Chapter 222: Meteor
"When I was about four or five years old, I watched cartoons and there was a line in them, 'Every shooting star in the sky means that someone is dead'. So since I was a child, I didn't dare to look at meteors, and I didn't understand why anyone would make a wish on a meteor in the sky. β
Tang Wen and Sun Lien stood by the tarmac of the fourth courtyard, the dark sky dotted with stars. The snow finally stopped, after two weeks of intermittent snow. It's been a sunny day since the morning. The blue sky makes people panic a little. Tang Wen had tested negative for plague three times in a row β he became the first patient with pneumonic plague to be discharged from the hospital.
Although Tang Wen can be discharged from the hospital, his father has not fully recovered his health. And the most urgent thing he had to do after he was discharged from the hospital was to go to the cemetery to collect his mother's ashes. A trip, the whole family is seriously ill, and even separated from his mother forever. Tang Wen didn't look happy at all after learning that he could be discharged from the hospital, and even a little heavy, which is completely understandable.
Sun Lien thought about it and prepared to send Tang Wen - the emergency department of the fourth hospital is still closed, and there are no other patients to deal with anyway, and they are idle.
After completing all the formalities and examinations, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, and Sun Lien sent Tang Wen out of the emergency building. And Tang Wen looked at the meteor in the sky and suddenly said such a paragraph.
Sun Lien looked at the meteor flashing in the sky and didn't know how to answer.
"You've done your best. Tang Wen sighed, "Maybe this is my mother's fate-she has always wanted to go to Xihai Province to have a fun, who would have thought that after going, she could be infected with the plague? Now that medicine is so advanced, even an artificial liver is available, but she still can't survive it-it's all fate." β
β...... Condolences change. Sun Lien really didn't know what to say, he walked slowly behind Tang Wen. Sun Lien, who was scolded by Wu Youqian by the neck two weeks ago, has gotten rid of his self-blame. But personal mood changes could not help him find words to comfort Tang Wen, and after such a long period of getting along, it was almost impossible to treat Tang Wen as an ordinary patient.
"I saw a meteor just now. Tang Wen suddenly stopped and said to Sun Lien, "Then I suddenly figured it out, maybe, making a wish on a meteor is essentially delivering a message to the dead?"
"I'm a doctor. "My education and professional training are telling me to trust reality, but at the same time they are also teaching me that we need to do our best to make patients feel comfortable β well, I think that makes sense." β
Tang Wen laughed a few times, "You're really not suitable for comforting people. He took the small bag in Sun Lien's hand, which contained documents such as his medical records, as well as Hou Wenhui's personal belongings. "I just made a wish, hoping that my mother can bless my father with a speedy recovery, and I will bless you doctors with good health. He squeezed his eyes at Sun Lien, "After all, if there is no you, who else can cure my father with my mother's blessing?"
Under the clear night sky, another meteor streaked by.

"This year's department summary meeting was originally planned to wait until after the New Year, but now the situation has changed a little. When Sun Lien returned to the rescue room, he happened to meet Zhou Jun who was holding a meeting for everyone. "There is only one plague patient left, and he is in a stable condition. I have already discussed with Dean Song that this patient will be transferred to the Third Hospital for treatment tomorrow morning, and the emergency room will be put back into use the morning after tomorrow - it will take a day to thoroughly disinfect the entire emergency room. Then take this opportunity to start the summary meeting. β
Zhou's proposal was approved by the vast majority of doctors. Anyway, it's only a day, and even if you want to go out and play, it's not enough. It's better for everyone to get together, eat and drink, and summarize this year's work by the way.
"According to the practice of previous years......," Zhou Jun continued, "the dinner will still be held in the banquet hall of the Ningyuan Hotel, and the time will start at half past twelve noon tomorrow, so remember to wear formal clothes to attend." β
"Although the time is a bit rushed, after all, it is a summary of everyone's hard work. Zhou Jun said seriously to everyone, "Although our salary is not as good as that of those foreign and private enterprises, the annual meeting still needs to be a little more lively - for example, the lottery, we also have to do it." β
Generally speaking, when the leaders announce that they are going to draw a lottery for the annual meeting, the employees should at least show enthusiasm and cheer for it. However, the doctors in the emergency department not only did not cheer, but even sighed neatly.
Sun Lien was a little curious about the reason, but for a while, there was no one to ask at allβhe was surrounded by members of his own treatment team. And in the entire treatment group, that is, Sun Lien's seniority in the emergency department is the oldest - Xu Yourong has been working in neurosurgery before, and the annual meeting of the emergency department has nothing to do with her.
"Can we go as new here?" asked Dr. Brunn aloud from the side, in English.
"Absolutely. Zhou Jun nodded, "If you win the lottery and there is no place to put the prize for the time being, you can delay it for two weeks before claiming the prize." β
"Is it possible that there is no place to put it?" Dr. Brunn was also stunned like Sun Lien, "What gift is so big?"
Zhou Jun smiled, "This year's first prize is a full-size first-aid dummy!"
Cold, outright cold.
The other doctors could still smile wryly and whisper privately, "I know." And in Sun Lien's entire treatment group, all the doctors showed an expression of disbelief. Not to mention the two Americans, even Yuan Ping'an was shocked.
"First aid dummies?full size?" Here Sun Lien was still pondering the theoretical basis for using the first aid dummy as a prize, but Dr. Brunn's eyes suddenly widened and asked, "Brand new or used?"
"Yes, of course. Zhou Jun looked right, "Brand new products are very expensive." It just so happened that the college had eliminated a batch of generations, and Director Liu had to come over to be the first prize of the year-end award. β
Everyone nodded one after another, it turned out to be Liu Tangchun's bad idea. That makes sense β first aid dummies and first aid kits are the same type of product.
Last year's year-end prize was awarded to a wilderness survival kit that included a scalpel and pre-packaged suture needles, antibiotics, and a one-week ration and drinking water for five adults. The huge box even had four wheels underneath it β it wouldn't have been easy to move this half-human-tall waterproof plastic box without wheels.
"The second prize is two laptops, and Director Liu ordered two aliens - it is said that the game is very good. Zhou Jun continued to introduce the content of the prize. There are a total of 161 doctors in the entire emergency room plus Sun Lien's treatment group, and the probability of drawing two computers among so many people is indeed not high, which is in line with the expectations of the second prize. "The third prize is five mobile phones, and I will send the specific brand to the group when I turn around. He looked at the group of colleagues around him who seemed to be gradually becoming interested, and finally said, "This year, as in previous years, there is also a special arrangement award, and those who are drawn can take five days off." According to the rules, it was supposed to be Director Liu to replace the shift. But now that he's in Africa to support the local medical work, it's up to me to do it β check the time with me before you ask for leave. β
Yuan Ping'an blinked his eyes and said in a low voice of envy, "This is the real first prize!"
