Chapter 158: The Morgue
In a strange city, if you have the power to help you, you can't ask for it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I came to Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province, from Henan Province with Professor Zheng and others, just to do follow-up treatment for Pan Qingqing.
For "vegetative people", there is currently no treatment to revive them, only the will of the patient.
Before leaving, Professor Cheng asked Professor Hong Changshan to find me a job, and although I was only a night watchman in the morgue, I was already very content. The hospital's morgue was divided into two shifts, day and night, and on duty during the day was an old man named Weng Bo, who led me and Zheng Xiumin into the morgue.
Almost all morgues have the same layout, with a morgue bed surrounded by a morgue and a separate room for dissection.
The morgue was air-conditioned, and a white mist was emitting that made the hairs stand on end.
"Your job is mainly to inspect the corpses in the morgue and morgue to prevent small animals from entering and destroying the corpses, and if there is a new corpse entering, be sure to verify the identity of the deceased first, fill out the corpse sheet and identity tag." Umber lifted a white sheet from a morgue to reveal a cyan arm, and the deceased had an "identity tag" tied to his wrist, which detailed the deceased's name, gender, time of death, cause of death, and place of origin.
The arm I saw was a Suizhou man named Yu Dingbang, who died in a car accident.
The corpses on the morgue bed felt cold to the touch, and the corpses in the morgue were frozen to the ground. Zheng Xiumin couldn't stand the chill here and was about to leave, but Weng Bo took us to open an iron door and introduced: "This is the dissection room of the hospital!" ”
The dissection chamber is a little hotter than the morgue, and on wooden shelves against the wall are glassware of various sizes, which contain various human organs soaked in formalin.
When Zheng Xiumin saw it, she couldn't help but feel nauseous and wanted to vomit, and then ran to a large cement pool, which was also a formalin-soaked corpse, and the air was filled with a strong smell of formalin potion.
Umber took us out of the morgue and back to the duty room, continuing to introduce: "You can live in this duty room, but when you are on the night shift, it is best not to sleep too hard, if you feel sleepy and bored, you can drink some tea, listen to the radio, and remember not to let cats, dogs, mice and other animals enter the morgue!" ”
Zheng Xiumin sat down on a chair and looked at the duty room, where there was a phone installed on the table, but when she picked it up, she found that she could only make an internal call.
Umber introduced: "This is an internal phone installed in the hospital, if there is a body sent here, it will definitely call to notify you first!" ”
"What's the illness of the guy on the night shift?" Zheng Xiumin asked casually.
Omber's face changed, and he said: "It's a young man who works the night shift, greedy for the air conditioning in the morgue, and has rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease, so he went back to his hometown to recuperate!" ”
After getting acquainted with the environment here, Omber said to me: "You will come to work tonight, take over the shift on time at seven o'clock, and tomorrow morning at seven o'clock, if there is anything to tell me in advance, or you can find someone who is familiar with this aspect of work to replace you!" ”
I nodded in response, and the other party added, "Do you have a pager or mobile phone, I can contact you conveniently." ”
Zheng Xiumin reported the mobile phone number, and Weng Bo took out a "big brother" from his waist, dialed the number, and then asked us: "Your mobile phone number is from out of town?" ”
"Yes, it's from Henan!" Zheng Xiumin explained.
Omber frowned and advised us: "If you plan to stay here for a long time, it is best to get a local number and save money on phone bills!" ”
I nodded in agreement, and Zheng Xiumin thanked him, said goodbye to him, and then led me out of the morgue.
After leaving the iron gate of the morgue, he felt a warmth when he waited, and Zheng Xiumin affirmed: "The morgue here must be very terrifying, but you have even seen the Ghost Emperor, so naturally you will not be afraid of these lonely ghosts!" ”
When I came to the outside of the ward, the sun was already setting in the west, Zheng Xiumin looked at her watch and said, "It's already past five o'clock, I'll take you to dinner, and there is a time display on the mobile phone screen, and when you stabilize down, I can be free!" ”
I was going to go to the hospital cafeteria to eat, but Zheng Xiumin insisted on taking me to the restaurant outside, but I couldn't resist her, so I had to respond.
At a hot dry noodle restaurant near the hospital, Zheng Xiumin asked for two soup noodles and two baked cakes.
Facing the bustling and unfamiliar city, my heart is full of curiosity and freshness, but there is also a trace of apprehension. Zheng Xiumin is very casual, has no interest in the city, and skillfully orders and checks out.
After dinner, we brought a hot dry noodle for Pan Gui, and when we returned to the ward, we found that he was already having dinner, and there was an eldest sister in the room, who was somewhat familiar.
Pan Gui was a little embarrassed when he saw us coming back, so he hurriedly introduced us: "This is Cui'e, the waiter at a noodle restaurant near my house." ”
It turned out to be a waiter at the noodle restaurant, Cui'e smiled at us and explained: "Brother A Gui and I are old acquaintances, I heard that Qingqing girl is sick and hospitalized, so let's come and see, you chat, the noodle shop is still alive, I have to go back quickly!" ”
Zheng Xiumin asked Pangui to send Cui'e, I came to the hospital bed to inspect Qingqing, she was sleeping peacefully, I don't know when she will wake up?
Zheng Xiumin sat down on the sofa and said, "This Cui'e is interesting to Pan Gui. ”
I packed up and tidied up my belongings, Zheng Xiumin advised: It's cold at night, bring your cold-proof clothes, and be cautious, don't forget the self-defense skills I taught you!
After Pan Gui came back, Zheng Xiumin said goodbye and wanted to return to the military guest house, and I also took the salute to prepare to take over, and Pan Gui asked after seeing it: "Doctor Yuan, where are you going?" ”
When he heard that I was working the night shift in the morgue, he frowned, took the salute from my hand, and said, "I'll send you there!" ”
I was about to excuse myself, but he had already left the room first, so I had to follow him.
In the elevator, Pan Gui said to me: "I have sent corpses to the morgue before, and the yin qi in that place is too heavy to stay for a long time, otherwise it may lead to infertility." ”
I hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I am a medical student, as long as I don't stay in the morgue for a long time, it will be fine, there are no ghosts and gods in this world!" ”
I comforted him with this, and through the path, we went outside the morgue and rang the doorbell.
Umber opened the door and let us in, and he looked at Pan Gui with a surprised expression.
Pan Gui also said politely: "Abel is a native of Wuhan, right?" I am from the vicinity of the Danjiangkou Reservoir in Shiyan, and I have been working here for more than ten years! ”
Weng Bo responded and said, "Young man, if you want to come here to work, I can introduce you!" ”
Pan Gui politely declined him, Weng Bo picked up the water glass, handed me the key, and said, "Remember to watch the door, first check the integrity and quantity of the corpse, and then go to the autopsy room to check!" ”
I answered, and watched him go.
It was getting dark, I turned on the electric light in the room, Pan Gui put down my salute, and said, "The environment here is not bad, but it is a little gloomy, and I will come here to familiarize myself with it when I have time." ”
Because I was still a little nervous about guarding the morgue for the first time, Pan Gui accompanied me to inspect the corpses in the morgue, and when he saw the corpses of Bai Huahua in the large pool in the autopsy room, he was also disgusted and wanted to vomit.
Out of the morgue, Pan Gui left his paging number and said to me, "If you have anything to call this paging sign, I will come over!" ”
