Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 7 [Father’s Love]

six in the morning.

emergency room.

In the emergency room at this moment, the old man was lying quietly on the emergency bed. At this moment, the gastric lavage had been completed, dialysis had been performed, and detoxification drugs had been administered through intravenous infusion.

Under these measures, the old man slowly regained consciousness and briefly woke up.

The old man slowly opened his eyes and saw Zhao Sheng standing beside the hospital bed. Knowing that he was in the hospital at this time, he sighed inaudibly, as if he was very unwilling to wake up again.

"Dr. Zhao, the results of the blood gas analysis are out."

At this moment, Song Wei came in with a blood gas analysis sheet and said to Zhao Sheng.

"Ah."

Zhao Sheng nodded, took the blood gas analysis report, and read it carefully.

[Blood gas analysis: pH 7.08, carbon dioxide partial pressure 26.2 mmHg, oxygen partial pressure 106, oxygen saturation 98, sodium 143, potassium 4.2, calcium 1.10, chlorine 111, lactic acid 18.81 mmol per liter, carbonate 7.68, alkali Remaining minus 22.4, anion gap 30]

Seeing this blood gas analysis report, especially the lactic acid level as high as 18.81mmol/L, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Lactic acid is an organic compound, mainly derived from red blood cells and muscles, which can reflect biochemical indicators of anaerobic metabolism and circulatory disorders of the body. Generally speaking, the normal value of lactic acid is 0.5-1.7mmol/L.

The lactic acid level of 18.81mmol/L indicates that the old man in front of him has entered a dying state where all the oil and lamps are exhausted. In other words, the old man in front of him may have less than 24 hours of life left.

Immortals are hard to save!
Zhao Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Modern medicine is indeed very advanced, but it is far from being able to bring people back to life.

"I'm going out. You can keep an eye on the situation here."

Zhao Sheng said to Song Wei.

"it is good."

Song Wei also nodded. In the emergency room, you can see scenes like this every day.

So far, there are no professional hospice care providers in China. Therefore, the work of hospice care and comforting family members is generally done by the attending doctor.

Soon, Zhao Sheng took the blood gas analysis checklist and left the emergency room.

As soon as he came out, the old man's three children surrounded him.

"Doctor, how is my dad?"

Big Brother asked Zhao Sheng. He was also 60 years old and a grandfather.

Originally, the old man was already a grandfather. Four generations lived under the same roof and could enjoy family happiness. However, he died of taking medicine like this. Thinking about it makes people feel very regretful.

"You have to be mentally prepared, the situation is not very optimistic."

Zhao Sheng shook his head slightly and said.

As an emergency doctor, I have to say this many times every year. As a doctor, Zhao Sheng is more willing to tell patients and their families good news than bad news.

"Doctor, how long can my dad last?"

The eldest brother asked again, he was always older and for now, he was relatively calm.

"Soon, no more than 24 hours at most."

Zhao Sheng said with some regret.

Everyone is destined to die. When they are over 80 years old, many people are actually ready to face death. However, the old man chose to take medicine as a way to die. On the surface, it seems that he has chosen self-liberation, but on a deeper level, it is not the same. A silent and very strong resistance!

"dad!!"

Hearing Zhao Sheng's words, the second sister could no longer hold back and cried. Just now she had only been scolding and condemning her brother, but her old father was really leaving, and she felt truly sad now.

"Doctor, can we take the person away?"

The younger brother's expression was very complicated, including regret, relief, sadness, and more importantly, a feeling of losing his parent.His old father, who had pampered him, protected him and given him everything since he was a child, took medicine at his home. This was undoubtedly a huge irony for him, who had been the most pampered since he was a child.

"Would you like to stop treating me?"

After hearing this, the eldest brother relaxed his tense expression and asked tentatively again.

Although the results are already very obvious.

"I'm still suffering in the hospital. It's better to go back and let dad go home at least."

The second sister said while wiping away tears.

"Doctor, can we go in now?"

The younger brother asked Zhao Sheng.

At this time, he realized that he had many things to say to his old father, although it was already too late.

Zhao Sheng didn't say anything, stepped aside, and the three of them entered the emergency room.

In the rescue room, although the old man was still very weak, he had woken up. He opened his eyes and looked at the three children who came in. He immediately turned his head to the side, as if he was very reluctant to see the three children. After a moment, But he stared at his younger son with hateful and loving eyes.

"Dad, why are you so confused and why do you take medicine!"

Seeing the frail and dying old father, the second sister couldn't bear it any longer, lying beside the hospital bed and crying.

In the eyes of the second sister, taking medicine means that the old father is old and [confused].

"I...I'm not...confused."

After hearing his daughter's words, the old man said weakly and laboriously.

He had thought clearly, so he put on the shroud he had prepared long ago, bought paper goods, burned the paper, took medicine, and then quietly waited for death.

He did this to die with dignity!

When a person is old and useless, he is kicked around like a ball by his children.

"Go back home!"

The old man said again with great effort.

"Okay, let's go home, go home."

The second sister wiped away her tears, took the old man's hand, nodded firmly and said.

To everyone's surprise, the old man struggled to shake off his second sister's hand, pointed at his youngest son, and said weakly: "Guo... Guo... Guowei, go home."

As soon as the old man said this, everyone was shocked, especially the youngest son. He had been tense before, but he couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down and burst into tears in an instant, crying loudly: "Dad !!”

"Dad, if you don't go back to his house, he will force you to take medicine!"

The second sister was stunned when her old father's hand was thrown away. Her incomprehension reached its peak all of a sudden, and she blurted out without caring about anything else.

"No...no, forced to die...in...Guo Wei's house."

Hearing his daughter's serious accusation against his youngest son, the old man shook his head and tried his best to explain.

As soon as the old man said these words, Zhao Sheng immediately understood the cause and effect.

The old man didn't want to live anymore, so he wanted to die at the home of his favorite youngest son, and by his side. In other words, he was afraid that his youngest son wouldn't be around when he died, so he chose to take medicine at his youngest son's house.

It was not what everyone thought before. It was his younger son who abused him and forced him to take medicine.

"Dad! I was wrong! I am a beast, I failed to live up to expectations!!"

Hearing what the old father said, the youngest son's emotions suddenly exploded. Tears and runny nose were mixed together. He slapped his mouth hard and cried.
