Chapter 266: Chapter 0250: Exclusive Surgery
“Sorry, Doctor Yang!”
Fang Xiaoyun’s colleague kept apologizing, acknowledging that such a situation was disrupting the hospital’s normal order.
“Stop crying! You should cut ties with such parents, instances where you have to make undeserved concessions. You’re not a daughter to them, but an ATM. Look at you, scrimping and saving, giving all your money to your family. Now that you’re sick and need surgery, they don’t even ask about your condition, all they care about is squeezing more money out of you!”
Fang Xiaoyun’s colleague hugged her, ranting as her own eyes welled up with tears.
“Why didn’t you tell about the surgery earlier? Aren’t we like sisters?” the colleague angrily asked.
Fang Xiaoyun stayed silent. Her colleague sighed before saying, “You must have the surgery. The doctor said it was urgent. Do you plan on being paralyzed for the rest of your life? I have so money. Don’t worry. I will give your mother two thousand yuan. Tell her it’s the last ti, and from now on, don’t ntion money anymore—you won’t even give her a single penny. Your brother is already over twenty, spending his days playing video gas without working. They can’t afford to buy a house. And your mother, who plays mahjong all day. Are you planning to be tied to them for the rest of your life?”
...
“Doctor Yang, please arrange the surgery for her. She will be fine.” The colleague made the decision on Fang Xiaoyun’s behalf.
Sigh, her father, brother and sister couldn’t even compare to a simple colleague.
Fang Xiaoyun’s mother was escorted out of the hospital building by security. She was not allowed to reenter and furiously began cursing on the street just outside.
She accused the doctors of being rcenary, deceiving her daughter into having surgery for money. She lambasted her daughter for being undutiful, being wasteful with money and disregarding the well-being of her parents.
She launched into a tirade of abusive words while crying and sniveling, attracting a crowd. The onlookers who were ignorant about the whole situation even started believing her words.
Officer Wang from the hospital’s security office ca to understand the situation. What a headache!
Under such circumstances, there wasn’t much he could do. He couldn’t forbid her from scolding her daughter. At most, he could only persuade her to leave so she didn’t disrupt the hospital’s order.
But she was obstinate, even stretching out her hands saying, “Just arrest then. I don’t want to live anymore.”
Such people are like stones in a cesspit—both foul-slling and hard.
A young security guard couldn’t stand the situation anymore and went forward to say,”You are disrupting our dical order. Leave imdiately or we will take compulsory asures.”
Easy for him to say. Once they actually resorted to compulsory asures and she threw herself on the ground, crying and screaming that the hospital’s security was beating people, things would beco even more troubleso.
There was no way to deal with this! The security tried to pull her away, but she refused to leave and just fell onto the ground like a tantrum-throwing child, flailing her arms and legs, and crying loudly, “The hospital’s security is beating people, they’re killing people —”
Oh dear!
Another guard ca to help and grabbed her other arm. The two of them pulled her out together.
By this ti, the crowd of onlookers was growing and whispers of accusations against the high-handedness of the security, who beat the woman to such a state, grew louder. So even started filming the scene with their phones.
The security imdiately tried to explain, but their voices were drowned out by the woman’s loud crying. The spectators only believed what they saw and didn’t listen to the explanations. Left with no choice, the two security guards hesitated and one of them let go of her arm.
There was a smack, and sothing wet and red hit the security’s face.
“There you go for trying to drive out!” the woman shrieked maliciously.
Damn it! The security glanced at the thing on his face, feeling a wave of nausea and rage.
Ignoring everything else, he grabbed her arm again and started dragging her out forcefully. The other security guard let go and imdiately reported to their team leader.
You couldn’t deal with the wicked by being kind!
The security team leader of Sanbo Hospital, Wang Shengli, one of the newly crowned “tough guys” of Sanbo, a direct and forthright man from Hebei’s Baoding, and reputedly a forr scout, rushed over. He loudly ordered, “First, restrain her and prevent her from harming others. Call the ntal hospital to see if she was the one who escaped this morning —”
Upon hearing this, the onlookers deed their safety to be of utmost importance. If she had escaped from a ntal hospital, they imdiately retreated a great distance.
The hospital’s ergency response team was imdiately dispatched. Holding shields and truncheons, they advanced in a uniform formation, moving swiftly towards the woman.
“We think she’s a patient who escaped from the city’s ntal hospital this morning. Her age, figure, and facial features all match. Restrain her and send her back. Hurry, she has a history of injuring others, so everyone be careful.”
It turned out she was actually ntally ill. The ntally ill could even kill without being held accountable, so the onlookers imdiately dispersed.
Upon hearing this, the woman attempted to deny the accusations, but by this point, no one cared about her explanations. The onlookers’ accusations quickly turned to the security for being unable to manage a ntally ill patient causing a disturbance and for failing to take compulsory asures imdiately.
“Anesthetic needle, bring the anesthetic needle quickly—” Wang Shengli yelled, as if he was really going to use the anesthetic needle.
The woman noticed the situation was turning unfavorable, she was frightened, got up imdiately, and ran like the wind, sprinting as though fearing the security guards would send her to a psychiatric hospital.
Wang Shengli yelled from behind, “Chase! Don’t let her escape.”
The unlucky guard was about to chase after her, but Wang Shengli stopped him, “Enough!”
Soon, the woman disappeared like smoke in the wind, and thus, this farce ended.
“If you deal with such people in a serious manner, you’re bound to lose. She’s just a shrew. Go wash your face, and later co to for a red envelope, to dispel the bad luck.”
Wang Shengli patted the guard who had suffered the brunt of the attack earlier.
—
The liver MRI scan for Sisi was completed, and the images were already out. Song Zimo opened the screen, pulled out the images, comparing the old ones and the ones from now placed on two sides of the screen.
As he was looking, he was astonished. The Focused Ultrasound could perform surgeries abnormally precise on tumors, akin to surgical operations.
Even if it were open surgery, manually cut with a scalpel, it wouldn’t reach this level of precision. The entire tumor nodule, including the edges, showed an increase in signal post-op, indicating that the whole tumor was hit by the ultrasound. The surrounding healthy liver tissue showed normal signals, indicating no collateral damage. In theory, this should be impossible.
If Focused Ultrasound were this effective, machines like the Gamma Knife wouldn’t be in such an awkward position, only having a minor effect and providing auxiliary support for uterine fibroids.
Based on the MRI, most cells of the liver tastatic tumor have been killed by thermal energy. Gradually, the cancer cells will crumble and ultimately be absorbed by the body.
Although it cannot completely eliminate it, it at least can maintain a temporary balance, slowing down the growth rate of the tumor, and achieving the purpose of prolonging life.
Cells are the basic units of life’s structure and function. As long as there’s life, cells keep dividing. Normal cells divide sixty tis and then die, but so cells are uncontrollable and constantly divide. This is how cancer is produced.
Cancer cells are essentially out of control, unable to undergo normal apoptosis, and lose their normal structure and function.
When the cancer cell’s space can no longer accommodate it, the tumor cells on the edge will use blood, lymphatic fluid, or other ans to migrate, invading other parts of the body and causing the tumor to tastasize.
tastasis is the biggest characteristic of malignant tumors. Due to their ability to tastasize, doctors cannot obliterate them because they might be omnipresent.
Every cubic centiter of tumor contains over a billion tumor cells. The existence of a tumor of three or four centiters in the liver implies tens of billions, even hundreds of billions or trillions of cancer cells in the body. Even if we wrack our brains to eliminate ninety-nine percent of them, the remaining one percent of cancer cells still exist in massive quantities. They will rise again, staging a coback.
Eradicating them completely!
For thousands of years, since the discovery of this disease, doctors have strived to achieve this goal, but regrettably, until now, the vast majority of cancers still cannot be completely eradicated.
Now, ninety percent of the tumor on Sisi’s liver has been killed by focused ultrasound at least from a macroscopic image perspective; it has been obliterated.
However, the cancer cells that survived this attack will regroup, slowly revive, and continue to divide, going from one to two, two to four, four to eight—and eventually co back.
Present treatnts can only maintain a balance between the human body and the tumor, making the war fall into a stalemate.
Yang Ping returned to his departnt. He didn’t need to look at MRI images to know the effect of the surgery because he had run countless simulations in the system space.
“Brother, I didn’t expect the Gamma Knife to be so powerful. Can it be used on many tumors in the future?” Song Zimo sees a new world opening up.
Yang Ping shook his head, “This surgery cannot be replicated, and there is no value in promoting it. If we want the Gamma Knife to demonstrate its power, we must continue to improve it, making it more precise and controllable.”
Song Zimo didn’t know that such a surgical outco was achieved by Yang Ping after running thousands of trial surgeries in the system space with cloned organisms, and obtaining the optimal data. In reality, there is no opportunity for this. Even if you can experint thousands of tis, without the magical screen reference in the system space, you wouldn’t know what is optimal.
“Only I can do this surgery because others don’t have such spatial imagination and can’t perform precise positioning,” Yang Ping calmly stated.
With just one sentence, the conversation stalled. Song Zimo initially wanted to discuss the future possibilities of Gamma Knife.
Indeed, ultrasound waves are intangible and cannot be monitored for how deep they go into the body or how high their temperature is. But how can Yang Ping control the focus point and temperature with such precision?
So things should not be investigated too deeply, such as Nikola Tesla, who is like a god.
