Chapter 489: The Human World

Children's wards in hospitals have completely different decorations than adult wards.

The large floor-to-ceiling glass allows light to flow in unscrupulously, illuminating the lively corridor. The walls of the hallway are painted pink and blue, with occasional splashes of bright yellow. Many cute cartoon characters are posted in the corridors, including Doraemon, Pikachu and Charmander from Pokémon, and One Piece and Naruto.

The life here is very different from other wards in the hospital. It is no longer a monotonous white wall, and even the doors of each ward have different decorative designs. Some are designed as the compartment door of a submarine, some are designed in the shape of the door of the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, and some are decorated with decorative door stickers to pretend that they are ninja sliding doors in Naruto.

Even the nurses here are not wearing pure white nurse uniforms, but pink and white nurse uniforms with various small decorations on the nurse caps. Some are clipping a little yellow duck on the nurse's cap, or clipping two rabbit ears, or clipping a small wobbly doll with a big head.

And unlike other inpatient departments of the hospital, which are very quiet, some joking sounds can always be heard here. Even if it is (note)

Three children lived in Wang Jiajia's ward. Their ward was painted powder blue, and waves were drawn in dark blue at the base of the wall. Green seaweed and white bubble-like dots on the wall make the whole wall look more vivid. The clownfish Nemo and his friends are swimming in the ocean on the wall, and everyone is smiling.

Wang Jiajia's parents were a little annoyed that their daughter had stolen snacks, which caused the operation to be postponed. Fortunately, the head nurse said that she would help to coordinate. This made Wang Jiajia's parents feel better.

Zhang Tong came to the children's hospital area with Jiang Hua with apology.

"Wang Jiajia? Oh, she's in Ward No. 6, a room with the same door as a submarine hatch." The nurse at the nurse's desk directed Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua.

On the way, Jiang Hua also complained to Zhang Tong in a low voice: "You too, the little girl is going to have an operation, why do you buy her snacks?"

"I don't know." Zhang Tong felt aggrieved: "The girl didn't say she was going to have an operation. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy it for her. When I was a child, I watched TVB TV series and knew that I should not eat before the operation, otherwise I would be anesthetized." Sometimes, the trachea may be blocked and die due to food regurgitation. Please apologize to them this time, otherwise I will be very embarrassed."

In the ward, Wang Jiajia was sitting on the bed with three girls in the same ward playing strong hand chess. When the three girls were enjoying themselves, Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua pushed the door in.

"Ah!" Wang Jiajia saw someone coming in, and it was a stranger, so she hurriedly put on the woolen cap. But it was still a step too late, and Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua saw her bald head.

And Wang Jiajia's father, a middle-aged man who looked very refined, stood up and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

"Oh, I'm here to apologize." Zhang Tong told Wang Jiajia's parents what happened just now, and apologized repeatedly. Although Wang Jiajia's parents were a little grudged before, they couldn't say anything because of Zhang Tong's polite apology.

In addition to the three sick little girls in the ward, there were also family members of the three little girls. The family members gathered in the corner of the ward by the balcony.

"These three girls are all..." Jiang Hua hesitated to speak.

"It's all bone cancer." The parent of one of the girls knew what Jiang Hua wanted to ask, so he said directly: "The children living in the children's ward on this floor are all bone cancer."

"All of them?" Zhang Tong confirmed again.

"Yes." Wang Jiajia's father nodded, "Because bone cancer mostly occurs in children and teenagers in the growth period. The children in the 60 hospital beds on this floor are all bone cancer patients, and some of them are still undergoing radiotherapy. Chemotherapy, some require surgery, and those who are unlucky will have to amputate." Wang Jiajia's father said the word amputation in a very low voice, for fear of being heard by a few little girls.

"Really, really..." Jiang Hua wanted to say something twice in a row, but he didn't say it in the end.

She shook her head: "My dad has a tumor in his body, and I'm already worried about it."

Sometimes patients and their family members will establish some special feelings with each other, and it is easier to communicate because they feel sympathy for each other. The family members of several girls asked about Jiang Hua's father's condition, and said with emotion: "Then your father's condition is still very good. It's a benign tumor, it shouldn't be a big problem if you cut it off. The surgeon you mentioned is Dr. Lin Right. I asked specifically, Dr. Lin has a very high success rate in these surgeries in the capital, and she has never failed to remove all kinds of tumors and cancerous internal organs.”

This is indeed true, after all, not every doctor has a pair of MRI-like eyes. Not every doctor can control a supernatural thread that is sharper than a scalpel.

"Well, Miss Jiang. You and Dr. Lin are friends. Can you talk to Dr. Lin for me and ask her to help me out. I only have this daughter. As long as I can cure my daughter's illness, I will agree to anything. "Wang Jiajia's mother said to Jiang Hua in a low voice.

Wang Jiajia's father walked up to his daughter and wanted to touch her head. It has become a habit for him to touch his daughter's head like this. But this time, before touching him, Wang Jiajia opened his hand. Wang Jiajia said angrily, "Dad, don't touch my head. It's all your fault for touching my hair!"

"Huh? Who told you?"

"Mom said, Mom said it's your fault for touching my head all the time, which made me lose all my hair. You can't touch my head in the future, and I want to grow my hair back! Hmph!" Wang Jiajia snorted angrily. Pushed his father.

"Okay, okay, okay." Wang Jiajia's father could only respond with a wry smile.

At this time, a parent said to the three girls: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let me take a picture for everyone, okay?"

"No, it's so ugly." An older girl who looked like she was eleven or twelve years old pouted and said, "I don't take pictures now that I'm bald."

"You can wear a hat."

"It's ugly even if you wear it!" The girl was very stubborn.

The girl's mother was a little embarrassed. At this time, Zhang Tong said to Jiang Hua: "Wait for me here, I'll go out and buy something."

"I can't have a good time during the Spring Festival. There is nothing delicious." Another girl also pouted, a little sullen: "I really want to eat Dexter's pistol chicken drumsticks and Coco's milk tea."

Her father said comfortingly: "I'm hospitalized, those things must not be eaten. I'll take you to eat them after the illness is cured." Although he knew that fried food is a carcinogen, he would definitely not let his daughter eat it in the future, but Now he can only lie to his daughter.

"The treatment is so uncomfortable, and the medicine is so uncomfortable (chemotherapy). My mouth is bitter and sour. I can't eat for two days after taking the medicine. And I feel like vomiting." The girl is very resistant to chemotherapy.

Wang Jiajia found a pack of candy from her drawer and handed it to the young lady: "Eating this candy will not be bitter. Every time I drink the medicine, my mouth is painful, so I put a candy in my mouth."

"Thank you." The girl took the candy from Wang Jiajia, and then pinched Wang Jiajia's little face. Wang Jiajia is one of the youngest children in this ward.

Wang Jiajia's father said: "It's okay, after Dr. Lin performs the operation on you, you just need to hang some medicine and you will be cured and discharged from the hospital."

One of the girls said: "I heard my mother talking to a doctor before, saying that I want to amputate, I don't want amputation. Saw my leg, I would rather jump off the top and die." The 12-year-old girl already has It's her own idea, losing a leg is worse than death for her. As she spoke, the girl's eyes turned red, and the girl's mother immediately put her arms around the girl and said, "I don't amputate my legs, I don't reject them. The doctor came from the capital this time. She is very skilled in medicine and doesn't know how to amputate her legs." .”

Jiang Hua watched all this and didn't know how to communicate with these girls. After all, this is not her strong point, and she is even a little embarrassed, why Zhang Tong hasn't come back yet.

And Jiang Hua hadn't waited for Zhang Tong to come back, but he had waited for a special performance.

A fourteen-year-old boy is dressed as the red-haired Shanks from One Piece, wearing an open white shirt and cos matching pants. Wearing Shanks' iconic cloak and red hair, he also holds a katana for cosplay in his right hand, while his left hand is as empty as Shanks. He swaggered past each ward and yelled loudly: "The red-haired pirates are recruiting for the new year, who wants to go with me to find the treasure of One Piece and start a new era!"

Wherever the boy went, a large number of new pirate members were recruited, and the children were very happy, patrolling the territory in the swaggering hospital corridor. Because it was the New Year, and because the patients were a group of restless children, the sister nurses did not drive them away, but just reminded them not to make noise to others and let the children go to play by themselves.

Wang Jiajia and the other three girls also ran out to play around with the red-haired Shanks before coming back. The foreheads of the three were a little sweaty.

At this time, Zhang Tong also came back, still holding a big bag in his hand.

"What's inside?" Jiang Hua was a little curious, and she didn't know what it was until she took it out.

"wig?!"

"Yes." Zhang Tong panted heavily.

"Where did you buy the wig on New Year's Day?" Jiang Hua was incredulous.

"Look around and there will always be something for sale." Zhang Tong smiled, and gave the wig to Wang Jiajia and other three little girls: "You can choose a hairstyle you like. I bought a lot, and you can share it with other wigs." friend."

"I want this!" The three girls took off their hats without hesitation at this time, and put on their favorite hairstyles.

The girl's family members blamed themselves and said, "We all forgot..."

"Today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, you get together, let me take a group photo for you." Zhang Tong greeted the three girls and their families. In a small ward, three families who had never met before became a big family.

—————————

The red-haired boy Shanks returned to his room, took off his cosplay suit and changed back to his hospital gown, he looked at Dr. Lin Xiao who came to make the rounds and asked, "Doctor, am I dying soon? "

Lin Xiao frowned and looked at the boy: "Huh?"

"I heard it secretly before. My previous attending physician told my parents that my cancer cells had spread to the lymph. I knew that if the cancer cells spread to the lymph, it would definitely be hopeless. Now I can get out of bed and walk around very quickly. Tired. I should be dying soon." The boy looked up at the ceiling. He said lightly: "I can't go on anymore, doctor. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are so uncomfortable. The organs in my body are all broken. Can I be euthanized? I have already amputated one hand. I don't want to torture anymore. Let I will be euthanized, donate whatever is useful on my body, the internal organs are useless, but the cornea is still useful and can be donated.”

Lin Xiao took a picture of the case on the bed, and she said with a cold expression: "I am the one who treated you. I haven't said you are dead yet, so you can't die yet."

ps: On the last day of May, ask for tickets!

Note: I saw a children's hospital like this when I was visiting patients in Shanghai. Forgot the exact name, but everything is exactly as described in my book.
