Fifty, Misunderstandings and Coincidences

  One afternoon, there were no critically ill patients in the emergency department. Fang Hua was taking advantage of this time to revise her thesis and make a final copy.

  She was copying while thinking: This Liang Jiahui, returned to his hometown and didn't even think about Shu, until now he hasn't been seen. For this thesis, apart from helping a bit at the beginning, he basically didn't care about anything else. He just mixed in as the second author, it's really cheap for him. No way, when the time comes to pay for the publication fee, he must pay the most!

  She was calculating others when a familiar ambulance siren came from afar.

  "Another patient is coming!" The sound of the whistle was an order, Fang Hua quickly stood up and followed several other medical staff rushing to the door to prepare for the arrival of the patient.

  Four or five injured people were taken down from the ambulance, saying that a car accident occurred on the second ring road due to slippery roads on rainy days. Fortunately, no one died, and several injured people had different degrees of trauma, but they were not fatal.

  Fang Hua helped the emergency department doctors to give simple treatment to two seriously injured people and sent them to the orthopedic ward. Three other wounded were examined and found to be fine, so after treating their wounds, the doctor asked for their opinions and did not admit them to the hospital, but instead prescribed some medication and let them go home after outpatient treatment.

  Three people were slightly injured, two men and one woman. They were given penicillin injections and tetanus antitoxin as prescribed by the doctor. The woman, who was in her 40s, slender and elegant, asked politely where the restroom of Fanghua Emergency Clinic was after receiving the injection, then walked over there.

  The life of an emergency doctor is always busy to death, then idle to death. After dealing with these people, the corridor of the emergency department became quiet again.

  Fanghua returned to her own corner and continued copying. After a few lines, she always felt a bit anxious and uneasy, as if something was not quite right. Thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered: the middle-aged woman who went into the restroom earlier had not come out for half a day.

  Fanghua rushed to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, pushed open the door, and indeed saw the woman lying face down on the cement floor, motionless.

  Fang Hua turned her head and shouted to the nurse station on the other side: "Come quickly, a patient is in trouble!" Then, she rushed over and flipped the woman's body over, lying face up.

  Fang Hua gently shook her body and called out to her several times, but there was no response. Fang Hua felt for a pulse on her neck and found it beating, and saw that her chest was still rising and falling with breath. Then she used her fingernails to pinch the person's eyebrow, and the person's brow furrowed slightly as they let out a low groan.

  The nurse on duty arrived and asked "what's going on". Fang Hua replied: "There is breathing and heartbeat, it looks like shock. It doesn't seem to be internal bleeding, possibly an allergic reaction."

  The two of them lifted the woman together and placed her on a trolley in the corridor, pushing it back to the observation room.

  Other doctors and nurses who rushed to the scene also started checking and rescuing. It was soon confirmed that it was an acute shock caused by drug allergy, and after being given emergency injections, she quickly recovered.

  The doctor in charge told her that she might be allergic to tetanus antiserum and was now out of danger, nothing wrong. However, he asked her to rest for a while in the observation room, and after confirming that everything was fine, she could leave. It's best to make a phone call and let someone from her unit or family come pick her up.

  The woman was quite calm and first thanked the doctor and nurse, then said that it's already off-duty now, so there's no need to bother the unit. As for her family members, no one can come to pick her up either, and there's no need to make a phone call. Anyway, the doctor said it's nothing serious, she'll just go back home in a while.

  The patient who came alone was also seen a lot in the emergency department, and the doctor in charge didn't say anything, just reminded her to be careful when she went back by herself.

  Before leaving, the woman specifically found Fang Hua to thank her for discovering herself in time, otherwise it would be dangerous. She asked Fang Hua's name, and Fang Hua smiled: "Auntie, I've told you my name but you won't remember. What I did was just what should be done, very ordinary, don't worry about it."

  The woman's temperament was warm and gentle, and she smiled and said: "It's ordinary for you, but it's a lifesaver for me! If you don't want to say anything, that's fine! Well, I'm leaving! Little nurse, goodbye!"

  Fang Hua smiled silently, another patient who thought she was a nurse. The nurses in the emergency department all wore round caps similar to those worn by doctors, not the nurse's cap worn by ward nurses; Fang Hua looked obviously younger than those experienced "old" nurses, and since she often helped the nurse teachers with chores, people naturally often mistook her for a little nurse.

  There have been so many misunderstandings like this, and Fang Hua has gotten used to them, so she's too lazy to explain. However, in the future when she becomes a doctor, it won't be easy for her young face to gain patients' trust! Alas, we'll talk about that later! If patients don't trust her at first, she can just work harder to make them trust her slowly!

  The new semester began with a donation activity for the flood disaster in East China.

  This year, from May to June, 18 provinces and cities in China suffered severe floods, with the most serious damage occurring in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces in East China.

  But unlike previous years, on July 11, the Chinese government issued a call for international aid for the first time. This is rare, indicating that those in power are more civilized and progressive, unlike during the Tangshan earthquake when they refused outside assistance despite the severity of the disaster. The response to the call for relief was strong both domestically and internationally, especially in Hong Kong where a wave of donations to assist with flood relief in eastern China was triggered.

  The Hong Kong entertainment industry not only held concerts in Happy Valley to raise funds for the victims, but also specially filmed a disaster relief film "All's Well Ends Well". In this two-hour movie, almost all of Hong Kong's current stars from the music and film industries appeared, with over 200 named actors, and all personnel on and off the screen worked voluntarily without pay, making it a legendary story in the film industry.

  Overseas compatriots attach great importance to this, and domestic people also respond positively. Schools naturally follow suit, so a donation box was set up on the table for registration at the beginning of school. Everyone expressed their intention when signing up.

  A week after the old students reported, new students started to report one after another. As a student union cadre, Dai Ping participated in the work of welcoming new students without hesitation. He also pulled Liang Jiahui and Lin Fanghua to help out, but Luo Manli had to participate in the welcome work of the pharmacy department, so he couldn't do anything about it.

  Watching the younger and more tender newcomers, Fang Hua couldn't help but feel a sense of "the Yangtze River's rear waves pushing forward the front waves, a new generation replacing the old". Unbeknownst to her, another year had passed, and life had quietly turned her youthful hair white.

  After reporting for duty, he went to military training. Dai Ping yelled that he had finally finished his busy work and used this as an excuse to invite Luomanli and three others to dinner, which was also a belated birthday party for the summer vacation that they had previously agreed on.

  After dinner, the sky was still not dark, and Dai Ping suggested going for a walk by the Lotus Pond. The weather at the end of August and early September was still lingering in summer, and the lotus pond was still lush green, with various red and white lotuses swaying gracefully.

  The evening breeze brings the fragrance of lotus leaves and flowers, the green leaves in the pond fluttering like a dancer's skirt. Strolling along this romantic lotus pond, the four people walk slower and slower, their mood calm and beautiful.

  Gradually, Fang Hua watched as Dai Ping and Luo Manli walked ahead, getting farther and farther away. She whispered to Liang Jiahui: "Let's go back and let the two of them chat slowly!"

  Liang Jiahui looked at the person in front of him, then glanced at Fang Hua's sneaky appearance, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Alright! So early, are you going back to your dorm?"

  "Fang Hua glared at him: 'You're thinking beautifully, wanting me to go back and play, so you can continue to study hard and get first place again! You've monopolized the first prize, let others have a chance too!'"

  Liang Jiahui rubbed his nose: "You also did a good job, that difficult anatomy exam scored 95 points, I really don't know how you memorized it? Do you know, they all say you're abnormal?"

  "Are you kidding me? You scored 100 on inorganic chemistry, how can those who need to retake the exam bear it?! Just this one subject, and you surpassed me by 15 points, you're a complete pervert!"

  Liang Jiahui laughed: "Alright, let's not compare who's more abnormal! I've been wanting to ask you something. The other day in the emergency room, didn't you encounter a woman with anaphylactic shock from a drug allergy? Wasn't it you who rescued her from the bathroom?"

  "Really? That's what happened! How is that person related to you?"

  Liang Jiahui took a deep breath and looked into Fang Hua's sparkling eyes: "That's my mom!"

  "What? So coincidental?" Fang Hua was also surprised and thought for a moment before laughing: "You and your mom don't look alike at all!"

  "Yes, I look like my dad," Liang Jiahui seemed reluctant to say more. He paused and said: "I heard my mom mention the little nurse in the emergency department, and I thought it might be you, because the nurses in the emergency department are all over thirty years old, and even the youngest ones are twenty-five or six, what's with this 'little nurse'?"

  Fang Hua shrugged: "It's just me, nothing much! If you were in my shoes, you'd do the same thing!"

  Liang Jiahui said seriously: "But I wasn't there at the time! If you hadn't discovered it in time, my mom would have been finished! If something had happened to my mom, I would regret it for the rest of my life. So, I sincerely thank you. Thank you for saving my mom's life!"

  Fang Hua saw him being so serious and thought of the scene where that woman left alone back then, her heart was moved.

  The atmosphere between the two people felt a bit too heavy, so Fang Hua intentionally smiled and said: "Alright, I've done you a great favor! How are you going to repay me?"

  Li Jiahui said readily: "To leap into boiling water or walk into a raging fire, I would not hesitate!"

  Fanghua was suddenly choked by her own saliva: "Cough, what's that, no need to be so serious! You, in the future exams also let brother take a bit, let me also taste the first place!"

  Fang Hua and Liang Jiahui were chatting behind, but saw the front Roman Li suddenly turned around and walked over. She told Fang Hua that she had something to do first, then hastily left.

  They looked at each other and walked over to Dài Píng, who was standing still with his head bowed. Liáng Jiāhuī asked him what was wrong.

  Dai Ping smiled wryly: "What else can I do, being rejected!" His voice was bitter and completely lost his usual cheerfulness and ease. Liang Jiahui patted his shoulder silently.

  Fanghua felt a bit awkward, but seeing Dai Ping's expression was okay, his emotions weren't particularly intense, so he asked: "Dai Ping, are you alright?"

  "It's okay, it's okay." Dai Ping thought for a moment and said again: "Nothing, I've been mentally prepared for this. Actually, I also felt that Manli didn't have any feelings for me, but I wasn't willing to give up! Today, I acted on impulse and spoke out, and the result was just as I expected!"

  Fanghua said: "Or should I try to persuade Lili again?"

  Dai Ping couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, alright! I'm really fine, I can still take it and put it down!"

  Then he pulled Liang Jiahui and said, "Buddy, I'm in a bad mood today. Come on, let's go have a drink!" Liang Jiahui still didn't say anything, just nodded his head.

  The two of them left like this, leaving their youth behind.

  Fanghua knew they were drinking to vent their disappointment and it wasn't convenient for them to call her along. But in her heart, she still felt a bit down, perhaps from now on the four of them could no longer travel together.
