Chapter 37 - Meeting
After spending the whole day in this ht shi+ft
I had just put on my white coat when I heard someone run to the nurse station
I opened the door and saw the tearstained face of a woh
Her husband was a cancer patient and was suffering froe of liver cancer Unfortunately, the cancer cells had spread to the lungs and oesophagus leading to gastrointestinal bleeding There was no e could operate on him anymore The Director had already warned the family to prepare for his funeral Maybe today was his last day
”Doctor, please save hied me, ” I'm sure you can think of a wayEven if you cant save his live, just make it so he can live for two more days”
” I'll do my best”
I went to the ward The patient could not talk Seeing me, he started to screa his two year old daughter behind
His faently asked theo to the corridor The patient needs to be in a peaceful atmosphere”
I instructed the nurses to give hih I wasn't sure how , I still whispered to hi developed in the United States”
He quietly looked at me
” And toet the ery”
He nodded and caught my wrist with his hand
I knew that I could not save hien of hope to accoht of his life
An hour later the patient's breathing becaradually more and more difficult
I smiled and comforted him
” My father had cancer three years ago He had lymphatic cancer, the forreatest regret was that he would not be able to see randson Cancer is not an incurable disaes Dont give up
The patient struggled to breathe, never guving up
I shouted to the nurse, ” Nurse!”
” Dr Bo”
” Get it!”
Knowing it was futile, we still put in our last efforts to help hiht for every last second
He grabbed in despair
” Do you want to tell ?”
He htly
As he looked at his wife crying, he whispered his daughter's name
When he was gone, his as no longer crying In a stupor, she kept on whispering to herself, ”What do I do? What after this…”
I have heard this question countless times The answer is the same for parents, children, spouses; you have to live well
Perhaps there would be many hardshi+ps, but at least we still had a life to live
After this extreme emotional experience, I was exhausted As I tiredly walked back to
”What kind of guy? How is it that I never saw anything ?”
” He was standing in the corridor Very handso”
Another nurse chipped in, ” That look, !”
I did not knohat they were talking about
I had toonu while on duty
” Is it? Oh, I was busy inside”, there was a tone of resentment in the nurse's voice
Another nurse , on her way back to get soot involved in the discussion
” You are talking about the guy as standing in the corridor , right? Is he someone from the patient's family?”
” No, he came to…”
At this point she saw my cold face and was immediately silenced, ” Dr Bo”
” hello”, I nodded trying to keep my tone calm
” Did it work?”
” For a while”
In the night , I could not sleep I walked out of the hospital; I had a breathless feeling in my chest I wanted to cry , but for the last three years, ever since I had left Kansai airport I could no longer cry
I got into etting enougoygen insideof suffocation I was experiencing
I pushed the seat back and closed eyes to relax Without knowing it, I fell aslepp
I drea my hand fir, ” girl”
I struggled, trying to break free fro his grasp But I could not move
My grievances and depression piled up and I started crying, big fat teardrops rolling down my face
I woke up suddenly I touched my face and realised ed t scratch
Suddenly, I re important
About teeks ago, a faone berserk and I had to forcibly ush hilass casing was smashed
I took the watch to a repair shop, The repaired and they had no spare parts He asked o to the manufacturer
When I went to the Seagull store, the clerk was very surprised and told me that they had never sold a watch like this
I told her that the watch was very i to spend whatever was required to get it back in working condition
She promised to send it to the factory and asked me to come back after fifteen days
I quickly walked to the seagull shop in the mall and asked the salesman, ” Was the watch fixed?”
” Which one are you talking about?”
” A white watch Fifteen days ago, you said you would send it to te factory”
The staff remembered
” Please wait”
Not long after, the er came with a nice box
” Is it fixed?”
” We're sorry” , the er returned the watch to me, ” our factory does not have spare parts”
I didnt understand, ” Isnt this watch a genuine Seagull?”
