95 minutes after starting liver dialysis, Zheng Ren gave the doctor's order to change the mode.
Switch from adsorbed bilirubin to plasma exchange, adjust the blood flow rate to 110mL/min, and the plasma separation speed to 25mL/min.
At the same time, the numerical returns of Lao He's monitoring are also relatively ideal. The total bilirubin of the small stone did not continue to increase. Under liver dialysis and under the action of adsorbed bilirubin, the value stabilized but decreased, and the control was quite perfect.
The operation was done, and Dr. Charles had his own judgment in mind.
Originally, I came to see the surgery because it was a "special" surgery - 3D printed organ autotransplantation.
If this succeeds, will my heart be replaced with a brand new one before it starts to lose vitality in 10 years
Dr. Charles must take care of his body. After all, the passage of time takes away health and vitality. This is an objective law of nature that no one can violate.
But after coming here and witnessing the surgery with his own eyes, Dr. Charles didn't care at all about the 3D-printed organs.
The 58-minute cold ischemia time, the extremely delicate surgical process, and the ability to control the entire scene from a high position, none of these surprised Dr. Charles.
From the young doctor who came to the Mayo Clinic for consultation this year, his surgery at that time can only be said to be eye-catching. Dr. Charles did not expect that in more than half a year, this young man and his team would progress to this extent.
The completed right lung transplant was flawless throughout the entire process. It was like a work of art, allowing people to play with it, reflect on it, and reluctantly part with it.
Dr. Charles is even sure that he will watch the live broadcast of the surgery over and over again in the past few days. This is the most precious treasure in the world!
"Zheng, how did you determine that liver failure would occur during the operation?" Dr. Charles finally found a chance to ask in a low voice.
"Because Xiaoshi... the patient had undergone two interventional embolization surgeries for liver cancer before the operation, and his liver function has not fully recovered, so I estimate that there is a high chance of liver problems." Zheng Rendao, "It's just a precaution, it's a matter of probability."
Su Yun smiled. His boss sometimes made judgments based on instinct, and the accuracy was really high.
Dr. Charles readily accepted this statement, after all, it was the only reasonable explanation.
"Zheng, I am very happy to see the success of 3D printed organ transplantation."
"Doctor, the operation is only half done." Zheng Ren began to cut the skin and chatted with Dr. Charles with a smile. You should relax at this time. It will be too late to be nervous when the time comes to remove the entire left lung and transplant the donor lung.
"Zheng, I am very happy to see the most peak operation with my own eyes." Dr. Charles said, "I brought flowers and roses when I came this time. I was a little hesitant before. You also know that arrogance is the original sin and it is difficult to convince Those old fogies accept an Oriental."
"Haha." Zheng Ren smiled dryly to show politeness.
"The conditions here are simply too bad, so bad that it affects surgery." Dr. Charles looked at the mottled machine and said without hesitation, "Zheng, I sincerely invite you to come to Mayo. There’s room for full development!”
When Ringer heard what Dr. Charles said, his heart went cold from his chest to his heels.
He could understand the meaning of the doctor's words, and he could also imagine what was hidden. If it were me, after the operation, I would follow Dr. Charles directly to the Mayo Clinic without even saying hello, without even a second's delay.
"Doctor, thank you." Zheng Ren said calmly.
"When I think about being able to watch you perform surgery live in the future, seeing me..."
"Doctor, I'm not planning to leave 912." Zheng Ren said to Dr. Charles while performing the operation, "It's good to be here. Thank you for the invitation."
Dr. Charles was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that anyone could refuse his invitation or Mayo's invitation.
No, it must be that I didn’t express myself clearly.
"Zheng, what I strive for is a tenured professor at Mayo. When you come to Mayo, you can perform to your heart's content in the world's first-class operating room."
"Doctor, the purpose of surgery is to treat diseases and save people. I don't think it's bad here." Zheng Ren opened the left chest with Su Yun's cooperation and asked Lao He to perform single-chamber ventilation, ventilator, and micropump. Fine tune.
"Zheng, don't you understand what I mean?" Dr. Charles was a little strange. He still didn't believe that anyone could refuse the call of the world's top hospital. "Oh, do you want to take the entire team there? This is inevitable, you don't have to Worry."
Hearing what Dr. Charles said, Lao He's hands began to tremble.
I'll go...can I go to work in Mayo
"Lao He, pay attention." Zheng Ren's voice was a little cold, and then he said to the doctor, "Doctor, I have no plans to go abroad for the time being."
"Zheng..."
Zheng Ren declined the doctor's invitation and continued to concentrate on the surgery. The situation was a bit embarrassing.
"Doctor, your scientific research level at Mayo is supposed to be very high, but the research progress of some projects recently..." Su Yun hesitated, but finally said directly, "I feel that you are slowing down work."
"Su, it's true." Dr. Charles was a little frustrated. "The patent period bonus effect of the drug has faded. The key is that we have done a good job. The population is aging seriously. If this continues, the entire earth will explode."
"So stop developing new drugs and stop researching new technologies? Use this to solve the problem of population aging?" Su Yun asked with a smile.
He originally wanted to explain it to Zheng Ren from one side, so as not to worry about Dr. Charles. But he heard hints of other gossip in the doctor's words, and he immediately became energetic.
"No, you won the Nobel Prize in Biology and Medicine. Do you know why you couldn't even win the Nobel Prize for organ transplantation back then?" Dr. Charles asked.
"It's discrimination."
"Su, you are still too young." Dr. Charles said, "That is the will of capital."
"Capital? Yes, it's capital!" Su Yun understood immediately.
"How much profit can an organ transplant bring to capital? There is no comparison with the profit brought by a breakthrough in the field of biology or the development of a new drug. Because capital is concerned, all resources are directed towards where they focus. Moving, gathering. This is an invisible hand, invisible but the most powerful in the world."
"Doctor, don't scare me, I'm timid." Su Yun smiled.
"In the past fifty years, how many new cardiovascular and cerebrovascular drugs have been launched, and how many capital groups have provided huge profits while treating diseases? Su, are you saying that organ transplantation is useless?"
"It must be useful. If it can be fully rolled out, I think it will save a lot of people."
"Yes, but this part of the profit is diluted. The overall calculation capital group has actuaries doing it. I think they are right based on the numerical analysis."
"Doctor, wouldn't you say that the world's population is aging seriously and they have stopped researching new drugs?" Su Yun asked.
"Still researching." Dr. Charles was obviously a little frustrated. He was unwilling to continue talking about it, but as a doctor, he still did not get rid of the obsession rooted in his bones.
Su Yun noticed something was wrong, and while cooperating with Zheng Ren in the operation, he asked, "Doctor, what do you want to say?"
"No." Dr. Charles sighed, and the boredom in his words was evident.
Zheng Ren's hand paused for a moment, which was the only slowness during the operation.
Dr. Charles's tone was so strange, as if he knew some shocking secret but was keeping silent.
"Doctor, look at you, you are chatting in the operating room. Why don't you talk during Mayo's surgery?" Su Yun said with a smile, "I have also considered this problem. Generally speaking, a war will break out to solve the problem of population. The problem of aging. Praise the great nuclear physicists who have protected the peace of the world."
Dr. Charles was silent and did not answer Su Yun's words.
"I have seen a movie called Population Clearance Plan. It talks about a statutory day every year where it is illegal to kill people and is used to clean up the poor people. Doctor, have you already started taking action? Is there any news? Can you Can you tell me something?"
Su Yun just told a joke out of habit, either intentionally or unintentionally. This is a big gossip, and he is more interested in doing surgery.
However, Dr. Charles's expression was a bit ugly when exposed outside his hat and mask, and the corners of his eyes kept twitching.
Because Dr. Charles stood behind Zheng Ren, Zheng Ren couldn't see it, but Su Yun could see it clearly. He was startled for a moment, and the movement of his hand paused. Judging from Dr. Charles's expression, it seems that his thoughts are much more conservative.
"Pa~" The hemostatic pliers on Su Yun's hand were knocked, making a crisp sound of metal impact.
"It's surgery, don't be stunned." Zheng Ren said, "The cold ischemia time can't be too long, be serious."
Su Yun did not refute, he lowered his head and cooperated with Zheng Ren's surgery.
A few seconds later, Su Yun whispered, "Doctor, did you know that when I was a graduate student, I had already started trying to clone suitable tissues with autologous stem cells in mice and 3D printed hearts for transplantation."
What he said was inconsistent, and Dr. Charles was a little confused.
"At that time, I had an idea. After the advent of cloning technology, it would not be very difficult to 3D print organs... In other words, the emergence of cloning technology has cleared all obstacles. But from the emergence of cloned sheep in the 1990s until now, There has been no huge progress, and it seems like your medical and biological communities are waiting for something.”
"Doctor, do you classify this as a black technology, or is my feeling right? What are you really waiting for?"
Su Yun skillfully cooperated with Zheng Ren in the operation, but he was not idle and asked a huge confusion of his.
