I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 425 Babies are born one after another
Grace is not trying to be brave, but after careful and thorough preparation, she really has the confidence to challenge.

The child has reached a very critical moment, and it will definitely be too late to go to other places to find famous doctors.

To be honest, she didn't think that except for Zhou Qiao, other famous doctors could surpass her in the field of heart surgery.

She is a famous doctor!
Three generations of her ancestors have been famous doctors!
Even her father admitted that she had caught up and was no longer behind the old guy. Even if her father came to do the surgery himself, he couldn't say it would be 100% successful.

No one dares to say this. Unless it’s just mindless bragging!

If you are 70 or 80% sure, you can give it a try.

Grace grew up in Harvard Yard. When children of the same age were still in elementary school and junior high school, she had already participated in some research projects at Harvard Medical School and achieved amazing results.

Ever since I was little, I have received various awards.

She doesn't think she is any less talented than Murphy, Stephanie, or Nanako Chiba. The only downside may be the number of surgeries.

She has the confidence and arrogance to take on challenges. At the same time, she is not arrogant or relaxed at all. Instead, she uses the most stringent requirements and the most positive attitude to perform this operation and save little Kate's life.

He even worked overtime until late at night, repeatedly pondering and rehearsing the surgical procedures and various response plans.

Under normal circumstances, the human right coronary artery originates from the right coronary sinus above the aortic valve and supplies blood to the right atrium, right ventricle and part of the left ventricle. If the heart is compared to the engine of the human body, then coronary artery occlusion is like a blockage in an oil pipe, and the engine will be forced to reduce its speed or even stop running.

On the other hand, the pulmonary artery originates from the outlet of the right ventricle and is an important channel for blood to flow from the heart to the lungs. Pulmonary artery stenosis caused by congenital malformation causes the outlet channel of the right ventricle to be blocked and the pressure in the right ventricle to increase.

Now, little Kate is facing such a situation. The "oil pipe" of the "engine" is blocked, the outlet is also blocked, and it will " stall " soon.

If the car's engine stalls, it can be towed for repair or replacement, but once the human body's engine stalls, it means the end of life.

In order to protect little Kate's fragile heart function to the maximum extent, Grace chose the extremely difficult cardiopulmonary bypass heart beating surgery.

As mentioned before, if the heart stops beating, extracorporeal circulation can be temporarily replaced, but it will cause great damage to cardiac function. There will be many sequelae. And if it is not done well, the rejuvenation will not be successful and the operation will fail.

Grace chose the most effective right internal mammary artery bypass, which can ensure the long-term smoothness of the newly transplanted coronary artery bypass once and for all. However, this option will increase the difficulty of the operation, require the doctor's skill and level, and workload. , will be higher.

In order to prevent the recurrence of pulmonary artery coarctation caused by calcification, Grace made a list of dozens of surgical materials, repeatedly compared and pondered, kept improving, and selected the best patch...

With such an extremely serious and rigorous attitude, Grace not only wanted to perform the surgery well, but she also wanted to ensure little Kate's quality of life for decades to come, so that she would no longer be troubled by this disease.

Once and for all.

Rather than just going through another disaster in eight or nine years.

If you go to other doctors, other doctors may choose relatively easy surgeries in order to ensure the success rate of the surgery. However, there will be more sequelae, and you will have to do another surgery ten or more than ten years later.

Anyway, what does the future have to do with me? It's already good that I can save you now. I’ll earn this money first and then talk about it.

There are many, many doctors like this.

Grace is not like that.

From this point of view alone, she is a bit "silly".

But because of this "silliness", Murphy, Stephanie, and Chiba Nanako have a better impression of her. When we were discussing the surgery plan, everyone felt that this girl was really cute.

Finally, the operation began.

Park Xiuzhu and Zhang Mengjing came to help. In addition, there were also teams from community hospitals, including surgical teams, anesthesia teams, and blood transfusion teams.

This is a large operation that requires the cooperation of many people. If there is an emergency, everyone needs to participate in the rescue.

Anesthesia is completed.

Grace carefully opened little Kate's chest.

shocking.

Because, after the previous two operations, very serious adhesions had formed inside, making the operation extremely difficult.

Grace walked like a high-altitude tightrope, carefully walking through the tissue gaps in the pericardial cavity, gradually separating and exposing the important structures of the heart.

It can be said that every minute and every second is preventing the rupture of the large blood vessels of the heart.

Finally, the main pulmonary artery and the right pulmonary artery were separated and exposed...

Using artificial patches to enlarge…

Unclogging the right ventricular outlet passage...

The eleven-year-old girl has been frail and thin since she was a child. Her coronary arteries and internal mammary arteries are much thinner than those of adults, with a diameter of only about 1mm.

This difficulty is like carving patterns on tofu silk, and it is a super complex micro carving.

Free the internal mammary artery and anastomose the two with sutures that are much thinner than a hair...

Finally, perfusion of the occluded coronary arteries was restored, like "a bridge flying from north to south", and the chasm became a clear path!
That is a natural chasm that hinders the survival of life.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, shut down the extracorporeal circulation machine, and was about to call it a day, I went and an accident happened.

Little Kate's right heart function was originally incomplete. At this time, she suddenly suffered a cardiac arrest!

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats again, and the entire operating room was filled with tension again.

However, fortunately, Grace has sufficient plans. She conducted countless simulation drills last night to deal with various unexpected possibilities. Naturally, what happened now was also included in the plans.

Without any thought, Grace gave the order and quickly carried out the rescue according to the drill plan last night.

That was the most suitable plan, and every step had been carefully thought out beforehand. Finally, under Grace's leadership and with the cooperation of everyone, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest compressions, and the rapid infusion of cardiotonic and blood pressure-boosting drugs... After a series of fierce operations and a race against time to rescue, little Kate's heartbeat recovered and her blood pressure began to rise!

Little Kate survived another disaster successfully! Cheers erupted from the operating room.

Zhang Mengjing wiped her tears and cried with joy.

……

Two weeks later, little Kate was as full of life as the rising sun at eight or nine in the morning, and she was successfully discharged from the hospital!

The Bravos were beyond grateful and sent many flowers and carefully wrapped gifts.

Iris Clinic did not refuse. They are a private clinic and have a tradition of accepting thank you gifts.

Boss Zhou said that the gifts are the sincerity of the patients and their families, so everyone can accept them with confidence.

This was a thank-you gift afterward, and it had nothing to do with offering or accepting bribes.

At the request of the patient's family, Grace took a photo with them and kept a copy of the photo as a souvenir.

The clinic's copy should naturally be posted on the bulletin board.

"Grace, congratulations!" Chiba Nanako hugged Grace. From today on, Grace will truly become one of the four pillars at Iris Clinic. The portion is not light at all.

"Thank you." Grace whispered.

After her father found out, he also sent a congratulatory message from Massachusetts General Hospital, which made her very happy.

Her mother was also happy for her and sent a small gift, which was a set of cosmetics.

Her mother thinks that Grace needs to learn to put on makeup, but Grace is used to wearing no makeup and is really not used to this kind of thing.

But it was wasted by leaving it alone, and then it was given to Park Xiuzhu.

Even though Park Soo-joo is older, she still likes her very much.

Murphy and Stephanie were not in the clinic because they gave birth one after another. Now I am taking care of my children at home and doing confinement period.

There is no tradition of confinement in the United States, but Zhou Qiao is Chinese, so he strongly urged them to do confinement and gave many precautions. Both of them felt sweet in their hearts.

Just sit down, it's a novel experience.

Zhou Qiao was so ashamed that he didn't come back after the child was born.

The main thing is that we really can’t leave Africa.

Zhou Qiao finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and used the void key gifted by his aunt to open a space-time passage in the East African base.

Of course, he didn't go there in person, because there were so many talented people at the East African base that he didn't need to put himself at risk.

Now that Loya is the governor, it is not easy for her to personally take risks.

Therefore, three special teams headed by Frank, Margaret, Jiaika, etc. entered in batches. After entering, explore in three directions.

Each special team consists of twenty people and carries a variety of equipment, including drones, robot dogs, etc.

After confirming that no danger was found on the other side, the construction of the stronghold in the other world began.

Zhou Qiao also went over to guide the work from time to time.

In addition, he is the only one who can control the Void Key now. If he leaves, the space-time channel will be quickly destroyed. He has yet to find a way to permanently secure the passage.

However, there are already some clues. The exploration team found a natural crystal ore in a different world, which contains powerful energy. This energy can be used to stabilize the space-time channel.

However, the amount obtained now is not enough and more is needed.

To his surprise, the time flow rate in the other world is almost the same as that on the earth. When he returns to the earth, he will video chat with Murphy, Stephanie and the children.

Murphy gave birth to a boy, but Stephanie gave birth to a girl.

Stephanie was very upset about this and felt that she was suppressed by Murphy again. She swore that she would have five more children with Zhou Qiao, and she didn't believe she wouldn't be able to have a boy.

Fortunately, Academician Domitri didn't care about men and women, so he joined hands with Academician Xu, bought gifts, and came to visit the two children and their mother.

Since it was agreed in advance that these two children would be adopted by Academician Domitri, the names were given by the two academicians.

Naming by elders is also in line with Chinese tradition. One has the surname Cobb after Academician Domitri, and is called Sherstad Warwick Cobb; the other has the surname after Academician Xu, and is named Xu Qinyi, which means "refreshing the heart and mind, and a glance for thousands of years."

The two little babies can be said to have golden keys in their mouths even before they are born.

As for giving their children away, Murphy and Stephanie were a little bit reluctant to part with them, but not much. After all, it’s not like we can’t meet each other again in the future.

Moreover, they will give birth to many, many babies in the future, and they will really be unable to carry them all.

If you have money, leisure, excellent genes, and the best education, wouldn’t it be a pity not to have more children?
The children are still young now, so they are allowed to stay with their mother for the time being. When they are about one year old, they will be sent to Harvard Yard to be raised and educated by two top academicians.

Academician Domitri will hire a professional team for support. After all, they are old, and it will be difficult for the two of them alone to take care of the two younger ones.

With professional team support, it is much easier.

You don’t have to worry about many chores, such as feeding milk powder, changing diapers, and putting you to sleep.
