Chapter 99: Possibly Becoming a Vegetative State
Lin Sanqi moved to his own house in 1959, but by 2013, the Zhou family was in chaos.
Zhou Kai was rushed to Huadu First Hospital by the skydiving club.
Emergency CT scan:
Right sacroiliac joint dislocation; right pubic bone fracture and pubic symphysis separation; right radius fracture; right ulnar styloid process fracture; penetrating skin wound of the mandible; right groin soft tissue injury; closed chest injury and L2 vertebral fracture.
There was almost no healthy part of his body, and he fell into a deep coma.
When Zhou Kai's parents and relatives arrived, the doctor reported that he had multiple fractures, and Zhou's mother, Li Yada, fainted on the spot.
Zhou Ruili was also a seasoned businessman, and his Qi cultivation skills were still there. He suppressed the trembling of his whole body and asked excitedly:
"Doctor, I just want to know if my son can survive?"
The emergency room doctor simply:
"I don't know if he can survive, but if you have connections, I suggest you find the best orthopedic surgeons and especially neurosurgeons right away. He has a severe craniocerebral injury, which is the most serious. He could die in an instant."
Li Yada had just woken up. When she heard that her son had suffered a serious brain injury, she passed out again without a word, her eyes rolled back.
Zhou Ruili's hands were shaking so much that he couldn't dial the number. The secretary next to him stepped forward and said:
"Mr. Zhou, who are we looking for?"
"I have the number of Dean Qian of Huadu First Hospital in my phone book. Please call him for me."
"Beep beep beep~~~"
"Hey, Boss Zhou, you're a rare visitor. Why did you think of calling me?"
"President Qian, help! My son is in the emergency department. He was injured while skydiving. He has fractures all over his body, from head to toe. His brain is also damaged. He could die at any time. President Qian, please save my son! If you can save him, I will donate an MRI machine to you!"
"I see. Wait, I'll be down right away."
Dean Qian put down the phone and immediately dialed another number:
"Hello, is this the Medical Department? Immediately activate the Level 1 emergency plan. We have a critically ill surgical patient who requires emergency treatment from the entire hospital. Immediately, all specialists from surgery, orthopedics, critical care, emergency, anesthesiology, and laboratory departments must gather in the operating room within 20 minutes."
After all, he was a rich man. With just one phone call, the director came in person and then launched a full-scale rescue operation in the hospital.
All the chief physicians, expert professors of the orthopedic surgery system were invited, and the hospital blood bank also urgently transferred a batch of blood products from the central blood station.
In the operating room, Dr. Yuan Zhiyong, director of the orthopedics department, gasped when he saw the CT scan.
"Fuck, this kid is really lucky. There are only a few bones in his body intact. How can he still be alive?"
Tian Bing, the director of the emergency department, smiled bitterly.
"This young man's parachute broke while skydiving, and he ended up crashing into a tree. Luckily he had a backup parachute, otherwise he'd probably be picking himself up piece by piece. Why would young people do something else when there are so many other things to do?!"
Xu Huanghui, the director of the anesthesiology department, also rushed to the operating room:
"Alright, alright, hurry up and save the patient. I don't know how long it will take. I'm really scared now. If the patient dies during anesthesia, the family will probably tear our hospital apart."
Jin Limin, director of general surgery, looked outside the operating room:
"Why hasn't Old Song from the neurosurgery department arrived yet? He's always slow and always fails at the crucial moment. The length of anesthesia depends on how long the neurosurgery operation will take."
Song Jiming ran into the operating room, still gasping for air:
"Damn it, I knew you bastards were cursing me behind my back. I'm off today, but I got the news and ran through three red lights before I got to the hospital. It's not easy for me. Hurry up, show me the CT scan."
The young doctor did not dare to delay and quickly inserted the head CT film into the reader.
"The patient had a right frontal epidural hematoma, bilateral frontal and temporal lobe contusions, subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial hemorrhage, and a skull base fracture. Damn, his brain was a mess."
Song Jiming turned sideways and glanced at the row of film readers next to him, his eyes full of surprise:
"Strange, so many films? How many wounds does this patient have? It seems like today's battle is going to be difficult."
Xu Huanghui curled her lips:
"That's right. The dean is personally supervising the troops. Hurry up and bring out all your best skills. This little guy is an only child. The Meiju Center and Weisi Plaza are both his. If he dies, the dean will skin us alive."
Yuan Zhiyong is ready:
"Lao Song and I will go first, and Lao Jin and Lao Tian will take over. Let's go all out!"
"Okay, come on!"
All the doctors had stopped joking at this point and started treating their patients seriously.
The news that Zhou Kai was injured while skydiving quickly spread in the small circle, and the second-generation children who went skydiving with Zhou Kai were also taken to the hospital by their parents.
Although the yellow-haired guys were not responsible, it was just Zhou Kai's bad luck after all.
But since they are companions, parents or business partners, it is proper etiquette and reason to go to the rescue scene.
The owner of Zengcheng Skydiving Center also rushed over. He was an extraordinary person as he could build a general airport in Huadu. Naturally, he was not afraid of the Zhou family.
But in the business world, things that can be resolved peacefully must end peacefully. Fighting and confrontation are not the first choice of southerners.
Everyone is waiting for the results of Zhou Kai's surgery.
The wait lasted for 10 hours, and then Dean Qian and Director Song from the neurosurgery department came out to meet with the family on behalf of the medical team.
As soon as the sliding door of the VIP operating room opened, family members and friends immediately gathered around.
Zhou Ruili rushed forward and asked, "Dean Qian, how is my son?"
"Mr. Zhou, the patient's condition is not very optimistic..."
As a doctor, you have to exaggerate the severity of the situation. That way, if the patient dies, you won't be held responsible. If the patient is saved, you'll be considered a great doctor.
When Li Yadan heard this, she sat down on the ground, no longer caring about her status as a rich wife, and burst into tears:
"My son~~~~"
A group of wealthy ladies hurried to support Li Yadan. Director Song then spoke:
"Well, after our hospital's full efforts to save the patient, the internal organs and bone damage caused by the fall were removed and reconnected. Now the main problem is still in the brain. The subarachnoid hemorrhage alone is very life-threatening.
The wounds on his body are easy to heal. Even if they can't be healed, he'll be left with a minor disability, at least his life will be saved. But the patient is still in a coma, so it's hard to tell when he'll wake up."
Zhou Ruili took a deep breath, and a term immediately flashed through his mind: vegetative state?
