疑难杂症

最近接到姐姐的电话，说正在上小学的外甥生病了，而且生的是不知名的病。

从一个月以前，小孩就开始发烧，不是高烧，顶多三十七度五，且不是一直烧，只是
每天上午十点钟左右开始，到晚上就不烧了。据说，他们班已经有八九个小朋友都有
了这个毛病，而且当地医院没法确诊。听了姐姐的话，我让他们赶紧到北京来，因为
北京有全国最好的医院，一定能治好的；而且想到外甥都已经难受了一个月了，我很
是心疼，必须马上治！

我和姐姐商量好，他们早晨从山东开车到北京来，我则早起去医院帮他们挂号。

第二天早晨五点钟，闹钟叫了，我迅速穿上衣服，洗漱完毕，冲到地铁站赶上第一班
地铁去了北京儿童医院。

虽然是冬天，天还没亮，医院挂号处外面已经挤满了人，队伍已经排出大厅，到了外
面十几米处。排队的都是爸爸妈妈们，他们先来排队，到了上班时间再送孩子过来。
有的父母没有经验，带了小孩出来，结果让本来就生病的孩子在寒风里瑟瑟发抖。

才站了半个小时，我已经非常后悔出来的时候穿错了鞋，原来我为了图跑得快，穿了
一双去健身房运动的鞋出来，在零下16度的天气里站了才一会儿，两只脚就已经冻得
没有感觉了。我开始狂跺脚，一边跺一边想，跺吧跺吧，使劲跺吧，权当在健身房锻
2 炼了，不光能暖和暖和，还能减肥呢！

早晨七点，医院终于有人上班，开始放号了。我跟着队伍慢慢前进，七点五十分，终
于轮到了我。挂号处的医生戴着一个大口罩，口罩上盖着一副大眼镜，不怎么耐烦地
问我说“什么病啊”，我说“我也不清楚，但是在外地不能确诊，所以到北京来了”，说完
，她便扔过来一个号，我一看——特级专家！

估计姐姐下午才到，我决定先回家吃点儿东西睡一会儿，结果刚到家，姐姐就打电话
来说他们已经进了北京，于是我又赶紧冲回了医院。

这时医院里已经到处都是孩子了，从一个月到十几岁不等。所有的孩子都长得很漂亮
，但表情都很痛苦，而且至少有百分之八十正在哭。医院的地上到处都是玩具，什么
小汽车呀，手枪呀，甚至有各种各样的布娃娃，儿童医院就是儿童医院，真儿童！

外甥看起来精神很好。我们找到医生，跟医生说清楚具体情况，医生说先查查吧。于
是我便带着外甥去验血，验尿，并拍了一个CT，忙活了好几个小时，结果检查的结果

是——没有任何问题，建议住院继续观察。外甥当时就吓哭了，我和姐姐两个人也一
时决定不了。商量了半天，决定先回家看看情况怎样发展，也做些住院的准备。就这
样，他们当天又急急火火开车回了老家。

几天后，姐姐打电话来，说外甥的病已经好了，康复的原因不得而知。

A Difficult Diagnosis

I recently got a call from my sister telling me that my elementary school-aged

nephew had fallen ill, and they didn't know what exactly he'd fallen ill from.

A month ago, he developed a fever. It wasn't a high fever – 37.5C at most – and he
didn't always have a fever. The fever came on every day at around ten AM, and by
the evening, the fever had subsided. Apparently, eight or nine kids in his class had
fallen ill with the same disease and the local hospital couldn't figure out what it was.
After listening to my sister, I told them to come to Beijing immediately. Beijing has
the best hospitals in the country – no doubt, they'd be able to cure my nephew.
Besides, knowing that my nephew had already been sick for a month made me feel
horrible – we had to get him well immediately!

My sister and I decided that the next morning they would drive down from
Shandong, and I would wake up early and go to the hospital to help them register.

At five AM the next morning, my alarm sounded and I quickly got dressed, washed
up, and rushed to the subway to hop on the first train headed toward the Beijing
Children's Hospital.

Though it was winter and the sun still hadn't risen, there was a press of people
waiting at the registration desk. The line already extended out of the lobby and a
dozen or so meters out the door. The line was full of mothers and fathers. They
stand in line first, only having their children brought down once the doctors start
seeing patients. Some inexperienced parents brought their children with them, and
6 as a result, their already sick children are forced to shiver in the cold.

I had only been standing for half an hour when I began to regret wearing the wrong
shoes. My original thought was that in order to run quickly I'd wear a pair of tennis
shoes, but after just a little while in the -16C air, both my feet had gone numb. I
started stamping my feet wildly. Stamp, I thought, stamp with all your might! Just
look at it as exercise – not only can you warm yourself up, you can lose weight, too!

At seven AM, the hospital staff finally came on duty and started processing
registrations. Along with the rest of the line, I slowly advanced forward, and by
seven-fifty, I had finally reached the front. The doctor at the registration desk wore a
large surgical mask, and atop the mask were a large pair of glasses. "What's the
problem?" she asked rather impatiently. "I don't know," I answered, "but the local
doctors couldn't diagnose it, so we came to Beijing." After I told her that, she tossed
me a number. I looked at the department – "Specialist."

I figured my sister wouldn't arrive until the afternoon, so I decided to go home, get

something to eat, and take nap. As it happened, as soon as I got home my phone
rang and it was my sister telling me they'd already arrived in Beijing. So I hurriedly
rushed back to the hospital.

By this time, the hospital was full of children ranging from month-old infants to
teenagers. The children were all so beautiful, but they all looked like they were in
pain, and at least eighty percent of them were crying. There were toys everywhere,
from little cars to toy guns to every possible shape and size of doll. There's seriously
no escaping the "child" in the name Children's Hospital.

My nephew looked quite healthy. We found a doctor and explained my nephew's

condition to him. The doctor decided first to run some tests. We took my nephew to
have his blood and urine tested, and to have a CT scan performed. After several
hours of running back and forth, the test results came back and showed – absolutely
nothing. The doctor recommended my nephew be admitted for observation. Hearing
this, my nephew was so scared that he started crying, and my sister and I couldn't
decide what to do immediately. After discussing it for a while, we decided first to go
home and see how he felt and prepare to have him admitted to the hospital. Just like
that, they loaded back in their car and headed home.

Several days later, my sister phoned me and said that my nephew's illness had
already subsided, and nobody knows why.
