Xiao Niao remembered that in that world he married a girl named Gwyneth, who later became the first queen of the Tudor dynasty.
The days lying in the hospital were very boring. Xiao Niao recounted all his past experiences in his mind, but he always felt like he was watching someone else's affairs, and no waves could surge in his heart.
This wasn't normal, it was as if something was deliberately erasing her emotions.
But this is actually good for the bird.
Adding more than twenty years of memory is not actually a burden on the brain, but intense emotional fluctuations can greatly damage a person's mind - especially when the person is still in a state of serious injury and has not recovered.
This is undoubtedly good for everyone.
No one was harmed, and the bird received the reward she was promised.
She finally came home.
But for some reason, her heart felt empty.
------
Xiao Niao's bed was arranged near the window in the ward.
The location is great, quiet enough, with good air circulation and good lighting - leaving aside the possibility of luck, getting a bed like this during busy periods probably requires a little bit of connections.
But Xiao Niao, who had not yet fully awakened, had no idea what special treatment he had received.
She lay quietly on the hospital bed, covered with a soft blanket.
The man had an IV in his left hand, a pain pump on his right arm, a breathing mask on his face, and equipment for monitoring vital signs placed at the head and foot of the bed. The instrument cables alone were piled up in a mess on the floor.
Although the various instruments and equipment looked quite impressive, Xiao Niao's expression was very calm, except that his face looked a little pale.
The other patients in the room all knew that she was a poor girl. Her parents died at a young age, and she had encountered such a terrible accident. They didn't know whether she could wake up.
The nurses and doctors on duty in the hospital knew more. Even those who were not on duty that night heard about the situation from their colleagues.
They were all amazed and thought it was a miracle that the bird survived.
It is said that her blood pressure dropped when she entered the emergency room. The doctor thought she was going to die. Unexpectedly, after a series of rescue efforts, her life was cut short.
The instrument on the bedside table was making regular beeping sounds, and indicator lights of different colors lit up every few seconds to show that the instrument was still functioning normally.
From the monitor screen display, we can see that the bird's heart rate and blood pressure are very low. Although it is still warm, it lives like it is hibernating. The clinical manifestations are quite peculiar and have certain teaching value.
For example, now, a person leads a group of interns into the ward and starts routine rounds.
This is a daily work process in the hospital. It is to understand the patient's condition in a timely manner and allow interns to learn from their seniors and accumulate experience.
And today it happened to be the attending physician's turn to be on duty.
After he checked the conditions of the other patients in the ward, he glanced at the instrument screen on Xiao Niao's bedside table.
The attending physician looked at it for two seconds and felt that the clinical manifestations of this case were rather peculiar and had certain teaching value.
He then led the interns behind him (most of whom were students) to Xiao Niao's bed, picked up the medical record hanging on the fence and took a look at it. He asked some questions casually and asked the students to analyze the cause of the patient's coma.
The interns behind him gave answers one after another, such as cerebral hemorrhage, central nervous system damage and delayed craniocerebral injury.
The attending physician was not very satisfied with what he heard. He was a little tired after a day of surgery, so he moved a plastic chair over and prepared to sit down before continuing the conversation.
He flipped through the medical records in his hand while talking non-stop: "...the medically recognized effective time limit for awakening is approximately 12 months for those with brain trauma, and 3 months for those without brain trauma."
"The patient's coma was brief and he's in the golden period for awakening. Considering brain damage shouldn't be a big problem, but..."
As the attending physician was speaking, he suddenly realized that the students had stopped talking. He looked up in confusion and saw a group of people staring blankly at the bed.
The attending doctor then turned his head and looked at the bed.
He was soon surprised to find that the patient who had been unconscious in bed for almost a month suddenly had obvious hand movements - his fingers twitched as if they were electrocuted, and he tried hard to lift them upwards.
The attending physician was excited!
Old Swan! The patient who had been unconscious during the ward rounds actually woke up!
How could such a coincidence happen!
How rare and precious this is - and how valuable it is for teaching!
The attending physician said to the interns, "Students, please pay close attention and pay attention to the patient's reaction when he wakes up."
As he spoke, he turned around in his chair and pointed at the instrument screen where the curve was fluctuating.
"Everyone, please pay attention. The patient's breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure are slowly increasing and returning to a stable level. This is a typical sign of awakening from a coma."
At this moment, the bird on the hospital bed suddenly had its finger joints twitching violently, and its arms began to move more violently.
Her body, which had been weak all the time, suddenly regained strength, and she looked like a zombie - her right hand even grabbed the bed guard directly, and her five fingers were bent and scratching at her heart and liver.
The attending physician's expression turned serious. "Students, the patient suddenly woke up from a coma and became agitated. This could be a stress response, manifesting as depression and mania."
"——At this time, as doctors, we must not panic. We must remain calm and use our composure to soothe the patient!"
"Patient, can you hear me clearly? Please don't panic and stay calm as much as possible." He shouted to Xiao Niao.
The attending physician's tone was calm and professional: "Don't worry, you are in the hospital now and are out of danger!"
Hearing this, Xiao Niao became even more excited.
She opened her eyes at some point and was struggling to turn her face towards the attending doctor.
It can be seen that the bird has tried its best, its face has turned red, and its heart rate on the monitoring device has begun to rise rapidly. At the same time, its right hand is still scratching hard at the fence, as if it wants to grab something.
The interns behind him also became nervous. Countless cases and knowledge points that they had learned in class rushed through their minds, like flowers falling in the wind without a trace.
The interns all turned their eyes to the attending physician in front of them.
The attending physician's expression was even more serious than before. "Not good. The patient is agitated and not fully conscious. It's possible that his condition has worsened and is putting pressure on his brain."
"No, something's not right. We need to arrange a brain CT scan!"
As soon as the attending physician finished speaking, someone smart enough ran to arrange a CT scan. A kind female doctor also came over and pressed back Xiaobird's hand that was scratching at the fence, fearing that she would get hurt if she moved again.
Xiao Niao was almost in tears, and a humming sound came from his throat, which sounded very pitiful.
The kind female doctor looked down and found that the bird's lips seemed to be moving, as if it wanted to speak.
"Patient, please don't get excited. What do you want to say?" she asked caringly.
Xiaoniao blinked hard to indicate yes, yes, yes.
The female doctor felt a little strange, but she still dutifully comforted him, "Okay, don't worry, what do you want to say?"
Xiao Niao tried hard to mouth the words to her.
The female doctor couldn't read lips, but she still tried to distinguish the other person's mouth shape: "Off?"
At this time, the attending physician also noticed the commotion here and was also confused: "Close? What do you want to close?"
Xiao Niao thought in a confused state, perhaps, only in times of danger can people unleash their enormous potential.
At that moment, she unleashed all the potential within her body. Supported by powerful emotions, her soul, which had been wavering for many days, finally regained control of her body!
Xiao Niao's neck flushed red. She tried her best to squeeze out the word from her trembling throat: "...control."
“Take care, take care…”
The attending physician looked down and found that the legs of the plastic stool had flattened the oxygen tube.
The attending physician stood up in a panic and kicked the plastic stool aside.
"Woo..."
Xiao Niao shivered and took a deep breath of oxygen. His wildly fluctuating emotions stabilized again and he whimpered with joy at surviving the disaster.
She lay back down, relaxed, and began to spray white mist evenly onto the mask.
Chapter 2 suddenly became heavy
"...Anyway, that's what happened."
The man who was speaking suddenly slapped his thigh, and his whole body shook with laughter. The barbell-like laughter echoed demonically in the office.
"Oh, Doctor Chen, you don't know. Old Li's face turned green at that time - he was so embarrassed to do this in front of so many students!"
The man called Doctor Chen's eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.
This incident would probably become a highlight in the career of the attending physician, and a laughing stock for his colleagues for the whole year... Just imagining it made her want to take a train and leave the city overnight.
If he continued to talk about this gossip, he would lose all his merits. Dr. Chen quickly coughed and changed the subject in an unnatural way.
"By the way, how did the patient become? Nothing happened, I hope." She asked casually.
"No, we were all very nervous. The hospital was also worried that something might happen to someone. They sent him for a checkup right away. They did a brain CT scan, a blood test, and cardiopulmonary biochemistry tests. They were worried that something might happen."
"What a coincidence," the gossiping colleague rubbed his chin, "Doctor Chen, you don't know
You know, the patient with the oxygen tube pressed in was the one who was sent here after the car accident a few weeks ago. His name seems to be... Xiao something..."
Before his colleague finished speaking, Dr. Chen, who had been writing carelessly in the notebook in front of him, suddenly froze for a moment, and the ballpoint pen in his hand also stopped.
But her colleagues didn't notice anything unusual about her and continued talking.
"Oh, I can't remember the name, but it must be that person!"
"This person hasn't woken up since leaving the emergency room. Her heart rate is very weak. During the two days when she stopped taking the medication, everyone thought she wouldn't make it... But after all this trouble, she actually woke up."
The suspension of medication here refers to the fact that Xiao Niao’s treatment was suspended by the hospital due to unpaid bills.
When the emergency room treats a patient, there is no immediate payment requirement, but follow-up treatment requires money to follow up - if there is no money, even the best doctor can do nothing but stop the patient's medication.
Xiao Niao was seriously injured, and the money in her bank account was deducted when she was taken out of the emergency room. The school organized donations for her and the perpetrator also compensated part of her medical expenses, but even so, the money was still not enough after more than ten days.
However, shortly after stopping the medication, a sum of money was inexplicably transferred to the hospital's account, which paid off the outstanding debt and also covered the subsequent treatment costs.
Although the hospital was a little confused, since there was still money in the account, they continued with the treatment.
This story was full of twists and turns and really had the flavor of an urban legend. My colleagues sighed a little, thinking that fate was indeed very fickle and the human body was really amazing.
However, his colleagues failed to notice that Dr. Chen had not spoken a word since the beginning. He seemed to be immersed in thought and completely ignoring the changes in the outside world.
She suddenly looked up and out the window, then after a few seconds of silence, she lowered her head again. "...What are the results of the examination?"
Colleagues thought Dr. Chen's reaction was a bit strange.
But he didn't think too much about it and replied casually, "Ah, I should be fine, right? Liver and kidney function tests are normal, blood routine and blood sugar levels are also normal... I'm just a little listless."
It's impossible not to feel depressed. No kidding, Xiao Niao almost died. She felt dizzy when she saw her grandmother waving at her - it's your turn to suffer this sin, and you are depressed too.
However, it is really rare for someone to recover to this extent after being in a coma for almost a month after a car accident.
After all, falling into a coma due to a car accident is very likely to be caused by nerve damage or intracranial injury, and the probability of recovery is really small. There are many examples of people suddenly dying a few hours after waking up.
Because of this, Xiao Niao currently needs to stay in the intensive care unit for observation for a period of time.
Dr. Chen nodded and didn't ask any other questions.
Perhaps she thought of something, the doctor's hands began to sweat slightly, making the fingertips holding the pen a little slippery. Her heartbeat quickened and her breathing became heavier.
Doctor Chen clenched her pen, looked at the half-written medical record on the table, and her fingers began to move again absentmindedly.
------
On the other side, in the intensive care unit.
Xiao Niao had just finished the last examination item and was pushed back to his original position by the nurse to continue lying dead.
She had a brief moment of life when fate was strangling her oxygen tube, but now she has become like a frost-bitten cabbage again. Although she is not paralyzed on one side of her body, she basically feels pain wherever she moves.
The oxygen mask had been removed by now. After examination, the doctors determined that the bird could maintain independent breathing, so they removed the ventilator.
The series of examinations was actually quite tiring. Xiao Niao felt a little sleepy again, but since she had been in a dark sleep for a long time before, and now that she had finally woken up, she really didn't want to fall asleep again.
She looked at her left arm in disbelief, and tried to close her five fingers awkwardly - her reaction was quite slow - then Xiao Niao tried to raise her hand again, but her left arm still didn't cooperate.
This is not surprising. When the bird was still half-human, it took it a long time to adapt to its left wing, because compared with the normal human arm, the weight, structure and flexibility of the wing are very different.
Because wings are covered with feathers, they are less sensitive to touch than the skin, their weight is completely different from that of the arms, and the movements they can make are very limited.
Xiao Niao felt a little unfamiliar with the feeling of regaining her left arm. She moved her fingers a little flattered and felt the dull pain when the indwelling needle was pulled.
She thought it would take her some time to learn to use this hand again.
In addition to Xiaoniao, there are two other patients in the same ward. One of them is sitting at the door with a thermos bucket, drinking red date and black chicken soup, filling the whole room with the fragrant smell of soup.
This is probably the scent molecule that most easily reminds people of home. It will inevitably cling to those who have returned home from a long journey, evoking a lingering and tooth-aching addiction.
Xiao Niao was lying on the bed receiving an IV drip, silently licking his cracked lips, missing his mother a little.
It was not until this moment that she really felt like she was back in the real world. A familiar warm smell was floating in the air. The air conditioner was on in the room, and the warmth was so cozy that it made her bones go weak. The pain pump was working quietly, and the machine made a slight humming sound as it operated.
