Chapter 0145: A Little Hope

On Monday, Luo Xiaohu was discharged from the hospital, the family was happy, and Luo's father was still humming a song.

At half past eight in the morning, Hermès finally did the surgery that she had been waiting for months.

There are no highlights in this operation, conventional surgery, for Yang Ping, has a strong trauma orthopedic foundation, this kind of surgery has no difficulty, but the treatment time is long, and the concept of system engineering must be required for the entire treatment.

Before anesthesia, Professor Zhang went into the operating room to greet Hermes and reassured him, which made Hermes feel at ease.

Before that, he didn't see Professor Zhang, he refused to take anesthesia, leaving the fat man at a loss, until he saw Professor Zhang appear, he was relieved to accept anesthesia.

The surgery went very smoothly and the whole process took less than half an hour.

Keep about 5 centimeters of healthy bone tissue at the proximal and distal ends of the right tibia, and remove all the infected bone tissue in the middle and a part of healthy bone tissue at both ends at 30 centimeters.

The defect is temporarily filled with calcium sulfate containing vancomycin, and the proximal and distal five centimeters are cut off from it, and the stretch is pulled from the fracture site, and after two weeks, it begins to be stretched, one millimeter a day, from both ends to the middle, and the bone is slowly lengthened, and finally the middle is closed, and a full length of tibia is restored.

The bone tissue that grows is healthy, there is no bacterial infection, just like a tree is eroded by termites, it is very difficult for you to completely remove termites, if the parts that will be eroded by termites are sawed off along with the normal wood around, so that the termite problem is completely solved.

Chronic osteomyelitis, infection of bone tissue, is more difficult than termites to erode trees, bacteria are scattered and hiding in bone tissue, and it is difficult for antibiotics to reach, so it cannot be removed at all. When a part of the bacteria is removed, the symptoms are slightly better, and when the remaining part of the bacteria divides and multiplies, forming a certain scale, the symptoms of infection come out again, so it is repeated and difficult to heal.

Thanks to Irizarov, his miraculous technique has not only allowed countless people to save limbs, but also made deformities that were previously difficult to correct easy.

The edifice of medicine was built brick by brick by a pioneer like Irizarov, and it is unknown how much bitterness, how much blood and tears, and how many grievances there were.

He did not win the Nobel Prize because of the politics of the Cold War, but the brilliance of this country doctor no longer needs an award to prove it.

Geniuses, pioneers are always misunderstood and lonely.

Semmelweis, who revealed the puerperal infection, was ridiculed and opposed by the world at the time, and finally died in a lonely and desolate psychiatric hospital.

One of the four cornerstones of modern surgery, disinfection, has the great contribution of Semmelweis, it can be said that he single-handedly endured the exclusion and suppression of the entire medical profession, and tragically opened an era.

After the operation, Hermès's right calf, like a mechanical limb, was filled with steel needles and equipped with circular rings, which formed a scaffold responsible for bone lengthening.

Back in the ward, Hermes was very excited, as if his heart disease for many years had been solved, and he kept holding Yang Ping's hand: "Thank you!" Thank you! Thank you! ”

Then I asked Professor Zhang, and Yang Ping told him that Professor Zhang was in the outpatient clinic on the first floor, and he was very busy, so he took time out of his busy schedule to go to the operating room to guide the operation.

Hermes clenched his fists: "Great kindness, beyond words!" ”

This week, Professor Zhang started to visit the outpatient clinic on the first floor of the General Orthopaedic Department, and in just one morning, he received six patients, three to the Comprehensive Orthopaedic Department, and three to the Huaqiao Building.

Received a patient from the Department of Comprehensive Orthopedics, a Chinese from Southeast Asia, who had avascular necrosis of the femoral head, late stage 3, did not want to change the artificial joint, and wanted to do hip-preserving treatment, so he approached Professor Zhang; a retired athlete with an old anterior cruciate ligament rupture; A little girl, nine years old, has osteosarcoma.

Originally, Professor Zhang only needed one morning a week to go out of the clinic, but now he applies to the hospital to go out five mornings a week, from Monday to Friday, so that Director Han and Director Tian are completely liberated, especially Director Tian, who can specialize in dealing with the patients that Professor Zhang receives VIP.

Yang Ping took everyone on ward rounds to see the newly admitted patients.

The child with osteosarcoma, female, 9 years old, has been hospitalized in many hospitals, respectively in the Imperial Union Medical College Hospital and Nandu Affiliated Cancer Hospital, has undergone two surgeries, the pathological examination of both surgeries is osteosarcoma, has been advanced, PET-CT whole body scan shows the metastasis of multiple organs throughout the body. The child is very sensible, has a good academic performance, and has won the first prize in the National New Concept Essay Competition.

Before the ward round, Xiao Wu said to Yang Ping in the office: "The child didn't know that she had a malignant tumor, and her family asked to keep her condition secret, and her parents only told her that she had several fibroids on her body, and it would take a long time to get better, so be patient." Also, she has no money at home, the house has been sold, valuable things have been sold, online fundraising has also been raised, relatives and friends have borrowed it, and now they can't borrow money, relatives and friends don't answer the phone now, but her parents don't want to give up, knowing that there is no result, they still don't want to give up, and they find Professor Zhang, clearly stating that they are exhausted, and want to find a cheap way to let the child live longer. ”

"Old man Zhang specializes in this kind of thing, last time the worker asked you to solve it for 3,000 yuan, where can you solve it for 3,000 yuan, and in the end he didn't say hello to the operating room, and he didn't need to do it after some money. It's always hard for a strong man, he's a bodhisattva, I'm not, I'm a small people, I want to eat and drink, in order to buy a house, I don't dare to eat takeout, I order it once in a while, I only dare to order ten yuan, fuck, the meat slices in it are less than the minced meat in instant noodles. Zhang Lin was very dissatisfied.

"Zhang Lin, don't be so marketable, what do you mean by saying this." Xiao Wu saw that Zhang Lin was really angry, and immediately held him down.

Zhang Lin retorted unceremoniously: "He doesn't know, it's not an emergency rescue, the doctor owes money and has to be deducted, this patient is accepted, and then there will be a bunch of accounts, I am the market, what's wrong?" You go to the supermarket, for a penny less, people will let you take things and go? The patient in the spine surgery department, who lived for free for half a year, did not see a family member come, and the family members made trouble as soon as they came, and they were making money, and now they are still making trouble, doing charity? Let Jack Ma and those people do it, I'm not qualified. ”

"Zhang Lin!" Xiao Wu stopped him.

Yang Ping waved his hand: "Let him whine, it's okay!" ”

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I just felt it." Zhang Lin blushed, complained, and became angry.

Yang Ping comforted him: "Don't worry, if you are really in arrears at that time, I will find a way, and I will definitely not make everyone feel cold." ”

"I'm not saying that I will lose my temper if I deduct my money, it's not right to deduct anyone's money, whose money is not a few hard-earned money, why does the hospital set this rule, not the emergency rescue fee should be deducted from the doctor, Dean Xia is so open-minded, he will not cancel this rule, if there is no such line, you can owe money casually, the hospital will close sooner or later, and everyone will drink the northwest wind." Zhang Lin became excited, and his body language was very rich.

Xiao Wu patted him on the back and helped him smooth out this breath.

Yang Ping took a breath in his heart and nodded: "I understand, don't mention the cost every time you make a ward round, don't mention the word tumor, let's unify the caliber, let's do the ward rounds!" ”

When I went to see the little girl in the ward, she was wearing two pigtails, there was no trace of sorrow on her immature face, and she was always smiling innocently, and she was typing on the computer.

"Little sister, are you studying?" Yang Ping teased her.

She looked up, flicked her pigtails and said, "I'm learning to write essays in English." ”

"That's amazing!" Yang Ping deliberately probed to look, and the little girl blocked it with her hand.

I don't know what it is on the computer.,It doesn't seem to be English.,It's not Chinese pinyin.,Maybe it's a random type.。

"Wow, you can write in English." Xiao Wu said in deliberate surprise.

Her father answered: "She has good English, and we don't know English, she learned it all at school." ”

Yang Ping neither asked about her medical history nor did he have a physical examination, but just chatted with her.

When she came out of the ward, her father followed, and Yang Ping gestured and pointed to the office: "Go to the office and wait for me for a while." ”

Yang Ping continued to make rounds, and the Southeast Asian patient was from Singapore, Chinese, with avascular necrosis of the left femoral head, and it was already late in the third stage, and he needed to replace the artificial hip joint. Because his relatives in Malaysia visited relatives in China, they saw Professor Zhang's outpatient clinic and felt very good, and recommended him to go to China to find Professor Zhang for hip preservation treatment.

His Chinese is very good, very fluent, he said that he has been bilingual since he was a child, both English and Chinese, Chinese is the same simplified characters as China, so whether it is Chinese conversation or reading, there is no problem at all.

Retired athlete, is a basketball player, after retiring from the usual basketball training for primary and secondary school students for a career, I don't know what anterior cruciate ligament is broken, the left knee joint walking in the past year is obviously unstable, shaky, to the hospital for MRI, suggesting anterior cruciate ligament rupture, he heard that Professor Zhang of Sanbo is very serious and responsible, and he came here.

After checking the room and returning to the office, the little girl's father sat and waited, and when he saw Yang Ping coming back, he stood up and said: "Trouble you, we can't help it, we have trouble for you, our situation has been told to Professor Zhang and Dr. Lu, really, really unwilling to --, money, I am thinking of a way." The child's father had moist eyes and a haggard expression.

Yang Ping comforted him: "You have done your best, you can do your best in many things, not every goal can be achieved, everyone is like this, there are goals that cannot be achieved, there are heart-wrenching regrets, this is life!" ”

This is said as if he has insight into life, which is a little inconsistent with his age, and maybe it's because he has been in the system for too long.

When he got off work, Professor Zhang came over, found Yang Ping, and said earnestly: "This patient's home has been emptied, there is really no money, the child is very sensible, I want to give her a little hope, I will solve the cost, it will not affect you." ”

Just a few simple explanations, Professor Zhang walked with his hands behind his back, he was old and walked a little staggering.

His figure was in the hallway, step by step.
