NovelEnglishWhen cancer reached the end stage, any part of the patient's body may be in danger at any time, and it would
subsequently be life-threatening.
This was because the entire body system was like an ever-higher stack of building blocks that were already on
the verge of collapse and could ccrashing down at any moment.
What's more, Smith's son was only twelve years old, and his body had long been stretched to the breaking point
throughout his years of fighting cancer.
In addition, the tumor in his brain was getting bigger, and after his vision and hearing were affected, his
emotions were so intense that the doctors had had to give him a sedative. All of these were factors that were
speeding up his demise. Smith looked at his son in the hospital bed through the window, and he felt extremely
desperate at this moment.
He knew that he had lost even after working hard for so many years.
Just then, a doctor cup to him and said with a little respect and sympathy, "Mr. Smith, Jimmy's condition is
really bad. I'm afraid that he won't be able to survive the night. Do you think that we should still prepare

strong personal connections in the United States' medical system.
Therefore, Smith was able to constantly use the world's most cutting-edge anti-cancer technology on his son.
It was also precisely because of this that the doctors at the hospital also attached extrimportance to his
son.
Right now, the doctor also knew that Smith's son had no chance of survival. However, given Smith's strong faith,
he still wanted to consult Smith's opinion to see if he still wanted to do a final resuscitation for his son.
No matter what a person's status or background was, once a person was seriously ill, he would be without
dignity. In fact, he would not only be without dignity, but he might also have to suffer the greatest pain in the
world.
Many means of resuscitation would
cause great damage to the body. For instance, when there was a cardiac arrest, strong means of
cardiac resuscitation might breake
the patient's ribs, and cardiac defibrillation may also lead to skin burns. When there were breathing difficulties,
doctors would even need to intubate the patient's trachea or attach a great number of tubes to the whole body
before giving the patient a variety of equipment for extracorporeal circulation.
After this series of resuscitation, spatients might have a chance to regain their lives, but for end-stage
cancer patients, going through such a large array of
resuscitation would only
it
more likely for their lives without dignity to continue persisting for a few days longer.
The hospital where Smith's son was located was called Mayo Clinic, and it was the best oncology hospital in the
United States and even in the world. Moreover, the Washington campus us was the newest and most
sophisticated clinic that they had invested huge financial and material resources to build this year.

The doctors here had extremely rich experience in saving lives and almost represented the peak level of current
medical treatment of cancer. They had a great reputation worldwide.
The global medical institutions also had a very high evaluation of Mayo, and all kinds of rumors could be
summed up in just one sentence: Even if Hades from Hell wanted a person to die on the third night, Mayo would
keep him alive until the fifth night. Therefore, Mayo's doctors were also sure to let Smith's son live a few more
days by resuscitating him at all costs.
However, it all depended on Smith's wishes.
After all, in the doctor's opinion, the child had experienced too much pain, and at this time, there was absolutely
no need for him to continue enduring another round of hellish torture before leaving this world.
At this time, Smith's eyes were already flushed red as bean-sized tears rolled down his cheeks.
He hesitated before finally sighing and saying, "Forget it... Just let him spend his last days quietly and peacefully.
| don't want him to go through any more torture..."
The doctor nodded with a grim expression on his face before he spoke up and said, "Mr. Smith, you've made a n
incredibly good decision, and I'm sure Jimmy will thank you for it.
