The Godfather of Surgery

"Old man, why are you so weak? You made such a big noise just by sending a banner." Maninstein sat beside the bed and picked up the MRI film to look at it in the sunlight coming through the window.

Such a huge lumbar disc herniation is very rare, and there is also a second-degree lumbar slippage.

"I'm old, and the parts are seriously worn. What can I do? I'll trouble you to take care of Elsa these days." Brian sighed.

Maninstein comforted him not to worry: "There are doctors and nurses, don't worry."

"You have to think it over. If you really don't want to have surgery here, don't force it. I can send you back to Sweden." Maninstein needed to make it clear, so that the old man would not be unhappy and regret it later.

Brian immediately said, "I've already thought about it. I'll definitely have the surgery here. Where else can I find better medical skills than here? I've seen the level of those masters in Sweden."

"Okay, I've arranged the surgery for you. It will be tomorrow morning. With this pain pump, you can sleep well tonight." Maninstein accompanied Brian by the bed. He had found a caregiver for Brian. This caregiver is a medical student at Nandu Medical University and is now a senior undergraduate student.

The young man is very good at English, so he applied for hourly care here. This kind of care is not ordinary. The minimum price per hour is 20 US dollars. Bedridden patients like this need 24-hour care, which is 480 US dollars a day, which is several thousand yuan a day when converted into RMB. Many students from poor families are scrambling to come here to do this kind of high-end temporary care. Anyway, they can take a few days off without delaying their studies.

Therefore, the Institute of Surgery has not only driven the academic development of the entire Nandu Medical University, but also driven the economic development of the entire system, allowing some students who are usually in financial difficulties to find many part-time jobs.

For example, in the stem cell laboratory, the fees paid by Ivan alone are over 10 million US dollars a year. The digital medical laboratory is learning the operation of stem cell experiments and is also preparing to use its own technology to make money, and then feed back to scientific research to form a virtuous circle.

Brian's surgery was not a major surgery. The next day, his surgery was completed quickly. This gentleman did not expect to experience a complete medical treatment process in China. The experience was great, but the process was a bit too fast, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, in Sweden, even a professor like him, it is impossible to schedule an operation so quickly. Their surgeons may only perform one operation in the morning, and there are only two or three operations a day. In any case, it is impossible to do more than ten operations a day like here.

In order to thoroughly experience the medical treatment process in China, Brian asked to live in a three-person room, that is, an ordinary ward for three people. There is a curtain between each bed. It is relatively crowded and noisy, but it’s nothing. Being hospitalized is not staying in a hotel. The most important thing is that the medical skills are good and the surgical effect is good. Otherwise, what’s the point of giving a five-star hotel.

The student caregivers from Nandu Medical University have already started their work. In fact, it is not hard to be a caregiver for such patients. The main job is to turn over, feed, and sometimes wipe the body. As for defecation, there is usually no defecation on the day of the operation. Even if there is defecation on the second day, they are allowed to go to the toilet by themselves with the help of the caregiver. When they urinate, they hang a urine bag and help the nurse to record the urine volume.

The rest of the time is to sit by the bed and watch. If the injection is finished, turn off the upper switch of the infusion device and ring the bell to call the nurse.

In this way, student caregivers can enter the ward in advance to contact patients, understand the many difficulties of patients, and at the same time become familiar with the many hardships of medical staff. It can be regarded as an alternative internship.

Mannstein bought two fruit baskets, one for the nurse and one for the doctor. He was familiar with these things with August's guidance, but August was not able to sleep well these days because of him. He was often woken up in the middle of the night.

Yang Ping felt bad holding the banner sent by Brian, because the banner had caused him to have surgery in China, but it was okay, it was only a matter of time, and if it fell into someone else's hands, there would be no such good surgical effect.

Brian was a Nobel Prize winner, Yang Ping would not let him stay in the hospital here for nothing, and he must tap his value. He was a world-class professor of immunology. Currently, a large part of Lu Xiaolu's tumor laboratory research work involved immunology, which was just right for Lu Xiaolu to communicate with him more. Other students could also get in touch with him to broaden their horizons.

Academics must communicate more to make progress and broaden their minds.

Why was academic so prosperous in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period of ancient times when hundreds of schools of thought were contending? It was because everyone walked around all day, bragging and discussing together. Bragging and discussing were actually exchanges and debates. New ideas came out while talking. Sometimes others were good at what they had been struggling to break through, and what they had been studying for a long time might have been tried by others and was a dead end.

In fact, the value of publishing papers now is not only to record scientific research results, but also to let people all over the world see such results. This is another way of communication.

Yang Ping tried his best to create an environment for communication and keep his team at the forefront of the world. Although Yang Ping himself has a system, the system cannot give imagination. It is just a tool. To maintain curiosity and imagination, we must constantly contact the outside world and contact new things.

When Yang Ping came to conduct the first postoperative ward round, the young man accompanying him was very excited. The idol in his heart was standing in front of him.

"How was the drainage after surgery?" Yang Ping wanted to ask the doctor in charge, but the doctor was busy and the data was two hours ago, so he had to pick up the drainage ball hanging beside the bed and then look at the record on the nursing sheet hanging on the bed.

The young man casually said the latest drainage volume: "It has only been 10 ml since the operation, and it has not been poured."

"Does it still hurt after the operation? How are the feeling and muscle strength of the limbs?" Yang Ping asked while checking.

"I just checked it, and the muscle strength and feeling of the lower limbs are normal." The medical student accompanying is too active, answering first.

Li Guodong, who was in charge of the bed, took a look at him and felt that this kid was a little too active, but it was pretty good. He was so studious in his senior year and had mastered the physical examination of the nervous system.

After Yang Ping personally checked, it was true that the feeling and muscle strength of both lower limbs were normal, indicating that the effect of the anesthetic had passed and there was no nerve damage after the operation.

The young man who was accompanying actually had his own little plan in mind. He was not only here to make money, but also took this opportunity to get into the surgical research institute and get in touch with these teachers.

Being a caregiver here often, he naturally became familiar with all the teachers. After a long time, everyone was his network, so it was much easier to take the postgraduate entrance examination here.

If he gave people a good impression of being down-to-earth and hardworking during this period, as long as he could pass the test in the future, the teacher would definitely be willing to accept him.

This kid is a smart person, and he made plans in advance.

"Can you do physical examinations?" Yang Ping didn't know that he was a senior student at Nandu Medical University.

"He is a senior student of clinical medicine at Nandu Medical University, and the work-study department there sent him to our place to be a caregiver." Li Guodong hurriedly explained.

"To be a caregiver, you have to be able to endure hardships and not be afraid of dirt, especially when you are a caregiver for orthopedic patients. Turning over, urinating, etc. are all hard work." Yang Ping said a few words by the way.

Yang Ping wanted to see the urine volume, and the student accurately reported the urine volume, but Yang Ping still checked and calculated it himself.
