Chapter VI Deterioration

The days of leisure are always very short, and the Jinchaji base is located behind the plaster National University, as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of the Luo circle legs, the sweep is as common as a commonplace.

As soon as there is a war, Li Mu has to be busy, but the previous finger exercises are indeed effective, and Li Mu can clearly feel that his hands are more flexible and stable, and the knotting techniques that were difficult to do before can be easily completed.

I wanted to share the good news with my teacher, but there was a bad news from the other emergency room that the teacher had a high fever and fainted, so scared that Li Mu put down his work and rushed to his teacher's side.

As soon as he saw that the thermometer had burned to 39.6 degrees, Li Mu's blood suddenly surged, and in front of the public, he angrily yelled at Professor Norman who was lying on the hospital bed: "Teacher, when did the second infection happen? Why don't you say it? Hiding it from me, do you know that you are looking for death? ”

Although the words were rude, it was indeed a fact that Professor Norman was infected again, and the leaders of the base area and the medical staff in the ward were deeply remorseful, and it was not until Professor Norman fainted that they realized the seriousness of the matter.

Li Muqian told him that the second infection still happened. It depends on the situation and most likely it is a blood infection, that is, sepsis. This is nothing in the future, but in penicillin-deficient areas, inflammation and colds can be fatal, let alone terminal diseases like sepsis.

Suddenly I felt that the sky had fallen, and although I tried my best to avoid it, I didn't expect it to be unable to stop the trajectory of history. But Li Mu didn't want to give up, as long as there was a glimmer of life, Li Mu would fight for it.

Li Mu was extremely angry that the teacher did not take care of his body, and said to all the medical staff present with a stern face: "From now on, I will be responsible for the operation in the base area, and all the emergency wounded will be carried to me." The teacher needs to rest, and the teacher is forbidden to do any more surgery.

You call immediately and ask Nie Shuai or Yan'an to send penicillin over quickly. In the future, in the teacher's cultivation, don't save this province or that, and supplement the eggs and pork. Only by supplementing with adequate nutrition can there be hope of defeating inflammation.

From today onwards, you will keep an eye on the teacher for me, so that I don't notice him on the operating table. If you want my teacher to die sooner, continue to indulge him. ”

Li Mu knew that he had a bad attitude, but he couldn't ask for Professor Norman's consciousness by asking for soft words, so Li Mu simply became a villain, snatched the highest authority of his own teacher, and took over the medical work in the base area.

In order to allow their teachers to recuperate with peace of mind, they can rest assured that they can hand over the medical work of the base to themselves. Li Mu did surgery frantically, working day and night, proving himself and constantly improving his surgical skills.

After all, they are all open trauma surgeries, and 80% of the operations on weekdays are the same. Although there was no technical content, Li Mu's operation time became shorter and shorter, from the earliest hour to half an hour, and half an hour to twenty minutes.

Although Li Mu worked tirelessly and day and night in the front-line hospitals, and the number of successful surgeries reached 332, he was not happy at all.

Because just when he finally lay down to rest, someone came to the rear hospital, saying that Professor Norman couldn't support it, and asked Li Mu to hurry up and go to Huangshikou Village Flower Pot Hospital to see him for the last time.

As soon as Li Mu, who was in a heavy mood, walked into Professor Norman's hospital room, he saw his respected teacher leaning on the head of the bed with a pillow, breathing like a gossamer, dying.

This tragic image made Li Mu's heart feel as if he had been tightened, and it was very uncomfortable.

At this time, standing next to Professor Norman's bed was Director Lin Guotang, who hurried back from Yan'an, and after seeing that it was Professor Norman's proud protégé Li Mu who came in, he was very ashamed and regretful: "Li Mu, we have done our best. The day before yesterday, the operation on the elbow abscess was incised, and it was already a systemic infection, and it was still too late. However, the postoperative condition was terrible, with swollen lymph nodes in the armpit accompanied by severe pain, vomiting, and a high fever of more than 40 degrees. Now that he has taken some antipyretics, Comrade Bethune has come to his senses. Some words ......"

Seeing that his teacher was tortured by illness and became inhuman, Li Mu suddenly became angry, and after clenching his fists, he directly interrupted the other party and shouted loudly: "Surgery? Why didn't you notify me? Why not me? This is my teacher, not your specimen, who let you mess around. ”

Li Mu was very emotional, Director Lin's face in the room was red and white, and he had no reason to refute the failure of the operation, so he lowered his head and let Li Mu scold.

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that Li Mu was indiscriminate, and as soon as he came in, he taught the director of the hospital a lesson, Professor Norman struggled to support the bed board with both hands, and after finally sitting up, he puffed up his breath and scolded: "Li Mu, I'm not dead yet." It's still up to me here, Director Lin is the head of the first hospital, when will it be your turn to teach a lesson? If you don't fight for a day, go to the house and uncover the tiles, and you stand on my side.

I know it's not their fault. I was the one who delayed the treatment, but I don't regret it, although the two years here are short, but I have a good time, and my only hope is to be able to contribute more.

If I am gone, you are to write to the General Secretary of the United States, Browder, with a captured sword, and send me my photographs, diaries, and documents.

To Tim Booker and all my comrades in Canada and the United States.

I have asked the International Aid Committee to allocate a living allowance to my divorced wife, Mrs. Campbell, for whom I am very responsible. In addition, two marching beds and two pairs of British leather shoes were given to Commander Nie; Riding boots and breeches, please hand them over to Commander Lu; Two boxes for Minister Ye; 18 kinds of medical equipment were given to Vice Minister You, Dr. Du and Principal Jiang of the Health School.

typewriter and bandages Comrade Lang; watches and mosquito nets to Comrade Pan; A box of food and literary books for Comrade Dong is my New Year's gift to him, his wife, and children;

Give each my imp and groom a blanket, and a pair of Japanese leather shoes; Camera to Sha Fei; cisterns, etc., for the camera crew; Medical books and small alarm clocks to health schools.

250 pounds of quinine and 300 pounds of iron are bought each year to treat malaria and anemia.

Don't go to Baoding and Tianjin to buy medicines, where the price is twice as expensive as in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Li Mu, don't be sad. The last two years have been the happiest and most meaningful days of my life. Although I am about to go away, you are my successor, and I hope that you will be able to return here after you have fulfilled my request.

I don't have the opportunity to see the new era coming, I just hope you can help me take a look, and I will be satisfied. Ahem...... Not much more...... You get out......"

Professor Norman held on to his sick body, and actually said so much in one breath, Li Mu knew that the teacher was explaining the aftermath. Li Mu, who failed to reverse history, found himself so incompetent for the first time that he could only slam the wall helplessly, and finally walked out of the ward in frustration.

The next day, November 12, at 5:20 a.m., Dr. Bethune passed away quietly.
