493. The unbearable weight of life

"18 beds sudden ventricular failure, prepare for first aid immediately!"

Chen Ruowen was still a little unconscious when he was pulled out of the department by Gao Tang, and followed him to the outside of the ward in a daze, where he saw the nurse hurriedly going in and out, and another doctor on duty was pressing the patient's chest to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

"You two go to the emergency department and borrow a ventilator." The senior brother hurriedly dropped a sentence and hurried back to the department to make a call, as if he was going to call someone.

Before Chen Ruowen could understand what was going on, Gao Tang pulled her and pressed the elevator and rushed in.

In the process of descending the elevator, Chen Ruowen felt that her heart was beating, beating fast and chaotic.

Being trapped in this small space of less than two square meters, I inexplicably have a sense of oppression that I can't breathe.

The legs that supported the body inexplicably disappeared from the sense of presence, and the muscles in both arms were weakening.

Cold, cold to goosebumps.

After a long time, Chen Ruowen realized that she was nervous.

But why?

She has never been nervous when she stands on the stage and faces tens of thousands of spectators at the same time, why is she so nervous in this small elevator with only two people?

After taking a long breath, Chen Ruowen realized that someone had been patting her on the back during this time.

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Ruowen was at a loss.

Was this sentence addressed to her?

How could she be afraid?

What a strange person who said this.

By the way, who's talking?

"Don't be afraid." The voice repeated with some concern, I don't know how many times. "Let's borrow a ventilator."

It turns out that this voice is Gao Tang's.

Chen Ruowen remembered.

When the two rushed back to the ward with the ventilators, the intubation doctor arrived. Only then did Chen Ruowen know that not all surgeries had time to go into the operating room.

The medical staff in the room were in a hurry, and interns like Chen Ruowen and Gao Tang couldn't help much, so they could only stare at the electrocardiogram and the rows of rapidly changing data on the display screen of the machine, and even the nurses could do much more than them.

Chen Ruowen looked at the rescue in front of her with wide eyes.

Why is my blood pressure still dropping even though I have used two vasopressors?

Why is it that the blood oxygen still can't come up after artificial ventilation?

Why......

Someone covered her eyes.

"Don't look at it."

Chen Ruowen clearly heard the long roar of the ECG monitor.

The death electrocardiogram was typed by Gao Tang, and the instruments were removed one after another, and he had to go back to return the ventilator, and when he was leaving, Chen Ruowen could still see the frightened eyes of the patient on the bed next door.

When writing the rescue record and death record, Chen Ruowen heard the senior doctor say.

"We actually did a very good job, and all the operations were very timely."

But...... Why do people still die?

"She's too old."

"She's already in poor health."

"Actually, I was lucky to be able to rescue it last time."

However, she is still talking to me this afternoon, and all the indicators are improving, why?

Chen Ruowen slowly turned her head to look at her drawer.

There were also two mangoes that the old lady had stuffed for her last night.

"It's not your fault."

Chen Ruowen heard someone saying to her, and after a while, she felt that someone was patting her on the head.

"We borrowed the ventilator, all the medical and rescue operations went wrong, and everyone did everything they could."

Chen Ruowen nodded slowly, but her eyes were still staring at her drawer.

"I know."

She didn't know what she was thinking right now, she just felt as if everything was unreal.

It was the first patient she saw after she came to the hospital, and she had to see her at least three times a day, sometimes giving her fruit, sometimes pulling her to talk about TV, and sometimes complaining to her that "the medicine is so bitter".

The day before yesterday, when my children came to visit her, they said that when she was better, they would take her back to her hometown......

Chen Ruowen felt that her heart was blocked.

"I see a lot of news about death every year, and I never feel that uncomfortable. When Pan Pan's master died last year, I told him that it would be good to visit his family more...... This is the first time someone has died in front of me. She blinked lightly as she stared at the drawer, "I shouldn't have studied medicine at all." ”

She chose this major with the mentality of falling in love, and a small part of the school's curriculum was missing, and her boyfriend relied on her boyfriend to mark her key points and help her review every exam.

After scoring seventy or eighty points, I was still complacent, and I felt that I was talented. But for the first time, I saw the patient fail to rescue in front of me, and I realized that I was so useless.

Why is it that even if we follow the dogma one by one, we can't get the results that we should be able to get in theory?

"It's the second time." Gao Tang half-squatted in front of Chen Ruowen and handed her a napkin. "The first time two years ago, it was my driver who died. He came to my house when I was three or four years old and drove me to school every day. At that time, we fled back from Beicheng together, and he was shot in the leg and couldn't run fast. So I didn't run at all, and one person helped me drag two enemies, and I was slashed several times in the waist, and I also had a ...... in my hands I don't know about it later, because I don't dare look back. ”

"I haven't been able to recover his body yet."

Chen Ruowen finally moved her eyes and looked at Gao Tang.

His expression didn't seem to be particularly sad when he said these words, and even his eyes were still the same affectionate look that had not changed for thousands of years, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

But Chen Ruowen inexplicably felt that he could understand his current mood.

Maybe it's because they've just witnessed the same death.

"The old lady is 85 years old, with filial children, lovely granddaughters, came to the hospital and met a group of medical staff who tried their best to save her, and luckily escaped the clutches of the last death, she was smiling when she left."

Chen Ruowen's tears fell even harder.

"Liar, my ribs were crushed when I was resuscitated, how could I laugh in such pain."

"I kid you not." Gao Tang raised three fingers, looking like he swore to the sky. "Although I covered your eyes, I could see clearly that the old lady was smiling, and finally I saw her lips move, and the shape of her lips ...... It's saying thank you. ”

Chen Ruowen bit her lip and fell on the table.

"Why are you telling me this...... I'm even more uncomfortable! ”

There were no patients on Saturday, and the old lady's children came to collect the body, and when they left, they were still saying thank you to the doctors in the department.

When it was finally time to get off work, Chen Ruowen finally saw Bai Jinyan outside the hospital, and the emotions that had not occurred for a whole day finally rolled again.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm here. Let's go home. ”

Gao Tang hung behind not far away, watching the young couple hug each other and leave.

The person who can justifiably hold her and comfort her is not himself after all.
