Plague Doctor

The waveforms in the screens of the EEG and ECG monitors are walking smoothly, with no change from previous days.

This is an ICU single-patient ward in the hospital building of the Medical Department at NASA headquarters. Despite all the equipment, it is still quite spacious. The patient lying in the middle bed is Gu Jun. His repeatedly operated head has short dark hair and sleeping face is only quiet and thin.

There are three nurses in the nursing team who rotate to accompany the ward, with Nurse Willow sitting in a bedside chair looking at the magazine.

Nurse Liu, in her thirties, has been an old member of NASA for many years, has also been in a mobile contingent, and has a strong sense of responsibility and nursing ability.

Nurse Liu has a lot of work to do with unconscious patients, but it's not a time when she's free, so she can read a magazine when she's free. Like general hospitals, cell phones cannot be brought into ICU wards because their signals can interfere with the device and radiation can affect the patient's brain recovery.

The ICU is also not allowed to be accompanied by family members or others and is attended by medical personnel, although visiting hours are 16: 00-16: 30 p.m. daily.

People who would have come to visit with Gu Jun's personality would have continued to communicate, but because of this, not many people have visiting rights due to medical considerations and the special nature of his identity.

In addition, visiting rights are divided into two levels, one standing only in the front hall outside the ward and looking through the window before entering the ward.

A second visitor can count both hands, either an old boss like Tong, Yao Shinian, or a well-known friend of his.

Grandpa Tong has too many things to do and travels all day, so although he cares about the situation every day, he doesn't come very often.

Even so, there are no shortage of visitors because Wu Shiyu comes every day to see him and try to make a spiritual connection to wake him up.

This unconventional treatment has been done a lot in the past few months. In addition to Wu Shiyu, the team has arranged other teachers and friends of Gu Jun to try together individually. Uncle Egg, Cai Zixuan, Deng Xie Mai... Wang Ruoxiang has also tried, but has not seen the effect.

Cai Zixuan also comes to visit frequently. She usually brings some of her own old hot soup, and gives it to Nurse Liu, so Gu Jun can only smell the soup. For some time now, the team has installed a nasal feeding tube for Gu Jun to feed him, as well as an IV nutrient solution. Nutrition department personnel are responsible for this.

“Dr. Gu, look at this. You're in the paper again. ”

Nurse Liu watched the magazine, a new weekly magazine for the public, "The Secret of the Astronomy," which also reported on Gu Jun, calling him “The Astronomy Hero.”

This is not a mistake. Although Gu Jun is only 22 years old, she does not have much authority to understand that the credit and suffering he has suffered since joining the Sky Machinery Bureau bears this title.

During his first month in a coma, different leaders often came to visit his condolences, and Nurse Liu also saw people he would not normally see.

It is indeed an honor to be part of this treatment team.

Nurse Liu turned to the young man on the hospital bed and couldn't help but sigh. Unfortunately, she was jealous of the genius.

At this time, visiting time is approaching and people should come. Today is the last day of 2021, there is no reason not to come. It didn't take long.

Wu Shiyu arrived with some other visitors, such as Uncle Egg, Xianning, Cai Zixuan, Deng Ximai, Peacock, etc., because not all of them had secondary visitation rights, so they stood outside the front hall for the time being.

“Xian Jun, everyone came to see you.” Wu Shiyu pushed the door in, "Nurse Liu, what's his situation today? ”

“No change.” Nurse Liu said this again, and every time Wu Shiyu said it, she was slightly disappointed.

Meanwhile, Uncle Egg over in the lobby introduced a new visitor to the nurses. Xie Yiman, a well-known artist, who had previously been treated by Gu Jun at the time, is now cured. She has applied to join the astronomical institute and passed the training and assessment. She has just officially become a member of the PR Department.

The bureau granted her a second visit to see if there was any special connection between her and Gu Jun that could be triggered.

“Hello, everyone.” Xie Yiman greeted everyone and walked into the ward, smiling again at Nurse Liu: “Hello Nurse Liu. ”

It was polite of her to try to smile, and it was the image she imagined in her head, but her face was, of course, completely faceless.

Nurse Liu and others knew what happened to Xie Yiman. Her whole facial skin recovery was very good. The facial contours and five officials were still very beautiful. The color difference of the skin and the scars around the skin could be covered with makeup. However, her facial muscles could not move, it was cold and stiff.

“Dr. Gu.” Xie Yiman walked to the side of the hospital bed and saw Gu Jun as if he were dead.

Despite her mental readiness, her eyes suddenly burst into tears as she confronted the tall, handsome doctor Gu in her heart.

“I'm Xie Yiman, and I came to see you... I'm sad to see you like this, but I admire you very much, and I've heard that you hurt yourself for a mission. I want to talk to you about my situation so you don't worry. My nerve damage and skin transplantation recovery are good. Although I can't feel it on my face and can't move, my eyes, breathing and eating are fine..."

Uncle Egg outside the ward nodded, yes indeed.

After all, Xie Yiman was young, only 18 years old, and the surgery was of high quality, so he recovered well.

Not all patients with Squamous disease have this level of recovery, and some have difficulty blinking and swallowing.

Patients who have not undergone destructive surgery and have eliminated itching as a result of ritual termination are much luckier and do not need to undergo destructive surgery. However, if the epilepsy occurs, even without itching, the lesion skin on the face will not recover naturally, so all patients end up undergoing scalping and skin transplantation.

“I joined NASA, PR.” Xie Yiman wiped away the tears in his eyes, "countries around the globe were prepared to give a public account of the incident, and I would be on my first assignment… Dr. Gu, this incident changed me, not just my face, I changed a lot, I had a new goal. I'm going to test the spell department if I'm qualified! I'm still a bit talented, my intelligence is good...”

While Xie Yiman complained, Wu Shiyu held Gu Jun's hand for sensation, but it still looked like a pool of dead water, and he didn't even feel that kind of scalpel.

She asked Xie Yiman to try it again herself, but Xie Yiman did not succeed.

Although expectations were not great at first, people were always somewhat lost about the outcome. This can't be done, that can't be done. How exactly can you wake up Gu Jun, even if there is a slight reaction? Or that he really has...

The time limit for visitors to visit was only 15 minutes at a time, which soon arrived, and people could only return disappointed, but Wu Shiyu wanted to stay a little longer.

Because of her unique identity, she has a full half-hour visit.
