Shi Dongdong came back from the CT room and was pushed to the intensive care unit.

Qiao Hao finally plucked up the courage to follow in. After the doctors and nurses were busy for a while, Shi Dongdong who Qiao Hao saw again had already been fitted with monitor tubes all over his body.The heart rate data on the ECG monitoring is still high, almost twice that of normal people, but the blood pressure is constantly dropping.

Shi Dongdong was in a lethargic state, and his body trembled from time to time, as if he was very cold.

The doctors glanced at Qiao Hao who was also wearing a white coat, and finally did not drive him out when they left.In the empty room, he and Shi Dongdong were the only ones left.

Qiao Hao held Shi Dongdong's hand by the bed. Although his hand was already cold, compared with Shi Dongdong's, it seemed that it could still transmit some heat to him.

"Dongdong, the director will be here soon, and Chen Zhi is driving to pick him up." Qiao Hao tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, and whispered softly in Shi Dongdong's ear, "You really know how to choose the time, and you are sick when the attending doctor is away for a meeting... ...Are you angry with me? What I said at noon were all angry words, you are too small to be so scary. "

Shi Dongdong was still trembling, probably Qiao Hao didn't listen to a word.

Qiao Hao had no choice but to hold his hand even tighter, "Wake up quickly, okay? I only let you take a nap, why did you sleep for so long? You can draw whatever you want, I won't care about it... ..."

As he spoke, Qiao Hao buried his face in Shi Dongdong's arm, feeling his cool body temperature coming through the hospital gown.

Shi Dongdong's chest rose and fell more violently, and he frowned uneasily.

"Is it uncomfortable? The CT results will come out in a while, so hold on." Qiao Hao raised his head, not daring to press Shi Dongdong's body any longer.

The person on the bed finally opened his eyes, squinting but still out of focus.Qiao Hao called him several times, but he just turned his head a few times indiscriminately, the pain in his body was clearly displayed on his face.

Qiao Hao was so anxious that he wished he could suffer for him.

On the side monitor, the heart rate had reached 138, but the blood pressure was only 93/49, and the alarm sounded sharply.The doctors and nurses on duty ran in and saw this scene, and they panicked for a while.

"How could this be?" The young doctor's voice trembled.

"Unplug... Unplug..." Shi Dongdong finally spoke, and Qiao Hao heard these two words only when he leaned close to his mouth.

Suddenly, in a flash, he pulled up Shi Dongdong's sleeve, and saw that on the pale arm, the entrance of a picc catheter had been displaced, and the blood oozing from the skin even scabbed.Qiao Hao's heart tightened, and he blurted out to the nurse, "Pull out this tube!"

The nurse stood aside in shock, not daring to act rashly for a moment.

"Hurry up!" Qiao Hao yelled again, then turned his head and said anxiously to the doctor on duty, "Hurry up and get the CT results! I suspect it's a catheter infection, hurry up!"

The little doctor said "oh", immediately reacted, and quickly ran out of the intensive care unit.

When the nurse administered the picc, Shi Dongdong was so exhausted that his head was tilted to one side.

Qiao Hao could only stand by the bed, feeling so remorseful that he couldn't speak.It turned out that he refused the infusion at noon not because of willfulness, but because he was really uncomfortable.He only thought he was losing his temper and being paranoid because he wasn't allowed to draw, but never really asked him if something was wrong.

On Shi Dongdong's ashen face, his brows were still frowning, and the nurse had put an oxygen mask on him, hoping to ease his discomfort.The mask quickly turned white due to the steam and quickly recovered, Shi Dongdong's breathing was extremely short.

Qiao Hao gritted his teeth, knowing that he must be in unbearable pain right now.

The little doctor brought a CT scan, and sure enough, a string of bright spots on the arm continued to the right atrium.

"It seems to be sepsis. Why didn't I think there was something wrong with this place at first! The doctor who did the physical examination should pay attention..." The doctor sighed.

Qiao Hao didn't answer, Molly was the one who checked Shi Dongdong, maybe she was negligent, maybe she had a conflict with Shi Dongdong before she got there.At this time, Qiao Hao was not saddened by this omission, after all, Molly was just an intern.What he was thinking about was the real cause of the picc tube infection.

On Shi Dongdong's arm, the redness and swelling caused by the displacement of the catheter glaringly caught Qiao Hao's eyes. When he snatched Shi Dongdong's drawing board the day before, the scene of the man being hit and gritted his teeth and frowning also appeared in his mind .

Qiao Hao closed his eyes in pain, it must have been that time, and he was the culprit.

"Quickly take the tip of the catheter for bacterial culture and find the source of the infection." The doctor on duty had already calmed down. He ordered the nurse and comforted Qiao Hao at the same time. There should be no problem after adjusting the antibiotics on the catheter according to the bacterial species.”

Qiao Hao forced a smile, and his eyes fell on Shi Dongdong's face again. The pale and weak appearance of that person made him blame himself even more.

Qiao Hao stayed in the intensive care unit until midnight.

The doctor had already buried an implanted IV port under Shi Dongdong's collarbone, and the new antibiotics were slowly injected into Shi Dongdong's body through the catheter on his chest. The heart rate and blood pressure slowly returned to normal on the testing equipment.

In the early hours of the morning, the director of the department and Shi Chongshan came to the ward, and they were relieved after confirming that the situation was stable.

Qiao Hao looked at them blankly, but did not leave Shi Dongdong's side.Seeing this scene, Shi Chongshan didn't push him away, but only said "thank you" to him when he left the ward.

It took Qiao Hao a while to realize, but he didn't know what the "thank you" was for.

Shi Dongdong woke up once at two o'clock, the heat on his body subsided a lot, and he was much more awake.

"Are you there?...Where is this place?" He stared blankly at Qiao Hao who was sitting beside him, and found himself lying in a single ward with a bunch of instruments.

"Your infusion tube is broken. You had septic shock before, but now it's all right. The doctor replaced the new tube for you. Look, here it is," Qiao Hao pointed to Shi Dongdong's chest, still using the most gentle The voice said to him, "Now your right hand is free, and you can draw whatever you want in the future."

"Aren't you going to work?" Shi Dongdong nodded, his clear eyes blinked a few times, but he still seemed to have not recovered.

"I'll rest tonight." Qiao Hao looked at him, not wanting to leave his face for a moment.

"Aren't you sleepy?" Shi Dongdong asked again, looking like a child.

"I'm not sleepy, you forgot, my job is that I often work night shifts, I'm used to it." Qiao Hao smiled, no matter how he looked at Shi Dongdong, he felt that it was not enough, and he felt a feeling of regaining what was lost.

Shi Dongdong was stunned for a while again, and after his sanity cleared up, he slowly raised his right arm, stretched his hand into the air for a try, and finally frowned slightly.

"The infection is a bit serious, and the entrance of the catheter is swollen, so it may take a few days to fully recover. Don't worry, it won't affect your painting." Qiao Hao immediately explained to him.

Shi Dongdong responded lightly, and then slowly tried to sit up.

"Do you want to drink water?" Qiao Hao helped him up and asked.

Shi Dongdong nodded and put his hands on his forehead.

Qiao Hao still supported him and fed him the water, but Shi Dongdong, who drank well, was more silent than before.

"The arm was hit by me, right?" Qiao Hao stepped back from him, sighed and asked, "It must be very painful, why didn't you just say it?"

"It's not very painful," Shi Dongdong forced a smile, "compared to other pains."

This smile made Qiao Hao's heart tighten so hard that he couldn't speak for a moment.

"Do you know," Shi Dongdong said again, "It is said that there are three minutes before a person dies, and some of the most memorable images in his life will slowly flash in his mind. Those important people and important places will take turns at this time When they come on stage, they will appear clearly in front of the dying person like pictures, like looking back on his life." Shi Dongdong said, paused, and looked at Qiao Hao.

"En." Qiao Hao reluctantly agreed, not wanting to hear Shi Dongdong talk about such a topic.

"The time I fell down at your house, I think I'm going to go through those 3 minutes..." Shi Dongdong said leisurely, Qiao Hao immediately motioned for him to stop, but he shook his head and continued, "But, what happened before my eyes There is only darkness, and there is only pain in my mind, and there is no picture. I think it would be terrible if I really died at that time. I even lost the opportunity to look back on my life. Although, there is not much in my life worth looking back on. .”

"Can you stop talking?" Qiao Hao lowered his head, frowning tightly.

"Listen to me," Shi Dongdong smiled again, as if he was out of the matter, "The point is not death, the point is that I have some inspiration and want to draw the most memorable pictures in my mind. 3 minutes, one picture at a time If I really didn't have time to think about it at that time, it would be better to make a draft in advance. So, I woke up after the operation and wanted to draw. And I have prepared a lot of drafts in my mind , which people, which things and which places... I want to draw them down."

"Your idea is very good," Qiao Hao wiped his face with his hands, trying to make his tone calm, "But, have you ever thought that it's too early to draw those now, and there will be a long time to wait." After you have been there, there will be many important pictures, you can draw it now, how will the later ones be squeezed into your 3 minutes?"

"If I can really live for a long time, then your question makes sense." Shi Dongdong smiled more happily, the weakness on his face was covered by that smile, as if he had really heard something very happy matter.

However, Qiao Hao was agitated by that smile, and almost out of control, he hugged the person in front of him into his arms, "Don't say such things again, I beg you!"

Shi Dongdong seemed to be stunned, and let him hug him without moving.

The room fell silent, only the beeping of the ECG monitor. Obviously, the frequency of the sound accelerated.

Qiao Hao had to loosen Shi Dongdong's body a bit, but the hands that hugged him never left. He closed his eyes and almost held his breath to feel the breath of the person in his arms.

He couldn't say another word, and Shi Dongdong didn't open his mouth either.

The author has something to say:

*Slightly popular science, Shi Dongdong's dangerous situation is sepsis caused by "catheter-related bloodstream infection" (CRBSI), the pathogenic bacteria may be Staphylococcus epidermidis or Candida, and the symptoms are high fever, high heart rate, Chills, etc. In severe cases, organ failure will occur. If the catheter inspection is neglected, it will be difficult for postoperative patients to find the source of infection, and it will be difficult to diagnose this disease.However, if the source of infection is removed and antibiotics are used in a targeted manner, it will improve relatively quickly.Therefore, Shi Dongdong was not in danger this time.

Because it has been researched for a while, let me talk about it here.

In addition, I have thought about the ending of this article, and I feel a lot more comfortable after thinking about it. I hope that I can write an ending that will at least move me.

Thanks to the friends who follow the article, my progress is so slow and I still insist on watching.
