Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

    Since Xu Rendong came out dizzy this time, and even Qiao had tape on his mouth, no one could hear the vague words. But anyway, entanglement is useless, Xu Rendong is too lazy to care.

    Return to this world, the years are quiet. The two spent a peaceful and sweet weekend at home and arrived at the hospital early on Monday.

     Even Qiao's foot injury was not due for re-examination, but Ren Dong was worried that he was exercising too much in the copy, which would affect the prognosis, so he made an appointment with the chief surgeon in advance.

    The Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology was overcrowded, and each wounded was accompanied by at least one family member, so the entire waiting area was a mess. Ren Dong placed a number on Lian Qiao and planned to find a place to sit and wait, but Lian Qiao said, "Let's go to the Cardiology Department first."

    Xu Rendong was taken aback: "What are you doing in your heart?"

    Lian Qiao said in surprise: "Why did you forget? You promised me that you will come to the Cardiology Department after the copy is issued to find out what is going on with your heart."

    Xu Rendong then remembered that just after being resurrected in the elevator during this reincarnation, his heart was so painful that he curled up into a ball, unable to stand upright for a long time.

    He didn't take it seriously, after all, he has experienced more pain than this. But even Joe insisted on taking him to check, he couldn't resist.

    Cardiology specialist number 1 is hard to find, Xu Rendong is a first-time diagnosis, and without an appointment, naturally he can't get the number. Lian Qiao was limping and wanted to go to the triage desk to find out which specialist was better. Ren Dong tugged at his sleeve and shook his head.

    "You don't have to see a specialist, just call a regular account. I'm so young, what could be wrong with my heart."

    Actually, he knew why he felt heartache—Lian Qiao just died tragically in front of him in the last reincarnation. It's just that Lian Qiao couldn't say these words, so he could only pretend to be carefree and didn't care about his illness.

    Lian Qiao frowned, obviously unwilling to agree. The nurse in front of the triage table pushed on her glasses and interjected: "It's your first time here, so you really don't need to rush to see a specialist. Go to the doctor first, ask about the condition, and do any tests first. Wait for the results to come out. Wouldn't it be more time-saving to show it to an expert?"

    Lian Qiao thought about it and agreed. The two went to the registration window to line up again, and got an ordinary number from the Cardiology Department. This time, Xu Rendong's name was quickly called in the broadcast, and he was arranged to go to the last clinic in the corridor to see a doctor.

    "Hello." As soon as Xu Rendong entered the room, he habitually said hello.

    A stack of medical records and a desktop computer are placed on the desk. The young female doctor with a ponytail raised her head from behind the desktop, her clear eyes behind black-rimmed glasses, the moment she saw Xu Rendong, her pupils shrank slightly.

    "It's you?"

    "How are you?"

    Lian Qiao and the female doctor exclaimed together, but Xu Rendong was stunned. He looked at the female doctor and then at Lian Qiao: "Do you know each other?"

    Hearing this, even Joe was even more surprised. He opened his eyes wide and pointed his hand to the desk: "Jiang Li! You don't know him? The one in the Russian nesting doll!"

    Xu Rendong followed his fingers and saw a brand name on the desk with the words "Jiang Li's Attending Physician" written on it. The Russian nesting doll was his first copy, which was 400,000 words away, and he certainly did not remember the face of this woman. But as soon as he saw the word "Jiang Li", he subconsciously felt a chill in his neck and immediately thought of this person.

    Isn’t this the one who wiped his neck with kindness and revenge!

    Xu Rendong couldn't help but change her face, and said "oh" in a complicated mood.

    "...let's see a doctor first." Jiang Li was wearing a white coat, and he still had professionalism. She glanced at the registration form in Lian Qiao's hand, clicked the mouse, and Xu Rendong's medical information appeared on the computer screen. She started typing on the keyboard while inquiring, "Why are you uncomfortable?"

    Xu Rendong was not very comfortable, he really didn't dare to see a doctor in Jiang Li's hands, and he was even more afraid that his ID card, home address and other information would be displayed on the computer. Lian Qiao knew nothing about the tragedies he had experienced, but felt that he had met an acquaintance, and told her Xu Rendong's situation with great peace of mind.

    Jiang Li recounted while recording: "It used to hurt before, but has it gotten worse recently?"

    Xu Rendong nodded.

    Jiang Li left out a pile of checklists and explained to him the same way, why to do it, where to do it, and how long it would take to get the report... Patient and meticulous, with a calm tone, but she only said anything about the copy Not mentioned, as if Xu Rendong was just a strange common patient.

    The two left the clinic, Xu Rendong still had a trance and unreal feeling. On the contrary, Lian Qiao had already begun to search for the location of the blood drawing window.

    Lian Qiao was leaning on crutches, obviously he was still a lame patient, but he held a checklist and took Xu Rendong to check around. Xu Rendong saw that he was familiar with the road and seemed to be familiar with the hospital. When queuing at the door of the ECG room, he asked, "Is there anyone in your family who is a doctor?"

    Lian Qiao's expression suffocated, then he turned his head and smiled at him: "Yes. Both my parents."

    Xu Rendong made an "oh" sound, without thinking much, and moved her gaze into the distance. However, Lian Qiao slowly moved the two crutches together, freeing up one hand, and gently held Ren Dong's hand.

    People came and went in the hallway, even Joe with his sleeves covered, no one would notice that the two young men secretly intertwined their fingers.

    Honeysuckle felt a little strange and looked at him questioningly. Lian Qiao touched her nose and said uneasy and apologetically, "I'm sorry, I should have brought you home earlier to meet my parents. But..."

    Xu Rendong remembered that they had talked about this topic. Although Lian Qiao is an internet celebrity anchor with millions of fans, she is actually still running away from home. His parents think that playing games is not doing a good job, let alone staying at home all day long and doing live broadcasts. The conflict has not been resolved until now, and bringing a **** person back at such a time is obviously adding fuel to the fire.

    Xu Rendong was not in a hurry to meet her parents, but felt that as an older person, she should give Lian Qiao some help and advice. Unfortunately, he is an orphan himself, and without experience in this area, he really can't think of anything.

    Fortunately, the ECG room called Xu Rendong's name at this time, ending this embarrassing topic.

    The curtain was drawn, Xu Rendong took off his shirt and lay on the examination bed. He was examined by a very young female doctor, wearing a hat and mask, unable to see her face, only showing a pair of **** eyes, shy and embarrassed to look at him.

    Xu Rendong looked at the ceiling, still thinking about what happened just now. Suddenly I heard the little doctor say "Huh".

    "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Xu Rendong turned his head to the side, the little doctor stared at the computer screen, his delicate brows furrowed deeply.

    As soon as she opened her mouth, she comforted: "There is a small problem on the electrocardiogram, don't worry, I will call your outpatient doctor first."

    Xu Rendong is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and he doesn't care about small problems like heart disease. He stared at the pale fluorescent lamps on the ceiling, and his heart felt like water, and he vaguely heard the little doctor say to the other end of the phone:

    "ST segment elevation... um, but it doesn't look like acute myocardial infarction... No medical history? I haven't checked it before? It's hard to say..."

    When the little doctor came back, Xu Rendong had already put on his clothes. He sat on the examination bed and looked at the petite female doctor calmly: "How is it?"

    The little doctor said: "Dr. Jiang asked you to do another echocardiography... Well, it is a color echo of the heart. She said that the list has been given to you."

    Xu Rendong wasn't sure if Lian Qiao had a heart attack in the list in his hand, so he called him in. Lian Qiao felt that Ren Dong had stayed in it for much longer than the others, and he had already begun to feel uneasy in his heart. Now that he was called in alone, he was even more nervous.

    The little doctor showed them the way to the B-ultrasound room, and at the end he comforted: "Don't be afraid, it's nothing major, just rule out other problems."

    Xu Rendong had a very good impression of this little girl.

    When I came to the B-ultrasound room, a lot of people lined up again. This time he was examined by a middle-aged bald male doctor, who was not as gentle and meticulous as the little doctor.

    The male doctor squeezed some ice-cold transparent liquid on his chest, and then took the instrument and smeared on his chest for a while. Not to mention uncomfortable, just weirdly cold and itchy. After the examination was over, the male doctor threw him a stack of straw papers and said with a blank face, "It's done. Wipe it yourself."

    Xu Rendong: "..." As if he had met a ruthless scumbag.

    Reports coming soon. Lian Qiao frowned when he saw it.

    Although Xu Rendong couldn't understand the description above, but just by seeing the words "decreased" and "lack of movement", he knew that the heart was not normal.

    The two finished all the inspections and went to Jiang Li with the report. Jiang Li was sitting in front of the computer, and as soon as he saw Xu Rendong, he said, "I have already read the report on the computer. There is something wrong with your heart..." She paused for a while, as if she was thinking about the words, and then gestured with her eyes. Joe closed the door of the clinic.

    Lian Qiao quickly closed the door and asked, "What's the problem? Is it serious?"

    Jiang Li didn't answer him, just looked at Xu Rendong and said, "Have you been emotionally stimulated recently?"

    Xu Rendong thought about it and said, "I'm a little nervous."

    "It's not just nervousness." Jiang Li took out a pen and paper and drew an electrocardiogram on the white paper, "Look, a normal person's electrocardiogram looks like this. And yours—" she pointed out Looking at several strange waveforms on Xu Rendong's electrocardiogram, he said, "Do you look at these waves, do they look like a crock pot?"

    Xu Rendong and Lian Qiao got together to look at the electrocardiogram, and they really saw the meaning.

    Jiang Li said: "This is a very special waveform, indicating that you may have a very rare heart disease. The Japanese who discovered this disease gave it a vivid name, It's called 'octopus pot cardiomyopathy' because the electrocardiogram looks like the pot that Japanese people use to catch octopus. In fact, this disease has a more popular name..."

    "—Broken Heart Syndrome."

    Lian Qiao was stunned, and immediately turned to look at Xu Rendong. Xu Rendong was not very surprised by the result. He nodded, accepted the reality, and asked, "Will it die? Is there any help?"

    Jiang Li smiled and said, "It's not that serious. This kind of disease usually doesn't show any symptoms, and it only develops when you have severe emotional ups and downs. But the problem is... you know."

    Xu Rendong nodded calmly. In the dungeon, ghosts are rampant, and people will die at every turn.

    You can't bring a rosary to chanting 24 hours a day to keep your mind calm.

    Lian Qiao frowned, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

    Jiang Li said there was no cure for this disease. The disease is originally caused by severe emotional stimulation, as long as it is not stimulated, there is no possibility of radical cure. She prescribed some emergency medicine for Rendong, and was about to habitually ask two words, thinking that Xu Rendong could not do it, so she didn't say it.

    The two were about to leave the clinic, but Jiang Li stopped them and said, "Remember Yuan Xueming?"

    Xu Rendong thought for a while, and finally remembered the big brother-like character in the first copy.

    Jiang Li said: "He lives in the ICU of our hospital. Would you like to visit him?"

    Xu Rendong turned to look at Lian Qiao: "Are you going?"

    Since Jiang Li announced his diagnosis, he felt that Lian Qiao's heart had been heavy. He didn't want to go home early to coax Lian Qiao. Unexpectedly, Lian Qiao has returned to his usual expression at this moment, smiled at him slightly, and said with curly eyebrows: "It's all here."

    Ok, then go.

    ICU visits are only half an hour a day. It stands to reason that family members are not allowed to enter the ICU during non-visiting hours, but Jiang Li wore a white coat and led the two of them through the staff passage, and entered the intensive care unit without any obstacles.

    A nurse sits in front of each bed in the ICU, lowering her head to record something, looking up from time to time to glance at the monitor. Yuan Xueming's bed was in the innermost one. Lian Qiao of Ren Dong walked all the way and found that all the patients were in a coma, with tubes inserted in their bodies, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

    Coming to Yuan Xueming's bed, Xu Rendong saw a completely unfamiliar face. The man on the bed had sunken cheeks and his face was as blue and black as a dead man. Only the beating numbers on the monitor proved that he was not dead.

    Although Yuan Xueming in memory was sickly, it was far less scary than this time. Xu Rendong remembered what Yuan Xueming said at the time, "Only here do I feel that I am still alive", and he was very emotional.

    Jiang Li had something to do, so he left after entrusting the two to Yuan Xueming's bedside doctor.

    Xu Rendong is not Yuan Xueming's family after all, so he didn't ask any more questions after simply understanding the condition. The bed doctor has been in charge of Yuan Xueming for several months. The family members who came to visit have never seen the two of them, so I couldn't help but be a little curious: "Are you acquaintances of Jiang Li?"

    Xu Rendong casually said "yes", the bed doctor suddenly sighed and said, "Jiang Li is also pitiful."

    Honeysuckle and Qiao Qiqi showed a surprised look, and only then did they learn from the other party that Jiang Li's boyfriend passed away not long ago.

    No, it's not her boyfriend, it should be her husband. As early as a few months ago, when they came out of the doll copy, Jiang Li married her boyfriend. Jiang Li is a young backbone of the hospital and works in the busy cardiology department. He treats patients on the front line every day, and he doesn't even have time for his honeymoon.

    They planned to take a marriage leave at the end of the year to make up for this regret. Unexpectedly, Jiang Li's husband died just after the schedule was set.

    The cause of death was simple, acute myocardial infarction.

     Coincidentally, Jiang Li was on the night shift in the hospital that night and happened to rescue a patient with acute myocardial infarction. In the early hours of the morning, when she came out of the operating room and informed the patient's family that the operation was successful, she received a call from her father-in-law, telling her that she was gone.

    According to my father-in-law, my son felt chest tightness and discomfort before going to bed at night, but he didn't take it seriously. The old couple thought that their daughter-in-law was a doctor, and planned to show him the next day when their daughter-in-law came home. They didn't expect that this delay would be forever.

    "Acute myocardial infarction, although this problem is urgent, it is also a bit of an omen. If Jiang Li was not on the night shift that day, maybe he could have found it earlier. Send him for emergency surgery, and his life will be saved. It's a pity..." said the doctor in bed.

    Sounds like a missed opportunity for rescue, but Xu Rendong feels that the real cause of Jiang Li's lover's death may not be a heart attack, but something encountered in the copy. As for why Jiang Li did not enter the dungeon with his lover that night, but stayed on the night shift in the hospital, it is unknown.

    Xu Rendong recalled the short contact with Jiang Li just now, and she could not see the slightest grief in her. Back then, in order to save his lover, Jiang Li chopped up his benefactor Xu Rendong without hesitation. Now that her lover has died suddenly, it is impossible for her not to be sad.

    Xu Rendong suddenly thought that Jiang Li once said that broken heart syndrome is a very rare disease.

    So rare, she was able to diagnose it at a glance. Did you study the disease specifically, or...

    Out of the ICU, the sun is just right. Xu Rendong turned his head and saw that the sun had painted Lian Qiao's profile with a layer of gold border, like a beautiful teenager in a Japanese drama, with a gentle sadness.

    Aware of his gaze, Lian Qiao suddenly turned around, his eyebrows curved, and a warm smile appeared. The sadness is long gone.

    Xu Rendong stared at him for a long time, and suddenly thought: I can't die.

    Xu Rendong's sadness in spring and autumn stopped after leaving the hospital. And Lian Qiao's thousands of sorrows really started at this time.

    A few days later, Lian Qiao suddenly packed up and said he was going home.

    Xu Rendong asked him, why did he suddenly want to go home? How soon will you be back?

    Lian Qiao pulled the suitcase and said with a smile: Do you still need a reason to go home?

    Xu Rendong felt that what he said made sense, but ignored it, he did not answer the second question.
