At NASA headquarters in Washington, the news was like an atomic bomb explosion.

What was thought to be just an ordinary medical incident is now a potentially fatal emergency, and Director Jim Bassa immediately activated the highest emergency procedures.

Since the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, there have been no fatalities in U.S. spaceflight, and if something happens to Steven, he will not be able to account for it.

On 1 February 2003, Space Shuttle Columbia entered the atmosphere over Texas and Louisiana, ready to complete its 28th mission.

At this time, the accident occurred, and the space shuttle exploded and disintegrated, killing all seven astronauts on board.

In that accident, the wreckage of the Columbia explosion drifted from the outskirts of Dallas to Taylor, and even part of the wreckage fell into Louisiana.

As in the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger accident, the shuttle was grounded for two years.

Although this is a medical incident, it is already difficult for the public to accept the fatality.

The Internet, newspapers, and television are already tracking the news, and everything is exposed under the magnifying glass of public opinion, and no one can face the surging pressure of public opinion, even if the whole United States gathers forces, it must do its best to prevent the accident from happening.

Acutely aware of the seriousness of the situation, Director Jimbasa immediately flew from Washington to Houston with the chief medical officer and a group of officials to personally direct the medical emergency, and carried a laptop with him throughout the whole process to communicate with him via video connection.

Dozens of top medical experts from the United States gathered in Houston, and the professional work was left to the professional people, and Jim Bassa's role was only to coordinate in the middle and mobilize all resources to deal with this emergency.

Jim Bassa is glad that he made a decisive decision to let the Falcon 9 launch ahead of schedule, otherwise it would have to wait for more than ten days, and it is likely that Steven would have had an accident before he even figured out the diagnosis.

What went wrong in that link was to be done afterwards, and what needs to be done now is how to get Steven to return to Earth safely.

The director and his entourage got off the plane and hurried to the Houston ground control center, Collins handed over a cup of instant coffee, Jim Bassa didn't have the heart to drink it, and couldn't wait to ask: "What should we do?" ”

Now only the doctors present can give him an answer, the doctors present, in addition to aerospace medicine experts, are the most elite medical talents in the United States, especially Johannathan, Eugene, Massimo, surgery, internal medicine and intervention, for this neurosurgical disease, it is simply the world's golden triangle.

Intracranial aneurysm, in which blood vessels burst at any time, passes through the life center of the brainstem, and if it is not treated, it will surely die, and there will be no second outcome. Massimo introduced to Jimbasa.

The results of GG's simulations have been reported, and the computer has conducted 10,000 simultaneous simulations, and on the way back, 100% of them died due to the bursting of blood vessels.

Jim Bassa took out a tissue and wiped his sweat, he just wanted to ask, "Can you risk returning to Earth?" ”

"Can only be treated in situ on the space station?" Jim Bassa asked.

"That's right, it can only be interventional, and there are interventional equipment in the medical kit we sent this time, but this artery is a small innominate artery, which passes through the nerve nucleus, and the smallest instrument in our medical kit can't complete the interventional operation." Massimo denied the question of Jim Barca.

Can't go back, and there's no way to treat it? Can you only wait for death on it?

Jim Bassa doesn't understand, these doctors are studying and studying, is there still no way?

They asked for a rocket to be sent in advance, to send Susan and the equipment, and as soon as he slapped the door of the head, he immediately signed, and the rockets were already in the sky.

"The problem now is that my lab has thinner catheter guidewires and coils, and even if they were sent in, no one would be able to complete the surgery. Even if I am sent up, I will not be able to complete the operation on the space station, the guidewire will have to cross countless tortuous blood vessels in the skull, and the slightest mistake will puncture the blood vessels and lead to death, on the earth, I am still 20% sure, in the microgravity environment of the space station, a person who has not undergone strict training, can not even complete simple movements, let alone such a delicate operation. "Massimo had never said such unconfident words in his life.

Jim Bassa couldn't read the whole cerebrovascular DSA image.

"What are your opinions? Can telehealth devices help?" Jim Bassa asked Chief Engineer, scientist Richard Franklin.

Richard is not optimistic: "Telehealth devices have poor haptic feedback and uncertain time delays, and according to Dr. Massimo, the success rate should be less than 20 percent." ”

Richard's understanding is very good, he is not a medical student, but he quickly grasps the problem.

"It is impossible to send doctors to heaven, there is no time, and the greatest hope should be to use telemedicine equipment to complete this rescue." Dr. Richard is a clear thinker.

"Massimo, I've trained this remote device, and Intuition has developed it in collaboration with NASA, and even with the best experience in manipulating surgical robots, it can't surpass your current success rate." Johanneson didn't feel much help.

Massimo is also aware of the flaws of this set of equipment: "The uncertain time delay, the lack of haptic feedback, which is the fatal heel and infinitely reduces the success rate of the operation." ”

"Perhaps, there is someone who can do it?" Johanneson suddenly remembered.

"Who?" Jimbassa stood up and leaned forward.

Having just been stunned by the doctors, and having been in a state of frustration, someone now suggests that someone can do it, and there is a glimmer of light in the darkness.

Johanneson paused: "A Chinese doctor, if someone in this world can do it, I can only think of him, I have seen him complete a brainstem tumor removal, this kind of surgery in our hands has a success rate of less than 5%, he can do 80%. ”

"Chinese?"

Jimbasa is a little hesitant, this matter will definitely be exposed to the public eye throughout the whole process, and it will be embarrassing for the Chinese to resolve it in the end.

However, the pragmatist's Jim Bassa cares so much, and it will be even more embarrassing if there is a problem with people.

"Professor Johannathan, you are responsible for your words and deeds, Johns Hopkins has the most advanced interventional medicine in the world, they can surpass us, China's top interventional experts, many of them are trained by us." Massimo told Johanneson in all seriousness.

"I'm responsible for what I said, Miss Secretary, and I ask you to take the necessary notes, but I'm not sure if he's proficient in intervention, but I'm sure there's no one in this world who knows more about this disease than he does, and maybe he has a way."

"There was a case that I was invited to a consultation and we always thought that the success rate of the operation would not exceed five percent until I met this young man, and his calmness and calmness made me unforgettable for the rest of my life, and he told me that the success rate of this case could reach 80 percent."

"Do you know him? I watched the whole operation, he used a 0.1 mm laser scalpel, in the middle of the nerve mass that controls the heartbeat and breathing, completely removed the tumor, there were four cardiac arrests during the operation, one of which was 21 electrical defibrillations, and the last time was to fight with death during the asystolea to do the operation, and then rescue after the operation, which he expected before the operation. ”

"After watching the whole operation, as a visitor, I almost collapsed, he is the god of surgery in my heart, Massimo, to put it bluntly, if he is proficient in intervention, you will be overshadowed." Johanneson is serious and not at all like nonsense.

Massimo shook his head: "Johannathan, you are a serious neurosurgeon, what are you talking about. I don't understand. There are such people in this world, I don't know?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I didn't expect you to understand, I just want to say, please come! This is the greatest hope, Steven is waiting in the sky now, maybe in the next second, the blood vessels will explode---" Johanneson understood that at this point, he was powerless to explain to the others.

"If you want Steven to live, invite him to Houston immediately, if he can't help it, it means that God has given up on Steven." Johannathan's tone was firm.

"I'm going through this with Professor Griffin at MD Anderson Cancer Center and Professor Woodhead at Twin Cities Spine Center, so you can invite them right away. Trust me, even if he won't intervene in the surgery, he will guide you on how to deal with this emergency, me! Johannathan! Ask in the name of God and invite him to come. Johanneson stood up and said excitedly.

"All of you here are the top doctors in the United States, and you invited a Chinese to handle the national emergency for us? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Captain America saved the whole United States, and the moment he finally turned around, it was actually a Chinese. "Massimo is a conservative American.

"Questions? I think it's good, Dr. Massimo, do you have a better way? Twenty percent success, diluted by a distance of 400 kilometers, how much more?" Johannesen was powerless to argue at this point and could only defeat them in a sharp way.

Massimo was speechless for a moment, he had never been so humiliated, but he was a man who respected the facts.

"Are you sure this person can?" Massimo compromised, and Johanneson was no man of his word.

"I'm not sure, but if he can't do it, I guess there's no way, at least that's what I see." Johanneson replied.

"Contact him right away!" Jimbasa doesn't care who he is, as long as he can solve the problem at hand.

"I'll try, he's in New York during this time, and I'm not sure if he's leaving." Johanneson pulls out his phone.

Ten minutes later: "He was already on the plane, and the plane had been taking off for five hours." ”

Jim Bassa bowed his head: "Are you sure he's the best hope?"

"In God's name!" Johanneson reiterated.

Hope in despair, to be seized no matter what, Jimbasa makes the most important decision.
