Chapter 123: The Patient
Rob listened to her quietly, as if he were there.
"The corridor is more than ten meters long and very short. Except for the three medical staff in blue isolation gowns in front of them, it was empty. The lights were bright enough to shine on the yellow-painted walls, and they were inexplicably warm. The nurse led me forward, the tiled floor was smooth, and the sound of the machine passing by was much quieter. I pushed the cart past the first room, the door of the isolation room was closed. ”
The doctor and another nurse were standing at the door of the second isolation room, still closed. The nurse who led the way pushed open the door before me. I stopped at the door and looked inside......"
"It was a 6-square-meter room, white lit, with two rows of blue metal chairs. The patient sits alone in a blue chair, looking to be in his mid-thirties, of medium height, with an N95 mask next to his black-rimmed glasses. The suitcase at your feet is a bit glaring. ”
He was silent and very calm. I just glanced up when I walked in, and then lowered my head again. Seeing him look so normal, I hesitated. From what little experience I had, I sketched a picture of lying in bed, full of electrodes, inhaling oxygen, and gasping for air. But it wasn't, and I wasn't sure to ask the nurse next to me, was it him? ”
The doctor on the side, who was also wearing an isolation gown, asked me if I could take a picture of the side of the chest, and I shook my head, saying that it was impossible to do it next to the bed, and this room was too small, with two rows of seats, no bed, and the machine could not be used. We need certain conditions to shoot. The best posture for the examinee is to lie on the bed, and there should be a distance of about one meter between the robot tube and the person. When shooting, the tube is pulled out and the plate-shaped detector is placed at the bottom to form a vertical relationship with the tube. So he couldn't shoot while he was sitting there. ”
The nurses discussed, and one mentioned that there was a new room that was vacant and had a bed. We decided to change places. I took two steps back, and the nurse walked to the new room, pushed the door open, and showed him with her hand to come out of where he was. The patient got up silently, walked to the new room, and lay down on the bed as the nurse had instructed. ”
"Just as I was taking the detector off the bedside machine, he spoke first. He said he took a high-speed train ride and came back with a sore body. I was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was giving me an account of his medical history. I said it didn't matter, check it out and we'll find out, but that's all I can say. ”
He closed his eyes. I asked him to lift his upper body slightly and put the detector under his back. The first time there was a slight deviation in position, I asked him to lift up again, and when adjusting the left and right, I was careful not to touch his body clothes and not directly at his mouth and nose. He didn't speak, just adjusted his body slightly as I instructed him. ”
After adjusting his position, he lay down again, and I took the camera grip and hid with the doctor behind the radiation-proof lead plate pushed by the nurse at the door, and pressed the exposure button. Didi twice, the shooting is complete. I walked into the room, and the doctor walked up to me, and the two nurses were still standing far away in the hallway. ”
"I looked at the images with the doctor. Judging from the image, there is no obvious abnormality, it is a normal and healthy chest X-ray image, and the doctor can't help but say: It's okay. I thought to myself, could it be a false alarm? I was a little relieved, but I didn't completely relax, after all, the rate of missed chest X-rays at the bedside was relatively high. ”
"I pushed the cart and waved at the nurse who was still standing in the hallway, joking with her, I hope I won't see you a second time tonight. When I got to the door, the nurse who led the way opened the door, smiled at me, and told me to take off my isolation gown at the door. I nodded, pushed the bedside machine out the door, and she closed the glass door behind her. ”
"The nurse went back to the window and handed me a yellow medical garbage bag from the window and told me to put the clothes I had taken off inside. The knot of the isolation gown is on the back, and the dead knot that was tied before, I now experience the consequences. I put the garbage bag on the ground, pinned my right hand behind my back, and felt the dead knot, but somehow I just thought about untying it with my right hand, and I couldn't untie it. ”
"The security guard brother who passed by was very kind, and when he saw that I was struggling so hard, he walked towards me and wanted to help me out. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he was spotted by the nurse who was paying close attention to everything. She shouted, "Don't touch her!"
"The big brother was startled, looked at me, and I smiled apologetically. In fact, I was also taken aback, and my heart was very hairy, so I went to thank the security guard brother and said: I'll come by myself, don't touch me. I was so ruthless that I tore off the isolation gown and threw it into my pocket. Then I ripped off my shoe cover and hat, threw it in my pocket, and passed it through the window. ”
"Before leaving, the nurse took out a mask from the cabinet by the window, handed it to me, told me to change it, and told me to be careful when I went back through the crowd. I walked through the emergency hall, and the emergency room was still busy, with countless cries, shouts, and quarrels, which were still familiar to me. I walked against the wall, deliberately staying away from everyone. ”
"Pushing a two-meter-high bedside machine, I usually walk on the road to attract attention. People are pointing at this machine, people are constantly asking what it is, and people are constantly asking how you can push such a heavy machine as a little girl. I always smile proudly at this, saying that I am very talented and powerful, and I never mention that it is actually electric. But at the time, I just wanted to hurry back. ”
"I really hope that person is not infected, I hope I am just worried, but immediately I am worried that if he does get infected, my protection will be worried. Along the way, I figured out the idea of disinfection. Everything I wear needs to be changed and disinfected, and who knows where the virus will get in. After returning to the department, I called the cleaning aunt, who brought a disinfectant spray and carefully sprayed the machine with disinfectant, wiped it with a clean rag, and disinfected it thoroughly. ”
"I changed my spare lab coat myself, even my glasses, and my mobile phone on duty was wiped with alcohol. At this time, the mobile phone on duty rang again. is the general duty of the hospital. I replied yes, and the teacher asked me if I knew that this patient was a suspected case before the shooting, what kind of protective measures had been taken, and whether I had disinfected it after I came back. ”
"The teacher said that the patient was going to come for a CT, and I was asked to pay more attention to it, and the whole thing should be disinfected after the examination was completed. I sighed in my heart and could only respond in one gulp, and before hanging up the phone, I reminded the teacher that there were only the most basic masks and gloves here, and that additional protective equipment was needed. Ten minutes later, the teacher brought me a gown, a hat, and a foot cover......"
