医院的一天 - 捐血-探访

已经很久很久很久没有去医院探访了!
上几个星期义工叔叔都有事情要办,让我闷了好几个星期日。今天(20061008)就好像刚放监牢一样,一次做完应该做的事。

早上十点多坐宿舍的巴士去大学,还未到门口义工叔叔就打电话来说他已经到了大学图书馆。我下了巴士,就快手快脚地跑去图书馆会叔叔。上了车,叔叔载我去卖血…不…捐血。
到了门口时,我才想起我忘记带红簿子(捐血卡,不是银行存折)。不过算了,随便吧!到了那里,填写着表格时,就看到馨姐走过来说:『我已经捐了,厉害咧?』我心想:「很巴闭(了不起)咩?我也是要捐罗。」

护士问我是什么血型,我跟她说我仿佛依稀好像是A型。她就顺便顺手说:『好,不是很清楚是不是,那就验一验吧!』她就在我的右手中指上涂上酒精。

我开玩笑地问她说:「一定要中指的吗?别的手指可不可以?」
她很配合地说:『可以,你要那一根?』

过后回想,如果她不能开玩笑,把我每一根手指都打一个洞,那可不是开玩笑的。验了血,血型确定真的没错是A型。之后就进房躺下插针抽血罗,负责的那个男护士还特地选我左手(右手要写字,所以抽左手的)最粗的血管来插,一插进去,那血就好像赛马似的飞奔出去。结果五分钟就抽了一包,差不多是600ml吧。

捐了血过后,就跟叔叔一起去吃个饭,之后才出发去医院。通常馨姐和菱姐都会一起去的,可是那捐了血的馨姐说她很累了,而菱姐有讨论会,所以只有我和叔叔两个人去。少了女生,今天的探访很快就结束。

上几个星期就知道好学女孩已经出院回家乡去了。不过叔叔告诉我说她的脊椎还是弯的,救不回。今天探了几个病人,有一个女孩和好学女孩患上同样的脊椎问题,过两天就要动手术了。她坦然地对我们说她会害怕过两天的手术,当叔叔一直提起时她会叫叔叔别说下去,她受不了。

在探访她前,叔叔就跟我说这女孩很爱画画。所以探访她时我就提起画画的事,她从枕头下抽出两本画簿,里面都是她仿画的卡通图片。是画得不错啦,但是可能是我以为她会自己画画,而不是仿画,所以心中给的分数就少了。

她的年龄和好学女孩差不多,可是性格就差了点儿。这女孩比较活泼,爱开玩笑。她竟然在和我握手说再见时握着手不放,还跟义工叔叔说:『Uncle,you balik dulu la, dia boleh tinggal sini. (叔叔,你先回吧,他就留下来好了!)』这个玩笑如果当真真的会吓倒我。


后记:病,可以带来快乐吗?

sickness itself leads to suffering...you try to get cancer and see, vomit, this and that complications...you still can laugh when you vomit?
but maybe when you're sick, you may find out the truth of life, maybe more ppl care about you, you may find more temporary happiness, or maybe more sufferings...
wether you're sick or dead, or going to die, what really causes you to suffer isnt really the sickness, but you yourself..
for instance, why some ppl(especially when someone is angry) get frustrated because of tinnie winnie things...?
and why someone in a calm mode wont?such as loud noise....
because the one who is frustrated will "grab" anything he can, causing himslef t suffer..
but the one who is calm, see the irritations as nothing, they dont "grab" it..
so when you feel frustrated by noise or whatever,the irritation is not disturbing you, you are disturbing it..

今年16岁,应该还有……2年……是吗?

Howard 说...

回应萧姑娘:
对,是18岁。
而且还有看情况,女生比较麻烦。
朋友说月经前和月经后的一个星期不能捐血。

回应过路人:
你说得蛮有道理,生病时你可能感受到一些你平时感受不到的关心,你会觉得幸福(有些病患是特地装病来换取家人、爱侣或朋友的关心)

所以有话说:小病是福

but sometimes the sufferings you get(eg.complications, symptoms...)
are greater than the love you get...
so again...it all depends on your mind

Howard 说...

So you means if our mind feel happy, we will be happy.
But if we feel not happy, we will still suffering from the sick?

匿名 说...

err...kind of..
have you experienced something like this...you do something you really like and kind of froget about your sickness?
well, i did...
see, the sickness is still there, but i dont get attached to it, or to say concentrate on the thought "i am sick and it's really driving me crazy"..

Howard 说...

Well, the sick have been uncouscious by your brain... because your attention had been use in some other matter.

匿名 说...

yup...that's right...that's my point....
see...when you "grab" the idea of "i'm sick and i will surely suffer"...you will suffer...
but when you are doing something you like, you are not grasping that idea...so you kinda foget the suffering, although it is still there...
