The netizens in the live stream were also full of amazement after hearing about this treatment method.
“Wait, did I hear that right? Take the bone out, boil it, and then put it back in? Would that even still work?”
“Haven’t you ever boiled pork bones for soup? Once a bone is cooked, it’s definitely unusable. But still, this method really is one of the best ways to treat cancer.”
“It does sound simple and brutal, but the results are really good.”
Modern medicine mainly relies on two approaches to treat cancer.
One is inactivation, which means killing the cancer cells.
Whether it’s targeted drugs or chemotherapy, they’re both aimed at this goal.
The other is control, which means suppressing the formation of new cancer cells.
Inactivation transplantation surgery is one of the better methods for treating bone cancer.
Cancer cells, like other cells, can lose their activity and die due to changes in their external environment.
So, taking the bone out and boiling it to inactivate the cells can greatly reduce the cancer’s impact on the body.
The bone itself will certainly lose some of its activity too, like its ability to produce blood cells, for example.
But the human body has more than just that one bone.
So, overall, it’s a pretty good trade-off to sacrifice one bone in order to eliminate the cancer cells.
After listening to Qin Jiang’s detailed explanation of the surgery, Lu Ping made his decision right away.
“Alright, let’s go with this inactivation transplantation method!”
“Dr. Qin, I can start the surgery now.”
Qin Jiang looked at him.
“Although it’s not a major surgery, we still need a family member to sign the consent form. Do you have any family who can come right now?”
Lu Ping smiled bitterly and said, “My parents are both abroad doing business. I don’t have any family members who can sign the surgery form for me.”
Qin Jiang thought for a moment and said, “Alright, here’s what we’ll do. I’ll give you a surgical plan in a moment, and then I’ll record a video explaining exactly how this surgery will be done.”
“After you fully understand the risks of the surgery, I’ll need you to sign the form yourself.”
Lu Ping nodded.
“No problem with that, as long as we can get my illness treated quickly.”
Ever since being diagnosed with bone cancer, Lu Ping just wanted to have the surgery right away and get better.
Every extra minute waiting meant another minute of risk that the cancer cells could spread.
Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.
“Scan the code to pay first. The total is 95,000.”
Lu Ping almost thought he had misheard.
Only 95,000 for a surgery?
That’s way too cheap!
Ding.
[Detected that the host spoke frankly and directly to the patient, revealing the patient’s hidden condition and greatly assisting the patient. Mission complete.]
[Congratulations, host. You have received a reward: Blood-Nourishing and Mind-Calming Formula.]
After Lu Ping scanned the code and paid, Qin Jiang took out his phone and started a recording. He then explained the entire surgical plan to Lu Ping in detail from beginning to end.
Lu Ping was a highly educated person, so explaining things to him once was usually enough. During the process, Lu Ping would even ask questions about some key points, which Qin Jiang would answer for him.
After confirming that everything was correct, Lu Ping signed his name on the “Surgery Consent Form,” and the surgery officially began.
Qin Jiang had Lu Ping change into a hospital gown, and then they entered the operating room to start the procedure.
Qin Jiang first used the X-rays to determine the main location of the lesion. Then he made an incision, carefully cutting through the skin, avoiding the major nerves and blood vessels, and removed the diseased bone from Lu Ping’s body.
It was the first time the netizens in the live stream had seen such a graphic, appetizing scene.
You have to understand, seeing a bone taken out of a living person’s body is pretty shocking.
“Oh my god, I’m eating a bone-in piece of meat right now, and suddenly it doesn’t taste so good anymore.”
“Oh my gosh, there really is a tumor on the bone! That’s incredible!”
“The more I watch, the more I think life is such an amazing thing. How can a flesh tumor grow on a hard bone?”
As the netizens watched in amazement, Qin Jiang took out the bone and placed it on a tray to begin the inactivation process using liquid nitrogen.
The entire surgery was straightforward and brutal, which many netizens found surprisingly satisfying to watch.
After Qin Jiang put the bone back into Lu Ping’s body, he began to closely monitor the data on the instruments to make sure no other unexpected complications arose.
Seeing that the surgery was completed smoothly, the netizens breathed a sigh of relief as well.
“Compared to operating on the heart, this really is a minor surgery.”
“This surgery should be considered a success, right? This guy is pretty lucky. He met Dr. Qin before the cancer cells could spread, so his chance of a cure should be pretty high.”
“The surgery was indeed successful, but a successful transplant isn’t guaranteed. Any procedure involving transplantation carries the risk of rejection. Now it all depends on how severe Lu Ping’s rejection reaction will be after the surgery.”
Seeing the bullet comments say this, Liu Yan looked very confused.
What exactly is a rejection reaction?
Just then, Qin Jiang came out of the pharmacy after finishing the surgery.
He had arranged for medical staff from a nearby hospital to come. Before Lu Ping woke up from the anesthesia, Qin Jiang planned to transfer him directly to the other hospital for follow-up care.
While Qin Jiang was writing Lu Ping’s medical records, Liu Yan asked curiously, “Dr. Qin, I see a lot of netizens saying that inactivation transplants can cause rejection reactions.”
“Could you tell us what this rejection reaction is all about?”
Qin Jiang explained, “A rejection reaction is a protective mechanism of the body’s own immune system. You can think of it this way: the immune system functions because it distinguishes between ‘self’ and ‘non-self.'”
“The most common rejection symptom is vomiting.”
“For example, if you eat something you shouldn’t, something toxic, your body will react by feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit.”
“Through this reaction, the body can expel most of the toxins, thus preventing further harm to the body. That’s what a rejection reaction is.”
The human body is very fragile, but also incredibly resilient.
Many reactions that seem illogical are actually protective mechanisms that humans have naturally evolved over millions of years.
Things like allergies, vomiting, and shock—these are all self-protection mechanisms of the body.
Similarly, when our body undergoes a transplant, it can also have a rejection reaction.
The immune system first needs to identify whether the thing is part of the body itself. If it recognizes it successfully, everything is fine.
If it doesn’t recognize it, the body will have a rejection reaction, which can be severe enough to be life-threatening in some cases.
Therefore, in organ transplantation, this step is extremely important.
After Qin Jiang’s explanation, Liu Yan and the netizens understood.
“So, in those fantasy novels, when characters casually take someone else’s ‘divine bone,’ that’s actually a suicide move?”
“Exactly. Putting someone else’s bone into your own body—unless it’s from a blood relative—the rejection reaction alone could kill you.”
“Haha, what on earth are you guys discussing? That’s quite the wild imagination!”
