Sleepless Doctor

Chapter 411: Vegetative

The latest website: "Children? Are you still alive?" Wu Mian asked.

In the old society, many people could not afford to support their children, so they put their children in front of large families or places with a lot of people, hoping to be picked up by well-wishers.

In Farewell My Concubine, Cheng Dieyi played by Leslie Cheung adopted an apprentice.

Living conditions are getting better, and this kind of thing happens less and less. If it weren't for food, who would want to throw out the flesh and blood of the child who was pregnant in October and gave birth at one time, and let his fate be fate.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the hospital. Under normal circumstances, children have congenital diseases and are abandoned by their families. At least the doctors and nurses in the hospital are committed to treating illnesses and saving people, and the children may live a little bit bigger.

Wu Mian asked this question because of its inherent logic. He had also seen several abandoned children in the imperial capital.

"I'm angry, but I don't cry or make trouble, and I don't open my eyes." Lin Taoist said sadly, "Little Master, I suspect it is a vegetable."

"..."

Wu Mian sighed, no wonder.

It may be that an accident occurred during childbirth, leading to hypoxia or other accidents, and the child became a vegetative.

He put on his clothes and said, "Look at it."

Chu Zhixi was lying in the blanket and said sleepily, "Brother, why are you going?"

"Go to sleep." Wu Mian touched Chu Zhixi's long fluffy hair. Chu Zhixi instantly "fainted" and fell asleep again.

The girl sleeps really well, and Wu Mian is particularly envious.

When I went out, I saw that Tao Shi Lin did not wear a robe, but was wearing an undershirt and shorts. He was a little thin and looked like an old farmer.

"Little Master, I think it's Lin Yun's business." Lin Daoshi said, "After adopting Lin Yun, I know something similar will happen sooner or later."

Wu Mian nodded, this is inevitable, sooner or later.

In the dark night, driving the battery car towards the mountain, the wind was a bit cold. Lin Daoshi was trembling, so Wu Mian had to stop him and change to drive by himself. Otherwise, Wu Mian was afraid that Taoist Lin would slip, and drove the car down the mountain.

"Lao Lin, you don't wear too little." Wu Mian said.

"Anxious." Lin Daoshi completely lost the appearance of the bones of the fairy wind. "I thought early in the morning that someone would send the child. In fact, it is not a big deal to feed a few children. Are you alive?"

"Don't make a diagnosis, I'll take a look." Wu Mian said, "It's okay to be a vegetable, don't be brain dead."

"Uh, isn't it the same?" Lin Daoshi was taken aback, and then said, "Little Master, you drive slowly, the wind is strong."

"Old Lin, you really should go back and learn again."

"Little Master, I'm all this age, and forget it when I study." Lin Daoshi hugged Wu Mian's waist and pressed it on. Although awkward, the little uncle is really warm.

"Vegetables are in addition to retaining some instinctive nerve reflexes and the ability to metabolize materials and energy, but their cognitive abilities, including the cognition of their own existence, have been completely lost, without any active activities. Also known as the state of plant matter, irreversible Unconscious." Wu Mian explained while driving the battery car.

"Isn't this brain death."

"No. The brainstem of a vegetative person still has functions. When it delivers nutrients to its body, it can also be digested and absorbed, and can use this energy to maintain the body's metabolism, including breathing, heartbeat, blood pressure, etc." Wu Mian continued, "vegetable It can also produce some instinctive reflexes to external stimuli, such as coughing, sneezing, yawning, etc. But the body has no consciousness, perception, thinking and other high-level neural activities unique to humans. The electroencephalogram shows stray waveforms."

"Brain-dead patients refer to the death of the whole brain, including the brainstem. Brain-dead patients have no spontaneous breathing, and the EEG shows a straight line."

"It's so complicated. Everyone thinks it's the same thing." Lin Daoshi said haha, and settled on the matter of being a common man, saving Wu Mian from urging him to read.

"But you can't treat you as a common man." Wu Mian said with a smile.

When passing by the pavilion, you can see the light in the cellar, and there is a hint of warmth in the darkness.

"Little Master, can I keep that black bear?" Lin Daoshi asked suddenly.

"Old Lin, you can't do it like this when you die." Wu Mian said without hesitation, "The wildness is untamable. You are indeed majestic with a black bear, but what if you hurt someone?"

"I just ask casually." Lin Daoshi chuckled twice.

"Don't think that guy is honest, if it weren't for the gravel, I think the operation would have to use an anesthesia gun to make it honest."

"I know, I know, Sister Uncle, slow down, I'm freezing."

"It's only the end of August."

"It just finished raining and it was cold. Fortunately, it was only at the end of August that the child was almost frozen. One month later, it is estimated that the child was already dead by the time it was discovered."

When he came to the house of the Taoist priest in the mountain forest, Mingyue hugged a child who was a few months old at a loss, feeling a little confused. Lin Yun was more interested in the child, and watched around Mingyue.

"I'll take a look." Wu Mian stretched out her hand, took the child from Mingyue's arms, and looked carefully.

1 second……

5 seconds……

10 seconds……

30 seconds……

Lin Daoshi felt that the little uncle was holding the child to face each other, rather than having a physical examination. How can such an examination be done? Isn't the neurological examination performed by knocking left and right with a percussion hammer?

"Little Master, what are you doing? Is the child hopeless?" Lin Daoshi asked.

"Do you have a physical examination?"

"Check with eyes? Do you have an inspection?" Lin Daoshi was a little scared, afraid that the child would die, and that the family would make trouble after the child died, saying that the Taoist temple killed him. Although this possibility is unlikely, Lin Daoshi still thinks of a doctor in his bones, and he can't help but think so.

"Periodic Cheyne-Stokes breathing is seen in bilateral cerebral hemisphere disease or diencephalic disease."

"Irregular breathing patterns, prolonged or ataxia inhalation, are seen in lesions of the lower pons or upper medulla oblongata."

"Hyperventilation usually reflects metabolic or pulmonary disease~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but sometimes it also reflects damage to the upper pons or midbrain."

"This is part of the physical examination. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Wu Mian held the child and observed it carefully for nearly 3 minutes before sighing.

"Is it a vegetable?" Lin Daoshi asked, hugging his arms.

Wu Mian ignored Taoist Lin, then put the child on the bed and glanced at both pupils.

In hypothalamic disease, pontine disease, and narcotic poisoning, the pupils diminish but preserve the reflection of light.

When the midbrain is damaged, or a severe overdose is caused by intoxication, the pupils are of medium size, the reflex disappears, and the pupils dilate when hypoxia or oculomotor nerve compression occurs.

In most cases of metabolic disease, hemispheric disease, or disappearance of psychogenic consciousness, the pupil response is normal.

"Lao Lin... Mingyue, do you have a syringe?" Wu Mian asked.

"No." Mingyue didn't know what to do, and shook her head in a daze.
