  Chapter 699 Body Donation (First Update)

  Lu Chen did not leave the emergency department immediately, but returned to the ward.

  Things seem to have taken a turn for the better.

   If the girl really fell in love early and broke up, then the reason for her coma may come to the surface.

   Lu Chen has encountered, and there are many news reports, what to drink sleeping pills, pesticides and unknown psychotropic drugs.

   "By the way, is there anyone else in your family?" Lu Chen asked in a deep voice.

  The woman is still in great grief.

  Lu Chen called out several times before she came back to her senses.

   "No, no one. This kind of thing happened at home, and everyone came to the hospital."

  Lu Chen frowned, "Now let one of your family members go home immediately, go to the bedroom where your daughter passed out and look for any medicine bottles or something."

   "Ah? Doctor... Doctor, do you mean my daughter takes medicine?"

   "This is just a guess, it's very possible!" Lu Chen said sternly, "According to the current examination and test results, the cause of the coma cannot be found. Apart from taking medicine, I really can't think of other reasons."

  If it is an overdose of sleeping drugs, it can lead to deep coma, respiratory depression, cardiac arrest, etc., which cannot be detected by ordinary blood tests and CT scans.

   "Okay, let the relatives here go back to one now."

   There seemed to be a hint of color in the woman's eyes. She hurriedly ran into the emergency ward and told a family member to go home and check to see if there were any empty medicine bottles or the like.

   And Lu Chen did not leave for the time being, but returned to the emergency department.

   He has nothing else to do anyway.

  …

   in the emergency department ward.

  Deputy chief physician Lv Zhifeng is communicating with the patient's family about the condition.

"Families should be mentally prepared. In this situation, they only use drugs to maintain blood pressure and maintain breathing. Once the drugs are withdrawn, the person may be gone." Lu Zhifeng said slowly, "If you want to continue treatment, you may need to be transferred to the intensive care unit. ?"

   The patient's father is an honest and flattering middle-aged man with red eyes, "Doctor, tell me the truth, what are the chances of my daughter waking up?"

   "This...it's hard to say." Lu Zhifeng shook his head slightly.

   "Then... According to your experience, how about an estimate?" the man whispered.

   Hearing this, Lu Zhifeng almost understood what the man meant.

   Transfer to the intensive care unit, maintenance monitoring and rescue costs, which is not an ordinary family can afford.

   And in the end, it is very likely to be the end of people and money.

   In an ordinary family, if you encounter such a thing, if you fight to the end, it may not have a good ending.

  Lu Zhifeng was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Actually, let me be more straightforward. Your daughter's current situation, if it takes a little longer, it can be diagnosed as brain death."

   "Brain dead?" The man's face darkened, "That is to say, my daughter will become a vegetable in the future?"

   Lu Zhifeng shook his head.

   "Brain death is not a vegetative person, these two are different concepts."

  General vegetative state refers to a state that is similar to the survival phenomenon of plants under some specific disease conditions.

   In addition, the vegetative person at this time will still preserve some instinctive conditioned reflexes, and can also metabolize substances and energy, but their cognitive function has been completely lost, which is clinically irreversible coma.

   Brain death is the damage to brain function and brain stem function, which leads to brain death. For such people, they cannot breathe spontaneously, and they need to use machines to help them breathe.

   "Veterans can live for many years, after all, they do not need the maintenance of drugs and ventilators."

   "However, brain-dead patients can only last for a few hours, two or three days, and a maximum of ten days and a half months."

   "What we can do now is to look at the patient's fortune."

   The man's expression was extremely gloomy when he heard Lu Zhifeng's words.

   Brain death, which undoubtedly has diagnosed clinical death.

   Continuing the treatment may be in vain.

  Is it really going to be cured?

   "Doctor, I'll discuss with the child's mother." The man seemed a little choked up, "I'll give you an answer right away."

   "Okay, let's discuss it as soon as possible." Lu Zhifeng said.

  …

   The patient's mother just had a glimmer of hope, so she asked her relatives to help her go home and take a look.

   But when he heard the man's words, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and he stayed where he was, unable to move for a long time.

brain death? !

   Her tears seemed to have dried up and she couldn't cry anymore.

   She ran to the hospital bed, stared closely at her daughter's appearance, stretched out her hand, tremblingly wanted to touch her face, and then slowly retracted her hand.

   "Little Rain, can you hear what mom said?"

   "Xiaoyu, mother will never criticize you again."

   "Little Rain, just open your eyes and talk to your mother..."

   There were no hysterical shouting and crying, and the woman just sat quietly beside the hospital bed, muttering something in her mouth, her eyes no longer looking bright.

  Looking at this situation, the husband cannot communicate with his wife about the next treatment plan.

   He stepped forward, gently grabbed his wife's arm, and said slowly, "The doctor said that if you want to continue treatment, then transfer to the intensive care unit."

  The wife did not answer his words.

  The man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and continued: "Don't worry, as long as Xiaoyu still has a breath, he will continue to treat the pot and iron!"

   After talking, the man finally couldn't hold it anymore and burst into tears.

   At this time, the woman wiped away her tears, glanced at her husband, then slowly stood up and walked towards Lu Zhifeng.

  …

  Lu Chen had already returned to the emergency department ward.

   But he is a doctor who consults and can only stay silently by the side.

   When he heard Lu Zhifeng talking about "brain death", he also frowned slightly and didn't say much.

   Judging from the current state of the patient, there is no spontaneous breathing and a deep coma. At first glance, it does meet the diagnosis of brain death.

   "Doctor Lu, do you have anything else to do?" Lu Zhifeng asked suspiciously when he saw Lu Chen leaving and returning.

  The general consultation doctor, after writing the consultation opinion, wants to leave early, who would stay in someone else's department? !

  Lu Chen thought about it for a while, but still expressed his own thoughts, "Director Lu, I just heard from the patient's mother outside that the patient may have broken up recently."

   "Huh?" Lu Zhifeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then what?"

   "I wondered if she was taking medicine at home..."

   Lu Chen was interrupted by Lu Zhifeng before he could finish speaking.

   "Wait a minute, the patient's family has come to talk to me."

   At this time, the patient's parents were walking towards Lu Zhifeng.

   When Lu Chen saw this, he silently stood aside.

   "Director Lu, we... we want to ask about body donation..."

   The patient's father surprised everyone when he opened his mouth.
