Chapter 15: conversation
After a long time, Shen Fangyu, who was standing like a wax figure, moved slowly, top-heavy, as if he was stepping on cotton.
He let out a breath slowly, shook his head, bent down, picked up all the inspection reports one by one, knocked on the table, straightened the frame, and put them back on Jiang Xu's table. His voice slowed down, "What do you need me to do?"
Jiang Xu didn't look back.
Shen Fangyu pressed his eyebrows, and said to Jiang Xu: "You didn't come to me just to inform me that I'm going to be a father."
He knew Jiang Xu's character very well. He had to have a strong character and strong self-esteem. After calming down, Shen Fangyu was the first to think that if he hadn't encountered difficult troubles, it would be impossible for him to confess this matter to him.
Jiang Xu closed his eyes, and then said: "Help me operate and remove this fetus."
He didn't call it a child.
Jiang Xu said: "There is a doctor in country M who has just performed a related operation, which has not been published yet. I have already sent an email to ask. If he is willing to share the details of the operation with us, I want you to perform the operation on me. .”
They are deadly rivals who have been competing for more than ten years, but when it really comes to a critical moment, Jiang Xu trusts Shen Fangyu the most.
It was precisely because he was an opponent that he understood Shen Fangyu's ability best. He believed that he could do it, which meant he believed that Shen Fangyu could do it. The two of them were never equal.
But no doctor faced such a situation, could pat his chest heartlessly, and say that there is no problem.
Shen Fangyu hesitated as expected.
Jiang Xu's eyes fell on the computer screen, his index finger slid on the mouse, and the arc of his jaw line was very sharp, "You can also refuse, I understand."
"You know the danger, Jiang Xu."
"I know."
In the office where needles could be heard, only the breathing of the two of them remained. Shen Fangyu looked at him and fell silent.
After waiting for too long, Jiang Xu felt that his face was a little stiff. My heart sank little by little, as if soaked in water. He silently took a deep breath, and turned his attention back to the documents he hadn't finished reading. He wanted to stabilize his emotions, but Shen Fangyu said:
"I can do it."
"Don't rush to agree," Jiang Xu said, "You can go back and think about it."
"Am I your first choice?" Shen Fangyu asked.
Jiang Xu didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.
"Then I don't have to think about it," Shen Fangyu repeated, "I can do it."
Jiang Xu glanced at him.
"But I need a record of the entire operation," Shen Fangyu said, "This is also my responsibility to you."
He pulled away the chair beside Jiang Xu and sat down, "When will he reply, we have to prepare as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the higher the risk of the operation."
Jiang Xu glanced at the phone, but there was still no response, he shook his head lightly, "It's hard to say."
"Are you sure he's willing to give it?" Shen Fangyu asked, "After all, it hasn't been published yet."
"Science has no borders." Jiang Xu himself has never hidden his selfishness, and he is confident in his ability and speed. He will also share and report unpublished articles. "Besides, the belief of doctors is to cure diseases and save lives."
Shen Fangyu didn't comment. In fact, he was not as optimistic as Jiang Xu, but at this time he didn't want to add fuel to the fire in front of Jiang Xu, so he chose to remain silent.
It seems that after talking about this matter, there is no need for any dialogue between them anymore, Jiang Xu didn't talk to Shen Fangyu again,
His eyes never left the computer screen the whole time, and he was obviously in the working state.
Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xu's screen, and found that he was reading a document related to cervical cancer targeted drugs, all in English.
He suddenly admired Jiang Xu's psychological quality, even at this time, he can still concentrate on the documents in the computer.
But his heart was in turmoil.
His blood surged and ebbed, and his thoughts were still in a mess. Although it was much calmer than before, it was more like being shocked to the point of numbness.
When Shen Fangyu looked away from Jiang Xu's work station, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Xu's perennial coffee was replaced by plain water.
Jiang Xu, who poured coffee like water, stopped drinking coffee.
It was because he was pregnant with a child.
For some unknown reason, Shen Fangyu lowered his head and glanced at Jiang Xu's lower abdomen.
Under the cover of the white coat, he couldn't see anything, but thinking that there was a child inside, and that child was connected with him and Jiang Xu by blood, Shen Fangyu suddenly didn't know how to face Jiang Xu.
The documents on the screen have been accurately marked and highlighted, and Jiang Xu has already turned to the next page. Obviously, he is really watching, not acting.
Shen Fangyu suddenly reached out to touch Jiang Xu.
"Don't make noise." Jiang Xu didn't want to hear Shen Fangyu ridiculing or ridiculing him at this time.
However, Shen Fangyu was silent for a moment, bowed his head briefly in front of him for the first time, "I'm sorry, I will take responsibility."
Jiang Xu's index finger resting on the mouse suddenly curled up, and after a long while, he said expressionlessly: "No need, it was just an accident, and I didn't take it to heart, let alone you need to be responsible to me, Dr. Shen takes care of you Just do it yourself."
"Jiang Xu..."
Jiang Xu continued: "After this matter is resolved, we will remain the same as before, I just hope you will appear in front of me less."
It was like being poured with a basin of cold water, the little flame of warmth that had just ignited in Shen Fangyu's heart was extinguished in an instant.
Jiang Xu always had the ability to get angry so that Shen Fangyu felt bored.
Shen Fangyu looked at his profile and was silent for a while, then twitched the corners of his mouth, "Okay, as you like," he snapped his fingers and stood up, "But thank you Doctor Jiang for your trust and affirmation of my medical skills."
In the matter of stabbing each other in the heart, the two of them have always been equal.
However, before Jiang Xu could speak again, a young doctor Guipei in the office next door suddenly opened the door in a panic, and the eyes of the two who were stalemately confronting each other trembled, and they looked away tacitly and awkwardly.
Fortunately, the doctor who broke in didn't notice the weird atmosphere in the office. He saw the two of them as if they were hugging a life-saving straw.
"Dr. Jiang, Dr. Shen, a pregnant woman who fell from the stairs and was injured in the emergency department has been sent to the operating room. Today, Dr. Wu is on the second line. An hour ago, the emergency department sent a pregnant woman who was involved in a car accident. He brought the first-line doctor. Xiao Yang went to the rescue, I just contacted the third line and was still on the way, Doctor Wu asked me to come to the office to see if there is anyone else who can stand up to him."
Halfway through the conversation, Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu had already followed him to the obstetrics and gynecology emergency ward. After he finished speaking, they had already seen the woman on the hospital bed.
Jiang Xu lowered his head and began to check the patient's condition. The emergency nurse reported the ECG monitoring indicators, and the emergency doctor Liu Ran followed him to report: "The patient has multiple soft tissue contusions on the arms and knees, and there is effusion in the knees. The wound has been repaired." Disinfection treatment, the venous channel has been established, and there is no obvious fracture or fracture after investigation."
"The patient, Zhang Yun, is thirty-two weeks pregnant. The fetal heart rate monitoring is normal, and there are no contractions yet." Dr. Guipei's name is Chen Qi. After watching the fetal heart rate monitor, he said to Jiang Xu: "It should be a false alarm."
Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay," he said, "The patient's family said that the patient fell down the stairs. I saw that the parturient was unconscious. After treating the wound, he quickly took the emergency channel of the obstetrics and gynecology department. I'm afraid she will give birth prematurely."
He didn't look very old, he should have been on duty alone not long ago.
"Since it's nothing serious, I'll go first." He said to Jiang Xu, "Let me know when the patient wakes up."
"Wait," Jiang Xu's eyes flashed past the patient Zhang Yun's bruised arms and knees. A layer of cold sweat broke out on Zhang Yun's forehead. Jiang Xu reached out to touch her arms and found that her arms were also a little wet. He He lowered his head and approached Zhang Yun to smell it, and he could still smell a very faint smell of garlic through the mask.
He raised his hand and said, "Flashlight."
"It has been taken, and the diameter of the equal size circle of the pupils on both sides is 3.5mm, and the light reflex is normal." Liu Ran said inexplicably.
Jiang Xu's eyes fell on the ECG monitor, "I won't say it a second time."
Liu Ran lowered his eyes a little angrily, and handed him the flashlight.
Jiang Xu opened Zhang Yun's eyelids, and bright, strong light shined on the patient's pupils, "Did you check for cholinesterase in the blood routine?"
"Cholinesterase?" Liu Ran looked at Jiang Xu with a surprised expression and said, "The patient's family said that the patient fell down the stairs, and the emergency department treated it as trauma. Why did they check for cholinesterase?"
"Take blood, check serum cholinesterase and organic phosphorus concentration," Jiang Xu explained to the nurse at the side, then turned to Liu Ran and said, "Get ready for gastric lavage."
Liu Ran's eyes obviously disapproved, he paused, and then glanced at Jiang Xu's badge.
"Doctor Jiang," he retorted, "the patient has no obvious muscarinic symptoms, and has no history of taking pesticides."
Jiang Xu said to him while holding the stethoscope: "I am your superior doctor here, and I will be responsible for all my orders. The only thing you have to do is to execute them."
After speaking, he glanced at Liu Ran indifferently, and put the stethoscope tip on the patient's skin.
With a sullen face, Liu Ran looked at Jiang Xu who seemed to be indifferent to him and didn't take his words to heart at all, and said angrily, "I'm going to complain to you!"
"Okay," Jiang Xu continued to move his hands, "but now you must listen to me." He stood up and looked at Liu Ran, with a sense of oppression in his sharp and sharp gaze.
Liu Ran's heart suddenly felt empty, and he couldn't utter the words stuck in his throat for an instant. He "hummed" with a straight face, and began to indwell a gastric tube for gastric lavage with water indignantly.
Shen Fangyu remained silent by the side. Seeing that Liu Ran had calmed down, he asked Jiang Xu, "Do you want to inject atropine and pralidoxime in advance?"
Both are commonly used organophosphorus pesticide antidotes.
Jiang Xu was silent for a moment, nodded and told the nurse to prepare medicine.
"You guys—" Liu Ran wanted to refute, but was firmly pinned back to his original position by Shen Fangyu's gaze. It was strange to say that Shen Fangyu's face was obviously more easy-going, but that glance made Liu Ran inexplicably a little apprehensive.
Before the blood test sheet came out, the transparent liquid had already entered the patient's vein.
Jiang Xu subconsciously glanced at Shen Fangyu, but unexpectedly met his gaze, the eyes of the two were separated in the air, and they quickly lowered their eyes almost at the same time.
Jiang Xu turned his eyes back to the patient, and a thought flashed in his mind very briefly:
The last time I rescued a patient together with Shen Fangyu seemed to be a long time ago.
