my passenger is sleepy

At four o'clock in the morning, Xiao Chen was delighted to find that he had finished reading all the numbers, and after stretching himself, he decided to take another round of inspection.The corridor fell into silence, and most of the patients had already fallen asleep. Although the air had improved, it was still dirty. The high-power ventilator made a humming sound, and the smell of disinfectant water gradually permeated.

Xiao Chen walked carefully through the emergency department. In the corridors, halls, and under the stairs, every available space was filled with narrow cots, congesting the entire corridor until only one cot could barely pass through the stretcher bed. space.Even so, there are still many patients who have to sit on the chairs in the infusion room overnight.

He turned sideways around a recliner, on which there was a patient receiving an IV drip, and turned a corner, Xiao Chen found several people forming a circle to completely block the corridor.To be precise, they were four young men, five big and three thick, exuding the aura of "I'm not kind" all over their bodies, with thick golden chains hanging around their necks, and their faces were fierce.The four young men sat on the floor with a newspaper under their buttocks. Under the bright light, the four shiny bald heads shone brightly.Probably because it was a little hot, one of them took off the thin jacket on his body, revealing the strong muscles and tattoos on his arms.

It is not the fat loach carved with a carving knife by a patient at the end of the second stage of secondary disease on the street, but a real boutique tattoo, with appropriate shades of rendering and sketching and dyeing, and the patterns are precise and complicated.Xiao Chen couldn't help but look twice more, but didn't stop on his feet, and when he was about to walk to them, he heard a young man say: "Uncle, don't worry, the four of us will definitely take care of you, ya If the hospital is not treated properly, we will tear down the hospital!"

Xiao Chen turned around, took two quick steps, and said coldly, "Guys, you're blocking the way."

Probably because Xiao Chen's tone of "good dogs don't get in the way" was too strong, the young man who had just threatened to "destroy the hospital" jumped up from the ground aggressively.The young man with the beautiful tattoo grabbed him and said, "Cheng Zi, sit down."

Then he stood up and Xiao Chen smiled and said politely: "I'm sorry doctor, let's move."

Xiao Chen gave the young man who was being dragged a hard look, he was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of gun-mouthed person, he just silently gave the nurse who was nestling by the wall half-closed his eyes, the tall and strong male nurse nodded slightly , indicating that you understand.

Four young men were squeezing against the wall, tightly surrounding a simple bed, Xiao Chen looked down at the four big bald heads that were shiny and shiny.

It was the old man who blackmailed people lying on the bed.

Xiao Chen spat in his heart: The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

Think about the taciturn driver again, spit again, coward.

Just when Xiao Chen was about to leave, the old man who had been clamoring that he had a concussion and internal bleeding suddenly sat up, grabbed Xiao Chen's white coat, and asked in an almost pleading voice: "Doctor, doctor, am I Can't you go home?"

Xiao Chen glanced at him in disgust: "Didn't you keep arguing that you had internal bleeding?"

"No, no," the old man turned his head into a rattle, "I'm fine, I'm fine, doctor, can I go home?"

Xiao Chen didn't have time to think about what his 180-degree change meant, and he was happy when he thought of this disrespectful old man who offered to be discharged from the hospital: "Of course."

The old man turned over and was about to get out of bed, but was immediately pushed down on the bed with one hand by the young man with tattooed arms.The young man said anxiously: "You can't go, you can't go, how can you go without a thorough inspection?"

"I'm fine, I know it myself." The old man's anxious voice trembled a little, "I'm fine."

"No, a thorough inspection is necessary to be on the safe side. Cheng Zi, come on, call your uncle's house and talk to your aunt." The young man firmly held the old man's elbow as he spoke. Xiao Chen watched the strength , It feels like kidnapping.

"Brother Qiao," Cheng Zi chimed in, "Why don't I go there myself, it's not far anyway... Uncle, I'll pick up Auntie by car and I'll be back in a while, don't worry."

"Don't go, don't go," the old man struggled, struggling like a bald chicken in the hands of the strong brother Qiao, his eyes were red with anxiety, "I'm really fine, I, I, I want to go back home."

The four young men shouted immediately, "How can we go home?", "Uncle, don't worry, we will pick up Auntie in a while." You never gave the old man a chance to intervene.

The old man's face was flushed, his lips were trembling, and beads of sweat began to fall.Xiao Chen felt that if this continues, he might really be admitted to the ICU, so he said, "If he really doesn't want to, forget it. The old man should be afraid that his family will worry."

"No," Brother Qiao said, "Uncle, he is actually afraid of causing trouble to us. Doctor, why do you think this is causing trouble? Serving the elderly is what we should do. Respecting the old and loving the young are the traditional Chinese virtues, right, brother !"

Who is your brother!Xiao Chen frowned secretly, he was annoyed by this kind of familiar talk.It seems that the whole world is full of his brothers and sisters, and they all have to sell him three points of face, but who is your old man, which temple is the god?

"Doctor" the old man tried his best to squeeze his head out of Brother Qiao's arms, "You said I could go home."

The pleading voice made the listener weep.

"That's no good, Uncle, you should go back and lie down quickly. In case of internal bleeding, the blood rushes into the brain all of a sudden, and you may have a cerebral hemorrhage. It's not a joke. Lie down quickly." That brother Qiao said with a smile, "I'll go and tell my aunt in a while, ask her to make some porridge and some side dishes for you. You must be hungry after a night... Hey, don't you live in Building 12, Puyuan Community, and cooperate with the traffic police Brother Si remembered everything when registering, don’t worry, we’ll go well.”

While that brother Qiao was talking enthusiastically, he pushed the old man down on the bed, and the skinny old man hardly had any room to struggle.

"Don't go!" The old man's voice was almost heart-piercing and tearful, making Xiao Chen tremble.

Seeing the chaos, Xiao Chen finally couldn't bear to lower his voice and shout: "Quiet!"

The group of people fell silent for an instant.

"You...are a family?" Xiao Chen asked hesitantly.

Brother Qiao nodded desperately. The old man looked at the four elder nephews standing in front of the bed, and nodded with a pale face: "I... I am their...uncle."

"If you want to go home, you have to wait for my examination," Xiao Chen glanced at the old man and said, "Come into the consulting room!"

The old man was sitting on a stool in the consulting room, with four aggressive "bodyguards" standing behind him, but he was trembling even more, and his face turned pale.In fact, the old man really had nothing to investigate, Xiao Chen ruled out the concussion and let him leave.When he left, the old man was followed by his four eldest nephews, with great momentum.

But from the back view, the thin and withered old man was walking sadly all the way, with his shoulders hunched and waist panicked like a stray dog.Behind him, four big and round men followed closely with murderous intent, like an executioner escorting a prisoner to the execution ground.

◇◇◇

As an emergency doctor, with hundreds of patients coming and going every day, Xiao Chen quickly put this matter behind him.During the whole farce, he only remembered that Joe's exquisite tattoo and the driver's taciturnity. Of course, there were also the very impressive supraclavicular dimple, sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles...

A week later, Xiao Chen's "white plus black" class ended. Xiao Chen felt that he was about to die. He had a splitting headache, loss of appetite, and extremely irritable mood. These are typical symptoms of insomnia.But what makes people desperate is that he just can't fall asleep anyway, and just rests for a few hours in a daze with his eyes closed every day.

After the ward rounds in the morning, Xiao Chen took a shower, went to the cafeteria to have a meal, whether it was lunch or breakfast, and then walked slowly to the bus station in the sunshine of April. He had two days to rest and recuperate. , and then immediately enter the purgatory-like night shift work mode for a week.

He stood on the platform of the bus station and turned his neck to relax the tense shoulders and neck.It only takes 20 minutes to drive from Xiao Chen's home to the hospital, but since his insomnia worsened, he didn't dare to drive.Especially recently, the Chevrolet at home has been unemployed for more than a week, and he now takes the No. 29 bus every day.

This is a loop bus, departing from Jinghai Xinyuan to Xin'an Development Zone and then turning back and forth. It takes 36 and a half hours to get down to 2 stops.Anhai Hospital is at the second stop, and Xiao Chen's home is at Qijiaqiao, the 15th stop. The journey takes about an hour.Although taking a bus is much slower than driving, it is better than being safe. Xiao Chen comforted himself by saying that it is green travel that contributes to the blue sky of the city.Normally, Xiao Chen would catch the 09:30 bus. Today, after dawdling for a while, he got on the [-]:[-] bus.

Xiao Chen got on the car from the front door with his head down, swiped his card on the card reader, and walked towards the rear of the car without looking sideways.

It was a sunny day, the sun at ten o'clock was already a bit dazzling, and it shone warmly into the car.Xiao Chen casually sat in the third-to-last row, which was not far from the back door and needed to go up a step.After summarizing experience for a period of time, Xiao Chen found that this location is the best, no matter how many passengers there are, it will not cause too much interference for him to get off the car, and it is near the rear of the carriage, and the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant are basically arranged to sit in the front. You can sit all the way home in a down-to-earth manner without struggling with the problem of "giving up your seat".

This is not a question of love and public morality, but a question of the powerlessness of an emergency doctor who is about to be exhausted.

Xiao Chen walked in a bit of a hurry, sweating slightly, he took off his coat, folded it and put it on his knees, leaning against the wall of the carriage, looking at the passing street scene outside the window, he felt something in his head The pile driver was pounding, making his ears ring and he had a headache, and he felt nauseous for a while.

The car swayed slightly, and the sound of station announcements came from the electronic station announcement device from time to time.Xiao Chen looked impatiently at the gradually increasing number of people in the carriage, and felt that the buzzing noise around him could penetrate his eardrums, and every bit of noise could arouse the anger in his heart. He took a deep breath and made up his mind to go out today. When you go back, you must take half a tablet of "Sukemian", at least you can have a good sleep.

Just when he was pinching his eyebrows with a headache, a male voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker: "There are many passengers in the carriage, please take care of your belongings."

The voice was not fast, but a little low, with a faint smile, which made people feel at ease.The sound is a bit heavy, and it can be heard clearly in a slightly noisy car.

This voice is so pleasant, a thought flashed in Xiao Chen's mind, as if he had heard it somewhere before, it was very familiar.

Where is it?When Xiao Chen used his brain for a moment, he felt a splitting headache. The severe insomnia and the sequelae caused by the night shift made him completely unable to think.

The sunlight outside the window was getting more and more glaring, Xiao Chen simply closed his eyes, and heard the voice reminding the passengers to take care of their belongings, he thought, this driver is quite responsible, if the thief got into the car, it would probably be very dangerous. depressed.

The carriage swayed rhythmically, and the warm spring sun made people feel smoky. Every few minutes, there would be a pleasant voice in my ears.Xiao Chen felt that his head was even more chaotic, and his eyes hurt.

Tired, he thought.

These three words were the last moment in Xiao Chen's memory. When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to find that there were only three or five people left in the carriage!Looking at the completely unfamiliar street scene outside the window, Xiao Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that he had slept in the station.

This is simply worth celebrating!

He stretched out on the seat happily, looked at his watch, and actually slept for nearly an hour on the way.

Xiao Chen listened attentively to the station announcement. The next stop was Xin'an Development Zone. He decided to simply take a nap and get out of the car when the car circled back.

Anyway, it's a loop line, so it's amazing to take it back to the hospital.Xiao Chen thought with peace of mind, and at the same time quickly closed his eyes.
