The next day.
Medical center.
Ward.
"I heard it was thrilling last night?"
Dr. Burke walked by and took a look at the medical record updated last night.
"Yup."
Danny smiled weakly and said: "My choice is indeed correct. Thanks to Dr. Duncan's several rescues, otherwise I have gone to heaven. Of course I believe in the beauty of heaven, but obviously I don't want to go right now. "
"Good job, Doctor Duncan."
After reading the updated medical records, Dr. Burke expressed affirmation and appreciation for Adam's several rescue records last night.
Changed to any other intern as a bedside doctor, he must have been called directly in his sleep last night.
Only Adam with such strength has the courage to rescue him first, and then consider not calling him.
With such an assistant, Dr. Burke has to admit that sometimes it is nice.
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages.
The last time I was forced to stand by and watch Adam help out was not so pleasant.
"The situation is still not optimistic."
Adam said: "Danny is suffering from acute pulmonary edema. I switched him to congestive heart failure drugs and dual positive airway pressure. The situation temporarily stabilized, but he needs a new heart, and he needs it as soon as possible. "
"New heart."
Danny said weakly: "I've been waiting for a year and a half, and I have gone wrong several times. How long can I wait this time?"
"It's very short, and you can't expect small-probability events."
Adam suggested: "I suggest installing a left ventricular assist device, which is a battery-operated machine that can assist heart activity and help you gain two more years."
"Yes it is."
Dr. Burke nodded: "Dr. Duncan is right. We can't pin our hopes on a small probability event. No one knows when the new heart you need will appear, so you need more time to wait."
Organ transplantation is very particular about relationship and luck.
Relationship, it goes without saying.
Dr. House next door often snatches organ transplants that should belong to someone else.
That's because the female dean is his admirer, and his successful experience every time he opens the hanger also allows him to have enough face to face, so that the female dean can use the relationship for him to grab transplant organs.
But Danny clearly has no such relationship.
Although he should be wealthy, he is only at the level of a multi-millionaire, and definitely not at the level of a billionaire.
Otherwise, he would not wait for a year and a half for the new heart.
Really rich people must spend money or find a relationship with a new heart that suits them as soon as possible. How can they be foolishly waiting for death?
As for Adam, the bedside doctor, he naturally has the ability to help Danny.
But unfortunately not to that point.
A life span of +0.01 can be obtained by rescuing any patient in the emergency department. Adam will not fight so hard for a Danny, which is time-consuming, energy-consuming, and costly.
In theory, this is also unethical and illegal.
Danny is just an ordinary patient, and he is not his own person in his heart, and he is not worth so much.
then.
Danny can only look forward to luck now.
However, a small probability event such as luck requires enough time to accumulate to increase the probability.
"Battery operation?"
Danny said humorously: "I knew you wanted to turn me into a robot. This is one of your evil plans to usurp the hospital, right?"
"Ha ha."
Dr. Burke agreed with a smile.
"Do not."
Adam smiled and said, "You should be more optimistic. Just think about it. Isn't your situation very similar to the situation of Iron Man Tony Stark?
All batteries drive the heart.
But this is only a turning point in your life.
Your life may become more exciting.
And what you have more advantage than him is that you don't need to fight life and death, complete the transformation in fear, and get out of the control of the battery.
Today, or tomorrow, when you wake up, you may be able to get good news, a new heart, and a new life.
All you need to do now is to buy yourself more time. "
"Oh, that's great."
Danny smiled and said: "Although I don't know who this guy Iron Man is, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Duncan, but what kind of battery is installed to turn yourself into a robot without any risk?"
At this time, the Iron Man live-action movie has not yet come out. In Marvel Comics, Iron Man is only a second-line hero. In fact, not many people know it.
But just like Chinese characters often do not need to be sorted correctly, so that people can understand them.
Danny understood what Adam meant.
"Of course there is a certain risk."
Dr. Burke explained: "It will increase the damage to platelets, and the bleeding will also increase. If you choose to install this assistive device, you need to wait until a new heart is transplanted before you can leave the hospital, so that it is convenient for rescue at any time."
"Is there any other choice?"
Danny smiled bitterly.
"No."
Adam shook his head: "If there is gain, there is loss. Nothing is perfect. At this moment, the most important thing is to survive.
And staying in the hospital is not as boring as you think.
Our interns spend almost every day in the hospital, so much so that the hospital must issue mandatory regulations not to allow us to stay in the hospital forever and to drive us out of the hospital.
The key is to have a direction.
Taking advantage of this period of hospitalization, you can find something suitable for you to do.
As long as you invest in it, time will pass soon.
Professor Hawking got Parkinson, sitting in a wheelchair, without any hope of recovery, speeches and Q&A can only be done through a speech synthesizer, otherwise it will not hinder his will to travel the stars through time and space, becoming an idol for many people, It's delicious.
Sickness can only trap one's body, not one's consciousness.
Not to mention that you still have hope of recovery. Maybe when you achieve your established goals, your new heart will also come ~ www.novelhall.com~ Double happiness is coming. Isn't such a future worth looking forward to? "
"How can I compare with Professor Hawking."
Danny laughed at himself first, then looked at Adam: "But you are right, Dr. Duncan, this kind of double happiness is indeed worth looking forward to. Just before making a decision, can I see Liz first?"
"why?"
Before Dr. Burke nodded, Adam asked directly.
"Because I want to meet her, so I have more hope and motivation to live..."
Danny was taken aback.
"I don't recommend you to do this."
Adam shook his head: "Is your courage to persevere just for a woman who fell in love at first sight?
This is not enough!
After this kind of surgery, it may take a day, or it may be a year or two to see hope.
After waiting for such a long time, do you only count on the relationship of love at first sight?
We all know that feelings, especially love at first sight, are entirely hormonal at work.
But your body simply doesn't allow it.
Now you place your hope and motivation on this kind of relationship. Over time, you will be very painful and unable to persist.
Because a strong man is trapped in a weak body and can only watch and cannot move, it is definitely a terrible torture.
So when you decide to kill your waiting time at the beginning, you should abandon hormones and focus on higher-level spiritual pursuits.
Only in this way can we get through these arduous waiting times with peace of mind.
Rest assured, you can do it.
If you are single for a long time, your hormones will be dull. You haven't seen many people who stay in love or get married for a lifetime.
This is the same as the science.
We have to believe in science. "
Danny: "..."
Dr. Burke: "..."
