“等一下,”他打了个响指,“你叫……噢,让我想想……”
我转过身来,他正看着天花板,脸上带着浅浅的笑容。不一会儿,他转过头来看着我。
“你叫杰姬,对吧?扎着长长的马尾辫,金黄的头发,对不对?”
我愣了一下,很吃惊。
“你说得很对。”说着,我低头看了一眼胸前,看看姓名标牌取下了没有(已经摘下了)。我又用手摸了摸后脑勺,发辫已经挽成髻紧紧盘在脑后了。于是,我仔细地看着他的脸,想从中寻找某些显著特征勾起我的记忆。他有着一双蓝色的眼睛,冷静而明亮,花白的卷发勾勒出他的面部轮廓。
“对不起,我没在四楼工作,我印象中也没你这个人。”
“杰姬,不要紧。能再次见到你,我真的很开心。三个星期前,你来过我的病房。那时,我的心脏停止了跳动,你把那些控制手柄放在我胸口。我记得,当时你大叫着要每个人都做好准备,那些听起来好像是专业术语。后来,你拿起这些控制手柄电击我的胸口,我又活了过来。”
我突然想了起来。那天,我要取一个编码(至于什么编码,我忘记了),就来到他的病房。当时,他的病情十分危急——毫无知觉,瞳孔放大,脸色青紫。
“谁告诉你那天是我救了你呢?” 我的好奇心油然而生,又走进他的房间。
他笑了笑,又抬头看着天花板。
“没人告诉我。我是从天花板上看见的。所以,我知道你梳着长长的金色马尾辫。就在你转头看监控器时,我看到了你漂亮的脸蛋。能再次见到你,我真的很高兴。”
他看着我,脸上的微笑不见了。我能看得出他正竭力控制自己的感情。
“我想向你道谢,真的很感谢你……”
现在,我每次经过254号病房时,内心总会涌起一股暖流。那天抄近路经过这里真是一个明智的选择,同时,我也庆幸自己对“嗨,护士”的叫声做出了回应。

Hey; Nurse。。。Thanks

“Hey; nurse!”
A man’s voice; loud and gruff; was ing from room 254。 I was taking a shortcut through the telemetry unit after another busy day in the critical care unit。 These weren’t my patients; so I kept going。
“Yo; blondie。”
I stopped and looked around。 No other nurses were in sight; so I went to the doorway of room 254 and glanced in。 A large man with a big; friendly face was sitting up in the bed。 He spoke before I had a chance to open my mouth。 “Do you remember me? You were my nurse on the fourth floor。”
“I’m sorry; sir; but I work in the critical1 care unit。 You must have me confused with someone else。”书 包 网 txt小说上传分享
嗨, 护士……谢谢你(2)
I smiled; wished him a good afternoon and turned to go on my way。 His booming voice stopped me again。
“No; wait a minute。” He started snapping his fingers。 “Your name is。。。 oh; let me think。。。”
I turned around to see him looking up at the ceiling; a half smile on his face。 Then he looked back at me。
“Jackie; right? You’ve got a long blonde ponytail; don’t you?”
I was dumb founded。
“Yes。” I said; peeking at my chest to make sure I’d taken off my name tag。 (I had。) I reached back and touched the tightly braided2 bun on the back of my head。 Then I studied his face; looking for something that might trigger my memory。 His eyes were cool; blue and shiny。 Curly salt…and…pepper hair framed his face。
“I’m sorry。 I don’t work on the fourth floor; and I just don’t remember you。”
“That’s all right; Jackie。 I’m just glad I got to see you again。 You came into my room about three weeks ago。 My heart stopped dead on me and you put those paddles3 on my chest。 I remember you shouting out all these technical sounding words; telling everybody to clear the way。 Then you took those paddles and you shocked me back to life。”
