719 Asking for Trouble (1/2)
”Ouch.” Hong Nan frowned. He started to feel pain in his stomach again. It was as if numerous small insects were moving and biting inside his stomach. ”Move!”
”Sure, I see. You take care,” the young man with him said.
Hong Nan was sweating severely on his head. His body was shaking badly. ”Call the doctor!”
”Sure!” The young man who was accompanying him in the hospital quickly ran out to look for a doctor.
A doctor came a moment later.
”I started to have pain in my stomach again,” Hong Nan said as he clenched his teeth. He was in severe pain. It was worse than being stabbed an twisted by a knife. ”Give me some painkiller!”
”OK, just a moment.” The doctor went out to get the painkiller and came back a moment later. He was followed by a nurse, who gave Hong Nan the injection.
”Oh dear!” Hong Nan took a big breath of relief.
He thought he would be pain free for a while.
”Hmm!?” The pain suddenly came back. What the hell is going on?
In the past few days, he was constantly in pain almost every day, mainly in his stomach and head. Normally, the pain would disappear after he had taken painkiller, so he could settle for a while. However, the situation was different now. The pain came back almost immediately after he had taken painkiller.
Did they give me the wrong medication?
”Call the doctor!” He was in such horrendous pain that he was like a prawn being throw into the boiling oil. He curled up. The pain in his stomach didn't get any better. On the contrary, it got worse, like tide water. The pain was intolerable.
The doctor who came to check on him was very surprised. ”What's going on?”
Hong Nan was not supposed to be in severe pain after being injected of painkiller.
”Give him another dose of painkiller,” the doctor said.
The nurse followed the instruction from the doctor, but it still didn't work.
”Change the medication,” the doctor said.
There were different types of painkillers. A moment later, the nurse injected a different type of painkiller into Hong Nan's body. However, the pain was still there. He was still screaming in pain on the bed.
”Can you do something? Do something!” Hong Nan shouted.
Apparently, shouting wouldn't reduce the pain.
”Give him some morphine,” the doctor said.
Despite advanced medical technology, morphine was still the most effective painkiller in the world. Morphine could basically treat any kind of pain. However, it had bad side effects. People could easily become addicted to morphine.
It worked. The pain had gone. Hong Nan was breathing hard. He needed more air.
”I need... I need oxygen,” he said.
”Give him oxygen,” the doctor said.
Meanwhile, in the same building of the same hospital, a patient was screaming in a room.
”Ouch!”
A nurse ran out of the room with a panicked expression on her face. She had blood all over her upper body. A knife was in her right shoulder. She was still bleeding.
”Ting!” Her colleagues immediately came up to help her.
”Take her to the trauma department, be quick,” a nurse said.
”What is going on?” another nurse asked.
”Boss, calm down! Please calm down,” a man in the room said.
Several men were trying to pin a bald guy on the bed in the room.
”No! No! No!” The bald guy were screaming like a maniac.
Suddenly, he took a bite of one of the men's arm. He bit so hard and didn't let go.
”Ouch! Stop! It's so painful! Let me go!” The man tried to take his arm out of the bald guy's mouth, but the bald guy wouldn't let him go.
”Break open his mouth!” the man shouted. ”Sedate him!”
The medical staff came to give the bald guy an injection, which didn't immediately stop him.
”Give him another dose,” the doctor said.
The nurse gave him another injection, which finally calmed him down.
”Oh my god,” one of the bald guy's men said.
”Dear!” The young man who had been bitten rolled up his sleeve to check the wound. He had two sets of tooth print clearly on his arm, and it was bleeding.
”Get your wound treated now! Otherwise, it might get infected,” the doctor said.
”Is his condition contagious?” the young man asked.
”I'm not sure,” the doctor said.
The young man was so anxious that he went to get his wound treated immediately. He didn't want to be infected and become as crazy as the bald guy.
”Get the paperwork ready and transfer him to the psychiatric ward,” the doctor said.
”OK,” the nurse said.
”Nan, boss has just been transferred to the psychiatric ward,” one of Hong Nan's men reported.
”Why?” Hong Nan asked.
”He just stabbed a nurse,” the man said.
”Is the nurse dead?” Hong Nan asked.
”No, boss stabbed her in the shoulder,” his man asked.
