Chapter 36 Not...a Good Mage

The surgical position adjusted by Chen Ang was excellent. Strange observed the clear and clean surgical field of view, and realized that he hadn't noticed when Chen Ang adjusted the patient's surgical posture, but the surgical field of view through the window opened by the pull hook The patient's brachial plexus can be clearly seen.

The ivory-white nerves are as thin as silver threads and as thick as tendons, surrounded by a film-like sheath.

The black fungus is linear and has grown into the film-like sheath. The black fungus is entangled with the nerves. It parasitizes on the nerves. The black veins spreading on the ivory white nerves are particularly conspicuous. It was even moving slowly, making Strange's scalp tingle.

The brachial plexus is composed of the anterior rami of the fifth to eighth cervical nerves and most of the anterior rami of the first thoracic nerve. It passes through the scalene muscle space, travels behind and above the subclavian artery, and enters the axilla through the back of the clavicle.

The fibers of the five roots of the brachial plexus first synthesize the upper, middle, and lower trunks, and the branches of the three trunks surround the axillary artery to form the medial bundle, the lateral bundle, and the posterior bundle, and the branches from the bundle are mainly distributed in the upper limbs and part of the superficial chest and back muscle. But now the fungus infected by the wound has taken root in the medial bundle, lateral bundle, and posterior bundle, spreading to the brain from the three branch nerves on one side, and spreading to the thoracodorsal nerve, long thoracic nerve, axillary nerve, musculocutaneous nerve, Median, radial, and ulnar nerves develop.

The main nerve root has been infected, and the thinnest part of the black line of fungal infection has developed in the direction of the nerve branches of the upper chest muscles, superficial back muscles, and deep neck muscles.

If the fungus infects the nerve endings, the consequences will be disastrous, and the patient's entire upper limb will be controlled by the parasite.

But now the nerves of the upper limbs are no longer considered. Going up along the three stems and branching nerves is the most complicated brain pool area of ​​the brain. The brain pool is located at the bottom of the brain. It is a complex area where the brain, brainstem, and cerebellum intersect. The activities are complex and precise, and it is the most important and deadly area of ​​the human body.

It can be said that it is important to operate on the cerebral cortex and lobes, but even if the operation fails, or some brain tissue is accidentally removed. That doesn't matter too much, the patient will not die immediately, at most there will be some sequelae of daze, mental retardation, and unresponsiveness.

There is enough time and reason for doctors to use various excuses to shirk responsibility.

Therefore, this part of the brain has been used for various important medical breakthroughs, such as the notorious lobotomy in the last century. Aren’t the mental patients who have had most of the front lobe removed alive and well? And quiet, docile like a small animal, so that this operation is hailed as the dawn of the cure for mental illness.

This sensational result until people discovered that the reason why the mental patients did not get sick was because they lost the ability to get sick, because they became semi-vegetative, and the most essential ability that distinguishes human beings from other animals-thinking, was deprived! When this therapeutic mechanism was discovered, the surgery was outlawed.

However, the brain pool is different from the brain lobe, which can be used to achieve results in the last century. Before the creation of microneurosurgery, this area was once called a forbidden area. The death rate of using a knife here is basically equivalent to terminal illness. .

It is also because microneurosurgery breaks through the restricted area of ​​the brain that it is qualified to be called the crown of surgery.

Strange, as a former neurosurgeon who is proud of his profession, deeply honored, and devoted his whole life to it, knew that his hands were crippled by a car accident and had to switch to a legal profession. Of course, he knew the tricky position. Judging from the danger of the fungus parasitizing the nerves, once it spreads to the brain pool, where the nerves are enriched, the rescue can basically be declared ineffective.

He had to remind Chen Ang: "We must first prevent it from spreading to the brain cisterns. Once it reaches the cerebellum magna and premedullary cisterns, it can infect the brainstem and cranial plexus at the top, and spread to the spine at the bottom. If the infection reaches this level , it is basically hopeless!"

Chen Ang observed the fungus silk calmly and said, "It's okay!"

Strange said nervously: "We have to race against time... Are you still in the mood to say 'it's okay'?"

Chen Ang answered unhurriedly: "It's really okay... the fungus didn't develop a nerve plexus,

They are still simple neural structures. It can be seen that they are parasitic on human nerves, allowing them to imitate human neural structures, but they have not continued to develop... It is really fortunate. This time it worked out! "

Strange watched the fungus spreading continuously on the nerves, and felt very anxious. Out of his professional confidence, he had to question: "I think the situation is very bad... Once the fungus infects the brain, we will The patient can be declared dead!"

"Young man, stay calm. The situation is not as bad as you imagined!" Chen Ang still said calmly.

Strange jumped anxiously: "Isn't this the worst? We just sit back and watch things develop to the worst. What could be worse than this?"

"In my surgical career, this is considered simple!" Chen Ang said with emotion: "There are many more unlucky than it, such as the discovery of nerve plexuses on infected fungi, which proves that fungi can not only make simple nerve reactions , but to be able to 'think' and carry out complex neural activities...that would be a relatively difficult situation."

"It will react more complexly to your behavior."

Strange understood what Chen Ang said, and it was precisely because he understood that he felt fear. Once the fungus can carry out complex neural activities, in the most optimistic situation, it will be 'smarter' than a parasite in the brain. And they don't know anything about this fungal parasite, how it will respond to external stimuli, and what stimulation related drugs will cause it.

Strange couldn't help sweating coldly, and said, "This is really a worse situation!"

"What's that!" Chen Ang sneered, "Don't forget, these fungi come from highly intelligent alien races, and I've prepared them to develop a complex nervous system before the surgery, and the only ones that are better are dogs. The intelligence quotient of a dolphin can reach the level of a six-year-old child like a dolphin. Think about it, if the fungus parasitic on the nerves has the thinking ability of a six-year-old child..."

Strange shuddered. It was an impossible operation. Surgery was an extremely precise and precise task. What doctors hated most were variables, and a six-year-old child parasitizing a patient's nerves was no longer a variable—it was simply is a disaster.

While exposing the brachial plexus more in the field of vision, Chen Ang said with emotion: "Although the fungus has relatively advanced intelligence, it is already relatively difficult, but in my experiment... no, it is not the most difficult in my surgical career. of."
