20岁小哥靠充电维持生命，充电一次只能活8小时 - IT资讯
对于很多人来说，手机必须时刻都要是有电状态...要是没电就像少了半条命...
然而在英国有这样一个小哥....他每天需要担心的...是自己心脏会不会没电
小哥叫Jim Lynskey，今年20岁，是一个大学生.
他刚出生仅一周的时候就患上了扩张型心肌病，心脏功能衰弱，每天都需要靠药物来控制维持。
然而8岁那年，他的心脏再也无力支撑，出现了两次心脏骤停。
最后医生只能给他植入了心脏除颤器，让他在发生心律失常时或是心跳停止时能电击抢救.
就这样，小哥顺利度过了少年时期...
然而就在3年前，他的心脏再次出现问题...甚至出现了第三次骤停...
“我被送往医院，心脏感觉已经疯了，我不断呕吐”
“我可以感觉到每次我心脏要停止跳动的时候，除颤器就会给我一次电击。那种感觉就像是有人把一个无比重的东西从高处狠狠砸向你的胸口”
“接着...我的大脑已经是一片空白”
医生原本想要为他换一个新的除颤器，但那时候他患上肺炎，在多次的电击除颤下，他的心脏也已经不堪重负...
没有别的选择，最好的治疗办法是移植一个健康的心脏。
然而，等待器官移植的列表很长....
没有人知道这要等多久...很可能在等到之前...小哥已经支撑不住...
最后医生给他的建议是，装一个机械心脏！装了，他就可以继续活下去等待心脏移植...
“那时我唯一想的就是我不想死，不想要再让病情恶化下去”
小哥最后决定听医生的建议，装上了机械心脏
就这样，小哥成了英国最年轻的机械心脏使用者。
机械心脏，就像一个电动小泵，代替着原先心脏的功效，把用泵动血液循环。这颗心脏的动力由绑在他腰上的电池提供...
然而，电池的电量只能维持8小时..
他每天晚上都要给电池充电，出门也一定会带着备用电池..
给电池充电，就等于在他自己续命...
“事实上，我的生命周期就只有8小时”
这对他的生活带去了非常大的影响...他不能出门约会，不能和朋友同学去酒吧喝一杯。
如果有人不小心将饮料或者液体洒到电池或者电线上，他的机械心脏就有可能会出现故障。
最危险的是夜晚睡觉的时候....
他决不能睡过头...一旦他睡过8小时，没有及时更换电池和充电..他就会面临生命危险...
“有时我觉得自己就像机械人，感觉很不好的那种”
“我想交一个女朋友，但我没有自信，过着这样一种充满限制的生活也让我很难去遇到一个人”
小哥目前仍在等待心脏移植，直到等到一颗健康的人体心脏之前...他都必要依靠这个机械心脏生活...
像他一样渴求新生、等待器官移植的人还有很多很多...有些人因为等不到已经离开了这个世界...
小哥现在也在网上发起了活动...希望鼓励更多人成为器官捐赠者
嗯..就是这么一个每充一次电只能活8个小时的小哥...
希望他早日能成功移植心脏...回到一个正常人的生活...
