Chapter 1227: Chapter 948 Midnight Pig Cries_3

Using animal models for surgical training was actually the most effective method, but it just costs money. Dean Xia was willing to spend the money, so at Sanbo Hospital, practicing surgeries on pigs had become the norm.

The Animal Experiment building was originally only for the use of doctors from the Surgical Research Institute, but now another floor had been allocated for the use of surgeons from the entire Sanbo Hospital.

Such investment was not just about a few pigs, associated measures were the major expense: things like daily management and maintenance of the building, supervision of pig breeding, and various specialized equipment used for surgical training, all requiring significant financial commitment.

But Dean Xia was a generous person, willing to invest in order to enhance everyone’s surgical skills; this amount of investment was nothing to him.

Dean Xia even decided to establish a ward and an ICU for pigs in this building, allowing for convenient observation of the pigs’ post-surgical condition, rather than just completing the surgery and being done with it.

After learning the Commando surgery from Yang Ping, Director He of the Thoracic Surgery Department was eager to try it out. Sometimes, the general environment has a large impact on people; Director He, with a group of doctors, was busy practicing Commando surgeries on pigs.

In the past, some departments were not very active, but with the development of the Sports Medicine Center, the General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery departments followed suit, and most of the hospital departments, except for a few old sticklers, had decided to join the tide of departmental development in this competitive environment.

The Gamma Knife department, initially a fringe department on the brink of being cut, had been turned into a bustling hub by Duan Xiaoming, who polished his skills under Yang Ping’s mentorship. Now, Duan Xiaoming was not only busy with departmental work but also frequented other locations, even using his technical expertise as a shareholder in several Gamma Knife centers, which were mostly on the verge of closing. With Duan Xiaoming’s intervention, they immediately started making profits.

Duan Bald had one move: treating uterine fibroids. The saying "one trick to rule them all" was a living example in him.

There used to be many complications in treating uterine fibroids with the Gamma Knife, but now under Director Duan’s hands, these complications were virtually nonexistent. He had mastered the essence of the technique, his surgerical outcomes were good, and complications were rare, earning him the well-deserved reputation as the "Friend of Gynecology."

Yang Ping and Song Zimo had walked several rounds in the Animal Experiment building and Yang himself hadn’t realized at first just how significant this laboratory, designed for simulating surgeries, was in driving the entire hospital to pursue technical passion.

Yang saw the directors of the Organ Transplant Center, Director Liu and Director Li, sweating profusely as they selected pigs to reduce the number housed in the laboratory; now staff had to book pigs in advance. Otherwise, with so many pigs housed there, the entire building would become a real pig farm, where no odor-elimination system could cope during hot weather.

Both directors of the Organ Transplant Center were now aiming to tackle heart and lung transplants; they wanted to practice on pigs first. Though many hospitals had developed liver and kidney transplants, very few had introduced heart and lung transplants. It seemed, the two directors were also beginning to make their move.

The Neurosurgery department was also advancing towards brainstem tumors, and they too began sending people to the Surgical Research Institute to learn from time to time. It looked like the strategy of using key points to drive broader effects was beginning to show results.

The most active were the hospital’s many doctors in their thirties who had both substantial experience and a strong desire, as well as passion, for technological advancements. These individuals sometimes used their free time to practice surgeries on pigs until late at night.

If not for Dean Xia’s foresight in soundproofing the area, the hospital would be filled with the sounds of pigs squealing in the middle of the night, a frightening thought indeed.
