154. Is there any possibility of surgical treatment? Monthly pass

Seeing Berg's situation, Jiang Lai also understood why Sophia was so excited when she learned about the theory of autologous transplantation and repair.

He was a visitor from later generations and thought it was a normal event that could be understood completely, but for people of this era, this is an innovation. Although... the heart surgery has always been a consensus that surgical operations cannot be challenged.

But there are always some people who will go in another direction.

Obviously, Sophia is like this.

"Jiang, you have also seen that Berg's condition has developed to a little bit of emotion and then he has angina pectoris. If this continues, I am afraid that even nitroglycerin tablets will not be able to..." Sophia shook her head.

Jiang Lai nodded, "I know."

"So, I want to hear your opinion." Sofia was also very direct. On the side, the silver-haired Berg slowed down, with all her eyes looking forward.

"It's not that it cannot be treated, it's just that there is a lack of conditions." Jiang Lai organized the language.

In this era, heart surgery has not been carried out, but for patients with this type of angina pectoris, some of them will be dissected after death. The cause of the disease has been discovered long ago, but the treatment method is lacking.

"Missing conditions?" Sofia frowned.

Jiang Lai sighed, "Director Sofia, we know that the function of the heart is to pump blood that undergoes peroxygenation to the whole body and provide nutrients for cells throughout the body. If surgery is performed on the heart, there must be a machine that can replace the heart to pump blood to the whole body."

"You mean...artificial heart?" Sofia quickly understood, "If it were this, there was one in the hospital, but it has been stored for a long time, and I'm not sure if it can be used."

Jiang Lai was slightly stunned. Is there a blood pump (artificial heart) in this era? He didn't understand this, but it didn't prevent him from being surprised, "So, what about the oxygenator?"

"There are some. Twenty years ago, when someone developed barrier artificial lungs, it was quite lively. After Santa Maria was established, she bought one, but it was used less." Sofia explained, and then she realized, "What do you mean is to replace the ventilation work of the lungs with an oxygenator, replace the blood pumping function of the heart, and maintain the patient's vital signs? Jiang, do you mean?"

As he said that, Sophia was excited. For now, the two machines have been used separately, each with its own functions, and no one has combined the two machines together.

"Yes." Jiang Lai nodded, "That's what it means, but for heart surgery, the function of the blood pump is enough, and artificial lungs can be prepared, but I also have to look at the machine."

He didn't expect that the conditions he thought were missing were gathered, but he didn't understand the development history of these medical equipment.

In fact, just this year, someone will combine blood pumps and oxygenators to form the first generation of artificial heart and lung machines.

"Doctor Jiang, do you mean, is there any possibility of surgical treatment for my disease?" Berg has been ill for so many years and is very clear about his disease. He is very excited to hear that he has hope of curing.

"It's possible, but sir, you don't have to be too excited." Jiang Lai frowned slightly, "Your illness is the most resistant to emotional ups and downs, otherwise, I think you don't need to listen to the next thing for now. It's better to go home and rest."

"Ah, sorry, sorry." Berg smiled bitterly, "I just... have been troubled by this disease for too long. I obviously think my health should be good, but I can't be emotionally excited, nor can I exercise like ordinary people... Sometimes, after walking for a long time, I feel tired..."

"I want to be like a normal person, too..."

"I understand your mood, Mr. Goodman, but please keep your mood calm." Jiang Lai said in a serious tone. He didn't think that Berg could stay calm. "So, for your condition, I will do the next discussion alone with Dean Sofia."

Seeing this, Sophia smoothed out the situation and said with a smile, "I blame me, I just want to let you meet the patient. By the way, these are Berg's information. You can check it out first. Let's discuss it later. Then Berg, you will go home and wait for the news first. How about it?"

Berg naturally had to nod, "That's it, please trouble you, Dr. Jiang."

Jiang Lai took Berg's medical records from Sofia. It has been in the past two years, and the symptoms have occurred more and more frequently. However, his physical fitness in the past was still very good, but after suffering from this disease...

I had this disease at the age of 33, and at that age, I was in my prime. It was indeed difficult to accept that there was such a big gap.

Jiang Lai carefully read it. There were also the results of Berg's examination, the time, duration and treatment measures for each time. After more than twenty minutes, he put down the information in his hand and raised his head to Berg and said, "Mr. Goodman, I will first declare that I cannot guarantee that your disease will be cured. Even those two machines may not be able to meet my requirements."

Seeing that Jiang Lai was so serious, Berg naturally nodded, "I understand this."

"Secondly, even if the machine can be used, it will be a surgery on the human heart. As of now, no one in the world has done it... it is even possible that there will be accidents on the operating table, and the risk is quite great. In short, I think you can think slowly." Jiang Lai spoke again seriously.

Berg sighed, with a self-deprecating look on his face, "Before I got this disease, I was still a normal person, but after I got sick, I became a very weak person. It's almost twenty years, I... have had enough. If not, I wouldn't have come here after Sofia said there was only a slight treatment possibility, and a Chinese doctor..."

"Then, please go home and rest first. In the following results, Dean Sofia will communicate with you in detail." Jiang Lai also nodded. From the perspective of later generations, he is at most a consultation doctor...

However, this gentleman's condition does need to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise... if he is not in time, he will probably die.

"Okay." Berg responded and said goodbye to the two, but at least, he was not hopeless now.

When Berg left, only Jiang Lai and Sophia were left in the office.

Sofia said with apologies, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said so much to Berg before I was sure I could treat it... But Berg has been my friend for decades..."

Jiang Lai expressed his understanding, "It doesn't matter. The patient should have the right to know, but Mr. Goodman's condition is really not suitable to make him feel too excited."

“That’s right.”
