I have a feeling we will sink or swim together.
-
Mr Drake, your heart is not functioning properly,
-
and, as a result, your pericardial sac is full of fluid.
-
I am proposing first to withdraw
-
the fluid and then to inject the adrenaline
-
to stimulate the heart and restore normal activity.
-
Is it dangerous, Doctor?
-
The draining may stop the heart,
-
and the adrenaline may not be able to restart it.
-
Mrs Drake, the choice is simple.
-
If your husband endures this procedure,he may live.
-
If not, he will die.
