Chapter 980: The Most Rudimentary Operation
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Go?” Zou Yu had already been pushed to the corner by Su Yun’s ambiguous but irrefutable words. She was a little stunned and subconsciously asked.
Since she was young, no one had ever talked to her like this.
But this young man in front of her, who made her heart race with excitement just by looking at him, gave her endless surprise. This person was not a shrew cursing the streets, but was quoting the cla.s.sics and using knowledge to suppress her from above.
As for those people like Liu Wentai, who were not written in official history, Zou Yu had no doubt that if she dared to question him, there would definitely be more counter-attacks waiting for her.
Young, handsome, knowledgeable, and intelligent… Such people were flawless, right?
Zou Yu’s heart had long melted. However, her father had just almost died and was rescued. She could not care less about her l.u.s.tful heart. She had to get down to business first.
Zou Jiahua did not say anything. He quietly watched Su Yun leave.
As for the men standing outside with suitcases filled with cash, Zou Jiahua did not even have the chance to let them in.
Elder Wu seemed to be asleep. From the beginning to the end, he only saw Su Yun’s sharp tongue, which made the Zou father and daughter speechless.
This boy is really not bad. Elder Wu almost laughed out loud in his heart.
After a long time, Zou Jiahua asked, “Elder Wu, do you know the background of this Su Sheng?”
“A few years ago, when he was still a postgraduate student, he was known as the rising star of the Imperial Capital’s Cardiosurgery Department.” Elder Wu said, “Autologous stem cells that were 3D-printed in the heart, and transplanted it. The animal experimental stage has also been completed by him. In the eyes of us old people, this kind of technology is like a fantasy.”
As Elder Wu said this, he was also a little emotional.
There were only dozens of successful heart transplants in the country. A few decades ago, after the second affiliated hospital of Dibei Medical University completed the first heart transplant surgery in the country, he also cheered for it.
However, in less than 30 years, he was able to 3D-print hearts with autologous stem cells. To the greatest extent, he avoided the immune rejection reaction after the surgery.
The advancement of technology was really eye-opening.
Zou Jiahua’s brows twitched slightly.
“This child didn’t continue the first phase of the clinic because of something. I actually hope that he can pick it up and continue to do it. After all, I’m old. If I can use my own cells to print the exact same heart and transplant it, I estimate that I can live for another ten years.”
Elder Wu only used an indifferent tone to describe his own situation.
But this sentence seemed to remind Zou Jiahua in secret.
Whether it was power or money, the more one had, the more afraid one was of death. Then, a doctor who mastered the core technology and could extend a person’s life was naturally a rare commodity.
Compared to this kind of technology that could almost be said to be life-prolonging, the magic power of money had fallen to an unbelievable degree.
If the third-stage clinic could pa.s.s, one could imagine how many people would come looking for Su Yun with their checkbooks. At that time, Zou Jiahua’s family property could only be considered middle-cla.s.s. If he wanted to have surgery, he would have to wait at least a year.
Moreover, at that time, he would probably not be able to find anyone.
Zou Jiahua pondered for a long time and slowly asked, “Why would such a powerful young man be willing to be an a.s.sistant?”
“Because his boss is stronger.” Elder Wu’s gaze moved slightly. He thought that this Mr. Zou was really confused. The logic of this kind of thing was very clear. He was afraid that his heart had already been thrown into chaos.
…
The surgery went very smoothly. Mu Tao had acc.u.mulated a lot of experience, and he naturally mastered the new TIPS surgery method.
During the surgery, according to the way the stent entered, Zheng Ren explained to Mu Tao how to remove the second stage stent almost without any damage according to the local anatomy.
Because Mu Tao’s skills had already reached a high level, he only needed to give a few words of advice.
This was a teaching method that Zheng Ren came up with after experiencing the incident with Zhu Liangchen in the Imperial Capital.
It seemed to be very suitable for Mu Tao. After all, among the ‘students’ in the country, Mu Tao’s skill level could be counted on one’s fingers.
The last two were live broadcasts of the surgery. Hu Yanhui had already prepared the live broadcast machine and was waiting for the surgery to begin.
Rudolf Wagner was already eager to give it a try.
After finis.h.i.+ng the fourth surgery, the young doctor sent the patient away. Mu Tao did not take off his lead coat. Instead, he slowly walked to the operating room and smiled as he discussed with Rudolf Wagner.
“Lil Fugui, get off the stage for the surgery. Shall I set up a table for Boss Zheng?”
“Haha?” The professor stared at him.
Looking at that expression, the next sentence seemed to be ‘What are you looking at?!’
“I just had some epiphany and wanted to deepen it,” Mu Tao explained gently.
“Lil Fugui, let Mu Tao do it. Take a break today and teach the details of the award-winning doc.u.ments to Old Mu’s people,” Zheng Ren said as he looked at the patient’s radiographic films in the operating theater.
The pProfessor glared at Mu Tao and did not continue arguing.
Mu Tao felt a little fortunate. He smiled gratefully and went to scrub his hands for disinfection.
When he performed the surgery, it was the same. When he saw Zheng Ren perform the surgery, especially when he saw Zheng Ren’s surgery from the perspective of an a.s.sistant, it was the same.
Mu Tao held the guide wire. His mind was filled with thoughts of what he should do as a surgeon.
In Mu Tao’s opinion, Boss Zheng’s surgery was the most ‘primitive’ type of surgery.
From the beginning to the end, it was a basic operation. There were no flashy techniques, no super-difficult techniques, and no refres.h.i.+ng procedures.
Everything was peaceful and ordinary, simple and low-key.
It was like a junior doctor who had just learned how to operate. He did not know any high-level techniques at all. He could only use the lowest-level techniques to complete the simplest surgery.
However, these were the most basic techniques, and together, they disintegrated the most difficult surgery in the Department of Interventional Surgery.
Simple puncture, blind selection, angiography, and the built-in puncture kit. Once they reached the position, they did not hesitate and directly punctured the patient.
Then, the two stents went in, and the surgery was over.
It was so crude that Mu Tao felt that there was nothing interesting about it. It was simple, crude, and direct.
This was the first time Mu Tao had seen Zheng Ren perform TIPS surgery from the perspective of an a.s.sistant. In the end, he realized that Zheng Ren’s surgery was just as he had thought — it was really too unsophisticated.
However, Mu Tao did not mock Zheng Ren. The excitement that he had felt after he had mastered the TIPS surgery immediately turned into confusion.
This was because Mu Tao knew that lifting weights as if they were light was a milestone. Lifting weights as if they were light was another stage of surgery.
He had just started, and he had yet to even lift weights as if they were light. On the other hand, Boss Zheng had already reduced complexity to simplicity, and was returning to simplicity.
‘The gap was really big,’ Mu Tao thought as he sighed in his heart.
However, watching Zheng Ren personally perform the surgery had one benefit, which was that Mu Tao’s understanding of certain details had deepened.
He had only received a hemostatic forceps just now, but this was not because the surgery was done flawlessly. On the contrary, compared to Zheng Ren’s surgery, Mu Tao found that there were more areas that could be improved.
From the looks of it, the hemostatic forceps did not hit his radial process because the mistakes were relatively small. Although it was not perfect, it had almost no effect on the surgery.
Moreover, Boss Zheng was taking care of his own emotions and was too lazy to correct them one by one.
Thinking of this, Mu Tao’s heart was a little confused.
