The Godfather of Surgery

Four operations were completed before twelve o'clock, and each operation did not exceed an hour.

In order not to cause quadriceps muscle injury, tourniquets were not used in the four operations. Low-pressure anesthesia was used to control the blood pressure below 90/60mmHg, and a water pump was used to maintain the water pressure in the knee joint at 120mmHg.

In this way, even if there is no tourniquet, the surgical field can be bloodless.

The injury of the tourniquet to the four heads of the thigh can be ignored by ordinary people, but for professional athletes, it has a great impact and prolongs the recovery time.

The water pressure in the knee joint is maintained at 120mmHg. If the doctor is inexperienced, it is easy to cause edema in the tissue space, induce compartment syndrome, and lead to serious consequences.

When the operation was over, the instrument nurse Linna and the itinerant nurse Jenny breathed a sigh of relief.

The operation was too fast, and they were under enormous pressure, for fear of embarrassing scenes. Fortunately, with Robert's help, there was no scene where the operation was stuck due to the lag of the nurses' cooperation.

The easiest is Barrell, he only supports his legs, and every time he changes the position of the affected limb, Yang Ping operates with one hand, and he only needs to assist from the side.

The glass shield is raised and retracted to the ceiling, and Barrell braces the patient.

Robert assisted Yang Ping in taking off the surgical gown, and the anesthesiologist and nurse greeted Yang Ping one after another. The operation was awesome, and he was indeed Robert's mentor.

In the teaching room of the operating room, after seeing four arthroscopic surgeries, those doctors updated their understanding of multi-ligament reconstruction of the knee joint, and suddenly found that they, who had been ranked first for a long time, actually fell behind.

Whether it is a skilled surgical operation or a novel curved drilling drill, they are all seeing it for the first time. They envy Robert for having such a good teacher.

Art to enjoy!

Professor Jung concluded that the adjustment of the balance of the knee joint is like a tuner, who can adjust the best balance by feeling.

After lunch, Robert prepared to hold a question-and-answer session on the theme of multi-ligament reconstruction of the knee joint, allowing everyone to ask questions and interact with Yang Ping, so as to improve everyone's understanding of this type of surgery.

The next day, a small academic meeting will be arranged, and Yang Ping will be invited to give lectures. It is a rare opportunity. It is not easy for Yang Ping to come to the United States.

Professor Jung, the engineer of OrthoPediatricS, and many doctors have been refusing to leave, waiting for Robert to bring Dr. Yang to meet you.

Professor Jung couldn't wait, and decided to go to the locker room to find Robert, and wanted to exchange a few words with Yang Ping in advance.

The engineer quickly reported to the company, hoping that the company would buy the patent or obtain authorization for the curved drill.

Yang Ping had already applied for a Chinese patent and an international patent for the device he designed before sending it to Robert.

In this way, one's own technological achievements are legally protected. Otherwise, after encountering unscrupulous people or companies, after stealing the technological achievements, they will use it to make money, but they will slap the rake and sue the original creator for infringement.

In the face of interests, anything can happen, and Yang Ping does not expect to rely on the consciousness of others to protect the fruits of his labor.

Just in the US, Indiana-based spine surgeon Rick Sasso is fighting medical device giant Medtronic over patent royalties for the Vertex cervical spine system.

The lawsuit lasted for five years, all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, where the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled: Medtronic must pay $112 million in patent fees to Dr. Rick Sasso.

So for this kind of thing, Yang Ping, like surgery, doesn't want to have any luck.

The engineer keenly felt that this curved drill, this whole set of equipment, will become a necessary equipment for children's sports medicine, and it will also be applied in other surgeries. A complete equipment system can be built around it, occupying the field of children's sports medicine.

The company responded quickly, authorizing him to negotiate with Yang Ping about the purchase or authorization of device patents, and the company's negotiation team will set off as soon as possible.

Prof. Jung hopes to discuss with Yang Ping the issue of knee replacement. He is designing a new type of knee joint prosthesis. He encounters some difficulties and hopes to communicate with Yang Ping.

At the door of the locker room, Jung waved to Robert and whispered, Robert, come here.

Seeing his displeased face, Robert guessed what he was going to say, explained a few words to Yang Ping, asked Barrel to accompany Yang Ping, and Robert followed Jung over.

The two came to the small room next to the locker room. Professor Jung said with anger: Robert, you must explain clearly why you hid your tutor. Did you study in China last time?

You listen to me, Jung, you listen to me, okay—

You selfish fellow, Jung said angrily.

Don't get excited!

Robert ignored Jung's anger and lowered his voice.

If I hadn't seen Dr. Yang's surgery today, I would tell you that I want to learn from a young Chinese doctor, and you should also follow him as a teacher with me. Would you believe it? Would you believe it?

Jung was speechless for a moment, as if his explanation made sense. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes today, and moved forward in time, Robert asked himself to go to China with him to study with young Chinese doctors, and he would have laughed and refused.

Do you know why I keep quiet? Because you won't believe it at all, I know you best, you are a bunch of stubborn stones, full of arrogance and prejudice, I invited him to show the operation today, you have seen it with your own eyes. Admired, but a few months ago, you will definitely say, Robert, you are crazy, Robert, you need to see a psychiatrist, just before the surgery, I bet, Jung, you still see my jokes Psychology, no matter what proportion it occupies, there must be. Robert gritted his teeth and completely overwhelmed Jung's momentum.

Okay, I won't investigate this matter, is he good at joint replacement? Jung dared not look at Robert, changed the subject, and asked eagerly.

Robert nodded: trauma, spine, joint replacement, arthroscopic surgery, he is good at it. I have seen his joint replacement surgery, and I can be your mentor. If you can get his guidance, I guarantee that you will be better than the current one. The level is a bit higher, but the threshold for him to bring students is very high.

Can you make a referral? Jung asked.

Robert sneered: Don't even think about it, if you want to be his student, you have to find opportunities by yourself and strive for it yourself. It took me a long time to get such an opportunity. I was in Sanbo Hospital, and I just had the opportunity to take office. None, and it was with the help of a Chinese brother that he came to power with Dr. Yang.

You have to help create opportunities, Jung begged.

That's ok. We'll have lunch together later. For the evening dinner, I'll make your seat closer to him. As for whether he's interested in you or not, I don't care. Robert didn't want to cause trouble for Dr. Yang because of Jung. He despised himself.

How long will he stay in the US? Jung was confident that as long as Robert helped make the connection, things would be easy.

Five days, rest on the first day, surgery on the second day, lectures on the third day, visit my clinic on the fourth day, rounds in our department on the fifth day, and return to China on the sixth day. Robert pulled his fingers.

Then can you invite him to our department for ward rounds, please! Robert, you tripped me at that football game. The left tibia was fractured, and it still hurts. Jung asked how to deal with the Chinese, Completely clueless.

Stop doing this. It's a matter of studying at Harvard Medical School. I've never heard you say it hurts for 20 years.

That's because of our friendship, which I chose to avoid talking about.

I'll talk to him about it tomorrow, but I'm not sure if it will work. Robert stepped back.

thanks!

You're welcome, chat with him, don't talk about how powerful you are, and don't talk about how successful you are, these are worthless in front of him, just talk about the difficulties you are currently encountering, and let him resonate with him. He is most interested in It's a medical problem, and he thinks about it all day.

I can't be here for too long. Dr. Yang is still resting in the locker room. Robert immediately returned to the locker room, with Jung following behind.

Professor Jung of Knee Replacement Center! Robert recommended.

Yang Ping shook his hand: The famous designer of Depuy's latest generation of knee joint prostheses.

We are currently encountering a big problem, and I hope Dr. Yang can point it out. Jung said straight to the point.

Robert was almost stunned by Jung's bluntness, and asked him to find resonance, which was not the way he did it.

After coming out of the operation, the doctors who had been waiting for a long time also gathered around. Robert blocked everyone: Dr. Yang needs to rest at noon. See you in the hospital conference room at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There will be a question-and-answer session, and Dr. Yang will answer all your questions.

Everyone is willing to disperse like this. These people have a lot of questions in their hearts and want to ask Yang Ping.

When he was free, Yang Ping took out his mobile phone, and Johannesson sent a text message, he was going to fly to New York tomorrow.

Yang Ping told him not to come over, the doctors were very busy, and a phone call was enough.

Johanneson insisted on coming over, saying that he had already booked a flight ticket and could arrive at noon.

——

Mayo Clinic Neurosurgery, Johannesson Office, Rochester, MN.

Johanneson has always kept in touch with Yang Ping. The construction of his online community is progressing smoothly. The number of members has grown to twelve, but they are all doctors in his department or friends in the industry, and they are all neurosurgeons and spine surgeons.

He learned that Yang Ping had come to New York, USA, and was preparing to choose a time to visit Yang Ping in New York.

Sir, according to your instructions, the plane ticket to New York has been booked, tomorrow morning at 6:08. Miss Longoria is Johanneson's secretary, and she handles these daily affairs.

Thanks— Johanneson's phone rang, and he looked at it.

Collins' phone, a friend from Houston, has been in touch with himself a lot lately.

Longoria exited the office playfully and gently closed the door.

I sent you a document, Steven's routine medical report, you see, things are a little bad, I may ask you to come to Houston tomorrow to participate in the discussion. Collins' tone contained a hint of urgency.

No, tomorrow I have arranged to see an important friend, very important, I can't miss the appointment. Johannesson was very unhappy.

Please, look at the report first. This matter is also very important. We are waiting for you to discuss the next step. Your opinion is very important to us. Collins requested.

Okay, I'll contact you after reading it. Johanneson hung up the phone temporarily.

He turned on the computer and retrieved the information in the encrypted mailbox.

The electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, and the heart rate was slow, only 52 beats/min. Compared with the stable 70 beats/min before, it had dropped by 18 beats/min. However, except for the slow heart rate, no other problems were found on the electrocardiogram. no problem.

Yes, this is a bad phenomenon, but what does it portend?

As an experienced neurosurgeon, many differential diagnoses flashed through his mind.

With this clinical symptom inverse, the knowledge in the head has compiled a huge network.

Simple heart rate slowing, this has never happened before, this is the first time, is there some kind of impact on the heart muscle? Is there something wrong with the central nervous system?

Is there something wrong with the nuclei of the brainstem, or the neural pathways connected to it?

The sharpness of the top experts made Johanneson tremble.

Indeed, this is a big deal, and nothing is more important to a doctor than a person's health and life.

Even if the appointment is missed, Dr. Yang, who is also a doctor, will definitely understand.

It's very bad, I'll catch the earliest flight tomorrow, no, I'll take off today. Johanneson called Collins and said it concisely.

Longoria, help me see if I can book a ticket to Houston today, yes, it's an emergency, cancel the ticket to New York tomorrow. Johanneson called Longoria and urged her to do it immediately .

After the phone call, Johanneson's heart was pounding, wishing he had thought more.

He walked to the window and looked up at the sky outside.

Steven, this gentleman, God bless him, he is now 350 kilometers above the ground.

The first climax of the whole book should be unfolded slowly. This climax is not more than a hundred thousand words. I must strive to write it well. I am very grateful for your support all the way. For you, it must be well written!
