Chapter 052: Life Hangs by a Thread
"Oh! I see. It dawned on the doctor.
So, he turned to the old uncle and asked, "Old man, what have you eaten in the past two days?"
"Pumpkin, fungus, pork, and, Chinese cabbage······" However, before the old man could finish his words, he crackled and vomited on the ground.
After a while, he fainted and fell unconscious.
Seeing this, Tian Tian couldn't help but scream in shock.
In an instant, there was a commotion in the emergency room, and the doctors and nurses hurriedly carried him into the emergency bed and sent him to the emergency room.
About half an hour later, a nurse came out and asked, "Does this patient have any family? ”
"But. As far as I know, it seems that he has no close family members, because he lives alone. Moreover, I didn't see any other relatives in contact. ”
Tian Tian told the truth.
"What? No family members or relatives? What can I do?" the nurse seemed particularly surprised, and was visibly anxious.
"Miss Nurse, what's wrong?"
"Yes, according to the diagnosis of our authoritative doctor, this patient is very likely to have food poisoning. Now the liver and kidneys are severely failed, and he is critically ill. We need to issue a critical illness notice. ”
The nurse hesitated to tell Tian Tian, but in the end, she was determined to tell the truth.
"Severe failure?what do you mean?Will you die?" Tian Tian's face was shocked and frightened, she stared straight at the nurse with a pair of big black grape-like eyes.
"It's hard to say, perhaps, it's possible. The nurse whispered.
"Huh?"
After hearing this, Tian Tian was like five thunderbolts, and his face changed dramatically.
However, I heard that people who drink pesticides can hope to be saved, why······ ?
Tian Tian couldn't believe that things could be so bad no matter what!
"The doctor said that there could be a problem with black fungus. He asked me to ask if the fungus that the old gentleman ate was fresh or soaked dry, and if it was, how many hours had it been soaked?
"I don't know. Still, I think he should have eaten takeout. Because he had gout in his hands and feet, he could barely travel. I can't buy vegetables, cook rice, and do housework. ”
"Oh, I see. ”
So, the nurse turned around and went into the emergency room.
Later, the old man was pushed into the intensive care unit.
The nurse handed Tian a payment slip.
Looking at this dense and long bill, Tian Tian blushed and was at a loss.
Oh my God, where do you have so much money, and where do you go to get such a huge sum of money?
In this city, I have no relatives and no reason;
Pick it up? I don't have such good luck;
I'm not so bold!
At this moment, Tian Tian really wants to have a magic pen like Ma Liang - he can paint whatever he wants, how good!
In order to avoid embarrassment and embarrassment, she longed to burrow into the crack in the ground and escape.
In desperation, she had to let out a long sigh and get up and walk to the doctor's office.
She had to confess to the doctor that she had no money and begged him to forgive her for a few days.
As soon as he saw the attending doctor, Tian Tian admitted straight to the point that he had no money.
It was not at all surprising to her, and sure enough, the doctor was surprised and embarrassed.
She spoke sweetly for a long time, and the other party reluctantly agreed.
In this way, she left with peace of mind.
What can she do? She still has to go to Mr. Jiang's house to cook dinner.
When Tian Tian brought his chestnut stewed chicken, garlic oil and mushroom soup to the table and left, it was already 5:55 in the afternoon.
Mr. Jiang was about to go home for dinner at around 6:05.
Subsequently, Tian Tian came to the hospital, but was told by the medical staff that "the patient's condition is unstable and he cannot enter the hospital to visit." ”
The doctor advised her to go back.
So, she went back to the rental house with peace of mind.
The next day, Tian Tian made lunch for Mr. Jiang and then made a detour to visit the hospital.
According to the nurse, the old uncle once stopped breathing, and was brought back to life after the doctor's full rescue.
In addition to being shocked, Tian Tian's heart swelled with infinite gratitude and admiration. I would like to thank the doctors for their excellent medical skills and high sense of responsibility.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the hospital allowed visitors inside.
Under the guidance and guidance of the nurse, Tian Tian changed into special clothes, shoes and hats and followed into the intensive care unit tremblingly.
For some reason, as soon as she stepped into this special ward, which was almost "isolated", especially after the heavy door behind her "snapped" tightly, suddenly, a trace of unspeakable fear rose in her heart.
Looking at these days lying on the hospital bed, which ones are lucky enough to walk out of that door and regain their lives, and which ones are regrettable to end their lives here?
Tian Tian thought like this, and timidly walked through the hospital beds.
Suddenly, the nurse leading the way stopped at one of the beds, and she exasperated angrily and signaled, "It's here." ”
Tian Tian took a closer look, and after careful identification, he found that this old man who was lying unconscious on the bed with tubes all over his body was none other than him, the old uncle.
Seeing such a pitiful and miserable situation, her heart couldn't help but tremble.
At that moment, her heart was so heavy that she didn't even know how she got out of the intensive care unit.
Tian Tian thought to himself, can he survive it? But, it seems, it's quite hanging!
For some reason, she suddenly lost her confidence.
However, unexpectedly, the next day, the doctor solemnly informed the old uncle that he was awake.
Wake up? This also indicates that he is temporarily out of danger.
This is really exciting news!
That morning, the old man was taken to the general ward.
The doctor said that it was okay to eat soup, gruel, etc.
So, Tian Tian immediately went outside to buy a bowl of lean pig.
She sat on the edge of the hospital bed and fed the old man spoonful by spoonful, chatting happily.
"Old uncle, you scared me to death! Do you know how many days you have been asleep?"
"How many days?"
"Three days. You've slept for three days. ”
"Really?"
"Hmm. By the way, how are you feeling right now? Do you still have a headache and abdominal pain?"
"It feels so much better. ”
"That's good. ”
"Eight bed payment slips. Before the words fell, a nurse with a stack of documents in her hand appeared, she took down the top one, handed it to Tian Tian, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly, she turned around and instructed: "It's best, pay what you owe a few days ago." ”
Looking at the back of the nurse leaving, Tian Tian snorted embarrassedly, and stopped talking.
So, then, she gave the bill to the old uncle.
The old man looked at it and said nothing.
Tian Tian took out the payment slip from a few days ago and spread it in front of the old man, looking at the strings of dazzling numbers, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh while being surprised.
Perhaps, he didn't expect to spend so much money.
After pondering for a moment, he said curtly, "Can you go back and help me get my social security card and passbook?" in the bedside table on the left. ”
Immediately, he took out a key from his underwear and handed it to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian hurriedly refused at a loss.
"No, no, that's not good? Old uncle, please calm down! After all, money is a sensitive thing, and besides, I am only an outsider. I'm worried about ······"
"Are you worried that I will doubt you if I lose something in the future?" the old man interrupted her impatiently, "Since I told you to go, I must absolutely believe you, so why should you worry about it? Besides, if you don't give money, the hospital, can you let me be discharged?"
"This ······" She was speechless, but she still didn't feel right. Then he said, "Why don't I go back with you?"
Tian Tian really doesn't want to become an inexplicable suspect in the future, even if it is only the slightest suspicion.
You know, if an innocent and frank person is suspected of being unprovoked, it will be a great shame for her.
"In this way, you really don't want to go back?" the old man looked at her very strangely, and the second monk was puzzled.
"After all, it's a matter of money, and I don't dare to take it lightly. ”
"Oh well. I'll pick it up myself. The old man seemed to have a hint of disappointment and displeasure.
"Then I'll go and ask the doctor for leave. ”
After speaking, Tian Tian walked towards the medical office.
She went to the attending doctor and explained the situation.
But the doctor did not advocate it, and only after asking whether the patient's condition was okay did he say: "In principle, hospitalized patients are not allowed to go out at will, and we doctors are responsible for each of our patients. However, you must return to the hospital within an hour. If the patient is unwell, he or she should come back in time. ”
So, under the doctor's advice, they cautiously went to the local taxi.
Soon, I returned home.
Tian Tian helped the hobbling old man into the back room, in order to avoid suspicion, she took the initiative to exit the house, came to a corner of the courtyard, she looked at the three-cornered plum that was blooming with great interest, the clusters of pink or rose petals are extraordinarily enchanting, it is really beautiful.
It was estimated that the time was about the same, and after the old man had finished the matter, she turned around and returned.
As soon as I turned around, I saw that the old man was already trembling out.
Tian Tian hurriedly greeted him, helped him to the side of the road outside the courtyard, and waited patiently for the bus.
After getting out of the car, they went to a nearby bank again.
Unfortunately, the counter has long been closed and cannot handle business.
Helpless, only disappointed.
Well, it looks like it's time to explain it to the doctor again. Otherwise, he will mistakenly think that we lied to him.
Tian Tian thought to herself.
After sending the old man back to the ward, she had to say goodbye for a while, and then ran all the way to Mr. Jiang's house.
No matter what, she can't delay her work and make the owner dissatisfied.
No matter what you do, you must be meticulous in your duties.
Because of the difference between men and women, Tian Tian is inconvenient to serve the elderly.
So, she hired a male nurse to be on duty at night.
However, at first, the old man firmly disagreed.
The doctor said that to be on the safe side, someone must accompany you at night.
In this way, he had to agree.
