"Hello, I am very happy that more patients from our side can gain a complete life from this operation.,"
"I also hope I can do a good job, like my teacher Professor Lewis, I hope I can do a good job."
What Zhang Wenwen said was true.
Jiang Feng nodded and took off his mask, "I think this is a very meaningful thing, even though it seems crazy.
But compared to those things that humans say are obviously crazy, but are said to be very meaningful, this thing looks so beautiful. "
Zhang Wenwen didn't understand the meaning of this very philosophical statement. Anyway, it seemed that this compatriot accepted the fact that he was working in place of Professor Lewis, and in his opinion, this was a good thing.
This is enough!
The medical center is located in the Rama 9 area, in an office building attached to a large shopping mall.
The examination was jointly conducted by the chief surgeon and Dr. Brown, and Zhang Wenwen did not need to stay in the examination room.
One of the reasons is that Dr. Brown has not yet received confirmation from the surgeon. The surgeon is not yet fully aware that Professor Lewis is no longer in charge of the treatment team. The surgery is imminent, and Brown does not think there is a rush to introduce Zhang Wenwen to him.
Everything is still focused on ensuring the smooth operation and patient safety.
At 12:30 noon, Zhang Wenwen was called back to the treatment center by Dr. Brown's phone call.
The atmosphere in the office was a little tense. Dr. Brown was holding the coffee but couldn't take a sip.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenwen asked.
"All inspections are fine, just like the previous self-assessment. However, some problems were discovered during this on-site test."
"what is the problem?"
Seeing that Dr. Brown looked so nervous, Zhang Wenwen moved a chair and sat down, and took the initiative to pick up the examination report on the table and read it.
"Is there any physical disease that makes surgery inappropriate?"
"No, there are no problems with the blood test and physical examination."
Dr. Brown shook his head.
"What's the problem? You said his test results were different from the previous ones. What do you mean?"
Obviously, Dr. Brown seems to have never encountered a situation like Jiang Feng's.
"Electrical skin response test, you should know about the results of this test. This is a less advanced test, but during the examination of patient B, Professor Lewis still recommends retaining this traditional test.
Generally speaking, galvanic skin response is not under volitional control. Most people experience an increased galvanic skin response when they are touched, hear harsh noises, or experience significant emotional stimulation. When a needle is used to prick a part of a limb that patients feel does not belong to them, the galvanic skin response will be stronger than the reaction of the needle pricking a normal limb part, increasing by two to three times. b Researchers have always had a clear understanding of this. The explanation is that patients feel more threatened when the needle goes into the part of their leg they want to amputate. "
After Dr. Brown finished speaking, Zhang Wenwen shook his head and sighed: "This is really ironic. It is completely contrary to common sense."
"Yes." Dr. Brown continued: "When you try to slap parts of the limbs that patients think do not belong to them and normal limb parts, they report earlier that they feel the slaps on the limbs that they think do not belong to them. The patient's brain will process these tactile stimuli with greater priority."
"I understand, so this Tao Qian's situation is the opposite? He thinks that the parts of the limbs that do not belong to him are not enhanced during the stimulation of the skin's electrical response?"
"Indeed, that's why I'm troubled now because his MRI results are consistent with the b-cortex map."
Zhang Wenwen looked at the examination report again and frowned tightly. In this way, if it were the opposite, what other diseases would have similar symptoms.
At this time, Zhang Wenwen thought of Muchun. If this guy were here, the question and answer questions would become rush questions.
Haha, it's a pity that he is on the other side of the equator.
"Hemispace deficiencies may also have such problems." Zhang Wenwen said.
"Not much, that's true, so we ran tests to rule it out and he came out perfect."
"What else? By the way, there is something called body identity disorder in psychiatry. Maybe Jiang Feng has this kind of body identity disorder or body delusion. Patients with body delusion often deny their right legs or arms, or even deny them An entire limb on one side of the body is present.
"But" Zhang Wenwen touched his chin and said helplessly: "But this situation more often occurs in people who have lost part of their limbs due to some reasons, rather than Tao Qian's situation. "
"Yes, so now I am more inclined to think that he is not suitable for surgery. You have to know that once we amputate the leg and then find out what a ridiculous decision it is, the whole life is almost ruined." After Brown said this, He reluctantly took a sip of coffee.
"Is it true that no patient has regretted it before?" Zhang Wenwen really couldn't understand how a person could desperately want to take his legs away from his body. It is unacceptable in terms of appearance and practicality.
"Our chief surgeon is 49 years old this year. Mr. Tao's operation was originally his 30th B operation. I still remember him telling me during the first operation that my whole brain was confused. I simply suspected that I was a murderer. potential tendency, I should see a psychiatrist. Then for a whole month, he couldn't sleep. When he finally fell asleep, he would wake up again. He is a doctor and a poetry lover. He wrote about that time The poem was sent to my mailbox, and I was deeply impressed.
The old professor stepped on high heels,
The crystal chandelier fell to the ground,
Crunch, crunch, the heel breaks the glass
Crunch, crunch, crumble, crumble. "
"Is it a dream about amputation surgery?" Zhang Wenwen asked doubtfully.
"I think it's more like a dream about pain and brokenness. I'm not a master of dream interpretation. You should know Professor Lewis's wife."
"Professor Meier, a psychoanalyst. Yes, she is an expert in dream interpretation." Zhang Wenwen replied.
"Yes, Professor Meyer told me that my idea may be correct, it is about pain and broken dreams. On Friday of that week, after school, Professor Lewis took a plane to Thailand to meet with the doctor, We had dinner together, and then Professor Lewis stayed here for a full week. He wanted to help the doctor improve his sleep, because it is difficult for us to find such a collaborator as reliable as him.
Zhang, you should understand that there are many doctors who want to make money from this kind of surgery, but a reliable, excellent, and high-moral collaborator is important to Professor Lewis and me, and more importantly to Patient B. What an important thing. "11
