Chapter 1,610 The 'bad' reactions caused by 'changing hearts'
【Revision】
At the beginning of a meeting, you must exchange a few pleasantries. This is the practice at the beginning of all meetings around the world. After all, there are still media reporters at such a meeting, and they need to be given interview time. After the interview is over and the reporters leave, the meeting will begin.
It’s officially started.
Still an old man, he spoke first: "The artificial heart you developed this time is very good. It can not only restore the characteristics of a real heart, such as heartbeat and pulse, but it is also safe and reliable. In this regard, it is much better than the current one.
All artificial hearts on the market must be advanced.
We just met the heart transplant patient in your laboratory. Through B-ultrasound and X-ray, we saw the artificial heart in his body, which was very beautiful.
What's even more rare is that this patient recovered very well and is no different from normal people. And I heard this patient say that he is almost no different from ordinary people now. There is no abnormality in his daily life and exercise, and he can't even feel it.
An artificial heart.
I told him that not being able to feel it is the best performance. If you feel it, it would be bad."
Wu Hao listened to Mr. Wan's words and said with a smile: "In fact, we have internal disputes about whether to allow these patients participating in clinical trials to come and meet with you and be interviewed by the media.
We are worried that exposing patients to the camera may have unnecessary effects on their future lives and may even affect their recovery.
However, there are still some people who think this is a good thing. We have to convince the public that we have such technology and have already used it on the human body, and it is safe. Only in this way can more people believe it and accept it.
Use these technologies. Only in this way can more people benefit.
So, we tried to communicate with the patients and wanted to hear their thoughts. What we didn’t expect was that they didn’t mind being exposed to the media, but were very supportive. In the end, we considered the patients
Based on their respective situations, we have selected two clinical trial patients to meet with you, and they will personally demonstrate and talk about their treatment experiences, which is more authentic and credible."
After Wu Hao finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. Cheng Lao looked at him and agreed: "You are right to do this. Of course, such good technology must be vigorously promoted. Only in this way can more people know about it.
With such technology, it is possible to save many lives.
The birth of new technology, especially the birth of new medical technology, will definitely generate doubts. Not to mention this life-critical equipment, everyone is even more worried and afraid. This is understandable, ants are greedy for life, not to mention people. So you must
It is necessary to show real and credible cases to everyone. Only in this way will everyone believe and accept such new technological achievements.
It was precisely because what you showed was real enough that the public believed that you had really developed an artificial heart that could completely replace the heart, that what happened at the gate this morning happened."
Chenglao changed the topic and said: "That woman also believed that the artificial heart you showed was good enough, so she came to the door with such a request regardless of it.
Of course, her behavior was a bit reckless, and in the end you didn't agree. I think this is understandable, and your considerations are right. If you agree rashly, the demonstration effect it will bring may indeed bring benefits to you in the future.
Endless trouble.
However, you may still need a little more heat with this processing method, which is a bit too harsh."
Faced with Cheng Lao's blunt attack, Wu Hao did not have any objection. Instead, he nodded humbly and said: "What you taught me is that I was indeed a little anxious about the situation at that time."
"Actually, I think Xiao Wu's handling is okay. We really shouldn't agree to such a situation rashly. If we agree, it will be really troublesome." Professor Zheng said with a smile to smooth things over.
"Yes, yes, it is understandable to be eager to save people, but using such a method is naked moral kidnapping and cannot be encouraged." Some experts responded.
"Xiao Wu, tell me about the clinical trials of your artificial heart. How many patients have completed artificial heart transplantation so far?" Everyone chatted about this matter for a while, and Mr. Cheng spoke up to bring the topic back. You can see
It turned out that he was very concerned about this.
"Okay." Wu Hao nodded and introduced.
"After the start of the first phase of clinical trials, plus the two emergency patients we introduced at the press conference, we have completed a total of six smart bionic artificial heart transplant operations. The most recent operation was eight days ago
, the patient is a sixty-year-old woman.
These six cases of intelligent bionic artificial heart transplantation were all very successful, and the recovery of the patients was also very gratifying, with no serious discomfort."
"That is to say, during the clinical trial, some patients still experienced some uncomfortable reactions?" Cheng Lao heard the meaning of Wu Hao's words and immediately interrupted him to ask.
Wu Hao was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly in front of everyone's eyes and said: "Yes, two patients have some symptoms of discomfort, one is mild, and the other is slightly serious.
This patient suffered from mild auditory hallucinations. After completing the artificial heart transplant surgery, he would always hear the sound of his heart beating. It was said that the sound was so loud that he could not sleep at all.
In fact, the contraction and expansion sound of our smart bionic artificial heart is very quiet, even quieter than the beating sound of a real heart.
After joint consultation with various experts, we believe that this is a traumatic psychological illness caused by the patient after surgery. Currently, there is no particularly good treatment method. We can only help the patient recover slowly. Of course, this disease still needs
It’s up to the patient to work hard to overcome it, and the doctor can only help.”
Having said this, Wu Hao paused for a moment, then took a breath and continued: "The second patient is a little more serious. Like the first patient, he also had post-operative psychological problems. This patient
After the operation, I developed severe depression. I lost interest in everything, became indifferent, felt depressed, and even had some changes in my personality.
After a joint consultation by experts, it was confirmed that this is postoperative depression. Considering that the patient had no depression before, we believe that this depression should be caused by the intelligent bionic artificial heart. Of course, it may also be caused by the entire operation. However, since
Judging from the current situation, this is most likely due to some negative psychological effects caused by heart-changing. We are also actively studying this aspect.
So, I just want to ask everyone, does ‘changing hearts’ really affect a person’s personality?”
