"When I was in the provincial capital, the whole hospital consulted on a patient." Gao Shaojie said sideways when he saw Su Yun put away the film, thought for a moment.
Su Yun glanced at him and asked, "Lao Gao, what kind of patient are you consulting?"
"Heart trauma, pericardial tamponade, it was already 14-16 minutes when we arrived at the hospital." Gao Shaojie said simply.
As soon as the topic came up, everyone in the room except Lin Yuan knew what Gao Shaojie wanted to say.
This is a medical paradox.
The patient's basic vital signs can be restored with all-out rescue efforts, but due to the long period of hypoxia, he will definitely suffer brain death and then become a vegetative state.
There are many definitions of success, including breathing, heartbeat, eating, and defecation, but no thinking. Is this considered alive
And is it necessary to rescue the patients Gao Shaojie mentioned? Every doctor has his or her own answer to this question.
Many doctors will rescue the patient at all costs. In addition, many doctors will perform a perfunctory rescue operation after knowing that the heart has stopped beating for so long, giving psychological comfort to the patient's family, and finally declare clinical death.
Many family members of patients will refuse further treatment, while many family members will continue to take good care of the patients until they develop severe intrapulmonary infections and die.
Whether to let go or not to let go, how to judge and how to act can only be based on the mentality and judgment of the treating doctor and the patient's family at that time.
"The patient was rescued in the end, but he was brain dead. The family could not accept being in a vegetative state. My parents are old, and I have an older brother who works in the south and has already settled there." Gao Shaojie cautiously wanted to persuade Zheng from the side. The boss, he did not tell the results, but introduced the situation inside the patient's home.
Zheng Ren understood what Gao Shaojie was going to say.
He shook his head, took the film bag from Su Yun's hand, and arranged the films in the order Wen Xiaonuan placed them.
Seeing Boss Zheng's expression and movements, Gao Shaojie felt relieved.
In fact, this was a very basic judgment. He was just afraid that Boss Zheng would become so arrogant that he would not care and wanted to complete such a difficult operation.
Again, if it’s normal, forget it. But now is the Nobel Prize review period, and at least this year should be spent as quietly as possible.
From now on, the world will be brighter and there will be plenty of time for Boss Zheng to show off his talents. Is there really nothing you can do? For others, it is, but for Boss Zheng, it is not the case, at least that's what Gao Shaojie thinks.
"Teacher Gao, what happened next?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.
When it comes to professional quality, Lin Yuan almost crushes the doctors who are training, such as Gu Xiaoran. But when it comes to clinical experience, Lin Yuan is one of those who is extremely lacking.
"Later, when faced with the vegetative state, the patient's parents could barely accept it at first. A few months later, they sued the attending doctor." Gao Shaojie said: "They said that the rescue was not done in time, which turned the child into what he is now. "
Lin Yuan has been back for a few months, and she knows that the situation at home is completely different from that at Harvard. This ending is reasonable and there is nothing to question.
"Don't talk about this, let's go out for dinner at night." Zheng Ren said after sorting out Xiao Shitou's information and patting the information that was dozens of centimeters thick.
"It's rare that you, the old man, take the initiative to say go out to eat." Su Yun said, "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever." Zheng Ren didn't find someone to throw away the information as Su Yun expected. He looked like he wanted to keep the information.
"Dong dong dong~" At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Boss Zheng is here, help me control the film." Feng Jianguo's voice came.
"Brother Feng, what brought you here?" Su Yun asked with a smile.
"Someone from my hometown came to see me for medical treatment. I didn't understand. He didn't come to see Boss Zheng for a visit." Feng Jianguo said.
As he said this, he walked in, saw the dozens of centimeters thick documents on the desk, and sighed: "This patient's family is very thoughtful. It will take more than ten years to keep so much information."
"A little more than half a year." Zheng Ren said.
"..." Feng Jianguo realized something and immediately stopped the topic.
"Wait a moment, Brother Feng, I..." Zheng Ren looked at the information and felt a little worried.
A small mountain of information must not be placed in a doctor's office. If anyone takes it away, looks at it, and then doesn't put it back, the information will be gone.
It's like a doctor losing his ball pen anytime and anywhere. One day he had four or five ball pens in his pocket, and the next day he didn't have any.
"Boss, if you don't want it at home, why do you still keep this thing?" Su Yun said unhappily.
"Yeah." Zheng Ren was noncommittal. He didn't want to cause any controversy over this matter. Just thinking about it, I took out the phone after a few seconds and dialed.
Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren disdainfully.
"Mr. Cui, how is your health lately?"
"Don't say that. I'm still waiting for you to go to work and accompany you on your medical visits."
"I have some information here, but there is no place to put it..."
"Okay, then I'll contact Zhou Litao."
After saying that, Zheng Ren hung up the phone, with a faint storm surging between his brows.
"How is Mr. Cui?" Su Yun asked with concern.
During this period, the two of them visited Mr. Cui again. The old man became even weaker, but he held on and refused to fall.
In Mr. Cui's own words, he wanted to see Xiao Zheng stand on the Nobel Prize podium and give a speech. This can be regarded as a lifelong wish, but I don’t know if I will have the chance to fulfill it.
"I heard that my thinking is quite clear." Zheng Ren said, "Find time to see Mr. Cui again."
"Um... Lin Yuan, Xiao Ran, find a cart to help me pile the documents on it." Zheng Ren arranged for his little finger to do chores, and then asked Feng Jianguo: "Brother Feng, what patient is this?"
"A 24-year-old male patient, I felt after watching the movie..." Feng Jianguo said, hesitantly.
There seems to be something unspeakable that cannot be said.
"What on earth is going on? Brother Feng, why are you so hesitant in speaking?" Su Yun said disdainfully.
"Oh, maybe I saw it wrong. Boss Zheng and Dr. Su gave me a helping hand."
Feng Jianguo rummaged through his film bag, found the earliest and latest films, and inserted them into the reader. His expression was a little confused, as if he was suffering from constipation.
Su Yun came over, stood next to Zheng Ren and took a look at the film, and then said in shock: "Is this...pregnant?"
"That's right!" After hearing Su Yun's words, Feng Jianguo clapped his hands and said excitedly: "I just said it looked like she was pregnant. Because she was a man, and the film was more than eight years apart, so I didn't dare to continue thinking about it."
Man…pregnant…eight years…
Lin Yuan, who was packing her things, happened to hear these words. She immediately came over and watched the movie.
In the abdominal cavity, at the lower edge of the liver and near the right kidney, an image of a curled-up baby appeared in front of her eyes.
