Chapter 15: The Strange Patient
Mei Lan hurried to the hospital, and just entered the rehabilitation center at the back, she saw a middle-aged female nurse in her forties wearing a nurse's uniform pushing a cart of medicine out of a ward.
This is the head nurse Liu who called Mei Lan, and Mei Lan hurriedly stopped to say hello.
"You're here, don't you know, this morning a big sedan chair from the airport overturned, there were more than 50 patients in the hospital at once, busy to death, there are only two female patients, both in their thirties, broken legs, it seems that the conditions are good, proposed to live in a VIP ward, but how can we have a VIP ward in this small hospital? I only promised to find a good caregiver for them. Nurse Liu said as she pushed the cart forward.
"Huh? Did anyone die then? When Mei Lan heard this kind of news, she naturally became concerned.
After all, human lives matter.
"Why not? Two died, and a few still haven't been out of the operating room, and the CPU ward is full. ”
While talking, a few doctors and nurses pushed an operating table over, and the head nurse Liu had to throw Mei Lan down first, and followed into the ward to settle the patient, Mei Lan glanced at the patient on the bed, his head was wrapped in gauze, which looked much bigger than the head of ordinary people, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly, and it seemed that the injury was very serious, because the person had not yet recovered his consciousness.
Mei Lan stood in the corridor waiting for the free, there was a patient I knew before who pushed a wheelchair by himself, and when he saw Mei Lan, he seemed very happy, and asked with a smile: "Alain, you are here again, where are you admitted to the university?" ”
"Beijing's R University, Aunt Wang, your legs are not well? I'm here to help you. ”
"The little girl is really capable, hey, I want to have a well-behaved and sensible daughter like you, and she will wake up with a smile when she sleeps, your mother is really blessed."
"How can an aunt boast so well, our countrymen are also forced out." Mei Lan laughed as she pushed Aunt Wang into her hospital room.
This Aunt Wang has always been taken care of by her daughter, and when her daughter left for something, she took her to the toilet again, and after such a delay, when Meilan went to see Nurse Liu again, there were already two familiar nurses standing next to Nurse Liu.
"Huh, where have you been? I thought you didn't do it, and introduced the work of those two women to them, and now there are still a few men who haven't found a nurse, can you do it? ”
"Male?" Merlin hesitated.
She has never served a man when she came to the hospital to work as a nurse, how can this man serve? She's still a big girl, huh?
"Well, come with me." Nurse Liu pulled Mei Lan aside, and then said: "A young man who doesn't know anything about the personnel has been sent to this ward, and he has already contacted his family, saying that he is in the United States, but I am afraid that he will have to rush back tomorrow afternoon, it is better for you to take over his work first, what about the Americans, the tip will be indispensable to you, at most you can find the old nurse on duty to help you with urine or something, ah?" ”
"That's not good, is it?" Mei Lan was still a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, I'm on night duty tonight, I'll help you if you have something tonight, maybe someone will wake up tomorrow, you just help him into the bathroom." Nurse Liu really wanted to help Mei Lan.
If an eighteen-year-old girl wasn't really short of money, who would do this? Besides, Mei Lan has a good reputation for more than a month, such a young and beautiful girl can do this, this character is trustworthy in the first place.
"This young man is estimated to have to lose a night's fluid, and it really can't be done without a nurse to watch, and the nurse on duty can't just be busy for him, and there are other dangerous patients in the CPU, and there is no place to spare it." Head Nurse Liu explained a few more words.
"Okay."
Everyone has said it to this point, and Mei Lan has to reluctantly agree.
"That's right, do a good job, serve the patients well, and your benefits are indispensable." Nurse Liu patted Mei Lan on the shoulder and led Mei Lan into the ward.
Coincidentally, it was the big-headed man that Mei Lan saw just now, this time standing in front of him and taking a closer look, although his facial features were a little deformed, he didn't look very old, and he should look good, like a good person.
Although Mei Lan is not a face control, she has always been evasive when she sees those men who are dressed up with sleek eyebrows.
This is a double room, and the patient next to it is a woman in her fifties, Mei Lan looks much more at ease, she is really a little afraid to be alone with two men in the same room.
Nurse Liu instructed Mei Lan to get busy after a few words, Mei Lan looked at this hot day, the patient had just come out of the operating room, I was afraid that the sticky body must be uncomfortable, just about to take a basin to fetch water for him to clean it, but found that the patient had nothing, Mei Lan had to pay out of his own pocket to buy him some daily necessities, and when he came back, he scrubbed his body, only to find the sign hanging on the hospital bed, the patient's name is Cai Ganlin, 26 years old.
Mei Lan didn't dare to sleep this night, the patient's infusion was one reason, and the other reason could be that the effect of the anesthetic gradually subsided, and the patient kept babbling, Mei Lan put her ear to his mouth and listened to it for a long time, as if she was either shouting or shouting to kill, presumably it was a nightmare, Mei Lan had to knead him while humming a lullaby to coax him.
The patient woke up at three o'clock in the morning, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Mei Lan for the first time, his eyes were full of horror and puzzlement, and he fainted again, and Mei Lan called the doctor and nurse.
After a busy examination, the ward was quiet again, and after a while, Cai Ganlin's liquid had been transfused, and Mei Lan was also sleepy, lying on the head of the bed and falling asleep.
When Mei Lan woke up, it was already dark, she slowly stretched, and just looked at the patient, but suddenly found that Cai Ganlin was studying her with a pair of amber eyes.
"Hey, you're awake, my name is Alain, and I became your nurse without your consent, are you feeling better now? I'll call the doctor for you. Mei Lan said a lot, but the other party did not react.
Mei Lan stretched out her hand to probe Cai Ganlin's forehead, the other party moved his hand, and it didn't seem to be raised, Mei Lan had already retracted her hand quickly at this time, touched her forehead, and said to herself: "It seems that the temperature is quite high, shouldn't it be burned?" ”
Merlin rang the bedside call bell as she spoke, and after a while the nurse came in, and Merlin retreated to the back.
The nurse took her temperature and called the doctor, but strangely, neither the doctor nor the nurse came, and the patient did not speak.
"Isn't that strange? Could it be that he is a mute? Mei Lan said another sentence to herself, and the other party's eyes looked at her sharply, and Mei Lan couldn't help but shudder.
"What the hell." Merlin muttered again.
After the doctor and nurse left, Cai Ganlin moved and wanted to get up by himself, but found that his body was not able to move, and one foot was still hanging with a bandage.
Mei Lan has been a nurse for a month, and she already has experience, and she knows that the other party wants to be convenient, but the other party just doesn't speak, and she holds it for about a quarter of an hour, Mei Lan can't help but surrender first.
"Are you going to make it easier?"
The other party raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
It's over, not only is he dumb, but I'm still mentally retarded.
"That's it, shhh
Cai Ganlin blinked.
Mei Lan looked at one of his broken legs, and then looked at his huge head, she didn't know if his body could move, but she remembered the doctor's instructions, try not to let him move, to avoid the sequelae of the concussion,
Mei Lan had to bend down and take out a spittoon from under the bed, put it under him, and put a quilt on him, and walked away.
After a while, Mei Lan looked back at him and seemed to be a little more relaxed, so she walked over, poured the spittoon for him, wiped his face and body with a towel, and then sat down on the edge of the bed again.
Fortunately, the patient had just had head surgery and didn't need to eat, Mei Lan had just finished wiping it for him, and the mobile phone rang in the pocket of the clothes hanging at the head of the bed, Mei Lan took it for him, and when he saw that the words on it were old sisters, he pressed the answer button and put it to his ear, but this Cai Ganlin still did not speak.
"Hey, hello, I'm your brother's nurse, he hasn't spoken since he woke up in the morning, and the doctor said it's okay." Mei Lan had no choice but to overstep her bounds.
"I just arrived at Beijing Airport and plan to fly over directly, please leave it to you during this time."
"Okay." Mei Lan hung up the phone and found that Cai Ganlin was still studying her.
It's over, this person's brain is really broken, it's a pity that these eyes are broken.
Mei Lan scolded a few words, thought about it, and said, "Your sister said that she has already arrived in Beijing, and she will probably arrive at noon today." ”
Cai Ganlin didn't react when he heard this, and closed his eyes.
Mei Lan didn't bother to talk to him when she saw him like this, just when the nurse came in to give him an infusion.
Two hours later, when Mei Lan was burying her head in the stocks, she suddenly heard a slight humming sound and hurriedly looked up at Cai Ganlin.
Mei Lan looked at the expression on his face, it seemed to be very painful, and then touched his forehead, damp, thinking that this was his anesthetic ineffective, and this would be the time when the pain was terrible.
Mei Lan went to fetch some hot water again, first wiped his body for him, and then kneaded it for him, talking to him while rubbing it, trying to distract him.
"Are you Chinese or Chinese-American? Do you not understand Chinese or do you not speak Chinese? ”
Didn't answer her.
"Are you traveling to Jinggangshan alone? I grew up around here, so when you're better, why don't you hire me as your guide? Let me tell you, although I don't have a tour guide certificate, I am no worse than others as a tour guide. ”
Still didn't answer her.
"Your sister seems to be very good to you, she rushed from the United States overnight as soon as she heard your news yesterday, how many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?"
Mei Lan is just such a person, and it doesn't matter if this person understands or not.
"By the way, I remembered, you're not dumb, you kept talking in your dreams last night, as if you were talking about beating and killing, what kind of profession do you have?"
As soon as Mei Lan finished asking, as soon as Cai Ganlin raised his hand, Mei Lan didn't see how his hand moved, and he was pushed to the ground in a puff of anger.
