Is the hospital an information exchange center for the elderly?

Author Little Sun's Star and Heart

I heard that the Roman Baths were a place for the Romans to rest and socialize, so they would wash up every now and then and exchange information.

Once upon a time, the small rural clinic where I work has also become an activity center for the elderly. They chat in the waiting room, from their own children and grandchildren to the eight generations of other people's ancestors. There will be a sound of "Alas! The old man next door, so you are still alive, hurry up! Come and chat here!" Enthusiastically invite friends and companions.

I watched these old people in the registration room as if they were having a symphony party, and I had no idea where their pain was.

Every day, there will be an old couple who always ride their bicycles one after the other. They let go of their feet as if they are sliding, and slide into the hospital parking lot vigorously. They are skilled in parking their bicycles. More than 100 times, I come to the hospital to report to the hospital every day like a regular meal.

What they do is traction therapy, which is a physical therapy that uses stretching to improve and relieve muscle soreness. Every day I see the couple riding their bikes so fast, I don't think they need to be towed at all.

The dean is a slow man, and if he encounters an old man in Aihara, he can spend an hour per patient.

Even so, the old people in the waiting room are still waiting happily. They can finish chatting with the person next door, have a cup of tea, take a nap, and wake up to another person next door. Perhaps the person who did not speak at home, the hospital became a place for them to contact and communicate with the outside world.

They chatted so vigorously that I couldn't help but pay attention when I checked out, "Are you friends?" The old man waved his hand, "No, I don't know him!" Two people who don't know each other can talk for so long. , which is pretty peculiar to me.

After they finished the consultation, the medical records were passed to the bureau, and it was either high blood pressure or heart disease, or constipation or gout. There are also those who suffer from cancer, and everyone’s body has scriptures that are inherently difficult to recite.

Of course, there are also people with frowning faces, but most of the elderly people hide their physical illnesses and choose to chat happily with their neighbors in the waiting room. Before they know it, the hospital becomes a place for their social networking.

Mingming was still sitting there chatting yesterday, laughing loudly at himself when checking out, because he was too sick to have so many prescriptions, and the person who laughed, the next day the police station called and said that he died at home, for the sake of To investigate the cause of death, the hospital needs to assist in the investigation. Did the deceased have any hidden diseases before he died?

In fact, I have been working at the hospital counter for a long time, and occasionally I have a sense of "inspiration". Sometimes, when I check out, I feel that the face of that person is very unusual. It is not pale or yellow, or it is an indescribable complexion. It was very strange, especially under the eyes and Yintang seemed to be covered with a thin layer of blue marks. After two days, he received a call from the police station and passed away. There are medicine bags from this clinic at home, and the hospital needs to assist in investigating the cause of death. When I checked the medical records, I came to my clinic to get cold medicine. I have seen several people with such a strange complexion. They have various diseases of all ages, and they have nothing to do with their age or serious illness.

One day, the Bicycle Speedy duo suddenly didn't show up, and at the end of the year, I was about to give them the Attendance Award. Only later did I find out that the husband of the team leader had fallen and passed away at home. I very much hope that the bicycle grandma will cheer up, and then ride her bicycle to shuttle between major hospitals, instead of being locked at home alone.

But then the bicycle grandma didn't come, maybe because there are memories with the bicycle grandpa.

At first I was not used to these people chatting in the hospital all the time, but now I let them go.

man! Don't think too much, just be happy. Any big difficulty is a trivial matter compared to death. Time is also fate, and some people choose to laugh and chat to finish life is not necessarily a bad thing. A day of suffering, a day of joy, a day of laughter, and a day of crying, they don’t exaggerate the pain of their illness, and their optimistic and cheerful smiles are the only way to face life!
