Chapter 1226: 948 Chapter Pig Cries in the Middle of the Night_2

The first batch of children numbered five, and they had already moved into the hospital to complete various examinations. Their parents had signed various informed consent forms. Clinical trials, whether drug-related or device-related, all have certain risks, and this is certain.

The medical expenses for all volunteers in clinical trials are free, and they can also receive a sum of experimental subsidy, so many parents of children from poor areas are willing to let their children participate in this clinical trial, seizing the opportunity for free treatment.

Song Zimo returned to the Operating Room of the Surgical Research Institute, where Little Five was performing spine surgery, implanting a growth plate inhibitor in an 8-year-old patient. The operation was fairly simple, safer and simpler than vertebroplasty.

Yang Ping returned to his office, where Doctor Li Min was looking for Song Zimo with a form to sign. But since Song Zimo was at the operating table, Yang Ping personally signed for him. Actually, these signatures were supposed to be signed by Department Director Yang Ping, but it was usually Song Zimo who took care of it.

Li Min was now rotating through various departments at Sanbo Hospital, undergoing training for all of the basic surgical procedures. There weren’t many opportunities to encounter these basic operations at the Surgical Research Institute, such as appendectomies, cholecystectomies, and so on, which are surgeries you would never see at the institute. Patients at the Surgical Research Institute were all difficult, complex, highly challenging diseases and surgeries. With the foundation laid by Yang Ping, Li Min had mastered extremely proficient anatomical knowledge, basic surgical skills, and theoretical knowledge of various operations, which allowed him to progress very quickly in practice.

Yang Ping had him rotate through each department and had informed the heads of those departments to take special care of Li Min, as no one could disregard the face of Yang Ping. It might be useful at some point in the future, at least when encountering difficulties during surgery, one would not be so nervous, and in critical moments, they could call on Yang Ping to save the operation.

As the saying goes, "You can’t expect not to get your feet wet if you always walk by the river." In the medical field, no one dares to boast. Until the day of retirement arrives, anything can happen.

Yang Ping checked his WeChat, and Luo Jin had sent him many messages. This guy was now playing football in Europe, and during a routine checkup, a brain tumor was detected. Ever since he was young, Luo Jin had faced one hardship after another, battling nasopharyngeal carcinoma, car accidents, and severe damage to his knee joint, yet each time, he managed to pull through with his resilience, now thriving on the green fields of Europe.

But this time, the situation might not be so hopeful. Yang Ping looked at the image he sent, another tumor in the brainstem, and in an even more difficult location than Karen’s, more dangerous and severe due to its widespread diffusion.

Medicine is not omnipotent, and doctors are not gods. All medicines and surgeries are bounded by objective limits.

The surgery for Luo Jin will be challenging. Without it, he could only wait for death, but undergoing surgery will inevitably lead to disability, leaving behind severe motor function impairments, because the tumor’s invasion into the central system is already quite evident. No matter what method is used, surgery or various ion knives, it is impossible to avoid disability. He could survive, but he would not be able to return to the field again.

[Surgery is recommended, the goal is to survive, but motor functions will be severely impaired, and you will not be able to play football again.]

Yang Ping sent his opinion.

After a period of silence, a message came through from the other end.

[Thank you, I understand.]

[Prepare mentally for retirement, arrange your schedule, and have the surgery as soon as possible. Of course, nothing is absolute, maybe a miracle will happen, and you can return to the field again.]

Yang Ping encouraged and comforted Luo Jin.

[What’s the probability of impairment in motor functions after the surgery?]

[Ninety-nine percent!]

As a science, medicine is objective, and Yang Ping must remain objective.

[I’ll think about it, thank you, Professor Yang.]

Luo Jin is currently in his golden years as a sports athlete, performing brilliantly while playing football in Europe. Such an event occurring now must be extremely distressing, but Luo Jin, having endured many setbacks, has a resilience stronger than most.

Yang Ping only needed to give him an objective forecast, and Luo Jin would make the best decision for himself.

Luo Jin has always been the honorary spokesperson for the Sports Medicine Center at Sanbo Hospital, and he recently delivered numerous photos to the Publicity Department of the hospital for use in promotional materials. The Sports Medicine Center was already developing rapidly, and with Luo Jin’s support, its influence had become even more extensive.

After work in the afternoon, Yang Ping called together the doctors from his department to discuss Luo Jin’s illness, and incidentally asked Song Zimo about Tang Fei. Song Zimo said it was just a transient dizziness and there should be no problem. But for safety’s sake, he would arrange for Tang Fei to undergo some examinations.

After discussing Luo Jin’s condition, everyone was sighing deeply. Luo Jin had faced one trouble after another since childhood, and it was uncertain if he would be able to pull through this time. Actually, if he decided to give up football, with the success rate of Professor Yang’s surgery, Luo Jin could definitely survive.

After the meeting adjourned, everyone in the department had fast food, because after dinner they’d all go to the Animal Experiment building for simulation surgeries.

The demand for pigs in the Animal Experiment building was increasing, and the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University, relying on this big customer, was thriving. In order to take good care of this large client, they had set up an office specifically at Sanbo Hospital and expanded the team’s staffing.

Doing just these things was still not enough; they also had to be able to create models of various diseases for animals, such as for the Commando surgery, where they needed to be capable of manufacturing models of simulated diseases. This represented the highest technical difficulty, and the Animal Department of Nandu Medical University kept up with the direction of market development, actively improving and innovating ways to manufacture animal models.
