MTL - Wildfire-Chapter 32
There were not many cars left in the staff parking lot, and Tang Suoyan saw two lunch boxes on the roof of his car from a distance. He went over to take it down, looked at the time, it was past eleven o'clock.
Putting the lunch box in the co-driver, he sat in the car and turned off the ignition for the time being, so he sent a message to Tao Xiaodong first.
-have you slept?
Tao Xiaodong immediately replied: No.
Tang Suoyan asked: Give you a call? convenient?
Tao Xiaodong didn't answer, and dialed the phone directly.
As soon as the phone was connected, he called "Brother Yan" first, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Suoyan's voice was a little hoarse after talking all day, the car was very quiet, and his voice was not loud: "It's okay, I just got off work. Why didn't you call me when you came over?"
Tao Xiaodong was lying on the bed and going to sleep, but now he was startled when he heard that Tang Suoyan had just left work, and looked at the time on his phone: "Is it time to leave work now?"
"Well, I've been busy these days." Tang Suoyan said.
"What about now? Where are you?" Tao Xiaodong asked with a frown.
"The parking lot." Tang Suoyan said to him, "I got the lunch box. Have you been waiting for a long time? You should go upstairs to find me."
"I went up and saw that you were busy, so I left again. I ran into a nurse from your department and said that Director Tang was busy these days." Tao Xiaodong sat up, "Then you go home quickly, what are you doing?" Phone? You go home, eat something and rest."
Tang Suoyan was tired at night after a busy day, but now sitting in the car and listening to Tao Xiaodong whispering on the phone, he suddenly felt very comfortable. Just the kind of calmness after busy work, I feel calm and at ease from the inside out.
"I said in the morning that I would call you after get off work. I can't stop talking." Tang Suoyan smiled, "I didn't mean not to reply to your message. If I didn't make a call, it would appear that I was cold to you, no."
"I don't know, you go home quickly." Tao Xiaodong laughed, "Hi", "I told you I'm crazy, I don't think about that, and you don't have to worry about it. Just make a phone call, but don't, just relax, Brother Yan."
Tao Xiaodong was about to get angry: "It's too tiring to be here, so there's really no need. You don't have to call me when you're busy. It's important to have a good rest."
Tang Suoyan listened to him, and whispered after listening, "You made me feel like I should hang up now."
"Hold on," Tao Xiaodong told him, "What time is it and you still haven't come home."
Tang Suoyan called and didn't say a few words, but Tao Xiaodong kept chasing him away. Tang Suoyan was silent for a few seconds, then smiled helplessly, and asked, "I just want to call you, is that okay?"
Tao Xiaodong was also quiet for a few seconds, then smiled and whispered, "That's fine."
The taste of talking like this is different from just now, the two of them didn't speak, and listened to each other's breathing. There is no embarrassment in silence.
After a while Tao Xiaodong asked, "Are you tired?"
"Tired." Tang Suoyan leaned there, his right hand holding the phone felt sore, and he switched to his left hand. "We have a meeting next week. There are too many things to do, and I feel like there is not enough time."
Tao Xiaodong couldn't help him with his work at all, and he couldn't say any words of comfort at this time, since they were all men of this age, needless to say words of comfort, it was useless. When you are busy, you will not calm down just because others say "take your time", and things will not become less because of others' words of comfort.
So Tao Xiaodong just said: "It will be fine if you have been busy for a while, and I will accompany you to relax when you are finished."
"How can I accompany you?" Tang Suoyan asked him.
Originally, Tao Xiaodong was very serious when he said the last sentence, and Tang Suoyan sounded very serious when he asked, but before Tao Xiaodong was about to speak again, his mind suddenly became unserious, and before his voice died down, he asked: "What do you want?" How can I accompany you?"
Tang Suoyan didn't answer or speak, but just laughed twice over the phone.
Tao Xiaodong sat on his bed and scratched his ears, and said, "You go home, okay? It's almost half past eleven, and you got home too late. I was already busy, so you should take more time to sleep." .”
Tang Suo said "Yes", and then asked, "Do you talk to everyone like that?"
"How to say?" Tao Xiaodong asked.
"Just..." Tang Suoyan said with a smile in his voice, "Coax?"
"Of course not!" Tao Xiaodong quickly denied, "Isn't it messed up if I talk to everyone like that? If I talk to customers like this, I will cause more trouble."
Tang Suoyan still smiled after hearing this, scratched the steering wheel with his right hand, and said, "Got it."
I get off work in the middle of the night every day, and I have to get up before dawn in the morning. This kind of life has to last until the end of the annual meeting.
In addition to the exchange of updated technologies and methods at the meeting, there must also be a discussion on the treatment plan for difficult cases this year, and the success or failure must be shown.
Catch up with such a critical time, the retired veteran cadre made troubles in the ward every day, yelling at Tang Suoyan whenever his eyes hurt. No big or small accident, if it is big, no one can guarantee that the operation will be successful, and there is a risk of failure, but if it is small, it is indeed caused by the doctor's misjudgment.
If Tang Suoyan had agreed to remove the stitches, it wouldn't even be considered an accident. It was because the doctor had failed to predict the timing of removing the stitches. The problem was that the doctor on duty removed it without the consent of the attending doctor. If Tang Suoyan got through the phone at that time, it would be impossible for him to remove it. Indeed, it was too early to remove it.
Not to mention that this kind of thing happens every day in the hospital, but with so many departments, there must be several cases every month. Hospitals generally do not take the initiative to ask for accountability, and they are not very good at asking Tang Suoyan. Dr. Lin, who was on duty, stayed in the department just after his rotation last year, and his experience was too inexperienced. This time, I also knew that I was in trouble. When I wrote the summary of the process, I skipped the matter of calling Tang Suoyan but couldn't get through, and wrote "the attending doctor has not been contacted".
After reading it, Tang Suoyan went back and asked him to write it down.
Dr. Lin couldn't figure out whether he really thought so or just said it, so he persisted for a while.
Tang Suoyan told him, "You can write whatever you want."
Dr. Lin was afraid that Tang Suoyan would be held responsible for what he wrote. After all, he didn't get through the phone at the time. The young doctor blamed himself and wanted to pick Director Tang clean.
Facing such a blank sheet of paper, Tang Suoyan didn't know what attitude to use when talking to him. The little doctor still thinks that Tang Suoyan's phone is turned off, and wants to cover it up for him.
Tang Suoyan has been so busy these days that he has not had time to deal with this matter. The little doctor has been worried for many days and is quite helpless.
It is said that it is small, and now it can become a doctor in the hospital, no matter how small it can be, no one can be more than thirty. How old are they after they graduated with a Ph.
When Tang Suoyan was their age, he was brought back from abroad by Mr. Xu himself, and half asked and half forced to let him return to China and go back to the clinic. The teacher went to his residence in person, and the two chatted for seven or eight hours, a lot.
Tang Suoyan has a responsibility on his body, and he has never been relaxed since he came back. No one treats him as a white paper, and he doesn't need it.
While blaming himself, Dr. Lin also felt aggrieved. I felt that I was pushed into that situation at that time, the director could not be contacted, the patient couldn't afford it, and I didn't know what to do. He is a little lady who speaks lightly, and is just a punching bag in the middle.
He looked at Tang Suoyan carefully, and asked tentatively: "Director, then you said that in this situation... what should I do right?"
Tang Suoyan flipped through the case sheet in his hand, without raising his head, and said to him, "Continue to call me."
Dr. Lin blinked, thinking that I can't get through if you shut down the phone.
Tang Suoyan said: "I never turn off the phone."
The other party asked: "What if I really can't contact you?"
Tang Suoyan raised his head and said, "Call other doctors. There are so many attending doctors in the glaucoma group, anyone is fine, even if you call Professor Xu. I have little experience in clinical judgment and my basic skills are not solid, so you have to find someone who can judge of."
Having said that, it seems very incompetent to call everywhere. After get off work, the doctor on duty will not call the doctors who are off duty, and it will not affect people's rest unless it is absolutely necessary.
"It's more convenient, you can also contact the emergency department and ask a doctor to come over and take a look. The emergency department is full of mature doctors." Tang Suoyan said calmly, "Did you think about the possible consequences before you removed the stitches that day?"
The other party nodded hesitantly.
Tang Suoyan said: "I knew it was demolished. Because the patient persisted? Annoyed? With a bit of revenge, I signed a liability waiver agreement. Anyway, you are the one who wants to demolish it. It has nothing to do with me if it is broken. Right?"
He didn't dare to answer these words, Dr. Lin quickly shook his head and said no.
Tang Suoyan shook his head, stopped him from continuing, and only said: "I'm an official doctor, not an intern, you don't need to tell me if it is or not, as long as you know it in your own mind. The patient is in your hands, and you have to be right under any circumstances. He is responsible, and any wrong actions you make with an unstable mentality may cause the patient's vision loss or even blindness."
Dr. Lin lowered his head and said nothing. Tang Suoyan had a lot of things waiting, and he didn't have time to say too much.
"I won't tell you about the compassion that a doctor should have, and I don't need you to recall Hippocrates that you memorized back then. Just remember one thing, why you became an ophthalmologist."
Tang Suoyan stood up and was about to leave the office. Dr. Lin looked at him. Tang Suoyan said: "Insufficient knowledge can be made up for, but consciousness cannot be made up for. Don't intentionally give up a patient because of that young self-esteem. You are giving away, don't Take away the light."
That being said, Tang Suoyan really doesn't have time to guide a young man on how to be a good doctor.
Being an angel for two days a day is what Tang Suoyan does at this time of the year.
The full body picture in Tao Xiaodong's hand came to an end temporarily, and Tang Suoyan was still busy.
The two haven't seen each other for three weeks, and Tang Suoyan hasn't seen each other since his birthday. Tao Xiaodong couldn't see anyone, and it started to rain in the past two days. Tao Xiaodong was worried that the rain didn't stop, which made people worry.
Taking advantage of the short break for dinner in the evening, Tang Suoyan saw the message Tao Xiaodong had just sent him, and the two made a phone call.
On the phone, Tao Xiaodong asked, "It's been raining heavily for the past two days, does your hand hurt?"
Tang Suoyan was about to say it didn't hurt, but when he spoke, he turned a corner and said frankly, "It hurts."
"Does it hurt?" Tao Xiaodong sat on the stool at the door of the shop watching the rain outside, stepped on the chair leg, and frowned a little, "I'm afraid your hand hurts, there are too many things to do."
Tao Xiaodong was really worried, Tang Suoyan smiled and said: "Just kidding, it doesn't hurt that much."
Tao Xiaodong thought for a while, and asked Tang Suoyan to give him half an hour at noon. Tang Suoyan asked, "Are you coming?"
"Ah," Tao Xiaodong asked him, "is that all right?"
"Don't worry about it, the weather is bad and there is traffic jam." Tang Suoyan told him, "I'm almost done."
Someone came to talk to him behind him, Tao Xiaodong nodded his head to indicate yes, and asked Tang Suoyan on the phone: "Are you free?"
Tang Suo said, "I'm free, but I don't want you to make trouble."
"Then you leave me for half an hour." Tao Xiaodong leaned closer to the door again, speaking in a low voice, and a group of annoying people in the store heard him talking and had to learn every day.
Tang Suoyan really didn't want him to come, and Tao Xiaodong himself had a lot of things to do, and he always went to the hospital just for those few minutes, so it wasn't worth it.
Tao Xiaodong heard him not talking, closed his eyes, and lowered his voice: "I haven't seen Brother Yan for three weeks, and we haven't gotten to know each other that well."
Di also suddenly coughed loudly twice behind him, Tao Xiaodong looked back, and even hid from the door but did not dodge. He smiled helplessly, and simply stopped hiding, and said openly, "I just want to go."
"Oh, I just want to go, where do you want to go." Di is also ready to work, put on the mask on his face, grab the mask with his hands, and imitate what he just said, "I want to go, I want to go."
Tao Xiaodong cursed silently with a smile, opened the door and called at the door.
Tang Suoyan could hear their voices, and he could also hear the rain around after Tao Xiaodong went out.
Who could refuse Tao Xiaodong like this, he couldn't even open his mouth to refuse him.
At noon the next day, Tang Suoyan got into Tao Xiaodong's car in a white coat without changing his clothes. There was only a layer of shirt inside the white coat. It was quite cold in this season, so Tang Suoyan quickly got into the car.
Tao Xiaodong opened the lunch box and handed it over, looked at Tang Suoyan and said, "I lost weight."
"I didn't pay attention." Tang Suoyan held the spoon with his left hand, and supported the lunch box with his right hand weakly, basically with his bent fingers.
Tao Xiaodong kept watching him eat, and asked, "How many more days?"
"I'll have nothing to do next week." Tang Suoyan was also used to using his left hand, and used it very naturally.
After he finished eating, Tao Xiaodong put away the lunch box, got out of the car and took a pocket from the back seat.
A dry towel, a thermos, and a water-proof bag.
He was wearing a sweater, and when he bent over to pour hot water on the towel, the hat slipped a little on his neck. Tang Suoyan looked at him from the car window, watching him get himself a hand of water, but he didn't care, put the hot towel into the water-proof bag and got on the car.
Put the things back in the back seat, smiled and reached out to Tang Suoyan: "Give me your hand."
Tang Suoyan stretched out his right hand silently.
Tao Xiaodong held his right hand, his fingers were cold. Tao Xiaodong frowned, unbuttoned his shirt sleeves, and pushed them up.
There was a scar from the wrist to the forearm, which was the first time Tao Xiaodong saw it.
The water-proof bag was attached to the wrist, and it was a little hot at first touch. Tang Suoyan's hand had been in pain for two days, and it was sore and numb. At this moment, Tao Xiaodong was so hot that his fingertips trembled, and his heart also burned.
"I'll squeeze it for you in a while." Tao Xiaodong's palm was very hot, and he held Tang Suoyan in a natural way, and even moved his fingers from time to time to change positions.
"Mr. Tao." Tang Suoyan looked at him for a long time and kept looking at him, then suddenly called out and asked him, "Have you ever chased someone before?"
"I used to chase little girls when I was young," Tao Xiaodong smiled casually. "Later, my parents died, and I had to raise my younger brother. I don't have the mood to chase people, I don't have that leisure time."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
Tang Suoyan looked down at his hands, and also at Tao Xiaodong's.
Tao Xiaodong's fingers were a little dirty, he smiled and said, "I rubbed the paint on in the morning, and it didn't wash off, so it looks dirty."
Tang Suoyan wiped it with his fingers.
Tao Xiaodong retracted his fingertips slightly, Tang Suoyan's hands were too clean.
Tang Suoyan breathed a sigh of relief, and Tao Xiaodong asked him, "Is it hot?"
"I'm a bit overwhelmed." Tang Suoyan said something that didn't sound right.
"Huh?" Tao Xiaodong looked at him.
Tang Suoyan looked at him, lowered his eyes and smiled before saying anything: "You seem to treat me like a little girl."
Tao Xiaodong blinked, and his mind quickly turned twice, knowing what Tang Suoyan meant without asking.
"You don't like this?" Tao Xiaodong asked.
Tang Suo said no.
Tao Xiaodong turned Tang Suoyan's wrist in the other direction, heated up one side and ironed the other, and said, "I didn't treat you as a little girl, but I treated you as my younger brother."
Tao Xiaodong himself couldn't help but say: "I know you are older than me."
"Before you told me that you have a lot of mind, and it must be enough for one person." Tang Suoyan looked at Tao Xiaodong's hand holding the towel. Due to the relationship between the posture, the muscles under the **** and ring finger tensed up, and the corners of Tang Suoyan's mouth He raised an arc and said, "I see."
Tao Xiaodong laughed at first, and then said: "I didn't play tricks on you, it's all true."
