Chapter 979 Domino Operation(1/2)
Medical Center.
As soon as the door of the conference hall was pushed open, dozens of eyes immediately looked over.
The doctor also looked over dozens of eyes at the same time.
"12 surgeries and 6 kidney transplants must be performed at the same time."
Dr. Bailey was full of enthusiasm: "Six people donated their kidneys to six strangers, six people obtained kidneys from strangers, and 12 people will happily leave the hospital."
“Domino surgery!”
Even though he never forgets it, Lexi, who has a small encyclopedia, immediately reacted.
"Yes!"
Dr. Bailey glanced at Lexi with appreciation: "Like dominoes, once they start, they all start."
"Now only Boston Massachusetts General Hospital has succeeded in the first instance."
Adam laughed and said, "This is the second case in the world, it is indeed a big deal."
The difficulty of kidney transplantation is that it requires matching, and the donor's kidneys cannot be transplanted to patients who want to donate.
The emergence of the concept of domino surgery provides more operability for this situation.
Patient A's family wants to donate kidneys to their relatives. Although it does not match the relatives, it may match other patients B who need kidney transplantation.
And the donor of Patient B happens to match Patient A.
In this way, both parties can be transplanted if they are interchangeable.
The reality is that it is difficult to encounter two pairs of match with each other.
Generally, you need to get together six pairs before everyone can match it.
Of course, sometimes more is needed.
But that will put too much burden on the medical team.
At least 15 doctors will work at the same time on 6-on-12 surgeries.
This is a great test for the operation, coordination and emergency response capabilities of the person in charge of the operation.
As for why not one surgery is performed?
Human nature cannot withstand the test.
No one dares to bet if anyone will retreat at the last moment.
As long as a person retreats, the hospital will face prosecution from donors of the family members of the patient who have had surgery to donate his kidney to strangers.
They are willing to take such great risks for their loved ones.
If they fail because of human nature, they will definitely show what human nature is weakness: anger, extreme anger!
"Stan Moxiu, 46 years old, has kidney failure caused by hypertension."
Dr. Bailey began to introduce the patient and the donor: "His wife wanted to donate kidneys to him, but unfortunately she didn't match.
So she donated her kidney to Ms. Chen there.
Their kidneys match.
And Mr. Mo Xiu will accept the donation from this young man.”
"Nice to meet you."
Mr. Mo Xiu, who was about to get a kidney, extended his hand to the young African-American man.
The young Africans ignored it.
Adam frowned immediately.
"P.J, please!"
An old African-American man who should be a young African-American father asked his son to be polite.
The young African-American man P.J then stretched out his hand and shook Mr. Mo Xiu, who was about to get his kidney.
Adam frowned even tighter.
Hell P.J!
He knew that his grandfather's name was really unreliable, which was obviously more in line with the name of the person in front of him.
Fortunately, he changed his name as soon as he traveled through time.
Christina and Meredith, when they heard the name, they looked at Adam and smiled.
They also knew that Adam had called this name.
"Kent Walin, 58 years old, has kidney failure caused by diabetes."
Dr. Bailey glared at Christina and Meredith and continued to introduce: "His son P.J doesn't match him, so Mr. Valin will accept Ms. Herman's donation..."
Adam frowned even tighter.
"Yang, Gray, you all started to get familiar with the situation."
The director of the surgery immediately noticed Adam's frown. After Dr. Bailey finished speaking, he arranged it quietly, and then took the attending doctor and Adam to leave.
Dr. Bailey noticed something strange and followed him out.
"What's wrong?"
Dr. Bailey looked at the director of surgery in confusion.
"Adam, do you have any ideas?"
The director of surgery looked at Adam.
"Um."
Adam nodded: "Director, you haven't informed the media yet?"
"They are hospitalized today and the surgery is tomorrow, and I'm going to give the media news."
The director of surgery became nervous: "Is there any problem?"
"Don't rush to spread the news."
Adam reminded: "There may be a problem with the surgery."
“What’s the problem?”
Dr. Bailey said anxiously.
"First of all, did that young man from PJ donate by himself?"
Adam looked at Dr. Bailey: "Have you talked to them in person?"
"I've talked about it. He was voluntary and his father was also a member of the kidney transplant..."
Dr. Bailey explained.
“What I saw wasn’t like.”
Adam shook his head: "He was obviously very alienated from his father. Has he been informed of the sequelae of kidney donation? Or was he tempted by coercion?"
"Dr. Bailey?"
The director of surgery suddenly became serious.
Organ donation shall not be bought or sold, nor shall there be any involuntary circumstances, otherwise it will not be carried out.
Because this is to protect those vulnerable groups, so as not to voluntarily become automatic organ culturers for rich people.
Once this happens, as a hospital and a doctor, the surgery must be terminated immediately and reported.
"I informed all the sequelae and asked carefully..."
Dr. Bailey had a hard time.
She was sure before, but now she was reminded by Adam, and she was not sure.
Will a young man who has no feelings for his father take such a great risk to donate kidneys to his father?
"I believe you told everything, and he said it was voluntary."
Adam didn't want Dr. Bailey to be embarrassed: "But there are problems with this logic, and there may be risks. Once the news is distributed to the media in advance, if it cannot be carried out at that time..."
“Yes, yes!”
The director of surgery agreed: "Adam, you are still attentive."
Then he said to Dr. Bailey, "Doctor Bailey, I believe you too. Like you, I attach too much importance to this operation, so I didn't even notice such details and risks. Be wary!"
"I see."
Dr. Bailey smiled bitterly: "Adam, are there any other risks?"
"Um."
Adam nodded.
