Mr. Zhao Fei's house squatting neighbor

"This is the result of color Doppler ultrasound and CT. Look, it's all overgrown."

The gray-haired doctor calmly handed the film to the sweating man on the hospital bed.

"From the film, it should be full of gallbladder stones. You can see that the white lumps here, here, and here are all stones."

Facing the doctor's calm statement "Your gallbladder is full of stones", Xu Chaoran, who had just recovered from the severe pain, panted slightly and asked, "Then how do you treat it?"

"Usually, we recommend that you remove all your gallbladders." Doctor Shaobaidou said, checking Xu Chaoran's medical records. "But you are only 28 years old this year. Many young patients have a psychological burden on removing the entire gallbladder, so please think about it."

Xu Chaoran did fall into thinking, but the direction of thinking was a little different from what the doctor imagined. "So after removing the gallbladder, will I not be able to eat meat?"

The young white-headed doctor looked at the patient's expression and confirmed that he was serious. "75% of the digestion of fat is completed by bile secreted by liver cells, and only 25% is produced by bile duct cells. Under normal circumstances, the gallbladder exists as a storage place for bile. After the gallbladder is removed, the body's compensatory function The adjustment of bile secretion will be completed within 3 months to half a year. Of course, after the operation, you need to pay special attention to the balance and hygiene of your diet, but this does not mean that you cannot eat meat or high-fat foods.”

Xu Chaoran summed up his own understanding: "That is to say, you can still eat it, but you have to eat less?"

The doctor nodded cautiously. "Also pay attention to the balance of the diet."

"Then cut it off." Xu Chaoran had no psychological burden at all. "It's fine if you can eat meat."

It is really rare to see such a carefree patient in internal medicine.Doctor Shaobaidou then told him a long list of surgical precautions, and Xu Chaoran seemed to have no doubts—or rather, he wasn’t listening at all—and nodded in agreement one by one.

He suddenly became nervous when he finally talked about the consent form for the operation. "Doctor, I have no relatives or friends here. Can I sign it myself?"

The doctor looked at him. "As long as you confirm that you are signing in a conscious state, it is fine. If something unexpected happens during the operation, the doctor performing the operation has the right to make a judgment, and the person in charge of the hospital will sign on his behalf."

"No problem." Xu Chaoran agreed. "Then sign it now!"

"?" The young white-headed doctor had to look at him again.

"Can I have surgery tonight?" Xu Chaoran said along his own train of thought.

"...do you have something urgent to do?" the doctor asked.

Xu Chaoran's expression suddenly became shy, hehehe giggled. "At home... there is a cat waiting for me to go back."

It turned out to be a patient with advanced toxoplasma gondii.The doctor shook his head. "Let me check the arrangement of the operating room. You take a rest first."

"Thank you doctor!" Xu Chaoran lay down on the hospital bed again.There is still a constant dull pain in the right abdomen.But because it was decided to have an operation, Xu Chaoran was not very worried.

What he misses more is the cat at home.

"Huazai, Huazai..." He held up his phone, turned on the standby screen, and stared blankly at Huazai in the wallpaper.This picture was taken when it was just adopted by me. It is a little one, curled up obediently, lying on his lap, only one eye is slightly opened, and the nose and meat pads are delicate pink color.

"Huazi wants to listen to Mr. Zhao, you know..." Xu Chaoran seemed to have left the child's parents, touching the screen saver of the phone, so worried that he almost cried.

Mr. Zhao should help him take care of Huazi...such a gentle person...

Xu Chaoran thought about it, and turned his attention from his cat to his neighbor who hadn't talked to him a few times.He still remembered the scene he saw at the corner downstairs when he came home from the convenience store to buy something in the coldest winter last year.

His neighbor was squatting in a corner, stretching his arms cautiously, and handing the ham sausage in front of a black cat huddled under the bushes.

The black cat hissed threateningly.The neighbor was so frightened that he dropped the ham sausage in his hand, but his outstretched arm stopped in mid-air, still looking reluctant.

One person and one cat confronted each other for a while, but finally the neighbor gave up first, stood up gently, his lips moved slightly, as if saying something, and then left.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Chaoran hid behind and watched quietly, and was not noticed by the neighbors.Although he found a reason for himself afterwards, "Suddenly talking to him will scare him and the black cat!", Xu Chaoran still felt that he was no different from a stalker.

Not long after, the gallbladder began to hurt badly again.Xu Chaoran patiently signed the consent form for the operation handed over by the doctor, and then lost consciousness under the combined effect of pain and anesthesia, with his head tilted on the hospital bed.

When he opened his eyes again, still lying on the hospital bed, he felt much more relaxed.It was bright daylight, and the mobile phone was still placed on the cabinet next to the hospital bed, and the breathing light for the message was flickering.

Xu Chaoran suddenly wondered if he should send an email to his long-distance working partners.But thinking that there are still two weeks before the next video conference, and he will be discharged from the hospital by then, he feels unnecessary.

Then it should be a spam message or a sales call... Although Xu Chaoran didn't have the urge to look at his phone, lying on the hospital bed with nothing to do was very boring.He carefully raised his arm from under the quilt, only to find that he had no strength and no pain.

Xu Chaoran softly picked up the mobile phone on the cabinet.

There is a text message.

Xu Chaoran clicked on it, and was unsuspectingly slapped by his Huazi.Huazai was lying comfortably on the floor, with big piercing eyes looking at the direction of the photo, with his right front hand placed by his mouth, and only a small part of his little tongue was left exposed.

"Huazi~" Xu Chaoran was so excited that he almost jumped up, if it wasn't for the effect of the anesthesia.

He looked at the strange number that sent the message.After calming down, he noticed sharply that the background in the photo did not look like his own home.Xu Chaoran held his mobile phone in both hands, and typed out a reply word by word.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! Just put Huazi in my house."

After the message was sent, he immediately saved the number as "Neighbor Mr. Zhao".

After a while, the phone buzzed softly.Xu Chaoran quickly picked it up to check.

Another text message.

"Just call me Zhao Fei. Huazi is very cute."

Xu Chaoran seemed to be poured a whole bottle of honey, happily holding his mobile phone and laughing, even the patient in the next bed cast a caring gaze.

"Then I'll trouble you! I'll treat you after I leave the hospital!"

Xu Chaoran happily changed the mobile phone number information to "Neighbor Zhao Fei".

The phone rang softly again.

"After you're discharged from the hospital, you can't eat whatever you want. It's okay, I'll play with Huazi."

Mr. Zhao... No, Zhao Fei is really a good person!Xu Chaoran hugged the phone so movedly that he almost burst into tears.

"Okay! I'm sorry to bother you! I have canned food, cat food and toys at home, it doesn't matter if you go and get them!"

Zhao Fei didn't reply this time.It probably feels like this text message will always be endless.Xu Chaoran watched Huazai's hand licking and being captured for a long time, and happily felt that he could be discharged from the hospital soon.

When the young gray-haired doctor came to make his rounds, what he saw was the picture of this muscular patient holding a small mobile phone, smiling and sleeping until his saliva was about to flow down.

The doctor sighed, unable to bear to disturb his dream.He only left a note on the cabinet asking him to ring the bell when he woke up.

Sleeping so soundly, the operation must have been a success...

The doctor put the photo he was going to show Xu Chaoran back into his pocket and quietly left the ward.
