Chapter 7 The Big-Eyed Boy (I)(3)
During my internship, I spent more than half a year in various clinical departments of the hospital. My first department was brain surgery. At that time, I was responsible for monitoring little Harry’s condition. He was only four years old at that time. He had big eyes and was very attractive. All the doctors, nurses and the patients in the same ward liked him very much because he always amused everyone and made everyone laugh up and down.
But God didn’t treat this lovely boy kindly. A week after little Harry was admitted to hospital, the diagnosis came out, brain cancer.
Looking at his father and mother washing their faces with tears every day, little Harry gradually understood his situation. He asked his mother, “Am I going to die? Never mind. I’ll be with you again in the next life, okay?” The words of a four-year-old boy touched everyone present.
The first time I performed the operation was to participate in little Harry’s brain surgery. Not only should little Harry’s brain lesions be removed, but also his ventricle should be decompressed by intubation, that is, a tube inserted into his ventricle, directly through the subcutaneous, connected to the abdominal cavity, and then through a valve, extracted the hydrocephalus in the ventricle into the abdominal cavity. The operation was cruel, but unexpectedly, little Harry recovered very well after the operation. He was able to jump, which meant that he had a little difficulty in speaking. I thought he was saved, but I didn’t realize that death was entangling him again.
