2836 Old and helpless (1)
Zhou chunyong did not enter the operating room.
He did not pay much attention to it. It was obvious that those who could stay in the operating theater were at the level of the hospital director, and this was the minimum restriction. Even if it were hospital director Bao, he would probably only be able to stand by the side. Why did he go in? was he being ordered around?
Zhou chunyong kept an eye on the time as he sat outside the operating room. Boss Zheng said that the surgery would be completed within an hour, so there should not be any problems.
He had full trust in boss Zheng. Otherwise, Zhou chunyong wouldn’t have used one of his biggest cards to fight for the research cooperation project.
Zhou chunyong held his phone in his hand as he looked back and forth between the operating theater door and the time on his phone. Time passed by slowly, but the door of the operating room was still tightly closed. There was no movement at all.
No one’s surgery could be completed so quickly in the morning, so there was no situation where the operating room door was opened only to find that it was someone else’s surgery that had been completed. An hour passed by quickly, and Zhou chunyong could no longer sit still.
Was there a mistake in the surgery? Even if the time taken for the patient to wake up from general anesthesia and the rest time in the recovery room after the surgery were taken into account, it was not impossible for there to be no one coming out.
If the surgery was successful, at least some of the miscellaneous people should have left. There would not be no one left.
It was as if there was a piece of charcoal under his butt, and Zhou chunyong felt uneasy.
He sent a message to Gao Shaojie, but there was no reply. Gao Shaojie should still be in surgery, because he didn’t bring his phone.
Sigh, could it be that boss Zheng’s surgery had failed? Zhou chunyong had been thinking about this since an hour after the old man was pushed into the operating room.
The thoughts became more and more intense, to the point that it was difficult to contain them. As he waited uneasily, the shadow in Zhou chunyong’s heart grew larger and larger, gradually becoming the size of a three-bedroom apartment.
He told boss Zheng not to do the surgery, but boss Zheng refused to listen. Zhou chunyong nagged in his heart. People were all the same. If they succeeded, they were the ones who were wise and brilliant. If they failed, it was all the fault of others.
Even with Zhou chunyong’s almost unreserved trust in boss Zheng, it was difficult for him to get through this mental barrier.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Zhou chunyong clenched his hand tightly, and the violent vibration startled him.
It was director Gao’s reply. This was Zhou chunyong’s first thought. The surgery was done! He was overjoyed.
But when he saw the name on the phone, he sighed. It was his old lady.
Zhou chunyong was disappointed for less than a second before he felt his heart tighten. The surgery was in the morning, and the old lady usually did not call him.
“Mom, what’s the matter?” Zhou chunyong was really worried that the voice that appeared was someone else ‘S. He told himself that the old lady had fainted on the road and that a kind person had called 120 for emergency.
“Chunyong, your Auntie Liu has been sent to the hospital!” Zhou chunyong’s mother asked anxiously,”do you know anyone from the Affiliated Hospital of the medical University?”
“What’s the illness?” Zhou chunyong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that his grandmother was not sick.
Auntie Liu was the Auntie who lived above his mother. She was in her 70s and would walk and buy things with his mother every day. The two of them had a very good relationship.
“Uh … I don’t know why, but she ate rat poison. Fortunately, I found out early. I saw something wrong with her last night, so I kept her company. I came home late, and in the morning …”
Zhou chunyong helplessly listened to his old lady’s somewhat confused account of what had happened. However, he had no choice. It was already quite good for her to be able to explain things clearly at her age. It was normal for her to be a little long-winded.
Zhou chunyong stared at the door of the operating room while he listened to his grandmother’s nagging absent-mindedly. If he ate rat poison, he could only pump his stomach. There was no use looking for him.
He patiently listened to the old lady’s story and comforted her.”I’ll contact my friends at the affiliated college. I’ll go and take a look personally when I’m done here.”
“Your Auntie Liu is very pitiful. Her son is overseas. You don’t understand how it feels to be old and have no one to rely on.” Zhou chunyong’s mother continued to nag.
Zhou chunyong had no other choice but to listen quietly. He had long passed his rebellious phase. Although he had a fiery temper and was very unwilling to listen to his old lady’s endless nagging, he still had to treat her better.
She wanted a good listener. Zhou chunyong knew that old people were the same.
“Auntie Liu was still fine a few days ago. Why did she commit suicide?”
“It’s all because you doctors have no skills!” Zhou chunyong’s mother chided,”your Auntie Liu has been coughing for more than a year. It’s fine no matter where you go. It’s fine. In the past few months, she peed in her pants whenever she coughed, and she had to wear wet pants when we went out to the streets. I bumped into a young man in the mall yesterday …”
Zhou chunyong listened in silence for nearly five minutes before he organized his thoughts. On one hand, boss Zheng was not willing to come out, so the possibility of the operation failing was high. On the other hand, he was being very filial to his old lady’s nagging.
The matter was very simple. Aunt Liu had been coughing for more than a year. She had performed several CT scans on her chest, but there were no changes. She could only be barely diagnosed with bronchitis.
Recently, he had also suffered from urinary incontinence whenever he coughed. Yesterday, when he went to the street, he was said to smell like urine. The old man couldn’t take it and committed suicide at night.
Zhou chunyong did not want to know how the empty nest elder lived, as it had nothing to do with him.
He was more concerned about why Boss Zheng had not come out yet.
It was really worrying!
“Mom, do you want me to contact someone to take a look or tell me a story?” In the end, Zhou chunyong could only use this to interrupt his old lady’s nagging.”I’m hanging up now. I’ll contact someone to take a look.”
“Sure, wait for my news.”
Zhou chunyong hung up the phone and contacted his friend from the Affiliated Hospital of the medical University to go to the emergency department to check on the situation.
He didn’t dare to fool her. Although his old lady was a bit long-winded, she was still smart and didn’t have dementia. As long as he could fool her, he would be scolded the next time he went home.
After making the necessary arrangements, Zhou chunyong looked at the door of the operating room in a daze. Boss Zheng still hadn’t come out, and the surgery wasn’t over yet … He had really offended a lot of people this time. Elder Peng had been discharged from the general’s mansion and was ready to go back to his hometown.
Boss Zheng was such a busybody. Why did he have to talk to elder Peng when he had nothing to do? if there were no such things, he could have performed remote surgery when the 5g network was laid out.
Sigh … Zhou chunyong sighed in his heart. It wasn’t just boss Zheng, he was also blaming himself this time.
Time seemed to pass very slowly. After looking at his phone countless times, the door of the operating room finally opened. Zhou chunyong saw boss Zheng calmly pulling a Gurney out. Old he was following beside him. The patient was completely awake.
Was the operation a success or a failure?
Zhou chunyong was puzzled.
