Chapter 2861 Extubation

"Except for shortness of breath, everything else is fine. I have eaten more, and my activities are a little more vigorous." Xiao Shitou said with a smile.

Seeing him smiling brightly, Zheng Ren felt a little complicated.

"Doctor Zheng, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I have talked with Xiaoshitou." Wen Xiaonuan said, "We are very happy recently. Every day when the sun is sunny at noon, we walk in the courtyard and talk about you and Xiaoshi. Doctor Su."

Wen Xiaonuan's words were a little twisted, but Zheng Ren understood.

The doctor's concern for the disease is one form, and the patient's and patient's family's concern for the disease is another form.

If you want to say who wants to be healthy the most, it must be the patient himself. As for the doctor in charge of the bed and the family members of the patient, it depends on the specific situation.

"That's right. After Bota's treatment, the overall condition has improved, but the complications are also relatively serious." Zheng Ren said after thinking for a while, "The lung transplant surgery we mentioned last time, we probably have to try it."

Wen Xiaonuan held Xiao Shitou's hand, looked at Zheng Ren and said, "Is it very dangerous?"

"Because small stones cannot use conventional immune preparations, otherwise I am worried that the tumor will explode, so I have to use a technology that is still under research." Zheng Ren said softly, "There is no successful case... No one has done it. After that No one knows what will happen.”

Wen Xiaonuan stopped talking. She suppressed her anxiety and looked back at Xiaoshi.

"Brother, I found some information after you told me last time." Xiao Shitou said with a smile, not like talking about himself at all, but like an intern discussing his illness with a teacher.

"What did you see?" Zheng Ren asked with a smile.

"There are all kinds of information, and the things on professional websites are too boring, and it is very boring to read. However, under the existing technology, the survival rate of lung transplantation is 90% after 1 year, about 60% after 3 years, and 50% after 5 years. %. In fact, I think many of them are other complications caused by immune preparations, and the operation is not difficult on the whole.”

"..."

Zheng Ren smiled.

Xiaoshi really dared to say that lung transplantation is not difficult.

Although Zheng Ren also thinks so, the difficulty of organ transplant surgery is far less than the heart separation surgery of conjoined twins. But no matter how you say this kind of surgery is also difficult, it just depends on what kind of surgery it is compared with.

"Do it, I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath getting worse recently." Xiao Shitou said with certainty, "But you have to promise me one thing."

"what's up?"

"If the operation is successful, there is definitely nothing to talk about. If it fails, there is nothing to talk about if you can't get off the operating table. You can get off the operating table, but you can't wake up. You must use machines to maintain your life, such as ventilators, ecmo, etc. Can you help me remove the tube?"

"You think so much at such a young age, do you know how much it costs to use ecmo for a day?" Su Yun said contemptuously.

"Brother Yun, you can stand and talk without back pain, okay?" Little Stone said, "It's very uncomfortable to have a tube inserted. I had a tube when I was in Bota, and I felt like I was floating in the boundless universe. The beginning is not the end."

Zheng Ren listened quietly, and he saw Wen Xiaonuan's hand clenched tighter and tighter, but Xiaoshi patted the back of Wen Xiaonuan's hand lightly like an adult, comforting his mother.

"It would be very uncomfortable if that happened. I counted, and I have already lived for an extra month. If I am going to do a lung transplant, it is still in the experimental stage of 3D printing autologous cloned cell lung transplantation, and I have to prepare for at least half a month. "

"I earned it all."

Seeing that Xiaoshitou spoke lightly, Zheng Ren nodded slightly.

"Originally, what's the point of medical treatment?" Little Stone glanced at Zheng Ren, then at Su Yun, and asked seriously.

"Meaning..." Zheng Ren was slightly dazed when he remembered what happened to Jinhai City yesterday.

"People are always going to die, and what doctors do is meaningless from a macro perspective." Xiao Shitou argued with a smile.

Zheng Ren knew that Xiao Shitou was using a joking tone to relax himself, but Su Yun became unhappy and started arguing with him.

Xiao Shitou shook his head and did not answer Su Yun's words, "Brother Yun, we are not arguing. Whether I live or die is meaningless to the whole world, but it has infinite meaning to me. I enjoy being in this world very much." Every day I go to school, for example, I can talk to my mother, and I wait for you to come to make rounds every day."

"I think, no matter what you do, you can't think too much." Xiao Shitou said, "As long as I don't let me enter the floating state of the universe again, one more day of life will be more happy. If there is no confinement It is necessary."

"The meaning to you is different from the meaning to me. To my mother, I am everything. But if she knows that I am lying there, living is more uncomfortable than dying, she should agree."

Saying that, Xiao Shitou looked at Wen Xiaonuan, and held the other hand in hers.

Wen Xiaonuan nodded, crying too much, tears have been shed, and now Wen Xiaonuan accepts everything.

There was nothing she could do if she didn't accept it, she didn't even dare to look at Zheng Ren, and didn't dare to face Zheng Ren's gray hair.

"Brother, do you agree?" Xiao Shitou asked Zheng Ren with a smile.

"Yeah." Zheng Ren nodded, "If I judge that there is little hope, I will extubate."

"That's right, don't be so serious." Xiao Shitou smiled, "Have you ever failed an operation?"

"Not yet."

"So, I have enough reasons to believe that you can succeed, don't I?" Xiao Shitou continued with a smile, "As long as you agree to what I just said. For you, if I die, all that will be left is nostalgia .But for me, that means easy relief."

"Try it, anyway, I'm having difficulty breathing now, and my blood oxygen saturation is estimated to be around 90%."

"Okay." Zheng Ren and Xiao Shitou looked at each other, and seeing what he said was serious, they already figured it out.

Now the one who is confused is himself.

What is the meaning of life? It's like a little stone facing a dilemma and having to make a decision.

Zheng Ren suddenly smiled, thinking too much not to grow taller. This ultimate philosophical question is too difficult for me, and being the best surgeon seems to be much less difficult.

And I threw the problem to Xiao Shitou again and again, subconsciously I still defined the relationship with Xiao Shitou as a doctor and patient.

"Then it's settled. I'm on the 7th plane and go to receive the prize. When I get back, when the 3D-printed lungs arrive, we'll have surgery." Zheng Ren said without doubt, his words were calm and sincere, his eyes were clear, and he watched Small stone eyes.

The little stone smiled, like wild flowers growing from the crevices of the stone.
