The clinical death

Отрывок из книги

– Cardiac arrest! Urgently prepare a defibrillator! – the anesthesiologist quickly and clearly commanded, having heard a sharp squeak of a heart monitor that was very unpleasant to the ear and noticed a straight line on it that spoke only about one thing – about the complete absence of cardiac activity in the patient. Clinical death. We must act extremely quickly. Only seven minutes left while the brain is still alive. In the cold time until twelve. Clock is ticking…

But just now everything was just fine. The whole strangeness of what was happening was that the patient barely had time to perform standard premedication, intubate, connect a ventilator and give a mask anesthesia with nitrous oxide for a minute. Judging by the reaction of the pupils to the light, the patient sank into sleep completely and steadily. However, surgeons failed to make even a small incision on the operating field on the patient’s abdomen, limited by snow-white diapers and thickly lubricated with iodonate solution.

This completely plausible version finally calmed Nikolai Sergeyevich. So, what should we do now? If he is asleep, then you just have to go with the flow of the storyline of the dream itself, because it is not always possible to influence what is happening in the corners of your subconscious. Usually, a sleeping person simply remains at the mercy of sleep and is transferred from episode to episode, participating in the dream action proposed by the subconscious, while playing different roles in it, but, as a rule, being aware of himself only by himself.

Nikolai Sergeyevich decided to get up from the ground after all, and he easily succeeded. He found clothes on himself, but not an operating white coat, but a light gray lightweight suit with a jacket and trousers without buttons, some light soft fabric slippers were worn on his feet. The doctor brushed the remnants of the meadow grass from his trousers and jacket with his hand, looked around once more and walked with a confident step in a randomly chosen direction. Since he’s in a dream right now, it doesn’t matter where he goes or what to do. We just need to move forward somewhere.
