The Godfather of Surgery

Chapter 1026 0 and 100%

During the meal, Yang Ping also called Su Nanchen and his wife over. No matter where in the world, personal connections are very important. Yang Ping must expand personal connections for his brother-in-law. As a scholar, having top personal connections in his own professional field can exchange information in a timely manner and never avoid detours, which is extremely important in the field of scientific research.

Not only did Yang Ping invite Su Nanchen and his wife, he also invited all the young talents of the entire Nandu Medical University to have dinner together, so that they can also have the opportunity to maintain close contact with world-class scholars and expand their horizons.

Relying on reading papers to grasp the cutting-edge trends of professional development has a serious lag. If a research has been published in a paper, it means that at least phased results have been achieved, rather than just starting or in progress. Science and technology must communicate in order to stay advanced.

Similarly, for Brian and Mannstein, they also hope to maintain close contact with these Chinese scholars to maintain communication and exchanges in the academic field. Even if they are Nobel Prize winners, it is difficult to guarantee that they are always at the forefront of world academic research. Achievements only represent the past, not the present.

The trip to Nandu Medical University not only gave Brian more confidence in his granddaughter's surgery, but also gave him a new look at China's current scientific research level, changing his old stereotypes. Full communication can eliminate prejudice.

Next, Yang Ping began to prepare for Aisha's surgery. Because the operation is very difficult and risky, all kinds of preoperative examinations must be complete and meticulous. Any omission of important information may bring disaster to the operation.

While waiting for the operation, Brian often wandered around the hospital, but Maninstein had no time to hang out with him. He had a lot of things to do and was too busy. Not only did he have to actively participate in Aisha's surgery preparations, but he also took this opportunity to have a secret talk with Mr. Huang, the chairman of the organizing committee of Yang Ping's wedding. In addition to the solo program he contributed, he also presented a secret heavyweight program for the wedding. This program was a gift to Yang Ping, which was also an important reason for Maninstein to come to China this time.

Unlike Maninstein, a familiar customer, Brian is completely unfamiliar with China. Although he is not a doctor, he also graduated from medical school. He is a top student at Karolinska Institute in Sweden. However, after graduation, he engaged in basic medical research, mainly in human immunology. Therefore, Brian is very interested in the development of Chinese medicine. Now that he is in a Chinese hospital, he will naturally not miss the opportunity to observe and study Chinese hospitals.

Maninstein has no time to accompany him. He wanders around Sanbo Hospital alone. Wherever he goes, whether it is the outpatient hall or the halls of the surgical and internal medicine buildings, there are crowds of people. He feels very strange. This kind of thing is impossible in Sweden.

Sweden has a population of more than 10 million on a land of more than 400,000 square kilometers. It is not surprising to rarely see such a crowd of people.

In addition, Sweden's hierarchical diagnosis and treatment prevents ordinary patients from seeing specialists at all. Ordinary patients first see family doctors, that is, general practitioners in clinics. There is no such thing as ordinary outpatient clinics in those specialized hospitals. All patients in specialized hospitals are recommended by family doctors one level up for appointment.

There is no such thing as a general outpatient clinic for top experts, so ordinary patients cannot come to specialist hospitals at any time, nor can they see doctors at any time. There is only one way for patients to see specialists, which is to make an appointment with their family doctors. This process is very long, about 70 days on average. Ordinary patients come to specialist hospitals according to appointments, and have no power to choose doctors. They can only be arranged by the hospital.

Of course, the rich group is different. They can enjoy services far beyond the scope of basic medical care, such as private hospitals and private wards. They have enough money to open the way, without waiting, and have the power to choose doctors.

At first, Brian was very disgusted with this noisy and messy scene, and felt that the medical experience was very poor. Gradually, he found that this scene was the greatest freedom and equality of medical services. Although it was not very perfect, it ensured the maximum equal use of medical resources.

Of course, compared with Sweden's hierarchical appointment system, the medical experience here is definitely not good, but there is no need to wait for a long time like Sweden. They can see doctors quickly, get diagnosed and complete treatment.

The more he understood, the more interested Brian was in Chinese hospitals. He wandered around and chatted with people everywhere in the hope of obtaining some valuable information.

He came to the outpatient clinic of the Institute of Surgery. Everyone knew that he was a Nobel Prize winner, so they respected him very much. He was also very polite and would greet people when he saw them. Brian's native language was Swedish, but his usual working language was English, so he was almost as fluent in English as his native language.

In the outpatient clinic, Professor Brian met Zhang Lin, who greeted Brian in English. When Brian heard that he met someone who could speak English, he immediately started chatting with Zhang Lin and asked about the situation of the outpatient clinic because he was curious about everything here.

Zhang Lin happened to be with a few students and thought it was time to show off his English. He immediately spoke a lot of English confidently, and it sounded fluent, but Brian didn't understand a word.

Finally, Brian, who was confused, could only tell Zhang Lin: "Can you communicate with me in English?"

I was speaking English, but he didn't understand a word. It was so embarrassing. Zhang Lin stood awkwardly in front of the students. The students next to him looked at Zhang Lin in unison. Why couldn't foreigners understand Teacher Zhang's English?

"He speaks Swedish." Zhang Lin explained to the students, then found an excuse and led the students away in disgrace.

Zhang Lin couldn't figure it out. He had passed the English Level 6 test and studied seriously according to the textbook. Why couldn't he speak English well when he met this real foreigner? He had always communicated with Robert in Chinese before and had never found this problem.

On the contrary, Professor Zhang Zongshun's Chinese-style English could communicate with Brian without any obstacles. Brian simply moved a chair and sat in Professor Zhang's clinic to listen to Professor Zhang's outpatient consultation. When he learned that Professor Zhang was 80 years old and could see more than 40 patients in the morning, Brian was stunned.

In Sweden, let alone such senior experts, even an ordinary doctor in a clinic can see at most 10-15 patients a day, while senior experts in top specialist hospitals can see about four or five patients a day, and two or three patients in a morning, including the doctor's rest time, because after seeing each patient, they need to drink coffee, listen to music, and relax themselves before continuing to see the next patient.

This doctor in his eighties saw more than 40 patients in a morning. If Brian had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed it was true, because it was simply beyond his cognition.

Lack of cognition is such a terrible thing. Brian used to lead a Chinese doctor who used to be a doctor. Brian often asked him about some things about Chinese medical care. When the doctor said that Chinese doctors often saw more than 100 patients a day, Brian no longer wanted to communicate with the doctor, and he was always very disgusted with the doctor because he thought the Chinese doctor was dishonest and was completely lying. Now he feels the need to apologize to the doctor.

Full of vitality and infinite possibilities. This is Brian's evaluation of China after he came to China and observed it for a few days.

Little Aisha's surgery was finally ready, and Brian also ended his days of investigation. He now wanted to focus on his granddaughter's surgery. Mr. Brian was arranged in the demonstration room, and Maninstein accompanied him to watch the surgery through video, so that he could grasp the progress of the whole operation. In order to prevent Brian from anxiously pacing back and forth outside the operating room, Maninstein hated others walking back and forth in front of him the most.

Aisha's surgery was ready. Because the operation was very difficult and the slightest mistake could easily lead to serious consequences, Yang Ping performed the operation himself.

The skin incision was a signature one-cut flow. The scalpel gently passed, like a breeze blowing through the leaves, from the center of the chest to the upper abdomen. This operation must open the chest and upper abdomen completely to complete the entire operation.

The exposed skin on the surface of the heart was cut open with one knife, and the heart inside was exposed like a ripe fruit, but it was now wrapped in a layer of pericardium.

Yang Ping carefully opened the pericardium again, and the human engine heart was completely exposed in front of everyone. Yang Ping needed to repair and move this engine.

The naked heart pumping on the screen gave people an extremely strong visual impact. For ordinary people who have never seen a real surgical operation, this sense of impact far exceeds the visual impact created by blockbusters.

Brian stood up involuntarily when he saw the pumping heart on the screen. Maninstein held the remote control that could control the switching and zooming of the screen. He immediately enlarged the picture of the heart, making it fill the entire screen and become a close-up.

It was so shocking! Brian saw the heart beating in front of him for the first time, and at this moment he felt the impact of life.

"This is the life force of the human body-the heart. Is this the first time you see such a picture? If the heart stops beating, it means the end of life."

"The heart will stop beating later, and the heart will be restarted after the operation is completed. This operation is very exciting."

"Did you bring antihypertensive drugs and angina relief drugs?"

Maninstein acted as a commentator for his old friend next to him. The shocking picture and professional commentary made Brian's heartbeat accelerate.

When Brian performed VR simulation surgery in the Digital Medical Laboratory of Nandu Medical University before, it was just a game without any consequences. Brian not only did not have any psychological burden, but was full of fun in experiencing VR technology.

But now the surgery on the screen is not a game, but a real surgery of his granddaughter. Once there is an accident, it is not as easy as Game over. It is the loss of a living life.

The living heart beats rhythmically. This strong beating is a sign of life. Brian slowly sat back in his seat to calm his nervous mood. Maninstein restored the screen to the default size so that the whole process of the operation can be seen.

After Yang Ping exposed the heart, he protected the heart with moist saline, and then began to open the sternum from the center of the chest, using the crack of the sternum as the entrance, and used a spreader to spread the entire chest cavity. The left chest cavity that should have accommodated the heart now has only one lung, and the original heart position is empty, with nothing.

"That place was originally the heart's home, but the heart has been wandering outside. It has been wandering for six years. Now it can finally go home. The way home will be full of unknown dangers. Let's wait and see." Mannstein slowly explained each picture.

"Thank you, but your explanation style makes me more nervous." Brian said with a breath.

The left lung is empty below, of course, filled with some loose connective tissue. Yang Ping cleaned up these useless loose connective tissues, and then began to start from the roots of the large blood vessels of the heart, and followed the vines to find the path of the aorta and vena cava. This is not a difficult task. Yang Ping quickly separated the aorta and vena cava, all the way to the position below the diaphragm.

The scientific name of the exocardial is Cantrell's pentalogy. This deformity can be corrected well in several hospitals in China now, but for severe Cantrell's pentalogy like Aisha, almost no doctor dares to perform the operation, unless the doctor has the courage to die.

It seems simple to let the "heart" go home, but the technical requirements are extremely high.

Soon, the goals of the operation were all revealed, and everything was clear.

The main surgeon was like a master of tidying up, and some messy things were clearly displayed in front of everyone.

The next operation was a major one. The deformity of the heart had to be corrected, and then the large blood vessels were cut off to move the free heart into the chest cavity, its original home.

With the injection of cardioplegia, Aisha's heart stopped beating, and his brain and body were maintained by extracorporeal circulation. Brian was shocked and couldn't help sweating, because the cessation of heartbeat, even if it was temporary, meant that from a physiological point of view, Aisha was now in a reversible "death" state.

"What if the operation fails or the heart can't be restarted?" Brian couldn't help asking.

Maninstein said calmly: "Death!"

''What's the probability? "

"Although this is an extremely low probability event, it is a question of whether it happens to Aisha. It's the difference between 0 and 100%, and there is no middle state. "

Hearing Maninstein's explanation, Brian was highly nervous at this time.

"Dude, can you change your explanation style to an optimistic one?"

"No, I'm a scientist and I must respect objective facts. "Maninstein replied.

The heart's large blood vessels have been cut off, which is equivalent to the heart being separated from the human body and becoming an isolated organ. Now the heart needs to be put back into the chest cavity for re-anastomosis.

PS: I'm sorry, I was studying abroad during this period, studying in the hospital where "Robert" works. Now I'm back and can update normally. Thank you everyone!
