Nowadays,
a hospital always manages to keep its beds full. This is good on the one hand,
and it’s bad on 36 hand.
One day, I
went to see a sick friend at the hospital. I first went to the 37
desk, where I could get a permit to visit the patient.
38 I could ask which room my friend was in, the
lady set down my name, age, filled out a form and 39 a
bell. I was just about to tell her what I was coming for when two men arrived
with a wheelchair, 40 me in it and pushed me
down the hall.
“I’m not 41
,” I shouted. “I’m just looking for a friend.”
“When he
comes,” one man said, “we’ll 42 him up to your
room.”
In a
minute I 43 myself in a small room. In no time
they undressed me and covered some other things 44 me.
One man said “If you need anything, press the button.”
“I want to
get my 45 back.” I begged.
“Oh, you
can 46 us,” a voice said, “Even if the 47
happens, we will see that your wife will get everything.” They left
and locked the door 48 them.
I was
trying to think of how to escape by the door when Dr. Ward came in with several
of his 49 .
“Thank God
you finally came,” I said.
“It hurts
that badly?” he asked.
“No, on
the contrary, I am not ill 50 .”
Dr. Ward
looked 51 . “If you don’t feel any pain, that means
it’s much more 52 than we expected.” Then he
turned to his students, “This is the most difficult kind of patient to deal
with because he refuses to 53 that he is ill. __54__
he won’t tell us where it hurts, he will never be well again until we find the
hurt out for 55 by doing exploratory surgery (手術(shù)探查) .”
