Chapter 415 World Peace
Professor Wade's recovery exceeded all expectations.
There were no complications in the intensive care unit after the operation, and he was transferred to the general ward in just one week. Within two weeks, he was able to get out of bed and do simple recovery exercises.
This kind of recovery speed is incredible even for genetic engineering experts responsible for pig heart transplantation.
Even though it is patient zero, it is a xenogeneic organ transplant after all. The possibility of rejection is theoretically unavoidable. The Mayo Center has actually made several emergency plans to deal with the possibility of Professor Wade.
Rejection reaction, early warning.
Unexpectedly, none of these painstakingly formulated emergency plans were used.
With the rapid recovery of Professor Wade, a rumor gradually emerged in the Mayo Center:
"Could all this be related to the chief surgeon, Su Jie?"
"Mysterious power from the East?"
"Will the completion of the surgery really affect the rejection of organ transplantation?"
Some people have even begun to collect information and prepare to write a paper from this perspective to explore the importance of surgeons in organ transplant surgeries.
this day.
Su Jie came to Professor Wade's bedside.
Professor Wade, who had gone through a life and death test, now looked good and had a different look in his eyes.
"How are you feeling today, Professor Wade?" Su Jie asked.
"It's a bit strange." Professor Wade replied.
"Strange?" Su Jie suddenly became nervous. Although the rejection reaction usually occurs one week after the operation, it cannot be ruled out that it will occur later after two weeks. After all, this is a pig's heart, and it has been genetically modified by humans.
Everything is possible.
"Well, it feels a bit strange."
Professor Wade pointed to the location of his heart and said with a wry smile: "Every time I think about having a pig's heart in my chest, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Su Jie: "..."
Professor Wade suddenly burst into laughter at this time: "Just kidding, don't be so nervous. I'm still alive and well. I'm not afraid. Why are you so afraid?"
Su Jie shrugged and said: "In fact, many times the surgeon is more worried than the patient himself. The person who least wants something to happen to the patient in the hospital may actually be the doctor."
"Don't worry, I feel very good. I haven't felt this good in many years. If I didn't need further observation, I would like to go out for a walk now." Professor Wade smiled easily and glanced at the sunshine outside the window.
Bright and warm.
"Then let's go." Su Jie suddenly said.
"Um?"
Professor Wade was stunned. When he saw Su Jie pushing out the wheelchair from the corner, he couldn't help laughing and said: "If the director of the cardiac surgery department sees you doing this, you will be in bad luck."
Su Jie said indifferently: "Aren't you the director? Besides, I will leave after a while. Who can control me?"
"..."
Professor Wade couldn't help laughing loudly, which made the nurses in the corridor couldn't help but poke their heads in to take a look.
"What's going on?" another nurse asked curiously.
"I don't know, Professor Wade hasn't smiled so happily for a long time. It seems like another doctor is packing his wheelchair again."
"Pack up the wheelchair?"
Another nurse asked strangely: "Professor Wade has been required to stay in bed for rest, so why are you packing the wheelchair?"
"How do I know? Maybe I'm going to go out for a walk. The weather is nice today..."
The two nurses suddenly froze and raised their heads at the same time, seeing each other's eyes filled with fear.
"No way……"
But when the two of them hurried back to the ward, they found that Professor Wade's bed was already empty, and the wheelchair next to the bed was missing.
…
The weather is really good today, the air is particularly fresh, and the Mayo Center has its own large park with lush green plants and rich landscapes.
Very suitable for relaxing.
Su Jie pushed Professor Wade and talked while walking.
This was the first time after the pig heart transplant that Professor Wade left the ward. Breathing the fresh air that he had not seen for a long time and looking at the vibrant scenery outside, Professor Wade's mood became very good.
But at this moment, Professor Wade suddenly said: "Actually, the person sitting in the wheelchair looking at these scenery should be Horford."
Su Jie fell silent and did not answer.
Professor Wade took the initiative to ask: "Is Horford still alive now, or has he returned to the embrace of God?"
The tone was very calm, without too much sadness or reluctance.
It is conceivable that in the two weeks after the pig heart transplantation, Professor Wade had too much time to think about himself. Perhaps at the beginning, he would also be sad and sad, but time will gradually fade all this, and let
He can calmly accept all the facts that cannot be changed.
Horford had already reached the end of his life. He had no replacement heart and his remaining time was numbered. Coupled with a severe lung infection caused by smoking...
Professor Wade calculated the time and found that it was almost the same.
"Would you like to meet him?"
Su Jie thought for a while and then said: "See him one last time."
Although he had been prepared for it, when he actually heard these words, Professor Wade couldn't help but feel his heart twitching. The heart that originally belonged to a pig was now endowed with human emotions.
Feeling sad because of the passing of a close friend.
"Well, take me there." Professor Wade said calmly.
The wheelchair turned and headed towards the remote path.
There is a simple chapel deep in the back garden of the Mayo Center. Some religious patients will stop here briefly after passing away to see their relatives and friends for the last time.
Horford is now lying surrounded by flowers, with the God he has believed in all his life above his head.
Horford's family was surprised by the arrival of Professor Wade, but after seeing the deep sadness in Professor Wade's eyes, everyone stepped forward, hugged Professor Wade gently, and then left the small auditorium, leaving behind
Give Professor Wade some time alone with his old friends.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Su Jie pushed Professor Wade to lean in front of the coffin.
Professor Wade looked at his old friend in the coffin in silence. He didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know how long it had passed. Then he stretched out his hand, took Horford's hand up, and pressed it on his chest.
The strong beating of the heart was transmitted to the palms of the two people through the ribs, muscles, fascia, and skin.
This is the beating of life, thick and real.
After doing all this, Professor Wade seemed to have lost all his strength. He gently put down Horford's hand, and then said in a sleepy voice: "Let's go."
Su Jie then pushed Professor Wade and slowly walked out of the auditorium.
After leaving the auditorium and returning to the park, the sunshine was still warm and warm, shining on the body, making people feel that life is beautiful.
But some people can never feel the sunshine and warmth. Maybe their souls have a destination, but the living will never know.
"Hofford's biggest wish during his lifetime was that everyone could live happily in this world, with less disease, less war, less pain, and world peace."
"It's a pity that in the end he died of illness in order to save me."
"I'm sorry for him."
Professor Wade blamed himself deeply.
"I can't blame you." Su Jie didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him.
"Whether it's my fault or not, it doesn't matter anymore. He is no longer here. I want to say I'm sorry to him, but I have no chance."
Professor Wade sighed deeply, and then continued: "However, at least I can fulfill part of his wish."
At this point, Professor Wade suddenly turned his head, looked at Su Jie very seriously, and said: "Su Jie, can you establish contact with the Mayo Center on behalf of your Southeast Hospital? Medical care should not have national boundaries. There must be many in your country."
Patients in urgent need of a heart transplant."
