Wedge Chapter 1 Brain Death
The rescue room was crowded with people of compassion and lamentation.
From their clothes and expressions, it can be seen that this is a group of people who are struggling on the line of life.
From time to time, their griefful and somewhat complicated eyes converged on a middle-aged woman with a sad face and a desperate expression.
"Time waits for no one, otherwise people and money will be empty!" Dr. Sun said with a stiff expression as he stood at the door of the emergency room, already a little impatient.
"How many times have I said it, it's brain dead! There is no chance of treatment. Besides, your family already owes more than 30,000 yuan in medical expenses......"
"Yes...... But he's still alive, isn't there still a heartbeat? in a coma, or at worst, in a vegetative state...... There is still a chance to recover. As long as life can be sustained, isn't there hope?"
The middle-aged woman's red and swollen eyes still had a hint of hope, and it was obvious that she had suffered from polio.
"How many times have I said that this child is not in a vegetative state, not in a coma, but brain dead! The EEG of a vegetative person fluctuates, and his EEG has long been in a straight line, which means that he is dead. As soon as the ventilator was removed, his vital features would disappear immediately. Besides, can your family afford to maintain vital signs?!"
Dr. Sun paused, his tone softened a little, and he said with a sincere look on his face:
"Your family has already spent a lot of medical expenses, and now they owe more than 30,000 yuan. Look at these instruments, tubes, and hanging needles, they are all burning money. It's not easy to look at your family's financial situation! I heard that your family can't borrow money anymore,...... It's a bottomless pit!"
He changed his tone and continued:
"Now, someone is willing to pay for this child's kidney, which is a blessing in misfortune! Not only can the borrowed account be repaid, but there is also a balance, so why not?...... If you think about it, emotion doesn't work. If it was not decided, and the medical expenses could not be compensated, the hospital had to remove the tube and remove the ventilator...... When the time comes, there will be nothing, and you will have to pay the outstanding medical bills!"
"Doctor, think of a way to save this guy's life...... Her family is too pitiful, and her son Abba is a stilted child. If this guy is lost, how will people live?!...... This guy is very smart and pretty ......"
"We've done our best. The dean and the experts will consult several times, but there is no way! No one can go back?!" Dr. Sun said, glancing at several women next to him who were talking nonsense.
"Mother Ningkemu, how is this good? Otherwise, just ...... Just listen to the doctor?"
"Alas, Lao Ning's family, it's really unfortunate! What else can it do? What the doctor said makes sense! Otherwise, how will you and your son Abba live in the future...... Alas, I wonder if Uncle Ning Ke has raised money?"
"Didn't the doctor say that even if you have money, you can't be saved?"
The middle-aged woman showed a stubborn expression in front of everyone, and snorted: "His father said that the child is fine......
"Hey, do you believe this, if he really knows how to tell fortunes, can your family live like this?......
There was another round of discussion......
Not far away, an old man leaning against the wall of the corridor with a shabby cane in his hand, listened to everyone's discussions, slightly opened his chapped lips, as if he wanted to say something, but after all, he still didn't speak.
His bronzed, angular face had gray eyes and a look of grief.
The old man is fifty-six years old, but he looks older than he really is. His gray hair was disproportionate to his age, and he still stood like a hedgehog, as if he was fighting against the fate of his fate.
Doctor Sun walked up to the old man: "You are Ning Ke's father?...... You persuade the child's mother, otherwise, it will really be empty of people and money. β
The old man's dim gaze revealed a hint of obsession: "The medical expenses are enough, can you save the living?"
"Can't ......"
"What if you hire the best doctors in the country?"
Dr. Sun shook his head, "Immortals can't do itβ" He walked away.
In the doctor's office, several young men and women were surrounding a middle-aged doctor with a solemn expression, their faces full of heavy and complicated expressions.
Dr. Sun entered the door and said to everyone:
"Whether medically or legally, brain death is death, and there is no moral or ethical problem. Does it make sense to leave a whole corpse for a child?!...... If we die accidentally, we won't have a whole corpse. Oh...... It seems that only Dr. Xiao Li in our department has not signed an agreement for organ donation. β
The young doctor, who looked like a little girl, was not happy: "Who said that? Dr. Sun, you have underestimated my consciousness and character......"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I misunderstood, your character is very high......" Dr. Sun looked at Dr. Xiao Li and smiled apologetically, turned his face to look at the middle-aged doctor, and said with a resolute expression on his face, "I ...... , I really can't do it, so I'll just take out the kidney......"
"No!" the middle-aged doctor interrupted with a gloomy face.
"I'll take on the responsibility...... Alas, Xiao Li, you go and call Doctor Ma. β
"No, it's even harder for her to come...... Notify the accounting office and ask for the bills. β
"I said Director Shan...... How many times have they been urged?! They are more anxious than us. This child's mother is a dead eye, and his father is a fish and wood pimple......"
With a solemn expression, Dr. Sun continued to the middle-aged doctor:
"Director Shan, this is an opportunity! After this village, there will be no such shop. How long has your little Ai Ai waited for the kidney? It started at the age of more than two years, and it is still six years old. Moreover, the child's kidney is a perfect match for Ai Ai! This is providential...... God is merciful, your husband and wife have adopted Ai Ai and moved the sky. If it is delayed any longer, the child's kidneys may fail, and the child may not be able to use it. β
The middle-aged doctor's brows were always furrowed, and he subconsciously bit his lip and went in the direction of the emergency room......
Dean Wu Jie stood at the door of his hospital and waited a little anxiously.
Although it was the transition of spring and summer, and the temperature was suitable, he felt hot sweat.
From the moment he received a call from the Provincial Health Department, he rushed to the door of the hospital. I have been in the industry for many years, and this is the first time that I have waited for the patient's family at the entrance of the hospital for the sake of the patient.
He sometimes looked at the pedestrians and vehicles passing in front of the door, and sometimes looked at the hands of his watch, but he did not dare to call to ask when the visitor would arrive.
An hour later, a military SUV drove up at a rapid pace, and an emergency stop stopped beside him.
The four men who appeared to be extraordinary at first glance got out of the car, and it was obvious that they were looking at the head of a man who was nearly fifty years old.
This person exudes a strong aura unique to a superior person.
Dean Wu Jie's eyes couldn't help but fall on this person.
"This is the ...... of President Wu Jie of Linqi First Hospital"
Stretching out his hand and pointing at his middle-aged man, Wu Jie seemed to have seen it, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
The middle-aged man didn't care about Wu Jie, who was still stunned, and didn't shake hands with Wu Jie politely, but just introduced him: "This is General Ning Xuan." You must know the names of these two people, Academician Gu Zhixin and Dean Yuan Liren......"
"Oh, Academician Gu, I know--the authority of neurosurgery in Beijing 118 Hospital!Yuan Liren?Ah, isn't it Doctor Yuan Shen, who is currently the dean of Huaxia University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from a family of traditional Chinese medicine in Beijing?!"
Dean Wu looked at Gu Zhixin, and then at Yuan Liren in Tang costume, and the pupils of his eyes dilated to burst into light.
One is a titan in the medical field, and the other is a legendary giant in the Chinese medicine industry!
"Secretary-General Li. Hurry up......" The person who was called General Ning spoke.
Dean Wu Jie remembered at this time that this "Secretary General Li" was the current Secretary General of the Municipal Party Committee of Qiantang City.
Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The people are in the rescue room, we have tried our best...... Of course, it's not the same when you come. The child was hit by a farm tricycle, but the injuries were a little strange, there were no obvious injuries on his body, only some minor injuries to the head. It shouldn't be that serious, but judging from the electroencephalogram, he is already brain dead. β
Secretary-General Li did not speak again, glanced at the cautious Dean Wu, and motioned for him to lead the way.
Suddenly, there were a few more people in the corridor who looked unusual, and the noise seemed to be frozen, and it suddenly fell silent.
Several doctors and nurses hurriedly stepped forward to get close to Dean Wu.
"Oh, Director Shan and Dr. Ma are also ......" Dean Wu nodded, muttering a sentence in his mouth, which was regarded as a greeting to the doctors.
Some of the medical staff present recognized two well-known figures in the medical field and were very surprised!
Judging from the patient's family situation, they couldn't understand how his family could invite such two national treasure-level medical experts?!
Gu and Yuan asked Dean Wu for a white coat to put on, and walked into the rescue room.
The medical staff behind him were talking excitedly.
"This kid has a big life, Gu Zhixin actually came to see him!"
"Yes, even Doctor Yuan of the family of traditional Chinese medicine is here. What a lot of face?!"
General Ning Xuan saw the old man leaning against the wall with a crutch at a glance, and walked over.
His eyes showed a look of disdain, as if he had seen the most disgusted person in his life.
Fortunately, everyone's attention is not here at this time, otherwise, what he said below would have made the observers embarrassed.
"You're the one - three, third uncle, Ning Ji?...... How did you get mixed up like this?!
"I thought you were an extraordinary and ruthless character, but you were a complete deflated old beggar! Still lame and lame! No wonder the old ancestor wanted to drive you out of the Ning family!
"I heard that you are good at feng shui, you know your fate, and you can pinch and calculate, why don't you change your life for yourself......"
The old man endured it at first, but when General Ning Xuan said words such as "looking at feng shui" and "fortune telling", his face changed suddenly, his eyes showed a cold light, and he raised his crutches to aim at the chattering general......
