Chapter 176: 30% sure
Obviously, there is something growing in the brain, and craniotomy is needed if necessary, but in Daqi, the conditions for craniotomy are not very good.
The last time Li Haitang gave the Sun family's wife a caesarean section, she was lucky. However, the risk of craniotomy is higher, and experts in many modern hospitals cannot be sure about it.
Moreover, after the operation, the sequelae are strong, and if it is not done well, it will become a vegetable.
"Let me go take a look with you first."
Li Haitang sighed, if she took over and messed up, the newly formed reputation as a genius doctor would be changed into a liar, a magic stick, and a street rat, everyone would call and beat her.
In particular, if the Ma family is rich, the conditions will inevitably be very harsh.
After packing up the toolbox, Li Haitang greeted her husband, and followed the servants to Ma's house.
The Ma family is considered one of the largest families in the border town, as can be seen from the location of the mansion not far from the magistrate's yamen.
Entering the house five times, there are two stone lions at the door, which look extraordinarily grand.
"Master Li, please save my father!"
The ones who came to pick them up were a pair of siblings who looked to be in their teens and were the sons and daughters of Master Ma.
Li Haitang thought that to have such a family business, he must be an old man full of children and grandchildren. After seeing him, she was taken aback. Master Ma had just arrived in his thirties and was still very young.
"My great-grandfather, my grandfather died in his thirties."
Ma Bihe, the older sister among the siblings, cried and said, "They both had the same disease. They had a sudden headache and couldn't see clearly. They died within a month or two.
The family also used to seek medical advice, and even spent a lot of money to find a way to find an imperial doctor in the capital.
"The imperial doctor said that something has grown in my father's brain. There is no cure for medicine and stones, and he can only wait for death."
In addition, her grandfather and great-grandfather both had this disease, so Ma Bihe had no hope.
"The imperial doctor can't do anything, why do you think I can cure it?"
Li Haitang rolled her eyes, she was only 30% sure, at most.
Moreover, the disease can only be performed by craniotomy, and a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. However, the patient may not be able to bear the craniotomy and die during the operation.
The risk is so great, who will bear the responsibility?
"You are a miracle doctor, and the one who treats the gods is better than the imperial doctor, right?"
Ma Bihe was very honest. He brought out a large pile of house deeds and land deeds from the house, as well as a box of bank notes. The level of a local tyrant made Li Haitang's tongue smack.
"As long as my father can be cured, all of these will be used as consultation fees and thanks."
If it is not enough, she is willing to give more. Money is something outside of the body, and it is not as important as her father's life.
It is said that the richer the family is, the weaker the family relationship is, and people only look at the benefits. Li Haitang thinks that this is not the case for the Ma family. The family is harmonious and everything is prosperous, and doing business is harmonious, so it is no wonder that they can become the richest man in the border town.
If the family wealth left by the ancestors cannot be managed well, it will only decline more and more. In terms of business, Master Ma is a talent.
Xiao Taohong mentioned that their whole troupe came to Northland to perform. It was the owner of Fuxiang Tea House who spent a lot of money in the capital to invite people sincerely.
"Money is only one aspect, and you know that money cannot buy life."
Li Haitang shook her head. The consultation fees are very exciting. As a doctor, no one wants to save people more than her, but I believe that apart from her, no one else even has the courage to have a craniotomy.
"How sure is that?"
Ma Bihe stopped crying, and asked her servants to bring tea fruit. Anyway, if there is a glimmer of hope, she must fight for it. Seeing that her father is awake less and less these days, she is already about to collapse.
"Thirty percent, but you don't have time to think about it."
The patient must lie down and cannot move around at will, otherwise the things in the brain will break, causing massive bleeding and brain death directly.
The operation needs to provide a sterile environment, at least carefully disinfected, and her assistant, Li Xia, is indispensable. The two have experience in cooperation and have a relatively tacit understanding.
"You can only pray that nothing happens."
In Daqi, there is no advanced equipment, such as ECG unit, blood transfusion and rehydration facilities, and oxygen inhalation equipment, so everything can only be kept simple.
"Pick up the person first, and there will be a day's delay on the road. Our family will discuss it later."
Ma Bihe made a decisive decision and sent someone to pick up Lixia according to the address Li Haitang gave. As for the surgery, she had to discuss it with her parents, but right now her mother is ill, and her father won't be awake for long.
The craniotomy was such a huge challenge that the doctors couldn't recover from their astonishment at dinner.
They knew that Miracle Doctor Li had a unique technique, and they had learned how to suture it, which was indeed very helpful for wound healing, but they didn't even dare to think about opening their heads.
"Can it be done? What if..."
The worries of the doctors are similar to those of Li Haitang. If someone is not rescued, they will definitely recruit themselves, and they will become flowers, and failures will be cooked in flames!
"Whether it will succeed or not depends on what the Ma family wants. If the Ma family trusts me, I can't just put people's lives at risk for my own reputation."
Li Haitang speaks righteous words, but his heart is full of bitterness. However, the starting point is too high, and he is called Doctor Li, and he can't get up and down.
In TV dramas and novels, there are always those genius doctors with eccentric personalities who can live and die, cure diseases and save lives. It depends on the mood. Li Haitang is very suspicious. The so-called mood means that some people can't be cured.
The magistrate hosted a banquet and wanted to say a word of thanks, but in the end Li Haitang stole the limelight. None of the people had the heart to drink and eat meat, so they found out their brochures and discussed countermeasures.
Regarding the pre-operation preparation and post-operative care, Lixia alone is not enough, and several colleagues are needed to help.
Everyone was very excited to see the miracle doctor perform the operation with their own eyes, and they all contributed the methods of disinfection and sterilization.
In the early morning of the second day, Li Haitang was a little nervous before Lixia arrived at the border town, so she had to take her husband to go shopping, and the only way to feel comfortable was to spend money.
In front of a shop that sells women's personal items, it says "Men customers stop", Xiao Lingchuan stopped and found an open corner to stand, with large and small bags in his hand, more than a dozen packages, and they just walked around for a while. to half an hour.
Li Haitang walked into the shop. There was a screen in front of her, which effectively blocked her sight. She had just entered the door, and a female waiter came out from the door, and said enthusiastically, "Young lady, I'm afraid it's the first time you come here? Our shop Good stuff."
After the female clerk finished speaking, she smiled ambiguously, and looked at Li Haitang. Although her clothes were ordinary, the hairpin on her hair was made of emerald jade, which was worth at least a few hundred taels of silver. She could not be the wife of a rich family, but I don’t know why. Without a maid.
Li Haitang was also a little confused, she thought that she was famous in the border town, but in fact, everyone knew about Dr. Li, but many people only heard about him by name, but never saw him.
"?? What are you talking about, take it out and have a look." Li??? Haitang found a chair, she took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat that didn't exist on her forehead, her husband was still waiting outside, Can't wait too long.
