Daily American Drama

the next day.

medical center.

ward.

I heard that last night was thrilling?

Dr. Burke walked over to take a look at the medical records updated last night.

Yes.

Danny smiled weakly and said: My choice is indeed right, thanks to Dr. Duncan's several rescues, otherwise I would have gone to heaven now. Of course I believe in the beauty of heaven, but obviously I don't want to go there right now.

Well done, Dr. Duncan.

After reading the updated medical records, Dr. Burke expressed affirmation and appreciation for Adam's several rescue records last night.

If any other intern was in charge of the bed, he must have been called in his sleep last night.

Only those with Adam's strength have the confidence to rescue him first, and then consider whether to call him or not.

To have such an assistant, Dr. Burke had to admit, was a pleasure sometimes.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The experience of being forced to stand by and help Adam last time was not so pleasant.

The situation is still not optimistic.

Adam said: Danny had acute pulmonary edema and I switched him to congestive heart failure medication and CPAP and it stabilized for a while, but he needed a new heart and quickly.

New heart.

Danny said weakly: I've been waiting for a year and a half, and I've made mistakes several times. How long can I wait this time?

It's short, and you can't expect low-probability events.

Adam suggested, I'd recommend getting a left ventricular assist device, which is a battery-operated machine that assists the heart's activity, to help you gain an extra two years.

yes.

Dr. Burke nodded: Dr. Duncan is right. We can't pin our hopes on small probability events. No one knows when the new heart you need will appear, so you need more time to wait.

Organ transplantation is very about relationships and luck.

The relationship is self-evident.

Doctor House next door often snatches transplanted organs that should belong to others.

That's because the female dean is his admirer, and his successful experience of cheating every time also gives him enough face to let the female dean use her relationship to grab an organ for him.

But Danny clearly has no such relationship.

Although he should be wealthy, he is only at the level of a multi-millionaire at most, and definitely not at the level of a billionaire.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited a year and a half for a new heart.

The real rich people must have spent money or found a relationship to replace their new heart in the first place. How could they be foolish waiting to die there?

As for Adam, the bed doctor, he naturally has the ability to help Danny.

But unfortunately not to that point.

+0.01 lifespan can be obtained by rescuing any patient in the emergency department. Adam will not go to war for a Danny, wasting time, energy and money, let alone talk about it.

In theory, this is also immoral and illegal.

Danny is just an ordinary patient, and he is not his own person in his heart, so he is not worth so much.

then.

Danny can only hope for luck now.

A small probability event such as luck needs enough time to accumulate to increase the probability.

Battery operated?

Danny said humorously: I knew you wanted to turn me into a robot, it was part of your evil plan to usurp the hospital, right?

hehe.

Dr. Burke agreed with a smile.

Do not.

Adam smiled and said: You should be more optimistic, just imagine, isn't your current situation very similar to Iron Man Tony Stark's situation?

It's all battery powered.

But this is just a turning point in your life.

Your life may become more exciting.

And what you have more advantage than him is that you don't need to risk life and death, complete the transformation in fear, and get out of the control of the battery.

Today, or tomorrow, you may wake up with good news, a new heart, and a new lease of life.

All you need to do now is to buy yourself more time.

Oh, well said.

Danny smiled and said, Although I don't know who Iron Man is, I understand, thank you, Dr. Duncan, but there is no risk in installing this battery and turning yourself into a robot?

At this time, the Iron Man live-action movie has not yet come out, and Iron Man, who is only a second-line hero in Marvel Comics, actually not many people know about it.

But just like Chinese characters do not need to be sorted correctly in many cases, people can understand them.

What Adam meant, Danny understood.

Of course there are certain risks.

Dr. Burke explained: It will increase the damage to the platelets, and the bleeding will also increase. If you choose to install this auxiliary device, you need to wait until the new heart is transplanted before you can leave the hospital for emergency rescue at any time.

Are there any other options?

Danny smiled wryly.

No.

Adam shook his head: There are gains and losses, nothing is perfect, at this moment, the most important thing is to survive first.

And being in the hospital all the time is less boring than you might think.

We interns spend almost every day in the hospital, so that the hospital must issue mandatory regulations, not allowing us to stay in the hospital all the time, and driving us out of the hospital.

The key is to have direction.

Taking advantage of this period of hospitalization, you can find something suitable for you to do.

Just put in the time and the time will pass quickly.

Professor Hawking suffers from Parkinson's and is sitting in a wheelchair without any hope of recovery. His speech and question-and-answer can only be done through a voice synthesizer, which does not hinder his will to travel through time and space in the sea of ​​stars and become the idol of many people. It's delicious.

Sickness can only trap a person's body, not his consciousness.

Not to mention that you still have hope of recovery, maybe when you achieve your set goals, your new heart will also come, double happiness, isn't such a future worth looking forward to?

How can I compare with Professor Hawking?

Danny laughed at himself first, and then looked at Adam: But Dr. Duncan, you are right. This kind of double happiness in the future is indeed worth looking forward to. It's just that before making a decision, can I meet Liz first?

why?

Before Dr. Burke nodded, Adam asked directly.

Because I want to see her, so that I have more hope and motivation to live...

Danny was taken aback.

I don't recommend you do that.

Adam shook his head: Is your courage to persevere just for a woman you fell in love with at first sight?

It is not enough!

After this kind of operation, it may take one day, or one or two years before we can see hope.

Waiting for such a long time, you only count on the emotional maintenance of love at first sight?

We all know that love, especially love at first sight, is completely caused by hormones.

But your body just won't allow it.

Now you pin your hope and motivation on this relationship, and over time, you will be very painful and unable to hold on.

Because a strong man is trapped inside a weak body, unable to move, it is absolutely a terrible torture.

So when you first decide to kill your waiting time, you should abandon hormones and focus on higher-level spiritual pursuits.

Only in this way can we get through these supposedly difficult waiting times with peace of mind.

Rest assured, you can do it.

If you've been single for a long time, your hormones will be dull. You haven't seen many people who are not in love or married for a lifetime and are fine.

This is still scientific.

We have to believe in science.
