During the meal, Yang Ping called Su Nanchen and his wife over. No matter where they were in the world, connections were actually very important. Yang Ping had to expand connections for his uncle. As a scholar, having top-level connections in your own professional field allows you to exchange information in a timely manner and never avoid detours. This is extremely important in the field of scientific research.
Not only Su Nanchen and his wife, Yang Ping invited all the young talents from Nandu Medical University to have dinner together, so that they could 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 started or in progress. Science and technology must require exchanges in order to remain advanced.
Similarly, for Bryan and Maninstein, they also hope to maintain close contact with these Chinese scholars to maintain communication in the academic field. Even if they are Nobel Prize winners, it is difficult to guarantee that they will always stand on the world stage. At the forefront of academic research, results only represent the past, not the present.
The trip to Nandu Medical University not only increased Brian's confidence in his granddaughter's surgery, but also gave him a new impression of China's current scientific research level, changing his previous stereotypes. Full communication can eliminate prejudice.
Next, Yang Ping began to prepare for Aisha's surgery. Because the surgery is very difficult and risky, various preoperative examinations must be complete and meticulous. The omission of any 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 many things to do and was simply too busy. Not only did he actively participate in the preparations for Aisha's surgery, he also took this opportunity to have a secret conversation with Mr. Huang, the chairman of the organizing committee for Yang Ping's wedding. In addition to the solo program he also contributed, he also presented a secret keynote for the wedding. program, this program is regarded as a big gift to Yang Ping, which is 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 the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, but he engaged in basic medicine after graduation. Research, the main research area is human immunology. Therefore, Brian is very interested in the development of medicine in China. Now that he is in a Chinese hospital, he will naturally not miss observing and researching Chinese hospitals.
Maninstein didn't have time to accompany him. He wandered around Sanbo Hospital by himself. Everywhere he went, whether it was the outpatient hall, the surgical building and the internal medicine building, there were seas of people. He found it very strange that this kind of thing It is impossible to put it in Sweden.
Sweden has a population of just over 10 million people in a land area of more than 400,000 square kilometers. It is not surprising that such huge crowds of people are rarely seen.
Moreover, Sweden’s hierarchical diagnosis and treatment means that ordinary patients cannot see specialists at all. The first thing ordinary patients see is a family doctor, that is, a general practitioner in a clinic. There is no such thing as general outpatient clinics in those specialist hospitals. All patients in specialist hospitals are It is recommended by the family doctor level by level to make an appointment.
Top experts also do not have the term "general outpatient clinic", so ordinary patients cannot come to specialized hospitals at any time, nor can they see doctors at any time. Patients have only one way to see a specialist, which is to make an appointment with a family doctor. This process is very long and takes about seven days on average. More than ten days. Ordinary patients come to specialized hospitals according to appointments and do not have the right to choose a doctor. They can only arrange for a doctor to be arranged by the hospital.
Of course, the wealthy group is different. They can enjoy services that go far beyond basic medical care, such as private hospitals and private wards. They have enough money to open the way without waiting, and they also 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 poor. Gradually, he discovered that this kind of scene is the greatest freedom and equality in medical services. Although it is not perfect, it guarantees medical treatment. Maximize equal utilization of resources.
Of course, compared with Sweden's hierarchical appointment system, the medical experience here is certainly not as good, but there is no need to wait for a long time to see a doctor like in Sweden. They can see a doctor quickly, get a diagnosis and complete treatment.
The more he learned about it, the more interested Brian became in Chinese hospitals. He wandered around, looking for people to chat with, hoping to get 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 him. Brian's native language is Swedish, but his usual The working language is English, so I am almost as proficient in English as my native language.
Professor Brian met Zhang Lin in the outpatient clinic. Zhang Lin greeted Brian in English. As soon as Brian heard that he met someone who could speak English, he immediately chatted with Zhang Lin and asked about the situation of the outpatient clinic here, because he was now familiar with the situation here. Everything is curious.
Zhang Lin happened to be taking a few students with him and felt that it was time to show off his English. He immediately spoke a lot in English confidently, which sounded fluent and correct, but Brian didn't understand a word of it.
In the end, Brian, who looked confused, could only tell Zhang Lin: "Can you communicate with me in English?"
What I said was English, but I didn’t understand a word. It was really embarrassing. Zhang Lin stood awkwardly in front of the students. The students next to him all looked at Zhang Lin. Why can’t foreigners understand Mr. Zhang’s English? .
"He speaks Swedish." Zhang Lin explained to the students, then made an excuse and led the students to evacuate in despair.
Zhang Lin also couldn't figure it out. He had also passed CET-6 and studied carefully according to the textbook. How could he not be able to speak English well when encountering this real foreigner? He and Robert had always communicated in Chinese before and had not noticed this problem.
On the contrary, Professor Zhang Zongshun's Chinese English allowed him to communicate with Brian without any barriers. Brian simply moved a chair to sit in Professor Zhang's clinic and listened to Professor Zhang's outpatient treatment. Brian was shocked when he learned that Professor Zhang, who was 80 years old, could actually see more than 40 patients in one morning.
In Sweden, not to mention such senior experts, an ordinary doctor in a clinic can see up to 10-15 patients a day, while senior experts in top specialty hospitals can see about four or five patients a day, which is about one morning. The number of visits for two or three patients includes the doctors' rest time, because after every patient they see, they need to drink coffee, listen to music, and relax before continuing to see the next patient.
This eighty-year-old doctor saw more than forty patients in one morning. If Brian hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it was true, because it was simply beyond his knowledge.
Lack of cognition is such a terrible thing. Brian once took care of a Chinese doctor who used to be a doctor. Brian often asked him about Chinese medical matters. When the doctor said that Chinese doctors often When he saw more than a hundred 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 completely lying. Now he felt the need to apologize to the doctor.
Full of energy and endless possibilities. This is Brian’s evaluation of China after coming to China to observe for a few days.
Little Aisha's surgery is finally ready, and Brian has finished his several days of overt and covert visits. He now wants to focus on his granddaughter's surgery. Mr. Bryan was arranged in the demonstration classroom, and Maninstein accompanied him to observe the operation through video, so that he could understand the entire operation process. To prevent Brian from pacing anxiously outside the operating room, Maninstein hated having people walking around in front of him.
Aisha's surgery was ready. Because the surgery was very difficult and a little carelessness could easily lead to serious consequences, Yang Ping performed the surgery himself.
The skin incision is a signature one-step procedure, with the scalpel gently slicing through the leaves, like the breeze blowing through leaves, from the middle of the chest to the upper abdomen. This kind of surgery must fully open the chest and upper abdomen to complete the entire operation.
The exposed surface skin of the heart was cut open with a knife, and the heart inside was exposed like a ripe fruit, but it was still covered with a layer of pericardium. Yang Ping carefully opened the pericardium, and the engine heart of the human body was completely exposed in front of everyone. Yang Ping needed to repair and relocate the engine.
The naked heart pumps on the screen, giving people an extremely strong visual impact. For ordinary people who have never seen a real surgical operation, this impact far exceeds the visual impact created by blockbusters.
Brian saw the pumping heart on the screen and stood up involuntarily. Maninstein held a remote control in his hand that could switch and zoom the screen. He immediately enlarged the picture of the heart so that it filled the entire screen and became a A close-up.
So shocking! Brian saw a heart beating in front of him for the first time, and what he felt at this moment was the impact of life.
"This is the life force of the human body - the heart. Is this your first time seeing this scene? If the heart stops beating, it means the end of life."
"The heart will stop after a while, and then it will restart after the operation is completed. This operation is very exciting."
"Did you bring your antihypertensive and angina-relieving medicines?"
Maninstein acted as the commentator for his old friend. The shocking pictures and professional explanation made Brian's heart beat faster.
When Brian performed VR simulation surgery in the Digital Medicine Laboratory of Nandu Medical University, it was just a game without any consequences. Not only would Brian not have any psychological burden, but he would also be full of fun experiencing VR technology.
But the surgery on the screen now is not a game, but a real surgery on his granddaughter. Once something unexpected happens, it is not something as easy as Gameover. It will be the loss of a fresh life.
The living heart beats rhythmically. This strong beating is a sign of life. Brian slowly sat back in his seat to calm down his nervous mood. Maninstein restored the screen to its default size so that he could see the entire operation.
After Yang Ping exposed the heart, he protected it with moist saline, and then began to open the sternum from the center of the chest. Using the crack in the sternum as the entrance, he used a spreader to open the entire chest, including the left side of the chest that was supposed to accommodate the heart. There is now only one lung, and the original position of the heart is empty, with nothing.
"That place was originally the home of the heart, but the heart has been wandering outside. It has been wandering for six years. Now it can finally go home. The road home will be full of unknown dangers. We will wait and see." Maninstein slowly explained each step sub screen.
"Thank you, but your explanation style makes me more nervous." Brian said after taking a breath.
The bottom of the left lung is empty, but of course it is filled with some loose connective tissue. Yang Ping cleaned up these useless loose connective tissues, and then began to follow the roots of the great blood vessels of the heart to find the path of the aorta and vena cava. This was not difficult. Yang Ping quickly separated the aorta and vena cava all the way to the point below the diaphragm.
The scientific name of Waixinren is Pentalogy of Cantrell. Several hospitals in China can now perform corrective surgery for this kind of deformity. However, for severe cases of Pentalogy of Cantrell like Aisha, almost no doctor dares to perform surgery, unless that person Doctors hold on to the patient's courage to die.
It seems simple to let the "heart" go home, but the technical requirements are extremely high.
Soon, all the goals of the surgery were revealed and everything was clear.
The chief surgeon is like a master of organization, and the messy things are clearly displayed in front of everyone.
The next operation is a major operation, which must correct the deformity of the heart, cut off the major blood vessels, and move the free heart into the chest, its original home.
With the injection of cardioplegia, Elsa's heart stopped beating, and his brain and body were maintained by extracorporeal circulation. Brian was shocked and couldn't help but sweat, because the cessation of heartbeat, even if it was temporary, meant that from a physiological point of view, Elsa was now in a reversible "death" state.
"What happens if the operation fails or the heart fails to beat again?" Brian couldn't help but ask.
Maninstein said calmly: "Death!"
''What's the probability? ”
"Although this is an extremely low-probability event, the question that falls on Aisha is whether it exists or not. It is the difference between 0 and 100%. There is no intermediate state."
After hearing Maninstein's explanation, Brian was very nervous at this time.
"Man, can you change your commentary style to an optimistic one?"
"No, I am a scientist and must respect objective facts." Maninstein replied.
The great blood vessels of the heart have been severed, which means that the heart has been separated from the human body and has become an isolated organ. Now the heart needs to be put into the chest cavity for re-anastomosis.
PS: 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!
