The hot pot is hot and the beer is cold. Sun Lien, who couldn't drink because he was driving, watched his girlfriend kill the fourth glass of draft beer.

Eating hot pot and drinking Coke, Sun Lien muttered in his heart - don't wait for Hu Jia to go home and drink high before going to bed, then he has to stay by the bed for another night.

In all fairness, Sun Lien himself didn't think about what else could happen at night. But Hu Jia's posture of drinking too much not only made him unable to remember, but he was always worried.

In Ningyuan at the end of December, the weather was not ordinary. In case she drinks too much tonight, and Sun Lien is not there to keep an eye on the quilt at any time, the chance that Hu Jia may catch a cold tomorrow is as high as ninety percent.

But if he stares the whole night tonight, the chance of not getting enough sleep tomorrow is as high as 100%.

That's a problem.

Nurses with colds are not allowed to go on stage, and diagnosticians who do not sleep enough cannot play their part to the fullest. Sun Lien thought about it, and could only pull Hu Jia's shirt in a childish posture and reminded, "Drink less, you don't have to go to work tomorrow?"

"No, I'm off work tomorrow. Hu Jia proudly asked for the fifth beer, and then put on a posture to shake up the yellow throat. On the other side of the table, Rachel's cheeks were already crimson by Hu Jia, and her eyes were blurred.

Xu Yourong looked at his wife and felt a little distressed. Foreigners drink mostly without alcohol, and Rachel is the kind of person who does not refuse to come, and before she started to eat, she was poured several beers by Hu Jia, and she was called a ghost if she was not drunk.

The most troublesome thing is that Xu Yourong can't drink either. She couldn't even help Rachel with two glasses — neurosurgeons need to abstain from alcohol in their daily lives.

A man and a woman who felt sorry for their daughter-in-law became an alliance invisibly at this moment, but at the same time, they also played each other's colors. Xu Yourong motioned to Sun Lien to stop Hu Jia with his eyes, while Sun Lien responded with his eyes that he couldn't do anything about it. In short, eye contact is close, and the result is that a good table of dishes is left out in the cold.

Except for Hu Jiashabu who made some slices of meat, and Xu Yourong who asked for fried rice and yogurt in order to make Rachel feel better, the four people on the table basically didn't move much. When it was time to check out, this pile of dishes was packed up by Hu Jia - she ordered Sun Lien to bring these things back to the dormitory, so that she could make a spicy fragrant pot tomorrow.

After eating happily and drinking to the fullest, Hu Jia then got into her aunt's car under the phone call of Nurse Hu. She waved her hand vigorously at the three people who came out to see them off, "Find a chance to have another drink in two days!"

Sun Lien and Xu Yourong looked at the old Citroen C6 in the distance, and couldn't help but have a cold war together. And Rachel, who was half-hanging on Xu Yourong's body, was still unrelenting at a tree on the side of the road, "Hu Jia, don't go, let's drink until dawn......"

On the way home to send the two of them, Xu Yourong couldn't hold back anymore before complaining to Sun Lien, "Hu Jia can drink so much, don't you know where to stop?"

"If I can stop it, see if she can order a beer. Sun Lien showed his helplessness in a more playful way, he looked at Xu Yourong and Rachel sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror, "Is she okay?"

—————

"Drunk too fast. Xu Yourong glanced at his girlfriend, and then asked rhetorically, "Aren't you from the emergency department?"

"We don't usually accept her in the emergency room. Sun Lien replied with a smile, "It's good if you bother to stare at it a little bit tonight and let her drink more water." If you have a headache tomorrow morning, get an ibuprofen. ”

I don't know if Sun Lien and Xu Yourong were chatting too loudly, Rachel, who was originally lying on her back in the back seat, suddenly turned over, pillowed her head on Xu Yourong's lap, and then muttered something vaguely in her native language.

Sun Lien didn't hear what Rachel was saying clearly, and Xu Yourong didn't seem to hear clearly at first. It wasn't until she looked down and listened carefully, and then her eyes turned red.

Rachel was muttering, "Don't leave me alone." ”

When Sun Lien returned to the dormitory with two big bags of hot pot ingredients, Shen Xi came back from the balcony with an ice cream in his mouth, and helped Sun Lien put the pile of dishes into the refrigerator, and then he asked, "Brother Sun, have dinner today?"

"Almost, a colleague came back from a business trip today. Sun Lien didn't talk about Xu Yourong's matter in detail, he stretched his waist slightly, "I have contacted the gene company you introduced to me today - after the results are out, my brother will invite you to dinner." ”

"I can help you. Shen Xi smiled politely, "By the way, Brother Sun, I'm going to have a meal with Brother Cao in a few days - are you interested in going together?"

Sun Lien was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Okay, okay, you set a time, I'm sure I'll arrive!"

The only Brother Cao that Shen Xi knows is Dr. Cao Xin. Come to think of it, it had been almost a year since Dr. Cao had moved out of the dormitory due to injury, and Sun had not seen each other.

The last time we met, Dr. Cao was still in a wheelchair in the cold wind, smiling and teasing, but fortunately he was not surnamed Chen. Although he didn't understand the specific meaning of Dr. Cao's joke, Sun Lien at least knew that his roommate's mental condition was okay. And he seems to have gradually come out of the reality of his own trauma. And gradually towards the original self recovery.

Recovery is not an easy process. This is especially true for patients who have lost some of their mobility due to trauma. Compared to other patients who need to recover, they need to overcome not only physical pain, but also the shadow in their own minds. The double trauma of psychological and physical trauma makes their road to recovery bumpy, and in some cases, this psychological shadow can further develop into more serious psychological trauma and even mental illness.

Dr. Cao was still working at the time of his injury, so he was found to have been injured in the line of duty. The Fourth Hospital directly covered all the costs of his rehabilitation and treatment. But the cost of rehabilitation and treatment is not the main obstacle at this time – the treatment itself is the biggest problem. Because of the impact of pain and psychological shadows, Cao Xin's recovery progress has not been satisfactory. It wasn't until the summer that the situation improved dramatically.

Dr. Cao's son fell to the ground in mid-May, and it seemed that he had suddenly changed as a new father. The psychology of being slightly resistant to rehabilitation training in the past has also changed 180 degrees all of a sudden. So much so that later the rehabilitation physician had to warn him, asking Cao Xin to reduce some spontaneous rehabilitation exercises to prevent new injuries.

According to Shen Xi, Dr. Cao is now able to walk normally with an ordinary cane. It's still a bit difficult to walk faster, but at least I'm able to move freely without having to rely on crutches or a wheelchair – which is a great thing.
