()(Thank you~~~~ Dear friends, you are so awesome, you are so strong~~~ Tears~~~ Little vampire, I am so dirty~~~~)
When I woke up again that day, I found myself lying on a hospital bed, with many tubes and wires connected to my head and body, and several instruments making "pi-, pi-" sounds one after another. And, up and down.
There was something like gauze padded between the lips and gums, which was very uncomfortable.
I twisted my neck hard, and the first thing I saw was a frogman. The so-called "frogman" did not refer to a diver wearing a diving suit, but an old man in a white coat who looked like a frog. He had thin arms and legs.
He has a small head and small feet, but he has a belly that sticks out like an Amitabha Buddha. It gave him a sense of perspective when he looked at this person's face while lying on the bed that day.
"Are you awake?" The old man greeted me in front of the bed that day. Although he was smiling, his eyes hidden behind the glass lenses were flickering. At first glance, he was not a good person.
I only glanced at him that day and immediately closed my eyes.
He clearly remembered that what he saw before was two masses of white wrapped in white, squeezing each other, forming a bottomless and beautiful ravine, constantly twisting, as if dancing. How could he blink in the blink of an eye?
In a short time, the white color wrapped in white color turned into such a froggy old man?
"Huh? Haven't you woken up yet?" The old man's voice was also that of a bad old man. Added to that annoying "p--, p--" sound, the few remaining sounds of warblers and swallows on the eardrums that day were shattered into pieces.
"Then why don't you sleep a little longer and get more rest."
It was unbearable! That day he stood up, glared at the old man, and said sternly: "Zhou! Are you done yet?!"
The old man had a smile on his face: "You are confused because my surname is not Zhou..."
"Stop pretending! Don't think that I can't recognize you if you put on glasses and a white coat! Everyone calls you Duke Zhou, who else is so despicable besides you?!" He shouted angrily that day,
"For more than twenty years, you have never sent me a good dream! It's rare that I don't want to dream today, and you had to drag me here. Not only did you put a good young man on the hospital bed, but you also shamelessly used your
Personal portraits destroy the beauty in the minds of young people! Now I finally understand, no wonder people often say that dreams are reversed!"
"You're wrong, you're not dreaming." The old man's face showed some pity, "Did he even have a brain injury? This is the first time I have encountered this situation in so many years."
He had nothing to say to this old bastard who only dreamed all day long, so that day he decided to play a cruel trick. He put his lower lip over his lower teeth, opened his mouth wide and was about to bite it. Usually this trick would definitely drive away Duke Zhou.
Suddenly, he felt that the gauze padding his mouth was in the way, so he reached out and pulled it out.
"Ah——" As he moved, he let out a miserable cry. Something in his mouth pricked the soft inner lip, causing him to close his eyes tightly in pain, and he gasped with a "hiss——" and burst into tears.
It's almost leaking out. What's growing in your mouth? Does it hurt so much? However, it's time for Zhou Gong to wake up from his nightmare?
"Oops, why did you pull out the gauze?" The old man hurriedly stepped forward, stood up on tiptoes, stretched out his hands, and lifted up the upper and lower lips of the day. "Be patient for a while, wait for the nurse to come, and give it again.
Please fill it out."
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." (Why are you still here? I feel so much pain.) Because my lips were held by the old man, I couldn't even cover the sore spot with my hands that day.
While frowning, grinning and hissing, he protested vaguely.
"Now you should believe it? You are not dreaming." The old frog didn't know whether he understood what he said that day. He smiled to himself and said: "My surname is Qian, and I am your attending doctor."
Being carried like this, I couldn't speak. That day I reached out and touched the two pieces of gauze that I had thrown away earlier, and stuffed them into my mouth without caring about hygiene.
Dr. Qian frowned when he saw it, but seeing that it had been stuffed that day, he had to let go: "You fainted in a restaurant. It was your friends who called me to find me, and then we sent you to
Came to the hospital."
"I fainted from hunger. How can I die? (I fainted, why should I keep my mouth shut?)" The gauze was just stuffed into my mouth casually, and my pronunciation that day was still very problematic.
"Try not to talk, and I will explain it to you slowly." Dr. Qian said slowly, "It's not a serious illness that you fainted, but you had nosebleeds while you fainted. Your friends tried many ways.
I couldn't stop your bleeding or wake you up. So, when I arrived, you had suffered from severe anemia due to excessive blood loss and were in critical condition."
On that day, similar situations had happened several times in my career of more than 20 years. Generally speaking, you can wake up by pinching the person. If you have a nosebleed, put some cotton in it, massage the bridge of the nose, and rest for a while.
Stop it. Why did it get so serious this time? A nosebleed to the point of dying?
"We immediately sent you to Pearl Island No. 1 Health Center. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and we successfully controlled your nosebleed. Now that you are awake, the treatment in this area has come to an end." Dr. Qian sighed.
The conversation changed, "But, during the treatment, we gave you a little blood transfusion. Ah, there is nothing we can do about it, you lost too much blood. You are infected..."
When I heard this that day, I got up and the gauze in my mouth was no longer in the way: "AIDS, SARS cancer?"
"Haha, don't be so nervous. It's not that serious. You are just infected with an endemic disease called 'Pearl Island Disease', which is not fatal." Dr. Qian soothed him as he lay on the bed that day, and continued, "The main clinical symptoms of this disease are
The manifestation is teething. You may have noticed that there is one tooth growing on each of the four corners directly in front of your upper and lower gums. It's just that, it's not harmful."
That day, I gently licked the periphery of my gums with my tongue, and sure enough I found four sharp little teeth. So it turned out that these four teeth were stabbing me just now?!
"Because the teeth are still small now, they can easily hurt your lips." Doctor Qian pointed to his lips and continued to explain, "When they grow in, this situation will no longer happen and it will not affect your speech.
Eat something.”
After hearing this that day, I felt calm and stood up again. With a voice that was a hundred times clearer than before, I solemnly asked: "Are there any compensation for those who were infected in your hospital?"
"Haha, first of all, although I am your attending doctor, I do not belong to Pearl Island No. 1 Health Center." Dr. Qian took out a business card from the pocket of his white coat and handed it to Tian Tian, "My name is Qian Hao. I am from Pearl Island."
The director of the Island Dental Defense Center."
Qian Hao took the business card that day and was looking down at it when he said again: "As I said before, your original disease has been treated, and now the remaining disease is dental disease, so you were transferred to our dental clinic. Due to dental disease,
There is a lack of large-scale examination equipment, so you are staying in the health center for the time being."
Do you need to be hospitalized for dental disease? And you need to be connected to so many instruments? That day, I couldn’t help but look at the hanging, placed, large and small equipment around me.
"You don't have to worry about these instruments. You have been ill for a short time and the disease is rapid. I just want to collect some data and do pathological research. These instruments are not directly related to your disease." Qian Hao helped Tian Tian back to the bed again, "We will
Having said that, because I am not a doctor in this hospital, I dare to tell you the truth, you were infected here. If you change the doctor in this hospital, he would die and refuse to say so."
Oh, what a shameless person? "Then I can't sue them?"
"Some people have complained, but it's useless. There is insufficient evidence." Qian Hao didn't seem to care at all whether he would be heard by someone passing by outside the ward. He still introduced unhurriedly, "Since the discovery of Pearl Island disease, there have been twenty-five cases.
Over the past year and a half, I have been one of the first medical staff to participate in the research and treatment of this strange disease."
That was the expert level, and I felt a little more at ease that day. Although teething is not a big deal, and the most you can do is to spend some money to remove it, but with expert treatment, of course you can rest assured.
"The first batch of patients discovered were all sick after receiving blood transfusions at the First Health Center. Therefore, we suspect that the blood bank of the health center was contaminated, and the patients were infected with a certain virus during the blood transfusion process, causing
Gene mutation." Qian Hao found a chair and sat down in front of the bed that day. "For this reason, the health center replaced the entire blood storage and blood transfusion system, and brought in brand-new blood from outside the island, but the situation did not improve.
"
Aren't they just a few extra teeth? Why did you put so much effort into it? That day, you licked the new teeth again and thought disapprovingly, is this how the medical insurance fund is being consumed?
"In addition, the first patients were all of type O blood. We also suspected that there was a problem with the island's food chain. For example, changes in soil quality caused the vegetables to mutate. After people with type O blood ate the mutated vegetables, their blood underwent certain mutations.
Later, through blood transfusion, other people's blood was mixed into the body, which eventually caused the onset of Pearl Island disease.
We immediately stopped the supply of all food produced on the island, including drinking water, and even brought in tap water from outside the island, but the number of sick people continues to increase, and patients with blood types other than type O are also gradually increasing."
The more I listened that day, the more I felt something was wrong. Are you working so hard just for these teeth?
"Your arrival completely negates this possibility. You received a blood transfusion within four hours of your arrival on our Pearl Island, and then became ill. Even if you ate and drank like crazy after landing on the island, you would not have been able to survive in such a short period of time.
Mutating the blood. Therefore, the food chain can also be ruled out..."
"Wait, wait." Dr. Qian interrupted his talk that day, "Professor Qian, does this 'Pearl Island Disease' have other symptoms besides teething?"
"Sorry, I'm not a professor yet, just an associate professor." Qian Hao pointed to the business card he was holding in his hand that day. It probably had the title "associate professor" printed on it. "The main reason for this disease is that it is longer than others."
Four teeth. As for the other things - your living habits may change slightly, and you will know gradually."
???What kind of living habits will change when teeth grow? Will I be unable to brush my teeth from now on?
"Don't be too nervous. It's just a slight change. It won't have much impact. You'll get used to it soon."
When a doctor says how serious your illness is, he is usually exaggerating to the point where only H2O is left. Similarly, when he says your illness is extremely mild... in short, don't believe him.
That day I asked weakly: "Associate Professor Qian, can this disease... be cured?"
"You should still call me 'Doctor Qian'." Qian Hao said with a smile: "No need for treatment, just wait for those four teeth to fall out naturally."
"So how long will it take for this tooth to fall out?"
"Well - theoretically speaking, once all the teeth have grown in, they may fall out." Qian Hao's lenses flashed again. "If it's quick, it will take two or three weeks."
That day, Tian Tian didn't fall for his trick: "Dr. Qian, stop talking theoretically and talk about practical matters?"
"Well——, judging from the medical records I have, the fastest is seventy-two days."
Seventy-two days is two and a half months, and the difference between theory and practice is not very big.
"What about the slowest one?"
"Uh--, as I get older, these teeth will always fall out..."
No need to listen anymore, Qian Hao interrupted Qian Hao bluntly that day: "Dr. Qian, how much do you charge for tooth extraction here?"
"That's not a problem. The problem is that these four teeth will grow back after they are extracted, unless they fall out naturally."
"……." That means you have to wait until you get old.
He didn't say anything that day, and Qian Hao waited patiently for him.
"I have decided that I still want to apply for compensation." After thinking over and over again that day, he said resolutely.
"If it can be proven that the disease is indeed caused by blood transfusion, of course we can ask the health center for compensation. But now the cause is unknown. Although we all suspect that the problem lies in the health center, there is a lack of evidence." Qian Hao smiled bitterly, "In other words, you
The disease may be primary."
"……."
"……."
"Dr. Qian, are all the patients infected after receiving blood transfusions at Pearl Island No. 1 Health Center?"
"That was true at first, but now - more than twenty years have passed, um - this disease is hereditary."
Will it be inherited? Will it harm future generations? It was decided that day to increase the amount of compensation required.
"Does that mean all the patients who received blood transfusions in this hospital suffered from Pearl Island disease?"
"No, no." Qian Hao quickly replied, "In the past twenty years, there has been an exception..."
"One case..." He almost fainted again that day, "You knew there was a problem with this hospital, but you still sent me here? Wouldn't you send me to the second or third health center? Don't every hospital
Do all health centers distribute this unfortunate disease?"
"You misunderstood, 'No. 1' is just a name." Qian Hao was not anxious at all and replied easily, "Pearl Island is a small place. Apart from our dental clinic, there are only two general hospitals."
"This is the first one, what's wrong with the other one?"
"That's not a problem, but it's a pet hospital. It mainly treats patients like cats and dogs."
"……."
What a bully! What kind of misfortune has happened to me? I fainted inexplicably and contracted a strange disease for no reason. Not only was there no compensation, but it was even impossible to switch to a different hospital for treatment. Moreover, there was no guarantee that it would affect future children and grandchildren.
Sun.
That day was the first time in his life that he had been admitted to the hospital, but from the moment he woke up to now, he hadn't even seen half a beautiful nurse. Wasn't he staying in the hospital in vain?
Qian Hao also said something that he didn't listen to that day. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became. He was so aggrieved that he almost cried. So he reached out and wiped it on his face.
"You still hit me, right?"
The face I touched that day was extremely swollen, and the slightest touch with my fingers caused excruciating pain. Moreover, it felt like a washboard, with sharp edges.
"Oh, I didn't hit you." Qian Hao smiled from beginning to end, "It was your friends who hit you."
"Friend?" Are there any friends who are so ruthless?
"Dudu." The door of the ward was knocked at this time.
