It is also because of this that the doctors at the hospital are extremely attached to his son.
Right now, the doctor also knows that his son has no chance of survival, but in view of Smith’s always strong faith, he still wants to consult Smith’s opinion to see if he still wants to do a final resuscitation of his son, again.

Cardiac defibrillation may also lead to skin burns; breathing difficulties, doctors even need to intubate the patient’s trachea, or even attach to the whole body all sorts of tubes, and then attach to the patient a variety of equipment for extracorporeal circulation.
