Xia Shu's father was transferred to the Institute of Surgery, and the head nurse deliberately left the only suite ward to Xia Shu's father, and she secretly paid out of her own pocket and asked the doctor to list the bed fee separately and come to the outpatient clinic to pay the bill, not the total cost of hospitalization.

Malignant tumors pay attention to three early treatment, early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, Xia Shu's father's stomach cancer is currently early, has not spread, and the effect of surgery is very good.

In this way, Xia Shu felt a little better, but he was still very sad in his heart, he read by himself, he was the pride of his parents back then, he was admitted to Xiehe, and he stayed in the imperial capital to work after graduation, but now he has neither money nor wife, which makes his parents worried.

"I'll show the film to Professor Yang." Xia Shu's mood stabilized.

Nurse Cai said: "I have already shown it to the professor, and the professor said that in the early stage, the effect of the operation is very good, you don't have to worry, and it is minimally invasive, and it is done laparoscopically." ”

The capable head nurse has arranged everything well, Xia Shu is very grateful to her, at this time he is really a little messy in his heart, very uncomfortable, and he is not familiar with the hospital, so it is not good to do things, but fortunately, there is the help of the head nurse.

When Yang Ping is free, he will tell everyone about the cases encountered in the Municipal People's Hospital, because it has a strong warning effect.

The case of fish bones let everyone know that daily work requires a rigorous attitude, and some details must not be ignored, especially when they are usually safe and sound, they feel that some rules and regulations are useless and do not abide by them.

The case of the balloon man is actually similar to tension pneumothorax, the formation of tension pneumothorax is that the whole chest including the skin has been penetrated, the chest cavity is the same as the outside world, and a flap is formed at the wound of communication, when inhaling, the flap opens, and the gas from the outside enters the chest cavity, and when exhaling, the flap is closed, and the gas that has just been inhaled into the chest cavity cannot be discharged, so that the gas can only enter and exit, and accumulate more and more in the chest cavity, and finally seriously affect the breathing and die.

Tension pneumothorax is an absolute emergency, and a thick needle is often inserted into the chest cavity for deflating during on-site first aid, and thoracostomy drainage is performed immediately if possible.

The "balloon man" encountered in the Municipal People's Hospital is a kind of subcutaneous emphysema caused by chest trauma, the mechanism is similar to that of tension pneumothorax, but the process is different, the formation of this subcutaneous emphysema is the wound of the chest wall from the inside to the outside just to the subcutaneous stop, the skin is not broken, the chest cavity is not connected with the outside world, but with the potential space under the skin. At the same time, the lungs are also broken, and the air inside the lungs will leak out.

There is also a flap in the chest wall wound, this flap is open when exhaling, the air leaked from the lungs during exhalation enters the subcutaneous through the open flap wound, when inhaling, the flap is closed, and the gas that has just entered the subcutaneous cavity cannot be inhaled into the chest cavity, so that the gas under the skin accumulates more and more, and finally spreads to the surroundings, and the skin is constantly stretched out in the process of diffusion, because the skin of the whole body of the human body is continuous as a whole, and severe patients can bulge the skin of the whole person, and the whole person is like a balloon.

Because there is a breach in the lungs, some of the leaked air collects in the chest cavity, and also forms a pneumothorax, the main danger of pneumothorax is to lose negative pressure in the chest cavity, and the accumulated gas compresses the lungs, causing the lungs to be unable to expand, and finally unable to breathe and die.

There are more and more patients at the Institute of Surgery, and they are all surgeries that cannot be done or are afraid to be done elsewhere because there are so many patients that the scheduled surgeries have been waiting in line for a year later.

With so many patients, and all of them are high-risk patients, if there is no strict work system and rigorous work attitude, it is easy to have medical malpractice.

Therefore, it cannot be overemphasized that medical safety is overemphasized.

---

The United States at this time.

For the unbelievable decision of the elders, Li Gaoyang was very dissatisfied, not only Li Gaoyang was dissatisfied, but the entire company's young Zhuang faction was dissatisfied.

Perhaps these old men were old and had lost their fighting spirit, so Li Gaoyang held a secret meeting with the Shaozhuang faction, and then wrote an application, which everyone signed, hoping to use this application to persuade the elders to cut through the mess quickly.

Recently, the company's affairs have been too busy, and with so many companies under the BG Group, Gao Yang has been working at a very fast pace, and now there are such unprecedented challenges, and as the helmsman of the family table, he is under enough pressure.

After handing over the application to the senators, Rigoyan hurried to Rochester, Minnesota, on a private jet.

The annual physical examination that had just been completed was over, and Mayo's team of doctors called to schedule Gao Yang to Rochester for an interview.

This is just the routine work of the team of doctors, as the leader of BG, according to the habit of previous years, he does not need to run so much, after the medical examination, the team of doctors will come to his office in New York, communicate with him face-to-face, tell him his current health status, and then give some medical advice.

But this time it was different, and Mayo wanted Rigoyan to move to Rochester in person, so that the team could communicate with each other.

In the spacious office, Rigoyan met with a team of doctors who explained and advised on the results of each organ involved in the examination, and finally remained with neurosurgeon Dr. Johannesen, who is also an old friend and sees him every year.

The results of a routine physical examination at Mayo have come in, and an MRI of the head has found a lump, and the location is very bad.

Sitting across from him now is John Nathan, the chief of neurosurgery at Mayo and one of the nation's top neurosurgeons.

The black-and-white MRI image on the electronic screen was as terrifying as the devil in Rigaoyang's eyes, and he didn't dare to look at it directly, his head was just buzzing at this time.

His wife was waiting for him outside, not knowing exactly what had happened during the medical examination.

"Dr. Johannathan, I'm ready, you name it."

Johanneson held an electronic pen in his hand, he thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Rigorian, I am sorry, I am a doctor, I must be objective, if you have any adverse reactions in the process of introducing my condition, you can immediately signal me to stop, even if it is a gesture." ”

"Thank you! You say, I can handle it. Sato's resolute expression.

"Sir, inside your skull, which is right here, we found a tumor, currently estimated to be about 0.1X0.2X0.1 cm." Johanneson spoke slowly, trying to make Ragoyan hear.

Li Gaoyan tried to look as relaxed as he could and said, "It's just a big sesame seed, and you need to cut it off with a craniotomy?" It's okay, arrange surgery as soon as possible, I'll get the work done. ”

He is not an ordinary person, but the head of the BG consortium, a super-rich man, a pivotal figure in the United States, and it is impossible to be frightened by a small tumor.

Johanneson was not in a hurry: "Sir, if it is just an ordinary tumor, we don't need to go to such great lengths to make you sit here and chat in your busy schedule, this tumor is not in other places, but in the medulla oblongata, and in the nerve cell mass of the medulla, this part is very special, it used to be a forbidden area for our neurosurgery, with the development of medicine, now it can be operated on, but it is only in some clear so-called relatively safe areas that can be operated, This area is actually still a very dangerous area for us. ”

"Is it dangerous? How dangerous is it? ”

Li Gaoyang's heart had already begun to beat the drums, but the ease just now could barely be maintained.

"At present, we cannot determine the nature of the tumor, but from the imaging manifestations, the brainstem diffuse endogenous bulbar glioma is the most dangerous and terrifying brainstem tumor, there was no sign in the last physical examination, and now it has grown so big, which means that the growth rate is quite fast, if you don't have surgery, your breathing and heartbeat will stop, and if you do surgery, you may stop on the operating table."

Johanneson finally cracked down on the severity of this brainstem tumor.

"Are there other approaches, such as cell therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy?" Rigaoyan was a little anxious.

At least at BG, whether it is a product on the market or a laboratory, there is no treatment for this, and I don't know if Johannesen knows any other methods, after all, Johanneson is the best neurosurgeon.

Johanneson shook his head: "No, either no treatment or surgery, even the most advanced ion knife can do nothing, and the ion knife will inevitably produce path damage in the process of penetrating the brain stem." ”

"Is surgery possible?"

"Because it is deep inside the nerve nucleus, the success rate of surgery for this tumor in the world is extremely low, and there are very few doctors who can do it, and the success rate of my current animal experiments is less than 5%."

This success rate is tantamount to suicide, or animal experiments, and Li Gaoyang's heart is cold.

"There is only one doctor in the world who can perform this kind of surgery, and the success rate is 80 percent, and almost all the successful cases so far come from him, who is my mentor." Johanneson said step by step.

Rigaoyang's eyes were full of despair, and then there was a hint of anger: "Dr. Johannathan, your humor is a bit overdone, Dr. Mester died three years ago, is it funny for you to joke with me like this?" ”

Johanneson shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm serious, no joke at all, this moment is very serious, and I have more than one mentor, Mester is my specialist training teacher, and this doctor is my current mentor." ”

"Then hurry up and arrange the operation for me, which hospital is your respected teacher in?" Johns Hopkins? Or Massachusetts General Hospital? "Anyway, Mayo definitely doesn't have this person.

"My mentor is in China, he won't come to the U.S. now, and we've asked him to do surgery a few times, but he refused, and he had to send the patient to China," Johanneson said. ”

"China?"

Li Gaoyang was very surprised, everything during this period had anything to do with China.

"Yes, he is Professor Yang Ping of Sanbo Hospital, the only person who can save you, so you can only go to China for surgery."

Johanneson said word for word.

"Yang Ping of Sanbo Hospital!"

Rigaoyan is a bit of a spin, is it such a coincidence? How could it be him?

"Does Mr. Rigoyan know this Chinese doctor?"

Johanneson saw that when Li Gaoyang heard Yang Ping's name, his face immediately changed, and it was extremely unsightly.

Li Gaoyang finally didn't stabilize his emotions, and shook his head in a panic: "No, I don't know, I just have a hard time understanding, why is the best doctor to treat this disease in China?" ”

"It's not surprising, that's the truth, he's the only doctor who can treat this disease, the only one that no other doctor dares to do here to keep you alive." Johannathan's expression is clear.

Rigaoyan said weakly, "What should I do now? ”

"Go to China to find him!"

"Can you help with that?"

"No, you can only contact yourself, because not long ago, Professor Yang's hospital has canceled the business partnership with all our American hospitals, and there was an insurance company that cooperated with him and could go to China for treatment through the insurance company, but I heard that this insurance company withdrew from the American market for some reason not long ago, so you can only try your luck in China as a private person." There was nothing Johanneson could do either.

"What do you mean by trying your luck?"

Li Gaoyang didn't understand, and he still needed to try his luck when he saw a doctor.

Johanneson smiled bitterly: "I can only describe it like this, because I went to China through private channels, I don't know if I can make an appointment for him to see you for surgery, after all, he has a huge number of patients, even if you can make an appointment, I don't know if you can wait so long." ”

"May you think again, Dr. Johannathan, is he the only one?"

Rigoyan has never been so passive, so helpless.

Johanneson thought for a moment: "There is a German doctor who has also made great achievements in this area, and he is in the top position in the world, except for Professor Yang, I am afraid he can be ranked second, and there is also an Australian doctor who ranks third." ”

"Great, let's invite German students."

Rigoyan finally saw hope.

"But I have to tell you clearly that the success rate of this German doctor is about 8 percent, and the limited success cases are either very low IQ after surgery, or need to be on a ventilator to maintain life, in short, unable to take care of himself after surgery." Johanneson said truthfully.

The second is only eight percent, and the third is needless to say.

"Actually, eight percent is already a very high level, do you want to invite this German doctor?"

Johanneson asked very seriously.

"No, no, no!"

Li Gaoyang didn't want to become mentally low, or lie in bed on a ventilator to maintain his breathing, and there was an 8% probability of fighting, which was too exaggerated.

But sitting in front of him was none other than Mayo Chief of Neurosurgery, the best neurosurgeon in the United States, John Nathan, whose words could not be mistaken.

"Just try your luck in China?"

"That's the only way! If before, you could have asked him to come for surgery, or through our hospital, I would have made an appointment for you, but now he has cut off all contact with us. ”

"Did you make a reservation without permission?"

"Yes! ---- last month I referred a patient to come over and I looked at the time of his appointment. ”

Johanneson flipped through his notebook: "I have an appointment for August next year. ”

"It's a pity that he has too many patients, just our patients in the United States are a lot of patients, everyone is a fatal disease, there has to be a sequence, I can only make an appointment like this, this patient died last week, I didn't have time to wait for surgery."

Li Gaoyan wanted to cry at this time.

By the time you reach their age, you'll understand why!

This was when he was dissatisfied with the senators, what Rolf said, there was no need to wait until he was old, for now, he understood the decisions of the senators.

In front of life, it seems that everything is a floating cloud.

"Hurry up and go to China, there is not much time left for you, I don't know if my personal connections can help you, but I will do my best."

"Thanks, you do your best, it's better to be able to help."

"Excuse me, can I make a call?" Rigaoyang's whole body trembled.

"No problem, you can go to the room over there and fight, or I'll leave for a while." Johanneson needs to respect his privacy.

Li Gaoyan couldn't care so much, and dialed the secretary's phone with a trembling hand: "Urgently withdraw our application, urgently withdraw it!! ”

Elders, I am willing to be a kind person with you.

The first is the latest.
