Chapter 515 The Iron Triangle

Yang Ping woke up naturally after sleeping in the hotel, and it was already past nine o'clock in the morning when he woke up.

Li Zehui didn't bother him, Yang Ping had a buffet breakfast at the hotel before calling Li Zehui.

Li Zehui went to the hotel to take Yang Ping to the hospital. The baby's pre-operative reexamination results have come out, and various biochemical indicators are very bad.

"Can it be operated on?"

Li Zehui asked cautiously.

Yang Ping read the examination results three times before nodding: "Normal operation tomorrow."

From a conventional point of view, the current physiological state of the baby is not suitable for surgery, but without surgery, a better state cannot be obtained. This is a pair of contradictory endless loops.

The only way to untie the endless loop - risky surgery.

Yang Ping personally performed another cardiac color Doppler ultrasound and cardiac catheterization for Xiaojia.

Then repeat the physical examination many times, and carefully check each time to dynamically grasp the changes in the baby's condition.

After the inspection, Yang Ping would smile at the baby's father in the corner as a greeting, and the Yemeni would also smile at Yang Ping, with a shy and embarrassing smile.

In the doctor's office, Yang Ping called up the video again, watched it carefully, and tirelessly explained the details of the operation to Li Zehui, because he would be the first aid.

Although Li Zehui is the world's top cardiac surgeon, he is not Song Zimo. Song Zimo was trained by Yang Ping, and he can understand every detail.

The general process of this operation is to open the chest cavity, cut off the connection between the heart and the body, take it out of the chest cavity, and completely separate it from the body.

Then on a sterile table, the tumor was removed from the isolated heart, the deformity was corrected, and finally the heart was reimplanted into the chest cavity.

After the heart is taken out of the chest cavity, the heart's tolerance to ischemia time is 4 to 6 hours, that is, all this must be completed within this time.

If you encounter difficulties in the middle of the operation and the operation gets stuck, just like taking out a car engine, it cannot be restored after being disassembled, and the consequences can be imagined.

Li Zehui is also not sure whether Yang Ping can complete it at this time, it is too difficult.

In this series of operations, one step cannot be wrong or slow. Even so, it is really too difficult to complete this series of operations in such a short period of time.

Li Zehui felt that he had tried his best, and Yang Ping was the strongest surgeon Li Zehui believed. If the operation failed, he would have no regrets.
-
Aldo Reddy, a heart surgeon at North Shore Hospital in Australia, is a well-known doctor in the industry.

He is a good friend of Dodge. Of course, he is also a contracted doctor of this hospital in Saudi Arabia. He can get hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission when he comes for more than ten days every year.

Melvin Mason was his infusionist. After receiving a call from Melvin Mason, he caught the first plane and flew to Saudi Arabia. He wanted to fight side by side with Dodge.

When he rushed to Dodge's office, Dodge was frowning.

"What exactly happened?"

Aldo Reddy asked anxiously, he had never seen the proud Dodge so depressed.

Seeing this old friend, Dodge immediately gave Odoretti a hug: "You came too timely, the sky is about to change here, and the Chinese want to dominate everything here. If they succeed, maybe the Saudis will not continue with us in the future." contract, but with the Chinese.”

Dodge is just Dodge. He always gives two reasons when he recruits friends to do things. One is a high-sounding reason—such as maintaining professional honor or order, and the other is a tacit reason—interest.

Moreover, Dodge is good at exaggerating and sensationalizing the consequences of things, and then this serious consequence must be closely related to the interests of the other party.

Melvin Mason added fuel to the fire: "I've said enough on the phone, you see, Li Ze will not only leave Dodge aside in this operation, but also me. , in any case, it is unreasonable, if Dodge is not qualified for the Yemeni baby's operation, is the young Chinese eligible?"

"Where is Brin, why didn't I see him?" Aldo Reddy felt that Brin should be present at this time.

"That guy Brin has turned traitor. He said he has a sore throat. He won't help anyone and stay neutral. In fact, as far as I know, he boarded the yacht of the Li Zehui and ate mutton with them." Melvin Mason instigated The atmosphere is a hand.

"Can you take a look?"

Dodge pushed the tablet to Odorelli: "This Yemeni baby, you are very familiar with the case, Li Ze will invite a Chinese to perform the surgery. It is ridiculous that this doctor is actually an orthopedic surgeon."

"This is the information of a Chinese doctor, Yang Ping. Even his name is so rustic and ugly. He is an orthopedic surgeon, really an orthopedic surgeon. All the papers that can be found are about orthopedics. There is no paper in the field of cardiac surgery. Such a person can be invited by Li Zehui to perform this rare and difficult heart surgery. His education history has never shown that he has education and training experience in cardiac surgery, even for a year. If he comes to perform this operation , Where is your status? Where is the professional order? This is tantamount to telling the Saudis that the Americans and Australians are helpless, and Chinese orthopedic surgeons are required to perform this operation?"

Melvin Mason handed Odorelli a thick document, which was about Yang Ping, and he spent a long time searching and sorting it out.

Odorelli frowned, flipping through the information, this doctor named Yang Ping, although there are several articles in the world's top magazines with very high scores, but they are orthopedic papers.

If these papers are about cardiac surgery, everything is reasonable, but he is a paper about orthopedics, and orthopedic surgeons perform heart surgery, which is really the biggest joke of the year.

Interlacing is like a mountain. In the medical industry, especially surgery, different specialties are not separated by ordinary mountains, but Mount Everest.

"Ridiculous! This is a blasphemy against the profession, we must stop it!"

Odorelli scolded, this is indeed a bad thing.

Even if it wasn't so bad, he would be so angry that he would support the Dodgers fully in order to maintain their standing in the world of academia.

The benefits of being at the pinnacle of this kind of academics are beyond words, how could it be possible for the Chinese to share in the pie.

How could it be possible for such a rare and unprecedented case to be performed by a Chinese? Regardless of success or failure, they believe that the Chinese can only observe and learn, and then it will be his turn to perform the operation.

Dodge and Odorelli, they are high above and control huge resources, they enjoy this high status and benefits.Now it is no longer a matter of considering the success or failure of the operation, but no matter what, the young Chinese performing the operation is a challenge to those at the top of the academic chain.

"They have no loopholes in law and ethics, because Li Zehui is willing to endorse for him, and the Saudi Ministry of Health issued a temporary surgical license, and we seem to be unable to find a counterpoint." Melvin Mason said helplessly.

Li Zehui has absolute autonomy for his patients, and no one can interfere unless he breaks the law or violates ethics.

"If there is no loophole, we will create a loophole. Anyway, we can't let them succeed." Dodge said domineeringly.

Anyway, this operation, he can do it, others would be overestimated.

If he made a mistake, it should have been. It was a charge towards the pinnacle of the profession, and it was a brave attempt to solve medical problems; if Yang Ping did it, it would be contemptuous of life and lack of respect for medicine.

"This is a naked challenge and contempt, we must fight back!" Odorelli was very firm.

It's just humiliating, ignoring their existence.

With the arrival of Odorelli, one American and two Australians formed an iron triangle, and they wanted to prevent the Chinese from performing surgery.

Dodge is determined to prevent Yang Ping from performing the surgery. This kind of crude idea has gone beyond the scope of academic conflicts, and he regards Yang Ping's arrival as a challenge to himself.

In his logic, this kind of surgery should be performed by the world's top Dodge. An unknown Chinese who wants to perform this kind of surgery is not qualified, and it is not Yang Ping's turn to explore unknown areas.

Especially since Li Zehui didn't let him touch this operation, he felt even more resentful.

"I have already written a letter to the academic committee of the Cleveland Clinic, and they will respond soon. This Chinese doctor is not qualified to perform this type of operation. If he insists on going his own way, he will be made to pay the price."

Dodge said harshly.

Odorelli said it was the right thing to do.

As for whether they have the right to interfere with Yang Ping, they don't care.

"Gentlemen, I have an immature idea." The perfusionist Melvin Mason smiled mysteriously.

"Please speak!" Odorelli encouraged him, this guy has always had a lot of ideas.

"Why do we bother so much before the operation? Is it better to put these tasks after the operation? Once the operation fails, an unqualified orthopedic surgeon performs a difficult heart operation, and then the patient dies on the operating table. Don’t you think that this topic is very hot, why is the Cleveland Academic Committee sitting idly by? Li Zehui is one of your people? He guarantees to recommend people, why don’t you investigate the educational background?” The perfusionist said his plan.

Dodge and Odorelli were taken aback for a moment, it turned out that this guy was the most ruthless.

"Do you think that orthopedic surgeon can complete the operation?" The perfusionist sneered disdainfully.

Dodge shook his head: "How is it possible? I don't believe that magic exists in the world. I don't have the experience of [-] cases of heart surgery. Facing such cases, my head will go blank, and my hands will tremble involuntarily. [-] cases, this young man? Go dreaming."

"You can't do it even in your dreams? Haha!" The perfusionist became excited.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Odorelli asked uncertainly, this is a bit vicious, and has violated the bottom line.

If it is stopped before the operation, it can be considered as a respect for life and respect for the profession.

But knowing that they will fail, without warning before the operation, watching him have an accident, and then condemning him after the operation, it is a bit despicable.

Dodge said firmly: "Of course it will be done!"

At this moment, he became angry from embarrassment and lost his mind a little. The anger accumulated during this period of time was completely released at this time.

Just like a superstar in the NBA, he is playing hard and playing normally, and suddenly the coach tells you, come down and let this kid play, that kid is a rookie who has never played.

What's more, it wasn't the coach who told him to end.

Dodge regards Li Zehui's behavior as a humiliation.

Odorelli hesitated: "Well, I will always stand with you."

He thought it was a little too much, but so what, he and Dodge were in the same boat.
