Chapter 26 Be sure to read the signs when you see a doctor

"Chen Xiaoting." The nurse pushed the door open and walked in, calling my name.

I promised, "Yes." ”

"Take a blood sample." As she spoke, she walked up to me with a slender needle.

It's not that I'm afraid of pain and injections, but with such a long needle and such a long needle, this is how much blood to draw, and of course, I am not faint.

"Scared?" The nurse said to me with a soft smile.

"I'm not afraid." I pretended to smile calmly, but I could feel the flesh on my face twitching from laughing.

"Then what are you shaking, relax, don't be so tight, the muscles are out, how to draw blood, relax, it'll be fine for a while." She is like a big sister who coaxes children in kindergarten, and she speaks very gently.

Suddenly felt that his face was very hot, and he lowered his head in shame.

"Okay, you press it yourself, wait until it doesn't bleed, and that's it."

"Oh." He didn't dare to raise his head in agreement.

The nurse handed me a few slips and said, "In a moment, go to the first floor, go inside on the right side of the hall, and go to the CT scan room for an examination." ”

He took the order, put on a coat, and told the four guys, "You guys are here, don't run around, I'll be back in a while." After saying that, I closed the door, turned around, and felt dizzy, on the third day, my stomach was empty, I hadn't eaten anything, I just drank a few bottles of water, and I quickly finished the checkup, and I wanted to eat a full meal.

When I came to the first floor, I happened to bump into Dr. Li, he was holding a bunch of documents, looking very hurried, beckoning me to go to the CT room, and said: "Today, I will do a heavy examination and scan of your brain, mainly to see what the black spot is, whether there is any lesion, take this list, after the examination, go up to the neurology department on the fourth floor, and find Dr. Zhang." ”

After receiving the order, Dr. Li did not stop and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

The CT room pushed open the closed door, as if in a heavy mood of entering the execution ground, stepped in, and according to the doctor's instructions, lay straight on the scanning table, not knowing what kind of sentence would be pronounced on me next.

After the scan, the brain went blank, and I walked to the fourth floor with trepidation, maybe this is the psychology of the patient, especially people like me, who have a hole in their head, although they keep comforting themselves, but the more comforting, the more pessimistic they are.

I feel that I must have an incurable disease.

In a trance, I walked to the fourth floor, and in the neurology department, I stopped in front of the door, and mechanically pushed the door open, and the door creaked and was pushed open.

An old doctor in a white coat, sitting at the desk, presumably he was Dr. Zhang, he turned to me, raised his head, did not stop writing pen in his hand, and said to me lightly: "Come in." ”

As if by his words, I pushed in, walked in, and put the list in my hand on his desk.

Dr. Zhang picked up my list, stared at it carefully, page by page, and then put on his glasses, leaned forward, supported his chin with his left hand, and pointed at the computer with a mouse in his right hand, with a very solemn expression, staring at the computer for more than a minute.

In the crowded and noisy hospital, only in this office, lifeless and quiet, I was nervous, my hands clutched at the corners of my clothes, not knowing what he would say to me next.

After a long time, he glanced at me, and seemed to see that I was nervous, and in order to relax me, he said in a soothing voice: "Don't be nervous, young man." He guided me, looked at the computer and said, "This is the CT picture you just took, through the tomography scan image, there is indeed a black spot on your right brain, but there is no sign of deterioration, the preliminary judgment is not an early tumor, more like a penetrating wound, have you suffered any injuries before, such as hitting your head, or what hard object, has it been pierced in your head?" ”

I thought about it for a while and said, "Hard objects have never been stuck in my head, but when I was playing basketball, I was often hit on the head, and I also fell and hit my head, but I didn't fall out of my head." ”

Dr. Zhang waved his hand: "Minor injuries don't count, have you ever experienced it, the kind that causes a coma due to a violent impact, because the violent impact usually causes some objects to pierce into the head, such as nails, broken glass, tree branches and the like exposed outside the wooden board." ”

"The time I was struck by lightning was the first time in my life that I fell into a coma." I replied firmly.

Dr. Zhang pondered for a while and said, "Well, there will be experts in the afternoon, through online consultation, to determine your condition, now I will check your central nervous system and left brain, and see if your vision, hearing, language and other directions have been affected." ”

I nodded sheepishly. I saw Dr. Zhang pick up a piece of paper from the table, hand it to me, and said, "Come, read the above words, and see if there is any problem with your language ability." ”

took the paper in his hand, and when he saw what was written on it, he felt a little inexplicable, is this okay, but looking at his face, serious and serious expression, maybe, after all, it is the first time to be hospitalized, where do you know so much.

I also wanted to know if I had any language barriers, so I cleared my throat, pronounced the words clearly, and read aloud in a loud voice: "The flat arm is long, the bench is wide, the flat arm is not as wide as the bench, the bench is not as long as the flat arm...."

After reading it, when I saw Dr. Zhang, I shook my head gently with not very satisfaction, is my pronunciation wrong? Where did I read it wrong?

He picked up another piece of paper, handed it to me and said, "Here, read this, I'm trying." ”

I took it and saw the content above, a little difficult, since elementary school, reading the text is all humming and chirping, because I feel that reading the text, and the effect of the lullaby is the same, so awkward, can you really read it well: "Si Xiaosi bought forty-four catties and four taels of tomatoes, and Shi Xiaoshi bought fourteen catties and four taels of fine silk..."

Dr. Zhang shook his head again and again and said, "This speed is not good, the test can't be done, so I can read it faster." ”

He took a deep breath and read it again: "Si Xiaosi bought forty-four catties and four taels of tomatoes..."

Dr. Zhang said disappointedly, "Tsk, it seems that there is a language impairment, so I am reading faster." ”

"Si Xiaosi bought forty-four..."

"No, it's faster."

"Si Xiaosi: Ah. "I rolled my bitten tongue and covered my cheeks, and when I was a child, I never read texts so clearly.

Dr. Zhang looked at me, stretched his brows and laughed: "Hahaha, young man, it's real, I'm kidding you, how can you use a tongue twister to see a doctor, but for some special patients, this can be exercised..."

Seeing my black-lined expression, the old doctor stopped, sat up straight, handed me a piece of paper and said, "This is your examination." ”

After taking the blank paper, I didn't speak, stood up silently, retreated to the door, opened my eyes wide, looked carefully and looked, the sign on the door was indeed a neurology department, not a psychiatric department, I was not wrong.

Looking at the old doctor in the room, he looked at me with a straight face, as if telling me that it was right to joke twice before, but this time it was true.

I walked back and sat down straight, my throat was dry, my lips were tight, I raised the paper in my hand, and read word by word according to the words written on it: "Black ash fertilizer ash will volatilize and gray..."

"Poof, hahaha... Oops, it's been a long time since I've seen you as a lovely child. ”

Completely fooled by him, I only felt that my head was covered with dark clouds, and I rubbed the paper in my hand hatefully, and when I came in, I saw that you kept writing, all writing tongue twisters, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Uncle, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity recently, you have a lot of fun." ”

Dr. Zhang tried hard, suppressed his happiness, and said, "Don't get excited, although I made a little joke with you, but this is also a test of mine, just a preliminary test of your language function and emotional control, well, not bad." ”

"How do you want to play during the in-depth test? Let me use my teeth to pull the truck, or hang the lead ball on my tongue, this is a hospital, or a whole tribe. ”

Like an old naughty boy, Dr. Zhang waved his hand and said, "Those are all stunts, you are not bad, after a series of tests, the central nervous system of the brain has not been affected, and the language and thinking logic are clear." ”

I really don't know, if you're trying to have fun, or if you're serious, you can't get angry if you want to.

The old doctor picked up the pen and wrote something on the list, and it was certain that this time it was not a tongue twister, because I couldn't read a word.

He handed it to me and said gently, "Go out, turn left, three offices apart, otolaryngology, let the doctor check your vision and hearing." ”

I took the list with some jealousy and asked, "I guess I'm not reading a tongue twister." ”

As if nothing had happened, he said solemnly: "How can it be a tongue twister, the examination of patients depends on formal and systematic medicine." ”

Then don't take tongue twisters, play with patients, so happy, okay?
