The Godfather of Surgery

These pigs need to be observed for many days after surgery. In order to obtain experimental data, they have to undergo various examinations such as cardiac color ultrasound, head magnetic resonance imaging, lung CT, and even angiography every day to see if there are any symptoms. Debris forms, leading to embolism of vital organs.

In order to monitor the state of the heart, a 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram is performed to dynamically observe the electrocardiogram activity and understand whether the surgery will interfere with the electrocardiogram.

Blood is drawn for various tests, such as coagulation function, etc. to see if blood clots have formed after the myocardium is removed. Blood clots may also cause embolism.

Professor Xin decided to stay for a few more days to observe the postoperative conditions of these pigs and then follow up on Teng Xinmei’s surgery.

He really wanted to learn this kind of surgery and then promote it. After doing it for so many years, he had eaten a lot of pineapples. He really didn’t expect that pineapple core cutting could be connected with myocardial hypertrophy surgery. Then using the principle of pineapple core cutting, he could design Come up with such a rotary cutter.

Yang Ping was very satisfied with this rotary scalpel. He also truly experienced the value of innovation. After becoming very proficient in the surgery, it no longer makes much sense to follow the traditional surgical techniques. Innovation is the only way out.

After waiting a little longer, if there are no problems with these pigs, Yang Ping will prepare to operate on Teng Xinmei. After the operation, she can be discharged and go home in a few days.

Director Xin has stayed at Sanbo Hospital. He stays in the General Surgery Department. As long as Yang Ping is free, he will definitely pester Yang Ping, asking many questions about myocardial rotation technology, and asking Yang Ping for a set of The equipment was taken back and the surgery was carried out.

New technologies were invented to be popularized and to benefit patients, so of course Yang Ping agreed. Anyway, there were several sets of trial-produced equipment at that time, and Yang Ping generously gave one to Director Xin.

In order to thoroughly understand the principle, Director Xin also bought a pineapple core cutting knife from the market near Sanbo Hospital, bought several pineapples, and tried it himself to see how the pineapple core was cut, and how this principle was transplanted. to myocardial rotation technique.

After trying it, Director Xin had to admire Yang Ping's imagination for being able to connect the two.

There are several electric rotary knives on Yang Ping's table, and he is thinking about how to update them next and how to achieve minimally invasive surgery inside the heart.

The biggest obstacle to minimally invasive internal cardiac surgery is surgical monitoring. Currently, surgery can only rely on esophageal color ultrasound for monitoring. However, there is a huge gap between color ultrasound and endoscopic surgery, and it is impossible to achieve the direct observation effect of endoscopic surgery.

Endoscopes can be used to perform surgeries in the gastrointestinal, tracheobronchial, abdominal, thoracic, joint, and urinary systems, but not in the heart. The heart is filled with red blood, and all that an endoscope sees inside is red. Currently in the world There are currently no endoscopes that can image blood. .

Yang Ping wondered if we could find a new way to do intracardiac surgery using infrared imaging endoscopes instead of ordinary endoscopes. Because the myocardium continues to beat and the blood continues to flow, the myocardium and blood, the myocardium and valves, and the various parts of the heart are affected. Myocardium, etc., all have obvious infrared differences, and this difference is the basis of imaging.

If an infrared endoscope is designed, the internal structure of the heart can be clearly seen even in the blood environment. In the future, this kind of surgery will not require the assistance of esophageal color ultrasound and can be performed directly under infrared endoscopy.

This set of infrared equipment can completely refer to the design of visible light endoscope systems, including near-infrared light source systems, lighting fiber optic systems, endoscope platform systems such as host screens, imaging fiber optic systems, and infrared camera lenses for imaging, etc.

Yang Ping drew his vision on a drawing and gave it to Ruixing's engineers to see if it could be realized.

As for the mechanical rotary knife, Yang Ping also wants to try whether it can be replaced by a low-temperature plasma knife. The biggest advantage of the low-temperature plasma knife is that it vaporizes the tissue during excision and does not cause bleeding. But the disadvantage is also obvious, it is easy to produce a large number of bubbles.

The production of these bubbles does not matter at all within the arthroscope and can be automatically resolved, and even if it is not resolved temporarily, it will not affect anything.

If the bubble is produced in the heart, it will never work. It will flow with the blood and eventually form an air embolism. If the gas embolus causes the heart's own coronary artery or intracranial artery embolism, it will soon be life-threatening.

To use a low-temperature plasma knife in the heart, the problem of air embolism must be solved. It is best to eliminate the bubbles from the source, or to allow the produced bubbles to dissolve in a short time without causing danger.

These two follow-up innovations cannot be achieved in a short time. Yang Ping's current research focus is still on the field of organ cloning, so he doesn't want to be too distracted now and doesn't go to the system space to conduct experiments on them, so he will leave it to Ruixing for the time being. , after you complete your main topic in the future, you can study it in your free time.

Teng Shaokui was worried about money all the time. He tried every means. Ever since he got through to Boss Li, he had been hoping that Boss Li would call back after he was done with his work.

Boss Li did not break his promise. As expected, he called Teng Shaokui back after finishing his work and rushed to Sanbo Hospital in the afternoon to treat Teng Shaokui to dinner.

When they arrived at Sanbo Hospital, Boss Li originally thought that Teng Shaokui was working in the hospital or on the construction site next to the hospital. When they met, he found out that Teng Shaokui's daughter was sick and hospitalized and needed surgery.

After hearing the news, Boss Li bought more than 200 yuan worth of fruit near the hospital and insisted on going to the hospital to visit Teng Shaokui's daughter. In the general surgical ward, he looked at the fourteen-year-old girl sitting there wearing a patient uniform. I also felt sorry for this girl. In the name of Teng Shaokui's relatives and friends, Boss Li also went to the doctor to briefly understand Xinmei's condition. The doctor said that surgery was necessary. If not treated in time, she might die suddenly at any time.

Originally, the old friend was very happy to meet, but seeing this situation, Boss Li also felt heavy because he also had patients at home and could sympathize with Teng Shaokui's mood at this time.

After watching Teng Xinmei, Boss Li insisted on treating her to a treat and wanted to have a drink with Teng Shaokui, so the two ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of beer at an ordinary food stall near the hospital to catch up on old times.

Speaking of which, Teng Shaokui was also someone who helped Boss Li. Boss Li always remembered this, otherwise he would not have come to Sanbo Hospital to meet today.

Dakui, why is your daughter so serious? She needs an operation, but this hospital is very powerful. Everyone in the provincial capital knows that there is a young professor there who is very good at surgery. Boss Li was also surprised.

Teng Shaokui sighed and said, Yes, I didn't go to the hospital before, so it wasted a lot of time, but experts say it's not too late to do the surgery now. If it's later, it may not work, and it's easy to die suddenly, or it may not be cured in the future.

Boss Li filled Teng Shaokui's glass with wine: It's so serious, it needs to be treated. You have to be responsible for the baby you gave birth to, and you can't delay others.

After having a drink with Boss Li, Teng Shaokui said: I think so too, so I have a headache during this period. The surgery costs 100,000 yuan. Where can I find so much money? There is no money. Now there is no surgery scheduled. At home, Relatives asked around, but they could only get 20,000 yuan. They had sold all the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep in the house, and they were not worth a lot of money. Even if they paid full price, they only had 10,000 yuan, and it was impossible to sell it so quickly. The mortgage loan for the house was not enough. Do you know that you can borrow some money from a credit union, but my wife will never agree to it. She doesn’t agree to sign, so the loan can’t be processed, oops.”

After hearing what Teng Shaokui said, Boss Li was silent for a moment and said, Let's have a drink first. We haven't seen each other in several years.

How are you now? Are you rich? Teng Shaokui asked tentatively.

Boss Li shook his head: You know, a few years ago, I was building a highway in Guizhou. I was unlucky. A worker suffered from heatstroke. He was sent to the hospital but was not rescued. He was compensated 200,000 yuan, but his family refused to let him go. In the end, he was If I can’t work there, I can only come to the provincial capital to find another job.”

You can tell by looking at my clothes what I am like now. Don't think about getting rich for now. I am doing moving here. I hired more than a dozen people to help others move. It is not easy to do business now and it is difficult to make money. Boss Li said.

In fact, he said that he is the boss, just a small boss who works on the construction site with a dozen people. If he is lucky, he can make some money. If he encounters a project where the settlement is not timely and the bill is delayed for a long time, it will be difficult for him to make money.

Looking at Boss Li's haggard face, blue coarse work clothes, and thick calluses on his hands, Teng Shaokui knew that Boss Li was also having a hard time.

He has always wanted to borrow money from Boss Li, but now he doesn't know how to ask for it.

The girl's illness can't be delayed, right? Boss Li asked.

Teng Shaokui shook his head: Experts say we can't delay it any longer. If we delay it any longer, we may die suddenly at any time. Hey, otherwise it wouldn't be so nerve-wracking.

Boss Li thought for a while, said nothing, and just drank and ate.

Teng Shaokui kept wanting to speak, but he swallowed his words several times, so the two just drank and ate food, reminiscing about the time they spent working together on construction sites.

Brother Dakui, you are a loyal person. Everyone else left that time, and you were the only one who stayed to work with me. If you hadn't stayed, we wouldn't have been able to pay and get the money, so the job would have been Completely ruined. Boss Li said with a burp, a little tipsy.

What's the point of being loyal? You brought me here. Give me a job and let me earn money. If you leave at that time and join them to fight against you and force you, I can't do it and I can't bear it in my conscience. Teng Shaokui felt depressed and drank a few more drinks this time.

Boss Li said: There are fewer people like you now. There are a few people who run around in the world who have a conscience and only recognize money and not people. If you don't mind it, please move with me in the future. In the provincial capital, there are other jobs. We can’t do anything but this kind of laborious work.”

Okay! That--Boss Li?

Teng Shaokui was afraid that he would not speak until the show ended, so he wanted to borrow money again.

Yeah, Dakui! Boss Li just responded.

Teng Shaokui swallowed his words again.

Boss Li looked at Teng Shaokui with half-squinted eyes: Dakui, just say what you want. I know what you mean even if you don't say it. We haven't seen you for a few years. Contact me now. You also know my situation. This I haven’t made any money in a few years, and I have spent all my hard-earned money in the past. My wife has uremia. As you know, she needs dialysis every three days. She is still waiting for a kidney transplant. I also have two children who are studying, so I am overwhelmed. You are angry, and you have thought that if you get divorced and marry another, your life may be easier, but you said that she helped you have two babies, and now that you have this disease, you don’t want her. I can’t do this, so, I still have to earn money honestly, and I have been in the provincial capital for more than a year. I recently bought a four-wheeled pickup truck from scratch. In the past, I always rented other people's pickup trucks, which was not cost-effective. Moving is inherently low-profit.

I know, big brother, it's okay. I just want to ask you if you have any work to do. I have no other meaning. Don't think too much about it. Teng Shaokui knew that borrowing money was out of the question, and he made it clear in his words. .

Boss Li squinted and said, Dakui, don't say it's okay. You are hesitant. You want to say it several times but don't. I don't know what you are thinking?

Teng Shaokui let out a long sigh: Old Li, I want to borrow money from you, but hearing your situation, I can't ask for it. Don't mind, I have no ability. In this situation, I always want to go everywhere. Come on, don't delay your daughter.

Boss Li took out his wallet, took out all the banknotes and put it on the table: There are two thousand here. What is left after today's salary has not been deposited. You can take it first. Although I, Li Tangsheng, don't have much ability, But I know how to write the word loyalty. I will remember whoever treats me well. Teng Shaokui, you are not desperate, and you will not go around in circles to borrow money from me whom you haven't seen for several years. I'm right, right? , where are you going to get 100,000 yuan? Mortgage on your house? Your wife can kill you with two kitchen knives. That wife of yours, I'm not talking about that--I won't talk about it anymore.

One hundred thousand yuan, where do you think you're going to get it?

How is it possible for you to say that you don't care about such a big girl and let her fend for herself?

You take these two thousand for now, and I'll try to find a way to help you get it together. If that doesn't work, I'll sell the new four-wheel truck I bought. I can probably sell it for tens of thousands of yuan. At worst, I'll rent someone else's car.

Teng Shaokui thought he was talking about drinking: Lao Li, you're too drunk. Let's not talk about it.

Boss Li said: Don't worry, I'm not drunk. Give me your card number. I have no other choice but to sell small freighters.

How about that?

Small freighters can save a life, so why not, brother Dakui, do you know? If you hadn't helped me convince those people to postpone the settlement, and continued working with me, and also gave me the wages you got, as an emergency, How could I finally wait for money? That money is also life-saving money. Maybe you don’t know that my wife was living in the hospital at that time, waiting for money to pay for medical expenses. You also saved me once back then. You didn’t want anything. As I said, just think of me as repaying your favor back then.

Old Li—— Teng Shaokui didn't know what to say.

Boss Li sighed and said, That's it for us people. We send away those who gave birth to us and raised those who gave birth to us. It seems that this life is about the same -

It's getting late. Your daughter is waiting for you. Wait for my news tomorrow. It's a serious talk, not a drunken talk.
