Masterful Miracle Doctor

The Lin siblings meandered through half of the snack street, but had to end their outing prematurely.

This was because Lin Miao overate.

Seeing Lin Miao's uncomfortable expression, Lin Jie felt both amused and sympathetic.

They had to cancel the rest of their shopping and movie plans, and returned home together.

An Kexin, who was working with a laptop on the couch, heard the door and hurriedly came over, curiously asking, "Why are you back so early?"

She then asked with concern, "Miaomiao, your complexion doesn't look good, did you catch a cold?"

Lin Miao felt a little embarrassed, covered her face, and said, "I unknowingly ate too much, now my stomach hurts. My brother has already bought me digestion tablets."

An Kexin found it amusing and tried to hold back her laughter as she looked at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie took off his thick down jacket, handed it to An Kexin, and said, "We were eating snacks one by one at the snack street in Cyan Cloud Temple."

"The atmosphere was lively, the snacks delicious, so we couldn't help but eat more than usual."

"I also ate a lot, maybe because my stomach is bigger, I didn't feel as uncomfortable as Miaomiao."

Lin Jie explained, then asked, "Kexin, why aren't you at home with Uncle An?"

An Kexin chuckled and replied, "In the afternoon, all those preserved meats and mountain mushrooms you asked Guan Muhua to deliver were ogled by Dad's old friends."

"By evening, Dad was dragged out to dinner by his friends, and Kemeng went to my uncle's house, so I came here for some peace and quiet."

Lin Jie responded with an "oh" and saw Lin Miao trying to lie down on the sofa. He quickly stopped her, saying, "Miaomiao, don't lie down, just walk slowly around the sofa."

"Once your stomach feels better, take a hot bath."

Lin Miao stood up again, glanced around, walked over to link arms with Lin Jie, and coquettishly said, "Then brother, walk with me. You're the one who said you ate a lot too, so you can use some exercise."

Lin Jie reluctantly agreed and accompanied her on the walk.

Lele wagged its tail, following behind them.

"Sister Kexin, brother and I had a great discovery during dinner today."

Lin Miao suddenly boasted, "Brother said he got inspired and thought of a way to improve the success rate of conjoined twin separation surgeries."

"Oh, really? Ah Jie, what method?" An Kexin, once again nestled on the couch, asked with great interest.

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, "I only thought of a possibility; whether it's feasible still needs further research."

"While eating tofu soup, I noticed the chef cutting tender tofu in water very thinly and finely, and it didn't break apart. This got me thinking if we could separate the conjoined craniums of twins in some sort of solution."

Lin Jie explained, "Theoretically, it's feasible."

"We could use the buoyancy of the liquid to separate brain tissue with less force, minimizing the risk of damage from excessive force."

Upon hearing this, An Kexin couldn't help but ask, "Ah Jie, aren't you afraid the brain will suffocate when you soak it in liquid?"

Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes and explained, "Kexin, the respiratory organs are the nose, not the brain."

"The oxygen needed by the brain comes from the blood."

He further explained, "Also, there is already fluid in the human head."

"It's called cerebrospinal fluid, a colorless, transparent liquid that fills the ventricles, subarachnoid space, and the central canal of the spinal cord. It plays a crucial role in maintaining intracranial pressure stability and dampening sudden shocks and vibrations."

Upon hearing this explanation, An Kexin realized she had asked a silly question and covered up, "I'm not a neurosurgeon, so it's normal for me not to know these things."

She changed the topic and asked, "Ah Jie, any progress on Lei Jun's research on the Life Healing Box's impact on arteriovenous thrombosis?"

"We provided a research fund of six hundred thousand, you know."

Lin Jie smiled and said, "I can share some good news with you."

"Dr. Lei's animal comparison tests show that this tank equipment can effectively inhibit the formation of arteriovenous thrombosis."

"It's the Life Healing Box!"

An Kexin corrected him, happily saying, "Ah Jie, the Tiande Medical Technology Research Institute has committed to further optimizing the Life Healing Box design, allowing it to modularly pair with a dozen or two monitoring and life support devices."

"They will deliver the finalized design proposal to us by mid-February."

She calculated and said, "In that case, the product could hit the market by mid-March."

"Ah Jie, then you'll have to really work hard to promote it."

Lin Jie nodded, "Definitely. By then, Dr. Lei's research should have enough data to draw conclusions."

"I will praise this tank in every opportunity…"

He quickly corrected himself, "the Life Healing Box."

Lin Miao walked with Lin Jie for twenty minutes, felt her stomach settle, and followed Lin Jie's advice to soak in a hot bath.

Meanwhile, as for Lin Jie and An Kexin.

Each held a laptop, occupying one end of the sofa, with one contemplating the specific implementation of underwater cranial separation surgery, and the other handling company and hospital affairs.

They didn't disturb each other and got along very harmoniously...

The next morning, Lin Jie arrived at the Affiliated Hospital and met with the fourteen students he had called in his office.

"You all have your own tasks now, so I'll be brief."

Lin Jie concisely shared his idea about the underwater separation of conjoined twins' crania and continued, "There are some problems that need to be overcome for its implementation."

"For example, maintaining the surgical field. Bleeding during surgery is inevitable, and once the water is stained, it will severely affect visibility."

"Also, keeping the infants' vital signs stable, the steadiness of the water flow, and so on."

"I'm sure there are also issues I've overlooked."

He instructed, "In the next couple of days, all of you should help me think about it."

"Is this idea of underwater surgery feasible, and what problems and difficulties need to be overcome, and how can we overcome them!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Jie waved his hand and said, "You can leave now. Fang Huanru and Song Licheng, stay behind."

After the others left, Lin Jie found a medical record on his desk and handed it to Fang Huanru, saying, "This is a patient with stomach cancer, and the surgery is scheduled for 3 PM."

"The two of you follow up, do a pre-operative check-up for him, and join me in the operating room in the afternoon..."

"Yes, teacher!"

The two agreed happily and left the office together.

Close to 11 AM, Lin Jie met with Kong Mingqing, who suddenly visited.

Taking two brand new passports from his hand, Lin Jie asked in surprise, "So fast! Didn't you say even in a rush, it needs five working days?"

Kong Mingqing flaunted, "With your current status, coupled with some of my connections, there should be some reflection, shouldn't there?"

"Are you planning to travel abroad with Miaomiao during the Spring Festival?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "No. The Affiliated Hospital is having a medical exchange in Germany in early March, and I might go. Considering Lin Miao doesn't have a passport either, I went ahead and arranged it together."

"Did you come here specifically to deliver the passports?"

Kong Mingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "You could say it was on the way."

"A colleague of mine, an old injury flared up, quite serious, and he's been hospitalized in the Affiliated Hospital. Some colleagues and I bought some things to visit him together."

"Lin Jie, this... this... could you..."

Lin Jie understood what he meant and directly asked, "What specific injury is it?"

Kong Mingqing's face lit up, pointing to his abdomen, saying, "Stab wounds, stabbed here three times by a thug, happened in September."

"The injuries never fully healed, dragging on."

"This time, the situation is a bit serious, so the family transferred him to the Affiliated Hospital."

Lin Jie stood up and said, "Let's go directly to the ward to take a look!"

"Being stabbed by a thug, you could say he's a hero. With the New Year approaching, letting a hero spend it in the hospital is not good."

Under the guidance of Kong Mingqing, Lin Jie arrived at a general surgical ward with two beds, seeing the patient lying in bed and a few colleagues of Kong Mingqing who came to visit.

"Hello, Expert Lin!"

"Expert Lin!"

These people greeted Lin Jie one after another.

Lin Jie nodded lightly in response, looking at the patient on the bed receiving an IV infusion.

This person, in his thirties or forties, had a sallow complexion, obviously worn out by illness.

In low spirits, he squeezed out a smile and said softly, "Expert Lin, I really didn't expect Captain Kong to invite you."

Lin Jie said directly, "Let me take a look at your medical record first!"

"Expert Lin, here you go!"

A man in his early thirties, who resembled the patient somewhat, quickly handed over the medical record with numerous examination reports and a few films.

Lin Jie carefully examined each examination report, then looked at the films against the light from the window.

He returned to the bedside and found that the primary physician on the bedside card was Yang Mingzhe, an unfamiliar name.

The Affiliated University Hospital employs over two thousand healthcare workers.

Each one of them knows Lin Jie, but the number of people Lin Jie knows is quite small.

Lin Jie paused for a moment and said, "Can someone go and get Dr. Yang Mingzhe?"

"I'll go call!"

The man who handed over the medical record spoke up and ran out.

Soon, he ran back with a clean-shaven man in glasses, around forty years old.

"Expert Lin, I'm Yang Mingzhe from General Surgery, is there something wrong with the patient's condition?"

Looking at the legendary figure before him, Yang Mingzhe felt both excited and worried, afraid his diagnosis might be wrong.

Lin Jie said softly, "Your diagnosis and treatment aren't fundamentally flawed."

"However, the patient's intestinal infection may be far more severe than you imagined."

"Dr. Yang, I suggest performing intestinal surgery on the patient immediately."

Yang Mingzhe was startled and then hesitantly said, "Expert Lin, the operating rooms are tight; it would take at least three days for scheduling."

Lin Jie was taken aback.

For him, securing an operating room was never an issue, usually just a matter of saying the word.

Seeing Lin Jie's expression, Yang Mingzhe understood something and further explained, "Expert Lin, of course, the hospital reserves operating rooms for urgent significant cases."

"However, I don't have the authority to access those particular operating rooms. Moreover, I can only use the general surgery's operating rooms."

"Whereas you, Expert Lin, have the privilege to allocate operating rooms throughout the entire hospital and can even requisition reserve operating rooms meant for special circumstances."

Lin Jie came to a realization and said, "In that case, arrange an operating room under my name, and I'll perform the surgery."

"Given the patient's current condition, it's not suitable to delay any further."
