Chapter 2862 If it doesn't work, remove the catheter.

“Other than short breaths, everything else is fine. I’ve eaten more and have more energy for my activities.” Little stone laughed.

Looking at his bright smile, Zheng Ren’s feelings were a little complicated.

“Doctor Zheng, if you have anything to say, just say it. I’ve already talked to little stone.” Wen xiaonuan said,”we’ve been very happy recently. Every afternoon when the sun is shining, we walk around the hospital and talk about you and Dr. Su.”

Wen xiaonuan’s words were a little stammering, but Zheng Ren understood.

A doctor’s concern for his illness was one form, while the concern of patients and their family members was another form.

The person who wanted to be healthy the most was definitely the patient himself. As for the doctor-in-charge and the patient’s family, that would depend on the specific situation.

“It’s like this. After the Botha treatment, his overall condition has improved, but the complications are more serious.” Zheng Ren pondered for a moment before saying,”the lung transplant surgery that I mentioned last time, we might have to give it a try.”

Wen xiaonuan held onto little stone’s hand and looked at Zheng Ren as she asked,”is it very dangerous?”

“Because we can’t use regular vaccines on little stone, or I’m worried that the tumor will explode. So, we have to use the technology that is still under research.” Zheng Ren said softly,”there are no successful cases ... No one has done it before. No one knows what will happen in the future.”

Wen xiaonuan stopped talking. She suppressed her anxiety and turned back to look at Little Rock.

“Brother, I found some information after you told me about it last time.” Little stone chuckled as he spoke. He didn’t seem to be talking about himself at all, but more like an intern discussing an illness with a teacher.

“What did you see?” Zheng Ren asked with a chuckle.

“There’s all kinds of information. The things on professional websites are too boring. However, with the current technology, the survival rate of a lung transplant above one year was 90%, 60% above three years, and 50% above five years. In fact, I think that many of the complications are caused by the vaccine. Overall, the surgery is not difficult. “

“......”

Zheng Ren laughed.

Little stone was really confident that a lung transplant would not be difficult.

Although Zheng Ren also thought so, the difficulty of organ transplant surgery was far less than heart separation surgery for conjoined twins. But no matter what, this type of surgical method was still very difficult, and it only depended on what surgical method it was compared with.

“Let’s do it. Recently, I feel that my chest is becoming more and more stuffy. ” “But you have to promise me one thing,” little stone said with certainty.

“What is it?”

“If the surgery is successful, there’s nothing to say. If it fails, there’s nothing to say about not being able to get off the operating table. If he can get off the operating table but can’t wake up, he must be maintained by machines, such as respirators, ECMOs, and so on. Can you help me pull them out?”

“You’re thinking so much at such a young age. Do you know how much it costs to use ECMO a day?” Su Yun said in disdain.

“Brother Yun, you’re just standing there and talking.” Little stone said,”it’s very uncomfortable to be inserted with a tube. When I was in Bota, I felt like I was floating in the boundless universe, with no beginning and no end.”

Zheng Ren listened quietly. He saw Wen xiaonuan’s hand clench tighter and tighter, but little stone patted the back of Wen xiaonuan’s hand gently like an adult, consoling his mother.

“If that’s the case, it’ll be very uncomfortable. I’ve counted and I’ve already lived for an extra month. If we’re going to perform a lung transplant, and it’s still in the experimental stage with 3d printed autologous cloned cells, we’ll have to prepare for at least half a month. “

“This is all my earnings.”

Zheng Ren nodded his head slightly when he saw little stone speaking so quickly.

“Originally, what do you think is the point of medical treatment?” Little Rock looked at Zheng Ren, then at Su Yun, and asked seriously.

“The meaning ...” Zheng Ren recalled his trip to Jinhai city yesterday and was slightly dazed.

“People will always die. From a macro perspective, what doctors do is meaningless.” Little stone smiled and argued.

Zheng Ren knew that Little Rock was trying to use a joking tone to make him relax. However, Su Yun was unhappy and started to argue with him.

Little stone shook his head and did not continue Su Yun’s words.”Big brother Yun, let’s not argue. Whether I live or die, it doesn’t mean anything to the whole world, but it has infinite meaning to me. I really enjoy every day in this world. For example, I can talk to my mom and wait for you to come and check on me every day. “

“I think that no matter what we do, we can’t think too much.” Little Rock said,”as long as you don’t let me enter the state of floating in space again, I’ll be fine. I’ll be happy as long as I can live. There’s no need for that kind of confinement.”

“It means something different to you and me. To my mom, I’m everything. However, if she knew that I was lying there and that living was worse than death, she would probably agree. “

As he spoke, little stone looked at Wen xiaonuan and held her hand with his other hand.

Wen xiaonuan nodded. She had cried too much and her tears had dried up. She could accept everything now.

She had no choice but to accept it. She did not even dare to look at Zheng Ren or face his white hair.

“Brother, do you agree?” Little stone asked Zheng Ren with a smile.

“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded.”If I judge that the chances are very slim, I’ll remove the catheter.”

“That’s right. Also, don’t be so serious. ” “Have you ever failed an operation before?” little stone asked with a smile.

“Not yet.”

“So, I have enough reason to believe that you will succeed, don’t you?” Little stone continued to smile and said,”as long as you agree to what I just said. To you, if I die, there will only be memories left. But to me, it means a relaxing release. “

“I’ll give it a try. I’m having difficulty breathing anyway. The blood oxygen saturation level is probably only around 90%.”

“Alright,” he said. Zheng Ren and little stone looked at each other. Seeing how serious little stone was, he must have thought it through.

Now, he was the one who was confused.

What was the meaning of survival? It was like little stone, who had to make a decision when faced with a dilemma.

Zheng Ren suddenly laughed. Thinking too much would not help him grow. This kind of ultimate philosophical problem was too difficult for him, and it seemed to be much easier to be the best surgeon.

Furthermore, he had once again thrown a difficult problem to little stone. Subconsciously, he still defined his relationship with little stone as a doctor and a patient.

“Then it’s decided. I’m flying on the 7th to receive the award. After we come back, we’ll wait for the 3d printed lungs to be sent over, and then we’ll start the surgery. ” Zheng Ren said in an unquestionable tone. His words were steady and sincere, and his eyes were clear as he looked into little stone’s eyes.

Little stone smiled, like a wild flower that had grown out of a stone crack.
