Chapter 9
Tractors are not fast, and sometimes they can’t compare to bicycles. It took more than an hour to get from the town to the city.

This time, Gu Jianan drove the tractor directly to the open space and put it away, and accompanied Gu Xi to send Gu Bei to the hospital. Ruan Yuxi ran behind them with a big bag.

Gu Bei lived here before, and Gu Xi came to visit and met the doctor. This time, he came directly to the doctor without registering.

The doctor who treated Gu Bei was a middle-aged male doctor. The male doctor looked a little serious. When he saw them, he scolded them for not caring about anything. He said that he had only returned for a few days and it became like this. Now that he was about to die, he sent him back. , This is a life, not something you can do whatever you want.

Gu Xi was so scolded that he could hardly lift himself up. Gu Jian'an wanted to say something nice to Gu Xi, but before he could speak, the doctor said all of him.

The two were like students in school, squatting in the corner and listening to the teacher's lecture.

The doctor's surname is Shen, and he is the director of the Department of Neurology.

As a doctor, he was very reluctant to let patients be discharged under such circumstances, but the family members of the patients insisted that he had no choice but to discharge them. However, it was not a month before and after the discharge, and the patients seemed to be getting more serious.

People who didn't know him thought he was dead when they saw him like that.

Although the chance of waking up is very slim, even if there is only a little hope, he does not want the patient's family to give up their lives at will. What he dislikes the most is that people do not respect life.

"Director Shen, we have deeply reflected on it. We did this wrong. We will definitely listen to Director Shen's words in the future." Ruan Yuxi's voice saved Gu Xi and Gu Jian'an from the admonition.

"Go to the inpatient surgery first, pay the money and then send the patient for a full-body examination." Originally, this money was unnecessary, but now I have to spend an extra sum. Director Shen also guessed that the family's conditions are not good, except A sigh is just a sigh.

"Yes, please ask Director Shen to make a bill, and we will pay the money right away." Ruan Yuxi's attitude has always been very good.

Only then did Director Shen notice her, his eyes were full of doubts, as if he was guessing what kind of relationship she had with the Gu family.

"I am Comrade Gu Bei's lover, please remind Director Shen more in the future."

It turned out to be like this, he said that the girl's temperament was different from that of the Gu family, she didn't look like a villager at first glance, but he didn't ask too much, it was the case that the girl didn't dislike Gu Bei, it was a good thing if she didn't get a divorce .

So he told Ruan Yuxi about Gu Bei's situation in earnest.

"We call him a vegetative person in this situation. The vegetative person is because the cerebral cortex function is severely damaged. The patient is in an irreversible deep coma state and loses consciousness. However, the subcortical center can maintain spontaneous breathing and heartbeat. This state is called a vegetative state. , A patient in this state is called a vegetative state. The possibility of his recovery from this state depends on the degree of injury.”

"Then is it possible for him to wake up?" Ruan Yuxi asked.

Director Shen was silent for a while, then handed her the opened several sheets, and then said, "The brainstem of a vegetative person still has functions. It can also digest and absorb nutrients when delivering nutrients to the body, and can also use these energy to maintain the body's metabolism. , including breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc. Some instinctive reflexes can also be produced to external stimuli, and patients are usually conscious and can hear us talking. If you have time, you can communicate with them more and talk more about what they are interested in Things or people who are worried about will help the disease, as for whether they can wake up, no one can guarantee that, so far, there are only one or two cases of vegetative people waking up in China, but there are quite a few abroad."

Ruan Yuxi: "..."

Gu Xi's eyes turned red when he heard this, how could the fourth child be so unlucky, being hit like this by someone, the fourth child is so pitiful.

"Director Shen, how much will it cost to maintain a situation like Gu Bei's?" Ruan Yuxi asked the most concerned question right now.

Gu Xi also paused for a moment, and looked at Director Shen together with Gu Jianan.

Director Shen thought for a while and said, "Pay a deposit of 1000 yuan first, and make up later if it is not enough. If... you can also refund it."

Ruan Yuxi fumbled in his pocket, got 900 from the family split, kept 300 at home, and only had 600 in his pocket. Of course, this was only given by the Gu family. When the original owner came here, the Ruan family also gave 500. Take it out, then she really only has 500 yuan left.

Do you want to take it out?
She glanced at Gu Xi, and Gu Xi immediately turned his gaze away. He was guilty. The fourth child was so kind to them before, but he couldn't help him. The 100 yuan from the family split was given to him by the child's mother when he went out today. up.

But is he really going to take it out?
He knew that the child's mother didn't want to live with everyone for a long time, and when they separated, they also said that they didn't want the family house and wanted to move out. If they didn't have the 100 yuan, they might not even be able to get the base.

Gu Xi gritted his teeth, even if he got the land, he wouldn't have the money to build a house for a while, so it's better to give it to the fourth child first.

Thinking of this, he turned his head again, and handed the big unity bundled up in his hand to Ruan Yuxi, saying, "Fourth siblings, we only have so much. Although it is very small, it is our heart, and there is no need to worry about the money." Let’s pay back, we’re not in a hurry.”

Ruan Yuxi didn't expect Gu Xi to take out the money, she was stunned for a moment, and took it bluntly, "Third Brother, Gu Bei and I will remember your kindness."

If she doesn't want the money, she has to take it, otherwise when she goes back, everyone will think she has a lot of money, and the loss outweighs the gain.

"Pay as much as you have. I will say hello later. The 1000 yuan is definitely not enough. You can think of a way. Otherwise, once the medicine is stopped, his condition will deteriorate again, and it will be difficult to save him."

After Director Shen finished speaking, he urged them to pay the money. Ruan Yuxi took out 600 yuan from his pocket (actually the space), plus the [-] that Gu Xi gave, and went to go through the hospitalization procedures first.

Over there, with the help of the nurse, Gu Xi and Gu Jian'an found a hospital bed, and followed Director Shen to start the examination.

Because of their special circumstances, the results came out quickly.

Director Shen watched the film and wanted to scold people, but finally endured it. Life is not easy for everyone, especially in the village. If you can spend a few hundred at a time, you are considered rich.

"The patient's condition is very bad. We need to help him recover in the early stage before proceeding to the next step."

"He can't swallow food now, what do we need to do?" Ruan Yuxi asked.

"The patient can't swallow, so if he wants to maintain his vital signs, he needs to inject liquid food regularly by inserting a gastric tube. Because he can't move, the digestion will be very slow, and the liquid food given each time is not much. Then inject once every two hours or so, and when making liquid food, try to use high-protein and vitamin-rich food."
