Chapter 1031 Medical Student Accompanying

"Old buddy, why are you so weak? You made such a big fuss just by sending a banner." Mannstein sat beside the bed and picked up the MRI film, looking at it in the sunlight coming through the window.

Such a huge lumbar disc herniation is extremely rare, and second-degree lumbar spondylolisthesis also exists.

"It's old, and its parts are badly worn out. What can we do? Elsa, please take care of it these days." Brian sighed.

Mannstein comforted him and said, "Don't worry, we have doctors and nurses here."

"You have to think it over carefully. If you really don't want to have the surgery here, don't force yourself. I can send you back to Sweden." Mannstein needed to make his words clear, lest his old friend be unhappy and regret it later.

Brian immediately said, "I've already thought about it. I'll definitely have the surgery here. Where else can the medical skills be better than here? I've seen the level of those masters in Sweden before."

"Okay, your surgery has been scheduled. It will be done tomorrow morning. With this pain pump, you can sleep well tonight." Mannstein stayed by Brian's bedside. He had found a caregiver for Brian, who was a medical student at Nandu Medical University and was now in his senior year of undergraduate studies.

The young man speaks very good English, so he applied for hourly care here. This kind of care is not ordinary, the lowest price is 20 US dollars per hour. Bedridden patients like this need 24-hour care, which is 480 US dollars a day, converted into RMB, several thousand a day. Many students from poor families are scrambling to come here to do this kind of high-end temporary care, anyway, they can take a few days off and it won't affect their studies.

Therefore, the Institute of Surgery has not only driven the academic development of the entire Nandu Medical University, but also promoted the economic development of the entire system, allowing some students who usually have financial difficulties to find many part-time jobs.

For example, in the stem cell laboratory, the fees paid by Ivan alone are over 10 million US dollars a year. The digital medical laboratory is learning how to operate stem cell experiments and is also preparing to use its own technology to make money, and then feed back into scientific research to form a virtuous circle.

Brian's surgery was not a major one, and it was done very quickly the next day. This gentleman did not expect to experience a complete medical treatment process in China, and the experience was great, but the process was a bit too fast, which made him very uncomfortable. After all, in Sweden, even for a professor like him, it is impossible to schedule a surgery so quickly. Their surgeons may only perform one operation in the morning, and there are only two or three operations a day. In any case, it is impossible to do more than ten operations a day like here.

In order to thoroughly experience the medical treatment process in China, Brian requested to stay in a triple room, which is an ordinary ward for three people. There is a curtain between each bed. It is relatively crowded and noisy, but it is actually okay. It is hospitalization, not hotel. The most important thing is good medical skills and good surgical results. Otherwise, what is the point of a five-star hotel.

The student caregivers from Nandu Medical University have already taken up their posts. In fact, being a caregiver for such patients is not hard at all. The main job is to turn the patient over, feed him, and sometimes wipe his body. As for defecation, there is usually no defecation on the day of the operation. Even if there is defecation on the second day, the patient is allowed to go to the toilet by himself with the help of the caregiver, with a urine bag hanging on his back. At most, he can help the nurse to record the amount of urine.

The rest of the time I just sit by the bed and watch. If the injection is finished, I turn off the infusion device and press the bell to call the nurse.

In this way, student nurses can enter the ward in advance to contact patients and understand their many difficulties, while also becoming familiar with the many hardships of medical staff. It can be regarded as an alternative internship.

Maninstein bought two fruit baskets, one for the nurse and one for the doctor. With August's guidance, he was very familiar with doing these things. However, in the past few days, August had not been able to sleep well because of him. He was often woken up in the middle of the night.

Yang Ping felt bad holding the banner sent by Brian, because the banner had caused him to have surgery in China. But it was okay, as the surgery was inevitable, and if it fell into the hands of someone else, the surgical effect would not be so good.

Brian is a Nobel Prize winner. Yang Ping will not let him stay here in vain. He must tap his value. He is a world-class professor of immunology. Currently, a large part of Lu Xiaolu's tumor laboratory research involves immunology. It is a good opportunity for Lu Xiaolu to communicate with him more. It is also possible for other students to contact him and broaden their horizons.

Academics must communicate more to make progress and broaden their thinking. Why was academic so prosperous during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods when hundreds of schools of thought were contending? It was because people walked around all day, bragging and discussing ideas together. Bragging and discussing ideas are actually exchanges and debates. New ideas pop up as you talk. Sometimes others are good at what you have been struggling to break through. What you have been researching for a long time may have been a dead end that others have tried.

In fact, the value of publishing papers now is not only to record scientific research results, but the most important thing is to let people all over the world see these results. This is another form of communication.

Yang Ping strives to create an environment for communication and keep his team at the forefront of the world. Although Yang Ping has a system, the system cannot give imagination, it is just a tool. To maintain curiosity and imagination, we must constantly contact the outside world and get in touch with new things.

When Yang Ping came over for the first postoperative ward round, the young man accompanying him was extremely excited as his idol was now standing in front of him.

"How is the postoperative drainage?" Yang Ping originally wanted to ask the doctor in charge, but the doctor was busy and the data he got was two hours ago, so he had to pick up the drainage ball hanging beside the bed and then look at the record on the nursing sheet hanging on the bed.

The young man casually said the latest drainage volume: "It has only been 10 ml since the operation, and it has not been poured out."

"Does it still hurt after the operation? How are the sensations and muscle strength in your limbs?" Yang Ping asked while examining.

"I just checked, and the muscle strength and sensation in my lower limbs are normal." The medical student accompanying me was so active that he answered first.

Li Guodong, the attending ward, took a look at him and thought that this boy was a little too enthusiastic, but he was quite good. He was so studious in his senior year and had already mastered the physical examination of the neurological system.

After Yang Ping personally checked the patient, he found that the sensation and muscle strength of both lower limbs were normal, indicating that the effect of the anesthetic had worn off and there was no nerve damage after the operation.

The young man who served as the caregiver actually had his own little plans in mind. He was not just here to make money, but to take this opportunity to infiltrate the surgical research institute and build relationships with these teachers.

As I often work as a caregiver here, I naturally became familiar with all the teachers. Over time, everyone is my connection, so it becomes much easier to be admitted as a graduate student here.

If he gives people a good impression of being hardworking and diligent during this period, the teacher will definitely be willing to accept him as long as he can pass the test in the future.

This guy is a smart guy and he made plans in advance.

"Can you do physical examinations?" Yang Ping didn't know that he was a senior student at Nandu Medical University.

"He is a senior clinical medicine student at Nandu Medical University. He was sent here by the work-study program there to serve as our caregiver." Li Guodong explained quickly.

"To be a caregiver, you have to be able to endure hardship and not be afraid of dirt, especially when accompanying orthopedic patients. Turning them over, urinating and defecating, etc. are all quite tiring." Yang Ping said a few words by the way.

Yang Ping wanted to see the urine volume, and the student accurately reported the urine volume, but Yang Ping still checked and calculated it himself.
