My name is Hiro Hamada & in our last novel, Our daughter Maggie develop a heart defect & had to have a pacemaker implanted because she kept going through cardio arrest & now had to be medicated for life to prevent it. Now she's Baymax's new patient. Baymax make sure she eats healthy & get enough exercise. It her first day of 8th grade for a seven your old. Odd huh. That the educational law back in San Fransokyo. It all started when Baymax was b tutoring her about healthy choices of foods. He was holding up flash cards of vegetables.
Baymax: Now tell me Maggie what is this?
Maggie: "Broccoli"?
Baymax: "Correct. Now what's this"?
Maggie: "Carrots"?
Honey came into Maggie's room & saw her & Baymax on that table.
Honey; "Hey you too are up early?
Maggie: "Baymax got me up so he can teach me to eat more healthy".
Honey: "Well you need to get ready for School".
Maggie came downstairs for breakfast. Baymax served her oatmeal with cut-up strawberries mixed in to make it more kid-friendly & gave her her medication I came downstairs getting ready for work.
Hiro: "I'm in a hurry. My boss has something big going on at the clinic so I need to grab something to go. Baymax, We need to get going so deflate in your charger."
Honey: "Beagle".
Hiro: "Thanks. Oh Maggie have a good day. I wish I would say bye but I'm in a hurry".
I head out the door carrying Baymax to the car.
Honey: "Bye. Eat up Baby. we need to go."
I got to the medical center parked in my assigned parking spot in the garage & grabbed Baymax from the back got to the employee elevator, use my badge get in the elevator to the 2nd floor. I got in the clinic & clock in. Crystal my boss came up to me.
Crystal : "Hiro, I need to see you in my office now".
I went into my bosses office & sat down. I was almost time for the clinic to open.
Hiro: "Did I do something wrong"?
Crystal: "No not at all. You see we have a new patient coming in. She's 7 years old. She's artisicy handicapped. Her name is Kelly & got in a car accident & got a spinal cord injury. She will come in a wheelchair & She had a private nurse.
Hiro: "Why are you telling me all this?
Crystal got up & got something out from the safe & put it on a desk to show me.
Crystal: "What do you think this is"?
Hiro: Looks like a microchip".
Crystal: "Not just any chip, It's a microchip that may help spinal cord injury patients by implanting this chip into the patient's brain & sends single's to the spinal cords when program from a computer & with weeks of rehab, Patient's walk out the door with their legs.
Hiro: "Is there risk for this life saving opration?"
Crystal: "If the surgeon makes a mistake & hit the wrong area, The patient could stop breathing & needs to be on life support. This chip is a protocol & were testing it on an 50 year old that had s spinal cord injury & if it works, Kevin will get a miracle of life.
Hiro: "How mush this treatment cost the parents?"
Crystal: "Researches are asking for a million dollars for this treatment. Oh I forgot, Her parents died.
Hiro: "What?"
Crystal: " The airbags never went off & they were badly injured & died on the spot".
Hiro "So She an orphan. Who's looking after her?"
Crystal" Children's services is. She's living in a orphanage down the street from here".
Baymax popped his head in his office.
Baymax: "Excuse me but your spinal cord injury patient is here".
Hiro: "Thanks Baymax take care of her will you"?
Baymax: " it would be my pleasure".
Baymax close the door.
Crystal: How does he know"?
Hiro: Any medical word he hears makes him activated like "Injury" or "Hurt" or if someone say "Owe". I better get to work. Are we done"?
Cyrstal: "Yeah I guess we are.
I went out the hallway & close the door behind me & grabbed Kelly's chart at the Nurses station. In the waiting room, Baymax saw her at the fish tank tapping on the glass draw the fishes attention. Baymax went up closer to her.
Baymax: "Kelly? Hello I am Baymax. Hiro is ready for you."
Kelly looked up at the inflatable marshmallow. Baymax wheeled her in the exam. room & took her vital's. Baymax lift her up & put her on the exam. table. He helped her changed her in a gown & ly her down on the table. He notice the she had a foley catheter & hung her urine bag at the end of the table. I entered the room with her chart. I got my scethoscope on & listen to her heart & lungs, Kidney's, Liver & felt around her tummy & ask Baymax to turn to patient over & open her gown. I listen to her back & had to take x-rays.
Hiro: "Baymax, Go get a portable x-ray machine. I need to take some x-rays of her back".
Baymax got the portable x-ray machine & ask Baymax to get out of the room because the radiation may damage him. I put on my lead shield apron on & around my neck, Lower the machine closer to her back & started to take some x-ray's her back. After that, I close her gown up & turned her over. I told Baymax that he can come in now. I was on the computer typing down her health info.
Hiro: "Baymax, How's her vital's?"
Baymax: Well she develop a fever".
I stopped typing & walk toward Kelly & felt her forehead She did felt warm & I asks her a question.
Hiro: "Kelly? Did you know you had a fever"?
Kelly nooded her head no. I look back at Baymax.
Hiro: "She must have CIPA. She unable let us know that she in pain. Let me try something. Baymax hand me a needle. Ok Kelly, I'm going to poke you & you tell me if you feel it.
I starting to poke her arm. I ask her if she felt that. She nodded no.
Baymax: "What do you think what had happen"?
Hiro: "I think what happen is when she had the car accident, Not only it injured her spine, It must of trigger the nervous system & damaged it. Kelly, Did you felt pain before your accident"?
Kelly shook her head yes. All the sudden my phone rang & I answered it.
Hiro: " Hello SF Medical center Dr, hamada speaking?... Yea?...Ok I'll think of something. Bye.
Baymax: "What's wrong"?
Hiro: The orphanage was force to close down due to down payment. She'll have no where else to go. She'll be homeless unless she think of something but first I need to amit her in the Hospital at Children's. She can stay there until something comes up.
Baymax look down.
Baymax: "Hiro look"?
Hiro: "We shound change her catheter. Her old one is clogged. Baymax, go to the supply room & get a new foley catheter & a syringe with water for the balloon & get a new urine bag while your at it".
While Baymax gather supplies. I took her old catheter out & urine started to come out in the tub. I had to wash her off. Baymax came back the supplies. I use a new catheter & put it in her. Baxmax opened up the urine bag & I attached it on the catheter. I look my gloves off.
Hiro: Okey all done. Baymax contact the ETM to send an ambulance. We need to get this girl in a safe place. She can keep the gown on.
The ambulance came. As the ETM put her on the stretcher, She was kicking & screaming. I inject her with a sedative to relax her. After they took her, I wipe the table down & threw out her old catheter stuff in the medical waste bucket & wash my hands. & went in the break room & poured myself a cup of coffee. Crystal came in the break room to join me. She looked sad.
Crystal: "The 50 year old with a spinal injury passed away after the surgery. The hospital called. The experimental treatment failed. They implanted the chip in his brain & The chip shocked his whole brain & killed him. It was supposed to help him but the scientist miscalculated. It turned into a military chip".
Hiro: "I'm so sorry about that. I guess Kelly won't get the cure she waiting on. Now I have a bigger problem". The orphanages she was living had to close down because".
Crystal (interrupted) " I know I heard. So what's going to happen to her"?
Hiro: "Were figuring something out. Meantime, Were keeping her at children's".
Crystal: "There's nothing wrong with her. Why is she is in the Hospital"?
Hirro: "She has CIPA. Her spinal cord injury damage her nervous system. She said that she felt pain before her accident & Baymax found out that she got a fever & she couldn't felt it".
Crystal: "Oh man. She's really in trouble.
Hiro: "Oh one more thing. Step in my office.
Crystal followed me in my office & showed her the x-ray's I took of her back from the viewer.
Crystal: "You took these?"
Hiro: Yes look see that her spinal cord got ripped & wrapped around her nervous system .
Crystal: "Can it be fixed by surgery?"
Hiro: It maybe risky & dangerous."
Crystal: "So She like that for the rest of her life"?
Hiro" I'm afraid she is. I'm going to the Hospital tomorrow to run some tests on her.
I looked at my watch.
Hiro: "Oh I have a 2:00.
Crystal: "OK I'll put you on the Schedule that your at the Hospital tomorrow."
Hiro: "Thank you. Baymax, get my 2:00."
My 2:00pm was a 12 month old. I grabbed his chart. He's just here for his first check-up & his immune shots.
