Fantasy World Transmigration - 1043. Chapter 1043

Chen Ang’s adjustment of the surgical posture is amazing. Strange observed a clear and clean surgical field of vision, only to realize that he didn’t notice when Chen Ang adjusted the patient’s surgical posture, but he pulled the hook to open the surgical field of vision. The brachial plexus of the patient can be clearly observed.

The ivory white nerves are thin like silver wires and thick like tendons, surrounded by a film-like sheath.

The black fungus is linear and has grown into the membrane-like sheath. The black fungus is entangled with the nerve, and it parasitizes on the nerve. The black veins spreading on the ivory white nerve are particularly conspicuous. It even squirmed slowly, making Strange feel a tingling scalp.

The brachial plexus nerve is composed of most of the anterior branches of the fifth to eighth cervical nerves and the first thoracic nerve.

The fibers of the five roots of the brachial plexus first synthesize the upper, middle and lower three trunks. The three trunks of hair surround the axillary artery to form the medial bundle, the lateral bundle and the posterior bundle. The branches from the bundle are mainly distributed in the upper limbs and part of the superficial chest and back. muscle. But now the fungus infected by wounds has taken root in the medial, lateral and posterior bundles. On one side, it spreads to the brain from the three main branches of nerves, and on the other side to the thoracic and dorsal nerves, long thoracic nerves, axillary nerves, musculocutaneous nerves, and musculocutaneous nerves. The median nerve, radial nerve, and ulnar nerve develop.

The main nerve root has been infected, and the thinnest part of the black line of fungal infection has developed to the nerve branches of the upper thoracic muscles, superficial back muscles, and deep cervical muscles.

If the fungus infects the nerve endings, the consequences will be disastrous, and the patient’s entire upper limb will be controlled by the parasite.

But now the nerves of the upper limbs are not taken care of. The nerves along the three stems are the most complex cistern area of the brain. The cistern is located at the bottom of the brain. It is the complex area where the brain, brainstem and cerebellum intersect. The nerves here The complexity and precision of activities are the most important and deadly areas of the human body.

It can be said that, although surgery on the cerebral cortex and brain lobes is also very important, even if the surgery fails, or some brain tissue is accidentally removed. That doesn’t matter much. The patient will not die immediately. At most, there will be some sequelae of daze, mental retardation, and unresponsiveness. In the worst case-becoming a vegetable (vegetable), it can take a long time for the attending physician to clear the relationship.

There is enough time and reason for doctors to use all kinds of excuses to shirk responsibility.

Therefore, this part of the brain has been used for various important medical breakthroughs. For example, in the infamous anterior lobe resection of the last century, don’t the mentally ill people whose anterior lobe is removed live healthy? And it is quiet and docile like a small animal, so that this operation is hailed as the dawn of a cure for mental illness.

This sensational result until people discover that the reason why mental patients do not get sick is because they have lost the ability to get sick, because they have become semi-vegetative, the most essential ability that distinguishes humans from other animals-thinking, has been deprived! When this treatment mechanism was discovered, the operation was declared illegal.

But the brain cistern is different from the brain lobe, the area that can be used to brush results in the last century. Before micro-neurosurgical surgery was created, it was called a forbidden area. The mortality rate of using a knife here is basically the same as terminal illness. .

It is also because micro-nerve surgery has broken through the forbidden area of the cistern, it is qualified to be called the crown of surgery.

As a former neurosurgeon who was proud of his profession, deeply honored, and regarded it as his life’s career, until his hands were crippled by a car accident and had to be transferred to a legal profession, of course he knew the tricky position. Judging from the degree of danger of the fungus parasitizing on the nerves, once it spreads to the brain cistern, with the enrichment of the nerves there, the rescue can basically be declared invalid.

He had to remind Chen Ang: “We must first stop it from spreading to the cistern. Once it reaches the cerebellar cisternus and the anterior cistern, it can infect the brainstem and cranial nerve plexus at the top, and spread to the spine at the bottom. If the infection reaches this level. , Basically hopeless!”

Chen Ang calmly observed the fungus silk and said, “It’s okay!”

Strange said nervously: “We must grab time… Are you still in the mood to say’okay’?”

Chen Ang replied unhurriedly: “It’s really okay… Fungi have not developed nerve plexuses. They are still simple nerve structures. It can be seen that they are parasitic on human nerves. Let them imitate human nerve structures, but they don’t. It hasn’t continued to develop… It’s a blessing. This time it’s settled!”

Strange watched the fungus spreading on the nerves, and his heart was very urgent. Out of his professional self-confidence, he had to question him: “I think the situation is very bad… Once the fungus infects the brain, we will The patient can be declared dead!”

“Young man, be calm. The situation is not as bad as you think!” Chen Ang still said calmly.

Strange jumped anxiously: “Isn’t this the worst? We sit and watch things go to the worst. What could be worse than this?”

“During my career in surgery, this has been simple!” Chen Ang said with emotion: “There are many more unlucky things, such as the discovery of nerve plexus on infected fungi, which proves that fungi can not only make simple neural responses. , But being able to’think’ and carry out complex neurological activities…that is a more difficult situation.”

“It will react more complexly to your actions.”

Strange understood Chen Ang’s words, and it was precisely because he understood him that he felt scared. Once the fungus can carry out complex neural activities, in the most optimistic situation, it will be’smarter’ than a brain parasite. And they don’t know anything about this fungal parasite, how it will respond to external stimuli, or what irritation the related drugs will produce.

Strange couldn’t help but sweat in cold sweat, and said: “This is really a worse situation!”

“What’s that!” Chen Ang sneered: “Don’t forget, these fungi come from highly intelligent alien races. I have prepared them to develop a complex nervous system before the operation. The only ones who are better are dogs. The IQ, which is a little worse, can reach the level of a six-year-old child like a dolphin. Think about it, if the fungus parasitizing the nerves has the thinking ability of a six-year-old child…”

Strange shuddered. It was an impossible operation. Surgery was an extremely precise and precise operation. What doctors hate most is variables, and a six-year-old child parasitizes the patient’s nerves. This is no longer a variable—it’s simply It was a disaster.

While letting the brachial plexus more exposed in the field of vision, Chen Ang said with emotion: “Although the fungus has a higher level of intelligence, it is already tricky, but in my experiments…no, it is not the trickiest in my surgery career. of.”
