Chapter 1092: A New Era in Medicine

Five minutes later.

Yan Minxia arrived at the stone extraction operation center with her mother.

She thought it was a surgery, and ordinary people carry far too many germs, so they can’t enter the operating room, thus she habitually stood at the door waiting.

The guiding assistant reminded her, “Ms. Yan, you can accompany the elderly into the operation room, which can effectively alleviate her nervousness.”

Yan Minxia was momentarily stunned and suddenly realized, “Isn’t this a sterile operating room?”

The guiding assistant replied, “The stone extraction uses zero-trauma technology, requiring only basic disinfection, not a sterile operating room, thus reducing the patient’s medical costs.”

Yan Minxia was even more surprised.

Such a large kidney stone, the doctors at Ba Yi Hospital have to go under the knife, and yet Tianxing Hospital can perform zero-trauma?

She followed the guiding assistant into the operation room and saw her mother lying on the operating table, with a doctor and a nurse standing next to her.

Judging from this setup, it indeed looked like a minor surgery.

Yan Minxia looked around and suddenly discovered something very important, “By the way, doctor, isn’t there an anesthetist here?”

Even a zero-trauma surgery is still surgery with the target being a large stone in the kidney, and you don’t have an anesthetist, aren’t you kidding?

The doctor, wearing a mask, was busy operating an instrument without looking up, “Guide assistant, please explain.”

The guiding assistant promptly replied, “Ms. Yan, traditional anesthesia methods have certain risks.

“For example, heart disease patients may have arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, etc., asthma or COPD patients may experience airway spasms, hypoxemia.

“Similarly, children’s organs are not fully developed, the metabolism of the elderly declines, so their tolerance to anesthetics is relatively low, presenting higher risks.

“As an example, accidents during anesthesia can lead to cerebral hypoxia, resulting in brain death.

“Tianxing Hospital has completely abandoned traditional anesthesia methods, switching to the more advanced and safer ‘Spirit Plant Anesthesia Method.’

Yan Minxia curiously asked, “What is the Spirit Plant Anesthesia Method?”

The doctor interjected, “Ms. Yan, we’re starting the anesthesia operation now, you’ll understand once you see it.”

With those words.

The nurse opened a nearby refrigerator, took out a sealed plastic box, and directly broke the seal to open the box.

Yan Minxia stepped forward and glanced into the box, seeing two small spheres inside.

One was red, about the size of an adult’s pinky fingertip.

The other was green, a bit smaller in size.

The doctor picked up a pair of tweezers, clamped onto the green sphere, and explained, “This is the anesthetic spirit seed cultivated by Celestial Star Agriculture.

“It can grow anesthetic fibers ten times thinner than hair, which we control to penetrate certain areas of the human body, secreting anesthetic from the fibers.

“This anesthetic is very mild, with side effects nearly negligible, hence the risk is greatly reduced compared to traditional chemical anesthetics.”

He paused, giving an example, “So far, Tianxing hospitals worldwide have performed over fifty thousand malignant tumor removal surgeries using anesthetic spirit seeds with not a single issue reported.”

This example convinced Yan Minxia.

She nodded, “Alright.”

But she still had a question, “Doctor, how do you control the anesthetic fibers to only penetrate the surgical area and not wander randomly elsewhere?”

The doctor pointed to a nearby screen succinctly, “Spirit seeds have spirituality and can understand.”

He brought over a cord whose end had a delicate metal clip, gently clamping the spirit seed.

The other end of the cord was connected to a machine, and the doctor operated it a few times.

Something magical happened.

“Buzz~”

The spirit seed vibrated slightly, swiftly blossoming two tender leaves of bright green.

Yan Minxia watched with wide eyes.

The nurse, quick-handed, applied a pale blue liquid on the elderly woman’s abdominal surgical area, “All set, disinfection complete.”

The doctor used tweezers to place the spirit seed gently on the surgical site.

At the instant it touched the skin.

“Crack!”

The shell of the spirit seed split open.

A mass of white fluffy substance erupted like willow catkins, tightly adhering to the skin surface.

Ordinarily, the fibers were invisible to the naked eye, but due to their sheer number, they formed a cloud.

Yan Minxia grasped her mother’s hand and asked, “Mom, how do you feel now?”

The elderly woman replied, “Feels a bit itchy.”

The nurse interjected, “Itching is normal, the anesthetic will take effect shortly and it won’t itch anymore.”

After a few seconds.

The elderly woman said again, “Doesn’t itch anymore.”

Yan Minxia touched her mother’s abdomen and asked, “Mom, I just touched you, did you feel it?”

The elderly woman shook her head, “Didn’t feel anything.”

Yan Minxia suddenly felt a sense of awe.

An unassuming little seed can actually anesthetize a human body, the era is indeed different now.

In the heart of this middle-aged woman, the traditional surgery methods of Ba Yi Hospital instantaneously became outdated technology.

The doctor glanced at Yan Minxia and said, “This anesthetic spirit seed is a spirit plant cultivated by Celestial Star Agriculture over two years, Yang Fan himself participated in the cultivation.

“If sold abroad, a single spirit seed would cost at least 5000 to 10000 each, while Tianxing Hospital, being a non-profit hospital, only charges 300.”

Yan Minxia nodded repeatedly, “Yang Fan is truly a conscientious philanthropist.”
