Life is like a journey

It was early morning when I woke up again, the ward was empty, Gu Yanzhi opened his eyes with difficulty, stared at the snow-white ceiling for a while, his eyes fell on the liquid bag beside him, the infusion was over, she raised her hand and rang the bell, Waiting for the nurse to change the dressing.

She fell into a drowsy sleep for a while, her throat was on fire, and she reached for the kettle on the bedside table in a daze. Because of the distance, she had to stretch her arms, and the infusion stand attached to her other hand was precarious.

Lu Qing came in after having his fingerprints checked, just in time to see this scene, immediately rushed over to stabilize the infusion stand, and at the same time took the boiling water bottle from her hand.

Gu Yanzhi heaved a sigh of relief, completely unaware of the dangerous smile on his face: "You're here!"

When she saw that the blood in the hose connected to the indwelling needle on the back of her hand had returned to half, the always calm person slightly pursed the corners of her lips.

A sign of anger.

Lu Qingshi took a clean disposable paper cup from the bedside table and poured her a glass of water, then raised the bed slightly so that people could sit up and drink water.

The nurse who came later was still explaining: "I'm sorry Director Lu, I'm sorry Captain Gu, today Director Xu asked everyone in the department to be present during the ward rounds..."

"It's okay..." Gu Yanzhi wanted to say something, but Lu Qing looked over with a cold look.

She closed her mouth obediently.

"Are you the responsible nurse in charge of the bed? It's okay if the patient can't hear the bell, and the 10-minute ward round system can't be done in the work rules. Why don't you pack up and go home, and send your head nurse Call here, I want to change the responsible nurse"

The responsible nurse follows the patient from the moment he enters the hospital until he leaves the hospital. It is a very core job in daily nursing and does not need to work night shifts. There is also a lot of room for promotion in the future. The little nurse was so anxious that she almost burst into tears and kept bowing and apologizing.

Lu Qingshi took out his mobile phone from his pocket and was about to call the nurse's desk when he was stopped, and his pale fingers rested on his wrist.

Gu Yanzhi smiled, with an abnormal flush on his face: "Forget it, Doctor Lu, I'm fine..."

Lu Qingshi put his hand on her forehead, and stretched out his other hand to the nurse: "Show me the diagnosis and treatment records."

The nurse quickly handed it over.

"Okay, why did you suddenly have a fever?" She frowned and flipped through the pages, and the other hand slipped from her forehead. Gu Yanzhi watched that slender, white hand leave him, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

"Who gave this doctor's order?"

"Yes... Director Xu... said that this new drug is very effective in anti-infection, and many patients are using it..."

Lu Qing slapped the medical record upside down on the table: "Stop it for me, and the medication method will still be the same as my previous dosage. After a course of treatment, we will review the medication plan after checking."

The little nurse lowered her head and dared not answer.

Lu Qingshi walked up to her and pinned the diagnosis and treatment records on her body: "Why, although I'm suspended, my title is still there, and our medical team still lacks nurses."

The little nurse quickly took it with both hands, complaining endlessly, the directors of the two departments were playing a game, and the people below were caught in the middle and it was difficult to do both.

"Yes, Director Xu's side..."

"Don't worry, let him come to me if you have any problems"

Gu Yanzhi finished drinking a glass of water, and when the second glass was half drunk, Lu Qing took it away.

"Don't drink too much in a short time, drink it after half an hour"

Gu Yanzhi had no choice but to listen to the doctor obediently: "Why are you here today?"

"Come to review"

She looked at the empty ward, Gu Yanyi had lived here alone for more than half a month, except for people from the fire brigade who came to visit her occasionally, everything was deserted.

She hesitated for a moment or asked her doubts: "Where's your family?"

"I'm an orphan." The other party answered quickly, as if he didn't mind this somewhat sensitive question.

Lu Qingshi has seen too many people who feel sorry for themselves because of their tragic life experience, and their faces are surprisingly consistent with cynicism.

Gu Yanzhi was an exception, and his expression was exceptionally calm: "I was in the orphanage until I was five years old, and was taken home by my adoptive father."

"Then he is now?"

"Died in a fire three years ago"

Lu Qingshi was silent: "Sorry..."

Gu Yanzhi, who lost her only family member in the world, was really sad for a long time before she came out of the shadows. However, she is optimistic by nature, and now when she talks about these things, she can only see nostalgia in her eyes.

"Death at one's own post is a worthy death for a firefighter."

Lu Qingshi smiled slightly: "You can think about it."

"Otherwise, life has to pass. Some people say that after death, people will become stars in the sky. In fact, if you think about it this way, as long as it is a clear night, Dad will always be with me."

"And what about a night without stars?"

"Then he is the star in my heart"

"Mom, will I die?" Chemotherapy drugs made the child's black and shiny hair fall out. Lu Qingshi knelt down and held his pale and immature face, kissing his forehead.

"No, with my mother here, nothing will happen to Lele"

Sitting in a wheelchair, the little child reached out and hugged her neck like a little adult: "Mom, don't be sad. Dad said, Lele is a little man. Be strong, protect your mother, and cry when you want to cry." Look up at the stars and the tears will stop falling."

That was the last conversation between her and Lele. After so many years, she still remembered that it was a starry night, Lele was in a wheelchair, and she pushed him to watch the shooting stars by the window.

Regarding Lele, she has never forgotten and never mentioned it, and tried to avoid any topics related to death and life. After being expelled from Xiehe Hospital, she went overseas and returned to China and chose to work at Renji Medical University thousands of miles away from home. There is only one reason: to avoid the Heartbreak.

Her home didn't contain any children's belongings, and there wasn't even a photo of her son's remains. It was so clean that even Qin Xuan complained about it. It wasn't a place for people to live.

She didn't take anything when she left Xiehe, and now she is alone, she deliberately avoided it, and to a certain extent, she had already caused physiological amnesia, if Gu Yanzhi hadn't been seriously injured and was on the verge of death, it would still be the dust in the deepest part of her heart , a touch, dust rustling accompanied by pain overwhelming.

She frowned, suddenly feeling out of breath.

Seeing that she looked wrong, Gu Yanzhi stretched out his hand to grab her wrist: "Doctor Lu, Doctor Lu?"

When Lu Qing came back to his senses, his clothes were soaked in sweat, and his expression was very bad: "What's wrong?"

"I...I want to go to the toilet..."

After waking up, she insisted on not using a catheter, and even if she was seriously ill, she still wanted to maintain the last trace of dignity as a human being.

Lu Qingshi understood and respected her decision, so he stretched out his hand to help her up: "Come on, I'll help you"

"No, no, just call the nurse..." Gu Yanzhi declined, she had already put her hand on her shoulder, and the other hand wrapped around her waist.

Gu Yanzhi had no choice but to stand up along with her: "Please trouble Dr. Lu."

Different from Lu Qingshi's simple ward rounds, Xu Qiankun wanted to call everyone in the department, and use a loudspeaker to announce to the whole hospital: Director Xu of the emergency department is about to start ward rounds.

The scene of a group of low-level medical staff in white coats and leaders gathering in the corridors that is common in medical dramas finally reappeared. After walking for a whole morning, Xu Qiankun had to shake hands with every patient, and Yu Gui rolled his eyes. I feel that he is too talented to be a national leader, rather than a doctor, and I can't help but miss Lu Qingshi's quick fixes in every ward round when he was in charge of the ward. After walking around in a circle, you are basically familiar with it.

It's not like now, just out of the ward: "Oh, the one who just got eleven beds, what are you talking about?"

The attending doctor who followed immediately picked up: "The patient complained of chest pain"

"Contact the imaging department and take a picture to see"

After Xu Qiankun finished speaking, he glanced at his watch: "Okay, let's stop here today, I have surgery in the afternoon, and Dr. Hu will take the rest of the room rounds."

The wall clock on the wall had just passed eleven o'clock, and everyone had no choice but to bow and say goodbye to him: "Director Xu has worked hard."

He took two steps, then suddenly turned his head and looked at everyone frowning, as if he was looking for someone.

Holding the medical record folder, Yu Gui huddled in the crowd, and was caught off guard when his name was called.

"Returning"

All eyes were on her, so she had no choice but to take a step forward: "Director Xu, what are your orders?"

"I heard from Director Lu that you have done a good job recently, and you will be the third assistant for the operation in the afternoon."

Even though it was only the third assistant, it was enough to make her envious and dissatisfied eyes from the same period. She became the apprentice of the head of the department, and was appointed to the stage by another head of the department. What kind of shit luck is this?

Yu Gui complained secretly: "Yes, thank you Director for your cultivation."

It's just Sansuke, she's just helping to attract something, she probably won't be allowed to suture, as far as her suturing skills are concerned, in Lu Qingshi's words: dogs hate it.

She knew how much she weighed, and she didn't want to be ashamed in front of Xu Qiankun.

It was afternoon soon, and Yu Gui and several other assistants went to the operating room early to make preoperative preparations. The anesthesiologist was also in place soon. The instrument pushed over. Unfortunately, Hao Renjie was on stage today, and the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, silently doing the work in hand.

Over there, Yu Gui's seniors started to disinfect the patients and geared up, Yu Gui approached: "Don't wait for Director Xu to come."

The senior brother glanced at her: "Director Xu only does the key parts, and we will finish the rest of the work."

Although Lu Qingshi would occasionally let junior doctors operate the operating room grading system, most of the time people would be there to watch.

Yu Gui nodded, expressing his understanding.

This is a simple case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Her brothers moved quickly and quickly made three holes on the patient's navel, under the xiphoid process, and in the upper right abdomen. Yu Gui helped hold the mirror while doing things. attract.

The chief surgeon was Xu Qiankun's apprentice, an attending physician in his early thirties. Although he was young, he was quite experienced in a tertiary hospital like Renji Medical University, which was full of patients. In addition, the patient had no other complications. It went well.

After incision of the serosa, the trigone of the gallbladder was exposed, the electric hook was switched to mixed cutting mode, and the chief surgeon peeled off the liver tissue little by little to avoid accidental injury.

"Brother, why don't you use electrocoagulation? Isn't it able to reduce bleeding?"

The second assistant next to her gave her a blank look: "Just look at it, this is Director Xu's unique skill, it is not easy to burn the liver tissue with mixed cutting"

"Oh." Yu Gui responded with a drawn out voice.

"Move the sight glass up a bit"

"it is good"

The chief surgeon was operating carefully while observing the big screen. The electric hook gently flipped the gallbladder but suddenly stopped, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

"No, the bile duct is exposed on the surface of the liver. If it cannot be cut, it will cause massive bleeding. Call Director Xu!"

Xu Qiankun heard the news, and observed for a while whether it was the director or the one with two brushes: "The laparoscope was withdrawn, and the instruments needed for thoracotomy were pushed over."

Hao Renjie and the equipment nurse pushed over the needed things and prepared the drainage tube at the same time.

"Scalpel"

"chest opener"

"Unipolar Electric Knife"

A smell of burnt barbecue permeated the air, and Yu Gui began to feel a little sick.

One of the advantages of thoracotomy is that the bleeding can be detected in time and quickly stopped. When the bile duct is stripped, the last thing everyone wants to see still happens.

A large amount of blood poured into the blood recovery tank in an instant, Yu Gui's hand holding the suction device began to tremble, and she turned her head slightly.

Xu Qiankun still calmly pressed the gauze on it: "Give me the absorbable clip"

He explained while doing it: "Don't be afraid when there is heavy bleeding, first use gauze to press it, and then clip it, and be careful not to ligate the right hepatic artery when clipping it, that's all right, that's all."

He took the tissue scissors and cut off the gallbladder and put it in the bend: "Send to the pathologist"

Hao Renjie quickly picked it up and ran out of the operating room.

Xu Qiankun loosened the hemostat that clamped the ascending blood vessel, and no blood flowed into the recovery tank, he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, you young people do the rest, pay attention to loosen the inside and outside when suturing." Tight, otherwise it will be easy to break"

The senior brother who performed the surgery just now was so grateful that he looked at him like a god: "Thank you, Director Xu for teaching."

The second assistant on the side waited for Xu Qiankun to step down and touched her arm: "Did you see, Director Xu's medical skills are good as a person, but I don't know how many times better than Lu Qingshi."

Yu Gui couldn't figure it out, an ordinary cholecystectomy, isn't it the level that a chief physician of a tertiary hospital should achieve?

As for being human...she really can't say.

The anesthesiologist over there is urging them: "Move your hands faster, this patient's cardiopulmonary function is not good, and the anesthesia time is coming."

Yu Gui glanced at the clock on the wall, four hours had passed.

"The equipment nurse counts the amount of gauze and prepares to close the abdomen"

"Okay" The equipment nurse counted it again: "No more, no less, the abdomen can be closed."

"Wait" Yu Gui glanced at the closed operating room door: "The tour operator hasn't come back yet, don't you need to confirm again?"

"There is no time, and if it is delayed, the patient may die on the operating table due to cardiopulmonary failure"

That's the last thing an anesthetist wants to see: "That's right, hurry up"

Yu Gui always felt that something was wrong, he was absent-minded, Hao Renjie finally sent the pathologist back, Yu Gui poked him: "You count the number of gauze again"

Hao Renjie rolled his eyes: "You've watched too many medical dramas, this kind of thing that forgets gauze in a patient's stomach can't happen in our hospital"

Everyone sneered, Yu Gui blushed slightly, but insisted: "Count, count again!"

The doctor who performed the surgery quit: "Hey, newcomer, what do you mean by this, questioning Director Xu's ability or questioning my operation method?"

"I..." Yu Gui poked his neck and said, "I... just want to make sure"

"Confirm what?! You do what you want, come here, let us also experience the suture skills of Director Lu's master apprentice"

Before the chief surgeon could speak, the second assistant pulled her to his position and put the scalpel into her hand.

"I..." Looking at the blood-stained scalpel in his palm, Yu Gui hesitated: "Still...you should do it"

When Lu Qingshi lay down and was about to have a CT scan, her phone rang. She turned over and made an apologetic gesture to the outside: "What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"Ms. Lu, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was temporarily changed to a thoracotomy because the bile ducts adhered to the surface of the liver. Now I am going to close the abdomen, but I think..."

She hesitated for a moment: "When Director Xu stopped the bleeding just now, I saw him stuff a piece of gauze in, but he didn't take it out."

She covered the receiver and spoke cautiously.

After listening to Lu Qing, there was no fluctuation: "I have already suspended my job, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Director Lu, put the phone away." The nurse came in to put away the phone, and she handed the phone to the other party, lying on the CT bed and slowly sending it into the scanning machine.

"It's not a big problem, but it took a long time to cause a slight bone fracture. Don't exercise strenuously recently, just take medicine on time and come back for a review."

The director of orthopedics handed her the film, and Lu Qingshi bowed and thanked her.

When he walked to the corridor of the hospital, he saw Xu Qiankun and several people in suits and leather shoes walking together from a distance, there were men and women.

"Sorry sorry, one operation was delayed, let's go"

"Where is there, Director Xu has a lot of things to do every day, it is our honor to invite Director Xu to dinner"

The female secretary opened the car door for them, Xu Qiankun got in, and the Mercedes-Benz drove away.

Lu Qingshi tightly squeezed the imaging bag in her hand. According to the regulations, she was no longer allowed to enter the operating room, but...

She turned around and put the imaging bag and medicine bottle in her hand into the hands of the passing nurse: "During the emergency Lu Qing, please put me on the triage table, thank you"
