15 days!
JON was notified early in the morning that he had an emergency operation and suffered combined head and neck injuries. His condition was very serious.
The surgeon was Liu Muqiao, and JON and Song Baibai were both on stage.
This surgery is a test for the strongest combination in the world.
JON is the first assistant, Song Baibai is the second assistant, and Professor He and the others have to perform cross-fertilization of neurological and orthopedic treatments.
The operation lasted a day, starting at 7 o'clock in the morning and lasting until 11 o'clock in the evening.
It's not perfect. A considerable part of the tissue is irreversibly damaged, so after surgery, the patient can only recover some functions.
Part of the brain function has been lost, and only part of the spinal cord function can be restored. In the future, the patient's quality of life will be very problematic, and self-care is limited to eating, drinking, and defecating, which can be completed with the help of others.
p>
There is nothing we can do about it. Liu Maqiao and the others have tried their best.
Although in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of life is actually meaningless, death is clean, and they may even imagine that death is a kind of relief.
However, Liu Muqiao and the others have seen many clinical cases. No matter how poor the quality of life is, patients are not willing to die.
It is better to live than to die. This sentence can be applied to most patients.
This patient probably would have cherished this half-life.
To be honest, it is not easy to come into this world. Even if you live a terrible life, as long as you don't suffer from a disease such as depression, few people are willing to die.
Liu Muqiao and the others completed this operation very seriously. Unfortunately, no matter how serious they were, the patient was just like this, half-life. It is estimated that he would not be a problem if he lived for another 30 years.
When encountering this kind of surgery, Liu Miqiao's mood is usually not high. He will be depressed for a while, and will not get excited until the next surgery is completed beautifully.
He walked out of the operating room glumly, and his family members gathered around him asking questions. They hoped for a miracle.
"I'm sorry, the surgery can only do this. From now on, the patient can barely stand up and walk a few steps with help. Most of the time, he can only sit in a wheelchair. The function of his hands is still good. He can eat, type and play on his mobile phone."<
/p>
Liu Muqiao briefly introduced the future status.
"Oh, thank you, thank you."
The expectations of the family members are not that high yet. The pre-operative conversation was conducted by Song Baibai, so the expectations of the family members are relatively low.
Doctors will be conservative in their conversations to prevent patients and family members from having too high expectations and ultimately being dissatisfied with the results.
Besides, it is difficult for doctors to estimate the postoperative situation before surgery. Especially for this kind of surgery, which involves nerve anastomosis, there may be a big difference between the expectations and the results, so the conversation should be as pessimistic as possible.
In fact, even now, it is difficult for Song Baibai to judge the prognosis of his condition. JON can only do it reluctantly, but Liu Muqiao can.
Liu Muqiao anastomoses the nerves and can almost identify the specific nerves that control them. JON can also basically identify this point.
Nerves travel in the spinal cord in a regular pattern. The motor nerves and sensory nerves are in front and behind. They are distributed in each bundle according to rules. Depending on which section of the spinal cord it is, you can clearly distinguish the nerves.
Dominant parts.
As the surgeon, he should know which of these nerves are intact and which cannot be restored.
Liu Muqiao has sorted out almost every nerve bundle, so his judgment on the prognosis is very accurate.
"Yes, it is slightly better than expected. However, you must be mentally prepared. The patient requires long-term care, which is financially, mentally, and stressful for the family members."
After Liu Muqiao finished speaking, he left.
He has been hungry for a long time.
When we came to the canteen, the chef said: "The food will be served in 5 minutes."
The chef has long been notified that Liu Miqiao is on the operating table, and he has to prepare dinner for Liu Miqiao.
"No rush, just 10 minutes. JON, Song Baibai and others are still behind." Liu Maqiao said while taking the tea from the waiter.
Liu Muqiao's special canteen has a very standardized set of things. This is what Sun Tao ordered. Liu Muqiao is a big boss, and the quality of life cannot be too bad.
He learned about the lives of domestic business tycoons and found that Liu Miqiao's life was too simple, so he sent someone to design a set of standards to improve Liu Miqiao's quality of life.
Liu Muqiao didn't care too much. As long as there were surgeries and patients to see him, he felt fulfilled and comfortable. As for other things, he didn't care too much.
However, he doesn't object to it. He thinks that this special canteen only provides him and his friends with three or five meals a day.
The dishes are the freshest and most exquisite, the meat is the best part, the water is imported from deep well springs, the chef is a master, and the waiters are stewardess-level young women and handsome men.
What Liu Muqiao didn't know was that all his waiters had bachelor's degrees.
Song Baibai came in.
Behind him are Mitri anesthesiologists, instrument technicians, nurses, etc.
"Where's JON?"
Liu Muqiao didn't see JON. Logically speaking, he was the first assistant. He would not have anything to do with taking care of the operating table in the future. He should have been here long ago.
"He asked for leave. He said that Western food was prepared at home," the traveling nurse said.
"This guy has been sneaky lately. There's no one else at home, so who can help him prepare Western food?" Song Baibai muttered a few words.
Liu Muqiao felt a little nervous and muttered, "It's not like he didn't know that bread was prepared for him here."
"He won't go back and work overtime to practice skills, right? The rabbits have suffered recently, and he brings two rabbits back every day." Yu Wei said.
Yu Wei, a spinal surgeon, is JON's apprentice. Although he is an apprentice, his personal relationship is not deep, it is just a working relationship. Maybe the culture of this foreigner is different from that of the Chinese. Yu Wei himself said that it is difficult to establish a deep relationship with his master JON.
The relationship between master and disciple.
In fact, it’s not surprising at all. JON has been obsessed with head transplantation recently. Apart from the surgery, he goes home to do experiments. His mind is usually filled with toads and rabbits, so he doesn’t care about you, Yu Wei.
He even forgot that Yu Wei was his apprentice. Where did this feeling come from?
Liu Muqiao was a little worried. JON was indeed a little weird recently. First, he was tired. Why was he so tired? Is it because he had to work hard to practice his skills?
This explanation is a bit hasty. It is true that he will go crazy practicing his skills, but he has reached a very powerful level, and he should stop and rest for a while. Is he going to surpass me, Liu Miqiao?
Everything requires motivation.
This is hard to explain.
Could this guy really be doing a transplant?
Liu Muqiao made no noise and prepared to conduct an on-the-spot investigation.
In front of so many people today, he stopped talking.
"Eat, the chef made something good for us today. Let's have an extra bowl of rice."
While Liu Muqiao was talking, his chopsticks had already been put into the bowl, and a piece of crystal-clear braised pork tremblingly entered Liu Muqiao's mouth.
