Chapter 6 Brotherly Love
The clean ward is fully equipped, not only with a sofa table for guests, a TV and a computer, but also two white beds. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn addition, in the space next to the restroom, there is something like a space capsule in science fiction to escape.
This "space capsule" is slightly similar to the cockpit of a fighter jet, and it also has an arc-shaped streamlined transparent hatch upside down, but there is a comfortable space in the cabin that can be easily reclined, and there are some incomprehensible instruments and small lights in red and green, and the most conspicuous is a surveillance camera of about 10 inches.
This is the latest type of single-person hyperbaric oxygen chamber for special patients. In modern medical treatment, according to different diseases, hyperbaric oxygen chambers can be divided into two types of cabins: single and multi-person according to the scale.
It can not only be used to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, severe anaerobic infections, intractable anemia and myelitis, etc., but also has a good auxiliary effect on stroke, dementia, cerebral palsy, and absence convulsions, Lyme disease and polio, and even vegetative and other neurological diseases.
In the special hyperbaric oxygen chamber in this room, there is a tall and pale teenager lying quietly at the moment, and it will make people feel surprised when he looks at it, the boy and Yi Yang lying here are simply a mold!
However, after careful observation, there is still a slight gap between the height and posture of the young man and Yi Yang. That's right, this pale boy in a state of small consciousness is Yi Yang's elder brother Yi Ming.
He is about 1.88 meters tall, and his weak breathing and squirming eyelids from time to time prove that his signs of life have not disappeared.
The atmosphere in the ward was quiet and a little depressing, and Yi Yang, who was kneeling outside the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, had maintained this position for 20 minutes. Since he entered the ward and saw his brother's appearance, he hadn't said a word, but just let the raging tears on his face fall silently.
Behind Yi Yang stood his brother's attending physician and two young nurses, a man and a woman, and this scene made the three of them look at each other. It seems that the relationship between the brothers is far from what they can imagine. The sobbing, wailing, and roaring were surprisingly absent, but the terrible silence was very oppressive.
......
"Sorry to keep you waiting! Please be seated! Director Zhao, I have to ask you to tell me about my brother's condition. In addition, the follow-up treatment plan also needs to be provided and supported by the hospital. ”
Wiping away his tears, Yi Yang, who got up slowly, struggled to squeeze out a struggling smile, then unscrewed two bottles of mineral water and handed them over respectfully.
"Mr. Yi, you're welcome, no one will feel good about this matter, I can understand your feelings, you can also sit, let's talk slowly."
The calmness of the teenager after his grief made the emaciated middle-aged doctor admire.
"You still call me Xiao Yi, your age is already my elder, there are some gaffes, everyone laughs."
"Okay. Let's make a long story short, Yi Ming is now in the midst of what is being called a vegetative symptom. But don't worry, due to the timely rescue, his brain is not in a deep coma, and he stays in a relatively safe state of small consciousness. ”
Seeing Yi Yang's eyes lit up and his expression was slightly surprised, Director Zhao introduced it in an orderly manner.
"Usually only patients in a small state of consciousness have the possibility of waking up again, and the probability is relatively high, but the time of awakening depends on the patient's own willpower and the cooperation of recovery treatment. It can be as short as two or three years, five or eight years, and as for follow-up treatment, our hospital should also listen to the opinions of family members. ”
"The cost of this treatment is not affordable for ordinary people, and in most cases, the patient's family chooses to forgo the treatment, of course... This is also understandable. A small number of patients are treated conservatively, that is, they are transferred to general wards and barely maintain the lives of patients. ”
Without waiting for the doctor to continue, Yi Yang interrupted his suggestion quickly and decisively.
"Director Zhao, you don't have to worry about the cost! I just want to ask, how hopeful is it that our hospitals can treat such patients at the level of our hospitals in China now? If not, I send my brother to the United States, and in short, I need the best treatment, no matter what it takes. ”
The director was obviously moved by Yi Yang's true feelings, this situation is rare, most normal people will choose that kind of helpless ending, and he has seen a lot of feelings that he has more than enough strength to have.
To be honest, if the police station hadn't heard that the patient had a younger brother who played in the NBA, the hospital would not have spared no effort to organize the rescue and send him to an expensive special hyperbaric oxygen chamber ward for treatment.
Saving lives is just a symbolic slogan. Alas! In this era, without economic strength, everything is just empty talk!
"Child, you can rest assured that our hospital's level of clinical experience and treatment experience in this area are also ranked among the best in the world, and there is still great hope for the comprehensive systematic and original Chinese medicine methods. In other words, if our hospital doesn't have the capacity to heal patients, then you're not going to be much better off even if you send them to the United States. ”
"But... Child..., to be honest, even this requires time and money, and I feel your feelings for the patient. However, this cost is really not small, can you afford it? You have to think about this! You're still young after all, and there's still a long way to go. ”
"Thank you Director for your kindness, this person lying here is the whole of my life, without him I am just a walking flesh, please tell me how much the best treatment will cost?"
"Yi Ming's early treatment is inseparable from the hyperbaric oxygen chamber, and also requires acupuncture and massage of professional Chinese medicine, you know that the patient's life must be taken care of by special people, including eating hygiene and other rehabilitation behaviors are inseparable from the assistance of others."
"I preliminarily calculated that the cost of hospitalization and special care salary, etc., will also need at least about 700,000 yuan per year, plus the cost of early rescue, it is almost 800,000 yuan! It would be enough for the patient to wake up in one year, but it would be a ...... in five or eight years."
"Alas! Kid, do you want to... Think clearly! ”
"Thank you! I'll take care of all the costs now, and that's not a problem. I still need to go to the police station. I only have a few months to go on vacation, so it's up to you to do the rest. ”
Without waiting for the middle-aged chief physician to finish speaking, Yi Yang bowed deeply to the three of them and left in a hurry.
"This kid... It's really urgent! ”
He shook his head with a smile of appreciation, turned around and gave a few words to the two young nurses, and all that remained was to spare no effort to organize the follow-up treatment plan.
