Zach actually didn't know much about the modern medical system, but he tried his best. After leaving Pixar in the hands of a nurse who seemed very responsible, he began to endure his dislike of the hospital and looked for his brother. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
In the 'simulation fact' that deviated from the timeline, Derek did not appear, but this does not mean that Derek did not experience the end of the world. On the contrary, Zach felt that the characters not included in that incomplete world experienced worse.
Waking up one night, almost one-third of the city's population disappeared, died, or was shattered into pieces for no reason. Ordinary people don't know that these people who usually live around them... are not humans, or people who are closely related to non-human things, disappeared in a 'civil war' that suddenly broke out all night long.
Zach's desire to find Derek was naturally not because he wanted to talk to Derek about the fact of another world, but... some kind of special emotion that made Zach feel that he should have to tell Derek something if One day, Grande disappeared along with something that affected the entire city. Don't have any meaningless thoughts and it has nothing to do with you. Grande should have ceased to exist the moment the old Grande died. Just pretend that Benjamin and I didn't find Grande in Barton, and you didn't come to Barton to find Grande. Just go on with your life and forget all this. '
Let’s call this emotion human nature. The end belongs to the alien race and those who have been too involved with the alien race, not ordinary innocent humans, not Derek. Zach wanted to help Derek avoid the apocalypse.
Of course, Zach would not follow what he said completely, he would embellish it, embellish it, and say it in a way that Derek, a human brain, could accept...
"Hank?" Zach looked at Old Hank sitting at the end of the corridor, frowned, and accelerated his pace.
Old Hank saw Zach. His old, wrinkled face, which was as old as a rag, instantly looked like he had wiped the bottom of a pot. It was impossible to escape, so I just sat there and didn't move.
Zach stood in front of Old Hank and moved his hands and feet in a very disrespectful manner. He moved Old Hank's chin, pulled and pushed his arms, legs and feet randomly for a long time, and finally got close to Old Hank's face. Before, breathe. He said something like, "Why are you here? You are healthy, but you look a little tired."
Zach's first reaction was actually concerned about the health of old Hank.
Old Hank pushed Zach's face away, "Why are you so close!"
Zach curled his lips and gestured around, "There are too many environmental distractions." This was an explanation for why it took him a long time to come to the conclusion that Old Hank was healthy, "Why are you here?" asked again.
Old Hank snorted and turned his head, as if he didn't want to answer.
Then, Zach could only guess the answer by himself, "Are you looking for Derek?" Zach glanced at the door at the end of the corridor. On the top of the door was 'Surgery area, non-medical personnel are not allowed to enter'.
You wouldn’t think that Zach was looking for someone randomly in an environment he didn’t like. He could just point his smiling face at a little nurse and ask, “Where is Dr. Grande?” Guided him here.
Old Hank gave a heavy nasal voice, and it seemed that he had guessed it right. His eyes just turned to Zach, "What are you doing here! The Lord knows that a guy like you doesn't need to come to a place like this!"
Zach shook his head helplessly and sat down next to Old Hank. "I, too, am looking for Derek." I must emphasize this. childish.
Our childish vampire glanced at the people sitting on the opposite seat. They looked like a family, leaning together crookedly, and they looked like they had been asleep for a long time. This reminds Zach
"How long have you been waiting here?" Zach looked at Old Hank.
Old Hank was too lazy to look at Zach and asked, "What time is it now?"
"Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Tsk, 24 hours!" Old Hank replied.
Zach frowned, "Have you eaten? Sleeping? You won't sit here all day..."
Zach couldn't finish his caring blaming, "I'm an old man, do you know what old means?" Old Hank glared at Zach, "It means that even if I want to do that, it's impossible! I can't hold it in !”
Well, he looked so angry and couldn't support his own words at all. But Zach couldn't talk back. The nurse who came over apologized and pressed Old Hank, "You can keep your voice down, this is a hospital."
"Tsk!" Old Hank was still obedient and lowered his voice, "Derek came out once in the middle of the night and fell asleep before he could say a few words." He was impatient with himself and said, "Who is he? It was too heavy, and I was too embarrassed to wake him up, so I fell asleep too. When I woke up, he had already gone in again." He raised his wrinkled eyelids and glanced at the sleeping family opposite, "At noon An intern came out to inform about the progress of the operation, saying that it would take at least four or five hours." He seemed to be recalling something, "It was something I didn't understand about heart bypass surgery. It's just that it's very time-consuming anyway. "
Zach opened his mouth and said, "Heart bypass." Zach's repetition was not because he understood it, he just understood it with a vampire's straightforward understanding of the language. He felt that this was... something that he couldn't let go of after hearing it. Is the heart something that can be bypassed? At least Zach couldn't let the blood drain away from his heart.
"Hey!" Zach suddenly waved to a nurse, "Come here and explain, heart bypass surgery."
Perhaps out of instinct, Old Hank patted Zach when the redness in his eyes passed, but he was stopped by Zach just as he was about to speak.
Before the nurse came over, the door of the operating room opened.
"xx's family members are..." Before he could finish the question, the whole family who had been sleeping soundly stood up like clockwork and immediately surrounded the doctor. Overlapping voices came to him, "Is the operation over?? Father, Grandfather, husband, brother, how are you??”
Zach felt that now was not a good time to continue to acquire knowledge, so he waved his hand to the nurse who came over and took back the red.
"Well..." The doctor who was surrounded seemed a little panicked, "No, no. Hug, I'm sorry..."
"Sorry? Why are you saying sorry?!" Some people were already getting excited. Both Zach and Old Hank saw the shaken doctor through the cracks in the crowd. The two of them rarely had the same opinion, watching without making a sound.
"No, no!" The doctor shook his head vigorously, completely panicked, "I mean the operation is not over! Mr. xx is very good... uh, no, not very good either... Wait! Wait a moment! Please don't get excited yet, No, don’t catch me, please..."
"Let the doctor speak!" There are still sensible relatives.
"Thank you." The doctor could be heard breathing heavily as he was surrounded by breathless people. It took him about four or five seconds to adjust his emotions, "The bypass was successful."
There were overlapping sighs of relief, but they were immediately interrupted by the lifting of the breath. The doctor did not finish what he said:
"But Dr. Grande found a perforation in Mr. xx's ventricular septum, which was too big to be repaired..."
He was interrupted, "What do you mean when you say 'hole' cannot be repaired?" The interrupter pinched his trembling fingers together to compare the size, and it was probably only the size of a pin.
"Hole." The doctor tried to explain, making a circle with his finger. "The blood flow originally separated by the ventricular septum will shunt in the opposite direction..."
Was interrupted again. This is how people are, the less they understand something, the easier it is to be self-righteous, especially in this situation of eagerness to be 'optimistic', "But you said before that the blood flow to the heart would be cut off in order to undergo bypass surgery, right! The blood flows from that machine! It doesn’t need to go through the extracorporeal circulation of my father’s heart, right! My father’s blood doesn’t have the reverse shunt you just mentioned, right?!”
"Ouch!" Old Hank yelled because Zack's scratch hurt him.
Zach let go of Old Hank, grabbed his hand, and continued to look at the doctor.
"Uh, yes." The doctor didn't seem to know what to say next, "But, but..."
"But this means that your father, brother, husband, grandfather, husband..." The person who helped the doctor to answer was Zach. "He has no heart and can only rely on that machine. I hope that machine can be installed in his body. inside."
So when everyone, including old Hank, looked at Zach, the person who gave this answer, Zach was already gone.
A vampire would not miss seeing a machine that can replace the heart. So, our Zach is already standing behind his Grande brothers.
"Beautiful~" Zach exclaimed.
Every waking creature in the operating room looked at him.
"Who are you!!" It was the anesthesiologist who was the first to question. But this was the only one left. In an instant, the only conscious creature left was Derek, who was stunned on the spot.
"Beautiful~" Zach's finger has already touched the machine next to the operating table, like a tape player magnified twenty times. In the sound of the machine pump running, you can clearly see the flowing water in the connected pipelines. bright red. Zach seemed to choose a direction at random, moving his fingers towards the tube, following the blood flow in it towards the open chest...
Bang!
It was a sticky touch, and the hand in the blood-stained glove grabbed Zach's hand. It was Derek, "How did you get in?! What's wrong with these people?! Have you disinfected it?!" This extreme language The questions that pop up are probably in no particular order.
Zach raised his eyebrows, easily pushed away Derek's hand, and said something that should have sounded very confusing to Derek, "You should be lucky that I'm very full now."
Zach didn't continue to move his fingers. He had already seen what he needed to see. 'Beauty' was not his only conclusion. "You seem to be in a bad situation, brother." Zach looked at the machine that replaced the heart. , “Does this machine that obviously won’t fit in the patient’s chest have a name?”
A doctor's instinct, at least the one Derek showed when Grande was confronted by Maya, is to answer questions. But this instinct was suppressed, "You shouldn't be here!!" He began to quickly pass Zach, checking the doctors and nurses who were lying flat on the ground.
Zach knew that Derek must be rationalizing his sudden appearance in his mind and how he suddenly appeared among everyone. Let him make his own decisions, Zach was very persistent, "What is this thing called?"
Fainting, fainting, fainting... This is the result of Derek's examination, "Is this what you often do?! Make people faint?!"
"Artificial, heart-lung machine." Zach found the sign himself, tilting his head and thinking. Zach would not touch the buttons on the machine, but for the explanation part, he could read, "Oxygenator, and, um, blood pump..."
Derek, who didn't get an answer, had already started to look at his operating room, "Where did you come in from?" There was no sign of opening the door in the sterilization room, which was where the doctor came in and out. After informing relatives about the operation status and communicating with the doctor, he asked, "Where is my intern?!"
The rationalization process seems to be going well. Just let him go now, anyway, it will be broken soon.
Zach had lost interest in the 'beautiful' machine, for the reason he had stated that it wouldn't fit in his chest. Then, Zach also began to look for truly beautiful things in this operating room, "Where did you put them?"
"Let me ask you where is my intern?!" Derek stared at Zach almost ferociously, "Grand's last name is the only reason why I haven't called security now! So you'd better answer me!!"
Zach didn't bother to pay attention, "Ah~ I found it." He found the 'irrepairable' heart in the basin of medical waste, "This is really... amazing, I never thought that a heart in my knowledge , the organ that can completely define a person's death, is now separated from the body and completely dead here, but his owner is still alive. Human beings never cease to amaze me~"
Are you aware of Zach's psychology? Maya would care that humans are changing human organs, because there is a meaning of 'changing one thing into another thing', which is Papa's midnight shadow. And Zach will care that the heart, which in his perception represents absolute life, can no longer define the state of life!
Zach looked around and didn't see any spare gloves. He looked at Derek who was already walking towards the pager and said, "Brother, come here and help me~"
Derek glanced sideways at Zach and said, "You have two minutes to disappear from here!" He already picked up the receiver.
"Come here and be obedient." Chi Hong.
No need to continue. In just two or three seconds, Derek regained consciousness, but he was already standing next to the operating table holding a dead heart. "I, what's wrong with me..." Before he could finish speaking, he had already looked at the operating table. It’s time for Zach to try to disconnect the heart-lung machine connection that is keeping the patient alive at this time!
"stop… "
Zach raised his hand and slapped him, not too hard. It was just enough for Derek to pounce on his patient's chest. Unbiased, the heart falls back to where it should be.
Derek felt himself being pulled up again, and Zach's calm voice aside, "Don't get too used to it, this is a one-time situation for me."
When he looked to his side, Zach was holding a No. 10 knife and swiping it towards his wrist.
"You know what." Zach tilted his head and looked at Derek beside him, "When I came here, I was going to say something to you that you are bound to not understand. The purpose is to help you with psychological construction. If you are not qualified, If something irreparable happens to Rand, you don't have to worry about Grande." Zach raised his eyebrows. His wrist began to bleed, and it flowed to the open chest on the operating table. "After all, Grande is now Virtue actually has nothing to do with you.”
Too many things that were impossible to rationalize in the human brain were happening. Derek's brain completely stopped running in the open chest, and when his heart, which had been classified as medical waste, began to beat again.
"I'm not a human. I don't know if you've ever heard of a vampire. I'm a vampire, a thing that sucks blood." Zach's wrist has healed, and a drop of blood that was about to fall was wiped away by Zach's finger and touched his lips. "My blood can heal."
Zach's eyes left Derek for a moment, he glanced at the open chest on the operating table, curled his lips, and reached out to hold the bone expander that fixed the chest, "How do you remove this thing..." Click, it has been removed by Zach After pulling it out, a situation that would never occur under normal circumstances occurred, such as the telescopic door that could finally be closed in the chest, and it was closed with a swipe!
Zach raised his eyebrows, casually threw away the equipment in his hand, and continued to face Derek, "I'm not even Grande. I'm just a vampire who took your place. The Grande you found is not you at all. The Grande you are looking for is me, something created by me as a vampire. So, when one day, this Grande created by me disappears, just don’t have any thoughts." Of course it will not be missed. "Oh, old Hank knows, so don't raise any boring 'hopes'. As for Benjamin." Zach calmly accepted the result, "He has moved away from Grande, and I no longer represent him, so , I speak directly about myself.”
It was hard to tell whether Derek was listening to Zach, because his pupils were shrinking as the incision on the patient's chest healed on the operating table.
Zach glanced at the screen in front of the operating table, "Are those the patient's physical signs? Are these data normal?" Zach didn't really ask, "At least in my perception, he is already very healthy. "After that, Zach nodded himself, and pointed the No. 10 knife in his hand at the patient's chest, which was already healthy and traceless. "In order to make it easier for you to explain later, you still need to make it look like surgery." One stroke. Open, clean. When Zach does things, he's so thoughtful that it's sometimes uncomfortable.
There was no need to do any unnecessary things. Zach walked around Derek and handed the suture tools to Derek's hand like a nurse. He patted his shoulder and said, "I guess you didn't come back for internship." Do you need to contact the United Network for Organ Sharing? Heart, haha, now you don't have to report the death of someone to save your patient. Forget about the perforation, I will help you solve it together. Grande's Brother, the discount limit for this title here ends here. You, please take care of yourself."
Disappeared.
