In the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken. The word "fast" here actually does not mean that the movements are so fast that people can't see clearly, but the speed of immediate reaction.
For example, Yu Feng's ultimate reaction speed is now twice as high as Zhu Yong's. This is no longer a crushing game. If they really want to fight, it would be just kidding.
"Director Zhao, can this technology be applied to normal humans?"
Zhu Yong asked Zhao Sheng very excitedly.
If the previous tendon repair technology was only of great use to athletes, then the current nerve transplantation technology can not only allow paralyzed people to regain their mobility, but can even become stronger than before the injury. This is Even Zhu Yong didn't dare to think about the role that certain special fields could play.
"Normal human body? This is a regenerative technology developed for paralyzed patients. Normal human bodies probably don't need this technology."
Zhao Sheng said nonchalantly.
The original intention of him and Jindong in developing this technology was to help paralyzed patients stand up again.
As for its application on normal human bodies, there is no need at all. After all, replacing nerves is not a minor operation and the risks are very high.
This kind of risk does not exist for paralyzed patients. After all, they are already paralyzed. Even if the transplant is unsuccessful, they will continue to remain paralyzed.
But what about a normal person?
"In fact, bio-enhancement technology has been developed in laboratories, but at most it can only be developed to enhance the human body's endurance, tolerance to extreme environments, senses, and overall physical fitness."
“For example, we can develop the potential of the brain and improve the perception of soldiers. By realizing efficient integration of the human brain and the computer, that is, by directly transmitting brain signals to the computer, we can reduce reliance on external input devices such as keyboards and improve the efficiency of human-machine integration. "
Jin Dong heard Zhu Yong's words and continued.
"Yes, yes, that's it, human body enhancement."
Zhu Yong nodded and said excitedly.
"Minister Zhu, we are just a medical institution. I'm afraid there is no way to get involved in these things."
Zhao Sheng looked at Zhu Yong who looked longingly and couldn't help but remind him.
He and Jindong develop these technologies to benefit more patients, not to research super soldiers or anything like that.
If he really gets involved in those projects, I'm afraid he will lose his personal freedom soon.
This is not good at all. The golden finger he awakened is to cure diseases and save people, not to load the template of the motherland.
"Yes, we are a medical institution, so I really thought too much."
Hearing Zhao Sheng's reminder, Zhu Yong controlled his excitement. There were some things that even if he was a member of the BL Group's quasi-high-level leadership, he could not touch them casually.
"Dr. Zhao, I have a paralyzed comrade who became paraplegic due to an injury in a fire in his early twenties. Can he also come here for treatment?"
At this time, Yu Feng, who had recovered from the joy of his own recovery, asked Zhao Sheng impatiently.
"High paraplegia?"
"You can come and take a look first."
Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.
High paraplegia refers to transverse lesions occurring at higher levels of the spinal cord. In medicine, paraplegia caused by spinal cord transverse lesions above the second thoracic vertebra is generally called high paraplegia, and paraplegia caused by spinal cord injuries below the third thoracic vertebra is called lower paraplegia.
High-level paraplegia usually results in quadriplegia, and the prognosis is often poor. In other aspects, it is the same as lower-limb paraplegia. The spinal vertebrae or appendages are fractured, and the displaced vertebral body or bone fragments protruding into the spinal canal may compress the spinal cord or cauda equina, causing it to varying degrees. In the case of injury, below the transverse plane of the injured spinal cord, the sensorimotor and reflexes of the limbs completely disappear.
Therefore, the specific situation of Yu Feng's comrade-in-arms can only be known after seeing him.
"Okay, okay, thank you Dr. Zhao."
Yu Feng nodded repeatedly.
"Dr. Zhao, when can I start working again?"
After a pause, Yu Feng asked Zhao Sheng nervously.
"If it's just general firefighting work, it can be done at any time now, but if it's like entering a fire scene, it will take at least half a year to a year to recover."
Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.
"Well, Doctor Zhao, I have been waiting for this day for too long."
Yu Feng said very excitedly.
Next, Yu Feng conducted a detailed test, and the test results were quite satisfactory.
After the test, Zhao Sheng returned to the office. To be honest, he was very satisfied with this treatment. After all, a high-level paraplegic patient was able to regain his normal mobility and was even better than before the injury. This is Very meaningful thing.
Sitting on the sofa in the office, Zhao Sheng took out his mobile phone and casually scrolled through it while drinking tea. Suddenly, Zhao Sheng came across an article.
"The inner monologue of a paraplegic patient who has been bedridden for 15 years"
The article begins with five bloody characters.
【I want euthanasia! 】
[This idea came to me when I was a paraplegic at the age of 19. In the following ten years, no matter how optimistic I was on the surface, my idea of euthanasia never changed.]
Seeing these two sentences, Zhao Sheng felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart. As a normal person with sound limbs, it is indeed difficult to understand the mood of a high-level paraplegic patient for more than ten years.
Perhaps most people are unable to find comfort when facing these high paraplegic patients.
[I can’t let go of this beautiful world, my parents who love me, and my little friends, so I want to survive. 】
[But to survive, you have to pay a price. This price is not just quadriplegia and incontinence, but in the next ten years, even if you endure unbearable pain, your situation will not be better. No improvement at all, not even the right to choose death! 】
[In the past ten years, every moment, I have to face the deepest despair. For quadriplegic patients with spinal cord injuries, we have to face urinary tract infections, bedsores, and nerve pain that penetrates the bone marrow. People are miserable, but when you have gone through all the suffering, you can't help but ask yourself: What is the meaning of my persistence? Will it be possible for me to stand up in the future? Can I wait for a miracle to happen? 】
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng felt his nose was sore, and he couldn't bear to read any more.
However, Zhao Sheng continued to read.
[I was reading Shi Tiesheng's book recently. He said in an article: "Death is something that you don't have to rush for. Death is a festival that will inevitably come." When I saw this sentence, I suddenly felt that I Being hit by some powerful force, I seemed to hear the sound of the prison in my soul being shattered by my spine. 】
[Death is inevitable, why not live casually! 】
After reading this article, Zhao Sheng had an indescribable feeling in his heart. This may be a sense of mission. Relieving these people from their illnesses is what drives him to develop technology and keep moving forward.
