Cao Yu thought about it and realized that made sense.
"Let’s go."
Xiao Runfang glanced at his secretary, "Let’s go over and have a look together."
With that, the group headed toward Fuwai.
The journey wasn’t far, and with Cao Yu constantly urging the driver, they arrived quickly.
Before long, they reached Fuwai Hospital.
As the Chinese Academy of Sciences Fuwai Hospital, its developnt in cardiothoracic and vascular fields is quite advanced.
Soon, the team headed directly to the vascular surgery departnt.
At that mont, in the large office, there were over a dozen people gathered.
Seeing Cao Yu and Xiao Runfang and their group enter, everyone nodded and didn’t say much.
"Director Qi, this is Chen Cang."
Qi Nan’s eyes widened when he heard Chen Cang had arrived, and he spoke in a deep male voice, "Professor Chen, hello!"
Chen Cang nodded, "Hello, Director Qi!"
Without wasting much ti, Qi Nan continued, "Sikong, please brief Professor Chen on the patient’s condition."
Chen Cang brightened up upon hearing the na Sikong.
Isn’t this the sa Sikong who had previously competed with him in the Cardiac Technology Skills Competition?
And also a colleague of his ntor!
Sikong smiled and nodded upon seeing Chen Cang again.
Then, he projected the patient’s case file on the large screen and began the briefing.
"Patient: Male, 76 years old... Extracorporeal vascular tumor... The current situation is this: Last year, after consulting with an Arican interventional surgery expert, it was recomnded to block the blood vessels of the aneurysm via endovascular catheter, and then, simultaneously insert a fiber optic cable into the aneurysm to use laser therapy to destroy the tumor."
"At that ti, the results were remarkable, and indeed achieved good therapeutic effect. Although the growth of the tumor was inhibited, and the tumor tissue was sowhat damaged, the skin over the aneurysm beca very fragile, circulation was poor, and after piercing for the fiber optic insertion, the skin ruptured and grew very slowly, making it difficult for the wounds to heal."
After Sikong’s detailed briefing, Chen Cang was constantly pondering how to address the issue, but after a mont, he decided to see the patient.
"Director Qi, let go see the patient!"
Qi Nan nodded and led Chen Cang towards a VIP ward.
Upon entering, Chen Cang saw an elderly man leaning on a crutch with one hand, without pants on, wearing a large hospital gown covering his lower body. With the other hand, he was holding a pen, scribbling on a drawing board, mumbling occasionally.
Chen Cang looked at the incomprehensible complex formulas on the wall, stunned for a mont.
"Mr. Zhu, why are you up again? You should rest well."
Upon seeing the elderly man, Director Qi was both amused and exasperated.
At this ti, the elderly man turned around and, seeing so many people, laughed, "Hehe, I’m afraid I might leave too quickly and not leave anything behind..."
His words made everyone pause for a mont.
Chen Cang also saw the elderly man’s face, his eyes clear, almost unbefitting for his age, more personable than in photos, especially when smiling, leaving a good impression!
However, the vascular tumor swelling on his backside, resembled... a terrifying monster, and Chen Cang could even see the tumor’s pulsating movent.
Qi Nan looked at the elderly man and couldn’t help but say, "Alright, Mr. Zhu, don’t worry."
As he spoke, Qi Nan helped the elderly man onto the bed to lie down.
"Here, we invited a specialist to take a look at your condition."
The elderly man nodded and smiled cheerfully.
It seed that smile was etched onto his face.
The tumor was large, the blood vessel patterns were noticeably red.
Chen Cang felt a bit tense looking at it!
The elderly man couldn’t lie flat or walk fast as bleeding could occur at any ti.
Not wearing pants, Qi Nan told everyone else to leave, leaving only Chen Cang and Qi Nan, along with Liu Zhizhou in the room.
Both of them were departnt heads, one from vascular surgery, and the other from cardiothoracic surgery.
Seeing this, the elderly man shook his head with a smile, "You folks, so old-fashioned, it doesn’t bother , why does it bother you?"
"As long as I’m alive, those young people might gain so insight."
"Professor Chen, you are truly young! Keep it up, in the future... contribute to the nation."
For so reason, those words that used to seem cliché or even amusing to Chen Cang, today felt different.
To contribute to the nation.
Gently placing his hand on the vascular pulse to feel it.
He remained silent for a long ti.
The tumor was extensive, affecting a broad area.
When Liu Zhizhou handed over the dical images, Chen Cang realized the issue was more challenging than he thought!
The basketball-sized tumor was only the visible part on the surface of the buttocks, it had even grown internally, including around the intestines, genitals, and inside the abdominal cavity.
Moreover, inside the tumor, due to disordered vascular structure, the blood flowed in but not out, accumulating more and more, and every day, the vascular tumor’s surface skin could be seen pulsing due to high tension, pulsating.
One day unexpectedly, there could be a skin rupture, bursting like a balloon, each instance leading to massive bleeding.
Leaving the ward, after joining the expert team, Chen Cang resud discussions.
The conclusion was: "The surgery risk is extrely high, prepare ntally for the possibility of failure!"
During the midday break, Chen Cang dined with Cao Yu and Qi Nan.
When Chen Cang asked about the family.
Cao Yu suddenly said, "Professor Zhu has never been married, in his youth, he was considered a freak because of his tumor."
"Dedicated his whole life to scientific endeavors, he is now our nation’s top scientist in nuclear physics."
"Due to confidentiality, little is known outside."
Hearing this, Chen Cang couldn’t help but sigh.
He dedicated his life to the nation, in his old age, the nation should protect him.
After eating, Cao Yu’s phone rang.
After the call, Cao Yu said to Chen Cang, "Professor Zhu wants to see you alone."
Chen Cang was taken aback, "See ?"
...
Upon returning to the room, the elderly man was still standing as when Chen Cang first t him.
The two looked at each other for a while before starting to chat. The elderly man seed sowhat distracted. After a mont, he suddenly said, "Professor Chen... I’d like to live one more year."
Chen Cang was startled, "One year?"
The elderly man nodded earnestly, "I... I’m not ready to die."
Saying "die" was spoken candidly by the elderly man.
Like most people, facing death unprepared.
The elderly man continued, "I still have so things to pass on to the nation, the last research is about to see results."
He spoke with a touch of sadness, "Give one more year, I will surely achieve results!"
"I... really don’t want to leave like this!"
Speaking with such, the elderly man’s voice turned sorrowful.
Before others, he always wore a smile, now at this mont, he was tearful.
His only lingering attachnt was... to offer his final research results to the nation!
