Since 1981 Health School Chapter 817

 The next day, we arrived at the entrance of the inpatient department of Yuezhong Hospital.

More than 200 reporters were waiting there, and the security had to pull a partition belt to prevent reporters from rushing out.

There are so many reporters, almost as big as national leaders, half of whom are foreign and half are reporters from domestic media. No one wants to miss these two strange patients in the Vietnam-China Hospital.

 Chen Qi and Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth were waiting at the entrance of the hospital chatting, and the other accompanying officials were also chatting about the weather in twos and threes.

 After a while, an ambulance drove in from the door of the hospital, and someone shouted:

 “Here comes, here comes the American patient.”

 As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, the scene was filled with flashing lights.

 As soon as Jamie and Lulis got out of the car, they were blinded by the flashing lights. They were a little reluctant in their hearts. Americans still pay great attention to personal privacy.

 But when I think about the agreement with the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, I can only face the reporters with a forced smile.

Subsequently, when the on-board nurse walked out of the car holding the conjoined baby, the flashlights were even brighter, and even Chen Qi on the steps covered his eyes.

I thought to myself that those celebrities are really awesome. They flashed like explosive bombs on the red carpet. These celebrities actually showed off their POSS without even blinking. Sure enough, no profession is easy.

The reporters were so excited when they saw the conjoined children getting out of the car. If the security guards hadn't blocked them with a human wall, there would have been a stampede at the scene.

Yesterday, the Mexican music tycoon was not willing to expose his daughter to reporters immediately. He only distributed a photo of the mermaid child to reporters and promised to allow reporters to take photos and interviews if the operation was successful.

 So the reporters did not interview the mermaid child herself.

But persimmons always have to be picked on the soft side. The parents of the conjoined twins, Jamie and Lolis, are just ordinary American citizens, so they were persuaded by the "New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery" to make their children public and have to accept interviews.

 If parents do not cooperate, this valuable opportunity for surgery will be lost.

 Between privacy and their son's surgery, Jamie and Lulis would of course choose to give the twins a chance to start a new life, so they agreed to be interviewed throughout the process.

This is actually unfair, because some people enjoy privileges while others can only cooperate with advertisements.

When the nurse placed the conjoined conjoined children on the prepared hospital bed and revealed the true appearance of the conjoined children, the scene was almost flooded with guns and cannons.

However, the journal is still a bit humane. At least it put a mask on the face of the two conjoined children to prevent them from being frightened by the flash.

“Oh my God, look at these two kids, their bellies are completely connected.”

“I read in the briefing that not only the bellies are connected together, but also the internal organs are shared.”

 “Wow, how do you perform this operation? Can an internal organ be divided into two?”

“That's why doctors in the United States are unwilling to take over. Only this amazing Chen from China has this ability.”

The reporters were taking pictures and talking about it, and many TV reporters started filming with the conjoined children in the background.

Doctors from the Vietnam-China Hospital also stood at the windows on the second, third and fourth floors and looked down.

Even doctors have never seen real-life conjoined twins, so they are extraordinarily novel, with each one standing on tiptoes.

The scene was as lively as Gaza, and Chen Qi was also very interested in conjoined children.

  Conjoined twins have never been discovered in China because in the past, births were all natural and required going through the birth canal.

As for the conjoined twins, they will either not come, or if they do come, two fetuses will be born at the same time. One birth canal simply does not allow two fetuses to pass through at the same time. Therefore, even if there are conjoined twins, one corpse and three lives will be lost in the delivery process.

 The first recorded conjoined twins in China were the two brothers "Zeng" and "Yin" in the early 19th century.

 The reason why their names are so strange is because their father is Chinese and their mother is of Thai-Chinese descent.

Furthermore, these conjoined twins were born in Thailand and later went to live in the United States, so strictly speaking, they only have Chinese ancestry and are not considered conjoined people from China.

The first case of conjoined twins in China was not until 2009, when a mother in Hubei successfully gave birth to a pair of ischial conjoined babies through cesarean section, named "Linglong Sisters".

These sisters were relatively lucky because they only had sciatic adhesions and their internal organs and four legs were independent, so they finally underwent separation surgery.

 But the operation was a pity. One of them got a complete skeleton and stood up, while the other was paralyzed for life.

In addition, there are rumors that in 1956, Union Hospital performed a conjoined human separation operation, but the operation failed and the patient died. However, there are no relevant papers and documents, so this matter is doubtful.

  In 2011, a pair of conjoined twins were born in Sichuan with double heads.

In addition to having two heads, the two sisters share a torso, but have two sets of spinal systems, two tracheas, two esophagus, stomach, kidneys, and only one and a half hearts. The two sisters also share a gallbladder, spleen, pelvis, bladder, Planting system.

It is a pity that these conjoined twins survived only 150 days after the hospital's full rescue efforts.

Think again about the Iranian twin sisters, the only surviving conjoined twins in the world. They sought medical treatment all over the world, but were rejected. In the end, a Singapore hospital took the risk and prepared for surgical separation, but they still died in the hospital.

It can be seen that the survival rate of conjoined twins is very low and the surgery is very complicated.

What's more, it's still only 1991, and the only person in the world who is willing to take care of conjoined twins is Chen Qi, a "second-rate doctor."

The hospital only had one minute for reporters to take photos. Once the time was up, the nurse hurriedly walked into the door of the inpatient department holding the conjoined twins, and they were quickly arranged to be admitted.

 The reporters immediately surrounded Chen Qi on the steps:

“Excuse me, Dr. Chen, are you confident in performing these two surgeries?”

 Chen Qi likes to deal with the media the most, because the media can help you brag, and as long as the red envelope is in place, you are not afraid of being criticized.

“Of course I have confidence. If I didn't have confidence, I would probably refuse surgery like other doctors, and then continue to be far ahead in my specialty and just keep my personality. Do you think that's right?

 At present, we know of no surviving patients with Mermaid Syndrome. Only a few conjoined people survived. If I refused to take action today, these two little patients might be in a life-or-death crisis and it would be difficult for them to survive. I am a doctor, and I wear a white coat. When we were studying medicine, we all swore an oath to dedicate our lives to the health of the people. In the words of our Chinese country, if I don't go to hell, who will? For the sake of my two children, I can take the risk. "

 “Okay~~~”

Several Chinese doctors in the crowd shouted, and then everyone applauded, and couldn't help but sincerely praise this fearless doctor.

 This wave of force was faked by Chen Qi.

 But there was also an American doctor who was a little unconvinced and shouted:

"Chen, your courage is very commendable, but according to the information I searched, Yuezhong Hospital has no similar treatment experience. In addition, Yuezhong Hospital has not even performed organ transplant surgery. Why do you think you can Perform these two extremely difficult surgeries.”

 Chen Qi was about to leave when he heard this question and stopped.

"Sir, if you had come to interview me 10 years ago, you would have questioned why you, Chen Qi, brought plastic surgery and burn surgery to the top in the world, and why did you bring digestive endoscopy to the top in the world? 1? Why do you become a double director of the International Medical Association?

But if you look at it now, I am a doctor who was born in China and received medical education in China. I have brought these subjects to the first place in the world. Moreover, our key gastroenterology experiment at the Vietnam Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine has proven to be the best in the world. The genetics and biobotany laboratory is also a world leader.

The gentleman next to me is Gabriel Leith, the editor-in-chief of the top international medical journal "New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery". He promised me that as long as my operation is successful, they will help us publish a special issue of the Vietnam Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in one go. 10 papers.

So you don't have to have too many doubts and guesses. The premise for me to accept these two surgeries is that I have the strength and ability. In the next few days, the most famous surgeons in the world will be watching the live broadcast. What do you think? Could it be bragging? "

The foreign reporter opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

 After all, Chen Qi's record is so impressive that he can bring an ordinary local hospital to the level of an internationally renowned hospital. If you say that Chen Qi is bragging, no one will believe it.

 Doctors are not politicians. Doctors must earn their living based on their true abilities.

 The Chinese reporters at the scene applauded enthusiastically again, and even the foreign reporters also followed suit.

 In their eyes, Chen Qi is no longer a Chinese doctor, but belongs to the world. If you are useless, you belong to your country, if you are useful, you belong to the world. The double standard is very obvious.

 Chen Qi's answer indirectly created a wave of soft advertising for Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and at the same time, it also made him personally famous all over the world.

By the time Chen Qi came to the ward, the American conjoined twins had already been put into the incubator.

The ward was full of people, and even the Mexican tycoon next door couldn't help but come over to take a look at the excitement, wanting to see whose family was worse off than his.

Seeing Dean Chen coming over, Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth helped introduce the conjoined twins to the parents:

"This is our chief surgeon this time, Mr. Chen Qi, the director of this beautiful hospital. Dr. Chen is also a director of two major international medical societies, which is very rare in the world. The most important thing is, Dr. Chen's success rate so far is 100%, without any mistakes.”

“Oh, God, Dr. Chen, you are simply a legendary saint.”

 Jamie, the father of the conjoined twins, held Chen Qi's hand tightly, feeling a little excited inside. This achievement was really brilliant.

Chen Qi thought to himself that not only am I a famous doctor, but I am also your de facto boss. The money you earn is all working for me.

“Mr. Jamie, don't worry, I will handle the separation surgery for your two children. I will not let you down.”

"thanks, thanks!"

As the irrelevant personnel left the scene, doctors from China and the United States began to communicate with patients. The doctor in charge of the conjoined twins was Dr. Osvid from Cliff Clinic.

"Chen, this is the medical record. The twins' vital signs are currently stable, and they have independent hearts, lungs and four legs. Their biggest problem now is that they share a stomach and liver. The next operation will be to separate the stomach and liver. Should we split the difference between the two, or should we use organ transplantation?”

Especially the liver. It is very difficult for a 4-month-old baby to divide the liver into two parts. At the same time, there should be no disappointment during the operation.

But Chen Qi was happy because hepatic surgery was his old specialty. This was his unknown and real specialty.

The only difficulty for Chen Qi is his stomach? If it is divided into two, should it be cut horizontally or vertically? How to reconstruct the cardia and pylorus? How to preserve stomach function?

If it is a stomach transplant, the child who has the entire stomach removed will be happy, but what about the child without a stomach?

The quality of the transplanted stomach is definitely different from the original one. It's hard to say how long it will last, not to mention the rejection reaction.

 Chen Qi thought for a while and felt that it was best for him to adopt a relatively fair method:

“My personal preference is to divide the stomach into two halves, one for each child, so as to avoid rejection after organ transplantation. However, my colleagues and I still need to discuss how this operation should be done.”

 Fortunately, the Gastroenterology Department of Yue Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital is also top-notch in the world.

After Lan Lijuan's research on Helicobacter pylori, her main research focus in recent years has been on the gastrointestinal tract. She has also published several international papers and has done more research in this area than him.

At this time, Carlos, who was watching the excitement in the corner, stopped:

“Chen, you are saying that organ transplantation will have many side effects, so organ transplantation should not be considered in the first place, right?”

Everyone turned around and saw this strange Mexican, especially Americans who looked down upon this poor neighbor the most. Jamie was about to scold him when he was suddenly pulled back and told the man's true identity.

  Jamie was stunned instantly.

Chen Qi nodded: "Yes, organ transplantation is not just surgery, but also requires a lot of auxiliary treatment with anti-ovulation drugs. The current drugs in this area still cannot achieve the desired effect."

Carlos turned his back: "Then why do you want to do an organ transplant for my daughter?"

"Because your daughter does not have these organs, she has to transplant them from others. The twins have complete organs. The only problem is that they only have one stomach and one liver, so I said that we should first consider transplanting them." Divided into two.”

“Ahem, that's it. I'm sorry, I misunderstood.”

Carlos is a reckless hero who has never gone to college, so he cannot keep up with logical thinking.

 Although he is rich and strives to look like a socialite and an upper-class person, some of his actions and thinking show his shallowness.

Chen Qi shrugged, but it was impossible to really express his contempt for the God of Wealth.

"By the way, Mr. Carlos, I have given you the list of organs I need. Are you... ready?"

Carlos patted his chest: "Get ready, our ship has docked at the nearest high seas in China, and there will be people voluntarily donating organs at any time."

Many people blinked and wondered why organ transplantation was related to ships on the high seas.
