Chen RuYou was admitted into hospital again.
Ever since she met Dr Meng Gu, its seems very common and ordinary being admitted into the hospital. Chen RuYou sighed and thought of the past, she was so healthy that she didn't even suffer from colds.
This time, Chen RuYou's blood probia was so bad that she had fainted. She felt ashamed When she woke up in the hospital. Infact, she had this blood probia since she was young but it was just seeing after chickens and ducks being slaughtered, she would feel sick and nauseous. After resting for a while, she would feel better. And at the hospital, when the nurses drew her blood or when she bled due to injuries, she would just turn her head away without looking. She would only feel a little dizzy and nothing serious.
But this time, she didn't know why..... maybe it because she had never seen a car accident with serious injuries before or maybe it was because of stress. In short, as she pressed down the victim's wound and seeing Dr Meng giving treatment infront of her, she fainted.
This was what the kind passerby told her. When she woke up, the passerby stayed by her side and told her the ambulance was coming. He helped her and also came to the hospital together. When the police arrived, he had also given his statement.
"Police?" Chen RuYou was a bit surprised. The efficiency of the police was really high.
"I called the police." Dr Meng Gu wearing a big white coat walked in.
She blinked and remembered what the kind-hearted passerby had told hervof the scenario when she fainted. Forget it, she sighed in her heart. Anyway she had never given a good impression to Dr Meng and she did not intend to remedy that.
"They were drunk driving and it's criminal offense. Fortunately, they did not hurt anyone otherwise I would have..."
"Dr Meng!" She suddenly interrupted him. This man's mouth is poisonous and he never bothers to curb his poisonous words when lots of people are around. What If he's to say some shocking words that scared people and damage his doctor's reputation?
Meng Gu stopped talking and staring at her.
She quickly smiled and said. "I forgot to thank people." She turned her head around, avoided the Mongolian doctor's eyes and said to the passerby. "Thank you for saving me. Thank you very much."
The man was embarrassed and repeatedly waved his hand."It's alright. It's alright. I was just passing by. Do you want to drink some water? The doctor said that you should drink warm water and rest more. If you still feel uncomfortable, you must call them."
"Thank you, it's alright. I'm fine." The man was so warm-hearted that Chen RuYou could not stand it.
"Then...." Mr Passerby was about to continue to speak but he heard Meng Gu coughed twice at the side.
Chen RuYou and Mr Passerby both looked at Meng Gu who raised an eyebrow and said. "I want to remind you that I am a doctor. So it should be more appropriate for me to give her doctor's advice. This gentleman has been put into a lot of trouble. Thank you for your help. Now it's very late and you should return home quickly. Leave this to me."
The man also thought for a while and it looked as if he was a minor player obstructing the main attraction. He felt slightly embarrassed and after saying goodbye to Chen RuYou and Meng Gu, he left.
"That man's really warm-hearted." Chen RuYou looked for a topic for conversation.
Meng Gu didn't reply, came over to her and poured out a glass of water. "Drink this."
The water was not too hot, just right.. warm. She took the glass from him and drank a few mouthfuls.
"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?" His tone sounded normal like a doctor and she felt at ease. She shook her head. "I'm fine, only that I feel a little weak."
"Does your heart still feel flustered and have cold sweat?"
"Well, my heart still feel flustered but I don't have cold sweat."
"Do you feel dizzy and nauseous?"
"I don't feel it now."
"Did you have these symptoms before?"
"I'm a little scared of blood."
"No." Chen RuYou answered subconsciously and she was afraid that Mongolian doctor would take this opportunity to set her In order, so she quickly said. "Dr Meng, I am fine. Blood phobia is not a serious problem. After I have taken a rest, I will be fine. Infact, in the past, I would feel uncomfortable but it would soon pass. This time I didn't have the experience of witnessing a car accident and so I fainted because I was scared. You'd better not write me a prescription for a check-up, I really don't have the money."
Meng Gu's eyebrows did not even lift and apparently, he disagreed with her.
Chen RuYou thought for a while. It was embarrassing to say that she had fainted because she didn't have any experience witnessing a car accident before. Anyway, he knew she did not intend to spend money and so she simply kept quiet.
Then, Meng Gu took out a blood pressure monitor and gestured to her to stretch out her arm. "This's to measure your heart rate and blood pressure."
Chen RuYou just noticed that she was wearing the patient's clothes. As Meng Gu pushed her sleeve up, he said. "Your clothes were stained with blood. I told the nurse to change for you."
She thanked him in a soft voice and she could feel the temperature of Meng Gu's fingers. She looked down and noticed Meng Gu's fingers were long with clean nails. His movements with the blood pressure monitor band was swift and skillful. She stared at his hands blankly and felt her heart beating faster.
The electronic blood pressure monitor completed its work quickly and tweeted twice.
Chen RuYou came back to her sense from dazing and saw Meng Gu looking the figures on.the screen with a frown. She quickly asked. "Is the result bad?"
"Blood pressure is fine, hear rate is too fast." Meng Gu removed the blood pressure monitor band from her arm. He turned his wrist and looked at his watch, then reached out his hand to her."Give me your hand."
When she heard this, her heart beats even faster. She could not help but feel worried. Now that he was asking for her hand, she subconsciously drew back. "Why?"
"Your heart rate is too fast. I need to confirm it again."
"Oh.." She had thought too much. Chen RuYou hesitantly stretched out her hand.
His slender strong fingers rested on her wrist. His hand was very large, so large that his hand could cover her entire fist. She stared at his hand and remembered his cool handsome image when he's giving emergency treatment. He had used these hands to save the lives of those two men.
"That..... what was wrong with the man in the driver seats? Why did you stab him?"
"Pneumothorax*, deflation." [*Collapsed lungs]
"What does it mean?" She was really curious.
"The car accident caused him to have lung damage and a raptured lung tissue causing gas to enter his chest. The air oppressed his lungs and it was not functioning. He couldn't breathe which's very dangerous. So the pressure in the chest cavity had to be released immediately." After his explanation, he added. "Can you understand?"
"Oh.." Infact, she did not understand much. Does he need to be so sarcastic? She continued to ask. "What about the man who had lost lots of blood?"
This time, Meng Gu didn't answer but stared at his watch.
Chen RuYou added. "It was the one who howled in pain and said he wanted to break your leg. Did he really break his leg? When I fainted, did I fall on him? Did I hurt him?"
"Chen RuYou..,"
"Ah?"
"Do you want me to keep holding your hand?"
"Ah?" How can she possibly think of this?
"How can I monitor your heart rate when you keep In talking endlessly?"
She blushed. He was actually holding her hand and it's true that she was talking endlessly. It can be inferred as a suspicion that she's delaying the doctor in his duties and at the same time taking advantage of him.
She did not speak and Meng Gu continued to look at his watch. He displayed an expression as if he understood everything clearly in his heart which was unacceptable to Chen RuYou. "Just conversing those few words with you and you're unable to monitor my heart rate. Is this regarded as you're not skillful enough? Those Chinese medical practitioners are able to use both their hands stimulaneously to check heart rates."
Meng Gu raised his head to look at her and she quickly shut up. He gave light smile as if laughing at her. Fortunately, she did not speak and continued to keep her head down.
Chen RuYou was a bit annoyed. The atmosphere here was toobsubtle or was she too sensitive? Anyway, her heart was jumping very fast. Her dizzy symptoms should have already diminished, right?
Meng Gu finally released her wrist and stared at her with a frown. He asked "When you were admitted into the hospital the last time, were there any other problems besides gastroenteritis?"
"No."
"Did the doctors find any problem with electrocardiogram?"
"No."
Meng Gu did not speak. He took out an electronic thermometer, placed on her forehead and checked her temperature. It was normal. He put the thermometer back on the table and said to her. "I suggest you do another electrocardiogram."
She felt a little nervous. I.... I feel flustered when I'm dizzy but after resting, I'll be fine. The last time when I was hospitalized, an ECG was done. The result was okay. Then when I was admitted into another hospital, an ECG was also done and the result was also normal."
"But your heart rate now is exceptionally fast. From a doctor's point of view, I would suggest that you do another ECG test to feel at ease. Find out the actual problem and it will be easier to receive the correct treatment. We can also check whether you need medication for your problem or if your blood phobia Is really serious, you may need to go for psychiatric treatment."
"It's not serious, really not serious. I have never fainted before. This's definitely an accident."
"Then how about doing.another electrocardiogram?"
She blushed. "Dr Meng, can I not do an ECG? Change to something that I don't have to spend money, something like taking my pulse and others.. Otherwise, I can rest and my heart will slow down."
"How do you know that I will not charge you for taking your pulse?"
"Ah?" Chen RuYou was dumbfounded. He will not really ask her for money, will he?
Meng Gu laughed at her expression. When he laughed, Chen RuYou knew he was teasing her again and she grinned. This made Meng Gu's laugh become more brilliant. After he had laughed enough, he finally said. "Well, actually I don't want to do this but if you want to use an inspection method that does not cost money, Then this's the only way."
Chen RuYou nodded. "Whatever method will be alright."
Then Meng Gu took out a stethoscope from his pocket of his big white coat and pulled the curtain from the side to encircle the bed. Chen RuYou who was lying in bed immediately understood anf blushed.
Her red face made Meng Gu smiled. "Look at you. How can a doctor be able to do a diagnosis like this?"
She bit her lips. She really would like to take Meng Gu as a simple normal doctor but her face continued to redden and more redden. If she's to take the heart rate test now, the monitor will breakdown?
"It's so late, only emergency department is available. In the emergency department, the doctors on duty today are all males. The doctor on duty in the ECG department is also a male. So you can make your choice."
