After taking a break in the changing room, Yang Ping planned to go home for dinner and play with his son. The little guy would get immensely happy every day when he saw him.
Just out of the operating room, the resident doctor of the Institute, Dr. Li, called to say that the Trauma Emergency Center had transferred a decapitated patient and specifically requested Professor Yang from the Institute for urgent technical support.
Decapitated? Yang Ping was astonished.
The head and body separated? And still alive upon reaching the hospital? How could that be possible? Is head reattachment intended?
In so many years of practice, I've seen hand reattachment, foot reattachment, ear reattachment, tongue reattachment, and genital reattachment, but never head reattachment.
Brain tissue suffers irreversible damage in 4-6 minutes of ischemia and hypoxia. If the head truly separated from the body, how could there be any chance of reaching the hospital alive?
