Chapter 281: Antidote to killing
Amantadine (Amantadine) is the word that Liang Baoguang wanted to say but couldn't say completely, and when Li Yunjing realized this, her brain suddenly became blank, because she didn't know how to face Daisy Pesso later, how to explain it to her later.
If Liang Baoguang's diagnosis is correct, then it doesn't matter whether Max Pesso stays frozen or rewarms at the moment, because he will die anyway. Once the optimal time for treatment is missed, there is no way to solve amantadine poisoning with the current medical technology.
No matter how heavy the mood is, you can't escape when it's time to face it, Li Yunjing pushed open the door of the intensive care unit and stood in front of Eric Ross again. Several doctors at Presbyterian Hospital are nervously conducting real-time observations, hoping to see prednisone work, and if the patient is really suffering from heart and liver failure caused by an autoimmune disease, then they can be regarded as a small pressure on Mount Sinai Hospital.
"Dr. Lee, I just performed an electrical cardioversion on the patient's body temperature, and the effect of prednisone is not visible for a while, so you don't need to be too anxious. Max Pesso's vital signs are stable so far, which gives Eric Ross a lot of confidence.
"Dr. Rose, let your people pack up and go home, there's no need to work overtime. Li Yunjing sighed, although there were no accurate test results yet, she knew that Liang Baoguang must be right, it doesn't take such a lot of people to do the laboratory and finishing work, just leave one, "Amantadine poisoning, this is Paul's diagnosis." ”
"Oh my God, I'm ...... I'm sorry. Eric Ross said this sentence not to Li Yunjing, but to Daisy Pesso, who has been in the intensive care unit, although he has been practicing medicine and has issued many death notices over the years, but every time he says "mourning and change", his mood is the same uncomfortable.
Daisy Pesso raised her head and looked at Eric Rowe with big black and white eyes, "Amantadine poisoning, can't it be cured?"
"Now, there's really no way to heal. In English, Eric Ross hates the phrase "not able to", and every time he says it, he feels a deep pain. To quote Wang Xiaobo's famous words, all people's anger is essentially anger at their own incompetence.
Liang Baoguang fell asleep on the hospital bed, and returned to the night bus that was heading for the abyss. Sitting beside him was the raunchy older brother Max Pesso, who could even smell the unpleasant smell of alcohol mixed with tobacco and a woman's perfume.
"I'll close the windows for you. I wanted to reach out and touch the people around me, but no matter how hard Liang Baoguang tried, he couldn't do it, so he just stood up according to the experience in his memory, stretched out his arm and closed the windows in the front row, and when he turned around, he saw Max Pesso take out a yellow medicine bottle and pour out two white pills, which he could recognize at a glance as niacin amantadine tablets for the treatment of influenza viruses.
"Don't eat!" no matter how anxious and screaming he was, it didn't affect Max Pesso's movements, and he took a sip of the pill with the purified water he had just bought at the roadside convenience store. When the bus rear-ended the garbage truck in front of him, Liang Baoguang's thinking was very clear, and he had said goodbye to this cheerful and free uncle.
Max Pesso's rash was caused by a viral flu, and he teased him when he was playing by the pool, asking his uncle if he was sick from playing around. Take medicine when you have a cold, these amantadine were prescribed by the family doctor the day before, and there was no problem with taking these medicines, but this car accident turned the cold medicine into a life-threatening charm.
The car accident damaged Max Pesso's kidneys, and the body's self-detoxification function was greatly reduced, and the original amount of amantadine could not be metabolized at all, which led to a series of evil consequences such as tachycardia and liver failure. Fate is so cruel, if he thinks of taking medicine a few seconds later, amantadine will not enter his body, and after he is discharged from the hospital, his kidney function is at most a little worse than others.
It's a pity that reality is not a science fiction movie, and Liang Baoguang is not the Jack Gyllenhaal in "Source Code", no matter how many times he experiences the whole process of a car accident, he can't change what has happened. After waking up alone in the hospital room, he didn't want to move at all, just stared at the ceiling with blank eyes, even if he didn't look at the time, he knew that it was too late, and he knew the effect of diazepam very well.
In order to see Max Pesso for the last time, Liang Baoguang still dragged his heavy body to the intensive care unit, not only Daisy Pesso was sitting on the edge of the bed, but his future father-in-law and future mother-in-law were also present, and he approached in a hospital gown with an unusually complicated look.
"Amantadine has already bound to proteins, has it?" Liang Baoguang knew that hope was already equal to zero, not close to zero, but he still couldn't help but ask. If Max Pesso had just received him yesterday and put him on the dialysis machine, and he would have been dialysis with the machine without interruption, the effects of poisoning would have been minimized, but amantadine would bind to proteins in the human body, and the dialysis machine would have no choice but to take proteins.
"Yes, there's nothing we can do about it. Eric Ross lowered his head, the results of the test came out a few hours ago, it was indeed amantadine poisoning, although all of them questioned their ability to think was affected by the car accident, but Liang Baoguang's diagnosis was not problematic, but they have been doing useless work.
"What about heart and liver transplants, is it still too late?" If he could be diagnosed before he "rested" and then given an organ transplant, his life would be short, at most four or five years longer and he would not be able to get out of bed, but at least it would be better than dying as he is now.
The Pesso family is incredibly rich and powerful, and the source of organs and the consent of the hospital committee are not a problem, but it is too late, and now even if he has an organ transplant, he will not be saved, "not only the heart." Liver, kidney, and multi-organ failure have made transplantation no longer feasible. ”
Of course, Liang Baoguang knew that Daisy Pesso was for his own good, and he didn't want him to die suddenly due to overwork, so he put diazepam in his drink, but he still couldn't restrain his anger, and swept all the medical equipment on the emergency cart next to him to the ground, "Fack!
