Heartburn

Needless to say, the hardships in the past three years are still a long way from the clinical trial to the real results. There were countless failures and struggles, falls and climbs, so that when Chi Zhao received a call from his mentor, he did not dare to Believe: "Is it really possible? To what extent can vision be restored? Are there any rejection reactions and other side effects?"

When Chi Zhao received the call, he had just got off the operating table, and the surgical gown had just been taken off, and he blurted out a series of questions. He had been thinking about this project all the time.

After the project reached the clinical stage, the project team carried out various adjustments, and finally established a new type of molecular material as the carrier of artificial retinal electrodes. This material has a small rejection and can accommodate a large number of electrodes. A clinical trial has been carried out on the patient. Chi Zhao has been paying attention to this project and calls almost every few days to inquire about the situation. Now he is very excited when he hears the results. Before the instructor can answer, there will be another series of questions : "Do you have any specific data? Can you explain in detail? What exactly is acceptable?"

At this time, he was still in the operation preparation room, surrounded by senior teachers. Chi Zhao’s tone was too excited. After the words fell, several teachers looked towards him. Walking out of the preparation room, he trotted to a quiet place in the corridor, and he couldn't wait to inquire about the latest progress of the tutor's project while running, and the tutor's answer made him even more hopeful.

"I'll send you the specific data by email. The clinical effect and the probability of rejection and complications in patients are better than we imagined." The instructor's voice was still clear across the phone, and every sentence hit Chi Zhao's heart: "At present, our volunteers' eyesight has improved significantly after undergoing surgery. I called to tell you that this technology has officially passed the clinical trial. If there are no accidents, it will be officially applied after a while. clinically."

It can be officially applied in clinical practice. Chi Zhao has been waiting for this sentence for too long. The particularity of fundus surgery makes Chi Zhao dare not experiment rashly on Fu Nan'an's eyes. He has to wait for the project to mature.Chi Zhao has been waiting for this day since the first results in animal experiments, and now he still can't believe it when his dream comes true.

"Is it really possible?" Chi Zhao repeatedly confirmed with the tutor, "Will there be no more accidents?"

"No one can guarantee [-]% that there were many accidents when God created man," the tutor said with a smile, "but judging from the current results, this project can indeed bring light to many patients with fundus diseases. "

Health is related to life, and medicine is a discipline that fights against fate. It is inevitable to deal with diseases in life. Medicine is the hands that pull you back from the abyss. Chi Zhao has been trying his best to become a good doctor. And his lover is seeing the light again because of the progress of medicine.

Fast forward and half a year later, the artificial retina project was first approved for listing abroad, and Chi Zhao was the first to get the surgery quota.

It is not easy to get such a quota in the early stage of project approval. There are too many patients with fundus diseases, but the artificial retina has not yet reached mass production, and materials and technologies are in short supply. There are only a few cases that can be done. Chi Zhaozai, everything is not a problem.Chi Zhao has been working hard for Fu Nan'an to be able to see bit by bit, from participating in projects to trying his best to protect Fu Nan'an's eyes, but Chi Zhao has been doing his best to do whatever can be done.

When he was still an intern, Chi Zhao often helped Fu Nan'an put his eyes on him. After so many years, he has persisted in this habit. When he was studying abroad, Chi Zhao made a video call and asked Fu Nan'an to put his eyes on him. No matter how tired he was, he would personally apply Fu Nan'an's eyes.Facts have proved that Chi Zhao’s approach is very prescient. In the case of shortage of materials in the early stage of the project, the assessment of the patient’s fundus condition has become the gold standard for surgery. Coupled with Chi Zhao’s continuous running and the help of his mentor, Fu Nan’an’s surgery was finally completed. It is scheduled to be implemented abroad in half a month.

The matter with Fu Nan'an Chi Zhao didn't deliberately hide it or say it on purpose. It was his private matter. The hospital has always relied on ability to speak, but Chi Zhao couldn't hide the matter of Fu Nan'an's application for surgery. The successful research and development of the retina is a big event. As ophthalmologists, everyone naturally pays attention to it. As practitioners, they know how difficult it is to get such a quota at this stage, so they were shocked when they heard the news, and even more so. He looked at Chi Zhao with admiration.

"Our Xiaochi is too powerful, if you tell us about it, it will make our eye hospital look good."

"I just said that Chi Zhao must be a person who can do great things in the future. What do you think, it will come true so soon."

"Don't talk about it. When Chi Zhao first came here, I thought he was too tender and incompetent. Now he's really slapped in the face."

Everyone boasted all over the place, but Chi Zhao accepted their praise very frankly, which is indeed what he deserved. There are countless hard work behind every glory.

Chi Zhao was still a young man when he first returned to China, and he had received a lot of doubts in the medical industry, which is based on his seniority. In just three years, he won everyone with his absolute strength and humble and progressive attitude. Of course, more and more people now know that there is a young doctor named Chi Zhao in the Eye Hospital. Even the big boss in the department who has always been known for his strictness has praised him more than once, saying that he will definitely make a difference. He will definitely grow into a future pillar of ophthalmology.

Chi Zhao's body is full of light, even if he is not from a good background, he has gradually shown his edge after time has passed, visas for going abroad, data verification, and hospital admission applications are all handled by Chi Zhao. Fu Nan'an's parents also came with them, but after all, the two elders were too old to travel far and it was inconvenient. After considering all the circumstances, Chi Zhao was the only one who followed.

After being admitted to the hospital, the nurse asked Chi Zhao: "Did you prepare the materials? Are you alone?" "Yes, it's just me," Chi Zhao replied, "All the materials are ready, and you can review them at any time."

Chi Zhao accompanied Fu Nan'an by himself, but he was as careful as other family members. In addition to the basic information to be prepared, Chi Zhao also sorted out Fu Nan'an's medical records and inspection reports over the years. This book took Chi Zhao a lot of time, but it also provided valuable information for the doctor's operation.

"You are too good." Holding the translated medical record, the little nurse sighed sincerely, "If all the patients were as thoughtful as you, they would hardly need us."

Chi Zhao was already used to these compliments, he just smiled and said, "You are too praised."

Chi Zhao's preparations were really comprehensive, which also gave Fu Nan'an a little more security in the operation process. The time passed and the day before the operation came, and the nurse came to appease them as usual and told them the operation process tomorrow.

Chi Zhao could not be more clear about the procedure of the operation. It is nothing more than anesthesia, incision, placement, and suture. A similar operation was performed on experimental animals by Chi Zhao a few years ago. When the nurse handed over the informed consent form and the operation risk notification form, Chi Zhao suddenly felt nervous from the bottom of his heart.

It seemed that the previously hidden emotions suddenly emerged, and Chi Zhao couldn't control his thoughts at all. He had waited for more than five years for this operation, and he had paid countless hardships for it, but when his dream was about to come true, Chi Zhao Zhao couldn't help but think about it——

Will there be any accidents during the operation?

Can Fu Nan'an really see after the operation?

Will there be other complications?

This technology is too new, and there are too many uncertainties, but even a fully mature operation pool photo can't rest assured, a small probability event may always happen, but Fu Nan'an only has one pair of eyes, they have no There are more opportunities.

Chi Zhao slowly closed his eyes. He had never felt the feelings of the patient's family members so clearly before. His lips moved. He wanted to ask something to reassure himself, but he couldn't ask anything. He knows all the links very well. He knows that the probability of those accidents is very low, but when his emotions come up, he can't control them at all.Chi Zhao cared too much about Fu Nan'an's eyes, as if he was strangled by the neck, he could only watch helplessly as the nurse explained the risks and precautions of the operation to them, and watched Fu Nan'an sign the notice, I watched the nurse walk out of the ward with the notice, and saw the door of the ward open and close. There was a "click" sound of the door lock falling, and the surrounding fell into silence.Chi Zhao sat silently by Fu Nan'an's window, held his hand, and called out, "Professor."

"What's the matter?" Fu Nan'an's voice was deep and steady. After all these years, his palms were still firm and powerful. Chi Zhao sat down a little lower and rested his head on his shoulder. He didn't know what to say. So I can only say: "It's okay, Professor, I'll call you."

"Okay, call." Fu Nan'an said, "I'm right here."

Chi Zhao didn't ask Fu Nan'an if he didn't say anything, the two of them just leaned on each other quietly, the sky outside was already dark at some point, and the sky was dark after the sun hid in the bushes. High, the luxuriant trees can be seen outside the window, but after dark, the branches are also black, blocking the eyes in black, blocking the faint afterglow of the sun.

It was a very depressing emotion. When the sky was completely dark, Chi Zhao called out "Professor" again.At this time, the two of them had changed from sitting to lying down. They were lying side by side on a small hospital bed. Fu Nan'an held Chi Zhao's shoulders, lowered his head and kissed his forehead, and repeated what he said just now: " Well, the professor is here."

Fu Nan'an's voice was gentle. He slowly kissed Chi Zhao's skin. If Chi Zhao didn't say anything, he really didn't ask a word. He didn't seem to worry about tomorrow's operation at all, but Chi Zhao couldn't do it, Chi Zhao was too I was scared, the more I cared, the more scared I became, Chi Zhao couldn't control his emotions at all.

"Professor, I'm a little scared." In the end, Chi Zhao grabbed Fu Nan'an's clothes and opened his mouth.

Fu Nan'an had already changed into a hospital gown, and the loose clothes on his body made Chi Zhao feel uneasy. Only at this time can Chi Zhao feel his own insignificance, even though he has been praised by so many people and achieved so much. He still feels insignificant despite all his accomplishments. People are always insignificant in the face of unknown things, and no one is exempt from it.

Chi Zhao was afraid of too many things, afraid of surgical accidents, afraid of rejection, afraid of complications, and also afraid that Fu Nan'an would still not be able to see after undergoing an operation. Entering Fu Nan'an's arms, he asked in a muffled voice, "Professor, aren't you afraid?"

Fu Nan'an wrapped his arms around his shoulders and asked him very gently: "What are you afraid of?"

"Aren't you afraid that the operation will fail? Are you afraid that you won't be able to see after the operation?" Chi Zhao was inexplicably anxious. Anxiety filled his mind so that he couldn't calm down and think. He raised his head and kissed Fu Nan'an's eyes indiscriminately. Wanting to get some peace of mind, Fu Nan'an lowered his head and kissed him quietly.

"It's nothing, there's no need to be afraid." At the end of the kiss, Fu Nan'an squeezed Chi Zhao's shoulder. His palm was gentle and strong. He knew what Chi Zhao was worried about, but he really wasn't worried. Not nervous, not afraid, "I believe in your ability and I believe in your entire project team. This is a project you personally participated in. This project has received so many recognitions. I believe it can bring me light."

"Then what if it fails? What if you don't have a chance to see it in the future?" Chi Zhao's tone became a bit stubborn. He knew that the probability of such a thing was very small. ——

Fu Nan'an groped to touch his cheek, and then planted a soft and pious kiss on his eyelid.

"I won't fail. You have already succeeded, and you succeeded a long time ago," Fu Nan'an kissed him slowly, "It doesn't matter whether the operation succeeds or fails. The world is always on."
