Chapter 727 Volume 6 Crimson Core

Tang En's work and rest schedule was finally normal - normal because he could now go to bed at night, wake up in the morning, and eat three meals a day.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and he could go through the discharge procedures immediately. But Stanley Meyer strongly disagreed. He thinks that he should continue to observe, so until now Tang En is still living in the intensive care unit, and Shania will take care of his daily life every step of the way.

During this period of time, Tang En received many calls from people who cared about him to inquire about his physical condition. His answer was always "I feel good, thank you!"

Most of the people who cared about him were his friends. His friends in Nottingham would personally visit him, chat with him, and help Tang En relax and relieve his emotions. The players of the team entrusted two people, George Wood and Eastwood, to come and send flowers and greetings. In order to prevent Tang En from getting emotional again, none of them talked about the team's recent situation, and Tang En didn't ask. It seems that he is really determined to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

Friends who were not in the local area called and sent text messages one after another. For example, Des Walker and Ian Bowyer, as well as the former forest ministers in the Brian Clough era, also expressed concern for the current head coach of the Forest team.

Dunn even received a greeting call from Michael Bernard from the far away America, which moved him to the brim.

Others who greeted him were the managers of Premier League teams. No matter how hard he fought on the court before, it seemed like he had revenge for killing his father. At this time, those things were forgotten.

Roy Keane called, Alan Shearer called. Even the head coach of the team like Benitez, who has been under the forest team for three consecutive years, sent a text message to greet him.

Evan and Alan also visited him once in the hospital, told him what Tang had said, and told him to take good care of his illness and don't think about anything.

Arsenal's head coach Arsene Wenger and Manchester United's head coach Ferguson even made a special trip from London and Manchester to visit Tang En. This put him in a very good mood for those two days.

In the past, he always thought that his bad mouth and character made him offend all the people in his circle who could be offended, but now that he was in such a catastrophe, those opponents must be laughing. I didn't expect these people to care about their own health. He had a small sense of accomplishment in his heart - I, Tony Twain, are not bad at all!

When the mood is good, the work of the heart becomes more and more normal. The smile on Stanley Meyer's face is gradually increasing. Shania would no longer be frightened - in fact, this was what Tang En cared about most.

These days, Shania is really haggard. She is going to go to the catwalk again, so she probably doesn't need to control her weight.

In fact, those Premier League head coaches have expressed their concern for Twain. It may be more because Tony Twain, a 40-year-old head coach, suddenly fell down and made them feel the pain in the winter just after Christmas. A chill—everyone is the same, no one is under much less pressure than others. Seeing Tang En, who was lying on the hospital bed and unable to continue working, would make them feel a little scared—would this be their future? On which day will I suddenly collapse on the sidelines of the game or the training field? Will I die from this? Tony Twain was rescued after being in a coma for twenty-four hours. He was lucky, and it had a lot to do with him being only forty years old. What about us old men? When it is our turn suddenly next time, are we ready? Will we still have such good luck? Can our body, which is aging day by day, survive this cold winter?

What Wenger said in an interview after visiting Tang En almost represented the common aspirations of all Premier League coaches: "I hope Tony is still as sharp, full of fighting spirit, able to withstand the pressure, and beat his heart. The last thing I want to see is His down. Seeing him in this position for years, I think I might be next..."

Ferguson also said: "I had a pacemaker installed four years ago. I can understand Tony Twain's feelings at this time. He feels that everything in this world is under control, but he is knocked down by his heart and pressure. I I can only use the experience of someone who has experienced it to tell him that it is not a big deal. I am sixty-eight years old, but I am still doing well in this position, receiving at least 90 minutes of intense stimulation once a week. I don’t feel tired at all, and I would like to continue working if possible.”

Roy Keane expressed his hope for Twain in short words: "I have already fully felt the different feelings brought to me by this new job. If he can return to the coaching bench, I think he will become the leader of all of us. A human hero. And then, when our two teams play, I'll applaud him."

No one wanted to be the second "Tony Twain", and no one wanted Twain to fall down. Because that would make them feel a little hopeless - is this what a football manager should be?

Tyne, the greatest head coach in the history of the Scottish Super League, died of a heart attack; the former Liverpool head coach Houllier suffered a heart attack in the match against Leeds, and it took eleven hours to save him; Nottingham Forest The legendary head coach Brian Clough even said "If I had to, I would rather shoot my grandmother for three points"; Taylor resigned from Aston Villa because of the unbearable pressure; Eleven-year-old former Newcastle coach Glenn Lord was diagnosed with a cerebral thrombosis after a heart attack; in 2004, Ferguson installed a pacemaker for his heart, just in case...

These examples are enough.

Now it's the turn of the "Forest King" Tony Twain who is fearless and thinks that no one in the world can subdue him?

※ ※ ※

The observation lasted for a week, and one day Meyer found him again. After checking his physical indicators, he said to Tang En in a negotiating tone: "Mr. Tang En, pretend to be a kid here." How about the thing?" He pointed to Tang En's heart.

Tang En was puzzled: "What are you pretending to be?"

"A lovely little thing - a pacemaker."

This term startled Dunn.

"That's not the old man..."

"As long as there is a problem with the heart rhythm, it is possible to pretend. It doesn't have to be the patent of the elderly, Mr. Tang En." Meyer looked particularly amiable today.

Tang En muttered in his heart. Didn't Stanley say that the situation is getting better day by day these days? Why do I suddenly have to install a pacemaker again? Could it be... is it actually worse?

"The teacher told me, Stanley. Is my heart failing?" he asked gravely, frowning.

After asking this question, Tang En could feel that Shania, who was holding his hand beside him, exerted a little more strength.

Unexpectedly, Stanley Meyer laughed: "You're recovering very well, Mr. Tang En. But if it breaks once, it breaks once." He pointed at Tang En's heart. "We can't guarantee that there won't be problems here in the future. Besides, your own situation determines... unless you plan to resign from Nottingham Forest and never do professional football again in the future, then you still have the possibility of controlling your career. Emotions. Are you willing to accept my suggestion, Mr. Dunn."

Tang En did not expect that what he heard was this. Tell him not to be a professional football coach?

Do not make jokes!

What else would I do? Don't be the head coach, just hang out at home and wait to die?

He suddenly thought of the dream he had when he was unconscious.

I definitely don't want to live that life again... what's happening here is my life and I may fail and I may be lying in a hospital bed like this but I fought here and will continue fight on.

"Hey, Stanley. I really don't know what else I can do besides doing this." Tang En laughed.

Stanley Meyer also laughed: "Look, I knew you would give that answer. So I asked you directly if you want to get a pacemaker instead of asking if you want to quit your coaching job first." Listen to me, Mr. Dunn. The occupation you are engaged in is a high-risk occupation for heart patients. The most brilliant cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in the world cannot guarantee a coach who suffers from heart disease. It won't relapse again...and the probability of relapse is terribly high. Have you ever heard of such a thing?" Here, Meyer paused.

Tang En motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.

"One year, Independent Television (ITV) installed a device for two Premier League coaches to detect their pulse, and asked them to carry this device out to direct the game. Generally speaking, the heart rate of a normal person is six per minute. Between ten and a hundred times. But the number displayed on the instrument is more than twice this standard! Generally speaking, such heartbeats only appear in astronauts and stock market bankrupts..." Meyer Spread your hands. "Being in such a heartbeat environment for a long time, I can't guarantee that your heart will not have problems again."

Tang En found that Shania was holding his hand tighter and tighter. He glanced at the nervous Shania, then turned his head and smiled at Meyer: "I'm afraid I can't answer you right now, can you let me think about it?"

Meyer pushed his glasses: "That's what it should be. After all, it's not just going out to buy a pack of cigarettes."

He turned and said goodbye.

Tang En looked at Shania. He knew that Shania had something to say, and he probably already guessed what Shania wanted to say.

But Shania didn't speak.

The two looked at each other, and in the end Tang En was defeated first: "I know what you are going to say, Shania. You want to persuade me to resign, right?"

Shania nodded.

"But this time I can't listen to you, Shania."

Shania pursed her mouth: "Why? Isn't life important enough?"

"Of course life is important, especially for someone like me who has died once. There is nothing more important in this world than being able to have life. But..." Tang En's tone followed a turning point, " But there is something as important as life—living.”

"Isn't that a meaning?" Shania frowned, she couldn't understand Tang En's words.

"Of course it's different. Living is not as simple as having life. Shania..." Tang En stared at the little fairy in front of him, "Your Uncle Tony is a very incompetent person. Apart from being the head coach, he does everything else No, nothing. If I quit this job, then even if I have a hundred years of life, I am not alive. You and football are the proof that I live in this world, which one I Not willing to give up."

Yeah, it's you guys who make me feel like I'm not dreaming now, nor was I dreaming in the past five years. The time is not long, but I have already left some marks that belong to me in this world. If I abandon football, the marks will gradually disappear with the passage of time. No one will remember me anymore. There is no evidence of existence and The meaning of continuing to exist, what about having life?

Walking dead, eating and waiting to die, muddling along, dragging along... these words should not appear in my life dictionary.

who I am?

Tang En, a clerk in Chengdu, died when he was twenty-six years old! Now I am 40-year-old Tony Twain, the head coach of Nottingham Forest!

Shania's sigh broke the silence in the room.

"I knew Uncle Tony would say that, you are such a virtue." She shrugged and spread her hands, "If you are not allowed to touch football, you will feel worse than death... As long as there is football, you can even forget about me... …Honestly, Uncle Tony, I've been jealous of football many times."

Tang En hugged Shania with a smile: "From now on, it won't happen. You have the same status in my heart..."

Unexpectedly, Shania smiled instead of anger: "How can you be so comforting? A normal way of saying it shouldn't be to look at me affectionately and say: 'From now on, you are the first in my heart '? Well, I promise you. But please pay attention to your health, and don't take my words for granted this time."

Tang En nodded vigorously: "Don't worry. I still have a long way to go in life."

People who are not afraid of death are often willing to die because they have lost their care and attachment to the world. The current Tony Twain is terribly dead...

※ ※ ※

Stanley Meyer is a good and understanding doctor. The method he prepared for Dunn was the best of both worlds. He would not have to worry about sudden sudden death, nor would he give up football for it. It is a good idea to have a pacemaker in the chest cavity.

Some people may think that it is exaggerated for a 40-year-old to install a pacemaker, but for Tang En, who was almost dead, this face issue is out of his consideration.

Both he and Shania agreed to undergo the pacemaker operation.

Before the operation, Meyer provided them with many pacemakers to choose from, of course, the improved R-wave suppression pacemaker he recommended most. And Tang En also likes this kind of pacemaker the most. Because it's an on-demand pacemaker.

When the patient's heart rate is normal or higher than the pacemaker's fixed pulse rate, the pacemaker does not work. Once the own heartbeat rhythm is lower than the natural frequency of the pacemaker, that is, the ventricular electrodes cannot sense the R wave generated by its own rhythm, the pacemaker will wait for a predetermined period of time, and immediately send pulses according to the natural pacing frequency Let the heart go to work. This is the most commonly used and most convenient pacemaker.

None of the other pacemakers were suitable for Tang En's situation.

In terms of pacemaker power, Tang En expressed the hope that there would be a battery that could last for a long time without needing to be replaced - he really didn't like coming to the hospital, and staying here for half a month this time made him extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, replacing the battery itself is a very dangerous operation, and this risk should be taken as little as possible.

Stanley Meyer smiled when he heard Dun En's special request, because he thought of something: "Although most pacemaker batteries claim to last ten years, they are actually only four or five years old. lifespan, but actually five years is not a short period of time... well, if you don't need to replace the battery for a long, long time... there is a power battery that should meet your requirements."

"What is it?"

Meyer snapped his fingers: "Nuclear batteries."

Hearing the word "nuclear", Shania's eyes widened and her face turned pale. She was visibly intimidated. Everyone knows what "nuclear" is and what harm it has.

Tang En obviously had the same worry, but he didn't show it clearly.

Meyer smiled and explained to them: "The technology of nuclear batteries is already perfect, so you don't have to worry about radiation. The maximum radiation dose is the same as that of the fluorescent powder on a luminous watch. Within a year, the human body accepts The total radiation dose is only equivalent to the dose of a chest X-ray. The battery is very strictly sealed, and the nuclear material inside is impossible to leak out. And even if there is a risk of leakage, installing a mercury battery will not reduce this. Once leaked, whether it is a mercury battery or a nuclear battery, it is a huge hazard to the body. Therefore, the safety standards in this regard are very, very strict."

Speaking of this, Meyer rubbed his chin and pondered: "I also think it is very necessary to require a battery with a longer service life... After all, there is a huge risk in the surgery to replace the battery, and it is very important for Mr. Tang En's work. It's very inconvenient to say... It's better not to open this thing that is planted under the skin too often. The nuclear battery is indeed a good choice!" He raised his voice, as if he agreed with this idea. "There are now 136 patients in the UK who have been fitted with pacemakers powered by nuclear batteries. The longest patient has had a pacemaker that has been working continuously for 34 years without a problem, and the battery is low. There is no sign of depletion. You must know that most patients will come to the hospital for an operation to replace the pacemaker battery on average every two to three years. How does it look, nuclear batteries are very cost-effective.”

Tang En whistled: "And it sounds cool too. Let's decide like this, nuclear-powered pacemaker!"

※ ※ ※

Five days later, Tang En was pushed into the operating room. Dr. Stanley Meyer performed the surgery himself and installed this extraordinary pacemaker for him.

Three hours later, the Affiliated Hospital of the Royal College of Medicine held a press conference, announcing to all the media that the operation to install a pacemaker for Tony Twain was very successful. From now on, Tang En has a heart powered by nuclear power.

This "core" is full of power in the days to come, and there has never been a problem. And because of this, Tang En was called "Twain of nuclear power"...
