Healing Doctor

Chapter 671 How is Neymar's recovery going?

"There is a very painful truth: children from ordinary families are expected to excel in mathematics, science and engineering, medicine, or computer science."

These are the things that will enable children to earn money in the future.

Moreover, these subjects are extremely difficult; those spoiled brats can't handle them. This technical barrier is your guarantee of success.

"The kids from wealthy families at Ivy League schools in the US are very hardworking; they study while taking medication. It's not like what people in China think—that their fast-paced education is just for fooling the poor," Lin Jiu corrected a misconception Zhao Zhe held.

"Hahaha, is that so? I thought rich kids all went to study philosophy and art." Zhao Zhe wasn't embarrassed at all, he laughed and continued.

"Can we afford to study humanities? Can we afford to study art? How much money do you have at home? Are you rich?!"

"And even if the child studies humanities, art, or philosophy, they still won't be able to find a good job after graduation," Zhao Zhe continued rambling.

"You can study finance; it's quite lucrative. I have a classmate who stayed in Flower Street, and he's doing pretty well now," Lin Jiu said with a smile.

Not long after he returned, his way of speaking had already changed from when he was in Massachusetts, and he quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the Second Affiliated Hospital.

If you didn't know his past, you would think Lin Jiu was a native doctor.

Even someone as talkative as Zhao Zhe could exchange a few words with Lin Jiu, provided that Zhao Zhe was aware of his presence.

"Finance and business majors rely on their parents' resources. Look at those who study abroad, especially those studying business or finance, many of them are spoiled brats who don't even go to class."

He doesn't care about grades; he just wants a diploma, or even something as simple as wasting his time. He plans to return home and inherit the family business in a few years if things don't work out.

"As for the occasional exception, that's just sampling bias and doesn't mean much. For example, from a domestic perspective, banks are good institutions, but without resources, going to a bank..."

Zhao Zhe rambled on and on.

Lin Jiu listened with a smile, without the slightest hint of impatience.

Zhao Zhe is usually a chatterbox, and when he talks about his son, he goes on and on.

"I didn't have opportunities before, and I was out of step with society. Now I have to work hard."

"What are you trying to do?" Lin Jiu found Zhao Zhe very funny.

"Try to leave my son with the cost of trial and error." Zhao Zhe said, habitually turning his head to the side, and the next second he was startled again.

Having done this many times, his body must have become somewhat prepared. He didn't clutch his chest, though his body trembled slightly.

"Young people shouldn't be as worldly and jaded as middle-aged people. They should experience the cruelty and beauty of this world for themselves. They will get hurt, they will regret their impulsiveness and recklessness, and they may even pay a heavy price for it."

"As a father, I think the only thing I can do is give my son a chance to make a comeback, and it's the only thing he can accept."

Lin Jiu felt something and patted Zhao Zhe on the shoulder.

"Dr. Zhao, you're amazing."

"As parents, this is only natural. You have no idea how smart my son is."

Starting with the initial push and then moving on to trial and error, Zhao Zhe continued.

Lin Jiu stood up and stretched.

"Ah! Right, I need to find Xiao Ji!" Zhao Zhe suddenly said, startled awake.

"Is it urgent to see Dr. Ji Xiang?"

"Neymar's medical team sent us a video of his post-operative training session."

"!!!" Lin Jiuze focused his mind.

Neymar's surgery has only been going on for a little over 20 days, and he's already started trial training?

"They're being too cautious. They even did an MRI after the first trial period, which was completely unnecessary," Zhao Zhe said. "The patient's complaints are what matter. Don't you think so, Dr. Lin?"

After a period of contact, Zhao Zhe was able to subconsciously say "Dr. Lin" and had simple conversations with Lin Jiu.

Although Zhao Zhe still couldn't look Lin Jiuze in the eye.

"Let me check the MRI."

"On the computer, let's go to the office," Zhao Zhe said as he called Ji Xiang.

Lin Jiu felt a little excited, and even a little apprehensive.

He found it difficult to explain where these emotions came from.

Perhaps it's because I'm about to witness a miracle.

Upon arriving at the office, Zhao Zhe turned on his computer and first pulled up Neymar's MRI scan.

"No fluid accumulation? How long after the surgery, how can there be no fluid accumulation?" Lin Jiu was somewhat confused after seeing the X-ray.

Zhao Zhe was even more puzzled. He asked doubtfully, "Dr. Lin, I heard from Dr. Xiao Ji that top surgeons abroad are extremely skilled. Is that true?"

What does this have to do with anything? Lin Jiu was taken aback; he didn't understand Zhao Zhe's logic.

"Dr. Gil said that the neurosurgical institute in Dortmund performed a wedge resection on an intracranial tumor, and there was no brain edema after the surgery. In my limited understanding, brain tissue should be more fragile than the Achilles tendon and more prone to edema, right?"

"..." Lin Jiu was speechless after being lectured by Zhao Zhe, such a country bumpkin.

Normally, there will be some fluid buildup after Achilles tendon surgery. The time it takes for the fluid to be absorbed depends on the surgical trauma and the patient's physical condition.

Surprisingly, there was no fluid buildup after Ji Xiang's surgery!

The surgery appears to have been very minor, and the success rate was extremely high.

And Neymar's recovery... if nothing unexpected happens, it will be fantastic!

Lin Jiu felt a little uneasy, and he continued to look at the MRI.

The Achilles tendon is connected very well; you can't even tell where it was ruptured.

No! If you look closely, you can still see it, because the fracture site seems to be "thicker" than other places.

Just like a fracture, after the fractured bone ends heal, callus will form, and even if you suffer another injury in the future, the place where you were previously fractured will not be fractured again.

Lin Jiu silently watched Neymar's MRI. This star player had a very bumpy road. After Messi won the World Cup and became a legend, Neymar not only failed to make further progress at Paris Saint-Germain, but was also plagued by injuries.

As for the Achilles tendon...

I hope I can recover.

The MRI images were almost perfect, and Lin Jiu could hardly find any surgical traces. If judged by normal standards, the success of the surgery was beyond doubt.

"Oh? Neymar is recovering well," Ji Xiang said from behind.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, please have a seat." Lin Jiu stood up immediately, even faster than Zhao Zhe, like a sycophant.

"You're welcome, please have a seat." Ji Xiang glanced at the MRI scan, seemingly unconcerned. "There are training videos, right? Let me take a look."

Zhao Zhe turned off the MRI and opened the training video.

In the video, Neymar appears in a familiar pose, tentatively standing up.

Judging from his expression, he looked very worried.
