Chapter 687 Going to Dongshan Province
"How much does a liver transplant cost?" the woman asked.
"One or two thousand." Song Tingshen said.
"It's so expensive?" The woman was surprised. During this period, a month's salary was only more than 100 yuan at most. What is the concept of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, a salary of more than ten years.
Of course, wages will increase dramatically in the next two years to the 1990s. They don't know this. But when wages go up, prices go up, too.
However, during this period, 10,000 or 20,000 ordinary families could not afford it, and it was no different from hundreds of thousands in later generations.
"Because liver transplantation requires very high skills, most people can't do it, and the corresponding medical equipment and related drugs are very expensive, as well as hospitalization expenses, etc." Guo Xiang explained.
"How about a liver transplant?" the woman asked.
"Usually the mother's liver is used. Of course, it still needs to be checked to see if it can be used. Most of them use the mother's liver." Song Tingshen said, "The child is small, and cutting a quarter of the mother's liver is almost enough. Then the child's bad liver is removed, and the mother's liver is transplanted into the baby..."
"Why is it so expensive to use my own liver?" The woman was still puzzled.
"If you use someone else's liver, it will be more expensive. It costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan." Guo Xiang said, and other people's livers can't be used, so they can only use corpse livers. , but the child can't wait that long.
"Well, then I'll go back and ask my family and find a way to raise money..." The woman said cowardly, she naturally wanted to save the child, but the family really didn't have that much money.
"Okay, you can discuss it and come back again." Song Ting nodded deeply and decided that he had to do it himself at the patient's home.
Two days later, the woman and her husband came with the child and said that they had raised 10,000 yuan. Let's see if they can be hospitalized for surgery first, and then if they are not enough, they will continue to borrow.
Song Ting nodded deeply, the upfront expenses are enough, let's take it slow in the future, the hospital does not require all the money to be paid at one time.
For children, most families are more willing to spend money than for the elderly. Many people think that the elderly will not live for a few years, and the money is wasted. However, children are different. They still have a long life and hope. .
After the hospitalization procedure, the next step is a series of examinations.
The result is that the mother's liver can be used for the child, and after a few days of preparation, the operation can begin.
Guo Xiang and An Zehan were both a little excited. Since the first liver transplant operation, they have never had the chance to have the operation again. This time, although Teacher Song is the main surgeon, this time they can both have it. Do one and two.
However, this time it was a baby liver transplant, which was more difficult. The baby's liver was originally small, the blood vessels were smaller, and there were so many arteries and veins to be anastomosed. Isn't the operation not an ordinary one?
Song Tingshen had done it once, and he already had experience. An Zehan was very nervous, for fear that he would be a drag on his uncle and Guo Xiang if he couldn't do it well.
"Don't be afraid, Mr. Song has experience. You can do what he says, just do it a few more times." Guo Xiang encouraged An Zehan.
Opportunities are rare, especially for liver transplants, which few people in the country can do.
Now I do it a few more times with Teacher Song, and in the future he will be able to stand alone and become an excellent surgeon.
"Yeah!" An Zehan nodded, knowing that his uncle and Guo Xiang would teach him unconditionally, he was very lucky, he had to study hard.
From the removal of a quarter of the liver from the mother's body to the seven hours of transplanting the baby, the three of them were very attentive throughout the whole process, including the anesthesiologist and the surgical nurse, and the operation was very successful.
Everyone was exhausted after the operation.
But I am happy that the surgery was a success.
Of course, it also depends on the next care, the child is very important, and it should not be sloppy at all.
On the other hand, Gu Zhennan went to the northeast, and the machinery factory was loading the trucks and preparing to send the offshore oil pumping equipment to Dongshan Province.
Although he is the general manager, he has learned technology, so he plans to go there in person. After all, this is the first production in the offshore pumping unit factory.
This time Minister Zhang also came to the northeast from the capital.
"How about the oil-on-oil pumping equipment in your factory this time?" Minister Zhang asked.
"It shouldn't be bad." Gu Zhennan said, "Our factory now has its own research institute, which are all experts and professors invited by the University of Petroleum and some university students majoring in machinery. There is still no problem in terms of technology."
"What do you think about the development of CNOOC in Dongshan Province?" Minister Zhang asked.
Gu Zhennan was a little surprised, why did he ask himself this?
"I'm not a petroleum exploration major. Although I have studied in school, I have no experience and I don't know much about ocean exploration." Gu Zhennan said truthfully.
"But I think you have done a good job. The waste oil wells you selected and the oil well for polymer flooding are not all good. It seems that you have experience." Minister Zhang smiled.
That's all the credit of the daughter-in-law, Gu Zhennan thought to himself, of course it's hard to say, "That's different from the offshore oil field."
"That also shows that you have vision and skills." Minister Zhang said, "If you were given a team to do offshore oil exploration, would you dare?"
"This..." Gu Zhennan hesitated, he really wasn't sure, although he had been self-taught in oil exploration, the ocean and land were different.
"This marine exploration meeting on the Dongshan side happens to be the time when you are going to send the machinery there, so you can also join us," said Minister Zhang.
"Can I do it?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"Of course, you forgot that you also invested in our oil group. Although not many, you are also an 'independent director'." Minister Zhang said with a smile.
Gu Zhennan was stunned, not to mention that he forgot that he was still an independent director of the oil group. Usually the group didn't let him go, and he almost forgot that he still had this important identity.
"Okay!" Gu Zhennan nodded, since Minister Zhang said he could go, let's go.
Before leaving, Gu Zhennan called Guo Xiang, "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to Dongshan Province soon, and then I won't be able to find me here, I'll call you again to tell you the new phone number there, Don't call the factory."
"Oh!" Guo Xiang nodded.
"By the way, Minister Zhang is also here today, and he told me to attend the offshore oil production meeting over there. I forgot that I am still the independent director of the group." Gu Zhennan laughed.
"Let you attend the meeting?" Guo Xiang was also a little surprised, "Is it the shallow sea over the Bohai Bay over Dongshan?"
Guo Xiang recalled that in the 1990s, he seemed to have discovered a shallow-sea oil field with an annual output of more than 2 million tons in the shallow sea area of the Bohai Sea, which was the largest shallow-sea oil field that could be directly developed 2,000 years ago.
His father was a professor at the University of Petroleum in his previous life. He was very excited when he got the news at that time. Not only in class, but also at home, he said it many times, and TV news also rushed to report, so Guo Xiang was very impressed.
