Chapter 1004: Simple and Rough Style

Human life was at stake, so Yang Ping did not waste a minute and directly called the driver to take him to the Nandu Affiliated Hospital.

Because President Ding is the vice president of Nandu Medical University, both the school and the hospital attach great importance to his diagnosis and treatment work. Professor Su has personally participated in the rescue, and the entire elite forces of Nandu First Affiliated Hospital of Neurosurgery, ICU, Neurology, etc. have all arrived at the ICU to collaborate in the rescue.

When Yang Ping arrived, Professor Su, President Rao, Director Lu of the First Affiliated Hospital of Neurosurgery, Director Wen of the ICU, and others were already in the ICU office discussing President Ding's condition.

Also present were Guan Ruyan, Ding Xinyu, and Lu Xiaolu. It was the first time that Yang Ping met Ding Xinyu, who was the daughter of President Ding and a professor of immunology at Nandu Medical University.

When Professor Su saw Yang Ping, he immediately felt at ease. He was very familiar with the scope of Yang Ping's research. Brainstem tumors were also one of Yang Ping's key research targets. Yang Ping had performed surgery on a large number of brainstem tumors and published many related papers.

Yang Ping looked at the CT scans on the reading light for a while. Lu Xiaolu had already sent these CT scans to him for review, so he didn't need to waste too much time on reading them.

"How is it, can I have emergency surgery?"

Professor Su asked, Principal Ding is now in a coma and is completely dependent on a ventilator to assist his breathing. If surgery is not possible, conservative treatment will be of no use. Surgery is the only way to relieve the pressure of the tumor and bleeding.

Nandu Medical University has strong overall strength, but its neurosurgery department is not outstanding nationwide and is far inferior to the Tiantan Hospital in the Imperial Capital and Huashan Hospital in the Magic City.

Director Lu of the First Affiliated Hospital of Neurosurgery knew that the brainstem tumor surgery like the one performed by Principal Ding was an extremely difficult surgery among brainstem tumors. As far as he knew, apart from Yang Ping and another Australian doctor who dared to perform this type of surgery, other doctors did not dare to perform this type of surgery at all.

"Emergency surgery is necessary! There is still great hope, but the risk is also great. If it fails, he may die on the operating table." Yang Ping answered very objectively.

Since there is hope, surgery should be performed, Professor Su nodded, but the final decision is made by the patient's family.

"Let's just go with conservative treatment. Surgery for this type of brainstem tumor will only make things worse. Surgery will only hasten death."

Guan Ruyan spoke as a relative of the patient. He no longer has much time to think about this. From his student days to now, every time his backer collapsed, he would choose to find a new backer without hesitation, and the sooner the better, so as not to create a vacuum period. Life is precious and time cannot be wasted.

Seeing that Guan Ruyan and Yang Ping had different opinions and did not intend to perform the operation, Principal Rao asked Principal Ding's daughter, "Xiao Ding, what do you think? We must hurry up now, as the opportunity for surgery is fleeting."

Ding Xinyu didn't have much idea at this moment. Tears were streaming down her face and her mind was in a mess. Her father had always doted on her and given her the best of everything. Now it was suddenly like this and she was very upset. So when Principal Rao asked her, she didn't know how to answer.

"It's best to hurry up and have the surgery. Once you miss the opportunity, you will regret it."

Lu Xiaolu couldn't help but express his opinion. His idea was very simple, to save Principal Ding at all costs. Without Principal Ding, he wouldn't be where he is today.

"Xiao Yang, I'll leave Principal Ding's matter to you." Professor Su made his attitude clear, which was also the attitude of the First Affiliated Hospital. If it were in the past, Professor Su would definitely call Tiantan Hospital for help and send a plane to save the patient.

There is no need to do this now. Yang Ping is here. If Yang Ping can't do anything, then the Temple of Heaven Hospital can't do anything either.

"Prepare for surgery immediately. The later you wait, the slimmer the hope." Saving lives requires every second. As the compression time increases, the brain tissue will soon become ischemic and edematous, and the compression will become more severe, forming a vicious circle. The brain stem is the center of life, so the patient's breathing and heartbeat may stop at any time. In fact, his spontaneous breathing is now very weak, and he relies entirely on the assistance of a ventilator to maintain his life.

"But - Professor Yang, this operation has a very low chance of success. It's a brainstem operation, and it's the most difficult brainstem operation. Do you want to discuss it? It's best to wait for the experts from the Temple of Heaven to come and discuss it. I've already contacted the experts from the Temple of Heaven."

In fact, on the surface, Guan Ruyan's idea seems reasonable. For such a dangerous operation, it is reasonable to ask the experts from the Imperial Capital Tiantan Hospital to come and discuss it together. However, it will take several hours for the experts from the Imperial Capital Tiantan Hospital to fly over, so it is actually very easy to make mistakes.

"It's too late, we can't wait!" Lu Xiaolu was firm in his attitude. In fact, he was just an outsider at this time, but he was eager to save people, so he completely put himself in the role of Principal Ding's relative.

The ones who can really make the decision are the couple Ding Xinyu and Guan Ruyan. Ding Xinyu is now at a loss. She is an only child and has no brothers or sisters, so she can only rely on Guan Ruyan at this time.

"Xiaolu, this is a brainstem surgery, and this type of brainstem surgery is currently rarely performed in the world, so the operation must be performed with caution. If it is not operated on, it may be possible to hold on for a while, and maybe even make it through. If the operation is performed, I am afraid that I will not survive today. I have already contacted the experts at the Temple of Heaven, and they are on their way. Let's be cautious and wait a while, Xinyu, don't you agree?"

Guan Ruyan is Principal Ding’s son-in-law. After he said that, no one else can force him to make the decision, as they are legally his family members.

Ding Xinyu also nodded in panic. Guan Ruyan's opinion was her opinion.

"You don't need to be optimistic about this. There is no hope without surgery. If there is still a glimmer of hope with surgery, you must race against time. There will be no hope if you are any later. I suggest you not to wait any longer and race against time to have emergency surgery!" Yang Ping didn't want to beat around the bush or be tactful or vague. It would be a waste of time to say any more at this time.

"If you want to save lives! If you take the risk of surgery now and wait for the experts from the Temple of Heaven to arrive, the best time for surgery will be missed, and it will be too late to save the patient. Besides, no one in the world has performed more surgeries of this kind than me, and no one has a higher success rate than me, so there is no need for you to wait for anyone." Yang Ping added.

"Professor Yang is also a top expert in this field. His surgical experience is no less than that of the experts at the Temple of Heaven. Let's hurry up."

Principal Rao urged him and he also leaned towards Yang Ping's opinion and took the risk to perform the surgery immediately.

Ding Xinshu wiped her tears and looked at Guan Ruyan. She was sad and her mind was in a mess. But after hearing what Yang Ping said, she began to lean towards surgery.

"How about performing surgery on our dad?" Ding Xinyu asked Guan Ruyan.

"Xinyu, you have to be able to distinguish this matter clearly. This is a matter of life and death. Academician Feng Tiancheng from the Magic City is the lead surgeon, and Professor Yang is the surgeon. Although the operation is likely to fail, there is no other way. If this kind of oppression is not relieved, you will die. It will take at least a few hours for the Imperial City to come here. How can you hold out that long? This is not a solution. Come up with a decision quickly."

Principal Rao urged.

Guan Ruyan looked hesitant, as if this decision was difficult to make.

"Why are you hesitating? I just want to ask you two one question - do you want to save the patient? If you want to save him, then go into surgery immediately. If you don't want to save him, then keep him in the ICU and wait for him to die. Or you can wait for anyone to come. It's not that difficult to make a decision."

Yang Ping felt that at this moment, being polite was useless and a simple and rough style was the most effective.
