Healing Doctor

Chapter 677 Please Take Me Flying

Ji Xiang, caught up in the whirlwind, was unaware of Director Bai's concerns; he was busy with his work.

The advantage of appearing on variety shows is that it can boost one's fame. One show and a few outstanding performances made people remember this doctor from the Second Affiliated Hospital.

Therefore, there are many more patients than before, and Ji Xiang's purpose in participating in the variety show can be considered to have been achieved.

With Lin Jiuze's temporary addition, the entire medical team suddenly appeared well-equipped and well-supplied.

Lin Jiuze is an expert hired by Massachusetts General Hospital. Although his medical team has not yet been established, no one can deny his expertise.

Leaving aside diagnosis, just in terms of surgical skills, apart from Ji Xiang, everyone in the entire provincial capital who performs interventional surgeries is a level below Lin Jiuze.

A precipitous difference.

Even Ji Xiang felt that with Lin Jiuze present, his surgery was incredibly fast.

No wonder the system NPCs always tell me that surgery isn't done by one person alone.

With Lin Jiuze and Zhao Zhe in the picture, Ji Xiangqian's life went smoothly.

"Dr. Lin, thank you for your hard work." Ji Xiang scrubbed his hands and came up to the platform, while Lin Jiu had already inserted the arterial sheath and completed the catheterization.

Everything was comfortable.

The airtight lead door closed, and the head nurse in the interventional catheterization lab sighed as she watched the two people inside undergoing surgery.

"Xiao Ji is really like Jackie Chan. In all my years of working, I've never seen a young doctor receive this kind of treatment."

"At the very least, it has to be a professor in charge of the group. Some professors in charge of the group are not qualified at all. They find an intern or a junior clinician to show off, but in the end, the surgery does not go smoothly and they end up making a fool of themselves."

One person acted as a straight man, perfecting the head nurse's explanation.

Having a professor from Massachusetts General Hospital as an assistant is extremely rare at the Second Affiliated Hospital; Ji Xiang is the first.

Press the intercom.

Lin Jiu inside then started having the technician help him operate the system and switch screens.

Although it can be done in the operating room, it is faster if more people help.

The surgery was quick; the selected artery was accessed almost instantly, without the need for repeated selection, which would have wasted time.

The head nurse in the catheterization lab has seen it all... She's seen countless procedures, and although she can't perform surgery herself, she can see clearly who is more skilled.

"When Xiao Ji participated in the show, I thought of someone. Can you guess who it is?"

"The most powerful brain, Brother Shui," Tang Yan said.

"Yes! I always felt that Xiao Ji's vision was different from that of other doctors," the head nurse said. "He can find such thin blood vessels in one go, which is as amazing as Brother Shui finding a cup of water out of 520 cups of water."

"That must be fake."

Lin Jiu's slightly stiff voice came through the microphone.

He had only been back in China for a short time, and although he spoke fluent Mandarin, something always seemed off in casual conversations.

Moreover, Lin Jiu was basically invisible. When he spoke, he would startle people, making his speech seem even more strange.

"Uh...it should be true, he has special abilities." The head nurse, a fan of Brother Shui, immediately spoke up for him.

"After the program aired, a postdoctoral researcher in radiology in China conducted an experiment at the imaging center in North Carolina."

Lin Jiu immediately started talking about North Carolina.

This school wasn't originally that famous, but because it produced basketball legend Michael Jordan, it's a household name in China.

"He put 10 glasses of water on a table and took a picture, then took one of the glasses to another place, took a picture of it, put it back on the original table, shuffled the order, and took another picture."

"Finally, he converted the image to a digital format and compared the differences before and after."

The conclusion is that the similarity between the selected glass of water and the three photos is not statistically superior to the similarity between this glass of water and the first and second images of other water.

In particular, the similarity between the second and third images of the selected glass of water was lower than the similarity between the second images of the other four glasses of water and the second image of the selected glass of water.

"Uh... what do you mean? Keep it simple." The head nurse didn't understand Lin Jiuze's convoluted explanation.

"Simply put, the machine didn't recognize it." Lin Jiu realized that communication was impossible, so he simply gave the answer directly.

"That doesn't mean Brother Shui can't recognize it." The head nurse immediately found the loophole in Lin Jiu's words.

"North Carolina has very advanced imaging equipment. With high-resolution cameras and their specialized optics, the pixel count far exceeds that of the human retina by several orders of magnitude. It is practically impossible for humans to see a more detailed image."

Lin Jiu simply stated the facts.

The head nurse was momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond to Lin Jiuze's question.

Their conclusions came from top university labs, and although they may sound unpleasant, they are more plausible than my own guesses.

"Imaging," Ji Xiang interrupted their conversation.

The high-pressure injector delivers the contrast agent, and then the superselection process ends, initiating embolization.

The surgery was completed cleanly and efficiently.

Ji Xiang turned and stepped off the stage. The patient was wheeled out, and Zhao Zhe applied pressure to stop the bleeding in the corridor outside the operating room. Lin Jiu then brought the second patient onto the stage.

"Dr. Ji Xiang, are all chronic disease surgeries in China performed this quickly?"

While busy with his work, Lin Jiu asked with a touch of emotion.

"It's already very slow. The patient had to wait three days after being admitted to the hospital to have the surgery," Ji Xiang said. "Our hospital still doesn't have enough DSA machines. If we had two more, the relevant examinations could be completed on the second day after admission, and the surgery could be performed as soon as the results came out."

Lin Jiu paused for a moment, as if he remembered something.

"In previous years, there was data from the Japanese medical community that showed that cancer patients could go from surgery to surgery in less than two months, far exceeding the data from Europe and the United States during the same period."

"Oh, that's overseas, the situation is different." Ji Xiang didn't think he did anything particularly good, nor did he ever think he had worked hard.

Lin Jiu disinfected the patient and inserted the tubes quickly and efficiently.

The next surgery began immediately.

Surgeries come one after another, seemingly without end, but Ji Xiang enjoys it all.

After today's surgeries were finished, Ji Xiang suddenly asked, "Dr. Lin, do you not need a thesis for your procedure?"

Lin Jiu's heart stirred.

"Publishing papers at Massachusetts General Hospital should be very convenient. I won't include your name if you don't need it."

"No!" Lin Jiu blurted out his truest thought.

"Um?"

"Dr. Ji Xiang, I...I...I actually need it too." Lin Jiu was a little embarrassed, but he gradually understood Ji Xiang's personality, suppressed his negative emotions, and said directly.

"Hey, I noticed you haven't said anything, so I thought you had a lot of papers on your side and didn't need them."

"The number of papers is related to securing funding. Even Nobel laureates turn a blind eye to their students fabricating papers, and I'm just leading a group," Lin Jiu said frankly, sounding quite distressed.

"Moreover, we are hired every three years, and each time we have to check the number of papers published. If it's convenient for you, could you please take me with you?"
