Chapter 140, Consultation (asking for monthly ticket)
October 9, 1958, the 27th day of the eighth lunar month.

It was early in the morning and it was still dark outside. Inside the Su Mansion on Jiaodaokou North Second Street, the kerosene lamp was on, but the light was blocked by thick curtains.

From the outside, there was no light in the house.

Su Yuanfu had made preparations for this transaction early on and would definitely not encounter any accidents.

The total weight of the gold is quite large. Zhao Mancang has confirmed that it is a full 51,000 grams.

Calculated based on the domestic bank gold purchase price of three yuan per gram, the total amount is one hundred and fifty-three thousand yuan.

If Su Yuanfu wants to exchange the gold for US dollars, Zhao Mancang will need to pay 25,500 US dollars in cash.

By this time, Zhao Mancang had already taken out US$51,500.

Zhao Mancang could feel that the other party definitely still had a lot of gold in his hands, but he would definitely not take it out for exchange.

Zhao Mancang took a look at the antique and found that it was not a very fine piece.

Su Yuanfu must be a master of antiques. Zhao Mancang has increased his skills through the system, so his eyesight is not bad.

Since he knew that these antiques were ordinary, Zhao Mancang did not bid high, and it could even be said to be very low.

Su Yuanfu was so conflicted when he heard this.

After some bargaining, seeing that Zhao Mancang was unwilling to raise the price, Su Yuanfu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and finally made the deal.

Once you miss this opportunity, you will never find this shop again.

Obviously Su Yuanfu understood this principle clearly. In order to sell it out as soon as possible, he would sell it at a lower price.

"Comrade Li, do you have any extra US dollars?"

The transaction was almost completed at this point, but Su Yuanfu was still a little unwilling and asked a question.

Zhao Mancang looked up with a puzzled look on his face:

"Comrade Su, do you have any gold to exchange?"

"No, no, I want to ask you, what do you think of my house? And the car at the door."

"I don't want houses and cars. These things are hard to sell." Zhao Mancang shook his head when he heard this.

Good guy, he is not a real middleman.

Houses in Beijing are not valuable in this era, even before the 1990s.

There is no benefit in speculating on this house.

The reason why Zhao Mancang bought the courtyard house near the Friendship Hotel was because it was related to foreign affairs!

Any unit involved in foreign affairs will be cautious and dare not act rashly even if the Siberian cold wind passes through.

The house in Su Mansion is too conspicuous. Not to mention the neighbors, it is probably also well-known in the street office.

Once Zhao Mancang takes over this house, he will inevitably be investigated. At that time, even if Zhao Mancang is wearing a vest, he will be exposed more quickly.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang would never touch the houses, especially the houses where these capitalists had lived.

Besides, Zhao Mancang might even move to Hong Kong Island to hide for a while, so it’s impossible for him to dig a hole for himself.

Su Yuanfu couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard this.

Although houses and cars are not worth much, even the smallest bit of money still counts. He thought about selling the cars and houses so that he could get some more dollars in his hands.

You know, their whole family is preparing to move out. When they are outside and unfamiliar with the place, they won't be so nervous if they have money in their hands.

"If you have any extra US dollars, Comrade Li, I have a friend who would like to exchange some for US dollars. Please take a look."

Zhao Mancang shook his head and said:

"Forget it today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

After agreeing on the trading time and place for tomorrow, Zhao Mancang left first.

Seeing Zhao Mancang lift 51,000 grams of gold effortlessly, Su Yuanfu opened his mouth in surprise.

You have to know that this is 102 kilograms of gold, but Zhao Mancang picked it up casually, looking effortless, which made Su Yuanfu think that the gold weighed only two kilograms.

But he took out the gold himself, and Zhao Mancang also weighed and checked it.

It is absolutely real gold.

In this case, there is only one truth, that is, Zhao Mancang is really strong.

Zhao Mancang had no idea how much of a shock the scene of him casually picking up 102 kilograms of gold had given Su Yuanfu. He only knew that he had indeed made a lot of money this time.

After leaving Jiaodaokou North Second Street, Zhao Mancang did not go home directly, but went to Andingmen Pigeon Market on the way.

At this time, he only had 15,000 US dollars in cash, but he also had more than 80,000 US dollars in foreign currencies such as British pounds, Canadian dollars, and rubles.

These foreign currencies are the same for Run people.

In addition to the 109 large yellow croakers and 5 small yellow croakers he had caught before, as well as the antique jewelry he had previously obtained from Li Jiping and other tomb raiders, the gold in his hands was the 51,000 grams of gold he had collected today.

However, the 260,000 yuan in hand should be spent in a timely manner.

It is useless to keep money in your hands. Money should be exchanged for resources to maximize benefits.

So, when Zhao Mancang arrived at the pigeon market in Andingmen, he went straight to the middlemen dealers.

"Hello, comrade. Do you have rice, flour, cornmeal, sweet potatoes, or other grains? I need as much as I can get."

Two hundred and sixty thousand yuan can be exchanged for a lot of grain, which can maximize profits in the following year.

Zhao Mancang's actions seem to be somewhat like making money from the national crisis, but he is not a capitalist who has completely lost his conscience and reason, so it is naturally impossible for him to make money from the national crisis.

Chu Qingsong, Deng Zhiyong, Li Erzhu and other second-hand dealers were all shocked when they heard this.

"Comrade, how much food do you want? One hundred kilograms or five hundred kilograms?"

"Yes, you can charge whatever you want. To be honest, we have no idea."

"How about you tell me exactly how many pounds of food you need? I'll round it up for you!"

The middlemen reacted quickly and started asking detailed questions. They were all very excited because this represented a big deal.

As long as it is a transaction, for middlemen, it is money.

Zhao Mancang immediately slapped them twice. He originally wanted to say 100,000 jin, but they thought it was 10,000 jin and they all gasped.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Zhao Mancang rationally did not mention the matter of the 100,000 kilograms.

It’s better to take it slow. Otherwise, if you rush into things, problems may easily arise.

In the next half hour, Zhao Mancang purchased a total of 200 kilograms of grain.

There is more food, but we will have to wait a few days.

Because of the large amount of food, people like Chu Qingsong need time to prepare it.

In addition to grain, Zhao Mancang also asked middlemen where to buy fruit trees.

In order to have a taste of the delicious roast goose, Zhao Mancang must buy fruit wood.

In fact, apart from the Pigeon Market, you can go to restaurants like Bian Yi Fang to ask, but people nowadays are very particular about their own things and will definitely not tell him about the fruit trees.

So, it’s easier to ask in Pigeon City.

And to his surprise, he quickly bought two bundles of applewood.

After finishing today's transactions, Zhao Mancang returned home.

At the steel plant, Zhao Mancang was very relaxed today and did not encounter any trouble.

It was an ordinary day, spent in a mixture of busyness and slacking off.

On the way home, Zhao Mancang took out two bundles of apple wood on the way.

At the doorstep, when Lin Huijun saw the two bundles of firewood tied to his bicycle, she was confused for a moment.

Why buy firewood? We already have honeycomb briquettes at home. Firewood produces thick smoke, and the use of firewood has long been discouraged in cities.

"These are applewoods. They're not the firewood we normally use for cooking. They're the kind of fruitwood used for roasting duck and goose. The roasted goose and duck cooked this way are so fragrant and delicious that they linger in your mouth."

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Lin Huijun's saliva immediately flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were bright:

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. Come on, help us so we can have dinner tonight."

Zhao Mancang took the little girl Lin Huijun and started busying himself in the front yard.

The oven is very simple. You can just build a new one using the bricks left over from the previous renovation.

This is actually very simple. Zhao Mancang had already done part of it last night and this morning. Now he just needs to do some simple finishing work.

Soon, the oven took shape.

On the other side, Lin Huijun was busy boiling water in the kitchen so that she could kill the goose and eat the meat.

Just when Zhao Mancang and the others were busy plucking the swan's feathers, Lin Wan finally came back.

"You guys killed the goose so quickly? Oh, and the oven is ready too. You're really efficient!"

With Lin Wan's participation, the process of making roast goose tonight was instantly sped up a lot.

After cleaning the roast goose, Zhao Mancang rubbed it with salt and spices, then put it into the oven and started roasting.

Because this was his first time, Zhao Mancang stayed by the oven and slowly added apple wood.

Lin Huijun, the little greedy cat, also didn't go anywhere and stayed by his side the whole time.

Only Lin Wan, seeing that there was nothing for her to do, went to the backyard to busy herself with cutting clothes.

After an hour and a half, the roast goose had become very fragrant, but at this time, it was definitely not cooked yet.

Because this is a 16-pound swan, which is also a big one among all goose breeds.

The Lionhead goose is one of the largest goose breeds in the world. An adult gander can weigh ten to twelve kilograms, while a female goose weighs around eight to ten kilograms.

Large waterfowl such as swans generally weigh around seven to twelve kilograms.

The swan captured by Zhao Mancang and his team weighed 16 kilograms of feathers. Even after removing the feathers and internal organs, it still weighed 12.6 kilograms.

A swan this heavy would take at least two hours to roast.

In order to eat delicious roast goose, Zhao Mancang could only roast it slowly over low heat without rushing.

"are you hungry?"

"Dad, I'm not hungry."

As soon as Lin Huijun finished speaking, her stomach started to growl, which made Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan burst into laughter, and the little greedy cat also laughed shyly.

Time flies, and at about nine o'clock, the roast goose was finally ready.

When the fragrant roast goose was taken out of the oven, Dahei and Xiaohei couldn't help jumping up and down, and their tails were shaking rapidly like helicopter propellers.

"Began to eat!"

Following Zhao Mancang's voice, the roast goose was quickly divided up, and then everyone picked up a part of the roast goose and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

There is no staple food, just a roast goose, which you can eat as much as you want.

In this era, it is really rare to find a family that can eat only meat without staple foods.

Just when Zhao Mancang and his family of three were enjoying their roast goose, Dahei suddenly roared at the gate, followed by Xiaohei's barking.

The two wolfhounds sounded very angry, probably because someone knocked on the door while they were eating and annoyed them.

"Dahei goes to the shutter."

Zhao Mancang gave the order, and he himself walked straight to the door with the roasted goose wings.

Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter, shared the goose legs, while Zhao Mancang took both wings.

Originally, Lin Wan and Lin Huijun were not happy with this distribution plan because they thought that Zhao Mancang would suffer a great loss if the distribution was made in this way.

But Zhao Mancang was so "domineering", so they had no choice but to accept it.

In fact, Zhao Mancang really prefers to eat poultry wings. Although the meat in this part is not as good as that in the legs, it tastes better.

Why are chicken wings so expensive in later generations?
This is not unreasonable!

Two uninvited guests came to the door, a man and a woman.

"Hello, comrade, sorry to bother you. We live next door to you. It's so late, and we can smell the delicious roast duck coming from your house. I'd like to ask if you could sell us some?"

Yu Ziliang asked with a smile.

He is thin and hasn't eaten meat for a long time, but today he couldn't help it.

The woman next to him was his wife Jiang Chuanmei. The couple had the audacity to knock on Zhao Mancang's door because their child was crying for meat.

Speaking of which, Zhao Mancang has moved to Zhongguancun South Street for more than a month, and this is his first time interacting with the neighbors nearby.

Zhao Mancang had heard his mother-in-law talk about Yu Ziliang, a neighbor who lived nearby. He was an employee of a foreign-related unit, but his mother-in-law didn't know what his specific position was.

"Come in please come in!"

Zhao Mancang was stunned for a moment, then he took the initiative to invite Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei in.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei thanked him repeatedly and walked in stiffly.

In the yard, Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter, had already stood up.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei's eyes kept glancing at the roast goose on the table. Under the dim light of the two kerosene lamps, it looked really huge.

The couple couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Fragrant!

The legs and wings had been divided up by Zhao Mancang and his family of three, leaving only the entire frame, goose head, and neck.

The swan weighs 12.6 kilograms and is very big.

Although this is not a farmed swan, it can grow to a weight of 16 kilograms, so it is impossible for it to be completely without fat.

The swan is full of fat and your mouth is filled with fragrance when you take a bite.

Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei spent their own money, without any meat or grain coupons, to buy three pounds of goose meat.

In fact, Zhao Mancang didn't want to charge any money, after all, he was a neighbor.

However, Yu Ziliang just stuffed the money into his hands, leaving him no way to refuse.

Although it was only their first meeting, Zhao Mancang knew that Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei were neighbors worth interacting with.

They were very sincere and explained that the child was greedy and crying. They also said that the roast goose made by Zhao Mancang's family was so delicious and tempting that they couldn't help but come to disturb them.

Yu Ziliang has three children, their names are Yu Yuanxu, Yu Shulan and Yu Shumeng. Among these three children, Lin Huijun only knows Yu Shumeng.

"Comrade Zhao, Comrade Lin, thank you!"

Yu Ziliang and his wife left Zhao Mancang's house with many thanks. When they were almost at their own door, Jiang Chuanmei said with emotion:

"I didn't expect our new neighbor to be a doctor. They're also a dual-income family, but their salary is much higher than ours. No wonder they have a dog."

The reason why Jiang Chuanmei was so emotional was naturally because of Zhao Mancang's position.

During the conversation just now, Zhao Mancang did not tell the specific doctor's rank, but just mentioned it briefly.

Yet this is no secret.

Ever since Zhao Mancang moved to Zhongguancun South Street, Yu Ziliang and Jiang Chuanmei had both briefly inquired about their new neighbor.

Therefore, they naturally knew how much Zhao Mancang's salary was.

You don’t know until you get to know someone, and you’ll be shocked when you do.

The two wolfhounds raised by Zhao Mancang were so powerful that they could catch a swan weighing more than ten kilograms. This ability was incredible. No wonder Zhao Mancang and his family of three did not eat staple food and only ate meat.

Who wouldn't like such a good dog? Who would still want to eat staple food?
"Of course, they only have one child and don't need to support the elderly, so of course it's easier."

Yu Ziliang echoed.

When I pushed the door open and went in, the three children in the yard were already impatient.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will be filled with a joyful atmosphere.

That night, Zhao Mancang ate very well and was very happy. He didn't fall asleep until almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

He went to bed late, so he didn't get up early the next morning to buy food.

At the steel plant, at 8:50 in the morning, Zhao Mancang completed his work on time.

Just when he was about to relax, someone from Peking University People's Hospital came and hoped that he could go over to help with the joint consultation.

Feng Changfu came personally to invite Zhao Mancang and mentioned a major operation related to heart repair surgery. The patient this time was also a very important professor, so he could not be careless.

Zhao Mancang had no choice. As a doctor, he could not refuse such an invitation.

More than a month ago, on August 30th, Zhao Mancang performed an operation on Ji Bojun, a driver engineer at the Beijing Electronic Tube Factory.

At that time, an accident occurred at the Beijing Electron Tube Factory, which caused three experts, Ji Bojun, Dong Qingfeng and Dai Chunzu, to suffer extremely serious injuries.

Among them, Ji Bojun, an engineer and associate professor at Beijing University of Mining and Technology, was the most seriously injured and was almost on the verge of death.

It was because of Zhao Mancang's intervention that Ji Bojun and the other three were able to escape and save their lives.

However, they have not been discharged from the hospital yet, so they did not send a banner to Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang naturally didn't care about these banners, but if someone really gave them to him, he would not refuse to accept them.

In the operating room of Peking University People's Hospital, Zhao Mancang stood at the front, listening to Wang Guanmian's detailed description of the patient's condition while taking his pulse.

The person lying on the hospital bed was Yan Huatang, a professor at Peking University. He was a professor in the Department of Mathematics at Peking University and also a researcher in a secret department.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a nationwide literacy campaign was launched, and at the same time, a major adjustment was made to higher education, which took place between 1952 and 1953.

After the adjustment, a national evaluation of first and second level professors was carried out in 1956. This was the only evaluation of professorial ranks before the 1970s.

In other words, from 1956 to the 1970s, except for a few professors who were promoted, the vast majority of professors did not get promoted within 20 years after their evaluation.

Among them, Peking University has 38 first-level professors, 61 second-level professors, and 49 third-level professors in this rating, ranking first in the number of professors among all universities in the country.

It can also be seen from here that in today's era, Peking University's faculty is definitely the number one existence.

The total number of first-, second-, and third-level professors at Tsinghua University is only forty-six.

The Jiaotong University in Shanghai has 57 people, Fudan University has 74 people, and Nanjing University has 48 people, which are all more than the professors of Tsinghua University.

Professor Yan Huatang is a third-level professor at Peking University, and he is also a part-time researcher at the Institute of Atomic Research. His hospitalization naturally attracted the attention of the leadership.

As an affiliated hospital of Peking University, Peking University People's Hospital immediately took the patient Yan Huatang seriously after receiving him, and it eventually evolved into the current consultation.

Feng Changfu and his team not only called Zhao Mancang, but also Xu Changkun from the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army and Qu Guochun, vice president of the Union Hospital.

Therefore, this joint consultation is large-scale and its impact is needless to say.

Most of the doctors at Peking University People's Hospital, including Li Baishun, Ma Xuyan, Gu Shouzhi and others, were in the operating room. They were either there to study or to participate in discussions.

In short, this time is a challenge and also an opportunity.

Zhao Mancang listened carefully, and after the two senior officials, Xu Changkun and Qu Guochun, finished speaking, he spoke:

"Comrades, this patient's current condition is truly dire. Not only does he have a heart disease ticking time bomb, but he also suffers from hemolytic anemia. His blood-forming function is far below average."

"So, once surgery is needed, not only do we need to increase the amount of blood transfusion, but we also need to stop the bleeding and strictly control the operation time. Otherwise, bigger problems are likely to occur."

"My biggest concern right now is another issue. When I took Professor Yan's pulse just now, I discovered that he may have aortic dissection."

hiss!
Feng Changfu and the others took a deep breath when they heard this.

Who did Yan Huatang offend? How did his body become so "full of holes"?

Congenital hereditary heart disease, hemolytic anemia, occult aortic dissection, and the symptoms of vomiting, nausea, abdominal distension, etc. mentioned earlier were diagnosed as acute pancreatitis.

It can be said that Yan Huatang almost sent himself to report to the King of Hell.

Acute pancreatitis is a very serious disease and a common abdominal surgical disease. If not treated promptly, it can easily lead to death.

Unfortunately, the patient was neither dying nor dying, and other symptoms appeared, which made all the doctors in the operating room feel very nervous.

In particular, the possibility of aortic dissection mentioned by Zhao Mancang shocked experienced doctors like Feng Changfu.

However, no matter how difficult it is, the operation must be performed, and it must be done quickly and cannot be delayed.

In fact, the treatment of acute pancreatitis requires inhibiting pancreatic enzyme activity during the acute phase to reduce damage to the body.

If medical treatment is ineffective, surgery may be necessary.

Just before Zhao Mancang came to Peking University People's Hospital, Wang Guanmian and others had already received drug treatment.

After all, Yan Huatang is a professor and expert with a high status. No matter how difficult it is to obtain imported drugs, he must be given priority.

"This way, we can treat the pancreatitis first. If other unexpected events occur during this process, we can perform a combined surgery simultaneously."

Qu Guochun suggested:

"Doctor Zhao, your surgical skills are excellent. We have worked together many times. I trust you, so I hope you can be the lead surgeon this time."

"Doctor Xu, how about you notify Dr. Li Jinxiong from your hospital and have this young man assist Dr. Zhao?"

Xu Changkun is older than Qu Guochun. Although he is a doctor in the Health Bureau, his age means that the role he can play in such surgical operations is relatively limited.

You should know that surgical operations take a long time and require very high physical strength, concentration, patience and other aspects of the doctor.

The most important thing is to keep your hands steady during the operation.

Given Xu Changkun's age, it is obviously not suitable.

Li Jinxiong's age is very suitable, and this has been confirmed in several surgical cases in the past.

However, before Xu Changkun could speak, Feng Changfu interrupted him:
"Director Qu, I believe that Dr. Gu Shouzhi from our hospital is quite capable. He will definitely be able to complete the next surgery. It won't be a problem for him to serve as Dr. Zhao's assistant."

This was clearly an operation performed at Peking University People's Hospital, but Qu Guochun, the vice president of Union Hospital, immediately gave the credit to the General Hospital.

Although Feng Changfu didn't understand what Qu Guochun was trying to do, he certainly wouldn't let the credit go to him so easily.

"That's okay too."

Qu Guochun pretended to think for a few seconds, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

This situation made Feng Changfu completely confused, but he didn't pay too much attention to these trivial matters. The important thing was to start the operation.

During the entire process, no one questioned why Zhao Mancang was directly chosen to be the surgeon.

It is obvious that after several limb replantation surgeries, everyone generally recognizes Zhao Mancang's status in the field of surgery.

After all, before the limb replantation surgery, Zhao Mancang had already completed several major operations, such as craniotomy, heart repair surgery, etc.

Although Zhao Mancang went into the operating room less times and for less time than anyone else present, his success rate was far higher than anyone else's.

So, the operation officially began.

The surgical procedures in the 1950s were very different from those in later generations.

There are no high-end equipment such as abdominal ultrasound machines now, only ordinary scalpels.

Zhao Mancang held the silver needle in one hand, and after the anesthesiologist completed anesthesia for Yan Huatang, he began to insert the silver needle.

Time waits for no one, especially when there is a possibility of aortic dissection, heart disease, etc., the surgery time cannot be waited for slowly.

Later surgeries for acute pancreatitis mainly include distal pancreatectomy, laparoscopic drainage for severe acute pancreatitis, and distal pancreatectomy.

Zhao Mancang used the third method because it was the most suitable one.

In other words, Zhao Mancang had no way of choosing the first two surgical methods because the first two methods required tools such as gastroscope and ultrasonic knife.

Gastroscopy is not very popular in the country.

From equipment to technology, gastroscopes are a scarce commodity.

The earliest gastroscopy examination in the mainland was in 1950 when Dr. Yang Yingfu performed the first gastroscopy examination in China using a Wolf-Synder semi-flexible gastroscope in Cuiyingmen.

In 1951, at the first annual meeting of the Chinese Medical Association held in Beijing, Yang Yingfu gave an academic report entitled "Gastroscopy and Its Diagnostic Value."

As of 1958, it was still very difficult to obtain the flexible gastroscope.

The ultrasonic knife technology was not introduced to our country until the 1960s, so Zhao Mancang naturally could not choose the first or second surgical options.

Besides, for him, tools such as a scalpel, long flat tweezers, silk thread and silver needle are enough.

However, less than twenty minutes into the operation, when Zhao Mancang was in the process of cutting off the pancreas, Xu Changkun suddenly spoke:

"Doctor Zhao, Professor Yan's pulse is starting to drop."

"The amount of bleeding is still too heavy!" Qu Guochun also spoke up to remind Zhao Mancang.

Upon hearing this, the latter did not continue to cut off the pancreas, but instead clamped the pancreas with long flat forceps to reduce bleeding from the pancreatic cross section during cutting.

Zhao Mancang raised his knife and quickly cut the pancreas in a wedge shape, paying attention to dissecting the pancreatic duct and ligating it with double silk thread.

After completing this part of the operation, Zhao Mancang did not proceed to the next step of processing the pancreatic section and flushing the abdominal cavity, but immediately started to stop the bleeding.

It’s just because at this time, we must be more careful, otherwise, other accidents may really happen soon.

Using the silver needle hemostasis technique, Zhao Mancang quickly stopped the bleeding, and then completed the last two steps with the fastest and most stable surgical method.

After completion, Xu Changkun and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, they saw that Zhao Mancang actually checked his heart again at this time.

why?
Because the distal pancreatectomy used by Zhao Mancang involved an incision in the left upper rectus abdominis muscle or the midline incision in the upper abdomen, and he also made an additional horizontal incision below the left costal margin.

So at this position, you can see the heart.

At this juncture, the wound began to bleed profusely again, and Yan Huatang's pulse became abnormal again.

After being reminded, Zhao Mancang did not continue to check the heart, but started to examine it.

The results showed that it was still caused by anemia, but the hidden disease of aortic dissection did not appear.

So, under the persuasion of Xu Changkun and others, Zhao Mancang began to suture the wound.

Just when Zhao Mancang completed the last part of the operation and Qu Guochun, Xu Changkun, Feng Changfu and others breathed a sigh of relief, Professor Yan Huatang's body seemed to change again.

At this moment, Yan Huatang's facial expression seemed to be somewhat painful.

You know, he is under anesthesia now, so it is impossible for him to feel pain.

And now the whole operation lasts only a little more than half an hour, so the anesthetic effect will not dissipate so quickly.

What's more, Zhao Mancang used silver needles to control his wounds, making it even less likely that he would feel pain.

Then there is only one truth, that is, the severe chest pain caused by acute aortic dissection, which is like a knife cut, needle prick or tearing, and is continuous and unbearable extreme pain, is what made Yan Huatang like this.

At this time, not only did Professor Yan Huatang's facial expression change slightly, but Zhao Mancang, who was undergoing surgery, also felt something strange.

"Everyone, I need to perform aortic dissection surgery immediately. I hope you can cooperate with me."

hiss!
Hearing Zhao Mancang's voice, everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and Xu Changkun, Qu Guochun and others all widened their eyes.

Gu Shouzhi, the deputy surgeon, was stunned upon hearing this and immediately suggested:

"Doctor Zhao, how about we give you medication?"

In the last century, the world's first case of aortic dissection was reported, and in the following decades, cases began to be diagnosed during life.

It was not until 1935 that several foreign doctors began to use right iliac artery fenestration to treat aortic dissection.

However, the first case of aortic dissection treated with surgery was in 1954, when the DeBakey classification was introduced, a type of aortic dissection surgery.

For this type of aortic dissection cases, the only thing that can be done in China at present is drug treatment.

It is difficult to cure aortic dissection with traditional Chinese medicine, and the effect is not good.

why?
Aortic dissection is actually aortic dissecting aneurysm, which is a serious cardiovascular emergency.

The cause of the disease is the structural abnormality of the aortic media itself and the abnormal hemodynamics. The high-risk groups include patients with hypertension, older age, aortic atherosclerosis and hereditary vascular diseases.

The most important point is that aortic dissection progresses rapidly and has a high early mortality rate.

In other words, the probability of this thing being discovered in ancient China was low, and once it happened, it would mean death.

The medical level in ancient times was relatively low. Aortic dissection could only be discovered with timely diagnosis from a Chinese medicine expert, and it was not necessarily curable.

This is because the high-risk group for this disease is people over the age of 50.

There are also surgical operations in traditional Chinese medicine, but they are relatively rare, and cases of aortic dissection are also relatively rare.

However, Zhao Mancang, who has received relatively systematic training in modern traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, has a much better understanding of aortic dissection than anyone else in the operating room.

Therefore, when he heard Gu Shouzhi's suggestion, he just shook his head and said:

"It can't be treated with medication. This is an acute condition and requires immediate treatment. There are several types of aortic dissection, and the mortality rate of acute symptoms is very high, and the disease progresses very quickly. Time is of the essence."

"We don't have time to wait. The surgery must be performed immediately. If you don't understand, then please ask Dr. Gu to stand aside."

As he spoke, Zhao Mancang was still performing the operation. The dazzling operation made Gu Shou unable to say anything else.

The so-called drug treatment is nothing more than Gu Shouzhi's conservative treatment plan for this disease.

Several experienced doctors, including Qu Guochun, also think the same way.

Today, they seem to be witnessing history again.

The five words "aortic dissection" are not unfamiliar to all doctors in the operating room. Everyone has heard of this disease.

However, the chances of encountering it are relatively rare, and the chances of diagnosis and treatment are even lower.

The decision to adopt drug treatment is also due to the fact that people are not very familiar with this type of case.

In the land where Zhao Mancang and others live, although Western medicine has been developed for hundreds of years and there are many doctors influenced by Western medicine, there are still more people influenced by traditional Chinese medicine.

When faced with strange and unfamiliar cases, Gu Shouzhi, Feng Changfu, Qu Guochun and others all adopt conservative treatment plans.

Doctors are also human beings, especially older ones like Qu Guochun, who are more likely to adopt conservative treatment plans.

Therefore, at this time, the so-called deputy surgeon Gu Shouzhi had already taken over the nurse's job and assisted Zhao Mancang in his subsequent actions throughout the process.

Everyone was staring at Zhao Mancang's surgical movements and paying attention to the changes in Professor Yan Huatang's vital signs. Tension began to spread, but no one dared to show it.

It was mainly because of the acute symptoms of aortic dissection, which was really scary.

In addition, no one knew much about this disease and there was no way to help Zhao Mancang, so everyone was unsure.

Yan Huatang is a professor at Peking University and also a researcher in a secret department. There are several leaders in military uniforms guarding the door of the ward, and they are putting a lot of pressure on him.

The atomic bomb project is the most important scientific research project in our country at present, no doubt about it.

To borrow Yu Min's words, the verification papers of those scientific researchers could cover the entire Lop Nur!
From this sentence, we can see how difficult and labor-intensive this project is. It is hard for outsiders to imagine, and even insiders may feel despair.

It is estimated that only scientific researchers such as Yu Min, Deng Jiaxian, Peng Hengwu and Zhou Guangshao have the confidence to complete this great project.

Therefore, any researcher or experimenter in this project is a very important person.

It can even be said that neither is indispensable.

Yan Huatang can be said to be somewhat similar to Qin Yuanxun who came later. Both of them are researchers specializing in pure mathematical theoretical research.

For the atomic bomb project, this type of talent is responsible for computer, or supercomputer research.

However, Feng Changfu and his colleagues were under great pressure, but Zhao Mancang did not feel any pressure and only treated the task at hand as a job.

Zhao Mancang's attitude towards work is seriousness and responsibility.
