Corinna finally got the result she wanted - a place in the second phase of clinical trials.

Of course, it was after donating a donation of US$80 million to the Sanqing Charitable Foundation.

A hung heart finally let go, and the nerves that had been tense for a long time were relaxed.

She returned to the day care center in Haishi in a happy mood, with a smile on her lips when she entered.

The Vegetative Care Center is located in the suburbs of Haishi. A row of red-brick and gray-tiled houses are nestled in the lush woods. It is quite quiet and suitable for patients to rest.

Corinna is quite satisfied with the environment here. Although it is not as luxurious as her own manor, nor as high-end as the hospital in Swiss, the ward is a bit simple.

The manpower is also a little short, there are only two doctors and 20 nurses, one of whom is also the director.

But overall it's not bad. The facilities in the ward are not much different from those in the hospital.

Not only are there three common devices in the intensive care unit above the hospital bed: a blood oxygen monitor, a negative pressure suction device, and an oxygen inhalation machine.

The nurses are also very skilled in their nursing techniques, and it can be seen that they have a lot of experience.

The nursery center also has its own set of effective nursing standards, which are very professional and no worse than foreign medical teams.

Schumatz stayed in the best single room, which was clean and spacious, with a living room and bathroom.

Corinna and the medical team stayed in the ward next door. The conditions were pretty good and everything was available. There was nothing wrong with it.

With such conditions, the price is naturally expensive, but for Corinna, it is already high quality and affordable, far exceeding expectations.

She suddenly had a new understanding of Huaxia's nursing level.

On the hospital bed, Schumatz, who was once 1.74 meters tall, is now only over 1.6 meters tall, and his weight has dropped to 90 pounds. He is as skinny as a skeleton, like a skeleton.

Long-term bed rest caused all parts of his body to enter a state of disuse, and his muscles and bones suffered severe degeneration.

Even a billionaire with a powerful private medical team and top-notch brain technology, nine years of vegetative state has turned a strong and tough guy into a patient as frail as a child.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Suffering from such a terminal illness is undoubtedly a life worse than death. How long you can hold on depends on how great your family ties are.

After Corinna came in, she squatted beside the hospital bed and looked at her husband's familiar face, feeling extremely sad.

9 years, no one can understand why she can persist for so long.

Time and time again, she heard doctors issue death notices and suggested that she choose euthanasia, but she flatly refused.

She cannot live without her husband's company for the rest of her life. Even if she becomes a vegetative state, she must stay by her bed every day and accompany him through the last journey of her life.

Half of the family property has been sold, and the remaining money can only last another 9 years.

If Sanqing hadn't appeared, she would have gone bankrupt and watched her husband stop breathing, which might have been her best ending.

Fortunately, she finally had this last glimmer of hope.

She couldn't help but hold her husband's hands tightly and call softly.

She knew that her husband had a faint consciousness and could hear some of what she said, but he could not wake up.

This kind of affectionate call is a very good wake-up treatment, which can stimulate the patient's brain activity and speed up the awakening process.

She has always been like this, talking to her husband every day as if nothing had ever happened to him.

"Michael, I have good news to tell you. This day has finally come to me."

"You are about to wake up. When you fully recover, you can drive your favorite racing car again, speeding around the field, winning championships one after another, and breaking records one after another."

"This time, my son can stand by your side. He has become an F1 racing driver and achieved outstanding results in the races. Although he is still far behind you, it is still a good start.

…”

Corinna whispered in her ears about things at home and the competition. As she talked, tears rolled down her cheeks.

But she knew in her heart that these were tears of joy, completely different from the bitterness of the past.

"Wu Li~ Wu Li~"

Suddenly, a rapid whistle sounded, and Corinna got up and went to the window, just in time to see an ambulance driving into the daycare center.

Two nurses and several family members got out of the car, pushed the mobile hospital bed, and walked towards the building where she was located.

Bursts of conversation came over, but I couldn't understand a word.

But she could see that when the family members arrived, although they seemed a little overwhelmed, their expressions were already relaxed. They talked to the nurses from time to time, seeming to be explaining something, and seemed to be asking about the patient's condition.

Dean Xiang Yong quickly came out and took the patient inside.

When she passed by Corinna's window, she looked at the hospital bed with wide eyes. Her scalp suddenly became numb and her whole body froze.

It was a car accident patient, half of his head was missing, it was deeply sunken, and his head was covered with fine suture marks.

"This is much worse than Michael." She murmured to herself, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Then she remembered her husband's car accident again, and she suddenly felt a strange curiosity and wanted to go down and see the patients in this nursing center.

See what's going on with them?

How is your recovery going?

She called the translator and walked down the stairs to the first floor.

Passing through the corridor, you will see a ward. Through the large glass door, you can clearly see the scene inside.

There are a row of hospital beds on the left and right, ten on each side, and there are monitors above each bed.

A few nurses in twos and threes are giving medicine to vegetative patients.

And those patients all looked strange.

Corinna had never seen anyone like this.

No, they no longer look like people, but like plants.

Lying on the side, curled up, folding arms, lying on the hospital bed in various fixed positions.

In order to facilitate care, both men and women shaved their heads. As for the degree of fatness and thinness, it is usually related to the time spent in bed. The longer the person stays in bed, the thinner the person becomes.

Corinna saw a patient who was tall, but his whole body was covered in wrinkles, leaving only skin and bones.

This situation was very similar to her husband's. She could imagine that the patient's skin was like paper. It could be set with just a little pinching and could not be restored in a few minutes.

Unlike most hospitals and nursing homes, the wards here are brightly lit 24 hours a day, but there is almost no sound.

Occasionally there will be a rapid "whoosh..." sound, and it will soon calm down again.

This is the nurse suctioning the patient.

Most people in a vegetative state can only eat through a nasal tube, their throats are cut open, and a tube is inserted for breathing.

Therefore, phlegm often accumulates in the tracheostomy area of ​​their throats, and patients will cough or make a "snoring" sound unconsciously.

Corinna heard the familiar purring sound and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After taking care of her husband for many years, she has become accustomed to this voice.

It's like she is now getting used to looking at those people lying on the bed.

If there are no accidents, they will live like plants and die like plants.

The two walked silently between the wards and saw many nurses providing care.

The nurses saw them walking by and knew they were new patients' family members, so they didn't pay attention and focused on their work.

Sometimes, Corinna would stop and watch the nurses taking care of the patients, and she would watch with great interest.

Taking care of a vegetative person does not require many medical treatments, but is more about prolonging life.

There is a set of nursing standards in the nursery center, which include 5-6 liquid meals a day, 200g each time, turning over and patting the back every 2 hours, defecation at 2-3pm, and regular suctioning, etc.

But caring for a vegetative person requires more patience than caring for a newborn.

Because the immunity of vegetative people is much lower than that of ordinary people, it is easy to cause some infections. For example, if you stay in bed for a long time and cannot breathe freely, it will lead to pneumonia; long-term bed sores may also lead to bedsores, leading to infection and death.

Generally speaking, family members are not so professional and patient. Most family members can take care of you at home for a month, which is already very good.

Corinna actually did not take care of her husband herself, but hired professional nurses to take care of her.

But she likes to see her husband taken care of and clean.

Here, she also saw some impressive patients.

For example, an old woman in a vegetative state had her hair shaved cleanly. She had difficulty stretching her limbs because she had her legs wrapped around her for a long time.

She didn't know how long this old woman had been here, but seeing this scene, she still felt deep sympathy in her heart.

Some patients living here will move their eyes slightly, and when someone passes by, they will turn their eyes over, but this is just a follow-up movement of the eyeballs, and does not mean they are conscious.

Some patients can move half of their bodies, so nurses will play some music and TV series for them to stimulate their brains.

More patients closed their eyes or stared blankly at the ceiling.

When the nurse feeds liquid food through the nasal tube, their mouths will chew subconsciously according to the physiological reaction, but even if they pat their arms, there will be no reaction.

Corinna walked through the ward and discovered something surprising.

There are basically nurses in the ward, but very few family members. It is rare for one out of ten patients to have a family member by their side.
