那么，梅尔医生，也许我可以问一下，我们女儿近期的大部分脑电图显示出脑穗，不过这并没有改变格拉斯哥昏迷量表上的值。这是为什么呢？

Susan: What an excellent question.

问得好。

让梅尔医生今晚休息一下吧。她今天做了一个10小时的手术，是开颅术。

Renee: That's exactly the procedure Jane had. How'd it go?

简不也正好接受该治疗法吗？怎么样？

Susan: Uh, well, I, it just, wow. I hear my phone vibrating. (into her phone) Hello, Dr. Mayer. Yeah, what? You say that his brain shut off? Oh, I'll be right there, um, stat! (hangs up) I'm sorry, duty calls.

好吧，就是。我听到手机震动了。你好，我是梅尔医生。什么，你说他脑死亡了？我马上就到，待命。很抱歉，公事缠身。
