Surgery Godfather-Chapter 367 - 0348 Brother

Chapter 367: Chapter 0348 Brother

Director Gao kept his word. He invited Yang Ping to guide a knee joint multi-ligament reconstruction surgery.

He personally went to the department to fetch Yang Ping, and along the way, he also called for Robert.

On the road, he instructed Robert not to say anything, to stay close to him, and to follow him to the operating room once the surgery began.

This was a surgery carried out by the Sports Medicine Center. Zhang Lin would not comment carelessly, and Yang Ping cared even less about meddling with petty affairs.

Once they arrived at the operating room, Old Gao, in his capacity as Department Director, urged the doctors under him to work quickly and not dawdle.

In the past, the associate chief doctors and head doctors from the Sports Medicine Department had some complaints about Old Gao. They thought that as Department Director, Old Gao was shamelessly building a relationship with a young doctor, which damaged the reputation of the Sports Medicine Department and made them feel embarrassed.

Now they had to shut their mouths. Among their idle talks, Old Gao had already performed the most challenging surgery in sports medicine – multi-ligament reconstruction of shoulder and knee joints – to an excellent standard. The surgical results were already nearing those of top-tier professors in Beijing and Shanghai.

It seemed like this was just the beginning. Considering the rapid progress of Old Gao, he seemed set to surpass these professors.

Director Gao arranged for Yang Ping and Robert to rest while he coordinated the surgery preparations.

“Director, I met a patient with severe multi-ligament rupture in the knee joint during my clinic session yesterday. He had consulted in Shanghai’s Huashan hospital before, and they said his surgical prognosis is poor. The patient came to me for a second opinion and I sent him away. This kind of ungrateful and tough surgery, even Huashan doesn’t dare to undertake, we better not do it,” reported Director Nong, the group leader of the Sports Medicine Center.

Director Gao, who was smiling just seconds ago, immediately frowned upon hearing this, “What are you doing? If Shanghai can’t do it, we can’t do it either? I’ve said it several times at the morning meeting, no matter how difficult the patient’s condition is, we must accommodate them. We absolutely cannot avoid patients. If there are any issues, I, Gao Yuan, will take responsibility. Didn’t you hear that?”

Old Gao displayed his dominance with his authoritative demeanor of a Department Director and his ambitious words.

Gao Yuan indeed had ambitions. He was challenging the top hospitals in Shanghai and Beijing.

He was extremely dissatisfied with the mentality of some of his subordinates who cowered upon facing Shanghai and Beijing. If they didn’t dare to undertake the surgery that others refused, then when could they ever stand out?

Old Gao’s skills are now no worse than those in Shanghai. Besides, with Yang Ping backing him up, what did he have to fear?

Moreover, patients with multi-ligament ruptures in the knee joint are much fewer compared to those with single ligament ruptures. To accumulate more experiences, they cannot be picky.

With Yang Ping there, Director Gao didn’t continue to demonstrate his authority as Department Director. Instead, he coldly said: “Such incidents should not happen again. Next time there will be penalties. I hope everyone is clear on that.”

Director Nong was a little fearstruck, “Understood, Director, I will pay attention next time.”

Execution, without execution, how can we proceed? The policies I line out simply aren’t executed. This laxity isn’t acceptable. Perhaps it’s time to make an example of someone, Old Gao thought.

Some unambitious group leaders needed to be replaced. Some proactive individuals who hadn’t had the chance to lead groups should be promoted. A team with a pioneering spirit needs to be formed. Especially a few old-timers needed to be challenged.

Since becoming the Department Director, Old Gao hadn’t taken any significant actions. It looked like now he had no choice but to take actions.

Once the surgery preparations were complete, Old Gao accompanied Yang Ping to scrub in, with Robert following behind them.

Everyone knew that this foreigner was a friend of Director Gao’s, so no one dared to ask too many questions. None of the others had been to the Special Orthopedic Hospital in New York, so they didn’t recognize Robert.

At the three-tiered Southern Hospitals, contact with foreign countries is frequent, and inviting a few foreigners to an Academic Conference to enhance its prestige is standard practice.

Everyone thought that Robert must be one of the European or American experts invited by Old Gao to elevate the prestige of the event as soon as he took office.

After Yang Ping put on his surgical gown and sat down to rest as instructed by Old Gao, he and Robert started preparing for the surgery together.

They first conducted an arthroscopic examination of the knee joint to further confirm the diagnosis before carrying out joint cleaning to prepare for surgery.

Then, they marked the starting and ending points of each ligament tunnel with a low-temperature plasma knife, so Yang Ping could amend them later. This is a core technique of the surgery.

Once everything was ready, Yang Ping finally took the stage. Old Gao immediately instructed the circulating nurse, “Raise the height of the operating table.”

Yang Ping was 1.83 meters tall, while Old Gao was only 1.7 meters. The height of the operating table had been adjusted according to Old Gao’s height earlier. Now that Yang Ping was the Chief Surgeon, the table had to be adjusted to his height.

Robert straightened his back, which eased his discomfort greatly. He had been hunched over to accommodate Old Gao, and it had felt awful.

“Foot stool!” the nurse brought a foot stool for Old Gao.

When Yang Ping took over the surgery, he instructed them point by point which marks were good and which ones were off.

He clearly explained why the good ones were good and how the off ones were off, gave reasons for the deviations, and why these deviations arose.

He not only made sure you knew what was happening, but also why it was happening.

Several doctors who precisely came to observe the surgery stood by the side. Apart from one who was making notes on an A4 paper, none of the others were taking notes.

It’s not hard to understand why, everyone knows that the college entrance examination can change their lives, yet many chose not to work hard.

“Doctor Yang, Doctor Robert doesn’t understand Chinese well.” Director Gao reminded.

Indeed, Robert was actually quite confused. He could understand phrases like “Hello, goodbye”, but the rest was like Greek to him.

Oh, Yang Ping admitted he neglected him.

Robert had traveled a long way to learn. Given the limited time, it was understandable that he hadn’t mastered Chinese yet.

Spreading my surgical technique rapidly to Europe and America by teaching him would achieve twice the results with half the effort.

It’s like an emperor going to war, just need to command several generals, and Robert and Takahashi are those generals. By teaching them, I’m teaching countless others.

Yang Ping explained it again in English to Doctor Robert who was immediately flattered.

Relationships warm up in amazing moments. Those you can talk about women with, those are the real comrades.

The heart-to-heart exchange in the resting room yesterday worked out. Yang Ping didn’t respond much yesterday, it was an Eastern-style reserve, he actually really agreed with my view on love.

Robert prided himself on never misjudging. Although he’s only been here for a few days, he can be sure that at least two women are currently entangled with Doctor Yang.

This Japanese woman doesn’t need explaining. How could it be without affection when her eyes deliberately or unintentionally linger on Doctor Yang?

Furthermore, this instrument nurse is even more clear. Their affections couldn’t escape Robert’s eyes, even if they tried to hide it.

Common hobbies are the best social bonds, start a conversation and a relationship of comradeship begins to establish.

If Doctor Yang goes to the United States in future, Robert decided he will certainly introduce him to some passionate American girls.

This one week of study only reveals the tip of the iceberg. Only by maintaining a good relationship with Yang Ping and continually learning from him, can he truly make progress.

The surgery for little Andrew… I’m afraid only Doctor Yang can be the chief surgeon.

I can perform the surgeries well in the future, but to reach his level, may not be realistic.

Furthermore, to perform this surgery well, it’s impossible without one or two years of time. I need to maintain a stable and close relationship with Yang Ping in future.

“Determining these starting and ending points isn’t isolated, they need to be understood from the perspective of the ligament complex. It’s definitely not about independently reconstructing each ligament.”

This is the essence, Robert remembered. No paper has ever dissected the principle so deeply.

By applying this principle, surgical effects can be multiplied, but that requires a large amount of surgical experience accumulation.

For any operation, in order to achieve the greatest surgical effects, an abundance of case accumulation is required. It progresses bit by bit, there aren’t any shortcuts.

“Doctor Yang, I have many similar patients in the U.S. Unfortunately, before your surgical method appeared, surgical results weren’t good. Can I ask Doctor Yang to operate in the U.S. in the future? Name your price.”

“There’s also a small request. Not long ago, I sent you information about a little boy from an orphanage, he’s one of my sponsorees. The boy is growing up very fast, if we don’t hurry up with the surgery, I’m afraid he’ll have severe after-effects. I want to ask you to operate on him there or we could bring him over here. Would that be okay?”

Robert knew that he must ask him to operate. Have him guide himself personally for a while, then can he truly master this surgery. Figuring it out himself, not only is it time-consuming, it will encounter bottlenecks as well.

This Gao Yuan, he studied in New York before. Now seeing him perform surgeries, he’s doing even better than any surgeon in New York. The reason is that he’s received Doctor Yang’s careful guidance.

At least for the next year, Doctor Yang will have to do the surgeries for professional athletes. I will follow him for a while.

As for the commission, following U.S. practice, all surgical fees will be his.

One week is too short, Robert’s trip to China is coming to an end soon.

He confirmed one thing, the surgical method in the papers is real. The original creator’s surgical results are even better than those in the papers.

He alone has completed this magical journey in China. Like a cowboy with a gun, riding a horse in the west, he found a treasure land unknown to the world.

Yang Ping was performing and explaining at the same time, occasionally passing the instruments to Old Gao and Robert in turn for experience.

Once the surgery was completed, Robert learnt a lot. He has finally fulfilled his wish.

When Robert was leaving the operating room with Yang Ping, he found Old Gao: “Gao, I’m a man of my word, let’s exchange email addresses to stay in touch.”

Old Gao cared about Robert’s conditions, but doesn’t consider them as indispensable.

Robert is the department director of sports medicine at the top-ranked orthopedic hospital in the world. Befriending him, future collaborations and exchanges become easier.

“When are you going back? Let me know a day in advance. I’ll take you out for a meal and drinks.”

“I’ll invite Doctor Yang along!” Old Gao said under his breath.

Robert was over the moon, his exaggerated expression was not unlike a character in an American comedy.
