Chapter 7: Father's Love
Six o'clock in the morning.
Rescue room.
In the rescue room at this moment, the old man is lying quietly on the rescue bed, this will, gastric lavage has been completed, dialysis has also been used, and antidote drugs are used through intravenous infusion.
Under these treatment measures, the old man slowly regained consciousness and woke up for a short time.
The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Sheng standing by the bedside, knowing that he was in the hospital at this time, he suddenly sighed imperceptibly, as if he was very reluctant to wake up again.
"Doctor Zhao, the results of the blood gas analysis are out."
At this time, Song Wei came in with a list of blood gas analysis and said to Zhao Sheng.
"Hmm."
Zhao Sheng nodded, took the blood gas analysis report, and looked at it seriously.
[Blood gas analysis: pH 7.08, carbon dioxide partial pressure 26.2 mm Hg, oxygen partial pressure 106, oxygen saturation 98, sodium 143, potassium 4.2, calcium 1.10, chlorine 111, lactate 18.81 mmol/L, carbonate 7.68, alkali residual minus 22.4, anion gap 30]
Seeing this blood gas analysis report, especially the lactic acid as high as 18.81mmol/L, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Lactic acid is an organic compound, mainly derived from red blood cells and muscles, which can reflect the biochemical indicators of anaerobic metabolism and circulatory disorders of the body, generally speaking, the normal value of lactate is 0.5-1.7mmol/L.
The lactic acid of 18.81mmol/L indicates that the old man in front of him has entered a dying state of exhaustion, that is to say, the life of the old man in front of him may be less than 24 hours.
It's hard to save the gods!
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Modern medicine is indeed well developed, but it is far from being able to bring the dead back to life.
"I'll go out, you can keep an eye on the situation here."
Zhao Sheng said to Song Wei.
"Okay."
Song Wei also nodded, in the emergency department, such a scene can be seen every day.
So far, there is no professional hospice nurse in China, so this hospice care and the work of comforting the family are generally done by the attending doctor.
Soon, Zhao Sheng took the blood gas analysis checklist and went out of the rescue room.
As soon as he came out, the old man's three children gathered around.
"Doctor, how's my dad?"
The eldest brother asked Zhao Sheng, he is also sixty years old, and he is also a grandfather.
Originally, the old man was already a grandfather, four generations in the same house, and he could enjoy the joy of family, but he died of medicine like this, which makes people feel very sorry when they think about it.
"You have to be mentally prepared, the situation is not very optimistic."
Zhao Sheng shook his head slightly and said.
As an emergency doctor, Zhao Sheng prefers to tell patients and their families good news rather than bad news.
"Doctor, how long will my dad have?"
The eldest brother asked again, he is always older, and for now, he is still relatively calm.
"Soon, no more than twenty-four hours at most."
Zhao Sheng said with some regret.
People are inherently dead, and when they are over 80 years old, in fact, many people are ready to face death, but the old man chooses to take medicine as a way of death, which seems to be a choice of self-liberation, but at a deeper level, it is not a silent and very strong struggle!
"Dad!!"
Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, the second sister couldn't hold back anymore and cried, just now she only cared about reprimanding and condemning her younger brother, but the old father was really leaving, and she felt really sad at this time.
"Doctor, can we take the man away?"
The younger brother's expression is very complicated, there are regrets, relief, sadness, and more, a feeling of losing dependence.
has spoiled him since he was a child, protected him, and gave everything to his old father, but he took medicine at his house, which is undoubtedly a huge irony for him, who has been the most favored since he was a child.
"Do you want to be cured again?"
Hearing this, the eldest brother's tense expression relaxed, and he asked tentatively.
Although the results are already very obvious.
"It's also a crime in the hospital, so let's go back, and let my dad go at home."
The second sister said while wiping her tears.
"Doctor, can we go in now?"
The younger brother asked Zhao Sheng.
By this time, he realized that he had a lot to say to his old father, although it was too late.
Zhao Sheng didn't say anything, let go of the body, and the three of them entered the rescue room.
In the rescue room, although the old man was still very weak, he had already woken up, he opened his eyes, looked at the three children who came in, and immediately turned his head to the side, as if he was very reluctant to see the appearance of the three children, and after a while, he stared at the younger son with hateful and loving eyes.
"Dad, why are you so confused, why did you take medicine!"
Seeing the frail and dying old father, the second sister couldn't hold back any longer, and cried on the side of the bed.
In the eyes of the second sister, the old father was old and confused after taking medicine.
"I... I don't.. Confused. ”
Hearing his daughter's words, the old man said weakly and laboriously.
He had already thought very clearly, so he put on the shroud that he had prepared a long time ago, then bought the paper goods, burned the paper while taking medicine, and then waited quietly for death.
He did this to die with dignity!
People are old and useless, and they are kicked around like a ball by their children.
"Back. Return.. Family! ”
The old man said with great difficulty.
"Okay, let's go home, go home."
The second sister wiped a handful of tears, took the old man's hand, nodded firmly, and said.
To everyone's surprise, the old man struggled to shake off the second sister's hand, pointed at the youngest son with his finger, and said weakly: "Country. . . Country.. Guowei, go home. ”
As soon as the old man's words came out, everyone was shocked, especially the youngest son, who had been tense before, couldn't hold back anymore at this moment, knelt down, and instantly burst into tears, crying loudly: "Dad!" ”
"Dad, if you don't go back to his house, he forced you to take medicine!"
The second sister grabbed the old father's hand and was thrown away, she was also stunned, and her emotions of not understanding reached the peak all of a sudden, and she couldn't care about anything, so she blurted out.
"No. It's not, forced, dead. Dead in. Guowei family. ”
Hearing his daughter's serious accusation against his youngest son, the old man shook his head and explained with great difficulty.
As soon as the old man's words came out, Zhao Sheng instantly understood the cause and effect.
The old man doesn't want to live anymore, so he wants to die at his favorite youngest son's house and die by his younger son's side, in other words, he is afraid that when he dies, his younger son is not around, so he chooses to take medicine at his youngest son's house.
It's not at all what everyone thought before, it was the younger son who abused him and forced him to take medicine.
"Dad! I was wrong! I'm a brute, I'm not angry!! ”
Hearing the old father's words, the youngest son's emotions exploded all of a sudden, tears and snot were mixed together, and he slapped his mouth hard while crying and saying.
