Chapter 1228: Chapter 949: Cruel Diagnostic thods Chapter 1228: Chapter 949: Cruel Diagnostic thods The bustling animal experint building had nurtured a group of young people with excellent surgical skills, including training doctor Li Min, who benefited greatly. He practiced all the fundantal surgeries on experintal pigs, which allowed him to perform real surgeries much faster.
The idea of transforming the entire Sanbo Hospital’s surgical standards using a “pig farm” was sothing neither Yang Ping nor Dean Xia had anticipated.
Dean Xia started to reminisce about the farm at Nandu Affiliated Hospital No. 1 from the past, wishing there was a similar farm in the suburbs for Sanbo Hospital. If they could raise these pigs on a farm and build a hospital for them there, all the doctors at Sanbo Hospital could freely practice surgeries on the pigs.
Creating an animal laboratory within the hospital premises ant that no matter how well the soundproofing and air filtration were handled, the scale had to be controlled cautiously. A hospital is a hospital, and it must not turn into a pig farm.
Now, tis are different, land is incredibly valuable, and securing a farm is virtually fantasy. The real estate prices around the hospital are climbing every month, showing how unrealistic owning a plot of land is.
The hospital’s affiliation change was already on the agenda, being upgraded from a provincial hospital to one directly under Beijing’s administration. The change in affiliation signifies not only a rise in status and resources but also an increase in influence. Furthermore, the hospital’s focus would shift from provincial to national and international levels.
However, this was already a fact. Looking at the source of patients in the Surgical Research Institute and the Overseas Chinese Building, sixty percent were dostic and forty percent were international. This diversity showcased the quiet enhancent of the hospital’s capabilities.
These past years, Dean Xia had dedicated himself wholeheartedly to revolutionizing the talent structure of the entire hospital, building a sound basis for its developnt. He even surrendered his welfare housing for a young doctor, who is now Director Gao.
Director Gao has now propelled the Sports dicine Center to the forefront in the country. To advance orthopedics, Dean Xia, together with Director Han, brought in Tan Boyun from Affiliated Hospital No. 2. Despite Tan Boyun’s domineering and ambitious nature, which led so orthopedic directors to oppose him, Dean Xia and Director Han strong-ard his transfer. His ambition and energetic support from Yang Ping behind the scenes envisioned the Trauma Ergency Center becoming one of the top two nationwide, looking shoulder to shoulder with Mo Sixth Hospital and closely following the trauma orthopedics of Jishuitan.
The other sub-specialty directors in orthopedics now felt imnse pressure from Tan Boyun, who had declared, “Change the mindset or change the people.” A departnt director without top-tier hospital ambition cannot lead the departnt to excellence.
From recent experiences, structured animal experints had a significant impact on improving surgical skills compared to sporadic and unsystematic training. Dean Xia started to expand this training approach from the Surgical Research Institute to the entire hospital.
Yang Ping was reviewing the condition of Luo Jin in his office. Luo Jin was currently playing in the Premier League in Europe and performing well.
Luo Jin is a rare dostic talent. Yang Ping had nurous interactions with him due to performing the main surgery and perceived him as a bright, positive, and aspiring young man, who had been resolute and dedicated to his dreams since childhood.
Images of Luo Jin’s condition displayed on the electronic screen showed that the tumor was likely a glioma, deeply embedded within the brainstem and encroaching upon the motor center. The human motor center is divided into higher and lower centers, with the higher centers located in Brodmann areas 4 and 6 of the cerebral cortex, and the lower centers within the brainstem and spinal cord. The current tumor was attacking the lower motor center.
The higher centers rely on the lower centers to function, and if the lower centers were problematic, motor function would be severely impaired. Based on the current extent of the tumor’s invasion, if he proceeded with surgery, damage to the lower centers was inevitable. Damage to these nerve centers would bring disastrous consequences.
If left untreated, as the tumor grew, it would inevitably cause significant damage to other nerve clusters, such as the respiratory and cardiac centers. At this point, the strategy was to remove the tumor, halting or delaying its invasion of vital centers. Although damaging the motor centers was a secondary concern, it was a worthy trade-off for extending life.
The brainstem had long been considered a “no-go zone” for surgery and remains one of the most challenging surgeries in neurosurgery, requiring ticulous preoperative assessnt, a sound surgical plan, a highly skilled chief surgeon, and a perfectly coordinated team.
Yang Ping checked his WeChat on his phone, noticing that Luo Jin had yet to reply. Was he considering giving up on the surgery, or perhaps his match schedule was too busy to allow ti for surgery? Yang Ping sent another ssage to remind him.
Since Luo Jin had not responded, Yang Ping temporarily set this matter aside and began addressing other issues. His current research project was progressing slowly, encountering a bottleneck. He pondered whether there was a flaw in his approach, reassessing his strategy internally and feeling the overall direction was sound.
