Death Spiral [Infinite Flow]

A group of doctors surrounded Director Qiao and were reporting his condition.The nurses began to clean up the mess, throwing away all the blood-stained cotton ball gauze disinfection towels.

Lian Qiao watched silently, feeling that Lonicera was like a fish that had been cut open on a chopping board.Therefore, all the hidden parts are exposed in front of people at a glance, without dignity.

That's what the ICU is like.Lian Qiao's mother is the chief director of the ICU. He has heard it for many years—in the ICU, life-saving is the most important thing. As for dignity?Everything has to give way to life!

What's more, although the ICU seems to have a large number of medical staff, it is actually still short of manpower.Everyone is too busy even to rescue them, so who cares whether you wear clothes or not and have privacy.

As long as a person enters the ICU, he will be forced to shed everything as a "human being" and instantly become a person with vital signs and various inspection values...

"biology".

Lian Qiao knew this very well, but he still couldn't help being heartbroken.

He knew that honeysuckle was the most face-saving, and he would carefully button the top button of his shirt even when he was wearing it.How could he endure being stared at from beginning to end?

How could he accept himself... not to be seen as a "human"?

So Lian Qiao quickly covered Lonicera with a quilt the moment the nurse finished cleaning up, covering his miserable and undignified body.

My fingers accidentally touched the honeysuckle, and the place where I touched it was icy cold.

Lian Qiao's heart felt like being repeatedly drilled and crushed by a screwdriver.He knew that Lian Dong suffered all these hardships because of him, but how could he atone for his sin?

He has no way to suffer for Lonicera, he can't even alleviate the slightest pain for Lonicera.

He could only watch the needle point pierce the skin of Honeysuckle again and again, and watch the cold potion pour into the veins of Honeysuckle.He couldn't even hug him and comfort him.

——Because Honeysuckle couldn't hear.

Honeysuckle's eyes were closed tightly, and her long eyelashes drooped like two small brushes.His face was bloodless, like a bone china doll that had been sealed for a hundred years, with a shocking brutal beauty.

Lian Qiao wanted to touch his face.He just stretched out his hand, but was stopped by his mother.

"Wear gloves!" Lian Qiao's mother's face darkened, and her tone suddenly became fierce, "Don't touch him with dirty hands! What about your aseptic principle!"

Startled, Lian Qiao quickly withdrew his hand.The nurse next to him sensibly handed over the gloves, and Lian Qiao put them on awkwardly, but didn't dare to act rashly anymore.

Lian Qiao's mother's expression softened: "You can accompany him, but you must always remember the principle of sterility." As she spoke, her voice became gentler, "He is very weak now and cannot withstand infection. So You have to be very careful with him."

Lian Qiao finally realized his powerlessness.

He can't do anything.He could only stand obediently by the side and listen to everyone discussing Lonicera's condition.

The monitor still beeps once or twice from time to time, either because the blood pressure has dropped or the heart rate has increased.The doctors at the bedside adjusted the doctor's orders from time to time, and the nurses carried them out on the spot, and finally managed to maintain Lonicera's vital signs.

Everyone discussed for about ten minutes, and Director Qiao's expression became more serious.

Lian Qiao couldn't understand the technical terms, just seeing his mother's face made his heart ache again.

Before everyone could reach a conclusion from the discussion, a phone rang suddenly at the nurse's desk.The voice sounded like a urging, which startled Lian Qiao.

The nurse answered the phone, answered a few words, then raised her head and shouted: "Director Qiao! Critical!"

Lian Qiao's mother frowned, walked quickly to the nurse's station, took the receiver and chatted with the other end of the phone.The doctors by the bed took out their mobile phones one after another.

Lian Qiao was scared out of his wits by the word "critical value", his lips trembled, but he didn't dare to ask questions.He looked around in panic, and saw young doctors clicking on electronic test sheets one after another on the mobile app.Even Qiao couldn't read the words on it clearly, he saw red arrows all over his eyes.Up and down, like a chaotic heartbeat on a monitor.

The young doctors discussed in low voices.Lian Qiao couldn't understand, so he could only grab the railing beside the bed, anxiously waiting for his mother to explain to him.

At this point, he finally understood how the family members waiting outside the ICU felt.

Time is like stagnant mud, dragging Lian Qiao into the abyss of anxiety bit by bit.After an unknown amount of time, my mother finally hung up the phone, turned around and walked here.

Lian Qiao looked at her uneasily.

However, the mother didn't look at him, but turned to ask the doctor who performed the puncture: "Is the doctor seriously ill?"

The young doctor said: "It's done."

Lian's mother said, "Change to critical illness."

Lian Qiao's expression changed drastically.

Even people with no medical knowledge know what it means to change from a serious illness to a critical illness.

At this time, Xu Rendong has received the best advanced life support in the ICU: endotracheal intubation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, pressurized blood transfusion, and large doses of rescue medicine.But even so, his heartbeat, blood pressure, pulse oxygen, and several vital signs all fluctuated up and down.

Not to mention Lian Qiao, he is a blind man, and he knew that Lonicera was going to die just by hearing the alarm from the monitor.

Lian Qiao's heart was beating wildly, and he looked at his mother in panic: "Mom...he..." His expression was helpless and terrified, as if he was not a 25-year-old adult at the moment, but a weak man who was afraid of being left behind. toddler.

The young doctor at the side suddenly came up and whispered to Director Qiao: "Director, no one has signed the critical illness notice..."

Mother Lian said in a deep voice: "I know. Report to the medical department, deal with it according to the procedures for no family members, and open a green channel for him. First rescue and then talk."

Lian Qiao was shocked, realizing that Liandong needed him, which made him regain his adult status in an instant.He gritted his teeth and emphasized: "I can sign! He is an orphan and cannot find any immediate family members! I can just sign!"

Mother Lian frowned, and stretched out her hand to pull him: "Come on, come with me to the office."

Lian Qiao grabbed the bed rail tightly: "No, I want to stay here!"

Mother Lian said in a deep voice, "I have something to tell you."

Lian Qiao still refused to let go, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "I know...but I can't leave him, I really...Mom, please."

Mother Lian sighed.The surrounding medical staff also walked away knowingly, leaving only Lian Qiao and his mother beside Lian Dong's bed.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lian's mother lowered her voice, stared at the monitor, and said to Lian Qiao with a serious expression, "Signing is a legal responsibility, why do you make decisions for his family?"

Lian Qiao blurted out: "But he has no family members! He only has me!"

Mother Lian narrowed her eyes and looked at him with burning eyes.

The matter has come to this point, Lian Qiao doesn't plan to hide it any more: "Mom, in fact, he and I..."

Unexpectedly, Lian's mother was not surprised, but interrupted him by raising her hand: "There is no need to explain. Your father already told me on the way I came here. You both died in love to show your ambition. Your father and I will return to you." What can I say?"

Lian Qiao was dumbfounded.He didn't expect that his parents had acquiesced in his relationship with Xu Rendong.It's just that this permission came too late, and the price was too high.

Lian Mu looked at him looking like a whale, shook her head and said: "You haven't found a girlfriend for so many years, I have long suspected that you are gay, it is not good to ask you directly." Then she said helplessly, "Tell me about you , if you want to find a boyfriend, just look for it, at least find someone with a healthy family! What's the matter with finding an orphan?"

Lian Qiao refused to accept, "What's wrong with the orphan!"

Mother Lian: "He has no place to cry when he is wronged by you in the future, so I can only make the decision for him!"

Lian Qiao: "???" Why is the direction of the plot different from what he imagined?

"Speaking of which," Lian Qiao's mother suddenly said seriously, "although your father and I can accept it, your relationship is not recognized by the law. If you want to sign for him now, you can only sign as a friend. This means What do you understand?"

Lian Qiao thought for a moment, then nodded.

Friends, after all, are not spouses.At this time, Liandong had no immediate family members around him, so Lian Qiao could naturally sign for him as a friend.But if something goes wrong in the future, Liandong's company leaders, the director of the orphanage, and even the biological father who killed a thousand knives can all come to him to settle accounts.

There is no doubt that even Joe will spare no effort to save Honeysuckle as long as there is a chance of survival.But what if?

In case one day fails, in case he will lose Lonicera in the end, can he bear another blame in the pain of widowhood?

——Criticisms from other relatives and friends of Lonicera?

If those people really came to the door, not only Qiao, but even the hospital where Qiao's parents were located would be dragged into trouble.Today, when the relationship between doctors and patients is so tense, once the hospital is sued in court, not only will it be forced to pay huge sums of money to settle the matter, but it will also be given the notoriety of neglecting human life.

And the special relationship between Lian Qiao and Lian Dong will make Lian Dong suffer from ridicule and criticism after death, which will make Lian Qiao's pain even higher.

In fact, it is precisely because of these considerations that Lian Qiao's parents have been reluctant to let him sign.

But after thinking about it, Lian Qiao solemnly said to his mother: "I am willing to take all the responsibilities, let me sign."

Lian's mother sighed: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't sign this letter. You don't have to worry about the rescue. We will provide the treatment that needs to be given. It doesn't matter whether you sign this letter or not. To tell you the truth, he Although the situation is serious, we have seen it a lot in the ICU. After all, he is young, as long as his vital signs can be stabilized and he is on the operating table, there is a high probability that his life can be saved. So there is no need for you at all..."

Lian Qiao shook his head and interrupted his mother slowly and firmly: "Mom, I understand. But I want to take this responsibility for him. Even if the law does not recognize our relationship, we have already recognized each other as partners in our hearts. If If I retreat here now, even if he wakes up, I will have no face to face him."

"No matter what the result is, I just ask for a clear conscience. I am willing to take all responsibility for this."

"Mom, you can help me."

Mother Lian was silent.

Lian Qiao anxiously waited for his mother's answer.Although whether his parents agree or not, he has to take this responsibility for Lonicera.But he still wants the support of his parents if he can.

No matter what the future holds, he hopes that Lonicera can be recognized by his family.

Liandong was an orphan since he was a child, and he never knew what it was like to be loved by his parents.Although they later met Zhong Xiu, they didn't get along for a while, and Zhong Xiu left him again.

The missing piece in his life can never be made up.

So Lian Qiao always wanted to give him a home.It's not a small family with just the two of them, but a complete family with parents and elders.

He hoped that his parents could truly accept Lonicera, instead of being forced to accept him under the threat of life and death.

However, the mother just stared at Lian Qiao with a complicated expression, as if she wanted to look into his soul through his eyes.

Even Qiao was stared at by his mother like an ant on a steamer, unable to escape, and unable to die for a while.It just hangs in the air without going up or down.

I do not know how long, the mother finally sighed.

"Okay. If you want to die, then do it."

With the spared no efforts of all the medical staff in the ICU, Xu Rendong's vital signs finally temporarily stabilized.Lian Qiao quickly signed the signature, and accompanied Liandong into the operating room.

The operation was arranged by the director of the Lian University long ago. The whole hospital was in a major rescue operation.

Xu Rendong's situation is very complicated.First of all, he was injured by falling from a height, which caused more than half of his bones to be broken and his brain was also damaged. The CT scan was fine, the amount of cerebral hemorrhage was not too much, and a craniotomy could be done.

There are two problems: one is that Xu Rendong has a lot of internal bleeding.Various organs were ruptured to varying degrees, so that his stomach was slightly bulging, and it was full of blood.For this reason, Director Lian applied for a large number of blood transfusions for him, all the way from the emergency department to the ICU, and there was a truckload of intraoperative blood in the operating room.

The second problem is that Xu Rendong has a history of heart disease.This creates two big problems.One is that his heart may not be able to withstand a large amount of infusion in a short period of time, and heart failure may occur at any time during the operation.Another is the risk of anesthesia. In the worst case, he will go into cardiac arrest as soon as the anesthetic is administered.At that time, not only will the operation not be possible, but the heartbeat may not be able to be restored, and he will die directly on the stage.

After listening to his father's explanation, Lian Qiao expressed his understanding, and then announced: "Do it. I will take care of what happens."

Director Lian became angry again when he heard it, and roared angrily: "You put it lightly, you are responsible for what happened! Could it be that your mother and I can leave it alone? No, I will still give it to you when the time comes." Wipe your ass?"

Lian Qiao thought for a while: Then I can only apologize with death.

He said this very seriously, as if he was ready to die at any time, and he didn't know who he learned from.This attitude of not caring about his own life made Director Lian so angry that he raised his palm on the spot to beat him up.

Unexpectedly, before the slap fell on him, Lian Qiao shook his whole body, and fell down with a plop.

Lian Qiao's father: "???" How dare you touch your father?

The little doctors around hurried over, took out a blood pressure monitor, and were shocked: "Director Lian is not good! Blood pressure is 50/30! Your son is in hemorrhagic shock!"
