Sleepless Doctor

Chapter 680: Two-Headed Ogre

"Ms. Wu, are you an old volunteer soldier?" Matthew De asked.

Wu Mian turned on the Bluetooth to call Guo Ruming, but Matthew couldn't even hear it.

"Yeah." Wu Mian said, "I said it was a little older, and I don't know what the basic conditions are. When Director Guo sends someone to me, I will first look at the situation."

In recent years, the remains of the volunteers have returned to the country. Matthew De has watched the video once, and tears have flowed.

After thinking for a moment, Matthew said in a deep voice, "Ms. Wu, do you have any special needs?"

"I'll talk about it when I see an elderly person." Wu Mian said, "Live in a special needs ward, and I will think about the others. You can think about the candidates in the special needs ward. You just have to take an exam and find a few capable nurses. As for the doctor... I will think about it again. one time."

"Okay." Matthew De responded in one bite.

The 93-year-old old man experienced the battle to build the country when he was young, and he was afraid that it would be a lot of hidden illnesses. The physical condition is not much better, and you must be able to take care of it.

Every hospital has special needs wards, but the names are different. The special needs ward of Xiehe is called Shuaifu, which is not a special need anymore and is different from other hospitals.

"Ms. Wu, should we find a ward for the special needs ward, or..."

"Just now we sent Mr. Zheng and his party to Laoya Mountain. I want to use the building at the foot of the mountain as a special ward. Do you think it is appropriate?" Wu Mian asked.

Matthew De was taken aback.

The building at the foot of Laoya Mountain is incredible.

A few days ago, Golden Boeing came to China, and Mr. Wu was missing for a while. Before that, the buildings at the foot of Laoya Mountain had sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Just like a fairy casting a spell, a spell is created on the ground.

Matthew De thought that that side was going to be turned into a holiday villa to receive dignitaries who were looking for Mr. Wu for medical treatment and surgery. But I didn't expect that Teacher Wu actually meant this, special needs ward? If it is to be remodeled, it is another major project.

"They are all designed according to the ward, and oxygen pipes and various lines don't need to be modified." Wu Mian seemed to be able to read the mind, and said one thing to break the confusion in his heart.

It was originally built according to the model of a ward, but it would take a lot of effort to turn it into a holiday resort, but it would be no problem at all if it became a special needs ward.

"That's good." Matthew De said with a smile, "I'll pick a few people to arrange for it. Fortunately, we have a lot of people now. If the Fifth Court opens in the next year, I'm afraid there will be a shortage of people everywhere."

"I don't worry about the quality of personnel and basic hardware." Wu Mian said with a smile, "I will think about it again after tomorrow's surgery, and think about what else is wrong."

"Ms. Wu, I heard that tomorrow's operation will be very big?" Matthew De asked.

"Well, to subtotal removal of Zheng Linyuan's left cerebral cortex, there are very few domestic operations and not many internationally." Wu Miandao, "There is another point of uncertainty. Generally speaking, people who perform this type of surgery are It’s an infant, and people over 16-18 have not done it much. There is a lack of information, and failure is the main one."

"You must be sure, don't worry." Matthew De said casually.

When it comes to treatment, Matthew De's tone has unknowingly changed extremely affirmatively, beyond doubt.

"I really don't know where your inexplicable confidence comes from." Wu Mian smiled.

"It's accumulated during this period of time." Matthew De said, "If you hear someone say how good your surgery is, I will listen to it. But I have seen you perform so many major operations, especially our Jianxie Hospital. When I first opened, the president of the University of Cambridge came to us for surgery not far away. Is it unclear?"

"Haha." Wu Mian smiled and shook his head slightly.

"Ms. Wu, cut the cerebral cortex, can people be like normal people?" Matthew asked if he didn't understand.

"Human research on the brain is still too little." Wu Miandao, "The normal operation is to treat infants with hemiplegia with intractable epilepsy and behavioral disorders, cerebral facial hemangioma, hemimegaencephaly and other rare cases.

When I was in Massachusetts, I had a hemisphereectomy for cerebral facial hemangioma. The first sight of the patient shocked me. "

"Hemangioma of the brain and face?"

"Well, the length of the patient's hemangioma...slightly smaller than a normal head, but not much smaller." Wu Mian said, "Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a double-headed ogre in the myth."

Matthew did not know about ogres. It was a foreign myth. People of his age didn't have much contact with them. But when it comes to two heads, he has his own imagination.

"The first doctor in Massachusetts gave him the nickname the Double-Headed Ogre." Wu Mian smiled, "The operation was performed for 13 hours, and the girl was so tired that she couldn't stand up when she stepped down."

"What about after surgery?"

"I have recovered well. I lived in ICU for 14 days and my condition improved and went out." Wu Mian said, "I encountered many problems during the operation and accumulated a certain amount of experience. At that time, I almost really decided to remove the patient's half of the brain. It’s just a little bit short of it."

"..." Matthew De was taken aback~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Is that still alive? "

"People with only half of the brain can still have basic life and cognitive abilities like normal people. But it's just a few cases. The medical community has not yet reached a conclusion about the specific conditions." Wu Mian explained briefly.

"Uh……"

"Don't say this, there are very few people who have completely removed half of their brains in the history of surgery. I have looked for them and there is no record. However, in the treatment of infant hemiplegia with intractable epilepsy and behavioral disorders, there are many patients who have removed one side of the cerebral cortex.

Caltech conducted a survey of 6 such patients. "

"Through performing brain MRI scans of these seemingly normal patients, it was found that the reason why patients with half of their brains removed can maintain normal living ability is because the rest of the brains of these people can be adaptively adjusted. Very strong neural connections are formed between neural networks with different functions."

"Can the brain grow adaptively?!" Matthew De was surprised.

"Yeah." Wu Mian nodded, "But Zheng Linyuan is an adult, so it doesn't matter whether he can grow up. I talked to Mr. Chu, and he insisted on having an operation."

Matthew De understood Wu Mian's words. As a senior medical director, his first thought was-medical disputes.

This kind of high-risk patient... can not even be said to be a high-risk patient, but a patient with a huge high-risk. If the operation is approved by the medical department, he will definitely not agree.

But Jianxie Hospital is another mode of operation. Matthew sighed and figured out what he could do if something went wrong. After thinking for a few minutes, he suddenly realized that he couldn't do anything.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu should take it on his shoulders, and he doesn't need to think too much about it.
