Haishi, a vegetative care center.
A thin figure was lying on the hospital bed, and Corinna was sitting next to him, holding his skinny hand.
"My dear, please get well soon. Mick has flown back. He has a game this week and can't stay any longer."
"Gina has just finished training and is on her way here. She should arrive in the afternoon. This time she will stay with you and stay longer."
"I wish I could chat with you, hold hands, and walk in the sunshine together, just like we used to do."
Outside the ward, Xiang Yong was chatting with Schumatz's personal doctor about the progress of his condition.
"Mr. Schumatz's cranial nerves are recovering better and better. He can sleep and wake up normally, and he responds to what you say. This means that his consciousness has been completely restored."
"Then when can he speak and when can he stand up?"
This is what Xiang Yong is concerned about. He has to admit that Schumatz's personal doctor has very good medical skills, a little higher than him.
The other party was also doing the wake-up treatment. He had no involvement at all and could only faithfully record everything in the clinical experiment.
At present, many media and fans are waiting outside the door of the daycare center every day, and the questions he asked are also of concern to everyone.
The private doctor smiled and said: "Don't worry, he has been in a coma for 9 years. It is not easy to wake up so quickly. His body functions have shrunk so much that it will be difficult to stand up in a short period of time. It will take a long period of rehabilitation training." OK."
"His brain tissue was severely damaged. Now he can swallow normally and move his fingers. These are all signs of improvement."
"I'm just a neurologist, and I'm not very professional in rehabilitation. Once he completes the clinical trial and fully recovers, I will return to Swiss, where the best rehabilitation team will provide him with follow-up care and treatment. , try to stand up as soon as possible."
"But I estimate that he should be able to speak in the next few days. Yesterday he made some vague sounds, but his tongue and facial nerves can't make normal movements. Although he can't hear clearly what he said, it is enough to prove that he is recovering. bingo."
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamation in the ward.
Xiang Yong rushed in quickly as if on conditioned reflex.
The personal doctor also reacted immediately and ran in immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Corinna's surprised face was filled with a happy smile: "He, he just spoke and said he loved me."
The personal doctor was immediately overjoyed: "He started talking so soon? That's great. He recovered faster than I thought."
He turned to look at the car god: "Try and say one more word. You can say anything, just one sentence."
"Thank you!" Schumatz struggled to spit out two English words from his mouth, and the pronunciation was still unclear.
But everyone understood it without a doubt.
Corinna burst into tears of joy.
Now she was sure that her husband had truly regained consciousness and was getting better.
Maybe after two or three months of rehabilitation, I will be able to stand up and walk.
Sanqing’s new medicine is really effective and miraculous.
Many top brain doctors have sentenced my husband to death, but only Sanqing's medicine saved him.
After her husband stood up, she would take him to thank Wei Kang.
She was already thinking about what kind of gift to give to express her gratitude.
Perhaps a unique Ferrari sports car customized by her husband would be a good choice.
Corinna recorded a video of her husband speaking with her mobile phone and posted it on social media to announce to her fans the complete return of the car god.
Many fans who had been waiting for the news were immediately overjoyed when they saw that their idol could speak, and began to repost it like crazy.
Schumatz has dominated the racing circuit for so many years and has many die-hard fans, and these fans have always been concerned about his health.
In the past, Corinna refused to disclose any information, so they could not find out. Now it is rare that she is willing to speak up, and she also gives so many details and such a sincere video.
They waited nine years to see him again, and they were all so excited that their eyes filled with tears.
Although these fans of the car god are not young, they are still very powerful.
In just a few minutes, the video of Schumatz waking up and talking went viral around the world.
Not only are fans retweeting it like crazy, but some people who don’t watch racing are also retweeting it.
Because the car god has heat, and the awakening of a vegetative person also has heat.
The double popularity has led to the crazy growth of videos at a rate of tens of thousands per minute.
The media also rushed to report on this matter. On TV, in newspapers, and on the Internet, there were videos everywhere of the car god waking up from a vegetative state and talking. It was overwhelming and no corner was missed.
Netizens and fans are all talking about it, and some popular or retired racing drivers have also retweeted it, which has led to other sports stars on the Internet retweeting it.
A sports news story that spread across the entire Internet was born.
All the fans around the world are praying for him and cheering for him.
"That's awesome. Fortunately, there is the special medicine of Sanqing. Otherwise, the racing god will never wake up. This will be the biggest regret in the sports world."
"Sanqing saved my youth. How I wish I could see the car god wearing a red racing suit again, even if he is sitting in an ordinary car."
"His condition in the video looks pretty good. Maybe one day, he can return to the game to cheer for Schumatz Jr. and cheer for his son to win the championship."
Car god Schumatz, F1's greatest racing driver, completely woke up from his vegetative state and spoke to his fans.
This gimmicky news instantly swept the world and even made the front pages of major domestic media.
Many family members of people in a vegetative state also saw this news, and their eyes lit up and their hope was rekindled.
If people who have been in a vegetative state for 9 years can regain consciousness, then their relatives must also be able to.
They saw that Sanqing's new medicine had cured the vegetative state, so they called one after another to inquire.
Is the new drug mentioned in the news on the market?
When will it be released and where can I buy it?
How to apply for clinical trials?
Wait, a series of questions.
In addition to calling Sanqing, the family members also noticed something keenly.
A vegetative care center located in Haishi.
Lu Kun is one of them.
His mother was involved in a car accident and hit half of her skull. The hospital diagnosed her with diffuse axonal injury, a primary parenchymal brain injury caused by head trauma.
The perpetrator could not pay any compensation, and Lu Kun had to pay all the medical expenses himself.
When the accident first happened, Lu Kuntuo found the most famous neurosurgery expert in Beijing. As a result, the doctor looked at his mother, shook his head and left.
Lu Kun had no choice but to take his mother home from the ICU ward.
The ICU ward in the hospital is too expensive, starting at at least 5,000 a day, and the vegetative doctor will no longer treat the patient. If he stays, he will only occupy the bed in vain. It is better for the family to take care of themselves.
After bringing his mother home, Lu Kun prepared a complete set of equipment such as a ventilator, sputum suction machine, blood oxygen clamp, and monitor in a 10-square-meter bedroom to take care of her.
He worked as a sales supervisor at a nearby mobile phone chain store. He worked during the day to earn money, and returned home at night, taking turns taking care of his father.
My father had already learned a series of procedures such as inserting urinary and gastric tubes, and stayed with his wife almost 24 hours a day.
After the mother's accident, the wife also left with the children.
The father and mother lived like this for more than a year.
Originally he was very optimistic about life, but after encountering this kind of situation, he was completely overwhelmed by despair.
He once felt that his life was over, and he wanted to end it all and commit suicide.
Later, I thought about how selfish it was that I left and left my mother's mess to my father alone.
My father would definitely not be able to hold on any longer, and it would be a tragedy for his family to be wiped out, so he gave up the idea of committing suicide.
At this stage, the treatment method with the highest success rate in promoting awakening for vegetative patients is deep brain stimulation, which involves implanting a pacemaker in the patient's brain and performing external continuous electrical stimulation on the patient's arousal system, once every 200,000 times.
Lu Kun thought about selling the house and giving it to his mother, but his father stopped him.
His father calmly told him that there was no need to spend it, it would not make him better, and you could not have nothing.
The expectations disappeared little by little.
In the past, Lu Kun thought that as long as he took good care of her, his mother would live a better life.
But his confidence only lasted for a year and four months, and the most shocking thing happened.
That day, Lu Kun changed the filter tube for his mother as usual.
As soon as he took out the filter tube, two insects crawled out from the surface of the tracheostomy skin.
Lu Kun was instantly frightened and broke down crying.
It would be nice if he could take better care of her. He was the one who made his mother look like this, letting bugs get into her body.
There were obviously no insects the day before yesterday, and they were not there yesterday either, but suddenly there are insects today.
At that moment, he deeply regretted and blamed himself.
He felt that he was not saving his mother, but harming her. As long as she had the slightest consciousness, she would definitely not want to live anymore in this situation.
A deep sense of frustration immediately came up.
If there was euthanasia in the country, he would never let her suffer like this for a minute.
From that day on, he had a knot in his mind and always felt that there were a lot of bugs crawling in his heart.
I also often have nightmares about countless maggots crawling out of my mother's body, but I still pretend to be invisible and continue to nurse her.
Later, the bugs disappeared, and the mother's body changed day by day.
Lu Kun changed her diaper every day and when he wiped her body, he watched helplessly as she became only skin and no flesh.
"Maybe if I don't give her food for more than 10 days, she will go away and be completely relieved."
He often thought about it, but he couldn't do it and couldn't bear it.
Because he understands that if he does this, everything will end, but the new nightmare will completely swallow him up and make him live with guilt for the rest of his life.
On this day, during lunch break, he was eating his lunch absentmindedly, chewing it mechanically, without any taste at all.
The doctor's words "long-term pain is worse than short-term pain" came to mind again.
"Maybe it would have been better to have the tube removed then," he murmured.
Suddenly, a colleague next to him slapped him and shouted loudly.
"Lao Lu, look at the news. The car god Schumatz took Sanqing's medicine and changed from a vegetative state to a normal person."
"I remember your mother seems to be the same way. Maybe this medicine will be effective for her too."
Lu Kun was so excited that he had no time to speak, so he quickly took out his phone and read the relevant news.
He quickly noticed this vegetative care center located on the outskirts of Haishi.
"I didn't even know there was such a place. If I had known, I would have sent my mother here."
"Car god Schumatz traveled all the way from Europe to China to see a doctor, and he just stayed here. His level must not be much different."
As if he grabbed a life-saving straw in an instant, he immediately searched for the address of the daycare center.
Fortunately, it was not far from his home, just over ten kilometers away.
He took half a day off and drove over for an on-site inspection.
Xiang Yong received him personally and quickly negotiated the care arrangements.
During this period, many family members of people in a vegetative state called the care center and wanted to send their loved ones over.
However, many patients are too far away from Haishi. It is too troublesome to drive them all the way there, and it is not convenient to come and take care of them.
Secondly, the cost is not cheap either. It costs 7,500 per month. For many small cities or families with poor economic conditions, the burden is too heavy and they have to give up.
This price is actually not too expensive in Haishi. With Lu Kun's income and his father's pension, it can still be afforded.
So he sent his mother over that night.
He really doesn't want to see the insect infestation happen again, and this has become a psychological shadow on him.
Staying in the daycare center, not only can the mother receive professional care, but the father and son can also come and accompany her every day.
In this way, he also has time to see his children and his life can improve.
Of course, the most important thing is to completely eliminate the shadow caused by the bug, so that he no longer has the idea of suicide and extubation.
After sending his mother away, Lu Kun could clearly feel his father's relief when he returned home.
It seems that my father has also been living in pain for a long time, and now he is finally relieved.
He thought to himself, opened an app on his phone, and soon saw the picture of his mother lying peacefully on the hospital bed.
In the nursery center, a 24-hour camera is installed in front of each hospital bed. If family members are out of town or it is inconvenient to come, they can turn it on and take a look.
"Fortunately, we have this place." Lu Kun couldn't help blurting out as he looked at the camera with his father.
After a few days, Lu Kun's life gradually got back on track.
He also applied for phase III clinical trials of specific drugs for his mother on Longtu.
Originally, he didn't have much hope. Although the number of people in the third phase of the experiment has increased to more than 2,000, there are not many places allocated to vegetative patients. He is new to the care center, so logically he should not be in line so quickly.
Unexpectedly, the surprise came so suddenly.
The dean suddenly called him and told him that his application had been successful.
It may be that pharmaceutical companies have selected some patients who have just entered a vegetative state for a relatively short time, so that they have a higher chance of waking up.
After all, it is definitely much more difficult to wake up those vegetative people who have been sleeping for more than five or six years.
When time is limited and places are limited, older patients are naturally the first choice to be treated.
Lu Kun analyzed this in his mind, and he felt more and more that this was the truth.
In the following time, he and his father accompanied his mother to take medicine and receive treatment.
Sure enough, the mother quickly developed physical reactions and slight consciousness.
More than a month later, I finally woke up.
When he saw his mother's pupils begin to focus, the confusion in his eyes slowly disappeared, and turned into ecstasy instantly after seeing himself.
At this moment, tears rolled down from the corners of Lu Kun's eyes. His whole body was trembling and he almost burst into tears.
He kept saying only one sentence over and over in his mouth.
"Fortunately, this place exists."
