Chapter 169: Opportunity for Healing

It turns out that stupid thieves are more than just stupid thieves. He may still be a thug with his cruel methods.

"We don't dare to ask specific questions. Doctor Cao Yanhua shrugged his shoulders, "But even armed police with guns, this must be a big case, right?"

Due to the problem of positioning, the Fourth Central Hospital has rich experience in dealing with traumatic patients. The number of patients brought in by the police is not too small – some are even less common for gunshot wounds. But even those who were uniformed by police gunshot wounds were mostly treated in handcuffs and in wards with thick iron bars on the windows β€” at most, a plainclothes police officer on duty outside the door, and nothing more.

For the sake of a patient, he was handcuffed and ankle-chained, and even two armed police guards with guns were transferred. Could it be that this person has several lives on his back? Sun Lien was a little surprised, but he quickly shifted his attention to other places, "Lung cancer bone metastasis is not considered the scope of emergency treatment, right?"

"Of course it doesn't count. Cao Yanhua nodded, "But the unexplained coma is just thatβ€”this kid has been in a coma since he was handcuffed." ”

Sun Lien frowned, "Are you sure he's not pretending to be unconscious?" Considering the leg cuffs and armed police guards, it is very possible for this kind of person to pretend to be faint in an attempt to evade interrogation.

"If he's really playing dumb, then I'm going to applaud him for being strong. Cao Yanhua said with a smile, "If a person who pretends to be dizzy can still stay motionless when he gets off the urinary catheter, then he is really a man." ”

The emergency department often encounters patients who "voluntarily" faint for various reasons. When this kind of "active coma" does not affect the diagnosis, or does not lead to immediate danger to the patient, most medical staff will choose to turn a blind eye to the situation - even if the other party pretends to be insincere and does not act properly.

In other cases, it is also part of the doctor's job to wake up the person who "pretends to faint" to wake up on their own as soon as possible. In addition to the routine use of arousal promoters such as naloxone, the rest of the solution is to make these people who are pretending to sleep feel "uncomfortable". Diuretics test actors' difficult choices about bladder capacity or wetting pants in public. The gastrofeeding tube is a merciless interrogation of the patient's neuroreflex mechanism. As for the urinary catheter...... Stigma plus foreign body invasion brings pain. Generally speaking, those who can remain in a coma even after inserting a urinary catheter are really comatose and will never be able to act.

"Why?" Sun Lien became curious. Bone damage caused by bone metastasis of lung cancer is indeed very serious, but it should not make people faint directly.

Doctor Cao stood up and prepared to flash people, "I didn't find out, the emergency department is having a headache, you wait for the news, if you really can't figure it out, it will be estimated that Director Zhou will have to let you pick up this case." ”

Sun Lien did not wait for Zhou Jun to inform him of the news of taking over the case. In fact, until the end of work, Zhou Jun never called him. This made Sun Lien, who was ready to work all night again, a little surprised.

"You're not leaving?" Xu Yourong came over and knocked on the door, Sun Lien planned to go to the villa again tonight, and have a meal with Xu's father and Xu's mother by the way. And Xu Yourong and Rachel were reminded in advance by Hu Jia, who was far away in England, to come over as soon as they got off work.

"Right now. Sun Lien nodded and cleaned up the things in front of him. "Rachel too?"

A head with blond hair came out from under Xu Yourong's arm, "I'm here!"

Sun Lien was startled by this sudden head, "Why are you hiding here?"

"To make it clear to you that you don't have a girlfriend right now and are stuck in a melancholy feeling. I don't know why Xu Yourong taught Rachel's Chinese so well, especially the word "melancholy", in what environment and under what circumstances will it be taught?

"Thank you for reminding me of this. Sun Lien replied expressionlessly, "In order to thank you for your kindness, I decided to invite the Pascals to dinner tonight, and by the way, ask her how she was with Lao Pa at the dinner table." ”

"Big brother, I was wrong, please let it go. Rachel confessed quickly and ruthlessly. And the method of cowardice is also very thorough, "I have a girlfriend, I can't die with you." ”

Sun Lien blinked, and suddenly became curious about Dr. Pascal's previous love life.

But looking at Rachel's cowardice, it seems to be ...... Isn't it appropriate to ask directly?

Sun Lien successfully scared Rachel away, and when the three of them sat in the car, Sun Lien suddenly remembered Xiao Yanran he had seen in the morning.

"I remember you said that you came to our fourth hospital mainly to select cancer patients who meet the content of your experiment, right?" Sun Lien parked the car in front of the traffic light and asked Rachel, "What are the conditions?"

"Our program is primarily for patients with solid tumors, especially advanced cancers that have metastasized. Rachel suddenly became serious when she encountered a professional problem, "Liver cancer metastasized to the lungs by hematogenous metastasis, as well as terminal lung cancer with bone metastasis, are all counted as the target group of our experiment. ”

Sun Lien frowned, according to this standard, Xiao Yanran must not be included. What's more, with her current physical condition, even if she has to go to the capital for treatment, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.

"How is the effect of the treatment?" The red light turned into a green light, Sun Lien stepped on the accelerator lightly, and the car slowly drove out. "It's a newly started clinical trial, and it should work better than the existing methods, right?"

Rachel leaned on Xu Yourong's shoulder in the back seat and said softly, "The clinical trial conducted in the United States has worked well, and the five-year survival rate of phase IV patients can probably increase to about 18%." ”

This means that about 18% of patients with stage 4 liver and lung cancer who have undergone experimental therapies and drugs are still alive after five years.

That's a staggering number. As far as Sun understands, the five-year survival rate of patients with stage IV lung cancer is only about 2% to 5%. The five-year survival rate for stage IV liver cancer is slightly higher, around 6%.

This is a chance to more than triple your chances of survival!

Sun Lien suddenly came to his senses, even if Xiao Yanran's health is not very good, it is not completely impossible to go to the capital for treatment. Then he shook his head and remembered the biggest problem with Xiao Yanran - she was only six years old.

Xiao Yanran, who is only six years old and is under institutional supervision, is unlikely to be the subject of experimental treatment under any circumstances.

Even if it might give her a chance to live again, even if she might double her life.

For a child who is only six years old, a year is already too long to seem to see the end of the day. How many things can five years bring her that she has never seen or heard before? How many pleasant and joyful memories can five years leave her? Sun Lien's expression was a little stiff, and he asked in a low voice, "I have a case here, it's a little girl......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Rachel.

"If you have a suitable case, send it to my mailbox. Her tone was firm, "Don't tell me anything about this patient, I can't decide whether she can be in the treatment group or not." There will be a special auditor to review her. Rachel lowered her head and sighed, "Please understand." ”

Sun Lien also sighed and nodded silently.

"But I did see a potentially eligible patient in your emergency department. Rachel continued in the car, "I'm sure you've heard of it, the man in handcuffs. ”

Sun Lien was shocked, "The terminal lung cancer bone metastasis that caused the dislocation of the right shoulder?"

"Yes. Rachel nodded, "Judging by the degree of illness, he should be the most suitable." ”
