Chapter 1429: Chapter 1069: No Pressure_3 Chapter 1429: Chapter 1069: No Pressure_3 Everyone was standing, including Professor Yang, and yet he was sitting. Wasn’t that quite rude? The surrounding doctors were clearly dissatisfied.
Liang Fatty noticed the look in everyone’s eyes and understood a bit, but he had no time for idle chatter. He asked the anesthesiologist about the various medication dosages, looking very serious.
“I need to keep his brain in a hibernation-induced state to prevent complications from the rabies virus affecting brain function, but not too deeply to avoid severe sequelae after the treatment,” Yang Ping explained his goal to Fatty.
“I understand, the depth must be sufficient, yet reversible.” Liang Fatty began to work intently, having entrusted the care of his father to Zhou Can. Although she was usually a bit sharp-tongued towards him, she was smart and capable, and he trusted her to handle everything well.
The current patient was like a small boat in turbulent waves, at any moment could be capsized by a giant wave.
“The brain waves show too much suppression, it’s not good, use some diuretics to promote the excretion of the medication, or else he might never wake up,” Liang Fatty didn’t notice the anesthesiologist’s expression.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, just learning from you.”
Well, since you’re Professor Yang’s preferred anesthesiologist, I can only admire you, there’s nothing else to say.
Fatty personally administered the medication, and finally, the vital signs visibly returned to normal, metabolic acidosis was corrected, and the hemolysis began to ease, with the autonomic nervous system also recovering.
One important skill of a medication expert is precision, but achieving this precision is not simply a matter of calculating formulas based on body weight. It involves considering many factors, such as the patient’s weight, metabolic level, the interaction of multiple drugs, the purpose of medication, etc. It’s like a chef cooking, to get the taste right, how much of each condiment to use is not something you can achieve by just having a scale in the kitchen.
Liang Fatty, having been long under Yang Ping’s mentorship, excelled to a level unattainable by other experts, akin to ‘a rising tide lifting all boats.’
The expert from Affiliated Hospital No. 1 was thoroughly convinced, acknowledging that this young man’s skills were probably ten years ahead of his own.
After the patient’s condition stabilized a bit, Liang Fatty sneaked into the doctor’s office. He wanted to call Zhou Can to ask about the situation but found a series of voice messages on WeChat clearly reporting the developments.
Zhou Can had found Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, and together with Director Guan from the Intervention Department, a scaffold had already been installed for his father, who was now under CCU observation with stable vital signs. Tonight, Zhou Can would stay with his mother at Sanbo Hotel. His mother had also eaten something, and Zhou Can was with her, chatting and comforting her.
“I’m sorry, Zhou Can, thanks for the trouble. I can’t leave at the moment; the patient here is very critical, and Professor Yang is also here, I must stay on guard,” Liang Fatty felt quite guilty, as he usually bickered with her, and now at a critical time, she was giving her utmost support.
On the other end was Zhou Can’s signature hearty laughter: “Just take it easy, I’ve got this here. I just went to see him again, Uncle’s vital signs are stable, Director Guan said it was timely, no major issues, he’ll be moved to a regular ward after a few days of monitoring and then discharged with medication.”
“How about I treat you to dinner in a few days, you pick the place?”
“Really, I can choose anywhere?”
“Yes!”
“Then I’ve chosen.”
“Choose freely, don’t worry about me.”
“I want to go to your house.”
“My house? No, Zhou Can, what do you mean?”
“Didn’t you say I could choose freely? I choose your house, if you disagree, forget it, who cares, you focus there, here is under my care, just treat me to a pearl milk tea.”
“Zhou Can, who said I disagreed? Come to my house for dinner, you can taste my mom’s cooking.”
“Really, you agreed? Don’t force yourself, a pearl milk tea is also fine.”
“No force, I’m willing, you must come home.”
PS: This chapter mentioned the treatment of rabies is called “Milwaukee Therapy”, created by Dr. Willoughby of Wisconsin Children’s Hospital in 2011. This method broke the iron rule of a 100% mortality rate in rabies, with the patient he saved becoming the first ever to survive rabies. This method, after further summaries by them, had a success rate of 7/48, calculating 48 people treated from 2011 to 2015, with 7 successfully saved. Although the success rate is low, compared to a 100% mortality rate, this is a significant progress. Medicine advances due to these seemingly unconventional and imaginative individuals who turn the impossible into possible. If not for these few, medicine would remain stagnant. Our country’s hospital also used this method once for a rabies patient, but after persisting in the ICU for a month, the family chose to give up. Thus, this method involves high costs due to prolonged ICU stay and requires a strong ICU medical team and a robust reserve of medications. The huge investment and low success rate have sparked controversy. In reality, many things are constrained when implemented.
