Doctor's answer:

Medical Analysis: Hello, we understand your feelings, but based on your description, the patient's condition is critical. Their pupils are dilated, and they have no spontaneous breathing. Despite active treatment for a week without improvement, there is little hope for recovery. We hope you can understand this, but the patient is too young, so it is still necessary to consult the attending physician in detail and make a comprehensive judgment based on follow-up CT scans and other factors to avoid misjudging their life.
Advice: We recommend that you communicate in detail with the attending physician about the patient's condition and recovery prospects, as they have the most understanding. We wish the patient strength to endure this.
