I slept late last night, and I was already at the gate of the hospital, and Ruyi was still yawning.

"Let's go!" "Let's go!"

Ruyi only felt that his elbow was rubbed, and several people carrying stretchers had slid past him and rushed to the emergency room.

Ruyi was stunned for only a second, and then ran forward quickly.

What's the situation? Dr. Li, who was on duty, succinctly asked about the patient's medical history when he picked up the patient.

"Suddenly fainted."

Dr. Li and his family worked together to put the patient on the emergency bed, and while touching the carotid artery, he made a verbal will: "Give oxygen, establish intravenous access!" ”

Monitor—"

"It's coming!" Ruyi quickly connected the monitor properly.

Nurse report: blood pressure is not measured, heartbeat is gone! ”

Ruyi looked nervously at Dr. Li.

Dr. Lee immediately gave heart compressions: "One milligram of epinephrine - prepare for endotracheal intubation!" ”

"How's it going?" The director ran over while wearing his work clothes, and he glanced at the patient: "This, isn't it the old director?" ”

Dr. Li just glanced at the old man lying on the emergency bed, and did not stop the pressing action in his hand: "I feel a little familiar - the blood oxygen saturation has not risen yet, do you want to be intubated?" ”

The director glanced at the family members next to him: "Are you—"

"I'm his nephew, and he happened to be a guest at my house......"

"Did he have any special explanations when he became ill?" “

"No—just told us to leave him alone."

The director motioned to Dr. Lee, "Stop! ”

"But...... But ......" Dr. Li looked helplessly at the ECG monitor's display as it recovered.

The director looked at the former director lying on the rescue bed with a heavy heart: "He has signed a consent form to give up the rescue." ”

"What?" The family members next to them didn't believe it, "How did we not know?" ”“

"His son knows."

"This ......" the family members looked at the old man lying helplessly on the rescue table, "isn't this a death that cannot be saved?" ”

Dr. Li also looked at the director with a puzzled look.

"We want to respect his own wishes." The director took out the phone and dialed it skillfully, "...... I'm your father, he's in our hospital, I'm afraid it won't work...... Well...... You're coming right away? Good! ”

The director turned back to the nurse and said, "Leave only the ECG monitor and fluids, and don't take other first aid measures." ”

Dr. Xie also went to work, put on his work clothes and went straight to the rescue bedside.

Almost all the other medical staff in the emergency department gathered here, and everyone consciously gathered in a circle, quietly surrounding the emergency bed.

Looking at the chaotic ECG curves on the ECG monitor screen, tears welled up in the corners of Dr. Xie's eyes.

"Shifts?" The night nurse whispered.

"Deliver!" The director said calmly, "Just hand it over here, let the old director participate in the handover of our department for the last time." ”

"May 21, 2014 Emergency Department Night Shift ......" The night nurse's crisp voice echoed low in the emergency room.

The ECG curve of the ECG monitor is shown as a continuous wavy line.

“…… Yesterday, 4 patients were rescued throughout the day, 4 people were successfully rescued, and the death toll was 0......"

After the shift is completed, the fine wavy lines on the ECG monitor gradually flatten out, and finally form a straight line.

The old director's thin face was a silent dead gray.

The head nurse gently unplugged the infusion tube for the old man and removed the ECG monitor.

The Director carefully covered the Director's head with a white sheet.

All the medical staff followed the director and bowed three times to the former director.

When he raised his head again, the director seemed to suddenly be much older, and he waved his hand to everyone tiredly: "Let's do things." ”

"Have you completed the admission procedures for the three-bed hospital?"

"A bed needs a skull CT"

"The patient who came back last night needed to be debrided and sutured."

“……"

Although everyone was in a heavy mood, they had to continue their daily work.

The family members were busy talking on the phone in the corridor, and the director sat alone beside the emergency bed, quietly waiting for the funeral home car to arrive.

Ruyi silently walked over and sat down next to the director.

The director glanced at Ruyi lightly, and then focused on the old director lying on the rescue table.

“…… Four years ago, when the director was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he signed a letter of intent not to be resuscitated at the end of his life...... He has not intervened with medication to develop the disease.... ”

The director seemed to know what Ruyi was thinking, and said in a whisper.

“…… Why? Ruyi's voice was so small that only he could hear it.

"He has lived with dignity all his life, and he has to go with dignity."

Ruyi opened her mouth and finally didn't say anything.

"Uncle-" The old director's son hurried over and shook the director's hand, "Thank you." ”

"It should." The director asked with concern, "Is it arranged?" ”

The old director's son nodded: "The last clothes to wear are all prepared by my father in advance, he said that he likes to go quietly, and he is not allowed to have a farewell ceremony or anything, so a few close relatives go to the funeral home to see him off for the last time." ”

"That—" the director muttered for a moment, "I'll send him off!" ”

"I have a heart!" The old director's son bowed deeply to the director, "Thank you, uncle!" ”

Dr. Xie, who had been paying attention to this matter, came over: "I'll go too!" ”

The director hesitated: "...... you are on duty today"

"Dr. Li still stayed in the department and didn't go back, and he helped me carry it."

"I'm also going to send the old director on the last ride." The head nurse said to the director, "Corey's affairs have been arranged, don't worry." ”

"And me! Although I haven't met the old director before, I've heard a lot about him, let me go! ** smiled flatteringly at the head nurse, "I was on the night shift last night, and I should have rested today." ”

"I'm going to drive." The director took off his white coat and quickly walked out.

"Help me put my overalls back at the nurse's station!" The head nurse takes off her work clothes and hands them to **.

"What are you doing?" Dr. Xie unbuttoned his white coat and said to Ruyi, who was staring at them blankly, "Hurry up if you want to go, there is still a place!" ”

The coffin of the old director was parked in the No. 3 farewell hall of the funeral home, and the family members who arrived early had already linked the VCR that had been prepared to the monitor above the farewell hall.

Accompanied by the sound of soothing music, the old photos of the old director were played slowly from young to large according to age.

Ruyi sat down next to Dr. Xie.

People kept joining in the hall, and everyone's footsteps were gentle, for fear of disturbing the director's sleep.

At the end of the VCR, there was the speech of the old director.

The old director looked at everyone with a smile, "According to statistics, I am very lucky to live to this age, I hope you will say goodbye to me with a smile." ”

The hall was so quiet that even the sound of each other's breathing could be heard, and almost all eyes were fixed on the monitors on the wall.

"I'm going to walk handsomely, am I handsome?" The old director stroked back the gray hair on his head with satisfaction, "I think I'm pretty handsome!" The bad old man in the mirror is definitely not me! ”

There was a smile in everyone's eyes.

"Doesn't it seem like there's a concluding remark?" The old director thought for a moment, and said in a low voice, "When I look back on the past, I won't be ashamed of doing nothing...... The old director looked at the camera mischievously and whispered: "Because I resolutely don't admit that I have done nothing!" ”

There was a slight laughter in the hall.

"I won't regret wasting my time! Am I wasting my time? The old director pretended to think, "No, right?" Absolutely nothing! Case records can prove it. The old director was a little proud.

"Well, if I had to ask me what I regretted, it would be that I couldn't see anyone again. However, it doesn't matter, I still have a lot of disciples and grandchildren! The old director imitated Sun Wukong's tone, "Children, although I am gone, you still can't mess around." ”

Everyone looked at him with smiles.

"There is another very important sentence, which I couldn't say before, but now I must be brave enough to say it!" The old director's expression gradually became stricter, "Son, Dad loves you!" ”

The old director narrowed his eyes: "When you were a child, you often said that your father didn't love you, the reason was that he didn't pick you up and drop you off every day, didn't go to kindergarten to participate in parent-child activities, didn't go to school for parent-teacher conferences, and didn't accompany you on a trip...... It's true that Dad is sorry for you. ”

Dad was speechless.

"So when you firmly said that you would never be a doctor when you grew up, Dad was speechless."

"But, son, you have to believe that Dad loves you and loves you all the time."

Sobbs were remembered in the hall.

The old director's eyes were so soft and soft: "Although you are already very good-you find the job yourself, and you earn the money to buy a house...... You don't need to rely on Dad at all, Dad still wants to say that you will always be Daddy's baby, and Dad is proud of you! ”

"Dad, the only person in this life who can't stand you is you. What Dad wants to say is that Dad is your dad and a doctor, although Dad owes you, but Dad has saved a lot of dying lives, I hope you don't hate Dad. ”

"If there really is an afterlife, son, will you still be my son?"

A white tissue was handed to Ruyi's eyes.

Ruyi raised her hazy teary eyes: Chu Yunchuan, who was sitting next to her, stretched out the tissue in front of her eyes again.

"Thank you." Ruyi took the tissue, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay. Thank you for coming to see him off too. Liu Qian, who was sitting next to Chu Yunchuan, said understandingly, "We came a little late, and I didn't bother you when I saw that you were looking at the VCR very seriously." Scared you, didn't you? ”

"No, just a bit of an accident."

"Teacher Chu, do you and Teacher Liu know the old director?"

Ruyi asked this sentence not without reason, the hospital is too big, and if there is no business dealings, it is impossible for many employees to know each other.

"You don't have to know him to send him." Chu Yunchuan pointed behind him, "Many young people here don't know the old director. ”

Ruyi turned around, only to find that the back was already full of people at some point, and most of them were faces that he had seen in the hospital.

"When Liu Qian entered the hospital, the old director had already retired. I once spent a year in the emergency department, and I admired the old director's personality - he had never received a red envelope from a patient after working for decades, and when he encountered an emergency patient who had no money, he had to give money to others. ”

Chu Yunchuan pointed to the photo of the old director on the monitor that had been switched to the replay state: "Just like he said just now, he can't even afford to buy a commercial house after working all his life, and the house he lives in now was bought by his son with money - he is a real tough guy!" ”
