Capítulo 724: Chapter 296: Sweet Dreams, All-Round Surgeon_2
After seeing off Director Tang, Zhou Can continued reading.
In the evening, the pregnant patient needed two IV drips, so he stayed by her side.
Patients on invasive mechanical ventilation like this often have much lower immunity than the average person, and anti-infection and thrombosis prevention are two key medication directions.
If there are other conditions, corresponding medication treatments must also be considered.
The dosage, method of administration, and timing all have very strict requirements.
Around midnight, sure enough, a man in his fifties came with a supper delivery.
The money had already been paid by Director Tang.
The supper consisted of snails, a serving of spicy crayfish, two hotdogs, several skewers of flavored tofu skin, and a corn on the cob with milk flavor.
Besides the corn, the other four items were common late-night snacks.
Director Tang had specifically ordered a corn cob, probably worried that he wouldn’t be full. He really took the trouble.
After receiving the late-night snack, Zhou Can couldn’t possibly bring it into the resuscitation room.
He directly carried it to the small on-call room prepared especially for him.
At this moment, Nurse Ji You should be sleeping inside.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
Zhou Can definitely couldn’t just barge in.
A gentleman does not take advantage of the vulnerable; barging in without notice while a female nurse is asleep inside would be inappropriate.
“Who is it?”
A sluggish and somewhat groggy voice came from inside.
“Ji You, it’s me! Zhou Can!”
“It’s Dr. Zhou, okay, I will open the door now!”
Ji You turned on the room light inside, walked to the door, and opened it from the inside.
She was only wearing a round-neck T-shirt while sleeping and now had draped a nurse’s uniform over her body, looking particularly enchanting and alluring.
Zhou Can didn’t even dare to look too much.
This behavior, in the eyes of Ji You, made her cover her mouth and giggle secretly.
“Oh dear, it’s already midnight! Let me take over for the rest of the night. You get some good rest, Dr. Zhou.”
She glanced at her pink, delicate, and petite wristwatch.
“Don’t hurry, someone sent me a late-night snack. See if there’s anything you like?” Zhou Can placed the supper on the small table and opened it item by item.
“Wow, snails! Oh my, and spicy crayfish too… Dr. Zhou, can I really have some?”
It’s rare to find a woman who isn’t a foodie.
Seeing all the delicious food made her drool with envy.
“Hehe, good if you like it. I was worried about wasting it if I couldn’t finish. Just leave me the corn cob, and the rest is yours.”
Zhou Can cared more about health and wellness.
He rarely ate late-night snacks that were mostly spicy or of other strong flavors.
Seeing Ji You so happy with the supper amused Zhou Can.
He preferred interacting with women who were genuine and unaffected.
Since she liked it, giving it to her as a reward was making the best use of it.
“Really? It’s all for me?” She was ecstatic.
“Of course! Just remember to come to the resuscitation room to take over my shift after you’ve eaten.”
Zhou Can couldn’t afford to be away from the resuscitation room for too long.
After all, the warning from Dr. Pang’s experience had happened during the day.
Returning to the resuscitation room, he waited for about half an hour or so, and then Ji You came with light footsteps.
Her lips were red from the spice, adding a few touches of seductiveness.
“Sorry, the supper was so delicious that I’m only coming now. You go get some sleep, leave the rest of the night to me, I’ll keep a careful watch, rest assured.”
Ji You’s face bore a genuinely joyful smile.
It seemed the late-night meal had particularly pleased her.
“No medication is needed for the rest of the night, just need to monitor the urine output from the catheter, as well as the patient’s blood oxygen, blood pressure, and respiration which are still the three most important vital signs to watch for. If there’s anything unusual, don’t try to deal with it by yourself, be sure to call me immediately. Just ring my phone.”
Zhou Can gave a thorough reminder and then left the resuscitation room.
As soon as he stepped out, his gaze became fixed. Not far away, there was a middle-aged man lying on a bench.
It was the pregnant woman’s husband.
Many family members couldn’t bear to stay in a hotel; they would simply spend the night in hospital corridors, passageways, or hunched over beside the hospital bed.
Zhou Can didn’t disturb the brother, went to use the restroom first, and then returned to the on-call room.
Some of the supper had been eaten, with the corn, hotdogs, and tofu skin thoughtfully placed together and sealed in a large plastic bag to keep warm.
The snails were all eaten, and a small portion of the crayfish was left.
Ji You, that foodie, who appeared to have such a good figure, turned out to eat quite a lot.
“Eh!”
When Zhou Can picked up the bag, he unexpectedly found a note underneath.
Written on a doctor’s pocket note paper was a row of neatly small characters.
“Thanks for the supper! The bed is still warm, sweet dreams!”
The handwriting was quite sloppy, all crooked and twisty.
One wouldn’t expect such a beautiful girl, with not a low education level, to have such sloppy handwriting.
The contents of the note easily triggered one’s imagination; after reading it, Zhou Can couldn’t help but feel slightly stirred.
He finished the small portion of crayfish and the corn cob that was left. Just as he was ready to polish off the rest of the food, he remembered the brother who had been nibbling on a cornbread.
Carrying the remaining tofu skin and hotdogs, he went straight to the bench in front of the resuscitation room.
“Brother, I ordered too much for my supper, if you don’t mind, help yourself to some.” Zhou Can gently nudged the pregnant woman’s husband.
Only then did he notice that the man’s head was actually covered with a lot of white hair.
“No need, no need…” The man waved his hands in refusal repeatedly.
