crazy scalpel

Xie Ke was not sure: "Teacher...?"

Professor Xu leaned back slightly, bent his fingers and tapped the thick stack of plans in his hand, his eyes fell on the black and white words, but Xie Ke knew that he was not looking at the content above.Professor Xu seemed to be weighing something. After thinking for a long time, he finally made a decision: "Let's talk about it in another place."

Xie Ke nodded indiscriminately. At this moment, his mind was also in a mess. Did the teacher know?But such an incredible thing, why can the teacher pretend that he doesn't know, and hasn't asked him for so many years?When did the teacher know?Also, do you know, brother?

When Xie Ke thought of Li Shiguang, his heart felt tight and painful as if he had been pulled.If the senior brother knew, should the senior brother blame him for being dishonest, or should he blame the senior brother for being dishonest?Although neither of them are honest enough.

With a cloud of inexplicable thoughts, Xie Ke took Professor Xu to a small meeting room. He locked the door carefully before turning around and sitting on the sofa, his eyes wide open.

"..." Professor Xu said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Shayke kept his mouth shut.Can't say it, he absolutely can't say it first, it would be bad if he told something that the teacher didn't know.

The silence in the room didn't last long. Professor Xu, who had already made a decision, spoke softly, but every word was very clear: "Do you still see your fingers changing?"

!!!

Xie Ke was shocked, the teacher really knew!He didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he had to squeeze his lips tightly.However, Professor Xu just stared at his clenched fist, then shook his head, "It seems that you will still see it. I knew Li Shiguang would not go so well."

What Professor Xu said really caused Xie Ke to ask: "Brother also knows?"

"Of course." Professor Xu said, "You are his patient, the so-called visitor. But this is just the beginning, and now you both live together." His tone was full of helplessness.

Xie Ke didn't understand: "What's wrong with me?"

Professor Xu gave him a white look: "I can see that my fingers are deforming, isn't this a disease?"

"..." Xie Ke was speechless.Could it be that both the teacher and the senior brother thought that what they saw was an illusion?This makes sense, but how did they know?

"Come here," Professor Xu patted the seat next to him, and said to Xie Ke, "There are many things you can't remember. Let me tell you slowly."

Xie Ke walked over and sat down obediently, and then he heard Professor Xu ask the question he was struggling with: "Aren't you weird, you obviously didn't tell anyone, how did your brother and I know?"

Xie Ke nodded: "Yeah."

Professor Xu patted his head: "Actually, it's not that you never told others, it's just that you don't remember it anymore."

Xie Ke opened his mouth, Professor Xu stopped his denial, but prepared to start from the beginning: "Do you still remember the car accident back then?"

Although it was just a chat, Professor Xu's attitude was more serious than teaching, and Xie Ke also became serious. He searched his memories carefully, but found that he didn't know the specific details except that he really had an impression of this incident.

Xie Ke could vaguely recall that he was sitting in a taxi with his parents, and when the accident happened, the taxi driver first yelled "Damn!" Know.

After that, he still had the impression that he was in the hospital, but he only remembered that the ward was very clean, and he was discharged from the hospital not long after he stayed there.I remember things more clearly after that.The memory of the hospital stay is very vague.Just remember... yes!The resident doctor often treats him to cakes and gives him a backpack to encourage him to continue studying hard in the future!

Shayk put his hands on his shoulders reflexively. He used to like to pick the straps of his schoolbag with his thumbs like this, and it was very uncomfortable without a bag on his shoulders.But since he went to work, he couldn't carry his bag all the time, so he didn't even use this bag for a long time now, and left it at home to collect ashes.

As soon as Professor Xu saw his action of picking up the strap, he knew that he was not used to being separated from the backpack, and this probably showed from the side that Li Shiguang's treatment was not very successful.

Xie Ke found that he really kept too little memory of this part, so he replied uncertainly: "Remember a little."

Professor Xu disagreed: "Do you remember which hospital you were sent to? Do you remember who performed the surgery for you? Do you remember the resident doctor in charge of you?"

Xie Ke was just about to shake his head, but when he saw the loving expression on Professor Xu's face, he suddenly understood: "Could it be...you?"

"That's right. If you go back and look through your medical records, you will find that you were sent to the First Affiliated Hospital at that time. It happened that when I was in the department during the day, a patient with craniocerebral injury was sent to the emergency department. I took Several young doctors performed the surgery on you." Professor Xu's eyes were a little sad: "One of them was the resident doctor who was in charge of managing you later, Li Shiguang."

Shek froze.At this moment, he seemed to be riding in a small boat in a stormy sea, not knowing where he was going to be pushed.six years ago.When Li Shiguang was a neurosurgery resident.An extreme shock and uneasiness rose in his heart, whether it was guilt, suspicion, or fear.

"Brother's hand..." Tears slipped down Xie Ke's face, but he didn't realize it, he just wanted to confirm the facts: "Is it me that Cheng Hai wants to kill?"

"Yes." Thinking of this, even Professor Xu choked up, and he said quickly, "You are Li Shiguang's last patient."

Xie Ke knew that what Professor Xu meant was that he was the last patient on the operating table for Li Shiguang because he later switched to psychotherapy.But it was true, because those patients were all called "visitors" afterwards.

Perhaps for a person who has wanted to be a surgeon for ten years, it would be better to have another name for a patient who can no longer be treated with a scalpel.

Xie Ke wiped his eyes with his sleeve. This was the first time he was so careless about hygiene, but now he can't care so much. Anyway, the clothes will be changed and disinfected later. "So, the one who treats me to the cake and the one who gives me the backpack are all seniors?"

"Hmm... yes." Professor Xu said vaguely.

Xie Ke opened his big eyes that were still leaking water: "Why is senior brother treating me so well?"

"This... because..." Professor Xu suddenly felt that telling the young apprentice directly about this behind his back was a bit of an overreach, but the senior apprentice hadn't made it clear to the young apprentice for so many years, and the two of them rolled on the bed , With a heart attack, Professor Xu directly told the truth: "During the operation, he accidentally cut your hippocampus. This is a place that could not be injured. Maybe he was also a novice at that time. So be nervous. It was a very small miscut, but it was not completely cut off. So if you go to take a CT scan, you can see that there is a connected strip of tissue next to your hippocampus, like an independent It’s the same organ as your hippocampus, but it’s actually a part of your hippocampus, it’s just because of Li Shiguang’s mistaken cutting, it looks like it’s connected to another thing.”

Xie Ke frowned: "You mean to say that senior brother treats me well because he feels sorry for me?"

"This..." Professor Xu was sweating, how do young people nowadays know how to talk about love!What a serious matter this was discussing, and it went in that direction!But he still comforted Xie Ke: "It's not exactly like this, it's just because of this incident at the beginning."

Xie Ke's eyebrows naturally flattened: "That's right, love over time is generally more reliable than love at first sight."

"..." Fuck you #￥!It was love at first sight with your teacher's wife!Professor Xu wanted to give him a chestnut, but he held back when he thought of what he was going to say later, "After you wake up, your memory of the car accident is not very perfect, but because of that kind of momentary thing, you are very slow after the car collision. It is also possible that he will faint soon, so it is impossible to determine whether it was caused by Li Shiguang's mistaken cut."

In fact, Xie Ke knew that the "miscutting" mentioned by Professor Xu was not aimed at ordinary surgeons, because according to his original craniocerebral injury, he needed to know the fragments and hematoma of skull fracture, and encountered a little bit of other surgery. Organization is normal.This is just a special request from the teacher for Li Shiguang, a genius.It may also be Li Shiguang's special request for himself.

In fact, Xie Ke was also very helpless, and he also had high demands on himself, but surgery cannot cause zero damage beyond the lesion. As a patient, he could fully understand Li Shiguang's "imperfection" at that time.

Xie Ke rolled his eyes blankly and said: "Whether it was caused by the severed or not, at least I was saved, and I recovered well, how can you say it was a miscut? loss……"

"..."

What is turning your elbows outwards!What is the water poured out by the apprentice who poured it out!What does it mean to marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog at home, learn from a teacher, marry a husband!This is it!Professor Xu's heart was full of roaring, and he insisted on putting a knife on it to seal it, and finally endured it again: "A small piece of memory is indeed not very important, after all, you will have no problem studying later, but the real problem in that..."

Xie Ke's little heart beat faster.

Professor Xu went on to say: "Not long after you woke up, and after the accident with Li Shiguang's hand—of course he is still your resident doctor—you tell him that you can see that your fingers are deforming."

Xie Ke was speechless: "I said it myself?" So after a long time, I still blame me!

Professor Xu replied affirmatively: "Of course!"

Xie Ke: "Then why don't I know?"

"This is Li Shiguang's fault," Professor Xu sighed, "I think you are a psychopath, or a fantasy. But he insists on thinking that this is caused by his one-size-fits-all approach. So all these years He’s all about neuronal remodeling, and he thinks that as long as he can connect your severed network of neurons through regrowth of neurons, you’ll be back to normal.”

Xie Ke still asked: "Then why don't I know?"

Professor Xu looked at him and said, "That's the problem. The effect of the neuroelectric stimulator, as shown by the EEG, is indeed useful, and the growth of neurons is as he wished, but the price is the loss of a small piece of memory. You also know that the so-called memory is the composition and arrangement of neurons. Although he can make your hippocampus and the severed part more tightly connected by doing this, it will disrupt the arrangement of a small number of neurons at the same time, and it will also cause damage to the hippocampus. It is the part of your memory that disappeared. Fortunately, this part of the memory has nothing to do with your study and life, otherwise it would be difficult to continue... It seems that it is only related to him, or to this kind of treatment. You will forget every time Part of it has to do with Li Shiguang."

Xie Ke: "But I can still see the fingers changing."

Professor Xu said: "After years of treatment, your current strip-shaped brain tissue has been very closely connected with the original hippocampus, and you told Li Shiguang about your fingers every time. The last time After the treatment, you haven’t told him yet. Li Shiguang always thought that the treatment is complete when you can’t see the deformation of your fingers at all. But I have a different view from him. I don’t think you told him It's not because the time it takes you to see your fingers deformed after treatment is getting longer and longer, but because your subconscious positioning of him is changing. From a doctor you absolutely trust to a lover who sleeps by your side. Your love for Li Shiguang I have almost forgotten all the memories of the past, so now your relationship with him is just a couple rather than a doctor and patient, and you will hide your shortcomings from him. I was not sure at first, but I just tried it and found out that you are indeed still I can see it. But you didn't tell him this time."

"No," Xie Ke racked his brains to digest the news, "I don't want to hide this from him, but there are a lot of things that happened recently, so I want to tell him after a while."

Professor Xu looked at his little apprentice and smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter. At first I was afraid that this matter would affect your going to the operating table, but Liu Jianhong didn't even have the ability to keep watch, so you got him out. Since It doesn’t affect your operation. I don’t think it’s a big problem whether it can be cured or not. It’s just that Li Shiguang is a bit stubborn in this regard. Originally, he should tell you these things himself, but he is afraid that when the two parts of the tissue are combined together in the end, You will forget all about him, so you haven’t said anything.”

Xie Ke nodded, he could understand this: "Brother is afraid that I will give up the treatment."

Professor Xu raised his eyes and looked at the ceiling: "I can't control the affairs of the two of you. I had no choice but to stay out of it. But I don't know how many days I can be sober. After thinking about it, I think I should tell you. It’s better to let you make up your own mind.”

Xie Ke said firmly: "Teacher, don't worry, the operation will be absolutely fine. And we also have the best anesthetist."

As for the blood-brain barrier, although it may take a long time, several years or even ten years, from research to experiment to application, he will try his best to realize it.
