Chapter 1430: Chapter 1070: I’ll Tell You a Secret Chapter 1430: Chapter 1070: I’ll Tell You a Secret Whether this thod will work or not, no one is confident, not even Yang Ping. He is only convinced by his ticulous thought that theoretically it is feasible, but since there is no precedent to refer to, it is unclear whether it will actually work. This is the first ti this new thod is being used, otherwise it wouldn’t be called a new thod.
Might as well be trying to bring a dead horse back to life, as other thods have failed anyway.
However, the thod sounds reasonable. Previously, nobody thought to apply any new thods, sticking strictly to conventional treatnt guidelines. The inevitable poor outcos never led to any reflection.
With other diseases, it’s the sa. People just follow the prescribed treatnts without questioning why they are doing so or whether they can make changes. In dicine, the cost of even a small change can be much greater than in other professions.
The patient’s wife is also a professor. She cooperated fully, very willing to try this treatnt in her sorrow since it represents the only glimr of hope. She understands the disease’s hundred percent fatality rate.
Additionally, Yang Ping is a doctor specially appointed by Beijing for the consultation, and Professor Su is an academician. With such credentials backing the new thod, she is willing to try it. Especially after hearing all kinds of tales about Yang Ping.
The key to this treatnt is to manage the depth of the induced hibernation well. It can’t cause problems because of the hibernation. Every day, doctors draw blood from the patient to check the titers of rabies antibodies, but currently, the titers have not increased.
This treatnt approach severely tests the capabilities of the ICU dical team, not just in dical proficiency but also in terms of dical equipnt and various rescue dications. Given that the patient might face life-threatening issues at any stage of the hibernation, without strong dical technological support, the chance of death is high. That is why hospitals with weaker ICUs struggle to achieve success rates, and this also accounts for the high costs and low success rates of this thod.
Over at the Surgical Research Institute, they have Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, so Yang Ping doesn’t need to worry. He decides to spend most of his ti here, but he will still go back once a day to shower, change clothes, have a al, play with his son, and chat with his wife.
A leader from Beijing personally visited Nandu Affiliated Hospital One to see the patient. Accompanied by Professor Su, the leader also understood after the visit that this situation was unavoidable.
The scientist is currently leading a national project of great importance, playing an extrely vital role in it. Without his participation, the project might be delayed by 5 to 10 years, and it is of great significance to the nation.
But to demand the dical staff to definitely save him is to disregard reality completely, a violation of the spirit of seeking truth from facts.
“We have worked hard, everyone has done their best, and I will reflect the situation to the higher-ups,” said the leader, also helpless in the face of such a disease.
“Just how could rabies have such a long incubation period, manifesting ten years later?” The leader was not dically trained, simply curious.
Professor Su explained, “In very rare cases, the incubation period of rabies can be very long, but these cases are quite unusual. The general incubation period is 1-3 months.” The leader nodded, gave Professor Su so instructions, and then hastily returned to Beijing with his delegation.
Around three in the afternoon, several experts who had flown in from other regions gradually arrived at Nandu Affiliated Hospital One. They were all consultation experts dispatched by Beijing, mostly top specialists in infectious diseases and ICU experts from Beijing’s and Shanghai’s premier hospitals.
After reviewing the case, they all shook their heads. There was no doubt about the rabies diagnosis, and the 100% fatality rate was also without question. This disease remains an unsolved dical challenge; no consult will change the final outco.
However, hearing about Nandu Affiliated Hospital One’s use of so hibernation therapy, which these experts had never heard of, they thought to criticize it, as it seed like reckless experintation. But out of respect for Professor Su and hearing that it was led by Yang Ping, they held their tongues, instead praising the younger generation for being innovative.
In the evening, everyone enjoyed a harmonious dinner, and Professor Su urged Yang Ping to stay. Normally, Yang Ping does not like socializing, and he was reluctant to participate, but his father-in-law forcefully dragged him along. Yang Ping could not refuse his father-in-law’s face, so he stayed to dine with the consultation experts too.
But Yang Ping found it strange, as his father-in-law usually does not insist so strongly on him staying for als; knowing that he does not like eating out, the usual invitation was more a formality, leaving the decision to him. This ti, the insistence was conspicuous.
The experts were also busy. They planned to visit the ICU together the next morning and then rush back to their respective hospitals. For such a critical condition, the consultation signifies attention to the matter and a certain attitude, but offers no substantial help.
—
The life signs of the rabies patient are stable, so Yang Ping doesn’t have to worry too much for now. As long as he manages the hibernation well, maintaining the stable vital signs is sothing ICU doctors excel at. Their daily work is tantamount to stealing lives back from King Yan.
Yang Ping returned ho in the evening. The journey of roughly an hour is not really far, and now it’s more convenient for him with a driver and Ershun’s assistance. Wherever he goes, his car is ready and waiting at the nearest possible location, with Ershun helping him into the vehicle. When he used to have access to the System Space, he could pretend to doze off in the car and then either perform surgeries or conduct experints in the System Space.
