Chapter XXXVII
"Don't get excited, it's broad daylight, I'm afraid of a ghost."
Zhao Banxian whispered to me: "I'll tell you, this kind of guest is the big one, at first glance, he is a rich person, and the money cannot be collected less, and he can be slaughtered." ”
I nodded, thoughtfully, really, there is a treasure in the family.
So, I sat down in the store as if nothing happened, poured a glass of water for this Xu Taozhuo, and asked her casually: "Excuse me, is there anything strange about your dream?" ”
She nodded and said, "This matter, I started half a month ago, I did retinal correction surgery, but a while ago, after giving someone an operation, something strange happened. ”
"Strange things?" I continued to ask.
Her specialty is one of the hottest in medicine at the moment.
Because in addition to traditional medicine, internal medicine and surgery, otolaryngology, there are two emerging medical specialties, one is cosmetic surgery, and the other is retinal correction surgery.
Beauty aside, everyone knows that retinal correction surgery.
Nowadays, there are more people who wear glasses, because they have lost their eyes after reading for more than ten years, many people are nearsighted, so they go for laser surgery to correct their eyesight.
She said: "That afternoon, I underwent a single retinal correction surgery, it was a handsome man, big eyes, more than 300 degrees of myopia, his eyes are very beautiful, you know, like wearing contact lenses, it is as pure as a jewel, it is a very beautiful eye, but an accident happened."
I asked: Accidental? Is it medical malpractice?
Xu Taozhuo looked at me in surprise and said, "It's a medical accident, at that time, I used an eye expander to stretch his upper and lower eyelids open, revealing the complete outline of the eyeball, by the way, do you know what an eye expander is?" ”
She described it to me.
It is a special aid that opens the upper and lower eyelids, because the human instinct is to close the eyes when they are in danger, which is to prevent this conditioned reflex.
Xu Taozhuo introduced me seriously and continued.
"His eyelids are thin, maybe he has had surgery to open the corner of the eye, or maybe we forgot to check the eye expander, anyway, as soon as the eye expander was installed, his upper and lower eyelids bleed instantly, and the eyelids were almost burst, and a large piece of blood flowed into the eye socket, he lay on the operating table and struggled, screaming and frightened"
Judging from the picture she described, the picture of the operation must have been very anxious at that time.
Xu Taozhuo said calmly: "At that time, I asked him not to move but he was still moving, he was nervous, do you know the whole eyeball?" His entire eyeball fell out of the open eyelid and connected to the extraocular muscles, like two big white balls hanging from a rope. ”
I was silent.
Zhao Banxian next to him walked silently to the door.
She spread out her palms and calmly introduced to me: "Actually, people's eyes can fall off, and the eyeballs can still move freely, and the eyeballs can still see things with the 'extraocular muscles' stretched out of the eyes, so he was still screaming and struggling frantically with energy, and the two eyeballs were like alien tentacles, hanging on his face and shaking back and forth."
When Miao Qianqian heard this, she also consciously left.
I also think it's a little scary, in fact, someone has told me before that people sometimes sneeze, if it's too violent, the eyeballs will fall out, but don't panic at that time, grab the eyeballs, and quickly stuff them back is fine, because there is a muscular nerve connected to the back of the human eyeball, called the extraocular muscle.
Actually, such things are only a minority.
Because, people have self-protection function, I don't know if anyone has noticed, in fact, when people sneeze, their eyelids will reflexively close automatically, which is to prevent the eyeballs from squirting out
But her description on the operating table made me feel a little infiltrated.
So, I said, "Well, Dr. Xu, can you please not describe it in such detail, but briefly summarize it?" ”
"Are you scared?" She asked me.
I nodded and asked her if she wasn't afraid.
She showed a professional smile and explained to me very politely: "I'm not afraid, in fact, there is a threshold for human terror, that is, the upper limit of pressure, in simple words, you won't be afraid if you see too much, it's normal to do what we do, those so-called corpses, no matter how miserable, no matter how terrifying and terrifying, that's it." ”
I couldn't speak, and the beautiful female doctor's perspective was more professional than mine, so I had to let her continue.
Xu Taozhuo exhaled and continued: "In that medical accident, his eyelids were broken by the eye expander, and during the struggle, his eyeballs fell off. It could have been fine, but he was still struggling, a big man was struggling on the operating table, and the nurse and I had a hard time holding it down, and when we dealt with him who was struggling frantically, his eyes were already blind, and he returned to his socket with an eye infection, and then his head was also infected, and he died in the hospital bed a few days later. ”
I asked her, "So, you have a psychological shadow?" Something strange happened and started having nightmares? ”
She said: It's not strange, it's terrifying.
I waited for her to say.
"Can I smoke here?"
She suddenly looked at the no-smoking sign in the tattoo parlor.
I nodded, and I could see that the beautiful lady doctor was not at peace, that there were no tattoos of any guests, and that it was okay to smoke.
"Thank you."
She lit a coquette, a lady's cigarette, and the smell was very light, and she sat on the chair hunched over, bowed her head and swallowed skillfully, and said, "It's the man who did the operation, and he has come to me for revenge." Every time I dream, I dream that there is a thin human figure that seems to be tearing out its own eyeballs and pulling it out, and it is still very hard. ”
I asked, is that the man?
Xu Taozhuo shook his head and said, "No, that person is myself, I first saw me pull out my eyeballs, two eyeballs hanging on my face, and then picked up scissors and cut off the extraocular muscles of the eyeballs hanging on my face that were connected to the eye sockets." ”
Hiss!
I instinctively rubbed my eyes, and my eyes hurt when I heard it.
So, I said: Your nightmare, he is indeed a little terrifying, but it may be caused by psychological shadows.
"No, it's not a psychological shadow, I must be possessed by a ghost." Xu Taozhuo looked at me and said, "I'm not a psychological shadow, from the beginning when I entered the house, didn't you notice my difference?" My whole person, it seems a little weird? ”
Weird?
I looked at her, could it be that she was aware of herself, a ghost was on her body, and a ghost was pressed on her back?
"Hunchback, you say? Oh, not a hunchback, I said something else, I have other, more horrible anomalies in me. She said.
She didn't seem to be aware of this, but something else? More terrifying?
She didn't speak, and asked me to scrutinize her.
I looked at it for a long time, and suddenly I clapped my hands and said, "It's glasses, right?" You, a doctor who does retinal surgery, wear gold-wire glasses, don't follow the rules, you are short-sighted, who will come to you to correct your vision? ”
Xu Taozhuo said, "No, you guessed wrong again." ”
I was silent for a while, Xu Taozhuo is a very difficult woman, she is smiling on the surface, wearing a gold wire glasses and very bookish, in fact, her aura is a little aggressive, and she always takes the initiative when talking to people.
She said, "It's not in the glasses, it's in my eyes, haven't you noticed, I haven't blinked until now?" ”
I looked closely, and it was.
No wonder she always feels something weird about her.
Xu Taozhuo said: "You must know that no matter what a person does, he will blink, and he may not even pay attention to this, this is instinct, and it is also a person's normal conditioned reflex, according to statistics, the number of times a person blinks per minute under normal circumstances is 25 times." ”
"Oh, every minute, so much?" I was taken aback for a moment, feeling that I was always being taught strange knowledge by guests.
When I thought of Ning Que before, there were some shadows in my heart.
"But I won't blink, it should be the dead man who took revenge on me, thinking that I had hurt him, and like an eye expander, lying on my back, reaching out to support my eyelids, not letting me blink." She said, "So, I'm dying. ”
I'm confused, is it that serious?
But how did he know that he was lying behind his back?
I groaned, buried my doubts in my heart, and continued to ask, "Dying?" Meaning you can't blink, so you can't sleep with your eyes open? If that's the case, if you wipe your eyes with your hands, won't you be able to close your eyes and sleep? ”
"No, no, Mr. You, you still don't understand what I mean, that's not the point." Xu Taozhuo said: "At first, I was very uncomfortable, every time before going to bed, I pulled down my eyelashes with my hands, like pulling curtains to close my eyelids, and when I woke up, I opened my eyelids with my hands to see the sun, all manually, because I was not used to it, I thought it was still dark, and I was late for work many times, but later, I gradually found more terrifying things." ”
Something even more terrifying?
It seems that the eyelids can't be controlled by themselves, and something will really happen?
My heart was cold, but I had to be a patient listener in my line of work, so I continued to listen to her.
She looked at me calmly, "You know, I'm not short-sighted, but why am I wearing these big-rimmed gold wire glasses?" Because I'm pollen allergic, I sneeze easily, and if I don't wear glasses, I'll die! ”
Sneeze.
Glasses are mandatory
For a moment, I thought of a horrible fact that sent me the creeps.
