It is precisely because of its many advantages that this intelligent bionic artificial heart has become the most perfect heart substitute currently created by humans, and it also gives hope to patients who are dying of heart disease.
The country is a pastoral-style manor on the outskirts of Bari. But from the outside, no one would have imagined that this is the best hospital, or medical institution, in Europe.
This is not a hospital in the traditional sense, but more like a medical research institute. In addition to studying some diseases, it also takes into account related treatments. Therefore, this medical school is not open to the general public, it is only open to the rich and aristocratic class.
, and give priority to those funders.
In a very special and luxurious ward located in the ward of the medical school in this manor, a pale blond patient was leaning on the bed and looking at the scenery outside the window.
Who would have thought that the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed at this moment is actually a famous rich man in the entire country. His family company involves many fields, such as red wine, clothing, cosmetics, luxury goods, and other traditional industries of the country.
Involving automobile, hotel, and aviation fields.
Originally in the prime of life, he should be working hard to push his family's business to a higher level, but the heart disease inherited from his family has made his life full of anxiety. Since he had a heart disease in his twenties, his health has been poor.
, he underwent more than a dozen large and small operations in a row, the biggest of which was the heart transplant he completed six years ago, successfully transplanting the heart of a young sailor who died in a traffic accident.
After the heart transplant, his body recovered for several years. Although it was not comparable to that of a healthy normal person, he could still live a normal life. He originally thought that the heart from the crew could buy him more than ten years, but it didn't happen.
I thought something would go wrong in the sixth year.
Perhaps because of the crewman's heart transplant, he actually fell in love with the sea after the heart transplant surgery, which also led him to go on vacation to the Mediterranean beaches in the southern part of the country every few months.
He was originally worried about something, but he accidentally drowned while swimming and choked a few mouthfuls in the seawater, which subsequently led to a lung infection. He was immediately transferred to the hospital for treatment.
After timely treatment by the doctor, the lung infection was under control, but there was a heart problem. Although he received adequate treatment and intervention, the heart problem became more serious, and he was immediately transferred to the forefront of this European hospital.
Further treatment is conducted within several medical research institutions.
After being transferred here and undergoing three surgeries, his condition did not improve, but became more serious. Because his condition had already undergone a heart transplant before, the possibility of another heart transplant was very small and the risk was huge.
What's more, in Europe, hearts are in short supply. There are many patients waiting for heart transplants, and he will not get much priority just because he is rich. What's more, he has already undergone a heart transplant.
Patients, in principle, are not considered.
Although he and his family have used a lot of resources, the results are not ideal. The medical experts in charge of him clearly told him that the chance of him receiving a second heart transplant is very small. Even if there is a suitable heart source, it may not be possible.
The transplant was successful.
The opinions given to him by the experts were very vague, but as an excellent businessman who has been in the business for decades, he still felt the implications of the experts' opinions.
If you do not perform a second heart transplant, you may be able to live longer. If you risk a second heart transplant, you may not be able to get off the operating table or leave the ICU.
Faced with the vague warnings from the experts, he was afraid. If it were six years ago, he would definitely choose to take the risk, but now he has chickened out. There are many reasons. He is afraid that if he fails to wake up, what will happen to the huge man behind him?
The family is likely to fall apart.
Because so far, he has not found a qualified heir who satisfies him. Although there are a few, he is actually not very satisfied and not at ease.
Therefore, he retreated and hoped to use the last few moments of his life to cultivate a qualified heir for himself and his family.
After careful and repeated consideration, he finally chose his 24-year-old daughter to be the future heir of the family. Although this decision was opposed by many people, including other heirs, under his insistence, her
His daughter, who had just completed a master's degree in economics from Yingguo, came back to take over his business. Under his guidance, she was doing well, which made him somewhat gratified.
Now he finally felt a little relieved and began to wait quietly for death to come.
Looking at the scenery outside, he couldn't help but think of the many happy, painful, and unforgettable times in his youth. This is something that people will experience in their final lives, that is, recalling their own memories.
In one sentence, summarize your life.
Ta-ta-ta-ta... With the sound of high heels, a group of people walked in quickly from outside. The leader was his heir, the young daughter, his two underage sons, and his third son.
Three wives.
dad!
Durand!
Everyone excitedly greeted him lying on the bed.
After waking up from his memories, Durand looked at his family and immediately smiled: "You are here."
Dad! The daughter in charge, who was wearing professional attire, looked at her weak father lying on the hospital bed and was so excited that she could not speak.
Irena, you are my heir now, so you should be stronger. Besides, I am not dead yet. Durand gave instructions, and then joked with a smile. His tone was very relaxed. On the one hand, he wanted to reassure his family.
Sad, on the other hand, he has seen through life and death and faced it calmly.
No, dad, there is great news. Irena shook her head repeatedly and said excitedly to her father who was lying on the bed.
Good news, the company's stock price has risen? Durand smiled and said: "Baby, I know you can do it."
Because of Durand's critical illness and the fact that his only 24-year-old daughter took over the entire huge company, the outside world was generally not optimistic about it. In addition, investors were worried, so their company's stock price fell sharply.
Durand has been concerned about this matter, so when he heard his daughter's words, his first reaction was that the company's stock price had risen, which made him feel relieved.
No, Durand, my dear, there is hope for you, you can live, do you understand what I mean, there is hope for your illness. His third wife next to him threw herself in front of him and said excitedly to him.
There is hope, can we live?
Durand's eyes opened wide, his body couldn't help but tremble, and then a look of pain appeared on his face.
Doctor, doctor! The daughter and wife at the bedside saw his appearance and called out in panic.
