Chapter 317: Willing to Give It a Try
"Oops, blood pressure has dropped!" An Zehan exclaimed.
The dog suddenly convulsed all over his body, and before he could be saved, he died in one fell swoop.
Failed!
Guo Xiang and Song Tingshen were silent.
After a long time, Song Tingshen spoke, "It's normal, it's strange if you succeed once." ”
"Clean up and autopsy to see what caused the death!" Song Tingshen said.
"Shall I come with Guo Xiang?" Ahn Zehan brought it up.
"Okay, check it out!" Song Tingshen nodded.
Guo Xiang and An Zehan began to dissect dog carcasses.
After checking the various organs, it was still the liver, acute failure, and the operation was not successful at all.
"Is the perfusion not doing a good job?"
"Or is it that the anesthetic has been used too much, and the liver has failed when it is removed?"
"Why don't you wait for death to take your liver next time?"
"There is also a possibility that something went wrong during the operation......
Everyone was thinking about various reasons, revisiting the surgery, thinking of the various possibilities, recording them one by one, and trying to avoid them when they did it next time.
They conducted an experiment every two or three days, but none of them succeeded.
Sometimes the dog dies during surgery.
Sometimes they die not long after the surgery.
Two of them didn't survive a day or two.
However, every time Song Tingshen asked them to dissect the body to find out the reason. Lessons learned.
After a month, the dogs all bought another batch.
An Zehan was a little discouraged.
"How long has it been? The professor has been doing this kind of surgery for several years, and if you don't have any patience, I think you should not do it. "Song Tingshen is very serious.
"No, I'm not impatient, but I didn't succeed once, it's really frustrating, if I can only live a few more days, I have a little motivation, but this ......" An Zehan said with a bitter face, "What is wrong?" ”
"Maybe the adjunctive medicine won't work? After all, they are animals, not people. Guo Xiang said.
But this can't be helped, and there is no need to directly use people to do experiments.
"Then adjust the dosage of the medicine." Song Tingshen said that although it has been adjusted according to weight, after all, the body and organs of animals are different from those of people, and it will take many experiments to find the best ratio.
At this time, the director of the People's Hospital, Mr. Wang, suddenly asked people to come to him, saying that it was a patient with advanced liver cancer, and his family asked for a liver transplant.
"How do they know about liver transplantation?" An Zehan is strange.
"It was I who mentioned to Dean Wang that we were doing this research, did he tell the patient's family?" Song Tingshen said.
"There's no liver donor?" Guo Xiang asked.
"Let's go back to the hospital."
Guo Xiang drove several people back to the hospital to find President Wang.
"Dean Wang, what's going on?" Song Tingshen asked.
"It's all the patient's family who has been begging us, and there is really no way, so I said that you are doing a liver transplant, but I also said that you have not succeeded, and they said that even if they don't succeed, they want to try, anyway, they are going to die, maybe there is hope for trying?" Dean Wang said.
"But there's no donor liver?" Song Tingshen said.
"It was such a coincidence that a prisoner happened to be sent over in the morning, and while working on the labor camp, he was accidentally hit in the head with a stone, and after rescue, he was brain dead."
"The prison guards also said that he had no relatives and was an orphan, and that no one would claim his body even if he pulled it back, and that his body would be donated if he could......"
"That person's blood type just matches the patient's, so I thought I should give it a try?" Dean Wang said.
"However, none of our experiments were successful." Song Tingshen shook his head.
"That's what I told the patient's family, but they were willing to try, saying that even if they died, they wouldn't blame us......
"What if they later regret it and say we had medical care?" An Zehan accosted, otherwise this would really be a rare opportunity.
"Yes......" This is also where Song Tingshen hesitated, it was not that he had never met such a patient's family before, it was good, but once they failed, they would make trouble.
"Let them sign an agreement with the hospital, and voluntarily let us try, they can't be held accountable if something happens." Guo Xiang said, "In order to express gratitude, they will not be charged for the operation fee, and some ...... can be reduced for them."
"I think so." Dean Wang nodded, this is a good opportunity, but I can't usually touch it.
"Let's talk to the patient's family." Song Tingshen said.
"Yes!" Dean Wang nodded and asked people to call the patient's family over.
"This is Dr. Song, who is doing liver transplant research." Dean Wang introduced Song Tingshen to the patient's family, "He is a professor of our Taiqing Medical University and an expert in hepatobiliary surgery. ”
"Hello Dr. Song!" The patient's family shook hands with Song Tingshen, and judging by his appearance, it should be the patient's son.
"We all know about my father's disease, and we have taken so many medicines, and I know what I should do in the hospital, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we are not willing to give up." The patient's son said.
"However, there may be no hope at all, and it may not even be able to get off the operating table." Song Tingshen said, "I might have lived a few more days, but if I had surgery, I might not have survived tomorrow." ”
"Is there really no hope at all?" The patient's son asked.
Song Tingshen shook his head, "I haven't succeeded yet, even the failure rate of the previous professors was 90%, and the 10% didn't live for many days, I don't want to lie to you......"
The patient's son pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, we will also admit it, my father and he is now ...... It's too painful to live......"
There was a sad look on his face, "We didn't care enough about him before, but I didn't expect ......"
said that his eyes turned red, "What a proud person he used to be, but now he is skinny, his hair has fallen out, he is incontinent, and he has no dignity at all ...... to live."
"If he really wants to live like this, he may not want to!" The patient's son said.
"But your father used to say that it would be better to live one more day." Song Tingshen said.
The patient's son smiled bitterly, "That's because he hasn't understood the severity of the disease, and now this is something he didn't expect, he told me yesterday, it is better to know than to die if he knew this......
After saying that, his head tilted to one side, and his eyes were full of tears.
Everyone was silent, not knowing what to say.
"If that's the case, then let's sign an agreement." Guo Xiang stood up, "You are voluntary, if there is an accident, you will not hold us responsible, of course we will do our best." ”
"There are a lot of people who are prejudiced against us doctors, thinking that doctors know how to make money, but in fact, we don't have a few dollars after an operation, what money can we make? If there is anyone who wants the patient to have something to do, it is our doctors in addition to the family. ”
"We are all parents and children, and we don't want to see tragedy happen, so what good is it for us if something happens to a patient? And to put it mildly, if we succeed, we will be famous, we will have fame and fortune, and we will become famous doctors, who wouldn't want to? Who wants to be scolded for deliberately doing something bad? ”
"So, you don't have to worry about this, we will do our best, but the current medical technology is really limited, and we are not sure, so it is better to make it clear." Guo Xiang said.
"I understand, I'll sign with you!" The patient's son nodded.
