Chapter 371
People were coming and going in the hospital, and noisy sounds echoed in the hall. Su Yuan was rushing to register, while Su Hui considerately accompanied Su Miao, sitting on a bench outside the emergency room waiting.
Because of the weather, quite a few people are sick. They are either wrapped in thick coats or wearing masks, with fatigue and discomfort on their faces.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, the nurse finally called Su Miao's name.
"Su Miao! Is Su Miao here?"
“Yes! Yes!”
Su Yuanzheng stood up, answered loudly, and reached out to take his daughter's hand and lead her into the emergency room.
There was a long list of medical records on the doctor's desk, all of which were for patients waiting in line behind him.
The doctor in charge was a female doctor in her forties. She gestured for Su Miao to sit on a stool and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Miao replied, "I started feeling a bit chilly around 2pm, and then it got colder and colder. At 4pm, I started to ache all over and had a fever. Then I noticed a rash on the back of my neck and chest."
"Have you taken your temperature at home?"
"Not yet. We rushed here because the temperature was so high." Su Yuanzheng explained.
"It's okay, measure it now."
There was a small brown medicine bottle on the doctor's desk. It seemed to contain cotton dipped in alcohol and two mercury thermometers. She took out the thermometer, wiped it with dry cotton pads, and handed it to Su Miao.
Su Miao took the thermometer and carefully held it under her armpit. The cold touch made her shiver slightly.
The doctor picked up the stethoscope and gently felt Su Miao's chest. Then he slowly walked behind her, carefully examined the back of her neck, and gently flipped her hair.
"Well, you have a rash on your head too. Have you ever had measles or chickenpox before?"
The doctor asked questions while examining the patient.
Su Yuanzheng answered without hesitation: "I had measles when I was 5 years old, but I have never had chickenpox."
The doctor looked at Su Miao carefully again and said, "She must have been infected with chickenpox. Such a beautiful girl, it's better for her to have gotten it when she was a child.
If I get scars now that I'm older, it won't be easy to heal. If it gets itchy, I'll have to control my hands and not scratch it."
Su Miao nodded obediently, but she was complaining in her heart: "No way, no way, he's still getting chickenpox at this age, won't it be all over his face?"
The thermometer needs to be placed under the armpit for 5-10 minutes. There were many patients waiting behind her, so the doctor asked her to sit aside and wait for a while.
After seeing two more patients with fever and cold, the doctor asked Su Miao to take out the thermometer and turn it towards the light so that he could see the red line.
"It's 39 degrees Celsius, a high fever. I need an IV drip and some chicken pox medicine.
Your condition develops faster than others. You start to get a rash as soon as you develop a fever, and soon you develop transparent chickenpox. After another two days, the water in the chickenpox changes, and then it collapses and forms a scab.
The rash will spread and grow larger than it is now. This is normal. As long as the fever subsides, everything will be fine.
Rub it with gentian violet, don't scratch it, drink plenty of water, and eat more bland food and fruits and vegetables."
Su Miao listened and nodded seriously. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but after coming to the hospital, her muscles seemed to be less painful.
She muttered to herself: This is really strange, this virus is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, it gets scared when it sees the doctor.
The doctor wrote flamboyantly on the medical record and continued, "You're still in school, right? You can't go to school if you get chickenpox. You need to rest at home for at least two weeks.
Anyone in my family who hasn't had chickenpox should keep their distance. Chickenpox is highly contagious. If I hadn't had chickenpox before, I would have gotten it if we had stayed at this distance and talked for so long.
After that, he handed the written medical record and bill to Su Yuanzheng: "Okay, go pay the bill, and then go to the next room to get the IV."
Su Yuanzheng took the bill, trotted all the way to pay the bill, and then went to get the medicine without stopping.
Opposite the infusion room was the pharmacy. After the nurse carefully checked the list, she loudly called Su Miao over for a skin test.
Because he was wearing a lot of clothes, Su Miao had to work very hard to free his shoulders.
The nurse took a small syringe and skillfully injected her with it. A small bump instantly appeared on her skin. It might be because of the different sensitivity of the injection site. Su Miao always felt that the pain of the skin test was second only to the injection in the buttocks, and more painful than the intravenous injection.
The nurse instructed, "Wait twenty minutes. Only when everything is OK can you get the IV. You can sit in the IV room. I'll come find you when the time comes."
The infusion room is very large and can accommodate several rows of chairs with backrests and armrests. At this time, many patients are already sitting there receiving infusions.
The infusion time is very long. Maybe because they don’t want everyone to get bored, they put a big TV in the infusion room, and it was playing cartoons.
Su Miao chose a seat where he could watch TV.
Su Yuanzheng said to the two of them, "Ahui, you stay here with Miaomiao first. I'll go back and get some food for you."
Su Miao said, "Sister Hui, please go back too. I have chickenpox, which is contagious. I can stay here by myself."
"It's okay. I had chickenpox when I was a kid, so it's not contagious. You'll need an IV drip later, so someone should stay with you. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient if you need to go to the bathroom during the procedure."
So, Su Hui stayed here to accompany her, and Su Yuanzheng hurried back to cook.
It was just time to get off work, and the show "Black Cat Sheriff" was playing on TV. The two sisters were watching it with great interest.
"Miao, seriously, how come a good cartoon only has five episodes? I know the plot by heart, but I still enjoy watching it."
“This is due to multiple reasons.”
"What's the reason? I remember the subtitles said "Please watch the next episode" at that time, but then it disappeared."
"The more mainstream theory is that the cartoon received complaints from many parents for being too bloody and violent, so the studio forced the director, Grandpa, to retire early.
Secondly, there was a copyright dispute with the original author, so we stopped cooperating.
The studios were hit by the market, lost talent, and were unable to maintain high-quality publishing, which may also be one of the reasons. "
"Ah...it's such a pity. I don't know if I will have the chance to see new plots in the future." Su Hui felt a little disappointed and sighed softly.
Su Miao shook his head and said he didn't know. After the fifth episode of "Black Cat Sheriff" was broadcast in 1987, there was no subsequent production.
But after being off the air for a while, because the market feedback was still very enthusiastic, all subsequent episodes have been rebroadcast.
According to this situation, there should be a high possibility of resuming it.
But it was a pity that she did not see the sixth episode until 1997.
