Everyone in the operating room was watching Zhao Heng as he analyzed the EEG readings.
EEG patterns are very complex. If an ordinary doctor were to look at them, they might at most distinguish between normal and abnormal. Even for a professional neurosurgeon like Liu Ziang, he can only differentiate between EEG patterns for epilepsy, brain inflammation, and migraines.
Finding a special pre-activation state in complex EEG patterns, as Zhao Heng did, is akin to mysticism for average doctors.
Standing by the side, Xu Man Ni felt a surge of pride seeing Zhao Heng being the center of attention.
This is the man she has her eyes on!
Xu Man Ni couldn't help but think to herself.
Zhao Heng carefully observed the EEG patterns, combining the experience of fallen knowledge from Mr. Huang with his previous teachings, meticulously observing the subtle changes in the EEG.
After a while, Zhao Heng's expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "It's ready."
"Ready?"
When Zhao Heng said this, Wen Shen was puzzled, and the others weren't much better off because they hadn't noticed anything special in the EEG patterns at that moment.
They didn't realize that Zhao Heng had memorized all the frequency and amplitude changes from the beginning to the time brain cell medication was used. Only by integrating these data could Zhao Heng make an overall assessment to determine that the patient's brain had entered a pre-activation state.
This is where the difficulty of the technique lies. Pure data analysis is something most clinicians can do, but that involves collecting data, inputting it into a computer, and slowly analyzing it by building models.
In the rapidly changing environment of the operating room, real-time analysis for individual patients requires real-time modeling and data analysis capabilities.
To put it plainly, this is a computer's ability and not something a person should possess.
Zhao Heng was able to reach this level because he had completely absorbed Mr. Huang's skills and experiences.
Mr. Huang, however, accumulated a lifetime of experience to achieve this.
"Senior, you can start the surgery now."
Zhao Heng said to Liu Ziang.
"Okay."
Liu Ziang nodded, trusting Zhao Heng's judgment. This was a genius like him, someone he even found difficult to keep up with in some areas.
Very soon, the surgery began.
Cranial surgery, for a neurosurgical expert like Liu Ziang, was a routine operation.
Thus, the step of opening the skull proceeded smoothly.
Once the skull was opened, the patient's brain tissue was exposed.
Hiss!
Everyone inhaled sharply when they saw the exposed brain tissue.
To put it simply, it looked like a piece of white tofu riddled with tapeworms, constantly wriggling.
It also resembled a white lotus pod, densely packed with seeds, a sight enough to make someone with trypophobia dizzy and nauseous.
Even those in the operating room couldn't help but feel their stomachs churn at the sight.
No wonder there was brain edema; the pork tapeworms have made a nest in the brain!
But that didn't faze Liu Ziang. He had seen all kinds of cases.
"Get the microscope."
Liu Ziang said calmly.
Removing adult worms and their eggs from brain tissue isn't as simple as using tweezers to pluck them out.
During removal, the worm body mustn't be broken, and care must be taken not to injure brain tissue when the worm struggles.
Therefore, this extraction process must be performed under a high-powered microscope.
However, operating under a microscope isn't ordinarily difficult.
Performing surgery on the brain requires the surgeon's hands to be exceptionally steady and precise.
Once a microscope is used, even the slightest tremor of the surgeon's hands is magnified several times, so surgeons with insufficient skill wouldn't dare touch a microscope.
Soon, Resident Xiao Wang brought over a microscope, and Liu Ziang began extracting worms from the brain tissue under its lens.
During this process, everything Liu Ziang saw through the microscope was clearly displayed on the electronic screen connected to the microscope.
The already visually impactful sight of the white lotus pod was even more pronounced under the microscope's magnification.
Under the electronic microscope's magnification, the head of the pork tapeworm was vividly enlarged on the screen, all details clearly visible.
Zhao Heng observed that the pork tapeworm's head had grayish-white suckers on both sides, and at the center was a huge mouth filled with barbs and hooks, magnified on the screen.
If the pork tapeworm were magnified to the size of a python, it could undoubtedly be used for some horror movie about subterranean creatures!
Thinking about this made Zhao Heng look admiringly at Liu Ziang.
This Liu Ziang was indeed brave—such a stomach-churning sight that could make one lose their appetite for days didn't faze him, and his hands didn't tremble in the slightest.
Those who become surgical masters are never simple!
Before long, with Liu Ziang's exquisite technical manipulation, the adult worms and eggs parasitizing the brain tissue were all extracted and placed in a tray beside him.
Looking at the still wriggling adult worms, Liu Ziang couldn't help but comment, "Everyone should avoid eating raw food, especially meat products, in the future!"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
No kidding, seeing so many worms removed from someone's brain, who would still dare to eat raw meat products unless they had a death wish?!
An hour quickly passed, and Liu Ziang smoothly extracted all the pork tapeworms from the patient's brain tissue without breaking a single adult worm or egg.
It must be said, Liu Ziang certainly had reason to be proud; his technique and the steadiness and precision of his hands were unmatched in all of Eastern Hospital.
Witnessing this scene, Zhao Heng thought how wonderful it would be to acquire the sensitivity, precision, and steadiness of Liu Ziang's hands.
However, in this surgery, the only skill that fell for Zhao Heng was a mastery level craniotomy, which was better than nothing.
Who's in their right mind would casually perform craniotomies on others...
Zhao Heng didn't think he'd ever have to use this skill.
Since obtaining his golden finger, Zhao Heng had been picking up experience skills from various doctors, many of which were repetitive.
Nevertheless, this greatly improved Zhao Heng's overall skills.
The Eastern Hospital, being the top hospital in the country, was the most suitable place for Zhao Heng's golden finger.
Someday, Zhao Heng would reach a peak beyond which he couldn't go, limited by the skill levels of the hospital's doctors.
But that's a matter for later. At the current progress, Zhao Heng felt he could use his golden finger to glean from the doctors of Eastern Hospital for quite some time.
