It can be said that in pediatrics, the prognosis of this disease is very poor. No wonder Brother Shenxian has to focus on this patient.
The academic words spoken by doctors are probably only half-understood by family members. But if the doctor makes it clear, the family members will definitely understand.
What Zhu Xing's mother heard was that her son was about to die and needed to be saved. Without medicine, surgery could not be performed unless a new heart was provided to extend her son's life.
Where will her son's new heart be found?
Cao Zhaodao: "We will report his current situation as soon as possible to the colleagues in our hospital who are responsible for contacting organ donation agencies, so that they will notify us once there is news about a donor, and put him first in line for transplantation as much as possible."
"Isn't it difficult to wait?" Zhu Xing's mother asked the doctor tremblingly.
"yes."
Doctors can't lie about this. There is an imbalance between supply and demand for transplant organ donors around the world, and the vast majority of patients cannot wait.
Zhu Xing’s mother’s hands moved like hurricanes.
Several medical staff saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to help her get the cup, fearing that the water in her cup would spill all over her body and burn her body.
After Xie Wanying took away the cup from the patient's family, she took out a paper towel and helped Zhu Xing's mother dry her hands.
Zhu Xing's mother suddenly threw away her hand, stood up excitedly and said to the attending doctor: "Doctor Cao, if not, give my heart to my son——"
The heart is not like the liver or the kidneys. Liver transplantation and small intestine transplantation can be done by cutting off part of the liver from a healthy person to a relative, because the cut liver can continue to grow back, and the intestine itself is very long to compensate. Everyone has two kidneys. If one is lost, the other one can compensate. Only the heart is the one thing that everyone cannot part with.
If the heart of a healthy person is removed, the healthy person will die. How could a doctor do such a murderous thing? Therefore, heart transplantation is far more difficult than liver transplantation, kidney transplantation, small intestine transplantation, etc. It is for this reason that it is difficult to find a donor.
A mother can save her own life if she wants to save her child, but the doctor will not allow this.
"Auntie." Xie Wanying pressed the patient's mother's shoulder, squeezed her other hand with her other hand and said, "Don't be nervous yet, we will wait."
Cao Zhao also stated: "We will work hard to support him until he gets a new heart."
"Can we wait?" Zhu Xing's mother asked, feeling that she couldn't wait any longer.
"Yes. Auntie. Nowadays, medicine has many advanced methods that can help patients survive the most difficult period of waiting for a heart transplant. For example, if necessary, we can help Zhu Xing and install an auxiliary device on his left ventricle and even on his right ventricle. The device allows the machine to help his heart pump blood and replace his heart function, so that he can continue to wait for a suitable heart to be transplanted," said Xie Wanying.
Zhu Xing's mother turned back and looked at her with stern eyes.
Xie Wanying nodded to the family members of the children.
Zhu Xing's mother calmed down. As mentioned before, what the family wants is not the doctor’s unwarranted words of comfort, but useful technical words.
The student took his place and comforted the family members, so Cao Zhao didn't need to say anything more.
Dr. Cheng Yuchen called PICU, and Duan Sanbao issued medical orders to transfer the child to the intensive care unit.
Along the way, Wei Shangquan held the child's hand and accompanied him as he transferred to different departments, complaining in his mind that the devil Cao used him as a hook to trick the child into living. It was a bit "excessive" to be honest.
