Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 546 - 422: Inactivation and Reimplantation of Autolo

"Will the bone still be alive after taking it out for treatnt and putting it back?"

Wu’s father asked with so confusion and apprehension.

"Generally speaking, for extinguishing tumor cells in isolated bone, there are thods such as liquid nitrogen, hypertonic saline, and microwave, but these thods cause significant damage to the remaining normal bone cells."

"Recently, the dical departnt at Yanjing University acquired a heavy ion proton instrunt that can be used to precisely eliminate tumor cells. If combined with these treatnts, the chance of survival for the transplanted remaining normal bone becos relatively high. Of course, with this experintal treatnt, no one can guarantee a hundred percent success."

Zhao Heng explained.

Upon hearing this, Wu’s father was not the only one stunned by the ntion of heavy ion protons; even the resident, trainee, and intern doctors were bewildered.

"Director Zhao, could you please explain it again?"

Wu’s father continued, impressed by the thods used by the director, thods that tumor doctors he had seen previously had never ntioned.

This reignited so hope in Wu’s father’s heart.

"Heavy ions and protons are both particle beams, different from traditional photon beams. Particle beams can form an energy Bragg peak that allows concentrated blasting of the tumor, reducing damage to healthy tissue cells."

"Put simply, the previous tumor treatnts were like carpet bombing with bombers, while heavy ion and proton therapy is akin to precision strikes with guided missiles."

Zhao Heng tried to explain in the simplest terms.

When protons or carbon ions are accelerated to about 70% of the speed of light via a synchrotron, these ion beams are directed into the human body. Before reaching the tumor site, little radiation energy is released, but once at the site, a significant amount of energy is released instantaneously, creating an energy release trajectory known as the ’Bragg peak.’ The entire treatnt process can be likened to ’stereotactic blasting’ targeting the tumor, removing the maximum number of tumor cells while minimizing damage to normal tissues.

"Director Zhao, can this treatnt really avoid amputation?"

Wu’s father couldn’t help asking.

He knew that for his daughter, the most unacceptable thing was amputation.

"This thod avoids amputation, but since it’s still in the experintal stage, it’s uncertain whether it will succeed."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Dad, I want this treatnt."

Before Wu’s father could speak, the young girl Wu Yiming said determinedly. For a girl in her pri, especially a top national skiing athlete, amputation was too cruel.

One could say she would rather die than be amputated!

"Director Zhao, we’ll entrust this to you. No matter the outco, we’re willing to give it a try."

Upon hearing his daughter’s words, Wu’s father made up his mind. Since his daughter didn’t want amputation, there was no way he could bear to see her lose a leg.

"The surgery will require so preparation ti; during this period, it’s good to maintain a calm mindset and take care of your health as best as possible."

Zhao Heng said.

"Okay, we understand, Director Zhao."

Wu’s father nodded; clearly, he was well-acquainted with the world and understood that they could only try their best in such situations. At least, while other tumor doctors had no solutions, Zhao Heng proposed a new treatnt thod here.

Having hope is good. Wu’s father could only feel this way now.

At this mont, the residents, trainees, and intern doctors standing behind looked at Zhao Heng with admiration in their eyes.

Previously, these new young doctors may have doubted the capabilities of the equally young Zhao Heng, but now those doubts were completely dispelled.

The treatnt plan Zhao Heng ntioned, combining the two thods, was sothing they had never even heard of.

Outside the ward, Liu ng, who was by Zhao Heng’s side, suddenly said worriedly, "Director, borrowing that heavy ion proton therapy machine from Yanjing University won’t be easy. A previous patient from the oncology departnt wanted to try this treatnt but couldn’t schedule it."

"No problem, I have so connections at Yanjing University."

Zhao Heng said.

"Right, it’s Professor Li Hongwei. How could I forget that?"

Liu ng suddenly rembered that Zhao Heng and Professor Li Hongwei had co-developed siRNA colloid beams. Their relationship was quite extraordinary. For others, borrowing the heavy ion proton therapy machine might be extrely difficult, but for Professor Li Hongwei, the Vice President of Yanjing University, it was just a matter of saying the word.

"Soon, the candidates from the open recruitnt will arrive."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

"I heard there are four candidates this ti, are they coming together?"

Liu ng asked.

"Not four. All those who pass the written test will co to work in the departnt for a short period as a trial, and then four will be chosen based on their performance."

Zhao Heng corrected Liu ng.

"Was this the director’s suggestion to the hospital?"

Liu ng figured this must have been proposed by Zhao Heng to the hospital. Zhao Heng, being such a young talent, highly valued efficiency and capability, naturally did not want people who excelled in exams but lacked ability.

Even though now dical PhDs, graduate, and doctoral courses are mostly completed in hospitals, essentially involving clinical exposure,

in reality, individuals have different focal points, and so people’s clinical skills truly leave much to be desired.

"The departnt is about to expand further, urgently needing a group of people with practical working capability. If a few co in who only have high expectations but low skills, it’s better not to recruit them."

Zhao Heng said.

Though the words might sound harsh, that’s the reality. Given the fierce competition nowadays, almost all industries demand people who can start working imdiately. No one has the resources or ti to slowly train newcors.

Take the residents, trainees, and intern doctors for example; up to now, Zhao Heng still hadn’t discovered anyone worth focusing on for intensive training.

"That’s true."

Liu ng nodded in complete agreent; given the severe internal competition, there is a sense of urgency, leaving no ti for gradual nurturing.

Leaving the ward, Zhao Heng headed to the oncology departnt.

In the oncology departnt’s doctor’s office, Zhao Heng shared his idea of autologous inactivated tumor bone replantation and heavy ion proton therapy with Li Haiyang, whose eyes instantly lit up.

"How do you always co up with so many solutions?"

Li Haiyang asked, admiringly looking at Zhao Heng. As a doctor, Zhao Heng’s flexible and keen thinking was sothing he envied the most.

"They just co to mind, it’s no big deal."

Zhao Heng said nonchalantly.

"Maybe that’s what being a genius is. But that heavy ion proton therapy apparatus at Yanjing University is quite precious. Last ti, one of my patients wanted to use it but couldn’t get a slot. When they finally did, a component was broken, and they had to wait for the factory to send a replacent."

Li Haiyang sighed.

Currently, there is still a significant gap between dostic and international advanced dical equipnt. Take this cutting-edge heavy ion proton therapy machine, for example—it’s only available through import and people only teach you how to use it.

As for understanding the specific principles or manufacturing thods, sorry, that’s a strictly guarded business secret that shouldn’t be expected to be revealed; after all, it’s their bread and butter.

"I’ll contact Professor Li Hongwei. It shouldn’t be too difficult."

Zhao Heng said.

"That’s the advantage of having connections."

Li Haiyang said enviously.

Though he could be said to be a significant insider at Eastern Hospital, mainly because his teacher was the hospital’s director,

this was sothing he had earned after working with his teacher for over a decade, unlike Zhao Heng, who seed to progress as if he were on a plane.

"When it’s ti for surgery, it will be necessary for you to be the main surgeon."

Zhao Heng said casually.

Even though he could perform the tumor surgery, it was apparent that Li Haiyang was also highly skilled in this area, and extracting a tumor bone wasn’t particularly difficult.

"Sure, no problem, I’d love to."

Li Haiyang replied with a smile, he knew Zhao Heng approached him because of his inclusive nature, not being one to hog opportunities.

This experintal surgery, especially in the oncology specialty, was a rare and valuable opportunity for an oncologist like Li Haiyang.
