Section 1, Two Time Points
Lin Ping finally managed to calm his wife down, but tears were still glistening in his eyes. They had been married for over twenty years and had only this one son. To say that it didn't hurt would be a lie. Struggling to maintain his composure, he asked, "Nurse, could you let my wife see our son?"
Although Nurse Xiao spoke in a roundabout manner, the meaning was clear upon hearing it. From the current perspective, a patient who is brain dead is considered to be effectively deceased. However, as long as the patient still has a heartbeat, no doctor dares to easily issue a death certificate. Otherwise, if they encounter irrational family members, it is not just a matter of loud arguments; it could lead to complicated legal issues. Currently, all they can do is maintain the patient's heartbeat and leave the final decision-making authority to the patient's family. No doctor dares to easily issue a death certificate. Otherwise, if they encounter irrational family members, it is not just a matter of loud arguments; it could lead to complicated legal issues. Currently, all they can do is maintain the patient's heartbeat and leave the final decision-making authority to the patient's family.
Dr. Qin sighed inwardly, "What I mean to say is that Lin Yifei currently has damage to the brainstem, with blood clots compressing the central nervous system. He no longer has autonomous breathing and is in a state of deep coma. Moreover, his brain waves are flat, showing a straight line, and even when amplified, there are no signals. In other words, " he paused, "the patient is already brain dead and is at risk of death at any moment."
Lin Ping's tears finally fell, and he stumbled out. Dr. Qin felt a heavy heart as he looked up at the window; the sky was dark and overcast, resembling an impending downpour. He sighed and sat down weakly.
Finally feeling a bit drowsy, Lin Ping cast a sidelong glance at his wife. She was still the same as ever. Gently embracing her, he whispered, "Xiulan, let's take a nap. We still need to visit our son tomorrow"
Wanyan Lie's eyes sparkled brightly, as if flames were bursting forth. However, he raised his sword to the sky, the murderous intent had vanished. The figure that was originally on horseback had become elusive and difficult to discern.
The attending physician's eyes were bright and spirited, but their face was obscured by a mask, making it impossible to discern the features behind it. However, from the full head of dark hair, it could be inferred that this person was not particularly old.
Originally, the blue light was far away and unattainable, but in the next moment, it had already arrived outside the hospital. Immediately, a thunderous sound erupted, illuminating the night as if it were day. The blue light passed through bricks, tiles, and concrete without any obstruction, entering a room.
Wanyan Lie coldly laughed and said: "Xiao Bieli, although you are indeed a prodigy, forging your own path in martial arts and creating the Nine Separations and Eighteen Departures internal skill, I have always held you in high regard. However, three years have passed; do you know what level my Thirteen Wujigong has reached?"
After a long pause, she said: "Doctor Qin, is it really impossible?" She actually already knew that Doctor Qin would not make this decision unless it was absolutely necessary, but she still found it hard to believe that a promising university student had already reached the end of their life.
The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, and suddenly caught sight of the list in He Xiulan's hand. His expression changed drastically as he snatched it away, glancing at it twice. Although he did not collapse to the ground, his palm had already begun to tremble violently.
It is well known in the martial world that two divine weapons currently dominate the realm. One of them is the "Sword of Inquiry to Heaven," which is now held in the hands of Xiao Bieli. The other is the "Flame Blade," which is wielded by the foremost expert of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Lie.
The night grew darker, yet the rain showed no signs of letting up, pouring down in torrents.
Feeling utterly exhausted, as if on the brink of death, this rescue effort was undoubtedly as grueling as a battle. With a sense of frustration, Dr. Qin walked out of the operating room, changed his clothes, and removed his gloves. His mood was quite poor; he understood what brain death signified and what it meant for the family. Yet, what more could he do?
The patient's injuries are significantly more severe than initially diagnosed. After the attending physician performed an exploratory laparotomy under general anesthesia, it was discovered that the patient had two ruptures in the duodenum, a rupture of the head of the pancreas, a laceration of the right lobe of the liver, and damage to the spleen, along with a hematoma measuring several tens of centimeters in the retroperitoneal space. The severe ruptures and injuries to so many vital organs are indeed rare in clinical practice
The attending physician paused slightly, glanced at the injured person, and gritted his teeth, saying: "Then let's proceed with the rescue first. You have Xiao continue to contact the injured person's immediate family as much as possible."
"Are you Lin Yifei's father, Lin Ping?" Nurse Xiao asked
In that room, there was only a hospital bed, and the patient on the bed was filled with tubes, with a respirator attached to their mouth and nose, their eyes tightly closed, resembling a corpse
Lin Ping heard the broadcaster on the television delivering an urgent weather forecast, "According to the meteorological station's prediction, due to the alternating influence of cold and warm air along the coast, Jiangyuan City will experience rare heavy to torrential rain tonight. The meteorological station advises citizens to take precautions against rain and thunder when going out and to make necessary safety preparations"
The two thick eyebrows slant like sharp swords into the temples, the nose resembles a suspended gallbladder, and the eyes are like shooting stars, yet there is a hint of seriousness in the gaze
With a faint smile, Xiao Bieli's expression carried an indescribable sense of loneliness, "Although I did not kill you three years ago, it is not out of the question to do so three years later."
However, when they grasped the steering wheel, they had already cast aside the most basic conscience. Nevertheless, these matters are merely Dr. Qin's conjectures; the specific circumstances can only be clarified by the traffic police.
In the distance, a large flag flutters in the wind, devoid of any inscriptions, but embroidered with a fierce tiger, its wings sprouting from its ribs, baring its fangs and claws, vividly alive, as if ready to charge into battle at any moment. The soldiers beneath the flag stand in a straight line, clad in iron armor and riding iron steeds, their faces obscured by layers of iron mesh, yet exuding an overwhelming aura of killing intent, their momentum not in the slightest inferior to that of the Yue Family Army
Dark clouds press down on the city, the armor glistens coldly
It is rumored that Xiao Bieli has been through countless battles since her debut, having faced numerous martial arts masters without ever suffering a defeat. Although she and her elder brother have also been invincible in the Jin Kingdom, for some unknown reason, she now feels a sense of unease in her heart
"Xiao Xiao," Dr. Qin said weakly, "Issue a critical illness notice."
Regulate blood volume, correct water and electrolyte balance, restore equilibrium, and supplement platelets. The attending physician remained relatively calm and issued a series of continuous instructions in response to the condition.
Standing against the backdrop of the desolate separation were two individuals. One was clad in animal skin; despite the cold weather, he exposed half of his chest. His skin was as robust as iron, and his overall appearance resembled that of a wild man. His disheveled hair was tied together, forming long braids that coiled around his neck. Although his attire was rough, his features were not coarse; instead, he exuded a somewhat scholarly and aloof demeanor. However, his eyes flashed with a cold light, causing those who met his gaze to feel a shiver. It was striking how his piercing gaze seemed incongruous with his appearance, creating an indescribable sense of awkwardness about him.
Two pairs of horsemen stood facing each other, as if cast in iron and bronze, not moving in the slightest
A quick glance at the medical record reveals that the patient, Lin Yifei, is a 20-year-old sophomore at Zhejiang Qing University. He has sustained severe contusions and hematomas in the right brain due to a car accident, along with closed abdominal injuries. There is a suspicion of possible major vascular damage and rib fractures
The Jin soldiers are fierce and ruthless; this team is undoubtedly the elite among the Jin troops, a selection of the bravest warriors. Although the Yue family army instills fear in the Jin soldiers, if one were to say that there are indeed those among the Jin who are not afraid of the Yue family army, it would undoubtedly be the "Flying Tiger Ironclad Troops" before us
The ambulance had not yet come to a complete stop when several individuals in white coats rushed out of the hospital, swiftly taking the stretcher from the vehicle and quickly running towards the emergency room
Nurse Xiao was very responsible, and after much persuasion, she managed to have Aunt He stay in a hospital room to rest for a while. Although Lin Ping was filled with immense sorrow, he remained somewhat clear-headed and stayed hopelessly with his wife in the hospital room. Looking out at the sky, which was as dark as ink, a sudden flash of lightning struck, tearing a small gap in the night. However, all the light was only temporary, quickly swallowed again by the boundless darkness
Doctor Qin, in his thirties, had thick eyebrows and a square face, with some gray hair at his temples. However, his pair of glasses was very expressive, as he intently gazed at the CT scan in his hands. Finally, he let out a sigh, raised his head, and his gaze fell upon Lin Ping.
Lin Ping's eyes were somewhat vacant; after a long while, he finally stood up, but his entire body felt weak. After a considerable time, he asked, "What are the chances of my son regaining consciousness?"
The person on the stretcher is wearing an oxygen mask, with eyes tightly closed and a hint of pain between the brows, as if still conscious. On the chest area, there are numerous red stains on the stretcher, clearly indicating that the injured has lost a significant amount of blood and is severely wounded
Zhejiang Qing University? This is one of the top universities in the country. Although the current employment pressure is unimaginable, those who are able to enter this university can be said to be free from worries about food and clothing after graduation. The attending physician let out a sigh, reflecting on the bright youth and future of this person, but after this car accident, their path ahead has become uncertain.
As the announcer's voice faded, several bolts of lightning struck in quick succession, the thunder rolling like a tight drum. Lin Ping felt as if his heart was a still pond, not stirring in the slightest. He could only think of tomorrow? A miracle?
At noon, when everything tends to induce drowsiness, a somewhat piercing sound of a flute unexpectedly rang out, approaching from afar and rushing into the gates of Anping Hospital
"How is Xiulan and Yifei?" A middle-aged man rushed in, shouting with his head held high, panting heavily
"Wanyan Lie," Xiao Bieli said in a deep voice, "I never expected that after our parting three years ago, we would meet again today with swords drawn."
As he watched Nurse Xiao and He Xiuying disappear from view, Lin Ping sighed, feeling as if he had aged considerably in that brief moment. He glanced at the nurse before him, a trace of a sorrowful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth, "I appreciate your trouble."
August 23, 2002
Dr. Qin felt a chill in his heart, sighed, and wearily glanced at the patient on the bed. "Put him on a ventilator, continue administering cardiovascular drugs to maintain his heartbeat, and repeat the tests twice within 12 hours. Provide me with the results tomorrow." He had done everything he could; now, all that remained was to see the patient's luck. He was merely a doctor, not a deity.
It is often said that shaking a mountain is easy, but shaking the Yue Family Army is difficult. However, the current Xiao Bieli, with his deep and towering presence, appears to be no easier to defeat than shaking a mountain
"However, we still need to conduct observations for twelve more hours," Dr. Qin said slowly. "Only after twelve hours can we perform brainstem reflex tests, cough reflex tests, and apnea tests. If there are no responses in any of these tests, then we can declare true brain death. At that point, even if we can maintain heartbeat and respiration with a ventilator and medication, we will still advise you to forgo resuscitation, as it would no longer hold any significance."
This is the brain CT scan of the injured Lin Yifei. Dr. Qin hung up the film and pointed to a shadow in it, saying: "This is the brainstem, which is the main part of the brain. It is composed of the pons, medulla oblongata, and midbrain."
Have the family members been notified? The attending physician did not forget to ask this question. In such situations, the hospital naturally prioritizes rescue efforts, but subsequent actions can only commence once the family members arrive. This means that someone must sign and pay; otherwise, if every patient is treated without anyone covering the costs, no one will take responsibility. Even the best hospitals cannot sustain operations for long under such circumstances.
Wanyan Lie's gaze was sharp as a knife, coldly looking at Xiao Bieli and saying: "Three years ago, you did not kill me. Do you have any regrets now?"
As the two individuals were drowsily on the verge of sleep, they failed to notice a dazzling blue light emerging from the horizon outside the window, rapidly rushing in their direction. Not only did they not see it, but also none of the residents of Jiangyuan City were aware of it. At that moment, Jiangyuan City was filled with the rumble of thunder and flashes of lightning, and the only option was to stay at home, quietly watching television, with no one paying attention to the strange phenomena in the sky
... ... eight hundred years ago ... ...
Dr. Qin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Unless a miracle occurs." This was the most tactful way he could express it, yet as a doctor, he had the responsibility to inform the patient of the truth of the situation
Dr. Qin, we have already contacted the relatives of the injured party. The father, Lin Ping, and the mother, He Xiulan, are both residents of this city. He Xiulan has arrived at the hospital, while Lin Ping is still on the way. His mother wishes to see you
The woman was as beautiful as a painting, a beauty rarely seen even among the daughters of the southern lands. However, in her gaze towards Xiao Bieli, there was a sense of gravity and respect. Her name was Wanyan Feihua, and she was the sister of Wanyan Lie. She knew that the person she was facing at this moment was none other than the renowned "Sword of Heaven," Xiao Bieli, whom she had long heard of but had never met.
After three electric shocks, the electrocardiogram showed that the patient was in ventricular fibrillation, with uncoordinated myocardial contractions. The attending physician felt a slight joy in his heart and said, "Inject the cardiotonic medication."
Only today's battle is inevitable
The attending physician on the operating table was sweating profusely, his expression increasingly severe. Occasionally, an assistant would wipe the physician's forehead, and within just one minute, this was done seven times.
The attending physician no longer hesitated and has already begun the rescue efforts
Only two large flags fluttering in the wind add a touch of vitality to the lifeless Zhu Xian Town
Anesthesiologist preparation, abdominal and library decompression preparation, emergency blood transfusion preparation
Just like the Song and Jin dynasties, they are irreconcilable, and there is no possibility of reconciliation.
The hospital is located near the picturesque East Lake in Jiangyuan City, where the climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful. It not only serves as a place for medical treatment but also makes for a good venue for recuperation.
Anping Hospital is a municipal hospital located in the northeast corner of Jiangyuan City. Although it is a municipal hospital, many say that in terms of standards and medical conditions, it is certainly not inferior to provincial hospitals
If one were to only observe the person's attire and demeanor, others might be left speechless with laughter. However, upon seeing the thick-backed cleaver, not a single person would be able to laugh. This cleaver is not particularly special; it may simply be thicker, longer, and heavier than others. Yet, the two golden characters "Demonic Flame" engraved on the back of the blade instill a sense of dread in people
What is this? He Xiulan felt something was amiss in her heart, and suddenly saw the list in her hand. She snatched it away, and just one glance nearly caused her to collapse to the ground
The equipment was already prepared, and I glanced at the electrocardiogram once more, "defibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation."
A nurse approached quickly, her jet-black hair tied in a ponytail, exuding a youthful vitality. Her face was somewhat slender, with a pair of distinctly black-and-white eyes. The corners of her mouth were pressed into a slight arc, and her expression was somewhat serious. She was not very old, appearing quite young.
The tip of the sword merely points diagonally to the ground, yet the entire person seems transformed, devoid of desolation, devoid of gloom, and instead filled with a sense of righteousness, an overwhelming aura of dignity
Although she knew that waiting outside the hospital room would be of no help, and that the intensive care unit did not allow family members to enter, Aunt He was still determined not to leave. She had only one son; which parent could bear to be away from their child when they were in such a critical condition?
However, life does not always unfold according to your will; there are many things that must be done even if you do not wish to do them
After a moment of hesitation, Nurse Xiao's tone became serious as she said, "Doctor Qin suggested observing for one day, temporarily using a ventilator and cardiovascular drugs to maintain the heartbeat. If there are still no brain waves by tomorrow, then there will be no... no need for further treatment."
Lin Ping was in a state of confusion. He was an architectural designer, yet he had no understanding of brain structure. He could only stare intently at his son's brain CT scan, as if it were a lifeline.
The nurse responded with a sound and quickly walked out
"I want to see Xiao Fei, the child's father, please just let me see the child for a moment." He Xiulan struggled desperately, already knowing in her heart that what she would most likely see again was her son, who was devoid of any consciousness.
Slowly drawing the iron sword from his waist, and gazing at the dark stain on the blade, Xiao Bieli said in a deep voice: "It is a pity that today we have reached the point where we must settle this, Wanyan Lie. Have you ever considered that as long as Marshal Yue is alive, the ambitions of your Jin Kingdom can never succeed? If that is the case, why not turn back sooner? Moreover..." He wanted to say something, but ultimately held back his words. Xiao Bieli said in a deep voice: "It is a pity that today we have reached the point where we must settle this, Wanyan Lie. Have you ever considered that as long as Marshal Yue is alive, the ambitions of your Jin Kingdom can never succeed? If that is the case, why not turn back sooner? Moreover..." He wanted to say something, but ultimately held back his words
His expression was somewhat despondent, yet more so filled with helplessness, while boundless fury erupted from his eyes. Xiao Bieli tightened his grip on the iron sword and said in a deep voice: "Who will claim the deer is still uncertain. Indeed, you and I have long severed our ties. Since that is the case, please!"
The person beside him, although with a stern expression, had delicate features and was surprisingly a woman
Wanyan Lie gazed at the large flag bearing the character "岳" and surprisingly showed a hint of respect in his eyes. He slowly unsheathed the Demon Flame Blade from his saddle, saying, "You are right, but can I still turn back? Or can you hold back?"
The only response from him was a silent sob, as the two embraced, tears streaming down their faces
In a hurry, he grabbed his beloved, while Lin Ping remained relatively calm, "Is there really no hope at all?"
"No, no, you are lying to me," Aunt He murmured, tightly clutching the critical illness notice in her hand, as if holding onto the last straw of hope
Blood pressure continues to decline, heart rate continues to rise, and platelet count continues to decrease A series of urgent alarms sounded
He Xiulan is a middle-aged woman of average build, slightly plump, sitting in the hospital room in a daze. Upon receiving the news of her son's car accident, she immediately set everything aside and rushed to Anping Hospital. Now, she has been waiting for over two hours. The torment of waiting is something that cannot be understood without experiencing it firsthand. If it weren't for Nurse Xiao constantly comforting her, she might have recklessly rushed into the operating room.
Under the command of Yue Fei, there were countless fierce generals, including Yue Yun, Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, and Yang Zai Xing, each possessing the courage of a thousand men. However, among them, Xiao Bie Li stands out as the fiercest of the fierce, the vanguard of the vanguard
Nurse Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "The patient has no brain signals, which means he is almost brain dead"
The ward was enveloped in silence. After a long while, Lin Ping finally asked in a low voice: "How much hope is there left?"
Wanyan Lie's body trembled slightly, but he quickly returned to his usual demeanor and said in a calm voice: "It is said that Xiao Bieli's insight surpasses his swordsmanship. Now that I see it for myself, it is indeed true. However, although you can discern the depth of my internal energy, you do not know how confident you are in your ability to kill me"
Among the countless sword wielders in the world of rivers and lakes, there is but one who can wield such a heavy sword. He is Xiao Bieli, the foremost expert under General Yue, a natural talent of extraordinary ability. He has created the internal skill "Nine Separations and Eighteen Departures" and can wield a mysterious iron heavy sword weighing fifty-three pounds, which is without edge or blade, and no one can rival him
It is currently summer vacation, and it is noon; the school cannot be contacted at this moment, the nurse added
The blue light penetrated the patient's body without hesitation, vanishing from sight. Suddenly, the previously flat electroencephalogram (EEG) monitor began to fluctuate violently. In just a moment, the amplitude of the oscillating waveforms nearly exceeded the limits of the screen. With a soft sound of a "wave," the patient on the bed seemed to move slightly, and the EEG monitor abruptly went dark, falling silent.
Nurse Xiao nodded and called another nurse in, "Xiao Wang, take this patient's family member to see Dr. Qin"
And this person dressed as a wild man is none other than the first master of the Jin Kingdom, the Demon Blade Wanyan Lie
Aunt He! Nurse Xiao hurriedly helped her to sit down, "We... we have already done our best"
Lin Ping's heart had already sunk, akin to a death row inmate awaiting the judge's verdict, with despair already evident in his eyes
On the saddle of that person hung a thick-backed machete, measuring five feet in length, its surface glinting with a cold light, exuding a chilling aura.
A pair of eyes sparkled with a sharp light like a sword's edge. Xiao Bieli said in a deep voice: "Indeed, it has been three days since we last met, and I must view you in a new light. Three years ago, you were at the seventh level of 'No Wind, No Rise', and were far from being my match. I did not expect that in just three years, you have broken through four levels, and now you have reached the eleventh level of 'Thirteen Limitless', creating something out of nothing"
Lin Ping trembled all over, and Aunt He cried out heart-wrenchingly: "It won't happen, Xiao Fei." After shouting loudly, she was about to rush out.
The attending physician trembled slightly, but quickly regained composure, calmly operating the instruments in hand without any delay. After a moment, he completed the remaining suturing work, glanced swiftly at the electrocardiogram, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for defibrillation"
Dr. Qin was frowning, carefully examining the recently delivered brain CT scan of the injured patient, his expression unusually serious
Staring at the television before her, Aunt He appeared utterly bewildered, as if she were not seeing it at all
Nurse Xiao trembled all over, knowing that after issuing the critical illness notice, the injured person was basically without hope. Although it was not the first time she had done such a thing, each time felt unbearable, especially when considering how to face the middle-aged woman she had just comforted.
After a slight pause, Wanyan Lie coldly said: "Yang Zaiqing is already dead, one of the Five Tigers of the Yue Family has died, and you are next, the Sword of Asking Heaven, Xiao Bieli!"
On the left side, a large flag with a black background and golden edges is displayed, featuring the character "岳" inscribed in silver with an iron hook, its strokes vigorous and dynamic, seemingly ready to break free from the flag. The soldiers beneath it are arranged in a formation resembling a flock of wild geese, each holding a long spear. Behind them, dozens of crossbowmen are on high alert, maintaining their positions, all clad in heavy bronze armor, exuding an imposing presence. The Yue Family Army has always been known for its ability to take on a hundred foes single-handedly. In the past, during the battle at Niutou Mountain, General Yue led eight hundred of his troops to defeat tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. From that day forth, no one dared to underestimate the Yue Family Army.
Lin Ping trembled all over and murmured, "Brain death?" Unable to hold back the tears from the corners of his eyes any longer, the grief of losing a child in middle age was unimaginable, as life seemed to have lost its meaning from that moment on
A chill rose within me, and I vaguely understood the truth of that time. Some drivers today have lost even the most basic human conscience; after hitting a pedestrian, they do not seek to rescue them. Some even turn their vehicles around to hit the person several more times until they are dead, as it is said that compensating for a death is a final resolution. However, if the victim is a severely injured patient, it leads to endless troubles.
Lin Ping's heart not only grew heavier, but also felt somewhat cold
The distant sound of thunder gradually grew louder, one after another, sounding breathtakingly intense
"This is not good." An assistant suddenly exclaimed, "The patient's blood pressure is zero, and the heartbeat has stopped! But the electroencephalogram is normal?" In disbelief, the assistant rubbed his eyes and looked again at the instruments in front of him; it was indeed the case. How could this be possible?
Nurse Xiao Xiao, holding the critical illness notice, lingered at the door. After a moment of determination, she finally approached He Xiulan, who was anxiously waiting, and said, "Aunt He."
Wanyan Lie was taken aback for a moment, and after a long while, he said: "Not even a fraction."
Looking into those anxious and expectant eyes, Nurse Xiao felt a pang of sorrow, as if she were seeing her own mother, and she was unable to speak for a long time
The assistant, without observing the patient's condition, could tell from the attending physician's demeanor and level of busyness that the injured person's prognosis was not optimistic
The emergency light above the emergency room door instantly turned red, and within five minutes, all emergency personnel were ready and in position
"Traditionally, the cessation of heartbeat and respiration, known as respiratory and cardiac arrest, has been the standard for diagnosing death," Dr. Qin said, looking at Lin Ping. "However, experts have discovered that in a small number of special cases, patients with central nervous system damage can maintain respiration and heartbeat for a considerable period with the support of ventilators and cardiovascular drugs. Yet, extensive clinical research has shown that all resuscitation efforts for these patients ultimately end in failure, and all patients are doomed to die. This indicates that the previous understanding of death as the cessation of breathing and heartbeat is incomplete. Most deaths are not instantaneous events but rather a continuous process that may begin even before the cessation of respiration and heartbeat."
The first physiological characteristic of human life is the respiratory function, and the central nervous area that governs this function is located in the brainstem. From the CT scan, it is evident that the patient's brainstem has already bled. Dr. Qin said with a heavy tone, yet a hint of doubt arose within him. Based on his years of diagnostic experience, the patient had massive hemorrhaging in the thoracic cavity, and the brain had also suffered severe oscillation, which did not resemble a simple car accident; rather, it seemed as if the patient had been struck more than twice.
Shaking his head slowly, Xiao Bieli said: "No." After a slight pause, he added, "How confident are you in defeating me?"
Then contact the school. The attending physician was somewhat anxious
Doctor Qin, please speak your mind directly. Lin Ping said with a trembling voice: We will abide by the doctor's decision
Lin Ping slowly shook his head, "You take my wife; I need to see the attending physician first"
There is no contact information for family members on the injured person.
"Dr. Qin, the patient's blood pressure has risen, and there is a heartbeat signal, but it is very weak." The assistant suddenly stopped in shock, rubbed his eyes, and said, "But there is no signal from the brain waves!" After confirming that the equipment was not malfunctioning, the assistant finally said cautiously, "The patient is already brain dead"
Like seeing a savior, Aunt He grasped Nurse Xiao's arm tightly, "Nurse Xiao, how is my son?"
Ahead, a lone figure stands beside a horse, clad not in heavy armor, yet exuding an indescribable aura of desolation and might. A naked iron sword is slung diagonally at his waist, its hilt wrapped in silk cloth. The blade is astonishingly five fingers wide, three inches thick, and measures over five feet in length
She does not like this job, because although she can see patients improve, what she mostly witnesses are partings between life and death. Just now, she saw the anxious mother of an injured person, and she had just comforted her that everything would be fine. Yet in the blink of an eye, she had to hand her the death notice. For anyone, this is an unbearable situation
Nurse Xiao hesitated for a moment, "Yes, but you can only take a look from outside the observation room. If you agree, I can take you there now."
The attending physician is simultaneously performing a duodenectomy and liver repair surgery, with a high level of concentration, not daring to be the slightest bit careless
The instrument for the heartbeat test was originally close to a straight line, barely discernible to the naked eye. In the next moment, it suddenly began to tremble. Although slow and faint, it had already started to beat resolutely...
A great battle is imminent
