What's with the hysteria in the middle of the night? "
More than ten minutes later, Su Yun went downstairs and nagged unhappily.
"I suspect that his father has dilated cardiomyopathy, and it's in the late stage. I'm going to take a look," Zheng Ren said.
Su Yun looked at the tears on the man's face and knew that the boss had caused trouble for himself again. However, this time, he could still tolerate it because he had 'picked up' a cardiomyopathy patient.
After calling a car, the man went to the hospital with Zheng Ren and Su Yun with a confused expression.
He took out the radiographic films and came down. By then, he had almost sobered up.
The night breeze was slightly cold. He held the radiographic films and information in a daze. He did not know why he had believed the young man's words.
Even if it could be treated, he could not afford the hundreds of thousands of yuan. Even if he sold his house and land, he would not be able to raise hundreds of thousands. Raise money? The interest was enough to crush a person's bones.
He had met a kind-hearted person, but no matter how kind he was, would he be able to pay for his treatment? No one's money came from nowhere.
"How should I address you two?" After the man came down with the radiographic films, he remembered to ask for their names.
"It's not important." Su Yun took the bag and took out a chest radiographic film.
He glanced at the light and his hand froze in mid-air.
"Wow, such a big heart!" Su Yun said in surprise.
The patient had a left pleural effusion, and the image of the heart was mixed in the effusion, making it difficult to distinguish. However, this was not a problem for Zheng Ren and Su Yun. They could tell at a glance that the patient's condition was serious.
The expansion of the heart malformation was mainly in the left ventricle. The right ventricle and left and right atria were also dilated to varying degrees.
The electrocardiogram showed severe right bundle branch block, extensive ST-T changes, high left ventricular voltage, left atrial hypertrophy, pathological Q waves due to myocardial fibrosis, and low voltage in all leads.
The echocardiogram showed obvious left ventricular enlargement, left ventricular outflow tract expansion, ventricular septum and posterior left ventricular wall pulsation amplitude weakened.
The patient had rapid ventricular rhythm, accompanied by severe atrioventricular block. In other words, there was a possibility of sudden death at any time.
There was no doctor's advice, but Zheng Ren guessed that the effect of conservative treatment with internal medicine was limited.
It was already past the period of anti-heart failure and correcting arrhythmia. The best way to do now was a heart transplant, which was what the man called a heart change.
If a patient with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy underwent a heart transplant, the survival rate of more than one year would be 85% to 90%. The effect was not bad.
However, there was another problem. The high cost and the lack of donors made the surgery difficult to perform. It was not even a matter of money. Without a donor, where could they get a heart transplant?
Unless Huaxi's project team in Chengdu took down the 3D printed heart project as soon as possible.
"Boss, have you forgotten? If we were to perform a face reduction surgery, how much heart muscle would we have to cut? "Su Yun recalled countless data and said with emotion.
"About 350 grams of myocardium. That's still an estimate," Zheng Ren said.
"…" The man was confused. Was the heart muscle they were talking about the muscles of the heart? Can that thing still live after being cut off?
"It's like this. We're doctors from the 912." Zheng Ren then said seriously, "It just so happens that we have a program where we can perform surgery on patients for free. There should be a certain amount of compensation after the surgery. "
Then, he saw the man looking at him suspiciously.
Zheng Ren laughed awkwardly in his heart as he sounded like a liar.
"Let me say it." Su Yun thought that what Zheng Ren said was wrong and interrupted him disdainfully.
"Your father's condition is serious. He can die at any time," Su Yun told the truth.
The man knew about this. The doctor on this side had said it many times.
"The longest estimate is that he can only live for another two to three months. We have a scientific research activity over there where we can perform free surgery. The success rate of the surgery is not high. If you want to give it a try, you can come to us. "
"We'll talk about the details when the time comes." Su Yun looked at the man's eyes and suddenly blew. The black hair on his forehead fluttered in the wind. "Do you think I'm lying to you?"
The man was silent.
"To put it bluntly, I can guess the situation of your family just from what you're wearing. How much can you squeeze out by breaking bones and squeezing oil? Lying to you is not enough of a waste of time. "
The words were not pleasant to hear, but that was the logic.
"You should discuss it with your family. The possibility of the surgery failing is very high. If it fails, the person will die on the operating table. Whether you want to give it a try or not, you can decide for yourself. "
"To be honest, this is like trying to save a dead horse. There's a glimmer of hope no matter what." Su Yun smiled and said, "I suggest you do the surgery. Come, scan the QR code and add me as a friend. I'll send you the address. "
The man felt that Su Yun's words made sense.
However, was there such a thing as free medical treatment in the world? If it was a scientific research project according to what he said, then it was possible.
After scanning the QR code and adding him as a friend, Su Yun sent him the address.
"If you want to do the surgery, go to the hospital and look for me. As a dignified doctor from the 912, I can't be lacking in your mediocre skills, right?"
When the 912's banner was raised, the man believed it.
"If you want to do it, then hurry up. Your old man might not be able to do it at any time. Don't dawdle and discuss it for three to five days. In the end, you'll be dragged over and waiting to die. There's no need for that. "Su Yun kept telling the unpleasant truth.
The man nodded very hard.
He was a little absent-minded and confused. Sometimes, he even thought that he was dreaming. Whatever he wanted came. If this wasn't a dream, what else could it be?
If this was a dream, he hoped that he would never wake up.
"Alright, it's very late. Let's go back to sleep. When you decide, tell me on WeChat. "After Su Yun said that, he pulled Zheng Ren and turned around to leave.
In the night wind, the man watched the two leaving figures and fell into endless trouble.
"Boss, is the possibility of the surgery succeeding high?" Su Yun asked.
"Not high," Zheng Ren said. "The left ventricle is malformed and dilated. Judging from the degree of myocardial hypertrophy, cutting 350g of myocardial hypertrophy is very low. A normal heart is only a little more than 300g. If more than a heart is cut out, the postoperative care will be very difficult. "
"I just don't want to hear you say that," Su Yun said disdainfully. "Do you think you're the only one who can do it? The intensive care of our 912 is very strong. How is the liver transplant patient? After the surgery, he still recovers properly and is about to be discharged. "
Zheng Ren smiled.
"Have you calculated it? How exactly do we do the surgery?" Su Yun asked.
"M = 4.18 × R3. According to this formula … Without a transesophageal ultrasound, we can only make a preliminary judgment …"
"Boss, there's only the two of us here. Can you not f * cking talk like you're explaining the patient's condition to the patient's family?" Su Yun said unhappily.
"Cut out about 400g of myocardial hypertrophy." Zheng Ren finally gave an answer.
Su Yun confirmed his guess.
He did not calculate wrongly. 400g! Currently, the weight of myocardial hypertrophy removed by the successful left ventricular volume reduction surgery in the world was 302g.
MD! Why was it so difficult?
