After Mr. Shui Gui left the room, Lin Lin turned his attention back to the patient.
He said gently, "Okay, there are only two of us here now, don't be nervous or afraid."
"I just want to understand your condition so I can better help you."
The patient's tense expression eased slightly, but he was still hesitant and did not speak.
Lin Lin gently patted the patient's shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry, your symptoms are private and we will keep them strictly confidential."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Lin added, "Don't worry! I will never disclose this information to anyone without your permission."
Hearing this, the man's tense expression gradually relaxed, as if a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Lin Lin smiled and said, "If you're still worried, we can talk about other topics first, such as your work or life experiences."
Lin Lin's smile is like the warm sunshine in spring, making people feel extremely warm and at ease.
“This will also allow us to get to know each other better.”
"Of course, if you'd like, you can also introduce yourself."
Lin Lin blinked at him with encouragement in his eyes.
"Once everyone is familiar with each other, we can discuss your medical condition in depth."
When she spoke, there was always a kind smile on her face, which made people want to get close to her.
The man hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
He only whispered, "My name is Xiao Shuai, and I currently work in the kitchen of the Abyss Hotel."
"Mr. Shui Gui is my distant relative. It was through him that I was able to work at the Abyss Hotel."
…………
Lin Lin then asked, "So is this illness related to your work in the kitchen of the Abyss Hotel?"
Upon hearing this question, Xiao Shuai's face instantly turned red, like a cooked shrimp.
He remained silent and just nodded slightly.
Lin Lin continued, "Would you mind telling me the details of this incident?"
Xiao Shuai murmured, "The Abyss Hotel passed the assessment that day, and the kitchen helpers all received a large green fruit."
Lin Lin stood quietly by the side, not interrupting him, just listening attentively.
Xiao Shuai continued, "I've never seen this before, and I don't know how to eat it. Seeing other helpers taking the fruit home, I took it back to my dormitory too."
"That night, I just came out of the shower and saw the big green fruit on the table. I thought I could just wash it and eat it directly."
"So, I walked over, picked up the fruit, and prepared to wash it, but I slipped and fell in the toilet..."
Xiao Shuai's voice paused and stopped here without continuing.
At first, Lin Lin didn't quite understand.
She frowned and asked softly, "And then? What happened after you fell?"
Xiao Shuai took a deep breath and said slowly, "After I fell, I felt dizzy. When I came to my senses, I found that the big green fruit was gone."
"When I slowly returned to the bed, I found that my stomach was bulging." Xiao Shuai said.
Lin Lin tried his best to control his expression, but there was still a hint of shock in his voice.
She just said, "You mean, you accidentally fell and the green fruit went into your stomach?"
Xiao Shuai's face flushed and he nodded embarrassedly.
Lin Lin's brain was working rapidly, thinking about various possibilities.
"Did you feel anything special afterwards? Like stomachache, nausea, etc." Lin Lin asked anxiously.
Xiao Shuai thought for a moment and said, "I didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, I felt like there was a fire burning in my stomach, and it was getting hotter and hotter."
Lin Lin frowned, "Have you seen another doctor or told anyone about this situation?"
Xiao Shuai shook his head slightly, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and said softly: "I dare not tell others, for fear that they will laugh at me."
There was a hint of regret and uneasiness in his eyes.
"I thought I could get that thing out myself, but I never could."
"Moreover, the location of that thing is getting deeper and deeper."
After saying that, Xiao Shuai bit his lips, lowered his head unconsciously, and gently twisted his hands together.
For a moment, Lin Lin didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere at the scene became somewhat gloomy and depressing.
Xiao Shuai's face was filled with fear, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Will it be serious?"
The silence lasted for a long time before Lin Lin slowly spoke, "Don't worry. We can't be sure of the exact condition of your abdominal cavity at the moment. We need to do some detailed examinations."
Xiao Shuai said, "Yes! I'll do any examination."
Lin Lin said, "We need to call two doctors for a consultation, because I'm not sure about your condition..."
"Then...then can you not tell my uncle? I'm afraid he'll tell my dad and my dad will beat me up."
Lin Lin thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Shuai and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, I will do my best to protect your privacy and will not tell anyone about this until the specific situation is confirmed."
"This is both a professional ethics as a doctor and a respect for your personal rights."
When Xiao Shuai heard this, the anxiety in his eyes eased a little, but he still frowned tightly, his heart full of worry.
Lin Lin continued, "However, after all the test results come out, if the situation is serious, we will have to inform Mr. Shui Gui and have him notify your family."
"After all, they also have the right to know about your condition, and their full support and active cooperation are also needed in the subsequent treatment process."
After hearing this, Xiao Shuai felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart. He was extremely reluctant to let his family know about his illness.
When he thought about his relatives' reactions when they found out, he was filled with worry. He was afraid to see their worried eyes, and even more afraid to face possible blame.
However, reason told him that in order for the subsequent treatment to proceed smoothly, he could not only consider his own feelings.
After a fierce ideological struggle, he slowly raised his head. Although there was still a hint of helplessness and uneasiness in his eyes, he nodded firmly to show his understanding and acceptance.
Looking at Xiao Shuai, who looked a little anxious, Lin Lin comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Ankang Hospital has many experienced doctors. Most diseases can be effectively treated here."
Xiao Shuai nodded gratefully. Although he was still filled with fear, he felt a little relieved.
Upon seeing this, Lin Lin immediately began to arrange various examinations and consultations.
