"What? So expensive?" The man was stunned for a moment, showing an expression of disbelief.

Director Cui patiently explained: "It's like this. Once a person is brain-dead, he will no longer be able to breathe on his own, and various endocrine functions will also stop. Some important hormones that maintain the body's metabolism and organ functions, such as thyroxine, can no longer be secreted.

.”

"So you need to use EMCO artificial lungs to maintain breathing, and you also need to inject various drugs to maintain the functions of important organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. Finally, you need to inject nutritional supplements. The cost of these equipment and drugs is quite expensive."

"And the longer you persist, the less sensitive you are to the drug. In the later stage, you need to increase the dosage of the drug, which may be doubled or tripled, so the price will be more expensive."

"Actually, I think the hope of surviving two weeks is relatively slim, because most brain-dead patients don't survive more than one week."

"For the family members, it basically means paying for a week of ICU, so that the patient can take a natural path and live with peace of mind."

"However, even if you stay in the ICU for a week, 200,000 yuan is too expensive. Our family simply cannot afford it."

The man murmured to himself. After hearing this, not only did he not feel the slightest comfort, but he became even more depressed.

The cost of 200,000 yuan, plus the money spent on previous rescue and treatment, was at least 300,000 yuan, which was enough to bankrupt him and even put him in debt.

At this moment, he was so desperate that he even thought of giving up completely.

He couldn't destroy the entire family just to let his old father live for one more week.

The medical expenses of 100,000 yuan have already drained the family's financial resources, and we must not bear another 200,000 yuan in medical debt.

However, as soon as this idea came into the man's mind, he looked back at his old mother who was crying like a woman.

The words "Give up" were stuck in my throat for a moment and I could never say them out.

At this time, Director Cui kindly reminded: "If your father has medical insurance, he can reimburse most of the expenses."

The man shook his head blankly: "We are just ordinary workers. My dad is a farmer, so there is no medical insurance."

Director Cui looked pitiful and sighed: "That is indeed difficult."

"Oh, I know. Thank you, director, for telling me so much. I'll think about it again."

The man was extremely confused and thanked Director Cui. He planned to make it clear to his mother later that he really couldn't afford the money and could only feel sorry for his old father's many years of upbringing.

But I heard Director Cui suddenly say something: "If your family is in difficulty, should you consider body donation?"

"Your dad is only in his 50s, still relatively young..."

Before he finished speaking, the man's face changed drastically.

"Director Cui, stop talking. I can't do this even if I'm killed."

The man's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead bulged one by one. He shouted and immediately interrupted Director Cui's words.

But Director Cui did not stop, but slowed down and whispered softly.

"I understand your thoughts very well, but you need to listen to me first."

"I'm not talking about donating bodies to medical schools for research, or organ donation, but a clinical study by Sanqing."

"Your dad will continue to stay in the ICU and won't go anywhere. We won't touch his body. We will just connect an external artificial organ to the blood vessels in his abdomen and thighs and rely on his body's blood supply for two or three days.

.”

"Then record the physical condition of the entire process, and that's it."

"It won't cause any harm to your dad's body."

"But all your dad's medical expenses, as well as all subsequent expenses for staying in the ICU to maintain life, will be reimbursed in the name of clinical research."

"Why don't you think about it?"

The man was stunned. As soon as he heard Sanqing's name, his confrontational mood became less intense.

After listening to everything Director Cui said, my tense mood relaxed unexpectedly.

This clinical research plan sounds pretty good. There is no need to do anything to the old father's body, and no organs will be removed. It will just connect the blood vessels. It is not a big deal at all.

The most important thing is that all medical expenses can be reimbursed and my father can stay in the ICU and die naturally.

This not only alleviated his financial crisis, but also completely resolved the dispute between him and his mother, and the original moral dilemma was perfectly resolved.

He was instantly moved, but he was still a little hesitant. He felt that this thing was too pie-in-the-sky, so good that it made people wonder if it was a scam.

The other party won't turn against the person after the operation and just refuse to pay, right?

However, Director Cui's next words completely dispelled all doubts in his mind.

"Don't worry, Sanqing will sign a formal agreement with you. As long as you sign, they will pay the medical expenses directly without you having to pay a penny from beginning to end."

The man nodded immediately: "Okay, I promise you, where can I sign?"

Director Cui showed a faint smile that he had not seen for a long time, and waved his right hand forward.
