"Wife, Mom..."
A weak voice echoed in the quiet hospital room, yet it struck like thunder in the minds of everyone present!
Zhang Ling turned around and saw that her husband, though still frail, had opened his eyes!
Overwheld, she wanted to stand up, but her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.
However, the first one to walk beside Sun Jian was still his mother!
Fan Qinghua hadn’t slept well these past couple of days, yet her eyes were bright and spirited at this mont because Sun Jian was her very essence!
The baby, just put to sleep in the stroller, started crying loudly all of a sudden.
As if sensing that his father had woken up, he wanted to get up to see him too.
Zhang Ling quickly wiped her tears, picked up the baby, and walked to the bedside.
"Sweetheart, look, Daddy is awake! Say hi to Daddy! Give Daddy a kiss!"
Clearly, the baby couldn’t understand these words, nor could he call out to Daddy or understand what giving a kiss ant.
Upon seeing this, Sun Jian smiled, the paleness of his face and the flush on his cheeks made the smile even more blissful as he watched his wife hold the child to kiss him. Sun Jian imdiately said:
"No... no... I’m a patient, don’t let the child catch anything!"
Sun Jian was just an ordinary man; he didn’t know that liver failure isn’t contagious, he only wanted to be cautious for the child’s sake.
"It’s good that you’re awake, that’s all that matters..."
Fan Qinghua kept repeating this phrase, suddenly rembering sothing: "Son, are you thirsty? Do you want so water?"
Sun Jian shook his head: "Mom, no, I’m fine."
The nurse, upon learning of Sun Jian’s sudden awakening, joyfully ran to the doctor’s office: "Dr. Li, Sun Jian is awake!"
The mont these words were spoken, the attending physician, Dr. Li, brightened up and imdiately stood and headed to the patient’s room.
"Go inform Director Zhang!"
With these words, he hurriedly walked towards the patient’s room.
It’s good news when a patient wakes up!
Upon hearing that Sun Jian was awake, Zhang Huimin’s eyes also brightened.
The Hepatology Departnt didn’t have an ICU, so they could only dispatch nurses for temporary monitoring.
Zhang Huimin, as the head of Hepatology, had extensive research in liver diseases.
He and Gao Ronghua, both inside and outside, were like the guardians of the ergency center’s hepato-biliary system.
Zhang Huimin entered the patient’s room, and upon seeing Sun Jian, couldn’t help but furrow his brows!
It seed sothing wasn’t quite right!
He quickly said, "Dr. Li, get the ventilator!"
This sentence left the attending physician montarily stunned!
Before his words were even finished, Zhang Huimin picked up the phone: "Dialysis room, this is Zhang Huimin. We have a patient here, prepare for semi-perable mbrane dialysis."
The opposite party quickly nodded: "Yes, Director Zhang!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Huimin spoke to the nurse: "Go to the operating room and find Director Gao!"
The nurse knew that Director Gao was none other than Gao Ronghua from the Hepato-biliary Surgery Departnt, one of the most trusted by Director Zhang!
Over the years, the two had indeed worked harmoniously to preserve patients’ lives!
This was also the brilliance of Wu Tongpu!
The ergency center’s core was defense, to keep patients alive, then treat or transfer them.
However, Zhang Huimin’s actions left the attending physician dumbfounded!
Because... Director Zhang’s actions were all about resuscitation!
But hadn’t the patient already woken up?
Seeing Zhang Huimin arrive, Sun Jian’s mother quickly stood up and said, "Director, he’s awake!"
Sun Jian’s wife also showed joy on her face because, to them, awakening marked a turning point!
Sun Jian also smiled at Zhang Huimin.
But at this mont, Zhang Huimin quickly said to the nurse: "Intravenous drip of Acetylglutamine!"
The nurse imdiately nodded, and the attending physician went to fetch the ventilator.
Fan Qinghua couldn’t help but ask: "Director Zhang, what’s... what’s happening? What’s really going on?"
Zhang Huimin couldn’t help but say: "This isn’t a healthy awakening, to be precise, it’s more like a last flicker before death!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned!
Even the nurses and doctors there were taken aback on the spot!
Sun Jian, after hearing this, started to breathe more rapidly, his eyes filled with despair!
His wife Zhang Lingling and his mother Fan Qinghua visibly turned pale!
"Director Zhang, are you joking..." Fan Qinghua felt like she was asking a clueless question!
But Zhang Huimin understood, and couldn’t help but say:
"This is a response during the critical phase of compensatory imbalance, when life’s journey is about to end, the body mobilizes its internal potentials for the final struggle in dying periods.
The chemical energy adenosine triphosphate stored in the cells, yet to be completely consud, rapidly converts to adenosine diphosphate, thus releasing a large amount of energy at once to supply organs and tissues.
In particular, the power of the nervous and endocrine systems’ stress, the hypothalamus and pituitary urge the adrenal cortex to secrete large amounts of adrenaline and corticosteroids imdiately, the sympathetic nerve’s excitent also heightens."
After saying this, Zhang Huimin looked at Sun Jian, whose face, although pale, cheeks were flush, breathing rapid, with noticeable increase in blood pressure and heart rate.
Zhang Huimin, with his years of clinical experience, almost made the judgnt the mont he entered!
The Hepatology Departnt had seen many critically ill cases, and many severe patients showed different signs before death.
Such a last flicker before death wasn’t easy to see, but he had indeed witnessed it!
Additionally, he had just seen Sun Jian’s test results from the previous day, which made such a quick recovery seem impossible.
Did they really think acute liver failure was a joke?
Upon hearing Zhang Huimin’s words, the room instantly fell silent.
The silence was pierced only by Sun Jian’s wheezing.
Was he really going to die?
Was there really no chance left?
Tears rolled down Zhang Ling’s face instantly, she wanted to cry, but...she just sobbed without sound!
Fan Qinghua suddenly cald down at this mont, tears in her eyes: "Doctor, is there anything that can be done? Is there really no solution?"
Zhang Huimin shook his head: "We will do our best!"
"You can talk amongst yourselves first!"
The nurse here also rushed to administer the intravenous drip of Acetylglutamine.
Urgent blood ammonia tests from the lab also ca back, confirming high levels!
At this mont, the patient’s body was already in tabolic disarray, threatening his internal environnt, making it unsustainable!
Semi-perable mbrane dialysis could provide so help.
The ventilator then had to be brought in.
Sun Jian seed to realize sothing different in his body, he suddenly laughed, looking at his wife, his child, his mother, and at this beautiful world.
Tears dripped one by one down his face.
He was deeply attached to this world and dearly missed the beauty of life.
Unfortunately...at his happiest mont, he might have to leave!
