Chapter 22 Night Clinic
Instructor Owen was stunned for a moment, but soon, the shock in his heart was suppressed.
"Hello, Liang Chu."
As he spoke, he tore off his hood and revealed his face hidden under the maskβhis nose was like a knife, his eyes were like stars, revealing the innate majesty and coldness of a soldier, and then, his dazzling blonde hair fell with the night wind, shimmering in the night.
Sure enough, it was Colonel Owen himself, the chief instructor of the Federal Medical College and the first-year class instructor of the Department of Life Engineering.
Seeing this face, Liang Chu's original trace of uncertainty disappeared, and he stretched out his hand generously: "Hello instructor, it's so late, is there anything you need to serve?" β
"I don't dare to serve." The instructor didn't stretch out his hand, and pointed to the ground lightly, "You can wake him up first." β
Liang Chu laughed: "To be honest, I wasn't sure it was you when I first made a move, until you buckled it like this, pinched it, haha, I was sure!" Liang Chu's eyebrows danced, imitating the fighting moves that Instructor Owen usually taught them.
After all, after getting along for a year, in addition to the movements, she has taught them to fight and swing at close range countless times, so she is becoming more and more familiar with the instructor's breath. I hadn't noticed it before, but it was so close to her body, and the faint and refreshing familiar smell like the smell of the ocean made her react instantly.
Liang Chu couldn't help but feel a little proud, although it couldn't compare to Lu En's dog nose, but his sense of smell has always been good!
Instructor Owen hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and no longer bothered about how she recognized herself, he raised his hand and emphasized again to the little girl who was smiling proudly: "Wake him up!" The tone was natural and casual, as if the fight had never happened.
"Oh!" Liang Chu touched his nose, and he was also helpless: "Do you think that now is acting in a martial arts novel, and you have to prepare an antidote at any time to overturn the enemy, so as to take the opportunity to blackmail you?" I'm just defending myself, but I didn't have anything like that. β
"So, what to do?" Instructor Owen glared at her.
"What can I do, I can only wait for him to wake up!" Liang Chu smiled. Raising his eyes to see the instructor's vicious appearance, he explained weakly: "Oh, don't worry, the dose I use is very small, if the person you want to save is not about to die, let's wait here for half an hour!" β
"Half an hour? Are you sure? The instructor looked at her with a slower expression.
"Hey, are you suspicious of my medication? If you don't worry, go to someone else, and I didn't let you come to me! Besides, in the middle of the night, every time you show up, you make it so scary, is this polite to ask someone for help? I'm so timid, how dare I walk outside without ordering these things! β
Instructor Owen secretly rolled his eyes, he just asked a word, this little girl replied with such a big chase, why did he provoke her? It's such a troublesome guy, forget it, it's better not to talk.
So, he simply stopped talking, and bent down and dragged the adjutant to the shadow at the base of the wall, where he stood on one side.
Because he was testifying in court, he didn't bring an e-book, and Liang Chu, who had nothing to do, felt bored. It's not fun to wait for someone to sleep! Liang Chu squatted next to the man who was sleeping soundly and secretly thought, he wouldn't wake up if he stabbed him anyway, should you take this opportunity to give him a physical examination? Hey~
But I looked up at the instructor standing tall like an ice sculpture next to me, forget it, the instructor is a terrible creature, so let's stay honest!
I'm tired of squatting, stand up.
It's boring to stand and kick the wall.
It's so boring to kick the wall, hey, why don't you wake up yet!
"Hey, instructor, where are you from?" Liang Chubai was bored and had nothing to say.
"Earthlings." Instructor Owen still didn't bother to talk.
"I mean, where were you born?" She is unyielding.
"Earth."
Well, you're right!
Liang Chu rolled his eyes, did he ask you where you are here, and you are also ready to answer "Earth!" β
Talking to this kind of person will make you cold to death!
Fortunately, just after half an hour, the man at his feet moved his eyelashes slightly, and Liang Chu immediately squatted down when he saw it, and slapped his cheek vigorously, "Wake up, wake up!" It's dawn, and it's going to die! β
It's not that she's in a hurry to save people, and if she continues to talk to this guy awkwardly, he's fine, he's going to die of cold!
A few big slaps shouted, and the person on the ground finally woke up leisurely, "Huh" Oh no, it's "Alas~" A long sigh finally eased up.
Suddenly, his big eyes opened, and he startled the unprepared Liang Chu!
"Where is this?" The man on the ground asked in a hoarse voice.
"Earth!" Liang Chu patted his chest and replied.
As soon as the words fell, I saw this person turn over and shouted, "Quick, go and catch ......."
"Scratch your head!" She slapped him in the head, "Miss Ben, I'm here, can you catch it again?" β
The man touched his head, looked at Owen who was standing like a pine on the side, and finally came to his senses, "Miss Liang, no, Dr. Liang, I'm sorry, I scared you before, right?" You see I'm also in a hurry to save people......" After saying that, he laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Liang Chu waved his hand, "We've been waiting for you for a long time, where are you?" Let's go! β
The man nodded happily and busily led the way. Strange as you walk - wasn't it the head that was slapped by Dr. Liang just now? Why is your face hot at this time? Is it because Dr. Liang is so beautiful? Not really!
.
The car drove a long way and came to a stop in a dilapidated residential area.
The buildings were crowded together in an orderly manner, high and low, and it was not easy to find an open space to park the car. Unexpectedly, there was such a crowded building complex near Yorktown, Liang Chu looked around while getting out of the car. As the night deepened, there were not many people walking outside, and the passers-by who were in a hurry were still quite curious about these silent outsiders, and kept looking back.
Liang Chu shrunk his neck, lowered his head and followed behind Instructor Owen, walking towards a small hotel in the depths of the night.
There were a lot of people in the hotel, and the sound of noisy noise came from time to time from one small room to another, and it was obvious that there was no soundproofing here.
Following the two of them, they turned around and entered an inconspicuous-looking room, and Liang Chu's eyes suddenly opened up - this is a room that has been simply remodeled, about three or four guest rooms have been opened, and the interior has been soundproofed, and maybe there are other bulletproof and fireproof or something, which I can't see for the time being.
"Dr. Liang, this way!" After the man who led the way pushed open the door, he pointed to a few makeshift beds placed against the wall and said, "There are four people in total, you can come and have a look first." After speaking, he observed the door, found no abnormality, and turned around and closed the door.
Liang Chu nodded and walked quickly to a few beds. Four people were injured, and the rest were three other half-breeds helping to take care of them, and their eyes lit up when they saw them come in.
But after seeing Liang Chu's description clearly, the eyes of several people dimmed again. A white-haired boy first spoke suspiciously, "Big brother, this woman is a doctor?" How can you be so young? β
"What's wrong with being young, being young isn't a doctor?" Liang Chu was not happy when he heard it.
"Hey, what nonsense, this is Dr. Liang, who was a top student at the famous Ward Medical School, last time Xiaobei's injury was so serious, you also know, it was Dr. Liang who cured it alone!" The man who was put down by her before was afraid that Liang Chu would be unhappy, so he was busy explaining for her.
The man's name is Jesse, he is Colonel Owen's adjutant in this organization, he has already taken the initiative to introduce himself in the car, and now he has introduced Liang Chu to help these three people - among the three, the boy who spoke first is the youngest, known as Lao Jiu, the girl who has been lying in front of the hospital bed over there is Lao Ba, and there is an uncle who is fiddling with the room and has not been introduced, he should be an ordinary member of the organization, and these people seem to be Colonel Owen's closest subordinates.
Liang Chu nodded slightly to them, and a few people turned around just to say hello with their eyes, obviously not treating Liang Chu as their own.
Why do you call me here if you're not worried? Liang Chu was too lazy to talk nonsense, so without saying a word, he put on gloves and began to investigate.
The four injured were all mixed-race people, and the preliminary estimate was that two were slightly injured and only needed some suturing and anti-inflammatory treatment. The other two were seriously injured, one of whom had a penetrating injury to the diaphragm from the abdomen, and it seemed that it would not be a problem if the rescue was done properly.
But the last place...... Liang Chu looked at the man carefully, shook his head, picked up the medical equipment next to the bed, and did another examination.
After the inspection, she sighed: "I can't save him!" β
As soon as the words fell, a red-haired girl who was originally busy by the bedside immediately screamed and rushed towards Liang Chu, "You are talking nonsense!" Aren't you a doctor? Do you understand it or not, he is obviously still alive, how can he not be saved, he is still alive! With a terrifying expression, he stared at Liang Chu, as if he was going to tear her apart in the next second.
"Eighth child, don't make trouble yet! Listen to Dr. Liang first! Instructor Owen stepped forward and stopped with his long arm. The eighth child was shocked by his majesty, his eyes darkened, and he lowered his head forgedly, "Yes......"
Liang Chuxin couldn't bear it, and the man on the hospital bed didn't look like he was thirty, but being young doesn't mean any advantage, and in the face of death, everyone is equal.
"I'm sorry, but to be honest I can't really save it. I am indeed a doctor, but I can only heal diseases, not lives. β
After speaking, Liang Chu stretched out his hand and pointed to the head of the man with a calm face and still breathing weakly, and said: "Although it seems that his injury is the lightest, it is not, and now he is brain dead." He'd been hit hard in the back of the head before, hadn't he? β
The girl endured the tears that were about to roll down her eyes, bit her lower lip, and looked at Liang Chu and nodded slightly, her expression of anger did not disappear.
Although he couldn't bear it, as a doctor, Liang Chu still had to say: "Therefore, his head injury is too serious, and there is no way to repair his brain." Now, in fact, I can declare him dead, and he will stop breathing in no more than half an hour. Of course, if you can't bear it, I can put him on a ventilator, but there is not much point in doing this now. β
The girl couldn't accept it at all, and muttered to her, "You...... You are talking nonsense! How could it be, how could it be hopeless! After speaking, he looked at the man sleeping peacefully on the hospital bed, his face was full of pain and reluctance, his eyes were scattered, and he looked really unbearable.
The other people in the room could not hide their grief and hung their heads in silence.
After a moment of silence, Instructor Owen suddenly asked, "What you said is that you can't be saved, that is, there are other people who can do it?" β
Unexpectedly, he actually caught her sentence just now, and he was really thoughtful. Liang Chu looked at him, nodded, and shook again, "Yes, but, it still doesn't work." β
"Why?" Instructor Owen was puzzled.
"Because, although the brain is damaged, his body is still intact, this, unless he can do a brain transplant." Liang Chu gritted his teeth and said, "But I only know that someone has done this kind of operation, and it has been successful, but it is an example after all." Who did it and what the prognosis is, we don't know. β
"Why, for such a major medical innovation, why is there no detailed registration? And why wouldn't the doctor who did the surgery show up? Instructor Owen continued to ask, "If I knew who he was, I could find a way to get him!" β
Liang Chu shook his head, "No one knows who it is." It's not that he won't show up, but he can't. Because this kind of thing is related to many ethical and legal issues, if it is made public...... You get the idea. β
Instructor Owen was silent, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.
Brain transplantation has always been a major topic related to ethics, law, and morality, and countless scientists have tried to unravel its mystery for hundreds of years, but when it really comes to success, people begin to retreat again - just like cloning, no, even worse than cloning, just discussing the topic of whether the transplanted body should belong to the original owner or the owner of the brain, the entire medical and legal community has never stopped, not to mention a series of other social issues.
Therefore, the first scientist to announce the success of his brain transplant should be nailed to the cross of morality and ethics and be reviled by all generations, right?
"Then let's check this person now, we will definitely be able to find out, okay?" The girl stared at Colonel Owen's face tightly, her face full of stubbornness that refused to give up.
Instructor Owen sighed: "Eighth child, don't be obsessed, think about it, not to mention who this doctor is and where the donor is, even if he is found, the transplant has been successfully completed, but is the second child still the original second child?" Who is he, and will he still know us? β
The girl was immediately dumbfounded, staring blankly at Colonel Owen.
Everyone thought about it carefully and understood, but after understanding, their expressions became even darker.
Looking at the depressed people in this room, Liang Chu smiled reluctantly, "Okay, aren't there three other people to save?" We're in a race against death right now, so there's no time to delay, so get ready! β
Race against death? So what were you doing before? Owen glanced at her, didn't say much, and clapped his hands cooperatively: "Everyone cheer up, everyone is in place!" β
