Healing Doctor

Chapter 601 An Athlete Who Runs Faster Than a Rabbit

As an intern, Lin Jiu's hand gripping the phone made a cracking sound as he heard his teacher say that.

That old bastard Qin Chu only told his teacher and himself that he was a young, reckless doctor, but said nothing more.

If I had known that Ji Xiang was that strong, or even half as strong as he is now, I would never have wasted my precious vacation going back to China to participate in some bullshit variety show.

After chatting with his teacher for a few minutes, Lin Jiu hung up the phone, opened his notebook, and saw an email.

Lin Jiu had virtually no experience with sports medicine, and he expressed his incomprehension of the cases his teacher mentioned.

With medical specialties becoming increasingly specialized, how will patients specializing in sports medicine find themselves?

The email was very large; it took a long time to download.

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and waited quietly, his eyes fixed on the two guide wires that Ji Xiang was controlling.

Much later, after the download was complete, the first thing that caught my eye was a few videos.

Lin Jiu clicked on the first video, which showed a young Chinese football player running.

He ran incredibly fast, using only a slight turn to overtake the opposing defender with sheer speed.

Lin Jiuze doesn't watch football, but he was surprised by the young athlete's speed, especially knowing that the man had undergone cruciate ligament surgery on his knee, which surprised Lin Jiuze even more.

For athletes, a ruptured knee or Achilles tendon will reduce their athletic ability by at least 20%.

This is under the premise of having a world-class sports team perform the surgery and provide post-operative rehabilitation. For an ordinary person, it's almost certain that their life will be ruined.

Simple walking is not affected, but it cannot withstand any intensity.

The surgery was successful, but Lin Jiu wondered how good the person's running ability was before the surgery.

In the video, the athlete used his speed to dribble past three midfielders and defenders, and unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area, sending the ball into the net.

At this moment, a line of numbers appeared on the screen—Wang Dali, 145KM/H.

Lin Jiu knew that this was the speed at which an athlete named Wang Dali volleyed a football, but he wasn't quite sure what 145 km/h meant.

He didn't want to search for himself, since sports medicine had nothing to do with Lin Jiu.

Even a prodigy like Lin Jiuze wouldn't be greedy. He knew that medicine was a vast and complex field, and trying to do too much at once would inevitably lead to failure.

Wang Dali's athletic ability left a deep impression on Lin Jiu.

In the second video, Wang Dali receives the ball and uses a clever feint to get past the defender.

His movements relied entirely on the effort of his knees, which startled Lin Jiu.

Didn't you have anterior cruciate ligament tear surgery? Why are you still using this kind of movement to dribble past people? That will really damage your knees.

But the young man named Wang Dali used this method to get past people, as if he didn't care at all that he had just had knee surgery.

Then Wang Dali broke through to the edge of the penalty area and unleashed another powerful shot.

This kick was even more powerful than the last, making Lin Jiu's eyelids twitch.

However, the video did not provide any data, and Lin Jiu guessed that it was due to the visual contrast; in reality, the power of this kick was probably not as great as the previous one.

But Wang Dali's skillful dribbling proved that his knee did not suffer from serious complications.

Lin Jiu became increasingly interested and clicked on the third video.

This video is even more outrageous. Wang Dali received the ball near the midfield, glanced up at the defender, saw that the opposing goalkeeper was far from the goal, and simply lobbed the ball over the goalkeeper.

This shot, which resembles a Beckham-style long-range lob, is actually quite different.

Beckham has power and skill, but his signature lob shot didn't materialize. Instead, Wang Dali scored with a powerful volley from near the halfway line.

155.4 km/h!

A number appears on the screen, followed by the symbol 3.

If we're talking purely about speed, is he third in the world? Lin Jiu suddenly became interested.

The following video clips are all about that young player who runs faster than a rabbit.

He didn't look injured at all; he was both agile and strong, with his thick thighs exuding primal power, perfectly embodying the aesthetics of violence.

Awesome.

Lin Jiu thought to himself with admiration.

I wonder which sports medicine hospital in Europe performed the surgery; the player is recovering really well.

He wasn't in a hurry. He watched the videos one by one, getting to know Wang Dali before opening the medical records.

Is the Second Affiliated Hospital of the Belarusian Medical University in Kyrgyzstan Province?

A familiar name appeared before him, and Lin Jiu was slightly taken aback.

It is said that the level of sports medicine in China is not high, and it is limited to the treatment of some common diseases.

Liu Xiang underwent Achilles tendon surgery in the United States in 08, and then ruptured it again at the London Olympics in 12. He had surgery performed by Nicholas Cullen, a renowned British expert in sports injuries and foot and ankle orthopedic surgery.

The level of medical care in China is just so-so.

But the performance of the player named Wang Dali was beyond Lin Jiuze's expectations.

The key was that the name of this hospital seemed familiar. When exactly did he hear it? Lin Jiu pondered this as he found the surgical records.

Lin Jiu read the surgical record almost word by word, sketching out the entire surgical process in his mind.

It is indeed a hybrid surgery, but the capillary branches were not anastomosed. Will it have such a big impact on the athlete?

While others don't know when their ligaments will "twist" again after surgery, Zhao Dali is different. He uses his knees without hesitation, and his powerful shots prove that his knee joints have long been healed, with no signs of injury.

Who actually performed the surgery?

Lin Jiu was not familiar with sports medicine. Several names flashed through his mind, but he then rejected them one by one.

After reading the surgical record, Lin Jiuze's body froze as if he had been frozen in place.

A name I knew to the core appeared before my eyes—Ji Xiang!

The name Ji Xiang, appearing as an assistant, struck Lin Jiuze's heart like two bullets.

No wonder the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bai Medical University seemed so familiar; Ji Xiang came from this hospital!

How can he do everything?! Lin Jiu stared blankly at Ji Xiang's name, stunned for an unknown amount of time.

Sports medicine, hybrid surgery, Ji Xiang has such high level of expertise?

The more I thought about it, the more impossible it seemed, but the surgical records and the thrombectomy surgery that the two of them had completed a few days ago popped into my mind again.

Lin Jiu then fell into deep thought.

……

……

"Director, don't ask me what to do next." Director Fan's assistant had completely given up and lay down without any attempt to hide it.

While this episode was well-received, it didn't achieve the desired further progress.

This is not what Director Fan wants. What Director Fan needs is a major breakthrough, to propel the show to the top of the ratings charts among all variety shows in the People's Republic of China.

But that's just a thought; becoming a true king isn't that easy.

Despite the beautifully produced animation and the assistance of experts from Massachusetts General Hospital, the ratings barely remained the same.

Director Fan was particularly dissatisfied with this.
