Chapter 4 I'm sick
"Acquaintances" and "friends" are always popular in this society, and no one knows when they will be able to help. Hospitals are no exception. Therefore, although Liu Tianming's actions violated the hospital's regulations, Zhang Deliang and Qian Guangsheng had no intention of stopping them. It felt like an acquaintance came to his home and borrowed the toilet at will to facilitate it.
Use a straw to extract blood, carefully drop it on the slide, add diluent, mix well, stuff the slide into an electron microscope, and adjust the knob... A microscopic world that is completely different from reality suddenly appeared in front of Liu Tianming's eyes.
Between the flat red blood cells, occasionally there are huge white blood cells that look like squids. They float on the water like swimming lice, layered up and down. In addition to these two basic cells that make up blood, there is also a strange existence with a shape similar to sea urchins and a dense and sharp bulge on the surface. Its size is slightly larger than the white blood cells, an oval shape, and it swims slowly. Once a red blood cell passes by, the sharp needle immediately extends out and pierces it through.
This strange cell seemed to feed on blood. Just under Liu Tianming's gaze, three red blood cells had been continuously pierced and swallowed in five seconds. That fierce and fierce movement was like a wolve who rushed into a flock of sheep and wanted to kill.
Seeing this scene, Liu Tianming felt his heart suddenly tightening. He couldn't help but chill, and moved his eyes away from the microscope like an electric shock, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the thin slide containing red blood spots under the camera with blank expression.
Zhang Deliang had already put on a mask and carefully took out a box of freshly washed petri dishes from the disinfection box. Qian Guangsheng, who was sitting in front of the desk, picked up a test form, shook his head contemptuously at a urine test sample, sneered and rewritten the word "positive" in the blank space in the lower right corner, casually swept his fingers outside the round order reception window.
Zhang Deliang is cautious at all times and rarely offends others. In contrast, Qian Guangsheng seems strange in nature, especially with a natural indifference to women. It is said that he likes to hear a woman get pregnant unexpectedly. Moreover, the word "positive" on the test sheet is also written very well.
They didn't see the strangeness on Liu Tianming's face, nor did they notice when he left the laboratory. Especially Qian Guangsheng, he was always staring at the slender woman in a miniskirt sitting opposite the laboratory window. It seemed that his tiny eyes had X-ray functions and could see through.
Beauty.
As a man, it's understandable.
...
Hospital office.
In order to match the weather forecast that the temperature during the day is as high as 29 degrees Celsius today, the sun is vigorously releasing energy, baking the earth like a furnace, and staring at these poor and humble creatures on the earth with a hideous face.
Liu Tianming vigorously unzipped the lid of a bottle of "amoxicillin", shook out six red and white packaging capsules, and swallowed all the smooth gadgets with the hot water just taken from the water dispenser.
There is no doubt that he is sick. Liu Tianming is very sure of this.
As for the cause... it should not be a common upper respiratory tract infection, but the blood stained from the patient during the rescue process in the car that night.
A beam of sunlight shone through the window and shone on his face, with a slightly pale color floating on it.
Thanks to the uninterrupted morning jogging and training in college, Liu Tianming had wide shoulders and a thick body as if it were a sandy wall. His overall figure was very well-proportioned and full of strength. His face was almost always smiling, and he was gentle in his attitude towards others, which always made people feel that there seemed to be a warm sunshine.
For some reason, during this period, Liu Tianming always subconsciously thought of the strange patient's face, and felt chill all over. The violent and cruel weird cells under the microscope seemed to be opening their mouths and gnawing on their hearts.
Most of the data on the test form are normal, and the only abnormal one is that the hemoglobin is low. For men of his age, the normal value should be 130-180g/L, while the current test results are only 60-70g/L, less than half.
Anemia, very serious anemia.
Liu Tianming himself did not believe this result. In order to prevent mistakes, he took out two other blood samples from himself and entrusted Zhang Hongliang and another on-duty staff to verify it in the names of others. The results showed that the inspection numbers of the three documents did not differ, and it was exactly the same.
Today is Thursday, according to the schedule, you can take turns to rest tomorrow.
The quartz clock hand hanging on the wall has already walked past 4:25 pm. Compared with the busy and chaotic scenes everywhere in the morning, the internal medicine clinic on the third floor seems very empty. On the green chair in the corridor, there is only a patient with a recess hanging a high place for infusion.
The expert in the department had already got off work half an hour ago. Today it was an old man named Gu who was on the clinic. It is said that he was a master who had paid a lot of money from other places and had great experience in treating liver diseases. As a fledgling student, Liu Tianming also worshiped him as a god. However, he later discovered that Old Man Gu treated all patients equally, and without exception, the prescription signs were all the herbs with simple ingredients, but was widely praised by Gu as a "special secret recipe."
Whenever Gu Experts go to work, there are always one or two patients who have just recovered from serious illnesses who appear in the internal medicine clinic when the crowds are the most. They always say a lot of words of gratitude, and give thick red envelopes or high-end gifts that are valuable to their relatives. Old Man Gu always refuses coldly and decisively, not to mention scoldings like "Doctors save the world is the original intention"... In this way, the red envelopes and gifts keep passing by. In the end, the patients who are determined to express their gratitude are replaced by banners such as "rebirth parents", "Xinglin masters", and "hanging pots to save the world" and are densely posted on the wall.
As these people came too often, Liu Tianming naturally looked familiar. Once after get off work, he heard a young patient calling old man Gu “Second uncle” on the bus stop outside the hospital.
The kid's medical record shows that he suffers from severe hepatitis B, an old patient who often comes and goes in the clinic. He also gave Gu Expert a banner with a "rejuvenation of life".
Instead of believing in such a so-called expert, it is better to go directly to the pharmacy to buy medicine by yourself according to the instructions.
The red Angry Birds on the computer were flying everywhere, and the green pig's head hid in the depths of the dilapidated house and laughed more and more vulgarly. Various bright colors gradually turned into colorful particles in Liu Tianming's eyes, slowly overlapping with the familiar penicillin, streptomycin, and cephalosporin, turning into non-substantial pills.
Taking antibiotics and blood-replenishing agents in large quantities is the only thing he can do at the moment.
Liu Tianming doesn't want to be the carrier of "strange diseases". Whether in medical school or internship, he has seen too many cases of severely ill patients being despised and avoided. The nurses keep away from you, while the doctors regard it as the best prop for clinical trials, and the family simply ignores it. As for nonsense like "the treatment effect is good", "have confidence in the doctor and yourself", "strengthen fight against the disease", I'm afraid even those who say it themselves will not believe it.
Take medicine for a few days to see the situation. If the cells in the body still maintain this strange state, Liu Tianming can only go to other hospitals and seek medical treatment with his disguised identity.
...
During the break from get off work, Kunming City is full of crowds and crowds.
Liu Tianming was lucky. He squeezed onto the bus and the person in the seat next to him just stood up. He immediately sat down quickly, secretly glad that he could relax during this long and difficult time on the way home and take a nap.
The eyelids became heavier and heavier. Relying on the last trace of Qingming, the ears that barely listened to the radio station name, and the brain that strongly demanded to sleep soundly, biting like a life-and-death opponent... Liu Tianming's head was drooping very low, shaking back and forth with the rhythm of the car body. His neck seemed to be overwhelmed with pitiful branches, dragging his heavy head hard to prevent it from breaking free from its top and falling.
"Bang!"
A touch caused by a hard object spread from the left cheek close to the eyes. It was not very painful, but Su Hao still tried to lift his sour eyelids, trying to see what he had encountered through the haze?
At this moment, the bus wheels quickly ran through a pit on the road, and the body of the car bounced up from the ground with huge force, shaking left and right. The passengers in the car screamed at the same time, but they only swayed back and forth with the car for a few times without any danger, and then returned to dullness and calmness.
The unexpected tumbling made Liu Tianming's cheek hit the unknown hard object again. This time it hit very hard and had a great force. The left cheekbones of the injured part seemed to be completely shattered, and it hurts heartily.
It was a black faucet.
To be precise, it should be a thick wooden crutch—the top of the hand held is the transverse part that is vertically connected to the wooden stick. This thing is so rough that the faucet looks similar to the pig's head that has just undergone weight loss surgery.
The crutch is a lifeless dead object. Its handle is firmly held in a hand wrapped in countless wrinkles, as old as a dead tree root. In the order upward, you can see an old woman with a short and fat body, bulging cheekbones forward and hunched back.
Half of her body had already stood in the space in front of the seat, almost completely filling the space of Liu Tianming and the front seat back. Especially the crutch held in her right hand, which was obliquely stuck on the ground, and the hard raised faucet at the top was shaking back and forth in front of Liu Tianming as the body bumped. The distance was no more than two centimeters at most.
Liu Tianming subconsciously sat upright, turned his head away, and instinctively looked around the old woman.
The carriage was very crowded, but it did not reach the exaggeration of the sealed canned sardines. The old woman still had at least half a square meter of space behind her. The reason why she maintained her current standing posture was actually very obvious: she was to use this seemingly reasonable method to force herself to wake up.
She deliberately came up with the crutch and placed it in this position. The person who is sleeping in a coma will shake his head from side to side, and the chance of automatically hitting it is very high. As long as the car body shakes a little, Liu Tianming's head will hit him hard.
"Hmph! Young people today are really not qualified, and they won't give up their seats when they see the elderly. I feel embarrassed for your parents!"
The wrinkles on the old woman's face were as deep as a knife. She blinked her eyes and kept flipping her thin lips that were sank inward because of her lack of teeth. The loud voice of her speech made everyone around her look here. The old woman, who became the focus of attention, became more and more proud. She stomped her crutches in protest, staring at Liu Tianming with a cold, sharp, and commanding gaze.
Give up your seat?
You actually asked me to give up my seat in this way?
The left face, which was hit hard by the dragon head, still felt ache, but Liu Tianming had no intention of arguing with him. If possible, he would rather pull off the old woman's head, use her teeth to bite the flesh on the other person's neck, and drink blood wildly.
Me, how could I have such a thought?
He twisted his neck hard to restore his confusing thinking nerves to normal. The bus happened to be standing at this time. Liu Tianming stood up as fast as possible. Before the impatient old woman could sit down, he had already burst into a mouthful of thick phlegm from his throat, spitting it accurately on the surface of the green seat, and then stepped out of the back door.
If you are bullied, of course you have to fight back.
It doesn’t matter if the people around you don’t like it, as long as you understand what’s going on, that’s enough.
