Chapter 179: Moral Friendship
On the third day, Lu Yulin finally regained consciousness. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā
Dr. Mark brought Nurse Sophie to the ward rounds, and when he saw Aaron smoking at the door, he immediately stepped forward to pull out the cigarette from Aaron's mouth, threw it on the ground, and trampled it out with his foot.
"This is a hospital, and smoking is not allowed." Mark told Aaron with a grimace.
Aaron didn't sleep all night last night, his face was tired, and now he needed to take a few puffs of cigarettes to lift his spirits, seeing that Mark had stepped on his cigarette, he just wanted to get angry, but suddenly saw Mark with a serious face, pointed to the sign prohibiting smoking, and suppressed the fire, he understood that the doctor was the boss here, so he begged Mark to let him get over his addiction.
"Doctor Yang, I didn't sleep all night last night, let me smoke two puffs of cigarettes to wake up, okay? I don't smoke here in the ward, I go to the other end of the hallway, I go to the window there to take two puffs, it's okay. ”
Aaron didn't wait for Mark's answer, and hurried towards the end of the hallway.
Mark walked into the ward and saw that Lu Yulin's condition was basically stable, and he was even able to sit up, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and told Sophie to stand in the doorway and watch the wind, and if Aaron came over, cough.
Mark closed the door, and then examined Lu Yulin, he listened to Lu Yulin's heart with an earpiece, and then measured Lu Yulin's blood pressure and pulse.
"Mr. Ouyang, you look good today, did you sleep well last night?" Mark looked at Lu Yulin and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, the wound doesn't hurt that much anymore. Thank you, Dr. Mark, for giving me a blood transfusion. Although Lu Yulin's face was still pale, he obviously had some spirit today, and he learned from the nurse that Mark had given himself a blood transfusion, and he was very grateful to this blonde and blue-eyed foreign doctor.
"It's nothing, I'm a doctor, it's my responsibility to save lives. Thank God you are finally alive. Mr. Ouyang, you don't know, when you were first sent, I thought you were definitely going to enter the ghost gate. These executioners who kill people without blinking, they will definitely go to hell, and God will not spare them. ”
"I believe that." Lu Yulin smiled and nodded: "Doctor Mark, Ouyang Rui is just my pseudonym, my real name is Lu Yulin, there is no need to hide it from you now." ”
"Lu Yulin, I remember, no matter what your name is, you are a real hero in my heart."
Lu Yulin smiled embarrassedly: "Thank you, Mark." Hey, Mark, your Chinese is so good, how many years have you been in China? “
"My grandfather was an American missionary, and when he came to China as a missionary, he met my grandmother, a beautiful Chinese lady, and they went to the United States to get married. So I have a quarter of Chinese ancestry, I was raised by my grandmother, she taught me Chinese since I was a child, and told me a lot of stories about China, so I was very interested in China, and after graduating from medical school, I came to China to practice medicine. ”
"No wonder your Chinese is so good, it turns out that you still have Chinese blood in your body." Lu Yulin cast an approving look at Mark.
"Yes, I am proud that I am a quarter of the Chinese, when the Japanese launched the war of aggression against China, I was completely on the side of the Chinese, and our hospital admitted many civilians and Chinese ** people."
"Mark, thank you for your righteous work. The Chinese will surely remember the assistance provided by international friends to our war of resistance. ”
"Lu, you say that you see the outside, I have always regarded myself as a member of the Chinese, we are compatriots." Mark hurriedly corrected Lu Yulin, not as a foreigner, but as a compatriot.
"Yes, yes, I shouldn't treat you as an outsider, we are our own." Lu Yulin had a bright smile on his face, but this smile involved many nerves in his body, and Lu Yulin's face showed a painful expression.
"Lu, are you alright? Is the wound painful again? Mark saw that Lu Yulin's face had a look of pain, and hurriedly asked with concern.
"It's okay, Mark, it's a pleasure to talk to you." Lu Yulin held back the pain and still smiled at Mark.
"Lu, can you tell me your story?" Mark was curious about his Chinese friend.
"I am from Guangzhou, and many of my ancestors have been officials, and I am also a famous family in Guangzhou. My father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Guangzhou, and has done a lot of business, my mother is a local lady, and I have an older brother, but unfortunately he drowned when he was a minor, so I became an only child. Lu Yulin briefly introduced his family to Mark.
"Lu, you are a child of a rich family, so why are you also following these ** to do things that lose your head?" Mark thought that only the poor who did not have enough to eat would rise up and make a revolution.
"When the country is in danger, both rich and poor have the responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, our Lu family has been a good and loyal minister for generations, and we put the country's social welfare first, this is our Lu family's family style, we can't steal my life because I am an only son. Nor can I forget my loyalty and goodness because I was born rich. I still have no regrets about my choice. Lu Yulin's eyes showed a determined look.
"Lu, I admire you and your comrades very much, including Boss Chen, you are all heroes I admire." Mark was in awe of Lu Yulin and these people.
"Mark, you're also amazing, helping us through several difficult times, and without your help, our mission would have been difficult to complete." Thinking of Mark helping him get through danger several times, Lu Yulin cast a grateful look at Mark.
"I'm honored to be able to do my part for you."
Lu Yulin and Mark smiled knowingly.
Mark looked at Lu Yulin's left hand and asked cautiously, "Then look, when will we start pulling out the other four steel nails?" ”
Mark wanted to ask Lu Yulin's opinion, because he knew that it was an extremely painful process.
"Anytime." Lu Yulin looked at his immobile left hand: "Mark, I want to ask you, can my hand return to normal?" ”
Mark bowed his head and was silent, he didn't want to lie and deceive Lu Yulin, but he couldn't bear to tell the truth and make his friend sad.
"Mark, you treat me as a friend, you should tell me the truth, is my hand useless?" When Yu Lin said the word "abolished", he felt sad in his heart, but he still wanted to hear the judgment of the authoritative doctor.
Mark raised his head: "Lu, I'm really not sure about this, I haven't encountered such a case before, I have encountered a broken finger, a deformed finger, I can connect the broken finger, and then the finger function can be restored to the previous seventy or eighty percent, but a situation like yours, I still encounter it for the first time, I have to pull out the steel nail first, and take a light film to make a judgment, I don't know if your left finger is fractured." But from the doctor's point of view, Lu, don't be too sad after you hear it, it is difficult for your left hand to return to its previous state. I'll do my best to keep your hand, though. ”
After hearing this, Lu Yulin sighed, and then nodded: "Mark, then you can help me pull out these four steel nails as soon as possible." I'm afraid that the more I go, the more these fingers will die. ”
"Yes, I want to do it as soon as possible, but it depends on your physical condition, you have to be mentally prepared, this is no less painful than when you drive a steel nail into it." Mark gave Lu Yulin a preventive shot first, so that he was a little mentally prepared.
"Did I scare you that day, you prepared a towel for me, I didn't make a sound this time." Lu Yulin remembered that day when Mark pulled out the steel nail on his middle finger, he couldn't help screaming.
"No, no, to be honest, few people can bear this kind of pain, you are the one among the Chinese." Mark gave Lu Yulin a thumbs up: "I will increase the dose of anesthetic this time." ”
"Dr. Mark, let me ask, if this anesthetic is injected too much, will it affect the brain?" Lu Yulin once heard people say that too much anesthetic will make people's memory decline and become sluggish, he is afraid that his brain will be damaged, because he has been boiling for a few days, his mind is often blank, and the pain on the ** makes him unable to concentrate on thinking, so far, he has not figured out how to pass on those pieces of information, he is very anxious, afraid that the information he has worked so hard to get will lose its value because he can't send it.
"There will be some impact, but it will be negligible compared to the pain you are going to suffer."
"Doctor, my brain can't be affected, can I choose not to take anesthetics?" Lu Yulin was afraid that the anesthetic would have an adverse effect on the brain, so he proposed not to take the anesthetic.
"Don't take anesthetics? No, no, no, it's not going to work, you're going to die. Mark's blue eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Yulin in surprise, no one has ever wanted to have surgery without anesthetic: "Actually, the reason why you don't feel so much pain in the past two days is because I injected you with morphine." Without morphine, you won't be able to sleep for a minute. ”
"Thank you, Mark, I know you're doing it for my good, to ease my pain a little, but, Mark, since I'm alive, I still have a lot of work to do, and I can't let my brain suffer."
"Well, I'll reduce some of the anesthetic dose. To be honest, Lu, if you don't use anesthetics at all, I don't dare to do it, I believe in your willpower, but I don't believe that your body can withstand it. Mark came up with a compromise.
Lu Yulin nodded: "Okay, Dr. Mark, just follow your plan." “
Aaron finished his cigarette addiction and walked over, and Sophie coughed.
Mark instructed Sophie to prepare for the operation, and in view of the serious injuries on Lu Yulin's body, it was not suitable to move, and there was no need for special medical equipment to pull out the nails, so the operation was arranged in the ward.
Mark walked out of the room and beckoned to Aaron, who walked over.
"I'm going to pull out the nails for Mr. Lu now, this operation has certain risks, do you need to come in together to supervise the whole operation?"
Ah Long thought for a while and nodded: "Doctor Yang, we said that we must ensure that Lu Yulin is alive, do you understand?" ”
"I do my best."
Mark subtracted half of the original anesthetic dose and gave Lu Yulin a local injection.
"When the dose of anesthetic is reduced, the anesthesia will be shortened, and you will feel a lot of pain later." Mark looked at Lu Yulin worriedly.
Lu Yulin nodded: "Mark, give me the towel, let's start now." ”
Lu Yulin took the towel handed over by Mark with his right hand, bit it tightly with his teeth, and put his left hand on the side of the bed, his finger wounds had begun to scab, and it would be more painful to pull it out. Mark picked up the pliers and just touched Lu Yulin's fingers, and Lu Yulin instinctively shook it. Mark stopped his hand, and Lu Yulin motioned for him to continue pulling it out with his eyes. Mark gritted his teeth, clamped the steel nail on his index finger with pliers, and pulled it out hard, the steel nail detached from his fingers along with the flesh, Lu Yulin's eyes bulged, his teeth clenched the towel, his nose made a humming sound, and beads of sweat like soybeans oozed from his forehead.
"Let's take a break." Seeing Lu Yulin's painful expression, Mark hurriedly stopped.
Lu Yulin shook his head and motioned for Mark to continue. Mark also knew that no matter how long he rested, this severe pain was inevitable, not to mention that the effect of the anesthetic was limited, and the long pain was better than the short pain, so he pulled out all four steel nails at once.
Ah Long stood aside and observed the whole process of the operation, when each bloody steel nail was pulled out of Lu Yulin's fingers, his heart was also beating wildly, these steel nails were all nailed into Lu Yulin's fingers one by one, and now they were pulled out one by one, Ah Long couldn't help but look at his fingers, comparing his heart to his heart, Ah Long's heart was trembling. Although Lu Yulin was in pain, he always refused to give in and stuck to his secret, which made Ah Long admire Lu Yulin from the bottom of his heart.
Lu Yulin felt a heart-rending pain transmitted from his fingers to his body, causing him to the bone marrow. He tilted his head and collapsed on the bed, his left hand twitching........
Lu Yulin hallucinated in front of his eyes, and saw his son Ming'er running towards him: "Dad, Dad." ”
"Ming'er, Ming'er. Daddy is here. Lu Yulin ran towards his son, and his son ran towards him, and Shuxian stood in the distance and looked at the father and son.
Suddenly, Zhu Hongda, Ah Qiang, and Ah Long appear in the middle of him and his son, blocking him and Ming'er. Naruto is still running forward.
"Ming'er, don't come, don't come, go, go." Yu Lin shouted loudly at Ming'er.
But Ming'er still ran towards him, and Zhu Hongda held his gun and aimed at Ming'er.
"Bang." A gunshot rang out.
"Naruto ......"
