"The operation was successful. Mr. Arminos will wake up after the anesthesia wears off. Mrs. Arminos, you can rest assured."
The operating room door was opened, and Jason Layton walked out and said to a blond lady guarding outside.
This blond lady is the wife of the heart transplant patient.
Fernando Arminos is the director of the behemoth Boeing Company, and his family is very wealthy. Because of this, he can afford the cost of treatment at the Mayo Clinic.
After hearing what Layton said, his wife immediately closed her eyes, hugged Jason Layton very excitedly, and said, "Oh! My God, thank God, thank Dr. Layton!"
"I don't know how I would survive if I lost him."
Looking at her look that didn't seem to be fake, if he hadn't known that Mrs. Arminos was only in her thirties this year, and that she was holding her own hand very dishonestly, Jason Layton would have almost died. Believed.
Of course, he has encountered this kind of thing too many times.
He can probably guess a lot about what the other person is thinking - in short, he definitely doesn't like him.
As for the other party touching his body randomly, as a man in his forties, one of the top doctors in the United States, and a very attractive man, this is not surprising.
However, he often stayed away from the families of his patients.
So, he quickly pushed Mrs. Arminos away. In her resentful expression, Jason Layton raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said: "Mrs. Arminos, what happens next?" , just contact Nurse Jenny, and she will explain to you what you need to pay attention to.”
"It's time for me to get off work."
Then, he nodded to Nurse Jenny next to him, turned and left.
He returned to his office, took off his white coat, and breathed out again.
For Jason Layton, today's heart transplant operation was the smoothest one he had ever performed.
As he initially told his assistant, the patient's heart was fine, and that was exactly what he meant.
However, these premises are all based on the assumption that the abdominal aortic aneurysm will not have any impact.
Abdominal aortic aneurysms tend to occur in older men. It is not surprising that they appeared in Fernando Arminos, an old man in his sixties. According to the rich man’s past physical examinations at their clinic, this aneurysm The tumor must have grown recently.
This kind of thing that suddenly grows before surgery and eventually affects the surgery during the surgery often happens, and it is also one of the culprits of many medical accidents.
For example, at the beginning of a heart operation, a thrombus was suddenly discovered in the coronary artery, which led to the failure of the operation and the death of the patient.
More than ten, and the thing that Layton is encountering now is almost the same.
But, "Fortunately, fortunately..."
Jason Layton's heart was filled with sighs. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of the special issue of "The Lancet" on his desk.
He picked up the special issue and turned to the page he had seen earlier.
"Indicators for judging abdominal aortic aneurysm..."
It was precisely when he saw this page before entering the operating room that he made such a judgment before the operation.
Any operation is a battle, and any battle requires mastering the enemy's information. Once there is an information gap, it will be fatal for the doctor, even if it results in the patient's life.
However, sometimes those who serve the rich may end up killing themselves.
"This is a treasure."
He recited silently.
Suddenly, at this moment, the office door was opened again, and his colleague Hoggs walked in.
"Is your operation completed?"
Hogs asked after seeing Jason Layton already inside.
"Yes." Layton nodded.
Hoggs smiled and then took off his white coat.
"It should go pretty smoothly."
"There were some surprises before the operation, but the operation went smoothly."
"Accident?"
Hogs was stunned. As surgeons, they don't like accidents, especially when facing difficult surgeries.
Jason Leighton handed the special issue of "The Lancet" to Hoggs: "Look at this page."
Hoggs took it and opened it: "Um... abdominal aortic aneurysm?"
"I met."
Hogs was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "Wang Defa? Abdominal aortic aneurysm during heart transplant surgery? This is not..."
They are both cardiac surgeons, and Hoggs is also a surgeon who can perform heart transplant surgeries, so of course he knows this is a taboo.
Jason Layton smiled and nuzzled towards the special issue: "Do you understand?"
Hogs: "Wait! You mean, you judged this before the surgery?"
Jason Layton smiled and nodded.
"That's it..." Hoggs shook his head in amazement, otherwise he would have any details. Then he opened his desk drawer, took out a few newspapers from it, and handed it to Jason Layton, "You come and see."
Jason Layton took over these newspapers, and they all had sections talking about Li Mu's paper.
Most of these sections expressed doubts about the effectiveness of Li Mu's paper.
"Medical masterpiece or medical cult?" 》
"A revolution in diagnostics, or a joke?" 》
…
Although The Lancet paid great attention to this paper, there are still many people who are doubtful about it.
"Perhaps you can use your surgery to rectify the name of this paper."
Being able to play such a key role in a heart transplant operation is enough to attract huge attention in the medical community.
As top doctors, since they have witnessed the effect of this paper, they have the obligation and necessity to promote this method to the entire medical community.
After thinking for a moment, Jason Layton nodded and said, "You are right."
This paper helped him such a big favor and allowed his operation to proceed smoothly. Even if it was just to repay Li Mu's help, he should help publicize it.
…
For a top doctor like Jason Leighton, he had many channels to publicize this matter, and he used the most high-profile method - he found a reporter from the New York Times and explained his story directly on the news The experience during that surgery.
Immediately, his strong support once again caused a stir in the global medical community.
The Mayo Clinic, heart transplant surgery, and Li Mu's thesis, these keywords combined together, of course, brought a huge shock.
Although Li Mu's paper brought some shock at the beginning, there was no practical application case after all. The application of Jason Leighton, the world's top doctor, directly brought a gold-rich application case.
As a result, hospitals and doctors all over the world began to take Li Mu's paper seriously.
For example, Huaguo Union Hospital.
…
Shangjing, Union Medical College Hospital, in the conference room.
"I think it is necessary for us to open a pilot window for Li Mu's paper, called the 'blood physical examination' project. The project includes measurements of blood pressure, blood viscosity, blood flow rate, etc., to verify various aspects proposed in his paper. conclusion."
"We have enough patients, and the results of our pilot will have a very significant impact on the entire medical community."
Tao Zhengming, President of Union Hospital, said to all the hospital leaders in the conference room.
Zhang Chun, director of the laboratory department, raised his own question: "This will increase the burden on our laboratory department. It will put pressure on the hands and instruments. In this case, it is likely to affect our treatment of ordinary patients." inspection speed.”
Tao Zhengming waved his hand and said: "If there are not enough people, we will recruit more. If there are not enough instruments..."
He smiled: "Didn't we purchase a batch of instruments some time ago? Just in time, let's try it out with this batch of instruments first. It won't put any pressure on your laboratory department."
Zhang Chun was stunned for a moment, and then said in embarrassment: "Aren't these ruins already planned for us?"
"Of course these instruments still belong to you, I just want you to use them for another more meaningful thing."
Tao Zhengming said.
After hearing the dean's words, Zhang Chun felt relieved. If this was the case, it would also be a good thing for their laboratory department.
"Okay, that's basically the decision."
Tao Zhengming said.
"I hope you can understand that the diagnostic method proposed by Li Mu can help all hospitals around the world, but it can even help our hospitals in China. What we need is this fast and highly accurate diagnostic method. Let us respond to more patients faster than foreign hospitals."
Tao Zhengming's eyes were very serious.
And everyone present nodded solemnly.
As the number one hospital in China, is there a big difference between Union Hospital and Mayo Clinic?
In fact, the quality of doctors is not bad at all. The average quality of doctors at Union Hospital is even higher than that of Mayo Clinic.
Because one person at Union Hospital has to do the work of 24 people at the Mayo Clinic.
Therefore, in terms of medical experience, Union Hospital is better than any doctor at the Mayo Clinic.
The Mayo Clinic registration fee is 500 US dollars, and the Peking Union Medical College registration fee is 50 yuan. Even the most expensive specialist registration fee does not exceed a thousand yuan.
The reputation and the cheap registration fee mean that Xiehe has to face too many patients.
And precisely because of this, they need an efficient diagnostic method.
Therefore, Li Mu’s paper is full of significance to them.
"In addition, the most important thing is that the method proposed in Li Mu's paper, don't you think, is similar to the pulse diagnosis method of traditional Chinese medicine?"
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this, and then they all reacted.
Traditional Chinese medicine can determine a patient's illness by diagnosing the pulse. Isn't it very similar to Li Mu's paper, which only requires a blood test to diagnose related illnesses?
After all, pulse diagnosis is to examine various conditions of the arteries and then make judgments based on them. Li Mu's method is more in-depth, but the principle is very the same.
Tao Zhengming then sighed with emotion: "So, the method proposed by Li Mu can be regarded as a model of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Although our Union Medical College has always used Western medicine methods, as a Chinese hospital, we must also carry forward Li Mu's method. A trick!"
