Heartbeat hauv lub fwj Honors hlub ones tom qab Donation

"Kuv yuav mus tsev? Kuv yuav ua li cas nrog nws lub tsheb?"

Kuv sawv hauv kuv surgical scrubs nyob rau hauv ib dim, excruciatingly sov tsev kho mob chav tsev kho mob nyob rau hauv lub ICU ntawm ib qhov chaw loj trauma, nrhiav rau hauv lub ntsej muag strangely blank ntsej muag ntawm ib tug poj niam kuv NW nyuam qhuav paub. Nws yog nws tus hluas nraug dag supine rau lub tsev kho mob txaj nyob rau hauv qhov chaw ntawm chav tsev. Nws yog nws tus phooj ywg zoo tshaj plaws, tus txiv neej nws yuav tos 42 xyoos mus ntsib. Nws hlub nws dev, brewed nws tus kheej npias, hated smartphones, thiab yuav kho txhua yam tawg lawm. Nws muaj, tsis paub thiab incomprehensible vim li cas, sab laug piam lawm hauv lub chaw nres tsheb ramp ntawm lub tsev kho mob, ib hlab ntsha hauv nws lub hlwb tawg lawm, yuav ua rau lub hlwb tuag. Tiam sis cas, nyob hauv lub midst of no unimaginable tu siab, tus poj niam no tau nug nws tus nais maum yog hais tias nws yuav pab tau ib tug neeg los pub nws organs. Li ntawd, peb tuaj, nrog peb dov suitcase khoom siv thiab peb pib peb kev tshuaj ntsuam, siv sij hawm nyob rau hauv nws chav tsev, ordering tshuaj, piv txwv li, labs, khij tasks tawm ib daim ntawv teev thaum nws saib. Peb zaum nrog nws, peb listened rau nws cov dab neeg txog nws, muab nws cov ntaub so ntswg thaum nws quaj thiab dej ces nws tsis tau dehydrated. Peb hais rau nws pw tsaug zog, qhia nws noj, thiab reassured nws peb yuav nyob nrog nws thaum nws mus tsev, tab sis nws yeej tsis tshuav nws sab. Thaum nws tsis quaj, nws twb qhia leej twg uas yuav mloog zoo siab li cas nws twb yuav txuag lub neej.

"Qhov no yog ib feem ntawm peb ua hauj lwm uas ris kuv los ntawm cov teeb meem nyuaj tshaj plaws, menyuam neeg nyob rau hauv cov moments phem moments ntawm lawv lub neej zaub qhov zoo tshaj plaws ntawm tib neeg. Kuv colleague Mary, ib tsev neeg txhawb coordinator, hu nws "intimate heroism" - ib kab lus uas kuv twb loj hlob hlub."

Li no kuv twb, qhia nws peb tau pom qhov yuam kev, tias neeg tau hu xov tooj qhia rau lawv tias lawv lub neej tau txog hloov, thiab peb yuav tau mus phais sai. Tab sis kuv twb tseem qhia nws nws yuav tsum tau hais goodbye, tsis rau nws raws nraim – nws tau txais tias nws twb tsis ciaj sia tab sis rau ob txhais tes nws tau tuav, thiab qhov uas nws hnov tsw, thiab lub suab ntawm nws lub plawv beating thaum nws nteg nws lub taub hau rau hauv nws lub hauv siab. Muaj ntau yam me me hlub txog ib tug neeg, thiab kuv twb nug nws hais goodbye rau tag nrho lawv rau lub sij hawm tas los no. Kuv tau ua li no ib puas 175,000 zaug, thiab txhua tus neeg muaj ib cov tshuaj tiv thaiv txawv, ces lub rooj sib hais nws nug, kuv mus rau hauv qhov teeb meem-solver hom. Kuv pib tham txog kev ua hauj lwm kev ua hauj lwm, thiab cabs, thiab siv lo lus "chaw muab kev pab" kuv tsis paub ntau npaum li cas. Nws shook nws lub taub hau thiab hais tias nws paub tsav, tab sis nug ntev npaum li cas nws yuav nyob hauv lub tsev kho mob ua ntej nws tau raug puab yuam tawm. Nws tsis tau coj nws tus kheej txav nws lub tsheb. Kuv tsis to taub txog thaum nws piav tias nws tau uas tau tsav mus rau lub tsev kho mob, thiab lub rooj zaum yog tseem nyob rau hauv txoj hauj lwm nws muaj tshuav nws nyob rau hauv. Nws yog tsawg kawg yog ib tug ko taw taller dua nws, thiab thaum nws tshuav, nws yuav tsum tau txav lub rooj zaum kom mus zoo raws cov roj pedal. Nws tsis tau dais tus xav tias lub rooj zaum yuav tsis tau nyob ntawd txoj hauj lwm puas dua. 

Cov no yog cov moments ua ib donation coordinator uas kuv muaj cov helpless feem ntau. Koj xav li cas lwm tus saib lub neej yav tom ntej nrog ib lab reminders ntawm no tuag?

"Kuv xav muab nws ib yam dab tsi tangible coj nrog nws, ib yam dab tsi uas nws rau nws tuav; Txhua yam kuv hais tsis nyuaj nyias thiab tsis muaj zog. Kuv tuav nws txhais tes thiab hais rau nws kuv yog thov txim, tias nws yuav nyob mus txog rau thaum nws tau npaj tawm mus."

Tom qab ntawd, ob peb tus neeg mob tom qab, ib lub tsev kho mob coordinator hu ua Katelyn luam ib co heartbeat tracings los ntawm ib tug neeg mob saib, poob tawm ob peb iav fwj nws yuav ntawm Michael lub tsev nyob rau chav tsev, thiab nug kuv ua tej yam no hu ua "Heartbeats hauv lub raj mis" – kuv hlub txhua yam txog lawv.

"Muaj ib yam dab tsi tseem ceeb heev, ces viscerally paub, txog ib heartbeat. Nws pom tau tias zoo li nws muaj ntau tus neeg ntawd dua lwm qhov ntawm lawv."

Thaum kuv muab lawv rau tsev neeg donor, ua ntej yuav muab hlais tawm lawm, lawv tau li appreciative thiab kov los ntawm cov taw lawv quaj nrog tej yam uas tsis yog crushing kev tu siab thawj zaug nyob rau hnub. Raws li kuv zaum hauv lub dav hlau ntawm txoj kev hauv tsev los ntawm rooj plaub ntawd, kuv txiav txim 200 fwj rau Amazon. 

Kuv pib muab lawv rau txhua tsev neeg, txawm tias cov ones uas hais tias "Tsis muaj" los pub dawb. Nws yog ib txoj kev los qhia rau lawv tau muaj rau ntau tshaj xwb ib transaction, uas peb tsis cia li xav tau ib yam dab tsi los ntawm lawv, tias lawv hlub ib tug tsis yog ib lub cev uas ua hauj lwm, tab sis ib tug neeg uas yuav tsum tau ciaj sia thiab hlub. Kuv pib muab lub fwj rau lwm coordinators, thiab zoo nkauj ntev kuv txiav txim ntawm 200 fwj tau ncaim. Thaum ntawd los, nws yog tseeb tias cov heartbeats hauv lub raj mis yuav tau gifted ntawm peb pab neeg rau peb tsev neeg rau ib teev loj.  Ze li ntawm tag nrho cov neeg mob hauv lub ICU tau ib EKG los yog nyob rau hauv plawv xyuas, ua rau nws yooj yim mus luam ib tracing thiab upload nws mus rau hauv lawv daim ntawv qhia electronic. Tam sim no, txhua tsev neeg pub tsev neeg tau txais li 15 heartbeats hauv lub raj mis, thiab yog hais tias lawv thov ntxiv, peb luam cov strip rau lawv coj nrog lawv thiab ua nyob rau hauv tsev. Tsev neeg tau ua lawv mus jewelry, muab lawv ntawm pam tuag, tso lawv nyob rau hauv cov tsiaj khoom rau cov me nyuam; Lawv muab lawv rau mantle daim, rau lawv nightstands, los yog nqa lawv qhov txhia chaw lawv mus. Kuv twb txawm tau tuaj pov ib leej txiv nrog nws tus ntxhais heartbeat 18 xyoo tom qab nws tuag. Cov me tokens peb muab kuj yog ib txoj kev tangible rau peb acknowledge thiab yawm lub neej ntawm peb hloov, nyob hauv lub midst of lawv cov neeg tuag.
