Today in PE class, BoJone and his classmates were playing basketball with great enthusiasm. Unexpectedly, near the end of the class, a classmate struck me (it was just accidental friction, of course, with no malice). I felt a sharp pain—the flesh at the corner of my eye had split! It bled continuously for the first minute. Strangely, by the time I reached the school clinic, the bleeding had stopped (even without any treatment, I had just been pressing on it). I originally thought it was just a minor injury that required simple treatment, but the school doctor said I needed to go to an external hospital for stitches; otherwise, it might leave a scar and disfigure me!!
Since it was that serious, I had no choice but to comply. After a simple treatment of the wound, I went to the hospital with my mother and received two stitches. Since I have to go to the hospital for the next two days to disinfect and clean the wound, I simply took leave to go home and will return to school on Monday (it seems I mostly do self-study at school anyway, so there isn’t much difference ^_^)... However, from the moment of the injury until now, I haven’t had the chance to see what my wound actually looks like...
But why bring up Conservation Laws? Well, let me talk about some “Conservation Laws” I thought of after being injured:
Conservation of Seeing Doctors: I am actually very healthy. Setting aside accompanying my mother to see a doctor or the blood tests at the start of the semester, I haven’t entered a hospital in 6 years. I didn’t expect that after 6 years without an injection, I would need stitches as soon as I entered a hospital... quite frustrating... But the matter is actually small, just a wound at the corner of the eye. From a scientific perspective, this is a “non-problem problem.” Personal feeling: “Seeing the doctor” is conserved; when you haven’t seen a doctor for a long time, you might end up seeing one for something relatively serious.
Conservation of Gain and Loss: Two weeks ago, the teacher assigned an essay titled Gain and Loss, discussing how God is fair—when people lose something, they also gain something else. Yesterday, I was thinking that this week I fortunately solved a problem that had troubled me for over a month—the Schmidt Telescope Corrector Plate Equation. I have gained; so what should I lose? Hehe, I lost it today (some study time, temporary normal appearance... what a coincidence). Thus, I call it “Conservation of Gain and Loss.”
Conservation of Strength: Speaking of which, the location of my injury is near the eyelashes. When I was hit, I clearly felt the force from the bone. The “thud” was enough to prove the hardness of the bone at the corner of the eye. However, the flesh split, leading to stitches, which shows that the flesh there is very fragile. Thus, I thought of another “conservation”: the level of toughness of body parts is about the same, but when the bone is strong, the muscle there becomes fragile.

Regardless, being injured is never good. I hope all readers stay safe!
