"With conservative treatment, can the patient wake up?"

Wen Shen asked another critical question.

"It's very difficult. If the mature parasitic worms in the brain tissue aren't removed, they will continuously secrete metabolic products, which will induce persistent brain edema."

Liu Ziang shook his head and said.

Conservative treatment is just a way to address the symptoms. To truly resolve the issue, neurosurgery must be performed to remove the parasites.

"If the adult pork tapeworms aren't extracted from the patient's cranial cavity, they will continue to be active and secrete metabolic products, which will cause even more severe brain edema. This could potentially become life-threatening."

Liu Ziang paused and spoke in a grave tone.

"This presents a great challenge. The field of Perioperative Brain Function and Consciousness Recovery Control is cutting-edge globally. Domestically, only Huang Lao is researching it, but currently, Huang Lao is abroad attending the World Anesthesiology Conference."

Gao Jun, upon hearing this, responded with a grave expression.

"What about remote consultation?"

Liu Ziang asked.

"Research on brain function and consciousness is limited domestically, and clinical data is incomplete. Only by participating in the surgery and monitoring the patient's condition in real-time can we maximize the probability of the patient waking up post-operation."

Gao Jun shook his head and said.

This involves the incredibly mysterious and complex realm of the brain, which cannot be fully understood through simple remote consultation.

With Gao Jun's words, everyone present fell silent.

Through Liu Ziang and Gao Jun's explanation, everyone understood that if the patient continued with conservative treatment, the best outcome might be severe brain function impairment, meaning his life could be preserved, but he would become a vegetative state.

Upon realizing this, the atmosphere on-site became even more tense.

Hearing this, Zhao Heng suddenly recalled that while attending one of Huang Lao's lectures previously, he seemed to have integrated a technique named "Perioperative Brain Function and Consciousness Recovery Control." However, this skill was only at an adept level; presumably, Huang Lao had just started researching it.

Zhao Heng had previously wondered about the application for such a high-end technique.

Now he had an inkling; regardless of the reason for a deep coma state, this technique had practical uses.

Huang Lao was researching an extraordinary technique!

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng couldn't help but be impressed in his mind.

Huang Lao is indeed a towering expert in the field of anesthesiology in the country!

While all other anesthesiologists still focus on anesthesia medication and postoperative recovery, Huang Lao has already ventured into exploring the most mysterious realms of the human brain and consciousness.

"Besides Huang Lao, who else in North City is proficient in this technique?"

Wen Shen couldn't help but ask.

"No one else. Frankly, Perioperative Brain Function and Consciousness Recovery Control is an international frontier discipline. As far as I know, it's not just North City; only Huang Lao in the whole country has the ability to research this field."

Gao Jun shook his head and said.

"Why not connect with Huang Lao via video and hear his opinion?"

Wen Shen suggested.

"That's a good idea."

Gao Jun thought for a moment and nodded.

Given the current situation, even though Huang Lao couldn't return, hearing his thoughts would still be beneficial.

After half an hour.

Remote Consultation Center, Eastern Hospital.

At this moment, Huang Lao was attending the World Anesthesia Conference on the other side of the ocean, while at Eastern Hospital, Gao Jun, Wen Shen, Zhao Heng, and Liu Ziang were online together.

It was morning on this side, but across the ocean, it was already late evening.

Calling Huang Lao at this hour, they all felt slightly apologetic, but it was unavoidable.

Soon, the video connected, and on the other side, Huang Lao, wearing pajamas and reading glasses, was reviewing the patient information Gao Jun sent via computer.

This included the process by which Zhao Heng discovered the patient's brain infection with pork tapeworm.

After a while, Huang Lao slowly began to speak, "The situation with this patient is indeed very complex. Anesthesia would be extremely challenging; it requires experience in brain function and consciousness recovery to ensure the patient can wake up after anesthesia."

As soon as Huang Lao spoke, Wen Shen's face fell. With Huang Lao overseas and unable to return for some reason, it implied that the patient couldn't proceed with surgery at all.

"Nonetheless, there are people domestically who can practically operate this technique."

Seeing Wen Shen's downcast expression on video, Huang Lao paused and then shifted his tone.

"What? Who?!"

Wen Shen, initially feeling despondent, upon hearing this suddenly felt hopeful and couldn't resist asking.

Even Gao Jun and Liu Ziang were filled with anticipation.

"Which hospital's expert is it? We'll invite them immediately."

Gao Jun promptly replied.

Meanwhile, Liu Ziang was quickly thinking through everyone in the country capable of mastering this technique.

"This individual is actually from your Eastern Hospital."

Huang Lao said.

"What? Someone from Eastern Hospital, and I didn't know such a person existed?"

The most shocked upon hearing Huang Lao was undoubtedly Gao Jun.

A skill strongly correlated with anesthesiology and so advanced is mastered by someone in Eastern Hospital, and yet he wasn't aware. This seemed impossible to Gao Jun.

Wen Shen and Liu Ziang were also rapidly pondering which hospital expert Huang Lao referred to.

"This person is amongst you now."

Huang Lao smiled kindly and said.

"Zhao, do you remember what I taught you?"

After a pause, Huang Lao continued.

What?!

Upon Huang Lao's words, Wen Shen, Gao Jun, and Liu Ziang's attention immediately shifted to Zhao Heng, who had been like a wallflower since the video began.

It's Zhao Heng who has mastered this technique at Eastern Hospital?

Initially, Gao Jun found it unbelievable.

Having worked closely with Zhao Heng daily for a long time, how would Zhao Heng have secretly learned and mastered such an advanced technique?

Gao Jun pondered internally.

Both Wen Shen and Liu Ziang were also stunned, looking at Zhao Heng.

Just recently, Zhao Heng made a remarkable pivot by obtaining his anesthesiologist license within a month and becoming a certified physician, which was already unexpected to many.

And now, Zhao Heng had grasped profound techniques that nobody else at the hospital could. This was simply incredulous, beyond understanding!

Could this be the world of a genius?!

"Yes, teacher, I remember it all."

Zhao Heng nodded to Huang Lao and said.

Previously, during one of Huang Lao's lectures, Huang Lao dedicated an entire morning to introducing the advanced technique of Perioperative Brain Function and Consciousness Recovery, which clearly exceeded the students' understanding.

However, during this lecture, Zhao Heng managed to absorb and integrate the technique from Huang Lao.

Following the class, Zhao Heng engaged in deep discussions with Huang Lao about this technique.

Hence, Huang Lao held Zhao Heng in high regard.
