godfather of surgery

Chapter 1073 I can’t tell, that’s okay!

Since Director Luo invited him to consult, Yang Ping had some time now and was not in a hurry to go back, so Yang Ping followed Director Luo to see what patient was being consulted and whether he could help.

Professor Su, Director Yuan and several other directors were also transferred. Other doctors and nurses, especially the young doctoral and master's students, saw Yang Ping being invited to another ward by Director Luo, and they immediately followed.

Although Yang Ping would come to Nandu First Affiliated Hospital for consultation or lectures, it was only once or twice a month. Now, because of Professor Chang's treatment, Yang Ping comes here every day, which is a great learning opportunity for these graduate students. Their enthusiasm for learning is still very high, and they can't wait to follow Yang Ping so that they can learn something new that is not in the books. Even if there is nothing new, listening to Professor Yang's words can broaden everyone's thinking.

For example, Professor Yang's new ideas and methods for treating rabies are not usually seen in books. This is the latest and most cutting-edge technology in the world. Before this, they had no idea of ​​hibernation therapy to treat rabies.

Director Luo brought Yang Ping and everyone to another ward, where an old man was lying, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. He was in a deep coma, with various tubes and wires connected to his body. The distribution of the tubes and wires was extremely dense, so dense that wire ties were needed to restrain the wires and tubes into bundles for easy identification and management.

The space in this ward is actually quite spacious, but because the patient uses too many auxiliary machines, it is estimated that all the equipment that can be used has been used. Numerous machines are crowded in the ward, occupying most of the space and making the ward look very narrow.

Because the space was too small, only a few heavyweights such as Director Luo, Yang Ping, and Professor Su could stand inside. These people had to stand close to each other, and the rest of the people could only squeeze at the door.

Yang Ping has seen all kinds of patients, but he has never seen a patient like this. I'm afraid this patient is completely dependent on machines to survive, and pulling out any tube can bring his life to an abrupt end.

"Patient, male, 82 years old..."

Director Luo reported the medical records to Yang Ping in person. A doctoral student beside him secretly handed him a medical record folder. Yang Ping glanced at the medical record and thought it was probably the thickest medical record he had ever seen in his medical career. It was very thick. The thickness of the paper medical record sandwiched in the middle had reached the limit of this medical record folder, estimated to be at least several hundred pages, causing the two-page shell of the plastic medical record folder to be exaggeratedly opened.

Director Luo declined the clever doctor's offer and waved his hand: "No need to look at the medical records. This patient has lived with us for three years. I can recite his medical condition by heart."

When Director Luo saw Yang Ping staring at the medical record, he immediately understood that he might be surprised by the exaggerated thickness of the medical record. Director Luo explained: "In fact, if the medical records are stacked up, they are probably taller than a person. What you see is the reorganized medical records, which is only a part of it."

"Put it on the medical record cart." Director Luo instructed the doctor who was delivering the medical records to continue reporting on the medical records.

It was indeed as he said, he did not need the subordinate doctors to report the medical records, nor did he need to open the medical record folder, he could just tell the story. Indeed, he had memorized the medical records.

Yang Ping listened carefully to his medical history report and frowned. If he continued to report like this, it would take several hours to complete the medical history report. Director Luo immediately realized this problem and said, "I will report the medical history briefly."

Even though he was brief and concise, and had highly condensed the medical records, Director Luo still took a full fifteen minutes to finish his report. Yang Ping sorted out the patient's condition and roughly understood what was going on with the patient. He thought to himself: Director Luo, you really treat me like a god. A patient who is almost brain dead has been in the ICU for three years and now completely relies on machines to maintain organ function. As long as any machine is removed, the patient's heart will stop beating immediately. This kind of patient has no clinical significance. Now he is looking for me for a consultation. What is the purpose and significance of the consultation? As an ICU director, it is impossible for him not to know that this is a waste of time. But Yang Ping still listened to Director Luo very patiently.

"Professor Yang, this patient is over 80 years old and close to brain death, but his family members refuse to give up. Can you help see if there is still hope for this patient? We have suggested to the family members many times to give up, but they refused every time and scolded us. We are very short of beds here, and one bed can save many lives every year. This patient has been in our ICU for more than three years now, and we have to invest a lot of medical resources every day to maintain him. It would be great if there is hope that he can be cured and discharged." Director Luo sighed.

What was going on? A patient close to brain death asked Professor Yang for a consultation? Wasn't this a waste of Professor Yang's time? The graduate students gathered at the door listened carefully to the conversation inside, fearing that they would miss any important words.

Professor Su was also listening carefully to Director Luo's medical report, but the more he listened, the more something seemed wrong. Director Luo omitted the patient's name when reporting the medical record, but the patient's condition sounded so familiar, so he waved his hand and said, "Let me see the medical record."

The doctoral student behind him handed the medical record over with both hands respectfully, but found that the record was too heavy, so he and another student simply held it with both hands for Professor Su to look through.

Professor Su glanced over the name in the medical record and immediately understood. This was a patient with public medical insurance. He had attended dozens of consultations in the hospital and outside the hospital, and he personally participated in several of them. No wonder the name sounded so familiar.

A patient who is close to brain death and relies on machines to maintain the vitality of his organs, why did he ask Yang Ping for consultation? What is this Director Luo doing? He is not asking Yang Ping for consultation, but asking me for consultation. Who is Professor Su? He immediately understood what was going on.

Director Luo wanted to take this precious opportunity to complain to Professor Su. Although this patient has public medical care and is not short of money, he has been living here for more than three years, which consumes a lot of medical resources. The ICU beds and equipment are already in short supply. This patient has to occupy several of these life-saving machines alone, and they need to be occupied all the time. These machines are all life-saving machines, and if they are used here, other places will be in short supply.

But this kind of thing is not easy for Professor Su. As a dean, he not only needs to have strong academic ability, but also be good at management. More importantly, he needs to be able to handle various relationships and be able to dance with all kinds of sleeves. Professor Su is such a person. It can be said that he is a compound talent.

"Old Luo, let me help you consult this patient. Professor Yang is very busy, so please don't bother him." Professor Su now knew what he was up to. He was just complaining. With the development of the ICU, Director Luo was short of staff and equipment. He hoped that the dean could step in, assign a few people, and purchase some new equipment.

"Thank you, President Su." Director Luo smiled immediately. President Su always kept his word. If he asked for help with the consultation, things would be much easier. The new equipment he wanted and the several doctors he wanted would be in place soon.

As for this patient, to be honest, he knew in his heart that there was no way Professor Su would intervene forcibly. The world is not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Director Luo understood this.

"Then thank you, President Su." Director Luo said immediately.

Now that the matter had been settled, Director Luo didn't need to have so many people gathering here and wasting their time, so everyone ended the consultation.

The consultation ended just like that. How come Professor Yang hadn't spoken yet? Professor Su was an orthopedic surgeon, so why did he ask Director Luo to go to him for a consultation?

The group of doctors and masters who were gathered around didn't know what was going on for a moment. They had never encountered such a consultation before. Some of them even thought they had just been distracted and missed some important information.

"Did you hear Professor Yang's speech just now? How should this patient be treated?"

"No, I didn't hear it." "What happened?"

"I do not know."

These doctors and masters were still too young, with only medical knowledge in their heads, but they could not figure out what the patient had consulted today. How could the consultation be resolved in just a few words?
-
Professor Chang's condition improved day by day, and Yang Ping's work focus shifted back to his own department.

He also took the time to summarize the innovations in the treatment of rabies. In fact, not much work was done on this innovation. He just thoroughly understood and integrated all the existing research theories on rabies, and then linked them with clinical practice to reconnect theory with clinical practice.

The theory is ready, the drugs are ready, and hibernation therapy is a common method in neurology. If you separate them, there is actually nothing innovative, but when they are combined together, a brand new theory is formed. This also gave Yang Ping some inspiration.

After returning to the department, Yang Ping wanted to take time to see Sisi, but there was no one in the ward. The nurse said that Sisi went to the psychology department and Director Bai from the psychology department was chatting with her. Because Sisi was still relatively young and had been suffering from illness for a long time, although the little girl was very smart and strong, it was still easy to have a negative impact on her psychology, so Yang Ping asked Director Bai from the psychology department to chat with her regularly and provide correct psychological counseling.

It is absolutely necessary to provide psychological help to some patients, especially cancer patients. Not only patients, but also medical staff who are under high pressure for a long time actually need some psychological counseling. However, currently, psychological counseling is not taken seriously in China, and sometimes people are even ashamed to see a psychologist.

Sisi will be able to go back to school in a few days. This child is smart and has completed the primary school curriculum ahead of time, so the delay will not affect her studies at all. The subsequent K virus therapy only requires taking time out to be hospitalized for a few days each time, which is very convenient.

Yang Ping also went to see little Zhao Yufan. After he underwent K virus therapy, his tumor was significantly reduced. These obvious treatment effects made old Zhao so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days and nights. This time old Zhao felt the feeling of being saved from a desperate situation. Old Zhao, his son, and the patient next door were playing Landlord in the ward and were having a lot of fun.

Xia Shu and Head Nurse Cai have also worked very hard during this period. They are the main members of the experimental team. Now that Sisi's experiment has been successful, they have returned to the normal work of the department.

Yang Ping checked himself several times afterwards and no K virus was found in his body, which meant it had been completely eliminated, so he didn't have to worry at all now.

Hermes has not returned since he came back from Africa. He goes to Sanbo Hospital every few days and simply regards the hospital as his second home. The doctors and nurses in the entire surgical institute are very familiar with him. He either sends fruits or pastries, and always arranges to send food to the doctors and nurses.

He had nothing to do at the Surgical Institute except sitting in the doctor's office and playing. If a doctor was free, he would chat with him. If no one was free, they would ignore him. He would move a chair and sit in the corner by himself, or stand in front of a human skeleton and meditate. He would not stay for too long each time, about half an hour, and would not cause any trouble to anyone.

This time, Hermes took a tape measure and measured the human skeleton in the doctor's office. Sometimes he observed the human skeleton from different angles, sometimes frowned, sometimes nodded, sometimes touched his chin, and he also took pictures from different angles with his mobile phone, recording something from time to time. The doctors didn't know what he was doing.

Yang Ping came out of the ward and returned to the doctor's office. He saw Hermes staring at the human skeleton in a daze with a tape measure in his hand. He couldn't help but ask him, "Old Wang, are you planning to change your career to study medicine?"

"Oh, Professor Yang, you're back." Hermes smiled, "I was thinking, can we make a 1.8-meter-tall skeleton out of gold? It will look grand if we put it in your doctor's office. The Institute of Surgery is the world's top medical research base, so we have to have some things that look grand, right? I thought about it, it doesn't take much gold to make a skeleton, but I was thinking that pure gold is a bit soft, but it would look low-class if we don't use pure gold. Oh, by the way, all the copper signs at the entrance of your first floor should be replaced with gold, so that it will look grand." Hermes said seriously, not joking at all. In fact, when Hermes talked about gold, you must not think he was joking or bragging, because he was absolutely serious about gold.

"You were thinking about this while standing in front of it just now?" Yang Ping was very surprised. He was really professional. No matter where he went, his heart was filled with gold.

Hermes touched his chin and said, "Professor, if you nod, I will do it. I will make this skeleton 1.8 meters tall, and I will also enlarge the sign at the door a little bit from the original size."

"Are you sure that if we replace our sign with pure gold, it will last until the next day?" Yang Ping asked a serious question.

"That seems to be the case. There are dozens of pure gold signs hanging at the door. If people knew about it, it would be stolen by a thief that night. This is indeed a problem." Hermes thought about it.

"If you put up a golden skeleton here, we will have to send a few security guards to guard it in shifts, right?" Yang Ping raised another serious question.

Hermes touched his chin and said, "Yes, we will also have a security team take turns guarding the sign at the door. Wouldn't that solve this problem?"

Yang Ping was speechless. At this moment, a urologist came in for consultation. When he saw Hermes, he immediately recognized him and asked, "Mr. Wang?"

"Yes, who are you?" Hermes couldn't remember for a moment.

"You know me. I'm from the urology department. I helped you upgrade your equipment with Director Lu. Do you remember?" said the urology doctor.

Hermes immediately remembered: "Mr. Liao?"

"Oh, now I'm a chief physician, not a general manager anymore." The urologist said with a smile, "Are you satisfied with your upgraded equipment? Is it still useful?"

"Thank you, thank you so much, it's very useful." Hermes said with satisfaction.

Because they were in the doctor's office, the urologist forgot to be shy and said, "I seem to remember that your upgrade surgery was very successful, and it increased by 6 centimeters. You were originally considered normal equipment, but after such a strong enhancement, you really became an enhanced version. I tested it at the time, and it seemed to reach 18 centimeters in working condition. I still have the photos here for my paper."

The doctors in the office immediately turned their heads, and one of them, who was familiar with him, said, "Lao Wang, I can't tell, it's OK!"

"If you need help, please contact me. It's free. I'm collecting cases to write a paper." The urologist immediately started promoting it.
