Chapter 597: Honor Student
After the meeting, Dean Xia had a private matter to Yang Ping to handle.
One of my classmates has immigrated to Canada, and recently he has always had low back pain, and the family doctor in the clinic always prescribes painkillers, no way, I want to make an appointment with a specialist doctor, and I waited for three months, and finally saw a specialist doctor, and I was very careful to see the doctor, and after reading it, it was recommended to stay in bed, and then a few painkillers.
This classmate wanted to make an appointment with a similar domestic expert number, and the family doctor said that he would write a letter to make an appointment, and it would take a month to get a reply before and after, and then the queue time would be at least half a year.
As soon as this classmate summed up, he simply flew back to China to see a doctor, which was more convenient.
Medical care in Europe and the United States is far less cheap than in China, and this cheapness does not only refer to the cost, but includes many aspects.
For example, in China, if you want to see an expert, you can spend a few hundred yuan at most, register an account, and wait for a while, and then you can see it.
In Europe and the United States, if you want to spend less money, you have to wait slowly, how to slow the method, as long as it is not a life-saving disease, first write a recommendation letter by a private doctor to a specialized hospital, and the specialized hospital receives the letter, and then sort according to the number of people during this time, and then reply to the letter after arranging.
This kind of letter writing is really written with pen and paper, and then the mail is delivered at the post office.
In this way, plus the time in line, it can be as few months as possible and as many as New Year's Eve.
Not to mention, the medical system of our Hong Kong SAR is similar to that of Europe and the United States, within the scope of free medical care, if you want to do a knee MRI, it is normal to wait for two or three years.
If you don't want to wait, you can take the route of private medical treatment, then the consultation fee and examination fee are very expensive.
Patients who are not particularly wealthy and have high-end medical insurance, this is a luxury.
Therefore, many Hong Kong compatriots will run to Pengcheng when they encounter such a thing as doing magnetic resonance, which is cheap and saves time.
It's a matter of driving back and forth, so why wait for two or three years.
Dean Xia met the old classmate at the appointed time, and then led him to see Yang Ping, and met the young professor in the ward of the General Surgery Department.
The old classmate was so excited that he burst into tears, and for nothing else, there was never such a thing as going directly to the ward to see a doctor in Canada.
I wrote a letter to make an appointment, waited for a few months, and finally saw a doctor who was not what I wanted.
After reading it, Yang Ping suggested doing an MRI of the lumbar spine, and this old classmate, under the leadership of Dean Xia, returned to the ward after the MRI, and before the report came out, Yang Ping helped read the film.
The last lumbar intervertebral disc has prolapsed, free in the spinal canal, compressing the nerve root on the left side, conservative treatment is of little significance, it is recommended to be hospitalized for minimally invasive surgery, and you can walk on the ground after a few days.
In fact, without the leadership of Dean Xia, he went to run by himself, although it was not so convenient, but it would definitely be able to be done in a few days.
The old classmate immediately agreed to stay in Sanbo Hospital for surgery, even if it was at his own expense.
After solving the matter of his old classmates, Dean Xia took Yang Ping to the office and chatted for another half an hour.
Shh
Such a good talent, who worked hard to stay here, has just made achievements, and now 301 has to dig into the wall.
No matter what, Dean Xia's tone was not smooth.
——
Haraching Hospital, Munich, Germany.
August has been missing for almost two weeks and now a message has suddenly been sent asking Marcus to conduct a full examination for the little duke.
The entire department, only Marcus knew, August went to China, this was the top secret of the department, and Marcus did not reveal it to anyone.
The young doctor, --- the little duke, from the University of Göttingen, was already a regular visitor to the hospital, and he went to Göttingen Hospital almost every month for a comprehensive medical examination to assess how long the heart at risk could tolerate.
I have to come to Harachin Orthopedic Hospital every six months to evaluate the spine, but it is just an assessment, and no one dares to fight the idea of the spine.
The little duke had not only problems with the spine, but also problems with the heart.
The spinal column problem is the initiating factor, and the expansion and contraction of the heart in a small squeezed space is limited, resulting in the current chronic heart failure over time.
Therefore, in addition to the spiral ridge column being an obstacle to surgery, this and the dangerous heart is also an obstacle to surgery.
No one dared to beat the idea of his spine!
If the spine problem is not solved, the heart problem can never be solved, even if the heart is replaced, so this is an unsolvable problem.
The little duke has accepted his fate, and this highly intelligent scholar already has a clear understanding of life and death.
The sudden notice caught Marcus a little off guard, August's notice was to complete the tests, and Marcus knew that these tests were used to evaluate the surgery, was this going to be an operation?
Could it be that August went out this time to prepare for surgery.
The young Chinese doctor, Marcus, as Master Ao's assistant, of course knew what was going on, and Master Ao's WeChat was also helped by Marcus, as the closest assistant, of course he knew what August was doing, and he would keep it secret for August.
The little duke was sent to Munich by helicopter, and he was curled up in a wheelchair, being pushed, his highly intelligent head hanging down.
Harachin is a specialist orthopaedic hospital, Munich also has a specialist imaging centre that is more suitable for the little duke to do examinations, and Germany has the best medical equipment in the world.
When the world's first X-ray machine appeared, a machine that could see through the human body was enshrined as an artifact.
At that time, it became fashionable for everyone to meet up to go to the hospital to take an X-ray, as if there were no side effects.
Later, the understanding of X-ray ionizing radiation gradually increased, and this trend slowly disappeared.
When Li Hongzhang of the Great Qing Kingdom visited Germany, the then Prime Minister Bismarck learned that Li Hongzhang had a bullet in his body, so he invited him to the Berlin hospital to experience the fluoroscopy artifact, and the warhead in the lower part of his left eye was clearly visible on the X-ray.
Master Li looked at the bullet on the X-film, and was speechless with shock from the perspective artifact.
It is said that Li Hongzhang was the first person in China to make an X-movie.
Originally, magnetic resonance imaging was better at soft tissues such as the heart and lungs, but because the heartbeat and the activity of the lungs during breathing caused a large number of artifacts from MRI, the advantages of magnetic resonance could not be used.
The little duke was pushed into the CT chamber, and although he was used to this state, it didn't mean that he didn't want to change.
He himself knew that his heart was getting worse day by day, and the fourth-level heart function was not as good as that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man.
Sitting in a wheelchair, he often feels that he does not have enough oxygen, and even taking a big breath will not help.
The heart is like squeezing in a crevice of a rock, without any room for maneuver, and the heart muscle is already tired and even partially fibrotic in this sick environment.
The Duke had more than forty children, including twenty-six sons, and he was the Duke's favorite son, but their father-son relationship was not good.
"Mr. August has found a new way to treat you, and he has gone to invite this doctor."
Marcus is also an old acquaintance of the Little Duke.
"Even Auguste can't help it, I've seen all the doctors in Europe and North America, will there be new technology?"
The little duke listened so quietly, and the doctor was always fond of using words of encouragement, often comforting.
"No, this time it's true, Professor August has never been out for so long, almost two weeks before he returns, and his letter says that there have been more than forty successful eucalyptus cases, the new technology is very mature, and he personally tracks every detail of the new technology, impeccable."
Marcus excitedly said that this is what August said in his letter, and he was not exaggerating.
The little duke has been cocooned with this kind of talk since he was a child, and every time he gets new news, he has said this kind of rhetoric, and finally found that the new technology is still in the experimental stage, and it is still far from application, and it is not as magical as claimed.
Something that has not yet seen the light of day, people like to exaggerate its technical content.
However, the little duke still accepted the arrangement of August's team, and Auguste was his doctor from childhood to adulthood, and this trust has been tested by the years.
"The professor said that soon, he will be able to bring the world's top doctor to Germany and straighten your spine."
Marcus kept talking, whether he wanted to hear it or not.
"Where's the doctor?"
The little duke asked casually.
"China!"
Marcus whispered into the little duke's ear.
"Well, you won, I'm in a much better mood now."
The little duke's words when he were all placebos.
The little duke was lifted onto the CT mobile tablet, and he could only curl up, unable to lie up straight at all, and this curled up position was very uncomfortable.
So doing CT is a torturous thing for him.
"Hold on for a while!"
Marcus encouraged him.
The little duke looked like he was at home: "Come on, hurry up, I have to go back to give a lecture." ”
Thin-slice tomography captures countless images, and then various reconstructions are performed, and the three-dimensional cristae and the surrounding adjacent organs slowly appear on the screen.
Various mesangiums and adhesions are also clearly manifested, and some parts of the heart and lungs are already sunken, squeezed by the deformed space composed of the spine, ribs, and sternum.
"Give me a copy!"
Marcus said to the radiologist.
He needed to add Chinese annotations and pass them on to China, and Marcus's Chinese skills were also good, thanks to August's ear to the face.
"Chinese is the future!"
August always intimidated him like this.
As his junior doctor and his student, he must learn Chinese well in order to have a future.
---
The images are transmitted to Sanbo Hospital.
Yang Ping has officially begun to intervene in this case, and the three-dimensional image is displayed on the screen.
The spiral ridge column in three-dimensional space, the level 4 cardiac function, the heart that has been deformed, whether it can tolerate it in the process of orthopedics, especially whether the heart will suddenly stop, and the fourth-level cardiac function is a time bomb at any time.
If it is a traditional surgery, it can only be abandoned.
However, the bone removal orthopedic of the external fixator is a gradual process that maximizes safety and can achieve successful orthopedics.
"The future is bright, the road is tortuous!" August said.
Robert felt that this was not enough for China, and he said: "Another village!" ”
Takahashi asked, "Reconciliation?" ”
"Experience the artistic conception yourself, the artistic conception, you can't move!" Robert felt that Chinese that did not understand the idioms of stories was half-crippled Chinese.
"Before orthopedics, use thoracoscopy and laparoscopy to loosen the organs of the chest and abdomen, you see, these are adhesion bands of scar-like tissue, they do not have a certain degree of ductility, and the suspension phenomenon will be formed in the process of orthopedics, and the pulling effect will lead to the displacement of the organs, forming a hernia, and the heart is prone to arrhythmia under this action, and if it is an aorta or venous structure, there is a risk of tearing." Yang Ping pointed to the heart of the image with a pen and said.
Augustus nodded, he hadn't considered this step yet, because the spine orthopedic level had already stumped him, and he hadn't yet analyzed heart failure as the second level, let alone the later one.
I didn't finish the first grade, I haven't touched the second grade, and the third grade is even more out of reach.
Takahashi and Robert listened and did not speak yet.
In terms of spine, August was the top student of the three.
ps: It's been modified, get off work late today, less more, and more tomorrow.
