I'm a god of medicine

Chapter 246
After lunch, returning to the dormitory and lying on the bed, Yang Xi finally remembered that the system's tasks for this week had not been completed.

Thinking of the content of this week's mission, Yang Xi was very angry. He had to force a surgeon to learn the treatment principles of linear accelerator and gamma knife. Isn't this the same as asking a sniper to practice cutting people with a kitchen knife? !
The linear accelerator is an indispensable cancer treatment tool for the radiotherapy profession, and the Gamma Knife is an upstart in the radiotherapy equipment. It has gradually been recognized by the big names in the field of radiotherapy in the past ten years.However, in Yang Xi's perception, radiotherapy is just a supplement to surgery in the treatment of cancer.

For example, postoperative radiation therapy can eliminate tiny lesions that are invisible to the naked eye.Another example is that the operation is too difficult and the tumor cannot be completely removed. Radiotherapy is used as palliative treatment to delay the progression of the disease.

Yang Xi's cognition is not an isolated case, it is mostly like this in surgical films.The specialty of radiotherapy is necessary and meaningful, but compared with surgery, its status is still a few levels lower. Since the hospital has a radiotherapy department, and there is no shortage of radiotherapy doctors, then let an excellent What's the point for surgeons to learn and master the treatment principles of linear accelerator and gamma knife?

With emotion, Yang Xi summoned the system interface and checked the various data one by one. He thought, if he can survive a week without completing this week's task, then he might as well give up this week's task altogether.Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to go to the hospital library to borrow books or buy books online.

However, when Yang Xi turned to the page of the system mall, he couldn't help hesitating for a moment.Under the two rows of surgical skill cards, in the third row, there are actually two books hidden, "General Introduction to Radiation Therapy" and "Therapeutic Principles and Clinical Applications of Linear Accelerator and Gamma Knife".

The price tag is only 9.9 yuan.

The two books plus one cost only 19 yuan and 8 cents. Buying it, reading it casually, and barely completing the task of the system this week is an acceptable choice.

Click to buy, and after paying, two e-books are presented in front of Yang Xi.

The theoretical part is really boring, so I directly read the clinical application of the second book, but unexpectedly, after reading only the first case, Yang Xi was deeply immersed and unable to extricate himself.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the golden case of linear accelerator, is far more effective than surgical resection.

How is this possible! ?

Yang Xi couldn't believe it, let alone accept it.

But in the book, there are not only single case treatment statements, but also a lot of literature for each disease type, each of which is published in an authoritative medical journal, which makes Yang Xi believe it.

Looking at the clinical application of Gamma Knife, there is also its golden case, central lung cancer.

Yang Xi immediately thought of the surgical treatment of central lung cancer. Different from peripheral lung cancer, only local resection is required. When thoracoscopic technology is becoming more and more mature, there is no need for thoracotomy. For patients, trauma is not necessary. It's too big, and it's easy to recover after surgery.

But central lung cancer is not that simple.

Unless it is discovered early, a thoracotomy will be performed. Moreover, since the cancer often invades the hilum, pneumonectomy on one side is required if the hilar structure cannot be preserved.

For the patient, the trauma of the operation would be severe. Among other things, the compensatory recovery of postoperative lung function is an extremely long process.

What about the prognosis for operable treatment?

The median survival time of surgery plus chemotherapy is not as good as that of Gamma Knife plus chemotherapy.

Moreover, the difference is not even a star.

It's bloody!

This is simply a humiliation to Xiao Ye, a surgical genius.

The young master must study carefully to find out their academic shortcomings and get rid of their arrogance.

Two books, 60 million words, are not like reading novels where ten lines can be read at a glance, and a rough plot of the story is enough.Moreover, the subject of radiotherapy was just an investigation subject when Yang Xi was in college. After learning and taking the exam, he threw it aside. Now he picks it up again. First, all the previous memories have been forgotten, and second, the theoretical depth has increased a lot. .For Yang Xi, this is a brand new field, and without the help of a super memory card, it is not easy to learn.

But people with a nagging personality just have a nudge. Since he said that he must study seriously, no matter how difficult or boring, Yang Xi would not give up easily.

An hour later, Yang Xi seemed to see some light from the book.

After two hours, Yang Xi's chaotic thinking seemed to be organized.

three hours passed...

……

It was dark outside the window, and my stomach was growling loudly.

What time is it?

Waving his hand to hide the page in front of him, Yang Xi found the phone, looked at the time, and couldn't help but gasped.

22 points.

What time will it be when you lie on the bed after eating?It seems to be less than one o'clock at noon.

More than 9 hours have passed, and I barely read these two books. Although the system did not give a reminder to complete this week's task, Yang Xi felt quite at ease.

It is often said that when a person's cognition is subverted and a new cognitive structure needs to be re-established, the process is almost painful.But at this moment, Yang Xi has a rough understanding of the principles of radiotherapy and the treatment principles and clinical applications of the two heavy radiotherapy devices. There is indeed a process of cognitive reconstruction. However, this process does not make Yang Xi feel painful, on the contrary. He did feel quite comfortable.

In the field of tumor treatment, if it is said that surgery is not a panacea, then it is not a panacea. If it is said that radiotherapy is actually very important and powerful, then it is very important. As long as it is good for the patient, it should not be operated on. , should be sent for radiotherapy, then sent for radiotherapy, what is so depressing?
Go out and get something to eat, and when you're full, come back and continue studying radiation therapy!

At this moment, Yang Xi didn't expect any rewards for completing this week's tasks at all. He was really attracted by radiation therapy.

Putting on his coat, he left the dormitory and came to the gate of the hospital. He inadvertently noticed a wretched little old man standing by the side of the road not far away.

"Hehe, isn't this an old man? I am Yang Xi, from the general surgery department, don't you remember?"

Old Zhang looked at Yang Xi squintingly, and snorted coldly: "I don't suffer from Alzheimer's, why can't I remember you?"

Yang Xi's face is really not thin, he hugged Lao Zhang's shoulders like a familiarity, and said seductively: "Are you busy? If not, let's have a drink?"

Old Zhangtou smiled and said, "Just you? Just pour three glasses, and you want to drink with me?"

Yang Xidao: "The distribution principle of communism is to each according to his ability and to distribute according to his needs. Old man, can't we enter communism early?"

Old Zhangtou snorted again, and said, "You drink water and let Old Zhangtou drink, right?"

Yang Xi said seriously: "Wrong, you are the one who drinks water, and I, Yang Xi, drink."

Old Zhang was stunned, and said sullenly: "Then you're still drinking!"

Yang Xi made a thought, and replied: "Since you object, then just change it. You drink, I drink water."
