The Godfather of Surgery

Li Jun's head moved, and the director of the ICU said: "I should be waking up soon, but even if I do wake up, it would be better to be sedated."

The doctor in charge of the bed saw that Li Jun was waking up, checked his pupils and various reflexes, and then patted Li Jun: "Your cousin is guarding outside, so you can rest assured, don't be afraid, it will get better."

Li Jun's head moved more and more violently, his hands began to scratch, his feet kicked wildly, and he became restless.

"Restraint, don't let him unplug all the tubes."

The director of the ICU went up to hold down Li Jun himself, and called the nurse to put on the restraint belt.

Okay, why are you getting restless?

Robert and Takahashi have a good ability to play by ear, and each of them controls Li Jun's upper limbs.

Another ICU doctor and Song Zimo helped control the lower limbs. The nurse took out the restraint belt and began to restrain Li Jun.

"Calm down, calm down again! Be quicker!" the director of the ICU shouted.

The doctor took medicine from the ambulance next to him and prepared to strengthen the sedation.

Yang Ping stopped them and said: "Don't be too busy to calm down, let his cousin come in and have a chat with him."

A doctor immediately went out to call Qin Xiaowei, who happened to be guarding the family waiting area. The doctor took him into the ICU ward to change into an isolation gown, a mask and a hat.

"Li Jun is a little restless, talk to him a few words." Yang Ping instructed Tan Xiaowei.

Tan Xiaowei watched Li Jun's limbs being controlled, his body was still writhing, as if in great pain, and his heart felt like a knife was twisted.

Everyone gave up their seats, Tan Xiaowei stroked Li Jun's hair, whispered in his ear, "Ah Jun, I'm Brother Xiaowei, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm always here."

Qin Xiaowei's words were like a strong sedative. Li Jun twisted a few times, and then he stopped restless and struggled. Everyone tried to let go.

Li Jun didn't move, and the heart rate on the screen slowly returned to normal.

"Ah Jun, you heard me, I've been here all the time, I'm sure I'll get better, listen to the doctor."

Qin Xiaowei grabbed Li Jun's hand, and Li Jun seemed to be holding on to a life-saving straw, steadfastly holding onto Tan Xiaowei and not letting go.

In the ICU ward, family members can only come in for short-term visits under special circumstances, and must not stay in the ward.

"Ah Jun, be obedient. I'm not allowed to stay in the ward here. I'll be outside. If I need something, I'll be there right away. I'm here all the time. Don't be afraid, you know? It will definitely get better. There are doctors and me. "Qin Xiaowei stroked Li Jun's head, like soothing a mad lion.

Gradually, Li Jun let go of Tan Xiaowei's hand, and Qin Xiaowei stood up, feeling very sad.

"Don't worry, he's a little restless. Excessive sedation is not good for recovery, so I asked you to come in and meet him." Yang Ping explained to him.

Sometimes, the patient's psychological comfort is also very important.

Seeing that the situation had stabilized, the doctor in charge of the bed could not let Tan Xiaowei stay for a long time, so he took him out of the ward.

Qin Xiaowei walked out of the ICU ward step by step.

"The arteriovenous fistula in his left upper arm has been occluded, and a thrombus with a length of more than ten centimeters has formed. There is no way to remove the thrombus by thrombolysis, and the upper limb access is basically exhausted. I temporarily placed a catheter in his right femoral vein to meet the short-term hemodialysis needs. , first solve the urgent need, and in a few days, I will perform arteriovenous fistula formation on his left lower extremity."

The director of the ICU is also very skilled in the basic techniques of hemodialysis.

Li Jun can only perform hemodialysis at the bedside at this time. The ICU has a hemodialysis machine specially used for the bedside, which is very convenient.

The director of the ICU was talking, and a patient in another ward had a condition and needed rescue. He immediately went to direct the rescue.

In the ICU, this is the norm. They are all critically ill and life-threatening patients at any time.

Therefore, the ICU is known as the place with the highest mortality rate in the world.

Yang Ping looked at the monitoring data again, checked his pupils, and didn't know when he could go offline.

Coming out of the ICU, Qin Xiaowei was eating in the family waiting area. He was a little embarrassed to be seen eating, so he put it away immediately.

"Thank you, Professor Yang! I paid 300,000 yuan in, and I can pay it in a few days."

Qin Xiaowei bowed in a very humble gesture.

Yang Ping comforted him and asked him to pay attention to his body.

People always naturally have a good impression of the truth, the good and the beautiful, so Yang Ping respects Tan Xiaowei a little bit more for him.

August arrived at Sanbo Hospital on time.

Relying on his proficient Chinese, he asked for directions all the way and found the medical education office to report.

The fluent Chinese of the Germans made Director Zhou dumbfounded. The world is changing so fast, and he did not expect to be outdated before retiring.

Today's foreigners, how come everyone's Chinese is more standard than their own?

Both Takahashi and Robert, who have already registered and started formal advanced studies, are like this.

Originally, Director Zhou wanted to create a Chinese-English bilingual doctor's form, but now it seems that there is no need for it.

August sat in the medical education office, pointing at the form of the trainee doctor, read every word in a low voice, then signed, and presented a one-inch photo with both hands.

The secretary went out with the photo, and a few minutes later, the intern doctor's badge was made, and then the white coat was collected.

"Are you from Munich, Germany?"

Director Zhou was very curious.

August nodded: "Yes, Oktoberfest! Bayern!"

"Oh - I understand!"

Director Zhou himself imitated the flat-tone Chinese of foreigners.

However, August's Chinese is very standard, and it is not the kind of unfamiliar tone at all.

It was as if Director Zhou was a foreigner and August was Chinese.

"Bayern?"

The eyes of the director of the Medical Education Department lit up.

"I am often with the Bayern players, I am their friend!" August said.

Director Zhou tried: "Then you can get their signed jerseys?"

"It's a trivial matter, and it's not a problem to come to a dozen."

For August, it was all too easy.

August did not write his various titles in the training materials, he was not the director and secretary of the orthopedics department, and he did not know how low he was in Europe.

"That's it, Doctor Ao, we'll have a chat when we have time later." Director Zhou was very proud.

The director of the medical and educational department is a bit interesting, and there are also international students. I am afraid that there are not many hospitals in China that can do this.

Under the leadership of the officers of the Medical Education Department, August found the dormitory, which was a three-person dormitory, and the other two members were Robert and Takahashi.

The officer knocked on the door of the dormitory. It was Takahashi who opened the door. Robert was taking a shower. The two of them had just returned from training on the basketball court.

When he saw Takahashi, the classic image of the Japanese immediately appeared in August's mind, and he subconsciously took half a step back, feeling disgusted.

The dormitory building is one of several buildings in Sanbo Hospital. It is just behind the sports field. It was originally built to solve everyone's housing problem when the hospital was built.

But the hospital has developed to the present, and all the early employees have bought commercial housing in the surrounding real estate, and this building has become a dormitory. If the young staff of the hospital have not yet purchased a house, they can apply for a dormitory in the hospital. The rent is half of the market price, which is very cost-effective. And the room types range from two bedrooms and one living room to four bedrooms and one living room.

The dormitories for advanced students, interns, regular trainees, and graduate students of Sanbo Hospital are also set up here. The dormitory for advanced students is generally a three-person dormitory.

The secretary explained a few words and left.

The three often chatted on the forum, but it was the first time they met August.

"Takahashi, University of Tokyo!"

Takahashi held out his hand.

August disliked Takahashi's hand in his heart, so he used a Chinese-style clasping ceremony:

"Osteopathic Hospital August, Harlaching, Munich."

At this moment, after taking a shower, Robert came out of the bathroom. When he saw August, he knew that the Germans had arrived.

"It's a fate to meet you from thousands of miles away, Robert Jr., New York Hospital for Special Surgery."

Robert is very cultured, and he tries to use idioms and poems every time he speaks, so as to make him different from others.

"That's your room!"

Robert pointed to the room.

So far, the three giants in the orthopedics field in Europe, America and Japan have gathered in the dormitory of Sanbo Hospital.

——

At seven in the morning, Yang Ping goes to work.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw a miraculous scene.

Robert, Takahashi, and August stood in front of Zhang Lin almost at attention with their trainee badges hanging on their chests, accepting Zhang Lin's lectures.

"No matter which hospital you come from, no matter what level you were in before, when you come here, you have only one status --- a visiting student! I am Zhang Lin, the teaching secretary of the undergraduate department. You can call me Mr. Zhang. During the training period, if you have any questions , you can find me, I hope you——"

Every time a new student arrives, he will read the famous saying of a generation of kings.

Shift rounds, the old routine.

Cui Shukai has not been discharged from the hospital yet, his father has gone back to work, and his mother stays here with him.

The rehabilitation training of the back muscles has ended, and he is completely like a normal child.

This is the 176-degree C-shaped spine child on the forum.

During the ward rounds, August saw Cui Shukai in real life and couldn't believe it.

With a pleasant mood, the German checked Cui Shukai's spine, pressed one spinous process after another, and then compared the symmetry of the bilateral shoulder blades and iliac spines. He asked Cui to bend down to see if he could touch his shoes.

In the end, he let out a long breath, feeling like an ignorant person who didn't even know there was such a technology.

I stayed here for three months, followed Yang Ping to learn scoliosis correction, Yang's osteotomy in traditional surgery and external fixation techniques.

Mastering these two techniques can deal with all scoliosis patients, suppress Milton in one fell swoop, and convince that guy to surrender.

The tug-of-war with the British guy Milton for more than ten years once made August desperate. The seesaw always kept a balance, and even the chairman of the European Society of Spine Surgery took turns to sit.

This time, Milton must be raised to let the Brits know what the gap is.

Several patients in the ward came back to remove the external fixation of the spine, and each correction was very successful, almost perfect.

See it with your own eyes, and you can't be wrong.

August finally had a direct clinical understanding of spinal external fixator technology.

——

In the afternoon, the operation in the department was completed ahead of schedule.

In the office, August met with Yang Ping alone.

"Dear Professor Yang, hello! It is my honor to study with you. When we meet again, I bring a small gift to Professor Yang."

What exactly is the little gift of the Germans?

There seems to be no famous tea in Germany, right?

Yang Ping was puzzled.

"Professor Yang, I am entrusted by the Duke Fund and invite you to join. The Duke Fund is a low-key but powerful fund that funds medical research around the world. If Professor Yang is interested, the door of the Duke Fund can be opened to you at any time."

In addition to further studies, August's trip is with this mission.

The Duke Fund is not well-known in the outside world. It is a small branch of another hidden fund. The strength behind this hidden fund is strong enough to compete with the Rockefeller Fund.

"The Duke Fund's funding for projects usually starts at tens of millions of euros. My spinal cord injury research project is funded by the Duke Fund. If Professor Yang is willing, the spinal external fixator project will be included in the Duke Fund, which can be strongly promoted in Europe. More importantly What's more, for some patients with poor economic conditions, free treatment is available, and the benefits are more than that. The Duke Fund never appeals to the ownership of scientific research results, that is, if he pays, the results still belong to you. He is purely a family Charity fund, in Germany, the world's best machine tools and workers will produce Professor Yang's new products, and poor children can enjoy Professor Yang's technology for free, and it will benefit mankind."

If technology is really that magical, the duke said no matter the cost.

No matter the Japanese or the Americans, they can't compete with their chips anyway, and the Germans are very confident.

Yang Ping has never heard of the Duke Fund, but he believes in the honesty of the Germans.

Moreover, if it is only to obtain the core technology, there is no need to go around such a detour.

In fact, it is just a clinical experiment base. As long as the conditions are right, it is not a problem to give each person one place, and it is not a problem to give ten or eight places.

But for August, he thought there was only one place, so he was determined to win.

Germany's handwriting is really good.

"Thank you, Mr. August, your suggestion is very good. If this is the case, my spinal external fixator can go to the world and be used by more people, but I have to think about it."

"Thank you for your trust. Don't be in a hurry. Professor Yang can go to Europe when he has time to inspect several projects funded by the Duke Fund. You will understand that we must be the most reliable."

As long as Yang Ping didn't refuse on the spot, August felt that there was great hope.

The Japanese were very diligent, pushing the dressing trolley back and forth in the corridor, staring at Yang Ping's office from the corner of his eye, the door had been closed for half an hour.

Half an hour is enough to discuss some kind of cooperation.

And the Americans don't seem to care, because as the world's top orthopedic brother, the advantages of participating in this clinical trial are more obvious than anyone else.

Robert is confident that his relationship with Yang Ping is no worse than that of Takahashi. In Yemen, everyone has gone through hardships together and formed a solid friendship amidst the rumble of gunfire.

In addition, in the crisis of the professor's company, he is the protagonist, and the others are at most followers.

If it wasn't the New York Hospital for Special Surgery, who else could this quota be?

It's been forty-five minutes, no, an hour.

The door is open!

August came out of Yang Ping's office with a gloomy face, as if disappointed.

The cunning Japanese are just good at playing tricks, and really playing strategy and tactics depends on me, August.

August returned to the doctor's office in Takahashi's peripheral vision.
