How could a son bear to see his father lying there in the sickbed?
Liu and Bao had been closely monitoring the patient’s vital signs, while Jiang Tingxu came over.
“Hello, we need to explain Mr. Zheng Rongguang’s conditions to his family first.”
“Is it bad?”
Jiang Tingxu nodded.
“Yes. His brain is seriously damaged, his brain stem is bleeding, and the cerebral cistern is fully obstructed. Even if he survives, it is highly possible he would end up in a vegetative state!”
“What?”
“Yes. What’s more, he had fractures all over his body. The most serious fracture is the femoral neck fracture. The man is already 67 years old. He might not be able to survive a bone replacement.”.
“Of course, the doctors from the Neurology department and the Orthopedics department will come over for a consultation soon. Let’s see what other opinions they can give. You might want to prepare yourself.”
The family member, a man of around 40, was trembling at this moment.
The consultation would not change anything. Basically, the condition was already determined.
However, as a doctor from the emergency department, Jiang Tingxu had to make a final diagnosis after she let doctors from different departments do a consultation to according to the procedures.
They all understood the situation, so there was no need to say anything else.
However, she still wanted to ask.
“If I may ask, why was Mr. Zheng still working on the construction site at the age of 67?”
At this age, he should retire and lead a comfortable life.
Even if he really wanted to work, it had to be a less taxing job. How could an old man do such a high-intensity job on the construction site?
Speaking of this, the son was filled with regret.
“It’s all my fault. I’m so useless. My meager salary can barely support our daily life. My wife just gave birth to a second child and is jobless. So my father went to work on the construction site, trying to relieve our burden.”
But who would have thought this would happen?
What could Jiang Tingxu say?
The old man wanted to do it himself. It was not like he was forced. And all this was the result of an accident.
At this moment, they heard a woman crying outside.
“Dad! Dad! It’s me! Your daughter’s here!”
Hearing this, Zheng Rongguang’s second son said:
“Doctor, it’s my younger sister.”
Jiang Tingxu quickly gave a look to the nurse beside her. The nurse left, and brought in two men and two women.
“Brother, how’s dad doing?”
“It’s very bad.”
Hearing this answer, the woman became agitated immediately:
“How could this happen? Brother, why didn’t you take good care of dad? If you can’t look after him, you can just tell me and big brother. We can take care of him!”
Seeing the woman so tensed up, Liu pulled Jiang Tingxu back.
“Madam, please calm down first. We need you to make a decision on Mr. Zheng’s condition!”
Sure enough, the woman calmed down, when another man beside her asked,
“Doctor, I’m his eldest son. What decision do we need to make now?”
Liu explained the situation in detail once again.
“This is Mr. Zheng’s current situation, so it’s up to you now.”
“If we are to rescue him, what is the probability of his survival?”
“Less than 20 percent.”
God…
That meant…
