Chapter 1 Visits
May is the month of heavy rains in the south. Weather forecasts have long said that the next few days will be strong convective weather, with localized heavy rain.
It's really unwise to go out in such bad weather. However, Lin Haihai ignored the warnings of his colleagues, and when the sky was so gray that it looked like it was about to fall, he took an umbrella and carried a medicine box on his back and went out.
It was an old man who had been sent home to die, who used to be Lin Haihai's old patient, who was in his 90s, and had been suffering from emphysema for a long time, and it was already in the advanced stage.
Every organ in the body is degrading, the stomach is bleeding, and it hurts terribly when I eat. During the hospitalization, he had been relying on injections to keep him alive, and now that he has returned home, his children feel that even if they want to go, they must let the old father eat a meal and be a full ghost.
So when he was discharged from the hospital, he asked Lin Haihai to take a strong heart injection, went home and cooked a meal, and the old man was very happy to eat nearly a bowl.
After eating, the old man was still chatting happily with his children, but after nearly an hour, the old man began to feel pain, and then desperately called for Dr. Lin, and begged his children to find Dr. Lin for help.
The children really had no choice, so they had to call Lin Haihai and explain the situation. Lin Haihai actually couldn't go, because she knew that the old man had returned to heaven and had no practical effect, and the old man's children also knew about it, so they didn't have any hope that the doctor would come.
This phone call is just to comfort the old man, let the old man hold on to hope, etc. Unexpectedly, Lin Haihai hung up the phone, didn't say a word, and went out immediately.
When he arrived at the old man's house, the old man was in agony. As soon as he saw Lin Haihai, the old man's cloudy eyes immediately brightened, and he called out of breath: "Doctor Lin, help." Lin Haihai immediately walked up, put down the medicine box, held the old man's hand, and comforted: "It's okay, relax." She knew that the old man was now conscious and knew that he was about to leave, so he pinned his hopes on the doctor like a life-saving straw.
Because many times when he was critically ill, it was the people in front of him who snatched him back from the hands of death. He hopes it will be the same this time.
Lin Haihai knew that this time would not be the same as before, and what she had to do now was not how to rescue the old man, but to let the old man leave without pain.
She took out the morphine injection from the medicine box and skillfully injected the old man. Originally, the use of morphine was to ask for the signature of relatives, but now Lin Haihai has obviously made a mistake, but I believe that no one will blame her.
Lin Haihai said in the old man's ear while injecting: "It'll be fine in a while, it will slowly stop hurting, take a deep breath, relax your body, I will always look at you." The old man looked at Lin Haihai trustingly, slowly relaxed, his clenched hand began to open slowly, he felt the pain begin to slowly move away, and he began to calm down.
But there were many people in front of him, and he looked at the crowd in front of him in surprise, how could all the dead people stand in front of him?
Hell, father, mother, wife? He called softly, "Daddy, Mommy, the child,, here." Lin Haihai watched the old man's actions, she has seen a lot of this situation, not that people often say that they see relatives on the verge of death, but in the later stage of emphysema, patients will often hallucinate.
She saw that the old man's eyes were misty and his expression was empty, and she knew that the old man had entered the world of illusion. Soon, the old man's breathing began to slow down and become lighter, and this lasted for half an hour, and finally, the old man took a long breath, but never inhaled again.
With some grief in her heart, she turned around and said, "He has gone." All of a sudden, the people in the house cried loudly, and some of the older generation shouted, "Kneel down quickly and send the old man on his last journey." Then, in front of the old man's bed, he knelt on the ground.
Lin Haihai held back his tears, picked up the medicine box, and fled from the sad scene. I have been a doctor for a few years, and I have already seen life and death, but I can't face it calmly every time, and my mentor once said that she is too emotional, which will be a big obstacle to her career.
But she just can't face death coldly, because she is a person who competes with death. She has a super love for life.
