Chapter 597: Doubts from the Capital City (Thanks to the Elder Reward from areminssss)_2
"Afterward, the endocrinology specialists will provide specific treatment for Du Siyuan."
Du Siyuan couldn't help but ask, "Expert Lin, are you not responsible for my treatment and surgery?"
Lin Jie explained, "Your condition, although a tumor, is not complicated at all and doesn't require my intervention."
Du Siyuan understood Lin Jie's meaning.
His condition was too minor for Lin Jie to even bother with.
This gave Du Siyuan a slight sense of relief, yet also a faint feeling of disappointment.
However, he didn't forget to express his gratitude, "Expert Lin, if you hadn't sought me out last night, I might have worsened this simple condition into a serious illness. Thank you, truly thank you!"
Lin Jie accepted Du Siyuan's gratitude without any mental burden.
If Du Siyuan's condition went untreated, the calcium in his blood would spread throughout his body as it circulated, causing calcium to deposit everywhere.
If calcium deposits reached a certain level, it would have severe consequences, leading to multi-organ failure.
Du Siyuan continued, "Expert Lin, rest assured, I will report to the leadership soon, not only not holding Du Peng accountable, but also thanking him for allowing me to meet you..."
After seeing Du Siyuan and his family off, Lin Jie went to his office, first calling the hospital's endocrinology department to report Du Siyuan's condition and request they admit him.
Then he made a call to Kong Mingqing, mentioning Du Siyuan's statement and asking him to expedite actions to resolve the matter concerning Du Peng.
Afterwards, he also spoke with Su Xiaohui on the phone, informing her that significant progress had been made regarding the monkey issue, and asked her to wait patiently.
After completing these tasks, Lin Jie opened his computer and retrieved a WORD document from his email.
This was the text version of Lin Jie's lecture notes.
All of Lin Jie's lecture notes had been converted into text format by his dedicated students.
After deciding yesterday to publish the lecture notes as a book, Lin Jie had asked his students to send him a complete WORD document.
Having a complete text version saved Lin Jie a lot of effort.
The specifics of the book publication would be discussed in detail by Zhang Xiaoxiao on his behalf with Xiang Rong.
What Lin Jie needed to do was to further revise and proofread the lecture notes, such as converting the lecture format to a publication format, and adding additional content, images, diagrams, etc.
At the same time, he also had to ensure there were no factual errors in the manuscript.
This was quite a workload and would consume a substantial amount of time...
This work had been going on for less than an hour when it was interrupted by some uninvited guests.
Among the visitors, Lin Jie recognized two people.
The pediatric director of the Affiliated Hospital, Hong Damin, and another was Zhou Yisan from the Zhou Family, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner from Binhai.
There were three strangers, a middle-aged man with fair skin, and two elderly gentlemen in their sixties or seventies with an elegant demeanor and rosy complexions.
Old Master Zhou was the first to speak, "Expert Lin, hello! Let me introduce them to you first."
He pointed to the middle-aged man, saying, "This is Dr. Wei Zhifeng, a pediatric specialist from the Capital City Union Hospital. These two are my old friends, traditional Chinese medicine doctors Sun Hexu and Yu Hongji from the Capital City."
Knowing that these three had come specifically to confirm Ma Jinshou's condition, Lin Jie, who was aware, politely responded, "Dr. Wei, Mr. Sun, Mr. Yu, hello."
He invited them, "Please have a seat, everyone!"
However, Wei Zhifeng spoke, "There's no need to sit, time is precious. We ask Dr. Lin to persuade the Ma family's old lady to allow us to conduct an examination on her grandson."
Lin Jie looked puzzled at Old Master Zhou and Hong Damin.
Old Master Zhou gave an awkward smile and said, "Expert Lin, it's like this."
"Recently, we all participated in a consultation organized by the Ma Family."
He sighed, "We gained a lot of benefits, but unfortunately, our medical skills were not up to the mark. The child's health condition hasn't fundamentally improved, which has caused some dissatisfaction from the Ma family's old lady with us."
"Just now, when we visited the ward, we were directly driven out by the Ma family's old lady. She even said she only trusts you now."
Unexpectedly, the old lady from the Ma Family was such a forthright person.
Lin Jie tried hard to suppress a smile and asked, "What kind of examination would you like to conduct?"
Wei Zhifeng appraised Lin Jie, raised his brows, and said, "Dr. Lin, your renowned reputation has reached us in the Capital City. This time, your diagnosis of the child's condition within two days really shocked many famous doctors there."
Hearing his somewhat ambiguous tone, Lin Jie replied calmly, "It was just good luck, nothing significant."
Wei Zhifeng commented with a wistful expression, "Luck is also a form of capability."
"So many famous doctors in the Capital City diagnosed the child, yet none had Dr. Lin, your luck."
"To diagnose this child, I used various methods for nearly a month, ruling out over a hundred possibilities, yet failed to identify the condition you diagnosed."
"Your good fortune really makes us envious and convincingly impressed."
With a faint smile, he continued, "Today, I and these two gentlemen have come specifically to learn from this experience."
"We naturally hope to conduct a thorough and comprehensive examination of the child. This way, we can know to what extent the child's health has improved under your miraculous hands."
This statement made Lin Jie's face darken.
Hong Damin, Old Master Zhou, and the other two elderly gentlemen also looked displeased.
Being unceremoniously thrown out of the ward by the Ma family's old lady left everyone feeling a bit unhappy, yet Wei Zhifeng's sarcastic manner of speaking was quite lacking in grace.
Moreover, a thorough comprehensive examination isn't just lip service; it involves some invasive procedures and some checks carry radiation.
Repeatedly performing such examinations on an immune-compromised child could have negative effects.
Seeing that the visitors came with skepticism and a provocative stance, Lin Jie didn't hold back and stated bluntly, "Dr. Wei, as a pediatric specialist, you certainly know how to make the best choice for a young patient, don't you?"
Wei Zhifeng snorted and said, "I've served as the head of the pediatrics department in the Union Hospital for six years, this doesn't need teaching from others."
"But without conducting a concrete examination, how can we be sure that the child's health has truly improved?"
"How can we confirm that Dr. Lin, your diagnosis, is correct?"
Lin Jie responded coldly, "You can wait. Whether my diagnosis is effective or not, time will ultimately reveal the answer."
"Let time be the witness?"
Wei Zhifeng shook his head with a sardonic smile and said, "Dr. Lin, you must know, my diagnosis for the child was a multiple syndromes induced by psychological issues, right?"
"And we all understand that as time passes, psychological problems have a certain possibility of self-recovery. If someone further guides it, the possibility of self-recovery is even greater."
Lin Jie's face darkened again.
This bastard was insinuating that he had taken credit for his work.
"Let me intervene here!"
Seeing the situation getting tense, Old Master Zhou intervened, "How about letting my two old friends and me do the examination?"
He further explained, "We would use pulse diagnosis to conduct the examination, which won't have negative effects on the child."
"Of course, this would require Dr. Lin to explain in detail your treatment plan and medical rationale."
"I can't say with certainty, but I believe Mr. Sun, Mr. Yu, and I might glean some insights from the pulse readings!"
As he spoke, both Sun Hexu and Yu Hongji nodded slightly, agreeing with Old Master Zhou's suggestion.
Old Master Zhou looked at Lin Jie and Wei Zhifeng and asked, "I just wonder if the two of you trust me and my two old friends?"
Wei Zhifeng flattered, "The three of you are paragons in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, both in terms of medical skill and personal character, which I completely trust."
Recalling Old Master Zhou's accurate pulse diagnosis on himself and Lin Miao before, and the effective tonics from his family, Lin Jie positively responded, "Old Master Zhou, I trust you!"
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Yu, as old friends of Old Master Zhou, I naturally trust you as well."
