death of hope

Chapter 165 "Corporate Warrior" (81) Intensive Care

In the next three days, the wound was repeatedly infected, and multiple organs showed signs of impending failure.

Fortunately, human medicine has made great progress in recent years,

By absorbing alien biotechnology, many incurable diseases and widespread plagues that have existed for thousands of years have been overcome one after another, and the life span of human beings has almost doubled. Of course, the premise is that you must be rich.

Day and night, doctors and nurses come and go,
Sigurdlifa was either pushed to the operating room and disemboweled, or lying in the intensive care unit like a pool of rotten meat.

The strong anesthetic made her unable to distinguish between reality and dream, day and night, and she was in a trance all day long, and she was almost a vegetative state.

Her body was wrapped in bandages like a newly unearthed mummy, the medicine was changed every 6 hours, and all kinds of tubes and wires were inserted everywhere in her body.

The most painful thing is not the operation with a knife, nor the severe pain caused by wound infection, but lying in the same position all day on the hospital bed, the huge pressure on the spine and core muscles,
This slowly accumulating pain cannot be relieved even by anesthetics, just like Prometheus was tied to a pillar and his liver was eaten by a giant eagle.

Although the air conditioner has been working and the temperature and humidity are suitable, bean-sized beads of sweat continue to roll from the forehead.
In order to replenish the electrolytes taken away by sweat, the nurse added mineral supplements to the infusion bottle to maintain the vitality of the cells.

The consecutive operations were finally coming to an end, and the recovery period was about to begin. The injury gradually stabilized, and the dose of anesthetic was gradually reduced. The wounded was in a conscious state, and the pain followed.

The severe pain from the wound and the broken bone from time to time, coupled with the pressure on the spine caused by the long-term bed rest, was so painful that Sigdrifa never wailed and complained.

Gritting your teeth, clenching your fists, bearing all this silently,
There was no movement during the dressing change, and every time the doctor tore off the pus-soaked bandage, it felt like a large swath of skin had been ripped off.

Unlike other patients, she frantically kicked and struggled while changing the dressing, saving the doctor a lot of effort.

Everyone in the hospital admired her very much. Most of the injured patients in her situation were crying and begging the doctor to euthanize themselves.

The nurse had just changed the medicine that day, and the nurse raised the bed so that she could sit up and see the front. At noon, members of the Alpha Tactical Team came to visit.
When five people wore blue plastic protective suits through the disinfection room and entered the intensive care unit, everyone was shocked except for Wang Hongye who had come in to accompany her before.

There was a mummy-like guy lying on the hospital bed, his arms and legs were in plaster casts, his body was covered with wires and tubes, his bright silver-gray eyes had also dimmed a lot,

Oxygen tubes, food diversion tubes, urinary catheters, defecation bags, monitoring chips, blood pressure monitors, oximeters, hemodialysis filters, and so on are a bunch of lines, which makes people feel pity.

In order to make her feel more relaxed, everyone discussed in advance, not to mention work, but to say some humorous things.

"Big beauty, your outfit is really unconventional."

Shaft puts a bouquet of flowers on the table; "Cyberpunk style mummy, grave robbers dug out of alien pyramids."

A bouquet of violets was exactly the color she liked. Sigurdrie wanted to laugh, but her lungs hurt sharply when she exhaled, and her smile became distorted.

"Beauty, you look like you've eaten a pound of shit."

"Ahem... Just laugh at me, don't regret it when I can move."

"It's better to stay in the hospital for this kind of violent maniac who still thinks about beating people after being so virtuous."

Wang Hongye sat beside her, holding her bandaged hand:

"How do you feel, does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt at all," she lied.

"Sister Sig is innocent and cute. She can't tell a lie well. There are beads of sweat on her forehead. My eldest sister will wipe it off for you."

"Thank you, Big Sister, for coming to help me scrub my body these days, apply prickly heat powder, change the urine tube, change the urine bag and the excretion bag, and you don't think I'm dirty."

"It's good to know, treat guests as soon as you go out!"

"Ha, just this miser still treats guests. Treating you to a bowl of ramen can kill her." Shaft interjected: "Beauty, I want to help you clean your ass and change your urine tube, those bastard doctors The nurse won't let me in! "

"With your cunning face, you can't be a serious person at first glance. It's strange to let you in."

Everyone laughed loudly, and the head nurse outside the door reminded them not to make any noise.

"Cut! The old witch is too wide!" Shaft stuck out his tongue.

"Don't curse! The head nurse is just doing her duty!"

Wang Hongye continued: "Sister Sig, thanks to you, our team gets a long paid vacation."

"What the hell did they... do to me... I always feel like something is missing."

"Don't worry," Lodayev said with a smile: "People have two kidneys, you just lost one of them."

"Ah? What... what!"

Terrified, Sigdrifa tried to sit up straight, only to find herself strapped to the bed.

"Don't move around, there are too many pipes and wires attached to your body."

"I want to see the cut in the waist."

"Don't worry about it. A kidney was indeed removed. According to the doctor, he transplanted a kidney from a male death row prisoner. That guy was sentenced to death on 11 colonial planets."

"Really...really?"

"In order to avoid rejection, the doctor closed part of your immune glands, and now the man's kidney is fully integrated into your body, releasing male hormones, congratulations, beauty, soon, you will grow a beard And chest hair too.

"Ah? This..." Sigdrifa felt as if she was about to suffocate.

Lodayev finally couldn't help laughing: "Haha, I'm sorry, it's just a joke. There are no kidneys from executed prisoners, and the transplanted artificial kidneys are genetically bred."

"Scared me to death..." Knowing that he would not grow a beard, Sigurdriefa let out a sigh of relief: "Wait, why is my right leg getting thinner? Are all the muscles atrophied?"

Lynch replied: "You have been shot several times in your right leg and stepped on a landmine. The wound is seriously infected. The doctor can only cut it off and replace it with a genetically bred new leg. The functions can slowly recover, but the muscles are still there. Gotta retrain."

"At that time, seeing that long leg that was sawed off, I felt complicated." Shaft said, "I've always wanted to appreciate your beautiful legs, but I didn't expect it to be done in this way. It's extremely disgusting."

Wang Hongye gave her a thumbs up: "Sister Xige, you are such a man, you didn't scream the whole time, if it were me, I would definitely want to die from the pain."

Lodayev nudged Wang Hongye with his elbow: "Hey, how can you boast so much?"

"I mean, Sister Sig is very manly, don't just stick to words."

Sigurdriff looked at Lynch and asked a question: "The conditions here are too good. The top-level medical team and equipment, and the technology that I have never heard of, don't seem like ordinary people can enjoy it."

"I, I have used some human relations a little bit. This is a theater hospital of the Terra Federation Navy."

"Slightly...to use interpersonal relationships..." Lodayev curled his lips: "Boss, you are too modest, this place is as luxurious as a star hotel, and the toilet paper is all famous brands.

The person next door is a vice-admiral. Politicians and officers come to give gifts every day. The relationship between the boss is too good. Don't be humble. If you are too modest, you will be suspected of pretending to be X! "
