Sleeping late at night and waking up early in the morning, Xu Yiren smelled the faint smell on the pillowcase, and soon fell asleep.

He had a "lucid" dream.

The air in the dormitory in the dream didn't smell very good, filled with an indescribable smell of corruption, like the smell of forgetting to take out the trash when I came back from a long vacation.

Xu Yiren watched Li Chaoyue approach step by step, then raised his hand, covering his forehead with his palm, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say "you".

He suddenly felt flustered.

He can realize that he is controlling the direction of this dream, but he doesn't know if "Li Chaoyue" will say something earth-shattering under his psychological hint-it is very likely that he is the person he most wants to hear the words said.

But if he really said it, even if it was only in a dream, Xu Yiren might not be able to be content with this body for the rest of his life; if he didn't say it... then, probably he won't hear it in this life.

The two looked at each other in silence for a few seconds, and "Li Chaoyue" finally spoke.

Xu Yiren heard a thick baritone say in authentic English, "DKA, the patient has a high fever and is in a mild coma."

Xu Yiren: "..."

He woke up from his dream, and there seemed to be a sparse circle of people around the hospital bed.

"Impossible!" This time it was the real Li Chaoyue's voice, "The marker display is completely normal, impossible!"

"Dr. Li, the current indications of the marker are exactly the same as the last recording last night. This is not normal. I think there may be a malfunction, which caused the data to stay on this interface." Sherrill was methodical He assigned the work calmly, "Draw the patient's blood and send it for testing, Elvis, you remove the marker and bring it to Dr. Li for inspection. In addition, notify all the nurses to conduct data verification for the patients they are in charge of."

Li Chaoyue said eagerly: "He was fine in the morning, without any symptoms at all. Are you sure you have ketoacidosis?"

"Didn't you notice the smell of ketones in his respiratory tract?" Cheryl leaned over and sniffed. "It's very obvious now."

Li Chaoyue: "He... didn't talk to me much in the morning."

Xu Yiren: "..."

First teased by him in the morning, and then dragged to "go to execution", it's strange to have something to say!

He wanted to speak, but found that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and his nose and throat hurt from gasping for breath.

Cheryl noticed that Xu Yiren seemed to be conscious, and shook his hand: "Mr. Xu?"

"Brother Xu, can you hear me?" Li Chaoyue stepped forward and grabbed Xu Yiren's arm, ignoring the gazes of the people around him, "Why are you uncomfortable, can you talk?"

Xu Yiren moved his fingers, wondering if Li Chaoyue could see it in a panic.

There was the sound of the machine starting up beside the bed, and Cheryl lifted Xu Yiren's clothes, checked the sides under his ribs with a probe, and asked, "Has he urinated since he got up?"

Li Chaoyue: "It seems...he went to the bathroom to wash up, and I was waiting outside, I don't know."

Cheryl: "Consider DKA causing acute renal failure, ATN Phase I. Establish an intravenous channel for rehydration of the patient, prepare to detect GRF, call Dr. Allen, and tell him to go directly to the ICU."

"Impossible! You must have read it wrong, check it again." Li Chaoyue's voice suddenly increased, as if he had a conflict with Sherrill, and finally grabbed the probe of the instrument, "Let me see."

Cheryl said in a deep voice, "Dr. Lee."

The movements of the hands of the other people in the ward who were originally performing their duties also stopped.

"Please don't forget your responsibilities, you have more important things than general inspections now." Sherrill reminded seriously, "I understand that it is difficult for you to accept that there is a problem with the marker, but apart from you, no one of us can know What happened during this period, and whether other patients may have the same danger, you must find the cause and provide data as quickly as possible. You must know that you are not only responsible for a certain patient, but for the entire All patients in the research base are responsible."

"I didn't notice it earlier," Li Chao said incoherently, "...if I didn't ask you to interrupt the treatment, he wouldn't be like this."

Xu Yiren felt that he was so angry that he quickly fell into a slight coma - does this guy know what he should do first?Cheryl has made it so clear, why doesn't he leave?It is time to check the equipment or to see the patient, so why go there as soon as possible!

"His blood ketone level hasn't been detected yet. ATN may be deteriorating. Do you want to continue discussing with me? This will only put him in danger." Cheryl's baritone voice made Xu Yiren's ears buzz Hearing their words, he became increasingly unclear, "Elvis, Dr. Li is emotionally unstable, please take him back."

"Don't... I know." Li Chaoyue clasped his fingers and replied in a low voice: "Elvis, give me the marker, you can keep him and take care of him... Sheryl , I leave it to you here."

"Yeah." Sherrill's voice couldn't hear any emotion, and he arranged the work calmly, "Open the door and push the patient to the ICU."

The door latch of the ward and the roller card under the bed were opened.

The lathe was well damped and moved extremely smoothly all the way, but Xu Yiren's consciousness gradually sank again.Before his thoughts completely stopped, he suddenly wanted to shake that person's hand.

Like a small meteorite in the universe, it was knocked out of orbit by a larger meteorite and rushed to the earth. When it entered the atmosphere, the friction burned its body, consumed all the energy, and turned into an insignificant dust , Floating up and down, I don't know where I am.

When his mind resumed functioning, the world was still dark. What's worse, he couldn't feel his limbs, he couldn't even feel the temperature, and he couldn't even judge whether he was still alive. The only sound he could hear was "Didi" Di--" electronic sound.

Being able to hear voices, but not feel your own existence, this scene is very similar to the scene in the movie where the soul is out of the body.

Judging from the frequency and volume, this electronic sound should not come from the ICU instruments that he is familiar with, but he must have heard it somewhere, although he is not very familiar with it, but when he thinks of it, he feels a little reflexively resisting...

It's the treatment cabin of the cell planning transformation device!

"Is there... is there anyone?" He tried to make a sound, but the volume was low and hoarse, and his tone became distorted, like an old machine that hadn't been used for many years. At a critical moment, he had to grit his teeth and barely finished. Task.There was a pain in the throat from the fire, but at least it proved that he was still alive.

No one responded to him.He clearly heard the occasional sound of clicking the mouse and typing on the keyboard. Someone must be operating the console.

Is it Cheryl?

He didn't know how old Cheryl was, maybe he was too old to hear?

Xu Yiren took a deep breath and asked with the loudest voice his voice could bear: "Anybody here?"

This time I finally got attention and got a response: "Brother Xu?"

Li Chaoyue immediately adjusted the instrument to the pause position and ran over: "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." When the marathon runner saw the person waiting for him when he ran to the finish line, Xu Yiren felt that he was much better just hearing this voice, and asked, "Is there water?" Is it?"

"Yes, yes, wait, I'll get a straw." Li Chaoyue searched around in the cupboard, "Drink slowly, don't choke."

Warm water entered the throat, and the pain in the throat was greatly relieved. Presumably, it should be dehydration of the upper respiratory tract caused by high fever, and there is nothing serious about it.

"Am I well now?" he asked.

Li Chaoyue: "Ah?...You ask me? Don't I have to ask you? Do you think you are better?"

Xu Yiren felt that she had always been fine: "It's just that I don't have energy, and I don't feel anything in my hands or feet."

"It will be fine, you must be a little weak after burning for a long time," Li Chaoyue said, "I'll get you something to eat after the treatment is over."

Xu Yiren was vigilant when he heard the words: "Who else is in this house?"

Li Chaoyue: "There's no one else, just the two of us."

"..." Xu Yiren was a little bit unconscious after being burned. After thinking about this sentence twice, he asked, "Why did you treat me? Where's Cheryl?"

Li Chaoyue: "He did it during the day, he finished it for you and pushed you to the ward, and I pushed you out again."

Xu Yiren: "You..."

"Brother Xu, don't be angry, I really know this time. This is a process of accumulating quantitative changes into qualitative changes. He will do one round for you during the day, and I will do one round for you at night. Even if it can't be better, it will be twice as fast. , at least consolidate it, right?" Li Chaoyue blamed himself, "I'm sorry, if I hadn't run into your treatment room that day and asked Cheryl to interrupt the treatment, you wouldn't have been right when the marker was giving feedback..."

"Stop talking." Xu Yiren interrupted his self-examination, "Aren't I well?"

Li Chaoyue's performance in the ward that day was not only unprofessional, but out of control. He must have been scolded by his superiors afterwards, and he might be criticized behind his back and fined or something.He is not a child of a certain age, and he needs to be reminded over and over again by an adult that he should have a sense in his heart, so why let him review himself again and deepen his frustration.

"But...if it wasn't for me..."

"Okay." Xu Yiren recovered from a serious illness and wanted to comfort others in turn, racking his brains to decide his words, "Even if it was me, I would take all the complications into consideration before performing the operation. You did a good job. But at night Push me out again and do the treatment again, this is..."

"Let me tell you, I really don't trust them." Li Chaoyue was indignant, "They didn't let me into the ICU, and they didn't let me into your treatment room. They just put up a sign saying 'Li and the dog are not allowed. I'm inside, I can only squat at the door, and I can hear Cheryl and Elvis chatting non-stop inside, not serious at all."

Xu Yiren was so worried that she wished she could faint again.

It doesn't matter that irrelevant personnel can't enter and leave the ICU without authorization, and he is not allowed to enter the treatment room. How obvious is this exclusion?This guy also signed a 20-year contract with Nie Shi. It would be difficult for him to change jobs. How will he get along with others in the future?Still not being squeezed into the crack of the wall?

Thinking that others might treat Li Chaoyue coldly, he was even more unhappy than the person involved, but he had to comfort him: "It's normal to chat, let alone doctors and nurses, other professions, who don't talk to each other when they go to work?" What's more, the relationship between doctors and patients abroad is not as tense as in China, maybe they are used to a relaxed working environment... chatting during the treatment, it shows that I have general symptoms and no intractable diseases."

Li Chaoyue drooped: "Is that so?"

"That's it." Xu Yiren convinced himself, "Otherwise, think about it, under what circumstances would everyone not talk? For example, when the emergency operation was performed and the thoracotomy was performed, the entire operating room became quiet when the operative field was exposed. Collective silence for 1 minute, don't you feel relieved if I do the same?

Li Chaoyue thought about the scene and asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes." Seeing that Li Chaoyue was no longer in such a low mood, he would ask questions, Xu Yiren was relieved, and continued weakly and slowly, "Then the director asked the first assistant to go out and talk to the family members again, and the second assistant went to the hepatobiliary department to find someone. When I went to the consultation, Sanzhu was looking for blood, and the roving nurse hurriedly called the vice president to come and support the situation."

Li Chaoyue was amused by his last sentence: "Really, are you kidding me?"

"Really. So you..."

Xu Yiren wanted to say, so don't be emotional towards Cheryl.

But I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth, but I felt a sore nose——Li Chaoyue was fine at first, and working here was just a bit remote and closed, but compared with aiding Xinjiang and aiding Tibet, I don’t know how much better the living conditions are. , if it wasn't for his arrival, why would Li Chaoyue suffer these grievances?

He himself is the chief culprit, and he caused others to suffer a lot, so how can he calmly comfort the victim and deal with it calmly?

Li Chaoyue: "So, me, what?"

Xu Yiren really couldn't say it, so he could only say: "So I'm fine, you help me up and go to the bathroom."

Li Chaoyue lifted the quilt and looked: "Aren't you wearing a catheter?"
