godfather of surgery

Chapter 776 Go buy ten pigs
In the morning, when the shift is over.

Teng Xinmei was focused on as a key case, so everyone stayed there relatively long.

"The left ventricle and ventricular septum are so hypertrophic, the operation is very difficult and not easy to cut."

Song Zimo has already adapted to the disease spectrum of general surgery and successfully completed the role transition from an orthopedic surgeon to a general surgeon.

As the only medical team leader in the general surgery department, Xu Zhiliang was not to be outdone and spoke immediately:

"The main operating field of view and space are severely limited. From the aorta into the left ventricle, is radiofrequency ablation and alcohol ablation feasible?"

Song Zimo denied: "Definitely not. It is so serious that neither radiofrequency ablation nor alcohol ablation can be thorough, and these two methods are not accurate. Once excessive, it is easy to cause conduction block, and in the end, permanent cardiac pacing will have to be installed. device."

"Indeed - troublesome!" Xu Zhiliang agreed.

These two generals in general surgery, no matter whether it is surgery or theory, would definitely be a lonely existence in any other hospital.

In single-wheel scoliosis correction surgery, these two people are no worse than any industry experts. They are smart and very diligent. They have systematic training from experts and a large number of case practices. They have all the conditions for the growth of excellent surgeons, so The growth rate is very fast.

"The existing surgical methods cannot completely achieve the purpose of resection. I am going to use a new set of new technologies to perform this operation." Yang Ping expressed his opinion.

"new technology?"

Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang looked over in surprise.

The professor has been particularly obsessed with new things recently. It seems that he is tired of all surgeries and can only innovate to eliminate professional fatigue.

"My method, the surgical method is brand new, and the tools are also brand new. It's hard to tell the details now. The tools should be delivered by Manager Huang from Ruixing in the next two days. When the tools are delivered, I will explain it to you again, Song Zimo , you contact the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University and buy ten experimental pigs. I told Dean Xia that a room in the spare building of the hospital will be allocated for us to use as a temporary surgical laboratory. The instruments will arrive in two days, and we will It will be tested on pigs and if there are no problems, it will go directly to the clinic." Yang Ping told everyone.

If the new technology is implemented according to the normal process, it will definitely take a long time. This is inefficient and a waste of time.

Yang Ping plans to follow this process for future new surgical procedures. He will first test them on pigs. If there are no problems, he will go directly to the clinic.

Yang Ping knew the new surgical method well and had already tested it on a large number of experimental subjects in the system space. There was no problem at all. The animal experiments were just to find a basis for entering the clinic.

"Okay, I'll contact you later. Last time I heard Professor He say that they just purchased a batch of experimental pigs from Baoding, with a full range of varieties, and they are all top quality."

"Instead of ordinary experimental pigs, get ten SPF experimental pigs. When you select them, it is best to scan the heart with color ultrasound. The size of the heart should be as close as possible to Teng Xinmei's heart." Yang Ping told Song Zimo.

"Dr. Song, let me go." Li Guodong volunteered.

This case is in charge of Li Guodong, who wants to participate in as many things as possible. Li Guodong is very eager to learn. He hopes that he can continue to study for a doctorate in the future and stay in the general surgery department of Sanbo Hospital.

As experimental subjects, pigs are very close to humans. Their tissue and organ morphology, physiological control methods, behavioral patterns, genetic control mechanisms, etc. are close to humans in many aspects.

Moreover, the heart size and heart rate of pigs are very close to those of humans, so using pigs for experiments is highly persuasive and has better reproducibility, whether in scientific research or clinical practice.

"Dr. Liang, is it okay to anesthetize pigs?"

Yang Ping asked Fatty Liang that he would be in charge of the experimental anesthesia work. Although the General Surgery Department had introduced two anesthesiologists, Yang Ping's royal anesthesiologist was still Fatty Liang.

"Monkeys, rabbits, and mice have all been anesthetized, so the pigs will definitely be fine." Fatty Liang said easily.

"I told Dean Xia today to bring over the room and make do with it this time. After completing this experiment, we will decorate this room according to the standard laminar flow operating room and use it as a surgical laboratory. We will also use it for soundproofing. Do it well, otherwise sometimes the pigs will bark too loudly during the experiment and the impact will be bad."

"Will it be used often in the future?" Xu Zhiliang asked.

Yang Ping replied: "Of course, if there are any new techniques or new instruments in the future, pigs must be used to perform the surgery first.

"Professor, shall I buy a pig today?" Li Guodong thought that he should buy it earlier so that he could start the experiment earlier.

Song Zimo gave Li Guodong a day off: "Guodong, you don't need surgery today. Today's task is to buy ten pigs."

"Buy it - where to put it?" Li Guodong was worried.

Song Zimo is a familiar person: "They deliver goods to your door. You go and select the order first, and make an appointment with them on the delivery time and location. They will deliver the goods to your door on time. Can you choose?"

"When I buy an SPF experimental pig, the heart size is based on Teng Xinmei's heart size. Should I bring a color ultrasound machine to scan it?" This is Li Guodong's first time buying a pig.

Song Zimo told him: "There is a mobile color ultrasound machine over there. As long as you know how to use it, we don't need to bring it ourselves."

In this way, the matter was decided at the morning meeting, and Li Guodong went to purchase ten experimental pigs. When the new equipment arrived, animal experiments were immediately carried out.

After finishing his shift, Li Guodong did not need to participate in the operation. He took two regular trainees with him and took the hospital's special car to Nandu Medical University to buy pigs. This was a serious task and there was no chance of anything going wrong.

The pigs bought must not only be of the right breed, but also have a heart size that is approximately the same as Teng Xinmei's.

Teng Shaokui wandered around the hospital to familiarize himself with the hospital environment. He found a relatively secluded place and found Boss Li's number on his mobile phone.

Boss Li is also from Beiqiao County, which is in the same township as Teng Shaokui. He is a small contractor, a very small one, with only a dozen workers under him, and he also has to participate in labor.

It was already five years ago. At that time, Teng Shaokui was working on the construction site with Boss Li. Teng Shaokui was very strong and could do the work of several people by himself. He was also in good health and never missed work due to illness. He was also honest in his work. , he does all the dirty and tiring work without complaining or grumbling, just like a cow, and is deeply appreciated by Boss Li.

Besides, one time Boss Li received a small project and the wages were not paid on time, so the workers went on strike and forced Boss Li to settle the bill. However, if he refused to go on strike, he could not get money from his employer, so Boss Li was anxious and the workers were in a hurry. If you don't agree with him, they'll all leave.

At this time, Teng Shaokui did not leave. He also lent the 1 yuan of wages he had saved to Boss Li for emergencies. He and Boss Li continued to work, just the two of them, day and night, until the installment of the previous home was completed. Payment arrives.

In this way, Teng Shaokui and Boss Li also have some friendship, so Teng Shaokui feels confident about borrowing money.The current house in Teng Shaokui's family was built by working on the construction site to earn money. Later, due to various reasons, Teng Shaokui returned to his hometown.

I heard that Boss Li is currently building a highway in Guizhou and is in short supply of manpower. This news happened two years ago. I don’t know if the highway has been completed and if there is still a shortage of manpower.

I tried dialing the number, but the phone kept being unable to get through, and it always showed that the call was in progress.

After fighting for a full hour, the situation was still the same. Teng Shaokui felt a chill in his heart. This boss Li was his greatest hope and the one who was most likely to be able to borrow money. Others, including relatives and friends, might not be able to count on him.

Boss Li's phone was temporarily unavailable. Teng Shaokui sat in the pavilion in the hospital garden, reviewing the phone calls one by one according to the address book on his mobile phone, and then felt panicked.

My relatives don't have much money, and even if they have money, most of them won't borrow it. The only thing they can borrow is maybe three to five thousand, which is considered the most benevolent thing.

My wife's relatives want her to ask for a loan, so she probably shouldn't even think about medical treatment. It's impossible.

How difficult it is!

Even if the doctor is willing to perform the operation first, it will only delay it for a few days at most, and he will definitely have to make up for it later. It’s expensive!Where to raise money?
A living person won't be choked to death by shit and urine, but he can be choked to death by money.

Teng Shaokui had no choice but to wander around the hospital. After walking around in a few circles, he returned to a quiet place and began to look through the address book on his mobile phone again, calling Boss Li's number.

Finally I got through, and the other person was a stranger. He said he didn't know Boss Li at all, and then hung up the phone with a curse.

With this line so broken, Teng Shaokui began to panic and wander around the hospital aimlessly.

He went to the hospital in a hurry, and even had absurd thoughts. He heard that there was a contact number for selling kidneys in the hospital toilet. He actually went to the toilet, going from toilet to toilet, and recorded the phone number behind the toilet door.

But then I thought about it, these things are unreliable. I am alone and my daughter is still living in the hospital. What if she is deceived, has her kidney cut off, fails to get the money, or is taken away from her life? What will my daughter do? , what to do at home.

Teng Shaokui gave up this ridiculous idea and didn't return to the ward until dark.

After hurried back to the ward, Xinmei saw that her father's face was not very good: "Dad, are you okay?"

Teng Shaokui said: "It's okay. I'm not acclimatized and have a little diarrhea. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"Dad, please be careful. The air conditioning here is cold at night. You should cover yourself with a quilt and don't drink water outside." Xinmei warned her father like an adult.

"Don't worry, your dad's body is as strong as iron. It's a small matter."

Teng Shaokui nodded and said, thinking about it all the time.

The doctor promised to arrange the operation as soon as possible, but it was a verbal agreement and there was no money. When the operation was completed and the patient ran away, the hospital would suffer a huge loss. Teng Shaokui understood this.

Therefore, he had to find a way to get money. He would ask a few more people later to find Boss Li's new phone number, hoping to contact him.

Then, relatives and friends all ask how much they can borrow. Regarding my wife, whether it is ok or not, I have to open up about it and try my best to try without giving up hope.

I want to see if I can get a mortgage on my family's house and go to a credit union for a loan. I also have some camellia oil, rapeseed oil, and a barn of rice. I've sold all the pigs, chickens, and ducks. Anyway, my daughter's illness must be treated.

Even if he loses his fortune and sells iron, he still has to cure his illness. Teng Shaokui is so stubborn.

Li Guodong went to Nandu Medical University and bought ten pigs. The animal department there was responsible for door-to-door delivery. Li Guodong agreed with them on a time and place and came back to report to Yang Ping.

"Professor, I used a color ultrasound machine to measure the heart. The heart is almost the same as Teng Xinmei's. People over there said they are pigs from the Tianpeng Project, the best experimental pigs in the country. Will we often ask for goods in the future? If necessary, feel free to contact them. Contact us, their pigs are now all guaranteed to be the best breeds for the canopy project." Li Guodong reported excitedly.

"Yes, we will start work as soon as the surgical instruments arrive. I have already obtained the room. You can take a few students to decorate it. You will be the main commander. There are colleagues from the logistics department who will move things. Just follow the layout of the operating room and go to the warehouse to pick one. An old operating bed. Anyway, you know the things in the operating room. Don’t rush the patient’s surgery. Just postpone it a little and wait for my notice." Yang Ping told Li Guodong.

Li Guodong was very flexible and knew what to do. He took several students to decorate the laboratory.

Rui Xing moved quickly, and Huang Jiahui delivered the instruments. Although Huang Jiahui had been promoted to the manager of Rui Xing's South China Region, she still delivered the instruments and performed Yang Ping's surgery in person.

It's great to have your own medical device company. You don't have to ask for help. You can draw a drawing yourself, and the device will be delivered to you in a few days, fully packaged and sterilized.

"Professor, there are five sets in total, all sterilized. These are power rotary cutters."

Yang Ping took out a power rotary cutter, opened the package, and tore off the inner packaging and sealing film. It was very good. When he designed the equipment, he only drew drawings and did not design specific processes. Engineers had to do all this.

"Professor, look, this is coated with polymer material." Huang Jiahui introduced.

Yang Ping gently stroked the surface of the instrument: "With these coatings, the instrument is like wearing an invisible cloak, which will not interfere with the esophageal color ultrasound and will not cause artifacts in the color ultrasound image."

"Gong Chen has done a lot of tests. There are no artifacts at all under color ultrasound, and the coating of the instrument will not show any wear after being used about a thousand times. Based on the blade heads of different sizes and angles, Mr. Chen made 9 sets of them." Handle, three diameters, three angles.”

Yang Ping was very satisfied with the equipment, put it away and said, "Manager Huang, tell Mr. Chen that I am very satisfied."

Jiahui was very happy: "Gong Chen also said that he will design a low-temperature plasma knife for intracardiac surgery based on your surgical ideas. In the future, it will be better to use a plasma knife for this kind of surgery."

"When the heart is beating continuously, without extracorporeal circulation, when the low-temperature plasma knife performs myocardial ablation in the blood, bubbles will be generated, and the bubbles will cause air embolism. If the plasma knife is used, it may be difficult to eliminate the bubbles. "Tell Gong Chen that you can design an endoscope for intracardiac surgery when you have time to see how to remove the effects of red blindness." Yang Ping also has many ideas, but he is not an engineer after all, and some details need to be handled by engineers.

Jiahui also knows a lot about engineering technology: "Gong Chen said that he tried to find a way to eliminate the bubbles, but he didn't have enough time. Technically, it would take a long time, at least more than a year."

"There's no rush, just let him study it slowly, and we'll do animal experiments tomorrow. Then you can come over and set up the equipment." Yang Ping explained.

Jiahui put things in order: "Dr. Song has told me that I will be there on time."
