Chapter 140: Dead Children, a Major Decision
"The child who was in the car accident just now is almost out of breath... The ICU has issued endangered notices four or five times!"
So fast?
Xu Qiu sighed slightly.
This eleven-year-old child is even more miserable than the old professor who received fecal transplant treatment.
After the car accident, when ambulance personnel rushed to the scene, his lower body was crushed by the twisted car, and his abdomen was pierced by the folded hood.
Being able to be sent to the hospital alive is actually a medical miracle.
"Go and have a look." Xu Qiu said.
Yunmei left her lunch box behind and followed her to the ICU.
…
Linhai No. 1 Hospital, Department of Otolaryngology, a patient with a hoarse voice entered the consulting room at the last moment before leaving get off work.
Director Hou, who was consulting, glanced at him and said, "Why didn't you come earlier?"
"I'm sorry, I just arranged for my daughter to be admitted to the obstetrics department, and I came here just after finishing it."
When this middle-aged man in his forties or fifties spoke, his voice was like a broken blower. It sounded hoarse, as if there were a few worms crawling on his skin.
When Director Hou heard this voice, his desire to go home instantly disappeared. He immediately became serious and said, "Sit down, what's going on with your voice?"
The consultation lasted more than five minutes.
The patient's name is Qiu Bo, 51 years old. He developed hoarseness two months ago.
At first I thought it was a cold, so I bought lozenges and other throat medicines and took them on my own, but it didn't improve in half a month, and instead got worse.
So today, while taking his daughter who was about to give birth to the hospital, he checked in at the ear, nose and throat office.
Qiu Bo started smoking at the age of thirteen and was very addicted to cigarettes.
No one else in the family had a similar situation.
During the physical examination, it was found that there was a painless mass of about 3cm on his neck.
After completing the consultation and physical examination, Director Hou sighed softly and said, "Why are you here alone..."
Qiu Bo's face suddenly turned pale.
In the hospital,
The doctor said, "Why are so many people here?" and "Why is there only one person here?" There is a difference between heaven and earth!
Obviously, what he is facing is probably the worst outcome!
Director Hou didn't say much. He quickly made a phone call:
"Please don't get off work yet. There is another patient who needs an urgent laryngoscopy..."
After communicating with them, Director Hou took a deep look at Qiu Bo and said, "Now, hurry up and get laryngoscopy, laryngeal CT and magnetic resonance imaging."
Qiu Bo's whole body was cold, and drops of sweat flowed down his back. He trembled and said: "Doctor, what's wrong with me..."
"Not sure yet."
"Tell me what's the worst possible outcome!"
"Throat cancer."
boom!
These two words were like being struck by a hammer. Qiu Bo's breathing became more and more rapid, and he felt top-heavy.
On the way to the examination, he was floating as he walked.
…
Same as four, here in ICU.
When Xu Qiu arrived, Wang Ping, who was responsible for the rescue, had already arrived.
Beside, there were six or seven doctors wearing isolation gowns and three family members.
At this time, the child's mother was lying on the bedside, covering her mouth with both hands, tears flowing uncontrollably, and she gasped for breath: "Yao'er, wake up... I can't sleep, I can't sleep, what will happen to my mother if you leave? ah!"
On the hospital bed, the child struggled to open his eyes. Eighteen doses of epinephrine were used to rescue him. In the end, he failed to save him, but it gave him the qualification to return to the light of day.
Mumble, murmur, murmur...
In the silent intensive care unit, the boy opened his mouth in pain, as if he wanted to say something.
But the sound is too small.
Mother hurriedly put her ear up.
But, at this moment, the beating electrocardiogram on the monitor suddenly stopped, leaving only a flat straight line.
Didi didi——
The piercing sound of the alarm announces that a heart has stopped and a life has come to an end.
"Ahhh!!"
"Yao'er!"
"God, you are so cruel!"
The ward was instantly filled with desperate wails, and the family members held the little body that was still warm on the hospital bed, sobbing.
A few meters away.
Wang Ping and Xu Qiu looked at each other, and then sighed heavily.
At this point, there is no hope of rescuing the patient, and no one can do anything!
Otherwise, they would not call the family members over to accompany the child through the last journey of his life.
"The child's father hasn't woken up yet. When he wakes up... Oh!"
The doctors all shook their heads, this scene was too cruel.
It was such a peaceful afternoon when the father picked up his child and went home. Along the way, he was still discussing what groceries to buy and buying a bouquet of flowers for his mother as a surprise.
As a result, a drunk-driving car suddenly rushed out from a blind spot and shattered everything good.
At the scene of the car accident, there was also a bouquet of broken blood-red carnations.
"Let's go." Wang Ping said.
Xu Qiu nodded and was ready to leave.
But, at this moment, a crying voice sounded.
The child's mother said: "Doctor, do you think my cub can donate organs? I want them to continue to live..."
The doctors present were stunned.
No one thought that the last request of this mother on the verge of despair was to bring hope to other families!
"On behalf of other patients and family members, I would like to express my highest respect to you..."
At this moment, Wang Ping, Xu Qiu and others bowed slightly and thanked the family.
…
Organs are extremely scarce medical resources everywhere.
Theoretically, any patient has to wait in line for an organ.
In fact, the number of lucky people who can receive an organ transplant is less than one percent...
This is why, everywhere in the world, there are strict laws prohibiting the sale of organs.
Because once the sale is free, the poor will become walking organ culture dishes.
In the intensive care unit.
The haggard mother signed the "Body Donation Form" on behalf of her child with a trembling right hand.
After the hospital announced that the patient was brain dead, the staff of the organ donation office also arrived and immediately conducted an assessment and matching.
The patient was too young and had no underlying diseases, so most of his organs could be used.
The cornea matched a patient in the next city.
It was immediately removed, irrigated, and escorted to the next city hospital for a transplant operation at low temperature.
One of his kidneys was completely broken, and only one side could be used.
The heart and liver were transported to other hospitals in the city, while the lungs and one kidney were left in Linhai First Hospital and given to patients who were hospitalized and in urgent need of transplantation.
In addition, other organs that can be used were also put to use.
At the ENT department.
Qiu Bo was finally diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, and the pyriform sinus cancer involved the post-cricoid area or the posterior wall of the laryngopharynx beyond the midline, and metastasized to one side of the cervical lymph nodes, so a total laryngectomy was necessary.
"My throat is cut off, how am I going to live in the future..." Qiu Bo slapped himself, regretting his desperate smoking.
Director Hou sighed, and at this time the phone rang. He answered the call and his face lit up.
"Qiu Bo, there is a laryngeal donor in the organ transplant office, which can be transplanted to you!"
