C462 Relinquish Treatment
"The more accurate term is' dissolution '. Previously, when we came into contact with related cases, although the body of a child with brain death was still growing after brain death, but later on, after giving up the treatment, it was found that the child's brain had completely dissolved and there were no signs of it functioning. So no matter how hard Mr. Mu Silee persisted, the patient's brain will always develop in this direction.
The doctor saw that Qin Ruoqing was interested in this word, so he explained it in detail.
"Then... "Now, everyone is saying that Mu Rushuang is in her 'vegetative state' …" Qin Ruoqing could not imagine what it would look like to have her brain dissolve.
"When the patient was admitted to the hospital, he underwent an automatic breath test. The patient could only breathe through the ventilator, and once the auxiliary breathing was stopped, the spontaneous breathing would not recover. In addition, the patient's electrical activity was measured not long ago, the electrical activity of the patient's brain has already disappeared."
The doctor slowly pointed to the side. All the examinations that Mu Rushuang had done were piled up in the corner and were no less than half a meter tall.
"If there's a cure, we doctors won't say anything bad. Although the current state is' vegetable ', that's because Mr. Mu Silee doesn't agree to make a brain death judgement. If he doesn't give up, then we have no choice but to provide blood pressure maintaining drugs every day, as well as continuous respiratory support."
Qin Ruoqing understood the terms even without the doctor saying them. After all, she was also a medical staff member.
The determination of brain death in our country meets three conditions: one is irreversible deep coma, the other is spontaneous respiratory arrest, and the third is the disappearance of brainstem reflex.
Mu Silee did not agree with the doctor to do the brainstem reflex test. As long as the test is not done for a day, in his opinion, Mu Rushuang is still alive.
Seeing that Qin Ruoqing did not say anything, the doctor repeated, "You guys can talk to him. As the attending physician, I have given up hope."
"..."
Leaving the doctor's office, Qin Ruoqing stood outside the ward and silently looked at Mu Silee's back.
Qin Ruoqing understood Mu Silee's unwillingness and his unwillingness to give up.
However, after looking at her back for such a long time, Qin Ruoqing had a different feeling every time she looked at her.
At first it was heartache, but later it became a variety of thoughts.
Now, as Qin Ruoqing looked at his back, she thought of Mu Silee who always seemed to cherish only the people she was about to lose.
This way, he would only be able to live in sorrow forever. He would not be able to move forward, and would also constantly lose his life. In his eyes, there was neither him nor his father.
Wasn't it the people who were still by his side that should be treasured the most?
"..."
Qin Ruoqing's wild imagination lasted for a while before she calmed down.
When he came back to his senses, Qin Ruoqing was already standing behind Mu Silee.
"Silee, the doctor recommends that you take a brainstem reaction test." Qin Ruoqing said indifferently.
"Oh, got it." Mu Silee replied emotionlessly.
Qin Ruoqing didn't know what he meant by that.
Did he undergo a brain death assessment test?
Or was it because he asked too tactfully that Mu Silee didn't listen carefully?
After staying with Mu Rushuang for a year, it was impossible for Mu Silee to not understand the meaning behind his words.
Not long after, the doctor hurriedly carried Mu Rushuang onto the stretcher, carried the breathing aid machine with her, and pushed her into the testing room.
Qin Ruoqing didn't have the courage to ask Mu Silee in detail what he was thinking, so she could only wait in silence.
About an hour later, the doctor was the first to leave the room.
"Mr. Mu Silee, your sister's brainstem reaction test results are out." After a pause, the doctor said expressionlessly, "The result, is, there is no reaction. 90% of the brain area is blue, meaning there is no reaction."1
"Brain death judgment, all three results are out, right?" Mu Silee looked up, his blood-red eyes did not match his calm tone.
The doctor lowered his head, dissuaded by the look. He nodded faintly and left timidly.
"Silee, give up." Qin Ruoqing said bluntly.
Mu Silee glanced back at Qin Ruoqing. That look in his eyes was something that Qin Ruoqing could remember for the rest of her life — In his eyes, there was an indescribable dark storm.
Mu Rushuang returned to the bed. The doctor slowly removed Mu Rushuang's breath mask. After a few seconds, the electrocardiogram issued a warning sound. Finally, the heart rate map showed a straight line.
"Woo woo …" A soft whimper came from the corner of the ward's door. It was Mu Liancheng, who was trying his best to hold back his sobs.
"Mu Rushuang died at 7: 31 a.m. on May 15."
The doctor reported Mu Rushuang's death in a tone he was accustomed to. A few doctors hurriedly covered Mu Rushuang's face with white cloths.
Mu Liancheng squatted in the corner with a dejected look.
The black shadow made Mu Liancheng realize that the person standing in front of him seemed to be Kang Mobei. Raising his teary eyes, Mu Liancheng saw that the person standing in front of him was Kang Mobei.
Kang Mobei stood still and looked inside the ward through the window. The sound of the linear alarm was both familiar and ear-piercing. Kang Mobei thought of his grandpa. That day, the same sound announced that grandpa would never open his eyes again.
That day, Kang Mobei made the choice to give up treatment. Today, Mu Silee also made the same decision.
He guessed that under the same choice, their feelings were exactly the same as his.
"Silee..." Qin Ruoqing stood beside Mu Silee and whispered.
Mu Silee did not have any reaction until the doctor pushed Mu Rushuang's body away. He did not dare to stand up, afraid that he would fall down due to the weakness of his legs in front of others. He did not look strong like that.
Receiving no response from Mu Silee, Qin Ruoqing spoke again with a worried tone.
"Silee, you are always like this. You only know how to cherish something when you are about to lose it. This is no good, grieve for your sister again. You still have a father to cherish. Also … Me. "
The soft voice drifted into Mu Silee's ears, as if it also entered his heart and brought a bit of power.
"..."
Outside the ward, Kang Mobei heard Qin Ruoqing's voice as he watched Mu Rushuang's body being slowly pushed away.
It seemed that the person who should have appeared beside him had already arrived. He arrived too late. But luckily, he had arrived.
Kang Mobei secretly let out a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to pat Mu Liancheng's shoulder, who was squatting on the ground, and then slowly left.
In a beautiful cemetery, Kang Leeqing came here alone. He didn't know if he came here to relax or to sweep the tomb, or if he came here to visit Old Master Kang.
[It is reported that Mu Rushuang passed away this morning.]
Kang Leeqing's phone also displayed this kind of news. Seeing the news, Kang Leeqing was a bit worried, so he came to the cemetery.
Looking at the skyscrapers in the distance, the grass beneath his feet was still moist, as if it had just been raining in the morning. He raised his head and saw that there were a lot of clouds in the sky, mixed with dense fog.
"Dad, tell me, is this retribution?" Kang Leeqing said in a low voice with an expressionless face as he looked at Old Master Kang's tombstone.
