After the operation, Lin Lei, who was pushed out of the operating room, could clearly see that the quilt on his left leg had collapsed.
This made Mother Lin and Lin Wei, who had been waiting, very sad. They tried to pounce on them several times, but were held back by the people next to them.
Everyone escorted Lin Lei until they stopped in front of the intensive care unit. Lin Lei still needed to stay in the intensive care unit for a while. As for when he could be released, it would depend on his recovery.
However, from the current point of view, this process is obviously long.
Naturally, Director Tong and other experts cannot stay here forever, and they have all returned to their respective hospitals. As for Lin Lei, the medical research center is temporarily in charge. They are also very experienced in the treatment and care of critically ill patients.
I'm experienced, so don't worry about this.
Although Lin Lei's incident has a great impact on the Lin family and Wu Hao, life still has to go on. So Lin's father, Lin Honghan, has asked all his relatives and friends to go back, including his closest uncle Lin Wei and the others.
As for Wu Hao and Lin Wei, they were also rushed to work. Only Lin Honghan and Lin's mother stayed. They put down all the work at hand and concentrated on accompanying their son in the hospital.
Although Wu Hao and Lin Wei were also worried, when they returned to the company, they could only put aside this matter temporarily and devote themselves to complicated work.
Of course, they would rush to the hospital after get off work or whenever they had time. On the one hand, they would visit and accompany Lin's father and mother, and on the other hand, they would naturally care about Lin Lei's condition.
A week after Lin Lei's amputation surgery, exciting news finally came from the intensive care unit. Lin Lei, who had been in a coma, actually woke up.
Everyone was excited. After receiving the news, Wu Hao also rushed to the hospital with Lin Wei.
Parents, how is Xiaolei doing now? As soon as she saw the two of them, Lin Wei couldn't wait to ask.
Before Lin Honghan could speak, the excited mother Lin on the side spoke excitedly: "The doctor in the intensive care unit informed us about an hour ago that Xiaolei woke up, but he is still very weak now. The doctors are working on it.
He will conduct an examination and the results should be available soon."
It's really great! Lin Wei immediately cheered excitedly, and the gloom that had been weighing on everyone's heads before was swept away.
However, in Wu Hao's view, waking up is indeed a happy thing, but this does not mean that Lin Lei has turned the corner, because the results of the examination are not known yet. Moreover, Lin Lei will undergo a series of surgeries later.
, whether it can survive it is still unknown.
Thinking of this, Wu Hao couldn't help but look at his father-in-law Lin Honghan. After feeling his gaze, Lin Honghan also nodded towards him, with a hint of relief in his expression, but he was not as happy as Lin's mother and Lin Wei.
, but the performance is somewhat convergent.
At this moment, I saw several fully armed doctors in the intensive care unit walking out, taking off their protective clothing and masks.
Director Chen, how is Xiaolei? Mother Lin asked the middle-aged male doctor in his forties wearing glasses.
Director Chen heard Mother Lin's words. He first nodded to Wu Hao and said hello, and then nodded to several people and replied: "The patient is indeed awake, relatively conscious, and can understand his name.
What are the names of his parents? This can prove that his brain has not been too damaged. But this is only the preliminary stage, because we will need to conduct further examinations to clarify the results.
As you all know, the human brain is very complex and is the functional control center of the human body. Therefore, we are not yet sure whether his brain injury has affected the functions of various parts of the human body. This needs further examination.
One thing you should pay attention to is that the patient's brain was severely impacted, resulting in a relatively strong concussion, so some short-term amnesia or partial amnesia may occur."
Partial amnesia?
Director Chen, is this serious? Mother Lin quickly asked.
Director Chen shook his head slightly: "It's not clear yet, the patient is still relatively weak, and we have no way to conduct evaluation and examination.
The so-called short-term amnesia means that he may forget the memory of the period before the injury, such as how he got into the car accident, why he went to that place, and the memory of one or two to one or two weeks before the accident.
This is actually a protective mechanism of the human brain, so it’s not a big problem and you will recover slowly. Of course, it doesn’t matter even if you can’t remember it. Anyway, the memory only lasts a few weeks and it won’t have much impact on your life.
Impact.
As for partial amnesia, this is relatively serious."
At this point, Director Chen paused for a moment and gave everyone a mental preparation time before continuing: "Our human memories are stored in the hippocampus area of the brain. The previous car accident caused severe concussion in the patient's brain. Maybe
It will cause some damage or shock to the hippocampus where memory is stored, causing damage to some cells and nerve tissue that stores memory, so this part of the damaged memory cannot be recalled. This is what we call partial amnesia.
This is actually a metaphor for a disk, which stores a large amount of data information. When a scratch occurs on one place on the disk, it will not affect the use of the entire disk, but it will affect the data stored in the scratched location.
Data, resulting in this part of the data being missing, damaged, or simply unable to be read."
Director Chen, what should we do now? After hearing the introduction, Mother Lin quickly asked anxiously.
As for Director Chen, he shook his head: "The scratched and damaged areas on the disk are difficult to repair, and the memory in the brain is also difficult to repair. The specific results will have to wait until the patient's physical condition improves.
Able to conduct inspections, evaluations and judgments.
Of course, this is just our current judgment, and it is not that accurate. Maybe after the patient's body recovers, this part of the real memory can be restored. Or maybe our judgment is wrong, and the patient does not have amnesia at all."
After comforting Mother and Father Lin, Director Chen continued: "Of course, even if partial amnesia occurs, there is no need to be too afraid. We can completely help them recover slowly through training and recovery.
memory.
If the recovery effect is not good, then we can also let him learn a second time based on part of his missing memory, so as to master this part of the lost memory content.
For example, some people forget a language, some people forget to read, some people forget to wear clothes, forget to drive, etc. We can re-master these through secondary learning, and they will not have a big impact on life.
