After examination, Zhou Yang found that his uncle's injuries were indeed serious. The most fatal ones were the penetrating trauma to the chest and the ruptured spleen.
Although the remaining injuries are serious, they are not fatal!
Fortunately, Zhong Zhennan had already performed operations on these two wounds. Even with the medical conditions of this era, the problem was not big.
The only difficult thing is the severe head injury!
After a serious brain injury, not only is it easy to suffer a concussion, but it is also more likely to cause blood stasis!
The consequences are vegetative state, amnesia, or even more serious brain death, which are all possible!
Judging from the current situation, there is probably blood congestion in my uncle's head.
In this case, the best way is to perform small bone window craniotomy to remove the hematoma and ventricular puncture and drainage to drain the congestion from the brain.
However, let’s not talk about whether anyone in this small county has undergone such an operation. Even if there is, my uncle’s current physical condition cannot allow him to undergo a second operation.
That's why Zhong Zhennan said that although his life was saved, it was not certain whether he would wake up!
Once a person cannot wake up, he or she is in a vegetative state or brain-dead. In fact, living is more miserable than being dead!
Therefore, after checking on his uncle's condition, Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel a little heavier.
Don't look at all of these uncles of yours who are stupid, big and rough. I was dissatisfied with him before.
But they just feel sorry for their sister. In fact, they have helped Zhou Yang's family a lot in recent years.
Especially the eldest brother Li Jianguo, although he is a bit reckless, he looks a bit like Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms and Li Kui in the Water Margin.
But his temperament is not bad. Instead, he is upright and loving. He is a person worth dating.
So Zhou Yang really doesn't want anything to happen to him!
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately left the ward and planned to chat with Zhong Zhennan!
There was no one in Zhong Zhennan's office. Zhou Yang immediately inquired with the nurse and then came to his dormitory.
At this time, Zhennan had just laid down and was preparing to take a rest.
This operation was so energy-consuming that even a person with good physical fitness like him was a little choked.
Hearing the knock on the door, Zhong Zhennan immediately got up and opened the door.
After seeing Zhou Yang, Zhong Zhennan sighed and said, "I knew your kid would come over!"
Zhou Yang immediately said straight to the point: "Uncle Zhong, what are the chances that my eldest brother will wake up?"
"As of now, it's at most 30%. If his personal will is strong enough, it won't exceed 40%!" Zhong Zhennan said truthfully.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang suddenly fell silent.
The probability is less than 50%, the problem is indeed difficult.
At this time, Zhong Zhennan continued: "If there is congestion in the brain, in addition to the risk of vegetative state or amnesia, we also need to consider the increase in intracranial pressure, which may cause more serious problems!"
"So while trying to find a way to remove the silt, we must first lower the intracranial blood pressure. But I have already told the ward to prescribe mannitol for treatment!"
Zhou Yang said in a deep voice: "Can the congestion in the skull be removed?"
"I can, but I can't!" Zhong Zhennan said.
"Then who can do it?"
"As far as I know, there are not many experts who are confident in performing craniotomy and dredging. Most of them are concentrated in Shanghai, Yangcheng, Beijing and other places. If you really want to help your brother, you might as well contact Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang! "Zhong Zhennan said.
Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is a good idea!"
"Then you should work as quickly as possible to remove intracranial congestion as soon as possible, the less harm will be done to the patient. As time goes by, even if the decontamination is successful, it will inevitably not damage the nerves!"
"Then can my eldest brother's body be used for a second surgery?"
"His physical fitness is pretty good, so a few days of rest won't be a big problem!" Zhong Zhennan said.
"Okay, I'll contact Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang right now!"
"Well, if you need my help then just ask!"
"Okay! Thank you, Uncle Zhong!"
"Haha, you are more polite now!"
"Okay, Uncle Zhong, I won't disturb your rest, let's go first!"
...
After coming out of Zhong Zhennan's office, Zhou Yang immediately rode his bicycle back to the village.
When Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang left the day before yesterday, they left him their contact information, which was their office phone number.
Zhou Yang didn't pay much attention at the time, so he casually tucked the piece of paper with the phone number in a notebook and didn't bother to memorize the phone numbers.
Now I am anxious to use it, but I can only rush back in a hurry.
Back home, Li Youwei was washing clothes.
Seeing Zhou Yang riding a bicycle back, she was somewhat surprised and immediately asked: "Whose bicycle is it?"
"From Uncle Genwang's family!"
Then Zhou Yang quickly entered the room, found the notebook, took out the piece of paper inside, and put it in his pocket.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something.
Immediately moved the cabinet and took out the tin box where the money was hidden at home.
Zhou Yang took out all the hundreds of dollars from the box that he had not had time to save last time, and then went out.
Li Youwei saw that he looked a little hurried. He was looking for something and getting money, so she hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
Zhou Yang knew that she must not know about her elder brother's injury, so he immediately said: "My elder brother was injured while working at the reservoir. He was very serious!"
"Brother, is he...is he okay?" Li Youwei asked in a panic.
"Life saved!"
Then Zhou Yang said again: "You go to the old house immediately and talk to dad. He said that my eldest brother is out of danger, but the situation is still not optimistic, but I will try my best to find someone to treat him!"
“Okay, okay, okay!!”
At this moment, Zhou Yang rushed to the county town on his bicycle again.
It was already 5:30 in the afternoon when he arrived at the county seat. Worried that Mr. Liu and the others would get off work, Zhou Yang ignored the rest and rushed into the county bureau on his bicycle.
After Lu Youming saw Zhou Yang, he was about to chat with him and told him that there was news from Huaxian County.
But Zhou Yang was in such a hurry now that he didn't care to talk nonsense with him, so he pulled him towards the telecommunications room.
Later, Zhou Yang asked the comrades in the county bureau's telecommunications room to help dial the number in Beijing!
Seeing that it was almost six o'clock, Zhou Yang was worried whether Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang had already gotten off work. If so, they would have to wait until tomorrow.
Fortunately, God still favors good people. After the phone rang a few times, it was picked up.
"Hey, Clinical Medicine Department of Jingcheng Medical College, who are you looking for?"
Zhou Yang immediately took the microphone and said: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Mr. Liu Jimin and Mr. Liu!"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Zhou Yang. I am a friend of Mr. Liu. If you have any urgent matters, please contact him. Comrade, please let me know!" Zhou Yang said.
"Okay, wait a moment!"
A few minutes later, Liu Jimin's slightly tired voice came from the other side of the phone: "Comrade Xiao Zhou, I'm Liu Jimin!"
"Mr. Liu, I am Zhou Yang!"
"Hahaha, it's really you. You called me just two days after I left. Is there something wrong?"
"Mr. Liu, I'm here to ask you for help this time. Human life is at stake!"
"Oh, what's the matter, tell me?"
"This is what happened..."
At that time, Zhou Yang told the story about his uncle who was severely injured after saving someone, and asked Liu Jimin if he could contact an expert who could do this kind of surgery.
And Zhou Yang also said that if the other party is willing to help, he will not only reimburse all travel expenses, but also be willing to pay 500 yuan for hard work.
Although Zhou Yang didn't know whether there were "flying knives" in this era, nor did he know the specific cost of "flying knives", he thought five hundred yuan should be enough.
Liu Jimin didn't reply immediately, but asked him to wait, and then hung up the phone!
About 15 minutes later, the phone call came over.
Liu Jimin then told Zhou Yang that he had already found someone, a surgical expert from their Beijing Medical College named Chen.
Moreover, Liu Jimin also said that Professor Chen will leave for Saibei Province tomorrow morning and will arrive in the afternoon, allowing Zhou Yang to receive the good people.
After hearing this, Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief!
