Chapter 401: Thanks to the help of kind people, I survived
"Why are you here?" When Liang's father saw Aqiang, he raised his drooping eyelids.

"Second brother?!" Lizhi was sitting on the stool in a daze, not knowing what was going on until she saw her second brother come in. She stood up suddenly and used her good hand to pull his second brother.

"Is Litchi okay?" Liang Ziqiang asked his father, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"She's fine now, but I was really exhausted last night!"

Liang's father sat up on the bed and told Liang Ziqiang what had happened.

Yesterday afternoon, Liang's father drove his gondola and hurriedly delivered the lychees to the county hospital.

By this time, the regular outpatient clinics had closed and they were seeing the emergency department.

Fortunately, the doctor they met was quite knowledgeable about traumatic injuries. After taking one look at Lizhi's left elbow and touching it twice, he confirmed that it was dislocated.

At that time, the doctor asked Lizhi to hold it in, and then pulled and closed her elbows hard.

Naturally, Lizhi couldn't help it and screamed as if he was being ripped off.

But in just a moment, the elbow that had been aching felt a lot better and the dislocated joint was restored.

The doctor asked Lizhi if she had any other pain anywhere else on her body. Lizhi shook her head and said that the most painful part was her left elbow.

When it came to the small holes on the back of the right hand, the doctor was unsure. It didn't seem right to say they were bitten, but he was also unsure if they were not bitten.

When asked whether she was bitten by a snake at that time, Lizhi became more confused as soon as she opened her mouth. As for the shape and characteristics of the snake, Lizhi was even more confused and could not give a single answer.

The doctor was also a little worried, so he prescribed a snake medicine tablet that was generally effective against bites from any venomous snake.

The medicine was called "Jidesheng Snake Tablets", which could be used externally or internally. I asked her to take the tablets, and then mixed a few more tablets with warm water and applied them to her wound.

But using this medicine alone is not absolutely safe, so the doctor asked her to stay in a ward with an empty bed and monitor the situation at night.

Lizhi was confused and didn't understand anything. Liang's father had been running here and there. When he finished his work and came into the room, he remembered that he had not had time to eat dinner. His stomach felt uncomfortable at first, and soon it hurt so much that he couldn't straighten his back.

The room was quite crowded. There was a pair of brothers sitting on another bed next to me. I could tell their last names when the nurse called them.

The younger brother is only about twelve or thirteen years old, and the older brother should be eighteen or nineteen.

The younger brother probably sprained his foot, so his elder brother took him to the hospital. After running around and taking care of everything, the elder brother sat on the bed and applied medicine to his younger brother from time to time.

Seeing that Liang's father was in so much pain, Lizhi was extremely anxious but didn't know how to help. There were no other relatives around. Xiao He ran up to ask a few questions and then ran to help call the nurse and find a doctor.

Liang's father quickly grabbed him and said it was okay, he might be hungry because he didn't have dinner. Xiao He thought about it, told his brother not to run around, turned around and ran out.

When he came back, Liang's father didn't expect that Xiao He had gone somewhere nearby. He actually found a restaurant that was still open so late and brought back two bowls of noodles.

Liang's father gave him money, and he accepted it without hesitation. Maybe he was too hungry or something, but Liang's father ate intermittently, stopping and resting. He ate the lychees next to him happily, and finished the whole bowl of noodles.

Liang's father finally finished half of his noodles, but sweat broke out on his forehead - his stomachache did not seem to be relieved at all.

He kept bending over, pressing the corner of the stool against his stomach, groaning in pain. Lizhi, who was standing beside him, had already lost her composure, crying and calling for her father, but she didn't know what to do. When Liang's father looked up, he saw that the emergency doctor had come over on his own initiative, followed by Xiao He. It was no wonder that Xiao He ran out to call him.

After asking about the situation, the emergency doctor thought that he had acute gastritis caused by not eating dinner, but seeing that he was in so much pain, he decided to give him an injection of 654-2.

(Note: 654-2, one of the more common drugs for treating stomach pain in the 6542s and 1965s, is an anticholinergic drug, also known as scopolamine, commonly known as 4, because it is an alkaloid extracted from scopolamine in April .)
After taking the injection, Liang's father's stomachache gradually eased and he fell asleep leaning against the bed.

But when it was dawn, I felt like I had to pee, so I ran to the hospital bathroom to pee, but I panicked because I couldn't pee no matter what!
He couldn't figure out why this happened, so he went to see a doctor again.

The doctor was changed during the day, and the new doctor explained that male patients may indeed experience urinary retention after being injected with 654-2, which is one of the typical side effects of 6542.

Doctors suggest that if the bladder is really unbearable, the only option is to insert a catheter into the stomach through the urethra, but the process will be extremely painful and many men cannot stand this kind of insertion.

Another compromise is to apply hot compress on the lower abdomen, which can also relieve the pain and slowly start urinating.

In the end, Liang's father had no choice but to choose hot compress.

Lizhi went to get some hot water, and she happened to have a towel with her, but the bigger problem was that during this process Liang's father needed to loosen his trouser string, lie flat, and constantly soak the cooled towel in hot water to warm it up, and then apply it to the bladder area.

He couldn't do it himself, and it would be extremely inconvenient for Lizhi to do it, so Liang's father was unwilling to do it.

Finally, the young man named He next to him saw that he was in trouble, so he came over to help him lie down and applied hot compresses to him.

After applying the mask for a while, he went to the toilet and was finally able to urinate intermittently. When he returned to the room, Xiao He continued to apply the mask for him.

It was not until the afternoon that urination returned to normal.

Xiao He's younger brother could have left the hospital at noon, but because Xiao He was busy giving hot compress to Liang's father, he delayed leaving until the afternoon.

Just before Liang Ziqiang came in, Xiao He had already packed up and took his brother away.

"If it weren't for that young man's help, I don't know how long I would have to hold it in, and I don't know if my bladder could take it!" Liang's father sighed.

"I never thought so many things would happen in one night," Liang Ziqiang thought about it and felt scared. "To be honest, it's all thanks to that young man surnamed He. Dad, did you ask him which town he is from? He was so kind-hearted and helped us so much. I think I should bring some gifts over one day to thank him!"

"The young man is quite shy. I just kept thanking him, but he was embarrassed. Which town is he from? I really forgot to ask this..." Father Liang thought for a while, "If you really want to thank him, why not ask the nurse? It should be registered when you see the doctor."

Liang Ziqiang actually went to ask, but unfortunately, they only registered Tieniu Town, and didn't say which village it was from. Forget it, it's probably impossible to go to the door to thank him.

He thought about it and decided that since he was here, it would be better to get a more detailed result on his father and Litchi's illness.

There was still some time before the regular outpatient clinic closed, so he quickly took his father and Lizhi to the gastroenterology department and orthopedics department respectively.

Yesterday they both went to the emergency room. Relatively speaking, Liang Ziqiang felt that the corresponding outpatient department was more professional.

As for Lizhi, since her elbow joint was fixed, it was fine. But what he was most worried about was whether she had any other injuries on her body that she had fallen but hadn't noticed...
