Yang Ping slept in the hotel until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, it was already past nine in the morning.
Li Zehui did not disturb him. Yang Ping had a buffet breakfast at the hotel before calling Li Zehui.
Li Zehui went to the hotel to take Yang Ping to the hospital. The results of the baby's preoperative reexamination had come out, and various biochemical indicators were very bad.
"Can I have surgery?"
Li Zehui asked cautiously.
Yang Ping read the examination results three times before nodding: "The surgery will be normal tomorrow."
From a conventional perspective, the baby's current physiological state is not suitable for surgery, but if it is not operated, it will not be able to achieve a better state. This is an endless cycle of contradictions.
The only way to break the cycle of death—risky surgery.
Yang Ping personally performed another cardiac color ultrasound and cardiac catheterization on Xiaojia.
Then repeat the physical examination multiple times, carefully examining each time to dynamically grasp the changes in the baby's condition.
After the examination, Yang Ping would smile at the baby's father in the corner as a greeting. The Yemeni man would also smile at Yang Ping, his smile a bit shy and embarrassing.
In the doctor's office, Yang Ping once again pulled up the images, watched them carefully, and took the trouble to explain the details of the operation to Li Zehui, because he would be the first assistant.
Although Li Zehui is the world's top cardiac surgeon, he is not Song Zimo. Song Zimo was trained by Yang Ping, and he can understand every detail.
The general process of this operation is to open the chest, cut off the connection between the heart and the body, take it out from the chest, and completely separate from the body.
Then, on a sterile table, the tumor is removed from the isolated heart, the deformity is corrected, and finally the heart is transplanted back into the chest cavity.
After the heart is taken out of the chest, the heart's ischemia tolerance time is 4 to 6 hours, which means that everything must be completed within this time.
If difficulties are encountered along the way and the operation is stuck, it is like taking out a car engine. It cannot be restored after being dismantled, and the consequences can be imagined.
Li Zehui is not sure whether Yang Ping can complete it at this time. It is too difficult.
In this series of operations, no step can be wrong or slow. Even so, it is really difficult to complete this series of operations in such a short period of time.
Li Zehui felt that he had tried his best. Yang Ping was the best surgeon Li Zehui considered. If the operation failed, he would have no regrets.

Odor Reddy, a cardiac surgeon at North Shore Hospital in Australia, is a well-known doctor in the industry.
He is a good friend of Dodge, and of course, he is also a contracted doctor of this hospital in Saudi Arabia. He can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions every year for only ten days or so.
Melvin Mason was his royal perfusionist. After receiving a call from Melvin Mason, he caught the earliest flight and flew to Saudi Arabia, where he wanted to fight side by side with Dodge.
When he rushed to Dodge's office after a long journey, Dodge was looking sad.
"What happened?"
Odoretti asked anxiously. He had never seen the proud Dodger so depressed.
Seeing this old friend, Dodge immediately gave Odoredi a hug: "You came too soon. Things are going to change here. The Chinese want to dominate everything here. If they succeed, maybe the Saudis will not continue to follow us in the future."
Instead of making an appointment, we signed a contract with the Chinese."
Dodge is Dodge. He always gives two reasons to win over his friends to do things. One is a high-sounding reason - such as maintaining professional honor or order, and the other is a tacit reason - interests.
Moreover, Dodge is good at exaggerating and sensationalizing the consequences of things, and then this serious consequence must be closely related to the interests of the other party.
Melvin Mason added fuel to the fire: "I have said it in detail on the phone. You see, this surgery will not only leave Dodge, but also leave me alone. It doesn't matter if you leave me alone. I am just a perfusionist, but leave Dodge alone."
, it cannot be justified in any case. If Dodge is not qualified for the surgery on the Yemeni baby, are the young Chinese qualified?"
"Where's Brin? Why didn't I see him?" O'Doredi felt that Brin should be present at this time.
"That guy Brin has rebelled. He said he had an inflamed throat. He refused to help anyone and remained neutral. In fact, as far as I know, he boarded Li Zehui's yacht and ate mutton with them." Melvin Masson incited.
Atmosphere is a great asset.
"Can you take a look?"
Dodge pushed the tablet to Odorelli: "This Yemeni baby is a case you are very familiar with. Li Ze will invite a Chinese to be the surgeon. The funny thing is that this doctor is actually an orthopedic surgeon."
"This is information about a Chinese doctor, Yang Ping. Even his name is so rustic and ugly. He is an orthopedic surgeon, really an orthopedic surgeon. All the papers that can be found are about orthopedics. There is no paper in the field of cardiac surgery.
Such a person could actually be invited by Li Zehui to perform this rare and difficult heart surgery. His educational resume never showed that he had any education and training experience in cardiac surgery, even for one year. If he came to perform this surgery
, what is your status? Where is the professional order? This is tantamount to telling the Saudis that Americans and Australians are powerless, and Chinese orthopedic surgeons are required to perform this operation?"
Melvin Mason handed Odorelli a thick piece of information about Yang Ping. He spent a long time searching and sorting it out.
Odorelli frowned and flipped through the information. Although this doctor named Yang Ping had several articles in the world's top magazines with very high scores, those were orthopedic papers.
If these papers were about cardiac surgery, everything would be reasonable, but this is an orthopedic paper. It is really the biggest joke of the year for an orthopedic surgeon to perform heart surgery.
Lines are separated like mountains. In the medical industry, especially surgery, different professions are separated not by ordinary mountains, but by Mount Everest.
"Absurd! This is a blasphemy against the profession, we must stop it!"
Odorelli cursed, this is indeed a bad thing.
Even if it wasn't that bad, he would be so angry that he would fully support Dodge to maintain their status in the world of academia.
The benefits of being at the top of this academic field are so wonderful that it is impossible for the Chinese to get a share of the pie.
How could such a rare case, an unprecedented case, allow a Chinese to perform the surgery? Regardless of success or failure, they believe that the Chinese only have the role of observing and learning, and then it is his turn to perform the surgery.
Dodge and Odorelli, they are superior and control huge resources. They enjoy this superior status and benefits. Now it is no longer a matter of success or failure of the operation, but no matter what, this operation allows young Chinese people to
Being the chief surgeon is a challenge to those at the top of the academic chain.
"They have no loopholes in law and ethics because Li Zehui is willing to endorse him and the Saudi Ministry of Health has issued a temporary surgical license. We can't seem to find a point to counterattack." Melvin Masson said helplessly.
Li Ze will have absolute autonomy over his patients, and no one can interfere unless he violates the law or violates ethics.
"If there is no loophole, we will create a loophole. Anyway, we can't let them succeed." Dodge said domineeringly.
Anyway, he can perform this operation, but if others do it, they are overestimating their ability.
What he did was a mistake, and that's what he should have done. It was a charge towards the pinnacle of his profession and a brave attempt to solve a medical problem. If Yang Ping did it, it would be contempt for life and lack of reverence for medicine.
"This is a naked challenge and contempt. We must fight back!" Odorelli was very determined.
It's simply humiliating and ignores their existence.
With the arrival of Odorelli, an American and two Australians formed an iron triangle to prevent the Chinese from performing the surgery.
Dodge was determined to prevent Yang Ping from performing the surgery. This crude idea went beyond the scope of academic conflict, but regarded Yang Ping's arrival as a challenge to himself.
In his logic, this kind of surgery should be performed by the world's top Dodger. An unknown Chinese who wants to perform this kind of surgery is not qualified. If he wants to explore unknown areas, it is not Yang Ping's turn.
Especially when Li Zehui refused to let him touch the operation, he felt even more resentful.
"I have written a letter and sent it to the academic committee of the Cleveland Medical Center. They will respond soon. This Chinese doctor is not qualified to perform this type of surgery. If he persists in his own way, let him pay the price." p>
Dodge said harshly.
Odorelli said this was the right thing to do.
As for whether they have the right to interfere with Yang Ping, they don't care.
"Gentlemen, I have an immature idea." Perfusionist Melvin Mason smiled mysteriously.
"Please tell me!" Odorelli encouraged him, this guy always has a lot of ideas.
"Why should we bother so much before the operation? Wouldn't it be better to put these tasks into the postoperative period? Once the operation fails, an unqualified orthopedic surgeon performs a difficult heart operation, and then the patient dies on the operating table. You
Don’t you think this topic is very hot? Why don’t the Cleveland Academic Committee just sit back and do nothing? Li Zehui is one of your people? Shouldn’t he check the educational background of the people he recommends?” The perfusionist said his plan.
Dodge and Odorelli were stunned. It turned out that this guy was the most ruthless.
"Do you think that orthopedic surgeon can complete the operation?" the perfusionist sneered disdainfully.
Dodge shook his head: "How is it possible? I don't believe there is magic in the world. I don't have experience with five thousand heart surgeries. Facing this kind of case, my mind will go blank and my hands will tremble involuntarily. Five thousand cases, this young man?"
Just dream."
"You can't even dream of it, right? Haha!" the perfusionist became excited.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Odorelli asked uncertainly, this is a bit vicious and goes against the bottom line.
If it is prevented before surgery, it can be considered as a sign of respect for life and respect for the profession.
But knowing that they would fail, not warning him before the operation, watching something happen to him, and then condemning him after the operation is really despicable.
Dodge said firmly: "Of course we have to do it!"
At this time, he became angry with shame and lost his mind. The anger accumulated during this period was completely released.
Just like an NBA superstar, you are playing hard and performing normally. Suddenly the coach tells you, come down and let this kid come in. That kid is a rookie who has never played before.
What's more, it wasn't the coach who called him off.
Dodge regarded Li Zehui's behavior as humiliating.
Odorelli hesitated: "Okay, I will always stand with you."
He felt that things were a bit excessive, but so what, he and Dodge were in the same boat.
