The World's First Hospital: I Build A Palace Of Medicine

mid-July.

Galaxy Hospital.

Neurosurgery Building.

Wang Kai brought his younger brother Wang Tao to see a doctor.

Wang Tao suffers from spinal muscular atrophy, and has been disabled and deformed since he was a child. Only his head is normal.

Like Hawking, he cannot move the body below the head, can only live in a wheelchair, and must take drugs to delay his life.

However, God closed the door for Wang Tao, but opened a window for him.

Wang Tao has been very smart since he was a child.

He has a strong talent in the field of financial futures.

After Wang Tao and big brother Wang Kai combined their swords.

The two made money from the Emperor in the futures market!

Today, the two are worth hundreds of millions.

In recent years.

Wang Kai has been taking Wang Tao to top hospitals for treatment.

Yenching Union Medical College Hospital, Tokyo University Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Mayo Medical Center.

Both have been there!

Unfortunately....……

With the current medical level, there is no cure for spinal muscular atrophy.

some days ago.

Yinhe Hospital has completed pig kidney transplantation and pig heart transplantation to human body, making it famous in the medical field.

Have a try mentality.

Wang Kai took his younger brother Wang Tao to Yinhe Hospital and met Zhao Jizong, director of neurosurgery.

Zhao Jizong is an academician of Xia Guo Academy of Sciences.

At the same time, he is also the top neurosurgery expert in China.

Inside the clinic.

Zhao Jizong watched Wang Tao's inspection report in detail.

He said solemnly: "Mr. Wang, your brother's spinal muscular atrophy is very serious. It is almost impossible to restore your brother to health.

"Academician Zhao, can you think of another way?"

Wang Kai hurriedly begged.

He checked the information of Yinhe Hospital.

Since its opening last year, Yinhe Hospital has created many first cases in China and the first in the world.

On the level of surgery alone.

Galaxy Hospital is probably already the top three in the country!

If even Yinhe Hospital can't cure him, then his younger brother Wang Tao will spend his whole life in a wheelchair.

Zhao Jizong was silent for a moment and said: "Mr. Wang, there are actually ways to do it."

"any solution?"

Wang Kai continued to ask.

Zhao Jizong said in a deep voice: "Alternative head and body reconstruction surgery, also known as head replacement surgery!

The patient has his head transplanted to a healthy body and becomes a healthy person again.

The specific method is to first find a body that has been successfully matched, and then use an operation to change the head with your brother.

In this way, your brother can have a healthy body.

Of course, no one in the world has done this operation, and the risk is extremely high.

In theory.

This is the only way your brother will be able to regain his health"!"

"Head replacement surgery?"

Wang Kai was startled, a little surprised.

He had heard about the head-changing technique in ancient books.

Books such as "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", "Sou Shen Ji" and "You Ming Lu" all have stories of "changing heads".

But these are all fairy tales and folklore!

In the real world, head replacement surgery has never been achieved!

Just as Wang Kai wanted to refuse, Wang Tao asked with interest: "Academician Zhao, can you explain the head-changing technique in detail?"

Zhao Jizong said truthfully: "Theoretically, there are six steps in head replacement surgery.

First, find a good body or remains, and the matching is successful, without obvious rejection.

Second, the body and head, which will be connected together, are cooled to 12 to 15°C to ensure that the cells can survive for a period of time without oxygen.

Third, cut the tissues, muscles, blood vessels, etc. around the neck, and then use a very sharp blade to cut off the spinal cord cleanly.

Fourth, the severed head is connected to someone else, and a chemical substance called polyethylene glycol is used to fuse the spinal wound and promote the meshing of cells.

Fifth, after the successful connection of the muscles and blood supply, the patient is left in a coma for a month to prevent large movements of the newly fused neck.

Sixth, after the patient wakes up, he can move immediately, and with physical therapy, he can start walking within a year.

Of course, these steps are all theory.

Every step, there may be accidents, leading to the death of the patient. "

hear this.

Wang Kai asked: "Academician Zhao, what is the probability that Yinhe Hospital will successfully complete the head transplant operation?"

"Less than 10%!"

Zhao Jizong said truthfully: "Theory is theory after all, not practice.

First, the brain is frozen to minus 12-15°C. If this operation is performed on 10 people, only the brains of 3 to 4 people can survive.

Second, when a spinal cord is completely severed, it can be extremely difficult to reconnect and restore function.

In the end, the rejection reaction of the head transplant operation is extremely high. Even if the operation is successful, there may be sequelae and death. "

The words fell.

Needle drop can be heard in the outpatient clinic, and it is extremely quiet.

A chance of less than 10% is almost equivalent to failure.

Wang Kai glanced at his younger brother, and then said: "Academician Zhao, forget it. Although my younger brother is only living in a wheelchair, at least he can still live."

Zhao Jizong nodded.

The chances of a head transplant being successful are extremely low!

At the pace of medical progress.

Maybe ten years later when we talk about head replacement surgery, the chance of success will be higher.

At this time, Wang Tao said, "Academician Zhao, I want to have a head transplant! Even if the odds are low, I'm willing to try it!"

"You're crazy!"

Wang Kai scolded: "You have to try with a one-tenth chance, even gamblers are unwilling to gamble!"

Wang Tao smiled wryly, "Brother, what's the difference between my ghostly appearance and being dead?

Rather than being paralyzed in a wheelchair for a lifetime, it is better to choose to fight!

If successful, naturally everyone is happy.

If it fails, then I have no regrets.

On the contrary, in the history of modern medicine, I can leave a valuable experience in head transplant surgery, which can be used as a reference for future surgeons!"

"KR..."

Wang Kai hesitated to speak, and took back what he wanted to curse.

Don't suffer from others, really persuade others to be kind.

My younger brother has suffered from spinal muscular atrophy since he was a child.

He can only live in a wheelchair and cannot take care of himself.

After the Wang family got rich.

The younger brother's eating, drinking and drinking are all served by a special nanny.

Think carefully.

What my younger brother hopes most is to become a healthy person.

Wang Kai asked: "W Taotao, have you ever thought about what we will do if you die?"

"Brother, I really want to fight!"

Wang Tao said affectionately: "Even if I die on the operating table, the money I earned through futures in the past few years is enough for my parents and my big brother's sister-in-law to live a lifetime of prosperity."

The voice fell.

Wang Kai was silent again.

After a long silence.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Since you want to fight for the odds, I will bear it with you!"

"it is good!"

Wang Tao smiled, his eyes were extremely firm.

Then, Wang Kai looked at Zhao Jizong: "Academician Zhao, how much does the head replacement surgery cost?"

Zhao Jizong didn't reply immediately, but said: "I'll make a call first and ask the dean."

He took out his mobile phone and dialed Lu Chen's number.

A few minutes later.

The phone hangs up.

Zhao Jizong said: "Dean Lu means that the total cost of the head replacement operation is 80 million yuan!"

"8000?"

Wang Kai frowned and said, "Academician Zhao, there is no such expensive surgery in the world, right?"

As far as he knows.

The cost of the allogeneic bone marrow transplant at Yinhe Hospital is 140,000 yuan.

The cost of liver transplantation and intestinal transplantation at Yinhe Medical (Li Hao) Hospital is 1,294,584 yuan.

There is no reason to do a head transplant, and the cost will be dozens of times higher!

Zhao Jizong explained: "Mr. Wang, head replacement surgery is a super-large operation that takes a long time.

During the operation, 150 doctors and nurses were required to participate, and it took 36 hours to complete.

Before the formal operation, we will use Daxing's mice for experiments.

Numerous experimental data will increase the final success rate of head replacement surgery. "

Hearing this, Wang Kai nodded slightly.

Head replacement surgery, doesn't it start now?

Younger brother Wang Tao still needs to find a healthy body for matching.

Recently, more than 100 top doctors in Yinhe Hospital must spend a lot of money and material resources to gain experience through animal head transplant surgery.

The total cost of the operation is 80 million, which is not incomprehensible.

Wang Kai took a deep breath and said, "Academician Zhao, we did the 80 million yuan head replacement operation! Even if it only improves the success rate by a little bit, it's worth it!"

"That's OK!"

Zhao Jizong said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, we will be responsible for all matters related to your brother's body matching and surgery in Yinhe Hospital!".
