Chapter 413: 405 Mayo Clinic

Zheng Ren was busy, at Haicheng Shi Yiyuan, which seemed insignificant in the medical world, doing his best to treat patients.

At the same time.

United States, Minnesota, Rochester City, Mayo Clinic headquarters.

Thirty-eight-year-old Mu Tao was reading, summarizing and recording the experience of the day's surgeries.

After returning to Pengcheng from the capital, he felt the gap.

To become the strongest, one must go to the best hospital and receive the world's most advanced medical training.

I am still young, I can still strive a bit more.

He explained his thoughts to Wu Lao, and Wu Lao gave support to Mu Tao's efforts and perseverance.

Through several friends in the international medical community, he contacted the world's top Mayo Clinic, which offered Mu Tao the opportunity for six months of further study and exchange.

With only six months, Mu Tao cherished it greatly.

Upon arriving at the Mayo Clinic, he hadn't even had time to overcome the jet lag before he began studying day and night.

If the Montreal Medical Center in Canada is among the world's top five, then the Mayo Clinic is undoubtedly number one in the world.

Even in neurosurgery, it is comparable to the Montreal Medical Center in Canada.

Here, Mu Tao came into contact with newer medical equipment, more advanced medical concepts, stronger doctors, and higher-level surgeries.

In interventional medicine, the Mayo Clinic is also of world-leading standard.

Especially for TIPS surgery addressing gastric varices and portal hypertension caused by decompensated cirrhosis, the Mayo Clinic's research is the most in-depth.

An expert in interventional medicine once said that the Mayo Clinic leads the entire world by 5–10 years in interventional surgical technology.

After exposure, Mu Tao believed this judgment.

Not only did he believe it, he also thought the judgment was somewhat conservative.

Being the top mid-generation interventional talent in the country, Mu Tao possessed his own pride and confidence.

But after encountering the Mayo Clinic's TIPS procedure, all that pride was completely shattered.

In Pengcheng, Mu Tao performing TIPS could keep the puncture count around ten needles, with a success rate as high as 85%.

Even Wu Haishi and Wu Lao could not stop praising this disciple of theirs.

This success rate and the superhuman intuition displayed during surgery were called talent by Wu Haishi and Wu Lao.

Mu Tao's talent is very strong.

But at the Mayo Clinic, Mu Tao saw that the doctors performing TIPS basically never needed more than ten punctures.

To address the drawback of TIPS requiring blind puncture of the hepatic and portal veins, the Mayo Clinic is continually seeking better diagnostic and therapeutic methods.

The method currently used at the Mayo Clinic is to leave a specially made catheter in the portal vein as a marker, making the crucial puncture step in TIPS purposeful rather than blind.

This research has long become a paper known to the world.

But knowing is knowing; only after Mu Tao saw it with his own eyes did he realize how remarkably the Mayo Clinic had elevated TIPS to a higher level.

Basically, five punctures are enough to complete TIPS, with a procedure success rate over 95%, and the postoperative hepatic encephalopathy incidence is under 30%.

These figures are all world-class.

Mu Tao felt that the brightest gem on the crown of interventional medicine had already been smoothly taken by the Mayo Clinic.

Study, research, surgery—this has been Mu Tao's main theme recently.

He even cut his sleep down to about four hours.

With only six months, Mu Tao really wished he could split each day in half to use; there is too much to learn and too many surgeries to perform.

Every day, countless dignitaries and wealthy tycoons from around the world come to the Mayo Clinic for medical checkups and treatment.

Simply filling out an appointment form costs 7,000 USD.

This number is undoubtedly terrifying.

But Mu Tao feels it is worth it; even if the price were doubled, facing priceless life, it would still be worthwhile.

Regarding interventional-related surgeries, there are as many as needed; although Mu Tao cannot perform them himself, as an assistant there is still much to learn.

Whenever he was utterly exhausted, with fatigue surging like a tide from his bone joints, Mu Tao would recall those scenes in the capital.

In the country, I must be the strongest, only the strongest!

For this goal, he strives and struggles.

Mu Tao cherishes every minute and second at the Mayo Clinic.

……

In the emergency department of City First Hospital, Zheng Ren was examining a middle-aged man with a cardiac stab wound.

He recovered quickly; now he can independently carry the chest bottle and go to the toilet.

Cardiac stab wound, pericardial tamponade; when urgent, it is truly urgent—any delay in rescue, even if saved, the best outcome is brain death, becoming a vegetative state.

He is undoubtedly fortunate.

On the way back, he said countless words of thanks, and his loved one did the same.

Time healed the wound; the patient's loved one has returned to normal, no longer shocked or panicked from seeing their beloved go from a living person to a corpse that day.

Now she completely does not remember what happened then.

Zheng Ren also did not mention that he had kicked her away with a foot; if the rescue succeeded it's fine, but if it failed, wouldn't he be criminally detained?

The patient recovered especially well, with no postoperative fever and no signs of infection in both lungs on auscultation.

Observe for another week; if nothing happens, the patient can be discharged.

As for the sutures on the chest wall, they need to be removed in a few days at the emergency or outpatient clinic, and then it's fine.

Other patients were also stable; the emergency ward under Zheng Ren's management was orderly.

The key is high surgical skill; just that alone eliminates many hidden risks.

As for more, the other people in Jizhenbingfang all contributed their own share of strength.

Professor Rudolf Wagner adapts well here; in his view, being able to come to this small, inconspicuous hospital in an Eastern city is absolutely God's guidance.

TIPS Surgery, Zheng Ren can succeed in one attempt.

The professor feels that through study, he can also achieve this.

And the patients with prostate hyperplasia have already boarded the train, now passing through Eurasia to arrive here.

Professor Rudolf Wagner has not forgotten his original aspiration; the Nobel Prize in Medicine is the ultimate goal he has strived for his whole life.

He believes that with the help of Zheng Ren, such a miraculous Eastern boy, he has already seen hope.

He is God's guidance.

After finishing rounds and seeing patients, Zheng Ren sits in the office and reads seriously.

Being able to quantify his medical level through the system and accelerate his technical skills, Zheng Ren cherishes this greatly.

Although we don't know why the system's Big Pig Trotter came or when it will leave, at least everything we now have mastered has already saved many lives, which is already enough.

Zheng Ren cherishes every minute and every second.
