Chapter 779: The Possibility of Getting Back on Your Feet

There was an instant silence in the hospital room.

Not only Li Gaoliang was stunned, but even the nurses and doctors who came to change the dressing, and even Wang Peng, who had already walked to the door, were all stunned.

For a long time, no one spoke.

After about half a minute, Li Gaoliang's chapped lips trembled, and he looked at Lu Zhou excitedly.

“…… Are you sure? ”

I can get back on my feet!

Is this really not a joke?

As if awakened by Li Gaoliang's words, the stunned doctor finally came back to his senses and coughed and said.

“…… Please don't make such jokes with patients. ”

Even Professor Lu can't use this kind of thing to tease patients!

Thinking of this, the doctor and the nurse next to him looked at Lu Zhou's expressions and suddenly became less friendly.

Hearing the doctor's words, Li Gaoliang, whose eyes were originally bright, suddenly darkened again, and he laughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and said.

"Like, what's the point of making fun of me...... The doctors have said that these two legs have been completely destroyed, and it is a blessing to be able to pick up their lives back. ”

Lu Zhou shook his head, looked at Li Gaoliang and said seriously: "I'm not joking, I'm serious." ”

Li Gaoliang was slightly stunned.

Common sense told him that it was impossible.

After all, when he was dragged out from under the rubble, his back was smashed with flesh and blood, and his two calves had basically been smashed, and there was no possibility of rescuing him at all.

And when he and other wounded fighters were transferred to the hospital in Wushi, they received only one answer. Either amputate the leg or watch both legs die, and eventually have to be amputated......

Now that the amputation operation has been completed, Lu Zhou told him that there is a way to get him back on his feet, and Li Gaoliang can't believe that this is true.

In fact, not to mention that he didn't believe it, even the doctor standing next to him didn't believe it at all, shaking his head and asserting.

"Impossible! I've never heard of this kind of technology, if you're talking about prosthetics, it's really no problem to make people stand, and the rehabilitation training is done well, as long as it's not a strenuous exercise like running, and you can even return to the level where you usually walk and walk like a normal person. ”

"But his situation is different, it's not just about amputation, it's not just about his calf, it's about spinal nerve endings! In this situation, he can't even control his urine and urine normally, so what's the use of wearing a prosthesis? At best, it can only be used as an ornament! ”

"You're right," looking at Li Gaoliang, who had a gloomy expression, Lu Zhou nodded, paused for a moment and continued, "I don't know much about medical things, and theoretically if the nerve area is damaged, it is really not easy to deal with. ”

The doctor shook his head and said, "That's why I say, don't make such jokes with patients, this kind of thing that can't be done at all is used to comfort people, it doesn't make any sense." ”

This is not a disease that can be overcome by optimism, and consolation treatment has no meaning other than to plunge the patient into deeper despair.

"I'm not comforting people," Lu Zhou also shook his head, and after a pause, continued, "It's really not possible in theory, but that's only based on current technology. ”

The doctor smiled and asked, "You mean the technology of the future will do?" ”

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "There is no need for the future, in fact, we are conducting relevant research with Harbin Institute of Technology and Aurora University to imitate neural electrical signals by physical methods." ”

"Neural access technology?" The doctor glanced at Lu Zhou stunned, frowned, and said, "This thing...... Are there any successful cases? ”

He had heard of this kind of technology, but even the top foreign laboratories were in the research stage, and judging from the results that had been made public so far, it was not perfect enough to make patients with spinal nerve damage stand up again, and Lu Zhou now threw out this concept, in his opinion, it was no different from comfort treatment.

"No, not to mention successful cases, not even the cases themselves," Lu Zhou shook his head and continued, "This technology has not yet passed the clinical trial stage, and it is only in the laboratory at present. Although some results have been achieved, they are still far from maturity. ”

The doctor seemed to guess what Lu Zhou wanted to say, and looked at him with a strange expression, "What do you mean......"

Lu Zhou nodded, "Yes...... Therefore, whether it will work or not depends on whether Comrade Li Gaoliang is willing or not. ”

Looking at the two people playing dumb riddles there with a confused face, Li Gaoliang, who was lying on the hospital bed, said in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

There was only one thing he wanted to know now, whether he would have a chance to get back on his feet?

Also, can I change this medicine or not?

The doctor hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a tactful tone.

"We're talking about some ...... about treatment"

"Here's the thing," interrupting the doctor's euphemistic words, Lu Zhou said straight to the point, "We are conducting an experiment on a neural access device, and if the situation is optimistic, this technology can help you stand up." But at the same time, because no clinical trials have been conducted, there is a lot of risk involved. Even though we promise to do everything we can to minimise the risks, there is no guarantee that he will succeed. ”

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, Li Gaoliang suddenly laughed.

When he finally had enough laughing, he shook his head after stopping, turned his gaze to Lu Zhou, and said in a joking tone, without joking.

"Don't say what kind of experiment you are doing on me, if you can get me back on my feet, my life will be yours in the future."

Halfway through his words, he seemed to have thought of something, and he quickly answered it again.

"Of course...... The premise is not to betray the country! I don't do anything illegal! ”

Lu Zhou laughed and said, "Do you think I look like someone who will do illegal things?" ”

Li Gaoliang said embarrassedly: "I didn't mean that...... I just ......"

"I understand," Lu Zhou nodded with a smile, signaling that this man who was not good at expressing himself did not need to explain, and paused to continue, "You don't need to give me your life or anything, your life is given by your parents, and the only thing you need to be loyal to before you leave the army is your motherland." Speaking of which, this matter is also considered a work injury, and if you sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, I will not be able to get away with it. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhou looked directly at Li Gaoliang's pupils and continued in a solemn tone.

"So, let me ask you again, are you willing to accept the experiment? And bear all the consequences that may result from it? ”

Without any hesitation, Li Gaoliang nodded.

"I do."

"Very good," Lu Zhou nodded, his expression didn't change much, "I still have to discuss this matter with Director Li of the Bureau of Science and Industry, I will give you a result in about three days, if it doesn't work in the end, I hope you won't be too disappointed." ”

Li Gaoliang glanced at his two bandaged legs and said with a smirk smile.

"Disappointed? What do you think I have to lose? ”

Seeing that Li Gaoliang seemed to be too optimistic, the doctor standing next to him couldn't help but remind: "This kind of experiment is not a joke, especially if you use a knife on the nerves, even if you do a good job of safety, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents." I hope you think about it again, after all, if something happens, you might lose your life. ”

Lu Zhou, who was standing next to him, listened quietly, and did not refute this sentence, which was regarded as acquiescing to the doctor's statement.

At the same time, he was also observing Li Gaoliang's expression.

If there was any hesitation or apprehension on his face, he would consider retracting the offer.

After all, for him, the cost of applying this immature technology to people is also quite expensive.

If you don't get 100% cooperation, the risk of the experiment will increase, so it's better not to do it in the first place.

However, Lu Zhou, who was waiting for Li Gaoliang's expression to change, did not see the slightest waver from his face.

Even, the smile that opened the corners of his mouth was even more free......

Almost without any hesitation, a word popped out of his mouth.

"Then it's dead!"
