's so important to exhaust air after the operation, so that she just said this when she came in.I thought about it and shook my head like my dad.

Dr. Xia stared at me as if he was thinking about something, then reached into my quilt.I still had a catheter inserted, and I sweated a lot that night, the smell in the quilt must be very bad, I was so panicked that I instinctively wanted to avoid her hand, and moved my body slightly inside.

Dr. Xia pressed my lower abdomen twice with slightly warm hands, and then gently rubbed it.I knew she was helping me move my bowels to get my gas out as quickly as possible.I'm really worried that if I can't control myself and fart right now after being rubbed by her, it would be so embarrassing.I feel like my face is getting hot again.

Seeing my embarrassment, Dr. Xia pursed his lips and smiled.The hand on my lower abdomen intensified a little bit, and I always felt like she did it on purpose.I don't know if I imagined it or actually saw it, her eyes winked at me mischievously. "I'll do it myself." I could feel my earlobe getting hot.

"Are you accompanying Mo Fan during the day today?" Dr. Xia turned to my father and asked, but she didn't pull out her hand and continued to massage.

"Her mother has gone to work. Tell me, doctor, if you have any orders. Oh, her aunt will be here in a while." I think this last sentence was thought of by my father on the spur of the moment, because he also felt that he was a big man accompanying me It is indeed a little inconvenient.

I heard my gurgling bowel sounds, and immediately held Dr. Xia's hand, "I'll do it myself." I said shyly, "I'll tell you when I'm exhausted."

"At the belly button, massage in a clockwise direction." She looked down at me and finally took her hand back. "You can't eat if you don't exhaust gas." She didn't forget to tell my dad before going out.

She finally left, and I let out a long sigh of relief. I was so nervous in front of her that I was sweating.

"This Dr. Xia is very responsible." An aunt in the clinic praised, "It is rare to see such a responsible doctor these days, and he is so beautiful."

Another younger woman said disapprovingly, "I heard that she was just assigned, and I don't know how good she is. If it was me, I wouldn't let a second knife like her operate on me and use patients as experiments." products." She must have heard the nurse's complaint last night.

"Every doctor has his first operation, and there may not always be problems. I see this doctor is very serious and responsible." What my honest and kind father said was very popular.

I personally feel that the operation was successful because I don't feel any discomfort at the moment.

An hour later, Hulala came in with a large group of medical staff in white coats.The leader was a small, middle-aged man with a stethoscope hanging around his neck, his hands in his pockets, and he walked to the hospital bed closest to the door with figure-of-eight steps.

A dozen men and women quickly surrounded them, and Dr. Xia also stood behind the crowd.I feel sorry for her. I stayed in the hospital all day yesterday. Do I still have to go back and forth today?

During the ward rounds, I knew from people's conversations that this small male doctor was Director Qi of the General Surgery Department, and most of the people behind him were interns.

After questioning the first two patients in detail, Director Qi led the team to my bed.

"Bed 25 came in yesterday, repair of traumatic splenic rupture." A female doctor read the record in her hand. Bed 25 is my number.

Director Qi took out his stethoscope, raised his chin at me, and motioned for me to lift the quilt.In front of so many people, especially there are many young male doctors here, I am a little shy.I slowly pulled the quilt down under my chest.

Director Qi touched my breasts with his fingers when he put the stethoscope, I think I blushed.I also know that this is a doctor's routine examination, which is a normal job.But I am in adolescence, and I am extra sensitive to my body.

"Who is in charge of bed 25?" He ignored my embarrassment and asked loudly.

"Me." Doctor Xia who was behind the crowd responded immediately.Someone turned sideways for Dr. Xia to stand beside Director Qi. "I was the chief surgeon. The condition in bed 25 was very critical at the time, and bleeding had already occurred when I came in."

Director Qi put the stethoscope back, and without seeing Dr. Xia, he asked a female doctor to read the medical records, "Why not take the spleen removal? Repairing a ruptured spleen can easily lead to postoperative infection or rebleeding." , That's more dangerous." He said blankly.

"From the CT image, it can be judged that her spleen rupture and hemorrhage are not large, which is more suitable for repair. The fact is that her spleen did not hurt the spleen hilum and splenic pedicle." Dr. Xia kept a modest smile on his face. She inadvertently glanced at another female doctor who was much older than her.

"You were not here yesterday. I will study with several doctors and come up with a plan to protect the spleen. I have read Xiaoxia's operation records, and I think it is very successful." The female doctor's tone was very slow, but it sounded powerful to me.

I heard someone whispering in the crowd that repairing a ruptured spleen is far more difficult than removing it.Later, I learned that splenectomy was a common treatment at that time.The spleen is an important immune organ of the human body, and the human body is susceptible to infection after resection, while the repair operation with the spleen retained is risky, prone to massive bleeding during the operation, and is extremely susceptible to infection.This is why Dr. Xia came to check on my condition several times a night.

Director Qi didn't seem to hear what these people said, he flipped through the records again, and then looked down at the abdominal drainage bag hanging beside the bed.

When he looked up, I thought he would praise Dr. Xia.But he didn't say a word, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed into a downward arc, his hands were in his pockets, he turned and walked out.

Obviously Director Qi didn't want to see Dr. Xia.Doctor Xia hurriedly stepped aside to make way for Director Qi.She raised her eyebrows slightly at me as she left.I think she wants to show that she doesn't care about Director Qi's indifference.

Perhaps Director Qi never expected that ten years later, Xiao Xia, who was not liked by him, was no longer the modest Dr. Xia she was back then. Director of General Surgery.Of course, these are things for later.

A week later, I no longer had a fever, and I was able to walk on the ground without being accompanied by anyone.

Usually, I wish I could leave school early or hope that I will never have to go back to that ghost school again, bid farewell to the high school life of studying hard in the cold window, but lying on the hospital bed, I start to panic, worrying that I won’t be able to go there for a few days Attending class delays studies.I miss my classmates and teachers.

I read and memorized English words on the hospital bed.My mother was very pleased to see me working hard.

It was fine during the day, but the ward was relatively quiet. As soon as 10 o'clock in the evening, the woman in bed 24 shouted to turn off the light. She said she couldn't sleep with the bright light.The night of my surgery the lights were on in the ward, which kept her awake all night.

I couldn't read books in the ward, so I took the English book to the corridor.In the middle of the night, the corridor was also very quiet.There were no chairs to sit in the corridor, so I just stood under a window at the top of the corridor and memorized words.I don't know if it was the effect of the general anesthesia, or I was absent-minded. In short, when I recited the words I thought I had just memorized, I found that I only remembered 30 of the 12 words.This unsatisfactory result made me anxious and frustrated. Could it be that my memory has declined?

I was standing there blaming myself, when I heard a voice behind me, "Why are you still here, beware of catching a cold."

The tall figure of Dr. Xia was reflected on the glass of the window.I turned around slowly and looked at her sadly.Dr. Xia said sternly, "It's already 12 o'clock, go back and rest quickly, if you want to study, you don't care about the time."

I thought there was a part of reproach and part of sarcasm in her voice.I used to be angry with myself, I didn't study hard, and now I understand the value of time after being hospitalized, but studying all night has little effect.

Dr. Xia's ridicule made me very sensitive. I remembered what my mother often said when she scolded me for being playful and not working hard. Show how hard you are.

I reluctantly walked to the ward.I could still feel a slight pain from the wound when I walked. I walked very slowly, and Dr. Xia also slowed down and walked alongside me.

"Are you going to take the college entrance examination soon?" Dr. Xia noticed my depression, she turned to look at me and asked, "Which university do you want to go to?" Her tone was much calmer.

My grades are usually mediocre, but now I can't even go to school, and my homework naturally falls behind.For a student like me who is usually idle, whether he can be admitted to a university is the most important issue. As for which university to go to, it is not something I can decide.

After hearing my concerns, Dr. Xia smiled and said, "So lack of self-confidence." She shook her head in disbelief, "I think you are a smart child, smart people are smart in everything, don't worry, put your Let’s talk when the illness recovers.”

"Can I go to school after I leave the hospital?" If it only takes two weeks, maybe I can catch up with the review progress of my classmates if I work harder.

Walking to my ward, Dr. Xia stopped in his tracks, tilted his head and looked at me for a few seconds, and then slowly said, "I'm afraid you can't, you have to rest for a month. I asked you to walk around to prevent intestinal adhesions. It’s not about you exercising. You can never stand for two hours like you did just now.”

Go home and rest for a month, doesn't that mean that I should give up the college entrance examination?For the first time in my student career, I got a good grade that attracted people's attention, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, which caused me to be physically injured, and I am afraid that I missed the college entrance examination.

"So you're still a potential stock. I think you can get lucky or get lucky." Dr. Xia analyzed it for me unhurriedly, "If you think about it, if you review according to your own plan in a month, maybe It will make better use of your time than if the teacher takes it. I suggest that you don’t rush to review, and make a good plan for the next few days. Concentrate on making up for the shortcomings in your homework, so as not to score too badly in the exam. Don’t spend too much energy and time on subjects you have learned well, as it will be difficult to keep improving in a short period of time.”

I understood what she meant, which was to focus on my worst subjects.It is relatively easy to improve from a low level to an intermediate level, and those subjects that I usually have a solid study in can just keep the status quo.In this way, the scores of the 7 courses are relatively even, so that there will not be too bad grades.

My worst thing is mathematics, but during the month of recuperating at home, without the guidance of the teacher, it is impossible for me to make a big breakthrough in a short period of time.My hospitalization has already cost the family a lot of money, and my mother will never pay for my tutor again.

"Mathematics can improve your grades suddenly, but Chinese will take more time. Unfortunately, mathematics is not my strong point." Dr. Xia smiled shyly, "If you have any questions, just ask me. If you haven't forgotten, I will definitely help you. Go back and rest first."

After listening to her enlightenment, I feel much better.I think it is my luck to meet Dr. Xia.I went back to the ward lightly, and while lying on the bed, I suddenly thought, Dr. Xia just said that I stood outside for two hours at a time, how did she know that I had been standing in the corridor since 10 o'clock?
