54. Nursing

"No way! The male and female wards are separated."

"If there is a double room, the bed fee in that ward is higher than that in a triple room."

"Meng Qingqing, you have to go to school. Besides, you can't do things like turning over. Both grandma and dad need a strong person to take care of them. You'd better ask a caregiver to take care of them."

Meng Qingqing listened to everyone's opinions, went to Dr. Ling, and requested that grandma and father be in the same ward a week later.

Dr. Ling said: "This idea is indeed good, but the beds in the ward are tight, not so right. But you can tell me in advance, I can help you adjust as much as possible."

"Thank you! Doctor Ling." Apart from these dry words, Meng Qingqing didn't know how to express her gratitude in other ways.

As always, Dr. Ling said with concern: "You're welcome, don't worry, your grandma and dad are in very good condition now."

Meng Qingqing bid farewell to Dr. Ling and contacted a nurse under the guidance of his wife. The nurse was in his thirties and did not have the strong physique he imagined. He was short and thin.

Meng Qingqing was very disappointed when she saw it and thought she had made a mistake. When her wife introduced him, she said that the nurse named Li was very responsible, patient, and strong, and could not see it with responsibility and patience, but she had great strength. Can a thin person have a lot of strength? Meng Qingqing was very skeptical.

The other party may have seen Meng Qingqing’s thoughts and explained: "You think I am thin, so you think I have no strength? To be honest, I have taken care of more than 100 kilograms of patients, 70 to 80 kilograms of patients. It's even more commonplace. How many kilograms does the patient in your family have?"

Meng Qingqing thought, before my father fell ill, he weighed more than 70 kilograms, but now he is probably only more than 50 kilograms, and grandma only has more than 40 kilograms.

"Have you really taken care of a 70-80 kg person?" Meng Qingqing asked back.

"I heard that your patient will need care next week. I am currently taking care of a patient weighing more than 80 kilograms. Would you like me to take you to see it? Not far, just ahead." The ward.

Meng Qingqing nodded, "Okay, go and see."

Entering the ward referred to by the nursing staff, Li Hugong said: "I am currently nursing 12 beds."

Meng Qingqing saw that the Twelve Bed was a man in his forties, tall and strong, and indeed weighing over 80 kilograms.

Meng Qingqing explained: "Uncle, my father and grandma also need nursing care. Others said that Master Li is serious and responsible, but I think he is weak, and I am afraid that he can't bear it. He said you were the one who took care of him, so I came to ask you. "

The five or six patients in the ward and their families laughed.

A woman said quickly: "Every family member who asks him to take care of him suspects that he can't afford to take care of him like you, but he is really strong. He is born like this and he has a lot of appetite. It's a body that can't be fattened by eating."

Another person also said: "Yes, yes, don’t look at his skinny, he can pick up a patient weighing more than 80 kilograms without breathing. Do you see if he has more than 80 kilograms? When he can’t move, it’s often Li The master hugs around!" He pointed to the twelve beds.

"And he is responsible for nursing. It's right to find him." Another added.

"Yes, look for him to take care of, and family members don't worry."

The people in this ward all praised the nursing worker Li, so-called people are not good-looking! Besides, he was introduced by Lao Yu's wife, and Lao Yu's family should be reliable.

"How do you charge for this?" Although Lao Yu had already told her the price, Meng Qingqing still asked him personally.

Li Hugong said: "This is a price that everyone knows, and I will not bully you a child. You can charge it by the hour or by the day, depending on what kind of care you need."

"I need care for 24 hours a day. And it is possible to care for two patients at the same time."

"Caring for two patients at the same time?" Everyone said in unison.

"Yes, my grandma donated a kidney to my father, so there are two patients in my family. If they can be in the same ward, they will hire a caregiver. If they can't be in the same ward, they can only hire two caregivers."

"It turned out to be like this! It is absolutely no problem to care for two patients at the same time. If you need care 24 hours a day, each person costs 200 yuan a day, and two people are 400 yuan." Li Hugong said.

The person next to him was curious, "Where are the other adults in your family?"

Meng Qingqing didn't want to say more, "My family is the only three people who depend on each other, my grandmother and dad."

Everyone sees that Meng Qingqing didn't want to say much, and said clearly: "So if your father and grandma are ill, you are the only one to take care of?"

Meng Qingqing nodded, "Yes! Besides, I can't hold my grandma and dad, so I can only hire a nursing worker."

Meng Qingqing bargained and said: "If two people are in the same ward, it will be convenient for you to take care of them at the same time. Can you take less? Can two people be 355 a day?"

"Three hundred and eight!" Li Hugong bargained.

People next to them said: "It's not easy for a little girl. Both adults have surgery, and only one child is taken care of. You pay less."

"Good good, three hundred and six, can't be less." Li Hugong said.

"Okay, three hundred and six a day, one week. If my grandma and dad are not in the same ward, you will only take care of my dad for two hundred yuan a day. That's it." Meng Qingqing said.

"I think you have to go to school as a child?" Li Hugong said.

"Yes, I still have to go to school, but I will come to take care of it as soon as school is over. Meals are also prepared and delivered from home." The 24-hour nursing care is for patients' homes.

After Meng Qingqing had talked with nurse Li, she left her phone number.

After resolving the worries, Meng Qingqing ran to the entrance of the intensive care unit to have a look. When it was time for lunch, she went outside the hospital to buy something to eat. He hurried back to the hospital and sat in front of the intensive care unit.

Finally at one o'clock, Meng Qingqing asked the nurse on duty in the intensive care unit if he could go in and see his father and grandma.

The nurse on duty watched Meng Qingqing staying at the door, and looked inside from time to time. She was deeply impressed by her. At this time, she asked. She flipped through Meng Qingqing’s father and grandmother for 24 hours. So she agreed to go in and have a look.

The nurse wrote a visit time record sheet for Meng Qingqing to sign, then sprayed her with disinfectant, put two sterile bags on her feet, and irradiated them with a purple light at the door. She can go in.
