NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 118 118: I can cure your lameness, open the door!
Hammer to pieces?

"Haha, good idea, young man."

If only it were that easy.

Jiang Ming thought to himself that it was fortunate that he was a modern person.

If ancient Chinese medicine practitioners really heard this, they would really try it. If the spine is corrected, the malignant osteosarcoma cells can be blasted and disappear on the surface, and it can also relieve the severe pain in this area.

But malignant cells can spread rapidly throughout the body.

It may have been in the early stage, but after this blow, it instantly becomes the late stage and the patient will definitely die within a year.

"Isn't it okay?"

"No, you're kidding. I thought it was a spinal deformity, but I discovered it too late."

"Late stage? No!" Xu Yongzhen was like a child. He grabbed Jiang Ming's hand instantly, his voice trembling.

“It’s because it was discovered late, not in the late stage.”

Jiang Ming didn't say much. The current situation is that it was discovered too late.

I'm not bragging. If I had met him earlier, I could have checked the disease through body posture in the early stages. This kind of disease will definitely have symptoms of spinal discomfort in the beginning. If he still felt uncomfortable after Jiang Ming's treatment, I would definitely have taken him for an X-ray.

The problem will be immediately revealed when filming.

It's not like Xu Yong who waited until he entered the Olympic selection team to explode. This is another example of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

But the CBA schedule is so tight and he is so young. Let alone the team doctor, which doctor in the hospital could have thought of this?
It can be said that even if he went to see a doctor in the early stages of his illness, 99% of the doctors would have suggested that he rest more, recuperate at home, and not play basketball recently, given his age and muscular body.

And even if the doctor knew about malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine, he would not have suspected President Xu Yong because this mostly occurs in people over 30 years old.

That's why they say God is jealous of talented people. He could have had the opportunity to make a splash in international competitions such as the Olympics and the World Championships, just like Yao Yi did during his playing career, but fate dealt him a heavy blow.

And why is he living in Yao's team's residence now? Jiang Ming guessed that it is most likely that the team's insurance will not reimburse the fee. After all, this should not be an injury caused by the player's playing, so the agency has to pay for it first?
Xu Yong is only on a rookie contract in the CBA, which pays him tens of thousands of RMB a year at most, so it's really tragic. He has to rely on himself and can't even afford the medical expenses.

If he plays for a few more years, his situation will definitely be much better than it is now.

Xu Yong's mother just came back from cooking for Xu Yong. As a former female basketball player, she naturally knew Jiang Ming, an international team doctor. After seeing the situation here, she calmly asked Jiang Ming:

"Director Jiang, my son is ignorant and has caused you trouble."

"Well, you have seen a lot abroad. What should you do in a situation like his?"

Jiang Ming said: "Although I can't play in the Olympics, I can probably still play basketball!"

Jiang Ming also learned not to speak too much, in case something goes wrong, the family members would come to question him.

thump!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Yong's mother fell to her knees, her tone changed, and she cried out:

"Doctor, you must save my son! I will pay any price to treat him! As long as he can continue to play basketball, my husband and I will sell everything we have to cure him!"

Jiang Ming was startled and quickly squatted down to help her up. Xu Yong just stayed on the hospital bed and watched his mother kneel down in front of him for the first time for him, his eyes full of shock.

He was even more shocked that Jiang Ming was the first doctor to say that he could still play basketball in the future!!
real?
of?
?
Fang Xiaotong, who is familiar with the psychology of patients, squeezed her face and pinched Jiang Ming's waist:

"It's too full."

"Huh? Is being able to play basketball considered too full?"

Jiang Ming wondered how serious the case was as the doctor had said before.
However, Xu Yong's mother is a typical Chinese parent. In order to pursue this career in basketball, she doesn't want to give up at all.

So he comforted:
"Auntie, please sit down first. I can only say that I will try my best to help you. Because I am also a basketball player, I think I know more. And even if I can't play professional basketball, I can be a basketball coach, a commentator, or even a coach in the future. With Xu Yong's English level, it will be no problem for him to be an English teacher.

Life is a wilderness, not a track, and there is still a long way to go. "

Life is a wilderness, not a track!

After hearing this, Zhang Mingji gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up in his heart. Is this really the kind of ideological awareness that a young doctor should have?
Really ahead of its time.

You have to know that Chinese parents usually stick to one path once they see a way out, which means they would never let their children change tracks easily. But Jiang Ming's words are so awesome.

However, Xu Yong was obviously not old enough to understand. Her mother only listened to the first half and didn't even think about the English teacher in the second half. They thought that following in their parents' footsteps, basketball was the best choice.

However, seeing that the situation was somewhat stagnant, Zhang Mingji returned directly to the topic:
"Doctor Jiang, if you say he can continue to play basketball, then I will definitely let you treat him. What should we do next? We will fully cooperate with you.

Which hospital should we arrange for him to go to? Or should we go directly to the United States? Anyway, our Yao team will pay for all expenses. "

Zhang Mingji was also gambling, betting that Jiang Ming's medical skills could be as powerful as the plaster he made for Yao Ming, and as omnipotent as what was said in the news!

He himself believed in Jiang Ming, and even said that Xu Yong had only been taking medicine until now, as if he was waiting for Jiang Ming's team.

Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji would not be willing to not let him see it, so it has been delayed until now.

But now, after hearing Jiang Ming say in person that Xu Yong could not be treated conservatively, he completely gave up the idea of ​​going down this path. It seemed that surgery was the only option.

Let’s have surgery!
Leave it to Jiang Ming!

rest assured!

Xu Yong's mother and Xu Yong also nodded. In their opinion, Jiang Ming was a doctor who had returned from abroad. He had his own halo. Besides, he had been treating basketball players. Who else could they trust if not him?

"Row."

Seeing that they were going to hand Xu Yong over to him, Jiang Ming didn't say much. He arranged for Jiang Muyan and Fang Xiaotong to record Xu Yong's current condition and prepared to contact Dongli Hospital to take over.

He felt that his parents could definitely help.

While checking blood pressure, Xu Yong asked Fang Xiaotong:
"Sister, can I be cured?"

Fang Xiaotong's signature sweet smile:

"Whether malignant central osteosarcoma of the spine can be cured depends on the location and size of the tumor, the clinical stage before surgery, and the recovery after surgery."

Jiang Ming, who was about to make a phone call, said directly:

"If the cells are removed surgically, it can be completely cured. The images you took three days ago show that it is still in the early stages. The tumor is only located in a part of the spine, and the tumor is small in size. It has not caused serious damage to the stable structure of the spine. By surgically removing the tumor and reducing the burden on the spine, better treatment results can be achieved.

It depends on whether we can remove all the cells without leaving any residue. This will completely solve your spinal pain and allow you to return to the basketball court."

If it reaches the late stage, it means it has metastasized to distant places from the spine and is generally incurable. It requires comprehensive treatments such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

"Okay! Director Jiang, I will fully cooperate with your treatment!"

After knowing that he had no chance of participating in the Olympics, Xu Yong stopped thinking about it and just wanted to get well soon. Returning to the court to play was the most important thing to do now!

Jiang Muyan also cooperated skillfully with Fang Xiaotong, and said to Xu Yong's mother in slightly broken Chinese:
"Before surgery, pay attention to eating more fresh vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, etc., avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, pay attention to rest, and avoid walking, which will help alleviate the condition."

"Okay, thank you!"

"What? You can't do it?"

At this time, Jiang Ming, who was talking on the phone with his mother Li Yang in the corridor, suddenly raised his voice.

Because he originally wanted to rent the orthopedic operating table of Dongli Hospital and perform an operation with his parents for the first time. However, Li Yang directly and firmly stated that it was almost impossible to perform the operation so perfectly.

"To put it bluntly, this disease is incurable. Surgery can only remove the osteosarcoma to relieve the compression of the spinal cord or nerves and restore a certain stability of the spine. However, as long as the cells are not removed completely, the compression will always exist and will accompany him for life. It is very likely that it will relapse in a few years and surgery will be required, not to mention playing professional basketball. Those of you who understand sports medicine also know that if the spine is always compressed like this, no matter how talented you are, you can't play professional basketball."

Jiang Ming fell into deep thought. Indeed, what was the point if he had to undergo radiation treatment to remove the lesions before each performance, and then take endless cyclophosphamide, aspirin and other painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs?

Xu Yong loves basketball, but is it still a passion if it is so painful every time he goes on the court?
Li Yang walked to Jiang Yu's office and turned on the speaker for Jiang Yu to listen to. Jiang Yu also said:

"We can do it, but it will require long-term medication and radiotherapy. The situation you described is too difficult, and I'm telling the truth." "What's wrong? I knew you could do it, Dad!"

Although Jiang Ming has been hailed as a miracle doctor, in Jiang Ming's eyes, his father will always be the person he looks up to.

Since he was a child, he has watched his father in a white coat helping patients solve their problems. In his perception, there is nothing his father cannot do and no surgery that cannot be completed.

That's why he turned to his dad when he was in trouble this time.

But I didn't expect that this time my dad shattered my filter:
"You can't do it. If your parents had this level of ability, they would have been the dean long ago."

Li Yang also sighed beside him:
"We are all old, our hands are shaky, and we need to perform a very precise excision. We have very little experience with tumors. Your father must have meant to say that, to be honest, we at Dongli Hospital do not have a team that can meet your requirements."

"Eh, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ming did not lose heart. In this case, there was no need to rent an operating room from Dongli Hospital. He just unconditionally trusted his experienced parents at the first opportunity.

And now his parents' refusal made him realize that if he wanted Xu Yong to stand on the court again, he had to use top-notch equipment!
If even parents can't do it, then it's not something that common sense can do.

We need the geniuses to cooperate!

Although his father didn't say it, Jiang Ming could tell that what he meant was that there were hospitals in Europe and the United States that could do it, but Dongli Hospital was definitely not at that level.

That requires a state-of-the-art operating room!

The best team of doctors.

Young surgeons with steady hands!
Jiang Ming then called Sean directly, as he was an expert at this job.

Sure enough, Sean's response was completely different from his parents':

"Early stage? Not bad, I can try to remove all of them, no problem, even if I have to keep it open for 12 hours straight, I have to remove all of these cells!"

"Then how about I call House?"

"Limp House??? If you can call him, we don't have to do anything. His team can definitely do it."

In the eyes of young doctors like Sean, the House team is the most magical and eccentric team. As long as they take action, there is no surgery that cannot be performed in the United States. Sometimes they operate on beggars in the slums for free. Sometimes billionaires come and House shakes his head and says he can't operate.
Therefore, everyone in the industry knows that whether or not to invite House depends entirely on his mood.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. Where are you now? Meet at the Plosti University Hospital within a week, OK?"

"I just finished climbing the Alps with Mr. Thomas Reese, so you can come over!"

"You guys are in a good mood. OK, come over if you don't have any plans next time."

It's no wonder that Sean is indispensable for such delicate surgery. Sean's hands are born with surgical skills, much better than Jiang Ming, Jiang Muyan and others. Jiang Ming performed the last ligament surgery with ease.

But when it comes to cells and tumors, one has to look at images at the same time, so no matter how great his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is, it's hard to be of much help.

The same goes for Jiang Muyan, she is an expert but not a doctor.

So we have to hire someone!
The first person he thought of was Dr. House, who had left early during Oden's consultation.

This was a guy who knew before Jiang Ming that Oden didn't need surgery, which surprised Jiang Ming at the time.

Later, Sean kept saying that he thought House was the best surgeon in the United States, so Jiang Ming thought of him.

After all, Oden was so impressed during the consultation, so there must be a magnetic attraction between geniuses. So Jiang Ming was not worried at all that House would not take action, but was worried that it would be too late.

So Jiang Ming decisively asked Zhang Mingji to quickly apply for Xu Yong's visa or something:

"Go to the United States for treatment."

"Row!"

In fact, Zhang Mingji had already thought of it and went to do it directly.

After all, if Jiang Ming comes for treatment, the United States will be his home country, and he must be more familiar with the hospital in Portland.

Moreover, as a frequent traveler between China and the United States, he has to admit that the United States is undoubtedly far ahead in medicine, and there is a greater hope of complete recovery with medical treatment in the United States.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming asked him to send Xu Yong to the Princeton University Hospital.

This?
When Zhang Mingji went to handle the formalities for Xu Yong, he also learned that Princeton Hospital is the largest state medical and health science university hospital in the United States, with nearly a hundred years of clinical teaching experience.

It has received an A in patient safety rating from Leapfrog for six consecutive years, and its imaging and nursing are ranked first in the United States.

He also found that the hospital's health department has established partnerships with major companies to provide customized high-end physical examination services to meet their needs.

Over the years, numerous internationally renowned companies and celebrities have participated in his personal medical examination and treatment projects: the Saudi royal family, the Kennedy family, Wall Street tycoons, and famous movie stars.
Don't underestimate these people. None of them could come to China's hospitals for treatment. There is a qualitative difference in their professional abilities.

It can be seen that the business capabilities of this hospital are actually similar to those of the well-known Mayo Clinic, but the price is definitely cheaper than Mayo Clinic.

Could it be that Jiang Ming also took into consideration Xu Yong's financial strength?
The price-performance ratio is very good!

Thinking of this chapter, Mingji has admired Jiang Ming more and more. It is rare to find a doctor who cares so much about his patients.

You know, Yao Ming was very generous before, and Jiang Ming could have chosen a better and more expensive hospital, but he chose such a cost-effective hospital!
You will definitely become a world-class doctor in the future!

But in fact, Zhang Mingji was overthinking this time. He chose Princeton University Hospital entirely because Dr. House was the director of the diagnostic department of Princeton University Hospital (PPTH).

Jiang Ming didn't care what Zhang Mingji was thinking. If the medical expenses were really not enough, he would get the treatment even if he had to pay for it himself. He really wanted to see an Asian guard fly in the NBA!
When Jiang Ming flew to Princeton University Hospital, he realized that he had overthought.

House did not have the feeling of mutual admiration between geniuses as he had imagined, and did not even know Jiang Ming.

When Jiang Ming went to his office, he didn't see him. He only saw a blond handsome assistant under him. The assistant had a ruthless look on his face:

"Director House doesn't know you, and he only sees patients. Your patient didn't come, so he asked you to register if you have something to do."

He only has a half-day outpatient clinic that week?
Jiang Mingke had heard that House was the only person in the United States who only saw patients in the outpatient clinic for half a day, and he was only allowed to come out to see patients because the dean threatened to not let him use the operating room.

There is no such thing as me waiting!
Jiang Mingke can't wait.

"I'm a doctor too, and I want to do an operation with him."

"The patient has to come, or you can register and talk to him. You should know our director's character. No one can convince him."

Then the door was closed, blocking Jiang Ming outside.

"Why are they all the same?"

This made Sean want to go up and knock on the door again, thinking that this was God Jiang, when had Jiang Ming ever been treated like this!
We must tell them Jiang Ming’s identity!
Just as Jiang Ming was about to hold him back, a nurse passing by saw that Jiang Ming was a handsome guy and couldn't help but stepped forward to remind him:
"Stop knocking on the door. Although Director House is a skilled doctor, he has a bad attitude and thinks that all patients are not trustworthy. He only believes in the causes of diseases that he has found in his own unique way.

So you should wait for the registration. Although there are many people registering for his number, they are seen very quickly because he doesn’t say much. "

"I don't believe it."

Jiang Ming rolled his eyes, pulled the nurse and said:

"Then you must have his phone number. Let me give him a try."

"Even if I hit him, he would stop talking in a second. He won't talk."

Although the nurse said so, the phone number was leaked directly.

Jiang Ming dialed the number directly under the nurse's surprised gaze. He didn't hesitate. No matter what your personality is, the first sentence he said was:

"I can cure your lameness, open the door!"
