072 Extreme Feeling
In the past two days, my father has been in a particularly good mood, and that is because of his beautiful vision. These days, my father is really in a panic in the hospital. For my father now, the hospital is like an extremely depressing mental cage, and being able to leave such a cage is the most pleasant thing in the world.
The next day, after the attending physician's rounds, his assistant came over with a cart. My father looked at the cart with all kinds of medical equipment with very kind eyes. At this moment, in my father's eyes, this cart was the key to unlocking the sturdy cage in which he was trapped. Seeing it (the cart) is also seeing freedom.
The cart did not disappoint the father, and with the help of the utensils on it, the young assistant finally began to work. He first put on a mask, then gloves. The young helper's target was the feeding tube in his father's nose, which had been suffering for a long time. After the stench and uncontrollable vomiting disappeared, my father felt relieved. An unprecedented sense of comfort swept through the body. My father couldn't help but close his eyes in pleasure. It is only after the excruciating pain that the feeling of extreme happiness can be more pronounced. At this moment, my father was immersed in unprecedented happiness.
A feeding tube is inserted into the throat through the nostrils and then through the esophagus and into the deep part of the body. It is said that the feeding tube leads to the small intestine, while the other nasal tube, which has been removed long ago, leads to the stomach. From the very beginning of the intubation, my father was already in pain. To this day, I can still vividly remember the tragic scene of my father's nasal tube insertion. The nose is an extremely sensitive part of the human body. To put it mildly, even a large booger stuffed in it can make people feel extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, many people will regard the nose as one of the most accessible and great pleasures in life. Think about what it would be like to have to put a finger-thick plastic tube into your nostrils now. Not to mention my father, even I, who was just standing by and watching, felt uncomfortable.
Nurses are no stranger. She said so lightly: "Old man, it may be a little painful to insert a nasal tube. However, if you swallow the tube like a noodle, it should be inserted in no time. It will be much less painful that way. ”
My father was a very strong man, and at least, I didn't see the slightest hint of fear from the side. Seeing that the father nodded calmly, the nurse started decisively. I saw that she first put on disposable plastic gloves, then picked up the long tube, and plunged it into her father's nostril without mercy.
At this moment, I deeply realized the true meaning of what my class teacher said when I graduated from high school, and I must have a "ruthless" attitude when choosing a profession such as medicine. Although I am a dignified seven-foot man, if it were me, then I would never be able to do such a "ruthless" thing. This nurse is "ruthless enough"!
The intense irritation caused my father to cough violently. The cough was accompanied by a "gushing" of tears and snot. Despite several efforts, the half-inserted tube was eventually coughed out by my father.
Oh! Could it be that this is what the nurse calls "some pain"? What a man! At a young age, he can fool people like this! I couldn't help but curse the young nurse in my heart.
Think about it in hindsight. I really wronged that beautiful nurse at the time. Because if she didn't say that, then the patient would have been filled with great fear before the intubation, and the intubation process would definitely have become even more unsmooth.
"What's your cough?" The nurse reproached, "Didn't you swallow that tube like a noodle?" ”
"Noodles? Is there such a thick and hard noodle in this world? The father also seemed to be angry, and asked sarcastically.
The nurse didn't seem to expect her father to fight back so sharply, but after a big battle, she was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a serious face: "I know, it may be very uncomfortable, but for surgery, you have to insert a nasal cannula." If you don't actively cooperate, then you can only suffer yourself! ”
Of course, my father could hear what the nurse meant. If you don't cooperate, the number of insertions will inevitably increase, and every time you insert more, you will have more pain. "I didn't say I wouldn't cooperate, but it was hard not to cough because something so thick was stuck in my nostrils and up my throat. Well, come on! I'll try my best to keep myself under control this time! ”
Seeing my father's determined and resolute expression, my heart was filled with admiration. If it were me, I would not have been as resolute as my father when I thought I was terrified after suffering once.
The second time, although my father was still in tears and snot, as he said, he really tried his best to control it. Until the intubation was completed, my father did not even cough. My eyes were moist. What perseverance it takes!
Of the several patients I saw who also had nasal tubes inserted, my father was the smoothest one. None of the others were less than four times. Among them, one of the most unbearable was that after the intubation was completed, he continued to retch for a long time. It wasn't until the nurse threatened him that if he coughed again, he would squirt out the feeding tube and then have to reinsert it, that the patient stopped retching in extreme fear.
Since then, foreign bodies have been present in the nostrils. Maybe I'm getting used to it and feeling more comfortable. But every time I swallow saliva or food, the tube in my throat rolls around. That feeling is definitely very uncomfortable.
My father's nutrition tube took much longer to insert than ordinary people. When the tube was pulled out of the nostrils, I saw that the bottom part was blue to black. It is estimated that it is due to mildew in the small intestine for a long time. No wonder my father had such a painful look when he pulled it out. When the moldy tube passes through the throat and nose tube, it will definitely emit a very pungent smell. Under the stimulation of such an unpleasant smell, it was not easy for my father to be able to hold back and not vomit.
After a long period of torture in the feeding tube and the stimulation of the sudden nauseous smell, my father could feel the comfort of the extreme. At that moment, the words pain and happiness were most perfectly interpreted in the father. The two sides of the contradiction are so harmonious and natural. After the extreme pain, happiness is completely sublimated.
Seeing my father's expression of great enjoyment, I felt that the exhaustion accumulated in the past month was suddenly swept away. As long as the father can be happy and happy, all the efforts will be worth it.
