I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 241 The first organ transplant at Iris Clinic

In front of the Iris Clinic, the cork oak tree is still lush and green, but there are not many fruits left on the branches that were originally fruitful.

A squirrel was squatting leisurely in a tree nest, holding the furry end of an acorn in its two paws, grinding its teeth with the smooth and hard other end, "crunching" and chewing the acorn. Suddenly, I heard a car parked in the tree. He couldn't help but immediately dodge, hiding among the hidden branches and leaves, and peeking downwards.

Murphy got off the car, raised his head in surprise, and glanced at the tree. The little pine tree trembled with fright and almost dropped the acorn. Fortunately, it was agile and immediately reached out to grab it. Then it disappeared along the back of the trunk. escape.

Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie, carrying large and small bags, had just arrived at the door of the clinic, and Elena happily greeted them inside.

Ava, on the other hand, drove to the airport to pick them up.

"You are back!"

Soon, others came out as well.Rachel's clinic has patients, so it's still busy.

Zhou Qiao and the others distributed gifts to everyone.

A souvenir for everyone.

Cathy took little Danielle to play in the children's play area on the first floor of the clinic. When little Danielle saw this, she immediately gave up the toys in her hands and left the Trojan horse she was riding on. Gao Gao stretched out his little hand and asked for a gift.

Zhou Qiao picked her up, kissed her, and gave her a cute little deer named Sophie, which had been prepared for her a long time ago.

This little Sophie the deer is a toy that almost every baby in France has. Even the first gift that Britain's Prince George received was this.

What Zhou Qiao gave to little Danielle was a deer chew, which would make a pleasant musical sound when squeezed by hand.

Once little Danielle got it, she couldn't put it down.

"Cathy, this is foie gras for you." Zhou Qiao put down little Danielle, took out a jar of beautifully packaged foie gras, and handed it to Cathy.

This kind of foie gras contains whole pieces of foie gras, not chopped. The taste is considered the pinnacle of French cuisine.

Zhou Qiao also sent several cans to his family in China, but he just didn’t know if they would like it.Because the taste of Chinese people is different from that of foreigners, it may be that Lao Gan Ma tastes more delicious.

However, Cathy likes foie gras very much, but she is a little embarrassed. How can she be so embarrassed to take your gifts every time?But it was hard to reject the kindness, so I had to thank him and accept it.

Rachel, Vivica, Park Soo-joo, Kim Hee-jin, Park Yoona, Ariel and the black girls from the laundry also had gifts.

It’s not expensive, it’s just a thought.Although many things are also sold in the United States.

The gifts given to Yoona were chocolates, pens and an Eiffel Tower hairpin.It's a pity that Yoona hasn't gone on winter vacation yet, so she can only ask her mother to take it back to her.

Be happy when buying gifts, and even happier when giving out gifts.

Due to the long journey, Murphy and Stephanie don't have to go to work today.

Murphy went back to visit his grandparents.Her mother works in a large factory in Silicon Valley, which is a bit far away, so she probably won't be home today.

Stephanie rode a bicycle and couldn't wait to go to the mental hospital.

She also bought some health products and cosmeceuticals for her mother.I'm going to give it to my mom to try.In addition, I haven’t provided psychological counseling to her mother for many days, and I don’t know if her condition has worsened.

To her surprise, her mother's condition did not get worse, but she was in better spirits than before.

In the afternoon, Elena and Ava took Zhou Qiao to the new house. However, the new house was still being renovated. They were looking for a few Chinese masters recommended by Zhang Jianjun, acquaintances in Chinatown.

Those people were already working hard. When they heard that they were renovating Dr. Zhou's house, they became even more diligent.

Zhou Qiao went over to take a look at the renovation progress and the current semi-finished product effect, and was quite satisfied.

As for the design plan, it was designed by Elena and Ava themselves, and it is absolutely beautiful.

That night, the nephrite was warm and fragrant, enjoying the tenderness of the twin girls.

Since Christmas and New Year are approaching, there are not many doctors coming for interviews, but there are many patients.

After all, diseases don’t shy away from the holidays.

Murphy and Stephanie took a day off and returned to intense and busy work again.When I have some free time, I still have to research cases and write papers.

Articles written by the two of them will automatically have Zhou Qiao's name added to the end, regardless of whether Zhou Qiao participates in it or not.The two girls were secretly competing to see who could post more articles for Zhou Qiao.

With the resources of Academician Domitri, he can publish to journals in the Top 100, and almost no manuscripts are rejected. Every submission is accurate, and every submission is accurate.

If Zhou Qiao's former teachers and classmates knew about it, they would be shocked.

Not to mention Zhou Qiao’s former teacher, even Murphy’s former teacher, Professor Eric Parsant, became a little envious of this student when he found out.

A critically ill patient was transported from the East African base. Chen Zhining personally escorted him there. Luo Ya also called to ask Zhou Qiao to worry more.

Zhou Qiao also had the impression that this patient was a black woman named Yasmine, but she was not from East Africa, but was born in the United States.

Like many other local black girls, she never knew who her father was since she was a child. Her mother raised her alone and endured hardships, and later joined a gang.

Yasmin later became one of Loya's confidants, participated in the entire construction of the East African base, and became an excellent logistics officer there.

Last time, the X virus was raging and she was unfortunately infected. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao later developed a special medicine that brought her back from the brink of death.

However, sequelae are inevitable.

Since then, her kidneys have been in bad condition, with various major and minor problems.

Then, about a month ago, while she was personally supervising the transfer of supplies, a box fell from the truck and hit her on the waist.

By chance, he injured his kidney, causing renal hematoma.

Generally speaking, trauma does not easily lead to renal failure. Unfortunately, her renal sequelae have not recovered. The cortex is very thin and the hematoma compresses the kidneys, which leads to acute renal failure.

While undergoing dialysis at the East African base, Chen Zhining and others tried their best, but could not figure it out. After asking Luo Ya for instructions, they decided to transfer Yasmin to the United States where medical conditions are better.

And Zhou Qiao is naturally the first choice.

Yasmin needs a kidney transplant, and it may take a long time to wait for a matching kidney source. Poor parents in the world. Seeing her daughter's life passing by in pain, Yasmin's mother was heartbroken. Without any hesitation, she made a decisive decision. Cut off a kidney and give it to your daughter.

Some black people in the United States value family ties, such as Yasmin's mother, a black woman in her prime who is just in her early forties.

Who would want to donate a kidney to a daughter who is not her biological child at such a young age?
But Yasmine's father is a complete bastard.It was sweet to fall in love with Yasmine's mother back then, but unfortunately, she ran away immediately after sowing the seeds.

Yasmin's mother was left behind, with a big belly and struggling to survive.This is a bit like the animal world, with male and female cats. After the male cat sows the seeds, he will run away without hesitation and will not care about the female cat and her offspring.

Of course, it’s not surprising that there are so many people in the world and there are all kinds of people. The black father and son in "The Pursuit of Happiness" can be said to be one of a kind.

Since the wards of Iris Clinic have been cancelled, the second floor has been arranged into clinics and conference rooms. Park Soo-joo and Kim Hee-jin also have a small office on the second floor, where they can rest when they have nothing to do.

So Yasmine was placed at UCSF Medical Center.

A major surgery like kidney transplant must be done at the University of California Medical Center.The supporting facilities of community hospitals are still slightly worse.

As for the medical expenses, Luo Ya said that they would be fully reimbursed by the East African base.

This is also her usual style of doing things. A confidant like Yasmin who has followed her through life and death and worked hard with great achievements must enjoy this treatment.

Not all of it is to win people's hearts, but it comes from sincerity.

Of course, Luo Ya's Majesty has shown both kindness and power, including thunder, rain, and dew.

Organ transplantation requires matching.Even if they are biological mothers and daughters, they may not be suitable, so they don’t donate just because they want to.

Maybe it was God's blessing. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao arranged for adequate preoperative examination, evaluation, and strict matching. Everyone found that the matching was ideal!
It is also worth mentioning that Yasmin’s mother is very strong, with both kidneys very healthy and full of energy.

So, the surgery was scheduled.

The day before Christmas, that is, the day of Christmas Eve, on the morning of December 12, at 24 a.m., Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Stephanie, Elena, and Ava all came to the University of California Medical Center .

Yasmin and her mother had already entered the anesthesia room, and the anesthesiologist began preparing for anesthesia.

Chen Zhining also took this opportunity to return to the United States for vacation.He was concerned about Yasmin's condition and wanted to witness Zhou Qiao's kidney transplant surgery, so he came to watch.

Since Chen Zhining wanted to learn, Zhou Qiao had a good relationship with him, so he naturally would not refuse, so he asked him to follow him into the operating room as an assistant, or an observer.

Due to the holidays, UC Medical Center is deserted than usual, with fewer staff on schedule.

In fact, many people have already packed their bags and started a leisurely vacation.Because Christmas and New Year are not far apart, plus annual leave, some people can take a month off.

But the hospital is a special place after all, so it is still arranged to have someone on duty. Zhou Qiao's patients really couldn't wait and had to rush to do it before Christmas.

The day before Christmas is a memorable day for Yasmin and her mother, a day they will never forget.

The mother and son have always been dependent on each other, but since Yasmin went to East Africa three years ago, the mother and son have spent less time together and more time apart.

The two of them were lying side by side on the operating table. Their inner emotions were very complicated, a mixture of apprehension and expectation. Their uneasiness was filled with hope.

Especially Yasmine’s mother, she recalled that 23 years ago, on Christmas Eve, she was alone and gave birth to a baby in a black clinic, then she was raised with shit and urine, and she looked at her. Being naughty and making trouble, watching her grow up safely day by day.

This black mother burst into tears.

"My dear daughter, you must hold on, mom is here to save you!" Yasmin's mother murmured. As the anesthetic took effect, darkness fell in front of her eyes and she fell into a deep sleep.

In the operating room, Chen Zhining was shocked because such an important operation was not performed by Zhou Qiao himself, but was handed over to a tall, thin and cold girl named Murphy.

Murphy, only in front of Zhou Qiao, will show his tenderness and passion.

Stephanie was also slightly jealous, but to be fair, if she really wanted to be the surgeon, she would not be confident enough.She stole a glance at Murphy and saw this cold girl with a calm and composed face, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart.

Anesthesia was completed, multi-party verification was completed, and the surgery began, still using the advanced Prometheus-3000 surgical robot.

This kind of surgical robot is not available in the East African base.It is mainly an East African base, not a serious medical base.The medical base there is just a small branch of the East Africa base, playing a supporting role and the investment is not very large.There are also no plans to purchase surgical robots.

However, even so, the medical conditions at the East African base are among the best in East Africa.

This was the first time for Chen Zhining to watch this kind of surgical robot perform surgery, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Murphy's nimble fingers began to control it smoothly, giving people an extremely silky feeling as soon as he made a move.

Slow, but silky smooth.More difficult.

She is also the best in subject three.

Ava started singing.This is an old project of Zhou Qiao's team. If we don't play some songs during the operation, we always feel that something is missing.

The University of California Medical Center specially equipped them with high-end audio equipment, which has much better sound quality than community hospitals.

The first song is "Maybe" by Cheng Xiang. The clear female voice makes people's ears pregnant.

"Maybe the sunshine from the south shines on the wind from the north, maybe time is blown away and disappears without a trace... Maybe there are people on the wall of Xi'an who have vowed not to break up. Maybe they have to go to Dali to truly love..."

This is a typical example of a singer who is not popular. Not to mention knowing what she looks like, many people have never even heard of this name.

However, this song "Maybe" is definitely one of the most popular songs on the Internet and is highly sung.

Kidney transplant surgery is naturally quite difficult. The traditional method of this kind of surgery is naturally open kidney transplantation. However, the traditional method has problems such as large trauma, large amount of bleeding, and long postoperative recovery time.

Advanced surgical robot surgery is the future development trend, especially in the United States when there is a shortage of doctors.

With three heads and five arms, tremor filtering, and a twenty-fold field of view, it can perform fine suturing of blood vessels and ureters from any angle, and is very stable and reliable.

This is also the first organ transplant operation performed by Iris Clinic, and it is also the first kidney transplant operation assisted by a surgical robot. If this operation is successful, I can write a paper to summarize it.And with Academician Domitri’s resources, submitting to top journals is not a problem.

The operation process is actually very simple. First, a kidney is removed from the mother's body and placed in sterile ice water for later use.

After routine lavage and trimming, the Prometheus-3000 surgical robot was controlled to make an incision of about 5cm on Yasmin's abdomen...

Stephanie, Elena and others assisted in inserting the single-hole port and instruments...

Murphy continued to control the surgical robot, freed the patient's right external iliac artery and vein, and then inserted the transplanted kidney through the single-hole Port...

Anastomize blood vessels and restore blood supply...

Everyone cheered when the patient's ureter showed obvious spraying of urine.
