The World's First Hospital: I Build A Palace Of Medicine

eagle country.

Cambridge, Newnham.

Inside a wooden villa.

Robert, a 51-year-old Wei soft engineer, Lucy, a 46-year-old novelist, and Timothy, a 36-year-old Lego company executive, came to visit their father Stephen Hawking together.

Hawking sat in a wheelchair with his head tilted and his body very shriveled from the neck down.

He was suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, paralyzed all over his body, unable to speak, and only three fingers could move around his head.

want to communicate with the outside world.

He must use his fingers to control a high-tech computer program in the wheelchair to read sentences using a speech synthesizer.

Seeing such a father, the three of Robert were heartbroken and admired!

Father was one of the greatest physicists of modern times, enjoying an international reputation in the 20th century.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents!

Modern medicine has never been able to cure the father's disease.

Count the time, Hawking has been in a wheelchair for 52 years!

despite this.

Hawking did not blame others, but kept telling them: "If a person has a disability in body, he must not let his mind be disabled too! Although I have limited mobility and need the help of Xin to speak, my thoughts are free."

Robert explained his reason for coming: "Father, Xiaguo Yinhe Hospital, completed the world's first head transplant two days ago.

They transplanted the head of a patient with spinal muscular atrophy to a healthy body donor through head transplant surgery.

This operation has caused a sensation in the medical world. "

The voice fell.

Lucy also read the news from the tablet to Hawking.

After listening to the news.

Hawking struggled to control the computer intelligence software on the wheelchair.

After a few minutes, the speech synthesizer sounds.

"Okay! Great! Send me to Xia Guo, I want to try this operation!"

Robert said: "Father, do you want to think about it again?

The head transplant operation has been completed, but the patient who received the head transplant will not be able to wake up until 4 weeks later.

My suggestion is to wait a month first.

If that patient recovers, then the operation is a success!"

"Don't think about it!"

Hawking said using a speech synthesizer: "I'm 73 years old, I don't have a few years to live!

If I can experience the feeling of a normal person before I die, I will die without regret.

Even dying on the operating table can promote medical progress.

Of course, if it can be cured, it is the best!"

Burt, Lucy, and Timothy looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

Before coming, they had discussed it in private.

When my father learned that the head transplant was successful, he would definitely be willing to try it himself.

But did not expect.

Father can't even wait a month.

At least we have to wait for the patient to recover before making a decision!

Hawking spoke again with a voice synthesizer: "Lucy, tell me about that hospital in Xiaguo!"

Lucy nodded.

She slowly introduced: "Galaxy Hospital was established in 2014.

With more than 40,000 employees and 20,000 beds, the hospital is the largest in the world.

Since the establishment of Yinhe Hospital, it has completed many difficult surgical operations.

Last month, they completed the world's first human pig kidney transplant operation and the world's first pig heart transplant human operation.

In the field of organ transplantation, Yinhe Hospital is at the forefront of the world!

This time, they dispatched more than 150 doctors, nurses, medical assistants, and psychologists and spent 36 hours to complete the world's first head transplant operation.

Of course, head replacement surgery is expensive, requiring 80 million yuan in Xia Guobi, equivalent to 8.38 million pounds.

The voice fell.

Hawking was silent for a moment.

Then he asked, "Can we afford the cost?"

"Affordable!"

The third daughter Timothy replied: "Father, your "A Brief History of Time" published in 1988 has sold 10 million copies and brought in more than 6 million US dollars in royalties.

You received a $3 million prize in 2012 for your black hole theory.

You received the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in 2013, with a prize of $3 million.

Count the royalties of "Universe in a Nutshell", "A Brief History of Time Sequel", "On Titan's Shoulders", and bonuses large and small.

Our family has a total of 14 million pounds in assets.

"Okay! Then go to Yinhe Hospital for treatment!"

Hawking made up his mind.

At this time, Robert said in a deep voice: "Father, your physical condition is more complicated.

First of all, that patient is paralyzed from the head down, and you are paralyzed from the whole body.

Secondly, you are 73 years old this year, even if the head replacement operation is successful, you will not live for decades.

Because the brain cells are still your 73-year-old brain cells, which are very old.

Finally, I think head transplant surgery is extremely risky and should be carefully considered. "

"I understand, but I want to try it now!"

Hawking replied again.

The three of Robert discussed for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

next.

They bought air tickets to Xiaguo, and were going to undergo head transplantation at Yinhe Hospital.

on the internet.

The news of the successful head transplant surgery is hotly discussed all over the Internet.

In fact, as early as the 20th century, scientists conducted experiments on animal head transplantation.

In 1908, American scientists completed the first dog head transplant.

In 1954, Su Lian scientists concocted a two-headed dog.

In 1956, "Scientists from a major country concocted a two-headed dog.

In 1970, American scientists completed the head transplantation of rhesus monkeys.

In 2001, American scientists completed monkey head transplantation.

In 2013, Xia Guo scientists completed head transplantation in mice.

But alas...

These animals died shortly after head transplantation.

The longest-lived animal lived only 6 days.

The field of animal head transplantation is still so difficult.

Not to mention human head transplants?

But now, Yinhe Hospital has made history!

Major media across the country are also rushing to report.

"Galaxy Hospital completes the world's first head transplant operation!"

"80 million yuan is a high surgical fee, are you willing to change your head?"

"It is possible for human beings to achieve immortality? Doctor Galaxy tells you the answer with facts!"

…… Ask for flowers……………

"Galaxy Hospital breaks the forbidden zone of life! New hope for paralyzed patients!"

"The World's Most Difficult Surgery! The Invincible Galactic Surgeon!"

"Milestones in Human Medicine! Head Transplant Surgery Has Been Realized!"

Under the overwhelming reports.

Galaxy Hospital has once again become the center of the cusp.

As early as last month, pig kidney transplantation and pig heart transplantation caused a lot of controversy.

Now Yinhe Hospital is carrying out a more exaggerated head transplant, which immediately attracted criticism from many people!

"After the head transplant is successful, the body, limbs, fingerprints, etc., all belong to other people. Can the transplanter use this body with peace of mind?"

"Now that organs are in short supply, one body can donate two kidneys, one heart, one liver, and one pancreas. Is it appropriate to use so many organs for one patient?"

"In the legal sense, is the hybrid person after the operation the original owner of the head or the original owner of the body?"

"The cost of head transplant surgery is so high, will the rich people be able to live a second life in the future, while ordinary people can only die?"

"Why do you want to change the head? Isn't the P picture?"

Of course, there are also very many people in favor of head transplantation.

"Head transplant surgery can bring new hope to many paralyzed and disabled people!"

"In 1954, the world's first kidney transplant was successful! At that time, countless people objected, thinking how to use other people's organs. But 60 years later, organ transplantation has become the final solution to many diseases in the medical stage!"

"The success of the head transplant operation represents a new stage in the progress of human medicine! Anyway, I am very much in favor of head transplant surgery!"

"People live in this world, there are too many pains and struggles. Yinhe Hospital can complete the world's most difficult operation, we should be happy!"

Head transplants are hot.

Almost every day, there are countless netizens arguing on the Internet.

And at the end of August.

Two heavy news once again caused a sensation on the whole network.

First, the patient who had previously undergone head replacement surgery officially woke up, with good vital signs, able to speak, and slightly controlled the body.

Currently, he is undergoing rehabilitation training under the guidance of Yinhe doctors.

Expect to start walking within a year.

Second, the surgeons of Yinhe Hospital completed a 36-hour head replacement operation for the famous physicist Stephen Hawking!

Next, Hawking will be anesthetized for 4 weeks to allow the head and new body to fully grow together.

It is expected that within a year, Hawking can resume action and live like a healthy person.

Heard these two pieces of news.

Netizens are very excited.

The head transplant operation at Yinhe Hospital was a complete success!

In addition, physicists like Hawking even tried head transplant surgery.

They all hope that Hawking can recover as soon as possible and leave the wheelchair after 52 years!

It doesn't matter whether the head transplant operation violates ethics or not, and whether it requires an operation fee of 80 million yuan.

At least for this moment.

Everybody knows.

Su Cheng Yinhe Hospital can complete head transplant surgery.

This is the only one in the world, there is no other song!
