Chapter 554: Meeting Again
After the 3 accepted the mission, they left Base 071.
When they left, they also received a friendly prompt that they could directly specify the place to go. Of course, it was only within the Tutuga Starport. Star Consortium could send them there for free.
Needless to say, their priority was to check Latvis’ condition.
While heading to the hospital, Fang Linyan was reading the relevant information.
Before arriving at the starport, Latvis’ injuries continued to worsen and was sent directly into the hibernation pod.
Therefore, he had to be wakened up from the hibernation pod first, which delayed the timely treatment.
More importantly, the root cause of his injuries was not illness, but trauma caused by the Red Barracuda Star Pirates.
In this era, the treatment of trauma had a series of mechanized processes that had been refined over time…
The doctor only needed to determine the extent of the injury, then input the patient’s heartbeat, blood pressure, and other body data, and the optical brain would select the optimal treatment plan.
In addition, now all surgeries were performed by robotic arms, which greatly eliminated human errors.
Therefore, Latvis performed the treatment directly at the Starport Authority Hospital. 3 experts were invited to jointly formulate a surgical plan.
To be honest, such a treatment was impeccable, but after Latvis’ injury improved for more than 10 hours, it began to gradually deteriorate again…
…
18 minutes later, Fang Linyan and the other 2 jumped off the aerocar provided by the Star Consortium and arrived at the square in front of the Starport Authority Hospital.
It was only a few hundred meters away from the place where the starships were docked.
In this way, the time for transporting patients could be reduced as much as possible, and the secondary injuries suffered during the transport process could be reduced.
Sometimes, even if the patient was delivered to the doctor 10 seconds earlier, it might be possible to beat death. This mere 10 seconds is the dividing line between life and death.
Goat came to the front desk and asked, then he took the elevator to the fourth floor and asked the relevant doctor in charge about the condition.
This doctor was called Davis. According to the introduction on the Internet, he was an expert with rich experience and high medical ethics.
What he told Fang Linyan was very similar to the information he read before. The only exception was that Latvis even suffered a cardiac arrest 40 minutes ago!
This showed that his physical condition had worsened to the point of life-threatening!
Fang Linyan pondered for a long time and then said,
“He obviously underwent effective surgery, but why did his health condition still deteriorate?”
The doctor had received some benefit from Goat, so he said with a wry smile,
“Although our science has developed to the point where we can travel across the vast sea of ??stars and reach planets that people can look with expectant eyes———-and these planets can’t be reached even if humans walk on foot for hundreds of millions of years.”
“However, the human body is still full of mysteries!”
“I saw an old man who lost half his lung at the age of 50 and had a heartbreaking cough every night, and he lived to 102 years old.”
“I have also seen a 28 years old athlete who ate 5 meals a day, had excellent body, and was even a core member of the championship team. However, he died suddenly in bed 3 days after lifting the Champions League…”
“Although Mr. Latvis’ surgery was successful, his health condition is still deteriorating. This can only mean one thing. He encountered a small probability event that has not been studied yet. And unfortunately, this is a small probability that is not good for him.”
Fang Linyan frowned and said,
“Okay, doctor, let me be direct. If I want Latvis to live, is there anything I can do?”
“You can boldly say everything that is theoretically possible!”
The doctor pondered for a while and said,
“Now we can only determine that Mr. Latvis’s vitality is constantly declining. There are many causes of this failure, such as heavy metal poisoning, long-term severe anemia, excessive drinking, etc….”
“In our lives, when a fire is about to be blown out by the wind, what we usually do is to close the windows to block the wind. However, when the windows cannot be closed, there is another way. That is to add some fuel to the fire.”
“Therefore, another way to save Mr. Latvis is to replenish his vitality. As long as his vitality is replenished faster than the vitality is lost, he will naturally get better.”
Fang Linyan said seriously,
“Then… what should I use to replenish his vitality?”
The doctor said,
“Except for some uncommon and rare items, there are two drugs that have appeared on the market: black algae monomeric saponin sustained-release tablet called Dorophene, and a drug called Catral.”
Fang Linyan nodded and said,
“Thank you very much for your advice. Are these 2 drugs, Dorophene and Catral, still available on the market?”
The Doctor shrugged and said regretfully,
“The main component of Dorophene is actually very simple. It is extracted from the mysterious black algae growing on Planet S799 in the Orion constellation. Unfortunately, this kind of black algae has been extinct due to over-harvesting 10 years ago.”
“The last bottle of Dorophene I saw was at an auction a year and a half ago. Rich people were vying to bid. The random bids were all amazing. But I heard that this thing was finally sold to an Apunk businessman.”
After hearing that, Fang Linyan looked thoughtful, then he nodded and said,
“Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor.”
Then he went to the ward to take a look at Latvis who was in a coma. The attending doctor was also accompanying him.
At this time, Latvis looked totally different. He looked old and decadent. He had lost at least 20 pounds, his cheekbones were bulging out, and his cheeks had a pale white color represented death.
The scheming and energetic captain seemed to have completely disappeared from the world, replaced by this dying old man who needed help with the most basic defecation.
Of course, Latvis was not alone here. The person taking care of him was a crew member on Coles. Fang Linyan seemed to remember that his name was Cance.
This guy’s sense of presence was very weak. Let’s put it this way, he was no different from a stool by just sitting there with his head down.
Fang Linyan chatted with him for a few words and found that this guy could only be described as submissive. He could only give simple answers such as yeah, oh, I know, etc.
Moreover, this person seemed to have social phobia. He did not dare to look into the eyes of strangers when talking. If it were not for the memory that he was like this at Coles, Fang Linyan would almost think that this guy had a guilty conscience.
However, taking care of the patient, especially people like Latvis, was a typical dirty job. Dealing with feces and urine was common.
Taking good care was necessary. Even if Latvis survived, he would probably spend his life in a hospital bed, which would not have much impact on the caregiver’s future.
If he screw up, he might be held accountable.
So there was a reason why Cance was chosen as the unlucky guy in the end. He got bullied easily.
However, Cance did a pretty good job, the area near the hospital bed was quite tidy, and Latvis was well cared for. His ability to survive to this day was due to his meticulous care.
The attending doctor smiled and praised,
“Mr. Cance is very serious, meticulous and responsible in taking care of the patient.”
At this time, a nurse suddenly called outside. The attending doctor apologized and left.
Fang Linyan stayed in the ward for a few minutes. Seeing that there seemed to be not many clues here, he could only get up and leave. Before leaving, Cance happened to stand up to turn Latvis over. At this time, Fang Linyan looked back, and he was moved.
Because looking at it from this angle, Cance was bent over. The temperature in the ward was constant at 24 degrees, so one piece of clothing was enough. Cance didn’t know that the shirt behind him was rolled up, thus exposing his back.
“What… the hell is this?” Fang Linyan widened his eyes.
TL: Could Cance be the key to the mission?
