Chapter 1030: A minor surgery by the way
In the afternoon, Yang Ping conducted routine ward rounds and walked around the ward of the headquarters. He then went to the ICU to see Aisha. The little girl's vital signs were stable after the operation.
Brian was also allowed to enter the ICU for his first post-operative visit. Seeing that Aisha's vital signs were normal and awake, he couldn't help but feel excited again. He also admired Yang Ping's medical skills.
And Brian had an idea. He wanted to donate his Nobel Prize to Sanbo Hospital. The money had been kept in the bank untouched. He used to plan to treat his granddaughter, but he never spent it. Now Brian wants to use it. This money is given to Sanbo Hospital, which specializes in studying outsiders, to help more outsider children. It is hoped that children from all over the world can come to China for surgery. Although the money is not a lot, it is still a heartfelt gesture.
After Brian visited his granddaughter, he and Maninstein carried the banner to the doctor's office. At this time, Yang Ping was reviewing Elsa's surgery with the doctors. This kind of postoperative review can accumulate experience and lessons, and improve everyone's health. surgical level.
Brian came to the doctor's office with the pennant. Because it was his first time delivering pennants and he had little experience, he acted very stiffly. Before August could say hello to Yang Ping, Brian stood in front of Yang Ping and immediately held his hands The body of the scroll banner is bowed at ninety degrees, and it is fixed in front of Yang Ping like a sculpture.
Yang Ping was startled by his sudden move. This gesture looked like submitting a letter of surrender instead of sending a banner. It looked weird.
"Professor Yang, in order to express his gratitude to you, Mr. Brian sent you a banner to express his gratitude. Please accept it." Maninstein could not speak such authentic Chinese with his own Chinese proficiency. This is Auguste gave him a draft, which he memorized in advance.
At this time, the doctor next to him also realized that Brian was obviously here to deliver the banner. He was suddenly in this position just now. No one could figure out what was going on. Yang Ping quickly stood up and took the scroll banner.
But Brian remained motionless in this posture. Maninstein thought he was too deep into the scene and patted him: "Okay, you can straighten up now."
I saw an expression of extreme pain on Brian's face: "I - I can't move now, and now my waist can't straighten up at all."
Maninstein immediately went to help him, and several doctors also hurriedly helped, helping Mr. Bryan to sit up. However, Mr. Bryan's waist could not move at all. He could not sit in this position, so he could only help him according to his own requirements. He moved to the side, holding the edge of the desk with both hands, continuing to maintain this weird posture, his face pale.
"Lumbar intervertebral herniation or lumbar spondylolisthesis?" Yang Ping immediately made a judgment for him based on the symptoms.
This is most likely due to the presence of intervertebral disc herniation or slippage in the lumbar spine, resulting in segmental instability. After bending down, either the intervertebral disc suddenly herniates and compresses the nerve roots, or the lumbar segments experience excessive relative displacement, and soft tissue is embedded during the displacement process. But it cannot be reset, and now it can only be maintained in this position. To put it simply, the lumbar spine is stuck.
"Normally I don't dare to bend down like this, but I forgot about it today. I bent down like this and now I can't get up. The back of my left leg is also very swollen and painful." Brian gritted his teeth and spoke with an extremely painful expression.
At this time, almost all doctors thought of this. They are all well-trained and excellent doctors, and their professional quality is very good.
"Help him go to the ward and ask Dr. Liang to come down and insert an analgesic pump into him, and push him down to do an MRI to see what's going on." Yang Ping ordered the doctors around him, and everyone immediately took action, everyone took their positions, and worked together. . Seeing how embarrassing it was for his old friend to send the pennant, Maninstein had already made full plans to open the pennant and read out the thank-you note above, and then everyone stood in a row to take pictures. But now how could anyone have free time to open the pennant and read out the thank you letter? Taking photos, everyone was concerned about his condition.
After hearing what Yang Ping said, Maninstein also agreed with this preliminary diagnosis. If this was true, this old friend would have been stabbed in China.
"It's been many years, so every time I don't dare to bend down, sometimes I can't straighten up when I bend down to pick up paper scraps on the ground. I always thought that my waist was sprained. Today, the symptoms are particularly severe. It feels like my waist is broken." After Brian said this, there was sweat on his forehead.
Someone pushed a wheelchair, but Brian couldn't sit in the wheelchair at all. He decided to walk to the ward like this. With the help of everyone, Brian walked to the ward step by step in this weird posture.
Everyone helped him lie on his side on the hospital bed, but he still maintained this position. His lumbar spine could not move, and the slightest movement caused piercing pain.
After he took a rest, Fatty Liang hurried over with equipment. With the assistance of a graduate student, he quickly inserted an analgesic pump into Brian for pain relief. In Brian's situation, ordinary people The pain relief method was not very effective, so Yang Ping simply put him on an analgesic pump.
After the pain subsided, two young doctors pushed him to the imaging department for MRI. Maninstein followed him. He didn't expect that his old friend's waist was so unsatisfactory that it ended up like this.
The results of the lumbar spine MRI showed that the 4/5th lumbar intervertebral disc had prolapsed and the 4/5th lumbar spondylolisthesis had occurred. The prolapsed huge nucleus pulposus had tightly pressed against the nerve root on the left side. The nerve root had become significantly edematous, and the degree of lumbar spondylolisthesis had reached level 2. Degree, in this case, surgery must be performed, not only to remove the prolapsed intervertebral disc, but also to reduce and fuse the lumbar 4/5.
"Old man, you are really lucky this time. The place of illness is at Sanbo Hospital." Maninstein congratulated Brian.
Brian thought that Maninstein was still laughing at him at this time, but when he thought about it, it was the same. He had been suffering from this disease for many years, and sooner or later it would become like this. Now that he was ill at Sanbo Hospital, he happened to find Professor Yang for surgery. Isn't that enough? Lucky?
"I agree with you, this is a lucky thing." Brian is also open-minded. In his heart, as long as his granddaughter is fine, everything else doesn't matter.
Maninstein added: "Just treat it like coming to China for a minor surgery."
"I just heard the doctor describe it. The operation is not that small. The prolapsed intervertebral disc must be removed, the remaining intervertebral disc tissue between the two vertebrae must be removed, and then bone tissue must be implanted between them. Finally, a special implant must be implanted. The screws firmly fix the two vertebrae together so that they will always grow together." Brian was curled up on the bed, still lying on his side. On the way to and from the examination, he had already asked about his surgery. Got seven, seven or eight.
In this situation, it is not a matter of whether you are willing to have surgery or not. The surgery must be done, otherwise you will go back to Sweden and let the Swedish doctors torment you. Swedish doctors only perform a few lumbar surgeries a year, and each of them has a perfect educational background. , the theoretical knowledge is also watertight, but the surgical volume is too low, and the surgical technology is definitely not as good as here. In the past, Brian would not stay in China for surgery even if he died of pain, and would crawl back to Europe. But now his perception has completely changed, and he really can't trust the skills of those superior men.
