108 The Crazies are Always Happy (1/2)
Yun Hua Hospital, Neurology Department.
Cao Yue, a female doctor, smiled as she sat on a chair in the electromyography room while watching Lu Wenbin push the gurney against the wall. She said, ”Okay, that place will do. I'll handle the rest from here.”
Lu Wenbin looked at Li Huamin, the patient on the gurney, and asked, ”Do you need my help?”
”No need.” Cao Yue smiled and said, ”You can just wait outside.”
”This… patient has quite the attitude. You need to pay attention.”
”It's fine. I have seen numerous patients.” Cao Yue gave him a look.
Lu Wenbin hesitated for a moment and left the Emergency Department after he saw the other person's impatient expression written all over her face. He found a tall chair, sat on it, and let out a long sigh. Recently, he did not get to be the one who performed the closing of incisions, and his hand itched to do something.
Inside the Emergency Department.
Cao Yue snorted lightly as she said to herself, 'There are so many patients with attitudes. Who hasn't seen them?'
The last thing she could bear was the Department of Surgery's resident doctors. Not only did they have neither skill nor professionalism, but they were also always stubborn, as if they might master skills at any moment. They even tried to educate people from time to time.
From Cao Yue's point of view, these resident doctors from the Department of Surgery were all inflexible people who did all the manual labor in the hospital.
Although the environment in the operating theater was clean, every operating theater, in fact, would have a sudden surge of patients infected with certain types of pathogens visit them every once in a while. The surgeons' white gowns were always cleaned only in the morning, and the bloodstains they encountered every day was much more than regular people usually did…
In contrast, Cao Yue's work environment was much more comfortable. The electromyography room was an ordinary office, and the instrument was connected with the computer. As long as the patch was placed on the patient's skin, the rest of the operation was all done by the computer.
In terms of appearances, it was more complicated than an electrocardiogram.
This position could be said to be the whole hospital's most relaxing position, and it was impossible to get this position if a person had no connections with the hospital. One could say the electromyography room was like another world was a completely different world from the surgeons' working environment.
When Cao Yue thought of this, she would sing in her heart, 'We're not the same, not the same…'
”You're a specialist in nerve testing?” Li Huamin lay on her side, revealing half of her arm, which was covered in a red silk cloth sleeve. It was very bright and beautiful.
Cao Yue stopped singing in her heart and laughed twice. She lifted the patch as she said, ”I am a professional on electromyography, not nerve tests. Let me roll up your sleeve, please.”
Cao Yue rolled up the patient's sleeves as she said, ”Your hand has an external fixture, and you're still able to dress yourself?”
”There are buttons on the back.” Li Huamin replied and asked, ”Are my nerves recovering?”
Cao Yue was a little annoyed. ”I don't know, I haven't tested it yet, who knows.”
”If the nerve isn't recovering right, it will be a stroke, right?”
”A stroke is a nerve problem of the brain.”
”Then is there any problem with the nerves in my brain?”
”I haven't tested it, I don't know as well.”
”Doctor, don't lie to me. I'm not afraid to die,” Li Huamin said seriously, ”I asked my family, and they didn't say anything. I know everyone is hiding something from me. They're being good to me, but I just want to know.”
Cao Yue frowned. ”But I really don't know.”
'Doctor!” Li Huamin became anxious. She lifted the tiny blanket which covered her body and said loudly, ”Doctor, I'm not afraid to die, but I want to know why I died. There's no need for a normal, healthy person to conduct tests on their nerves, and since I'm not crazy, there's no need for me to test my nervous system either!”
Cao Yue looked at Li Huamin's red silk Tang suit. She stared at it at for several seconds and felt strangely familiar with it.
Li Huamin's expression relaxed at once when she realized the clothes on her body had been noticed, and she asked, ” How do you like it? This suit was designed by me. Old people said that the shroud should be red to resemble auspiciousness, but my five basic elements were pink. That's why I made the embroidery pink, and the cloth scarlet. The rebus of the Wu Fu Peng Shou[1] in the middle is made with gold thread—”
”What are you wearing?” Cao Yue was shocked.
”Grave clothes!” Li Huamin said gravely, ”You will be testing my nerves in a while. If there is a problem with my brain, I'll wear this and jump off the roof so that I won't trouble my family!”
Li Huamin looked at Cao Yue very seriously and said, ”You have to do the test properly, see if there is any problem in my brain!”
”Wait a moment…” Cao Yue twitched as she stood up and opened the office door, then shouted, ”Lu… Doctor Lu, that… please come and lend me a hand.”
...
On the second day.
Lu Wenbin stood outside the ward and reported to the department director as he conducted his ward rounds, ”The anastomosis of the patient's nerves are in good condition…”
Li Huamin was semi-reclining on her bed and beckoned to the doctors outside the room.
”Old Du, go in and have a look. We'll go to the next one. You continue.” Huo Congjun passed the door and sent the associate director into the ward.
Lu Wenbin said, ”There's no problem with the tendon repair, the strength has increased. Doctor Ling's medical advice indicated that she can begin the early phase of rehabilitation—”
”Just follow Doctor Ling's medical advice.” Huo Congjun interrupted Lu Wenbin without even listening to much of what he said. He never really did understand much about the things in the Hand Surgery Department, and since he never did understand it, he was happy to let Ling Ran do whatever he saw fit.
