177: Good wife, good wife

Qin Jiang first briefly explained the surgical procedure to the couple, then had the intelligent computer generate the most suitable surgical plan based on Meng Yu's physical condition.

Once the couple understood what the surgery entailed, Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.

"The surgery, plus the previous consultation fees, comes to a total of seventy-three thousand yuan."

Upon hearing the price, the couple both felt a pang of heartache.

Meng Yu opened his mouth, even wanting to tell Yang Yan that he wouldn't go through with the treatment.

But Yang Yan seemed to know what Meng Yu was about to say; she comforted him, "Money can be earned again if it's lost, but if your body breaks down, then you'll have nothing left."

"You're still young, not yet at retirement age. Once this illness is cured, we can continue to work hard."

Yang Yan took out her phone and scanned the code to pay.

Ding.

"[Host detected speaking bluntly to the patient, revealing the patient's hidden illness, greatly assisting the patient. Task complete.]"

"[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Fuzi Fuyang Decoction.]"

Seeing that Yang Yan not only paid immediately but also comforted Meng Yu, the netizens in the live stream were all deeply moved.

"This Buddy is quite lucky; having a wife like that, he's already more fortunate than many people."

"Who isn't? If I had a wife like that, it wouldn't matter even if I got sick."

"What you're saying is, if you can avoid getting sick, it's certainly better not to. But this wife is indeed excellent, after all, Meng Yu himself is probably the most helpless right now."

Husband and wife are like birds of the same forest, flying their separate ways when disaster strikes.

Only when one is young is love truly fearless, believing that two people together can overcome all difficulties.

After all, young people have good health, good energy, and everything is still full of hope.

But it's different when people reach middle age.

With elderly parents above and young children below, life pressure is immense; one could say they are earning money with their lives to support a family.

If someone in the family falls ill at this time, that family is very likely to fall apart.

It was as if Qin Jiang knew the couple worked hard, so the medical fees had already been appropriately reduced.

But even so, it still cost over seventy thousand yuan.

This doesn't even include Meng Yu's future nutritional expenses, which will probably add up to nearly a hundred thousand yuan in total.

One illness consumed nearly a year's worth of the couple's savings.

This is also why netizens were so emotional when they saw Yang Yan comforting Meng Yu at that moment.

A year's worth of savings down the drain; very few people can withstand that pressure and still comfort others.

Yang Yan's inner strength could be said to be immense.

Asking Yang Yan to wait outside for a moment, Qin Jiang led Meng Yu into the operating room.

With everything prepared, assisted by the intelligent computer, Qin Jiang used a scalpel to incise the skin on Meng Yu's neck and began to clear the proliferative tumor on his neck.

Watching the surgical screen, Yang Yan's heart was in her throat.

Although she knew the risk of this type of surgery was very low, seeing her husband's neck being cut open with her own eyes, Yang Yan was still very nervous.

Zou Moli also watched the surgical screen, but what she was thinking was how good it would be if she could go in and perform the surgery with Qin Jiang.

Previously, Zou Moli had also seen Qin Jiang perform surgery on patients at the Hospital.

At first, Zou Moli even thought it was a special effect composite.

After all, she hadn't heard of any company's robotic arm being able to assist in surgery so flexibly and intelligently.

She really wanted to go in and personally operate, to see how the robotic arm would coordinate with her.

"Dr. Zou, is there really no risk with this surgery?"

Liu Yan asked curiously from the side.

Zou Moli collected herself and explained, "Every surgery carries risks; it's just a matter of probability."

"It's like going to have a tooth extracted; there's also a chance of developing facial paralysis."

"If you accidentally pull a blood vessel in the danger triangle, there's also a possibility of life-threatening danger."

"It's just that the surgery Qin Jiang is performing now indeed has a very low risk. The difficulty of this type of surgery lies in the thoroughness of tumor removal."

Liu Yan listened, completely confused.

"What does 'thoroughness of tumor removal' mean?"

Zou Moli glanced at her.

"Do you know how to cook?"

Liu Yan nodded.

"Tumors in the human body, whether malignant or benign, first undergo pathological changes and then proliferate."

"You can understand it as a portion of normal cells first transforming into cancer cells, and then these cancer cells begin to proliferate and multiply, forming a protruding tumor."

"At this point, when we perform surgery, we need to remove the cancerous tissue as completely as possible."

"But in reality, this is very difficult to achieve, just like when you buy a piece of meat and someone asks you to remove all the fascia from it."

With Zou Moli's analogy, the netizens immediately understood.

The difficulty of this surgery lies in preserving as much healthy tissue as possible, otherwise it will cause varying degrees of impact on the original tissue function.

At the same time, the cancerous part must be removed, and removed as cleanly as possible, to avoid the possibility of recurrence.

Liu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Since such high precision is required, why can't machines replace us in performing the excision?"

Zou Moli shook her head.

"Because the machine's target is not pigs, dogs, cattle, or sheep, but living human beings."

"Based on the principle of responsibility for life, in medical surgery, even the most advanced mechanical equipment can only serve as an auxiliary; the chief surgeon can only be human."

"Only humans can be responsible for life."

Just as Zou Moli was saying this, Qin Jiang began to excise Meng Yu's tumor.

Qin Jiang was actually performing this type of surgery for the first time.

He wasn't afraid of surgical failure, but he was worried that his first attempt wouldn't be good enough and would affect the quality of the surgery.

However, just as Qin Jiang made his incision, he suddenly felt that what he saw instantly changed!

It was as if he had a self-adjusting magnifying microscope, able to clearly see the demarcation line between normal tissue and abnormal tissue!

Qin Jiang was instantly shocked.

So this was the so-called microscopic vision!

This was too convenient!

Originally, Qin Jiang was worried that his excision wouldn't be clean enough, but now it was fine.

With this visual aid, the feeling was like having a cheat, he could clearly know where to make the incision for cutting and clearing.

An hour later, Qin Jiang had completely removed all the tumors from Meng Yu's neck and began suturing.

After everything was done, Qin Jiang walked out of the operating room.

After changing his clothes, he said to Yang Yan, "The surgery was very successful. His anesthetic effect should wear off in a little while."

"I'll contact other Hospitals to have him transferred, after all, he's had surgery and will need some time to recover."
