Stubborn illness

"Oh, then come here."

"Are you going to work tomorrow? What time do you leave work at noon? What time do you go to work in the afternoon?"

"Go to work, you can come anytime from 05 am to 30:[-] pm, we have people there all day, we have people on Saturday and Sunday."

"Oh, so..., so what, let me tell you frankly, I'm a gay man, I..."

"It's okay, most of the people who come to us for treatment, especially those around the anus, are gay."

"Oh, you..." I seemed to want to break some kind of concern in advance.

"It's okay. Many people have been cured here, and they have become good friends with us."

"Oh, how long will it take to heal a situation like mine?"

"This depends on the actual situation, and it also depends on the actual situation of the individual. We will only know after inspection."

"Probably? In other words, how long would it normally take?"

"Generally speaking, it's about three or four months in the early stage, and the later stage is to prevent recurrence. As long as it doesn't grow out for half a year, it will be considered cured."

"Will it hurt? Will it affect work?"

"We use pure traditional Chinese medicine. It doesn't hurt very much. We can leave after taking the medicine, and there will be no delay in work."

"Oh, how much will it cost? Doctor."

"Come over tomorrow and check it out. If you can't say clearly on the phone, come over and check it out. We won't know until we see the actual situation."

I had no idea how verbose I was, and how impatient the doctor was on the other end of the line, until I heard "Oh, here it is, here it is." Then I heard the sound of a child crying.

"Let's do this first, you come over tomorrow, ah! I'm dead!"

"Ok, alright, Thanks."

On November [-], [-], I went to work in the morning and rested in the afternoon. I took the bus for more than two hours. I followed the address on the business card to find it. I was on the fifth floor. A bronze plaque with the words Trane, tapped on the wooden door, "Please come in." The voices of two girls sounded at the same time.

Push open the wooden door, and there is an office, like a writing room, with two antique wooden desks lined up by the window in front, with pencil cases, computers, telephones, two boss chairs, two girls, the girl on the left is sitting and repairing Nails, the girl on the right stands with her hands folded on her chest: "Hello."

"Hi, hello, I'm the one who called last night."

"Oh, come on, let's check it out." The doctor quickly put on a special large hanger, and pushed open a compartment on the left side of the wooden door. Inside was a strip-shaped wide bench, the size and shape of a massage bed, more than one meter long. high.

"Take off your pants, go up, and lie on your stomach."

"Do you want to take off your underwear?" I was a little shy.

"Take it off." The tall doctor said bluntly, and I saw that she was holding a digital camera in her hand.

"Take it off, I'm afraid there will be liquid medicine on it, so it's not easy to wash." The short doctor who cut the nails just now said softly. She was holding a bottle opener that looked like red wine, and the front end was coated with a layer of gold. Yellow sesame oil-like liquid.

Under their guidance, I climbed up, lay on my stomach, arched my buttocks, and felt a light coming towards me, shining on it, it was warm and hot, and when they saw the outside, they said at the same time: "Oh, yes, this A few are genital warts, no identification fluid is needed, they are definitely genital warts." "Come on, take some photos for me." Hearing the tall doctor speak, the shutter clicked a few times. "Come on, let's check the inside for you. If there is any inside, it needs to be treated by colleagues. It is useless to treat the outside."

Later, I felt a hard object probing, tentatively inserted. "Relax, relax, relax." The girl's gentle words kept repeating.

I frowned, took a deep breath, and seemed to be nourished, and the hard object broke into my body. To be honest, I was just scared, but it didn't hurt, it was just swollen, "Relax, relax, don't move, Don't move." I felt the girl holding the corkscrew twisting the device, as if searching carefully, and then heard her exclaimed slightly: "Oh, there are also in it, so many, like a grape, a big one Ah." It verified Dr. Tang's statement.

"I'll take some photos for you." The tall doctor raised the camera again, and clicked it from several angles.

"Okay, come down and get dressed."

When we came out of the outer hall, the short girl poured me a cup of tea, and the tall doctor uploaded the photos I just took to the computer, "Come on, let's take a look." I leaned over and followed her instructions, "This is it, this is it. There are not many outside, but there are many inside. You can see for yourself."

After reading it, she began to tell me about the treatment plan, took out a folder, and opened it, "In your case, you need to treat both the inside and the outside. If you only treat the outside, it is useless at all, because the inside will follow. Excretion and infection to the outside."

After the doctor finished explaining, he asked, "How is it? Do you want to start taking medicine?"

I was like a half puppet for this series of inspections and explanations. I didn't listen to many of them, just based on my feelings: 1 from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 2 professional, special. 3 No need to register, no need to line up. 4 No surgery, no hospitalization. 5 Overall not too painful. 6 service is ok. .... "Just follow your plan, how much is it? Can I swipe my card?"

"You can swipe the card, just wait." The tall doctor Didi tapped a few times on the calculator and said, "The total is 3578 yuan. Come here, swipe the card."

"Do you have a receipt?" I asked.

"Yes, do you want a receipt? People who come here for treatment generally don't ask for a receipt."

"Come on, I'm a little forgetful." In fact, I was skeptical. This shouldn't be considered a medical institution, right?just in case!

The process of applying the medicine was the same as the inspection process just now, except that they stuffed a small lump of cotton balls that were scorched with the liquid medicine inside. The cotton balls carried a long cotton thread, the cotton balls were stuffed inside, and the cotton thread was exposed outside.

"Keep an eye on the time, half an hour, just go to the toilet and pull out the cotton ball." The doctor took off the big hanger, sat on the boss chair, and opened the receipt for me.

I sat on the cloth sofa next to the tea table. I didn't feel much pain or discomfort, except for a little bloating. "Is that all? Is this the best medicine? Doctor."

"Originally there were two sessions a day, with an interval of four hours. You came too late, so you can only have one session today. Come early tomorrow."

"Will the medicine be administered in the same way in the future? It's not too painful." I was secretly happy, and felt that there was not much pressure.

"Yes, it doesn't hurt too much at the beginning and afterward, but it hurts more when the wart falls off."

"Is this mainly transmitted sexually?"

"Yes, it is also spread through unclean towels, clothes, etc..."

"How long is its incubation period?"

"Three to eight months, there are also special circumstances, such as one year, normally three to eight months."

"Oh." In silence, I rummaged through all the imprints in my memory, the chaos was like turning on the fast forward button of a DVD player, messy, blurry, screening, cleaning, locking the old man in the clubhouse, that is autumn?Is it winter?Although I can't remember the exact date, there is no doubt that the only one who let him in was the old man in the clubhouse.

Maybe you know you are sick, why come out to harm others?How is he? !

I chatted with the doctor about other topics, and half an hour passed in a flash. I went to the toilet to take out the cotton balls, and said goodbye to the doctor. The medicine I bought was placed there. The doctor marked my name on the outside of the box, side by side with the medicines of other patients. Put them together in an orderly manner.
