When cancer reaches its terminal stage, any part of the patient's body may be at risk at any time, and then endanger life.
Because the entire body system is like a building block that is constantly piled up, it is already on the verge of collapse and may fall down at any time.
What's more, Smith's son was only twelve years old, and his body had been overdrawn to the extreme during his years of fighting cancer.
In addition, the tumor in his brain became bigger and his vision and hearing were affected, his emotions were very intense. The doctor also injected him with sedatives, all of which were accelerating his withering.
Smith looked at his son on the hospital bed through the window, and he was completely desperate.
He knew that he had worked hard for so many years but he still failed.
At this moment, a doctor walked up to him, and said with some respect and some sympathy: "Mr. Smith, Jimmy's condition is really bad. I'm afraid he won't survive tonight. Look
Do we still need to prepare rescue measures?”
Since Smith is a senior executive of FDA and is in charge of drug review, he has very strong connections in the medical system across the United States.
Therefore, he can continuously use the world's most cutting-edge anti-cancer technology on his son.
It is precisely because of this that the doctors in the hospital attach great importance to his son.
At present, the doctor also knows that his son has no chance to survive, but given Smith's strong belief, he still wants to ask Smith for advice and see if he wants to make the final rescue of his son.
.
No matter what identity or background a person is, once he becomes a critically ill patient, he will be without dignity. Not only will he be without dignity, but he may also have to bear the strongest pain in the world.
Many rescue methods are very harmful to the body. For example, when a cardiac arrest is incurred, powerful cardiac resuscitation may break the patient's ribs; defibrillation may also cause skin burns; when breathing is difficult, doctors even need to treat the patient.
The trachea is intubated, and even the whole body is filled with tubes, and then the patient is given various external circulation equipment.
Some patients have the opportunity to regain their lives after this series of rescues, but end-stage patients with cancer may have experienced such a large number of rescues, which may only allow their lives to persist without dignity for a few days.
The hospital where Smith's son is located is called Mayo Clinic. It is the best oncology hospital in the entire United States and even the world. The Washington campus is the latest and most cutting-edge one that they just opened this year and have invested huge financial resources and material resources to create.
diagnosis and treatment center.
The doctors here have extremely rich rescue experience, which almost represents the current peak level of medical treatment of cancer and is very famous all over the world.
Medical institutions around the world have very high evaluations of Mayo. All kinds of rumors can be summarized into one sentence: Who will the King of Hell die in the third update, and Mayo will keep him until the fifth update.
Therefore, Mayo's doctors are also confident that through rescue efforts at all costs, Smith's son will live for a few more days.
However, all this depends on Smith's wishes.
After all, in the doctor's opinion, this child has experienced too much pain. At this time, there is no need to let him continue to suffer a hellish torture before leaving.
Smith's eyes were red at this time, and tears as big as beans were flowing down.
He hesitated for a while, sighed and said, "Forget it... let him spend the last time quietly... I don't want him to suffer any more..."
The doctor nodded with a heavy face and said, "Mr. Smith, you made an extremely correct decision. I believe Jimmy will thank you for this."
Smith asked even more, "Can he wake up?"
The doctor said: "The sedative medicine we injected him was very small. If nothing unexpected happens, he should wake up in another hour. Your family can go in and spend more time with him."
Smith nodded with red eyes, the doctor patted his shoulder and comforted him, "You can go in now, and I won't bother you here anymore. If you have any questions, just click the call bell, and I will come here as soon as possible."
"good……"
The doctor left, and ICU, which originally had very high requirements for the sterile environment, no longer required any restrictions, which means that the patients in the ward had begun to let the flow.
Smith took his wife and daughter into the ward. The son on the bed was still unconscious, but it could be seen that his condition was already very poor, and he was not bloody at all, pale and thin.
Smith's wife was a little out of control and she cried and spread her way to the edge of the hospital bed. She held her son's hand hard and swallowed: "Jimmy, promise mom, you must be well, mom can't live without you..."
Smith quietly wiped his tears and swallowed even more: "Jenny, we are losing Jimmy, you have to accept this reality..."
"No..." Jenny Smith shook his head and said, "I don't accept it! No one wants to take my son away from me, even God can do it!"
Smith said helplessly: "Jenny, we have used all the methods we can use in this world... What better solution can you find if you don't accept it?"
Jenny seemed a little crazy and blurted out: "My good friend knows a psychic! That psychic lives in Arizona. It is said that she is not only psychic, but also proficient in some kind of gods in Mexico. I will invite her here now.
!”
As he said that, Jenny immediately took out her cell phone.
Smith hurriedly stopped her and said, "You are a top student who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. How could you believe in something like a psychic that has no scientific basis at all?!"
Jenny asked him: "Then say! What should I believe in?"
Smith blurted out without hesitation: "Of course I believe in modern medicine!"
Jenny pointed to her son on the hospital bed and asked crying, "Jimmy is almost dead! Tell me, how can modern medicine save him? How can I save him!"
Smith covered his face, took a deep breath, and said, "If it weren't for modern medicine, Jimmy might have been gone three years ago. Now the cancer cells in his body are covered with his body. No matter how good the medical technology is, it is impossible to save it.
He is my son, and I hope miracles can happen, but we still have to be more realistic, otherwise you may not be able to get out of this life..."
Jenny shouted like crazy: "I don't care!! I don't care about anything now! I just want my son to live! So I can't stay here and watch him die! We have to do something! If you
If you don’t do it, don’t stop me!”
As he said that, Jenny remembered something and said, "I heard that there is a Chinese medicine doctor in Chinatown that is very good. I will ask for a contact information now!"
Smith suddenly remembered the box of medicine Wei Liang gave him, and subconsciously said: "Someone just gave me a box of Chinese patent medicine. If it really doesn't work, try it. If this Chinese patent medicine does not work, there is no need for you to invite anything.
Traditional Chinese medicine.”
Jenny hurriedly asked, "Where is the medicine?! Take it and give Jimmy a try!"
Smith said: "In the car, I'll go and pick it up now."
