My father, who had always been accustomed to going to bed early and waking up early, woke up before six o'clock. After the brother-in-law got up, the father began to complain. Father thinks that our arrangement this time is very unreasonable. He believes that my brother-in-law and I are the main force of the guard, and we should not appear at the same time, but should be on cross-duty. My brother-in-law and I thought about it and thought it made sense. Of course, even if you think it doesn't make sense, you will definitely echo it in order to comfort your father.

Just after seven o'clock, my mother came. She wanted to go back to bed with my brother-in-law and me as soon as possible. My brother-in-law had to go to school in the morning, so he left the hospital immediately when he saw his mother coming.

Although my mother asked me to go back, I knew that the attending physician would come over immediately, and there would be important things to order today. If only her mother is there, then she may not be able to figure out a lot of things as she is illiterate. Therefore, I insisted on waiting in the hospital room.

Just after eight o'clock, the attending physician came. I was right. After a normal inspection, the attending physician said very solemnly; "From today onwards, in order to ensure the normal nutritional supply of patients, in addition to infusing a certain amount of nutrient solution, your family members must regularly inject a certain amount of soup from the nutrition tube as a supplement."

"Oh, director, I don't know what kind of soup is more appropriate?" Of course, I'm going to ask if there's anything I don't know.

"At first, try it with a thick rice soup, and there can be no rice grains. If there are no abnormal reactions, then the nutrition can be gradually increased. For example, vegetables such as greens and carrots can be boiled together with rice, and of course, fish and bones can also be used to make soup......"

"Is mullet soup okay?" Mother asked.

"After getting used to it, of course you can!" The attending physician replied in the affirmative.

"Understood, director, may I ask, a certain amount, how much?" I asked again.

"Don't worry, I was about to mention it!" The attending physician smiled and said, "Is there a syringe?" ”

"Nope." I answered truthfully.

"It's okay, I have one here." The attending physician said as he took out a brand-new unopened syringe from the pocket of his coat, "Look at it." Unpack it first. He said as he demonstrated, "Then pull the needle out." Is there warm water? ”

"There is cool boiled water!" I have a habit of pouring cold water for the next time I drink it, "I'll mix some warm water right away." ”

The attending physician saw the turn and immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, bring this syringe on, remember, draw 20 to 40 ml." There are scales on it. ”

"Good!" After receiving the brand-new syringe from the attending physician, I replied very cheerfully.

Come to the bathroom as fast as possible, mix warm water as quickly as possible, then pump a little more than 20 ml of water as quickly as possible, and then return to the hospital bed as quickly as possible.

"What I said next, you have to listen carefully, if there is anything unclear, you can ask, but there must be no omission." The attending physician said with a serious face.

Of course, I swear that nothing will go wrong. In fact, even without his instructions, for the sake of my father, I would have listened attentively and made sure that I remembered every word.

"First of all, you have to figure out which tube you have to inject from. There are two tubes on the nose, this one is the stomach tube and this one is the nutrition tube. The gastric juice that the nurse comes to draw every day is drawn from this tube (I nodded when I heard this). This is the nutrient tube, which is the tube that now infuses the nutrient solution. Make no mistake! ”

When I saw the eyes of the attending physician, I could only nod vigorously.

"Before injecting into the feeding tube, you have to hold the syringe in the palm of your hand. Any idea why you are doing this? The attending physician turned his head to me while holding the syringe with warm water in his hand.

"Yes, try the temperature!" I almost blurted out my reply.

"Well, smart!" The attending physician complimented, then continued, "Come on, you try!" ”

I shook it as he did.

"Not bad. Remember, such a temperature is just right. The attending physician took the syringe I handed back and continued, "If you are infusing the nutrient solution, then you need to close the control valve first, and then pull out the tube that is used to infuse the nutrient solution." When pulling out, first fold the head of the feeding tube on the nose in reverse. This avoids backflow of the nutrient solution in the tube. If there is no infusion, then when the plug on the head of the feeding tube is removed, it should also be folded in the opposite direction. The attending physician demonstrated as he spoke, "Then, insert the syringe into the jack." ”

Seeing that the attending physician paused again, I immediately nodded my head to indicate that I understood.

"When injecting in, keep it at a certain inclination and keep the needle pointing down." The attending physician continued, "This way, even if there is air, it will not be pushed into the feeding tube. When pushing in, don't be too fast, try to be as slow as possible, and remember, one injection must not be less than two minutes. ”

Now that I've learned to be obedient, I don't need the attending physician to stop, as long as he tilts his eyes to me, he quickly nods.

The attending physician was very satisfied with my reaction, and the smile on his face became a little thicker, this time without pausing, and continued coherently: "After the injection is completed, it is still necessary to fold it in reverse, then pull out the syringe, and then plug the plug on the feeding tube tightly. Next, the syringe should be cleaned. Don't forget, you also have to draw a small amount of warm water with a syringe to rinse the residue out of the tube. Of course, as long as the plug on the feeding tube is pulled out or plugged on, it must be folded in reverse.

At the beginning of the injection, you can make a small amount, 30 to 40 ml. After two or three adaptations, there were no adverse reactions, and each time in the future, it was a syringe, that is, 60 ml. Injections are given every hour. If you feel thirsty, you can also inject a small amount of plain water from the feeding tube. Please do not change the composition, dosage and frequency of injections without prior notice. Did you hear it all? ”

"Clear!" I replied very decisively.

"Any questions?" The attending physician asked with some trepidation.

"Not yet." This time, I left room for my answer. Because if you don't find it now, it doesn't mean that there will always be no problems in the future.

"Well, so be it. If you have any doubts, then you can always ask me or my assistant (pointing to the two doctors in white coats behind me). With that, the attending physician left the room. Of course, like the other doctors, he took the usual attitude of ignoring the patients in the other two beds.
