Chapter 792: fundamental right to life
Chapter 792 The basic right to life
Gu Ci didn't pay much attention to Ji Dao's affairs recently, and she also heard about Qin Wan and Rong Li's affairs. Jiang Junlin had already told her about Jiang Junlin's arrangement, and she was very supportive. There are advantages and disadvantages. For Jiang Junlin, it is better to give special circumstances. Jiang Junlin has the right to choose in this matter. Ji Dao has special characteristics after all. Even if General Mu puts pressure on Jiang Junlin, Jiang Junlin can ignore the power and stick to his own opinion. , Chen Liangdong and General Mu are not in the same camp, so it is impossible to listen to him.
General Mu was very angry, "I just hate that Mu Yuan is too young. He is only sixteen years old. All the daughters of the Chen family are twenty-six. If she doesn't mind that Xiao Yuan is underage, I would like to send Xiao Yuan to get married."
It would be great to bring the Chen family into the same camp.
Chen Liangdong vaguely heard his complaints and couldn't laugh or cry. Naturally, his daughter was a hot commodity, and many people were eyeing her and wanting to get married to his family.
Even if Qin Wan really gave birth to a child out of wedlock, some people would be willing to do so, but if they were willing, Chen Liangdong might not. He knew clearly that he was going because of his family background, not Qin Wan, so why should he?
After Gu Ci heard the news, she talked with Qin Wan, deliberately not talking about the child or the situation, but just to let her relax. Qin Wan's file is located in Nancheng Hospital, and Gu Ci can also see her information. She and the fetus are both healthy.
In the dead of night, Lu Zhiyuan brought her a midnight snack.
He has frequently brought her late-night snacks recently. They are all her favorite snacks and they are not greasy. Gu Ci lost a little weight and asked, "Why do you have to stay up all night recently?"
"I recently received a child with Down's syndrome and congenital heart disease. I wanted to perform heart valve surgery on him. I originally wanted a mechanical valve, but I was worried that the family would not be able to afford to maintain the child for the rest of his life. He is twelve years old this year. He was an only child, and his parents ran a street stall. He was born with Down syndrome and heart problems. He was hospitalized for five years. The family sold an apartment and the burden was extremely heavy. He had been scheduled for heart surgery three years ago. There was no waiting, and the family gritted their teeth and planned to give him a machine, but after her mother became pregnant, the plan was shelved and he was asked to wait for a heart transplant. "
Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, "This is human nature, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, weighing the pros and cons."
Gu Ci is a doctor and has seen a lot of life, death, and human relationships. The hospital is the place with the most stories and the place that tests humanity the most. In fact, she can also understand that when parents only have one child, even if he is in trouble, he still has all the resources. All poured into him.
But this child has Down syndrome. The IQ of a twelve-year-old child is that of a four- or five-year-old. He also has heart disease and the cost of surgery is hundreds of thousands a year. It has brought down a family that is not wealthy. Now that he has a second child, he He became an abandoned son of his parents. The poor child didn't know that he had become an abandoned son. His parents hadn't seen him for two days. They were all taken care of by the nurses, and they were still happy.
Gu Ci felt unhappy.
"He is very cute, and the little nurses in the inpatient department like him very much." Gu Ci said of her patient, "His parents don't want to bear the cost of this operation. They want to be discharged from the hospital. It's rare to wait until the heart source is available. If they don't do it, It’s such a shame, and I’m pretty sure it will be successful, so I paid for the surgery.”
Lu Zhiyuan hesitated, smiled and fed her a snack. Gu Ci smiled lightly and asked, "Don't you agree?"
"Have you ever thought that even if he survives in good health, he will still be a burden to the family?" Lu Zhiyuan analyzed from a considerable perspective, "Maybe his parents feel that he is a burden. They have a chance to have a healthy child. He may not be welcomed, and even if he survives, he may not be happy.”
"I know." Gu Ci didn't understand in her heart. "These stories are staged every day in the hospital. Why don't I understand? Respecting life is the basic principle of human beings. We can't just watch this disease drag him to death. If he doesn't After surgery, he won’t live for three years.”
Lu Zhiyuan touched her hair gently, "After becoming a doctor, my heart softened."
“It makes me sound like I have a heart of stone.”
Gu Ci's assistant came in a hurry, "Doctor Gu, something happened. Xiao Yuan's parents are here to handle the discharge procedures for him." Gu Ci frowned, stood up suddenly, and hurried out. Lu Zhiyuan tidied up the office resignedly. Gu Ci quickly arrived at the ward. Xiao Yuan was Gu Ci's patient. His parents were both relatively young. His mother was six months pregnant. Gu Ci heard from her pregnancy test doctor that she was pregnant with a baby. My son, all the tests have been done, and he is in good health. When she was pregnant with Xiao Yuan, she took painkillers for toothache, which caused Xiao Yuan to be deformed. There is no defect in the couple's genes.
Xiao Yuan’s mother had packed his things, and Gu Ci couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Yuan’s mother, the surgery is scheduled for three days later, and Xiao Yuan’s health can’t have any problems, so why should we take him out of the hospital?”
Xiao Yuan’s mother’s eyes were a little evasive, “We won’t do the surgery anymore.”
"Why?" Gu Ci didn't understand. Xiao Yuan's mother actually loved her children very much. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sold a house to treat her children in the past ten years. Now that hope is around the corner, why did she give up? Gu Ci has paid for the surgery fees and follow-up care, so she has no reason to give up.
"Dr. Gu, thank you for taking care of Xiao Yuan. Our whole family is very grateful to you, really." Xiao Yuan's mother said with red eyes, "We also have our own difficulties. Please understand, Xiao Yuan...he is a special child , even if his operation is successful, the follow-up... will be a burden to our family. He will need care like a child throughout his life. There is nothing we can do. Doctor Gu, please understand."
The family wanted to take the patient out of the hospital, and Gu Ci could not stop her at all. She tried her best to persuade Xiao Yuan's parents, but it still didn't help. Xiao Yuan was still taken home, and before leaving, she waved goodbye to Gu Ci with a smile. .
Gu Ci just felt exhausted physically and mentally. No matter how hard she tried, she was not Xiao Yuan's guardian and could not change their parents' minds. After Gu Ci was depressed, she cheered up again. She planned to visit her home in two days and try to persuade her again. Advise their parents.
But after Xiao Yuan gave up the operation, the next patient waiting for heart transplant surgery had to take up the quota. The patient was a young scientist. Gu Ci originally wanted to fight for it, but the scientist's words shocked Gu Ci.
"Dr. Gu, the heart is a scarce resource. They have waited for three years to get a suitable heart. Which is more important, saving a Down syndrome patient or saving a scientist?" The scientist is Lin, a scientist in the aerospace field. , suffered from heart disease ten years ago, and has been waiting in line, and he jumped in line. None of the hearts in front of him were suitable for him. He only had this heart, but Gu Ci erased his qualifications for queuing. Xiao Yuan and others His time was longer than his, so it was only fair to give his heart to Xiao Yuan.
Now, after hearing the scientist's remarks, Gu Ci laughed angrily.
“You think the value of your heart is higher than that of a Down syndrome patient, so it is only fair to give it to you because you are a person with a normal IQ and can contribute to scientific research? Can you provide value to society?”
"Isn't it? I really don't understand what you are insisting on, Doctor Gu?"
Gu Ci's eyes turned red with anger, and she almost understood why Xiao Yuan's parents gave up the operation. She only felt angry and sad, "Maybe you have a high IQ, a good birth, a very good family background, and can create value for society. But Mr. Lin, you only have one life. No matter who you are, respecting the equality of life is the basic principle of human beings. Even if you are Einstein, you cannot deprive Xiao Yuan of his right to live. If you are more worthy of this heart than Xiao Yuan, If one day I get a heart attack, then you are Xiao Yuan, and I can deprive you of the right to live."
The scientist's face changed, "Doctor Gu, you are so idealistic. Xiao Yuan's sacrifice is valuable."
"Soldiers defend their home and country, voluntarily sacrifice one person and save ten thousand people. They are heroes. The sacrifice of innocent people is an inhumane moral kidnapping. Why can you represent Xiao Yuan? No matter how perfect you package yourself, in essence, you are It goes against human nature and is a crime." Gu Ci was furious, "Once such social norms become popular, how many people will lose the right to live because money can buy their livers, their kidneys, and even their lives!"
The scientist spread his hands with a chuckle, "What should we do? Xiao Yuan's family has given up on the operation, and I am in urgent need of this heart. If you don't give it to me, you are murdering me, Doctor Gu."
I won’t write meaningless plots. This one will go over the events first. I won’t update it tonight. Mercury has been retrograde recently.
