When the Doctor Uses A Hack

Chen Cang suddenly realized that Zhou Hongguang had a pretty hard head.

The empty bottle smashed on it, yet his scalp didn't break.

All that was left was the alcohol.

No need to worry anymore.

Chen Cang said calmly, "Who says Parkinson's can't be treated?"

This sentence directly stunned Zhou Hongguang, leaving him at a loss for words!

If someone else had said this, Zhou Hongguang would have only one thought: idiot, arrogant, nonsense!

But when Chen Cang said this sentence, he was truly dumbfounded!

He suddenly looked up, staring at Chen Cang, with tears and wavering faith in his eyes.

These are the eyes of a fifty-something still harboring dreams!

"Really?"

Zhou Hongguang said two words after a long while, as a question!

Chen Cang nodded, "Yes, there's a chance!"

Zhou Hongguang wanted to stand up, but the effect of the alcohol made him stagger for several steps before he could barely stabilize himself by leaning against the wall!

He grabbed Chen Cang's arm with both hands, his eyes pleading, "Really? Professor Chen... I..."

Chen Cang responded with a hum, "Yes, there's great hope!"

Chen Cang could only say this.

Stereotactic technology for treating Parkinson's requires intracranial surgery.

But if Parkinson's were really that simple, it would have been conquered many years ago!

Chen Cang's stereotactic surgery technology for Parkinson's only offered a chance.

One must know, the main pathological changes in Parkinson's patients are the loss of pigment, neuron loss, and gliosis in the substantia nigra.

Especially in the compact part of the substantia nigra and the locus coeruleus; their appearance means neuronal degeneration also occurs in the dorsal vagal nucleus and medullary tegmentum.

Through surgical dissection... one can even see the color of the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus becoming lighter, paler.

However, these are only pathological changes; the current cause of the disease is still undetermined.

In the medical field, the useful approach to finding no cause is to look for genes.

Currently, Parkinson's is only recognized from a few aspects.

Firstly, aging, much like machines, starts to develop some minor issues; anyway... explaining with this is never wrong for any illness.

Secondly, hereditary factors, well... many people have found that what appears in the ancestors might also appear in many family elders.

However, it's not clear whether to call it dominant or recessive inheritance.

Yet, through detailed investigations into the family history of Parkinson's patients, it's widely acknowledged etiologically that at least part of the disease stems from genetic factors.

When the first patient appears in the family, other family members may be in subclinical states that are easy to overlook, creating a false impression of low familial incidence, whereas, in fact, these pose potential onset possibilities.

Other factors include some environmental, infections, oxidative stress reactions that have direct or indirect relationships.

If the cause can't be found, modern medicine can only treat the symptoms!

What is symptom treatment?

It means lowering fever if there's a temperature, relieving pain if there's pain.

Surgery, in fact, is an intuitive medicine. Only when you know the appendix is inflamed, and it's useless, can you remove it!

But the lesions in the brain's substantia nigra can't possibly all be removed, right?

That's entirely unrealistic!

In the methods of using stereotactic technology to treat Parkinson's that Chen Cang currently masters.

It's an advanced version of stereotactic technology: microelectrode-guided stereotactic technology!

Using microelectrode recording and analysis of cellular discharge characteristics, one can precisely locate neuronal functions to eliminate tremors and muscle rigidity, thereby improving surgical safety.

Therefore, Chen Cang feels it's worth a try!

However, the success rate can't be guaranteed to be 100%!

Perhaps such a surgery doesn't exist with a 100% success rate.

Chen Cang has performed thousands of surgeries, yet there's still the possibility of failure, mainly due to complications like limb paralysis, tremor control not lasting, and even worsening the condition.

So, Chen Cang figured it out.

This perfect-level surgery has its limitations.

But!

Looking at the practically lifeless Zhou Hongguang now, Chen Cang smiled, "Let's go, let's find another place to drink."

Zhou Hongguang was stunned, "Why?"

Chen Cang couldn't help but say, "Perhaps after this drink, you might not be able to drink alcohol in the future!"

"Today I'll treat, drink as much as you want!"

While talking, Chen Cang called a car and headed straight to the bar.

In the bar, men and women of all sorts were in an environment filled with noise, bass, and darkness, seemingly releasing their inner selves.

At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly felt that sometimes, people really do need to let go.

He suddenly understood why many hospitals in developed countries like Japan and America have bars.

Because the long-term oppression and confinement of the environment inherently cause emotional accumulation.

These negative emotions are best released.

Zhou Hongguang wasn't in the mood to drink now.

He had a bellyful of words he wanted to ask Chen Cang.

"Professor Chen, what's the situation exactly?"

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

"Please tell me quickly!"

Zhou Hongguang was almost dying of anxiety, his eyes even showing a wolf-like intensity.

This is longing!

Chen Cang wasn't ignoring Zhou Hongguang, but rather... purely because there were too many girls around.

He had to send them away.

Sometimes, outstanding people attract too much attention.

After sending the girls away, Chen Cang finally looked at Zhou Hongguang, "I can treat Parkinson's."

Though spoken very calmly, this sentence left Zhou Hongguang dumbfounded!

"You... you... what did you say?"

Zhou Hongguang widened his eyes, staring at Chen Cang, thinking he misheard.

The noise in the scene was too loud.

He grabbed Chen Cang's hand.

Chen Cang smiled, "You didn't hear wrong!"

"I said I can treat Parkinson's!"

Hearing this, Zhou Hongguang held his breath and swallowed, "Professor Chen, you wouldn't lie to me, right?"

Chen Cang responded, "I'm not lying to you, I really can treat it!"

"But..."

Zhou Hongguang downed the wine in his glass in one gulp!

The sixty-plus degree alcohol burned down his throat.

Today, he just wanted strong liquor!

"But what?"

Zhou Hongguang suddenly turned his eyes, "I have money!"

"Professor Chen, I have houses, three in the capital!"

"I can give them all to you! Really, yes... This is my car, an Audi Q7!"

"Really, Professor Chen, please save me. I want to be well, I still want to have surgery, I still want... I don't want to just settle like this!"

"You know, I've worked hard all my life just for today, but... what's it like when the dream is about to come true and suddenly shatters?"

"I don't want to fail again!"

"Sometimes I'd be willing to trade 20 years of my life for ten years of health!"

"Please, Professor Chen... I really want to be well!"

Zhou Hongguang was already drunk.

Tears and snot flowed down his face together.

Others were celebrating and laughing in the bar.

And he... was crying here, incredibly heartbroken.
