Chapter 1785

~7 min read 1,352 words

When cancer reaches the terminal stage, any part of the patient's body can be in danger at any time, thereby endangering life.

Because the entire body system is like blocks constantly piled up, already on the verge of collapse, and can collapse with a bang at any time.

What's more, Shi Misi's son is only twelve years old, and his body had long been exhausted to the extreme in the process of fighting cancer for many years.

Plus, the tumor in his brain was getting bigger, and after his vision and hearing were affected, his emotions were very intense. The doctor also injected sedatives. All these factors were accelerating his withering.

Shi Misi looked at his son on the hospital bed through the window, and he was already completely desperate.

He knew that after working so hard for so many years, he had finally lost.

Just then, a doctor walked up to him and said with some respect and some sympathy: "Mr. Shi Misi, Jimmy's situation is indeed very bad. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through tonight. Do you see if we still need to prepare rescue measures?"

Since Shi Misi is a high-level executive of the FDA and holds the power of drug review, he has a very powerful network of relationships in the entire US medical system.

Therefore, he was able to use the world's most cutting-edge anti-cancer technology on his son continuously.

It is precisely because of this that the hospital doctors also attach great importance to his son.

At the moment, the doctor also knew that his son had no chance of survival, but given Shi Misi's strong belief all along, he still had to ask for Shi Misi's opinion to see if he still wanted to do the final rescue for his son.

No matter what status or background a person has, once they become a critically ill patient, they have no dignity at all. Not only do they have no dignity, but they may also have to endure the strongest pain in the world.

Some rescue methods have great damage to the body, such as powerful cardiac resuscitation methods during cardiac arrest, which may break the patient's ribs; cardiac defibrillation may also cause skin burns; when breathing is difficult, the doctor even needs to intubate the patient's trachea, or even fill the patient's whole body with tubes, and then use various extracorporeal circulation equipment for the patient.

Some patients have a chance to be reborn after this series of rescues, but terminal cancer patients, experiencing such a big battle of rescue, may just be letting life persist for a few days without any dignity.

The hospital where Shi Misi's son is located is called the Mayo Clinic, which is the best oncology hospital in the entire United States and even the entire world. And the Washington campus is the newest and most cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment center they just opened this year, investing huge financial and material resources.

The doctors here possess extremely rich rescue experience, almost representing the peak level of cancer treatment in modern medicine, and have a great reputation worldwide.

The evaluation of Mayo by global medical institutions is very high. Summarizing various rumors, it can be summarized in one sentence: Whoever Yama lets die at the third watch, Mayo will keep him until the fifth watch.

Therefore, Mayo's doctors also have the confidence to let Shi Misi's son live for a few more days by sparing no cost in rescue.

However, all this depends on Shi Misi's willingness.

After all, in the doctor's view, this child has already experienced too much pain. At this time, there is absolutely no need to let him endure another round of hellish torture before he leaves.

Shi Misi had already cried his eyes red at this time, and bean-sized tears flowed down one after another.

He hesitated again and again, sighed, and said: "Forget it... let him spend his last time quietly... I don't want him to endure torture anymore..."

The doctor nodded with a heavy face and said: "Mr. Shi Misi, you have made an incomparably correct decision. I believe Jimmy will thank you for this."

Shi Misi asked with a choke: "Can he still wake up?"

The doctor said: "The sedative drug we injected into him has a very small dose. If there are no accidents, he should wake up in another hour. Your family can go in and accompany him more."

Shi Misi nodded with red eyes. The doctor patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "You can go in now. I won't disturb your family here either. If you have anything, press the call button directly, and I will come over the first time."

"Good..."

The doctor left. The ICU, which originally had very high requirements for a sterile environment, no longer had any restrictions. This meant that the patient in the ward had begun to let nature take its course.

Shi Misi took his wife and daughter into the ward. His son on the hospital bed was still unconscious, but it could be seen that his state now was very bad, pale and thin.

Shi Misi's wife lost control of her emotions, cried and collapsed by the hospital bed. She held her son's hand tightly and choked: "Jimmy, promise Mom you must get better, Mom can't live without you..."

Shi Misi wiped a tear quietly and choked: "Jenny, we are losing Jimmy, you have to accept this reality..."

"No..." Jenny Shi Misi shook her head and said: "I don't accept it! No one wants to take my son away from me, even God can't!"

Shi Misi said helplessly: "Jenny, we have used all the methods that can be used in this world... If you don't accept it, what better solution can you have?"

Jenny seemed to be a bit crazy, blurted out: "My good friend knows a medium! That medium lives in Arizona. It is said that she not only can communicate with spirits but also is proficient in some kind of divine religion in Mexico. I will invite her over now!"

As she spoke, Jenny immediately took out her mobile phone.

Shi Misi hurriedly stopped her and said: "You are a top student who graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, how can you believe in something like a medium that has no scientific basis at all?!"

Jenny questioned him: "Then you tell me! You tell me what I should believe in!"

Shi Misi blurted out without hesitation: "Of course, believe in modern medicine!"

Jenny pointed to her son on the hospital bed and asked with tears: "Jimmy is about to die! You tell me, how does modern medicine save him? How to save him!"

Shi Misi covered his face, took a deep breath, and said: "If it weren't for modern medicine, Jimmy might not have been here three years ago. Now the cancer cells in his body are all over his body, and no matter how good medical technology is, it is impossible to save him. He is also my son, and I also hope that a miracle can appear, but we still have to be realistic. Otherwise, you might not be able to walk out for the rest of your life..."

Jenny roared like crazy: "I don't care!! I don't care about anything now! I just want my son to live! So I can't stay here and watch him die! We must do something! If you don't do it, then don't stop me!"

As she spoke, Jenny remembered something and added: "I heard people say that there is a very powerful traditional Chinese medicine doctor in Chinatown. I will ask a friend for contact information now!"

Shi Misi also suddenly remembered the box of medicine Wei Liang gave him, and said subconsciously: "If it really doesn't work, let's try it. If this traditional Chinese medicine has no effect, you don't need to invite any traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

Jenny asked hurriedly: "Where is the medicine?! Hurry up and take it for Jimmy to try!"

Shi Misi said: "It's in the car, I'll go get it."
