The Heart-wrenching Story of the First Patient's Family in 'Fantastic Doctors' Tests the Depths of Humanity
"I have wanted to see my son many times, but his mother has vehemently hindered it, and we are not that close." In the first family story of "Fantastic Doctors," the true test of human nature is revealed. Luo Hai Tao, who has already started a happy new family, faces a risky decision of donating his liver to his ex-wife's son. However, his considerations go far beyond what meets the eye.
01 Due to his ex-wife's obstruction, Luo Hai Tao is unable to meet his son and is informed that in every failed marriage, it is often the children who suffer the most. Despite divorcing his ex-wife, Luo Hai Tao has never abandoned his son. In fact, he has always loved him dearly, and his son also longs to be close to his father. However, due to the mother's interference, their father-son relationship has become distant.
Luo Hai Tao has pleaded with his ex-wife numerous times to allow him to see his son, but he has not been successful. It is only when his son falls ill and requires a liver transplant that Luo Hai Tao learns about his son's critical condition and hastily rushes to the hospital. Both his ex-wife and the doctors at the hospital openly and covertly persuade him to donate his liver, to save his own son and give him a chance at life.
The male protagonist, Chen Hui, even follows and tracks Luo Hai Tao, hoping to convince him to donate his liver. After all, undergoing surgery is a frightening prospect, and who wouldn't be afraid? Luo Hai Tao lies, claiming to have fatty liver disease. If one can understand this, they can comprehend Luo Hai Tao's hesitation, pain, and uneasiness. When Luo Hai Tao's daughter is born, there is a juxtaposition of a photo of Luo Hai Tao with his daughter and an anxious mother in front of the ICU, representing both joy, symbolizing life, and pain, symbolizing death.
Liver transplantation surgeries have a relatively high success rate nowadays. Initially, it was thought that this would be a fulfilling story, but it unexpectedly concludes as a tragedy, perhaps to portray a great fatherly figure. Luo Hai Tao passes away due to postoperative bleeding, leaving behind two women, a sick son, and a newborn daughter.
