Surgery Godfather

The frenzy of public opinion grew stronger, as the arrogant United States investigation team arrived in China. Yang Ping paid no attention to them and looked down on them, never having experienced such a setback.

Upon returning to the United States, they clamored that if the surgery wasn't broadcast live, it meant there must be something wrong behind the scenes. Initially, Yang Ping didn't even want to do a surgery live broadcast, but later thought it was the perfect opportunity to teach them a lesson about being humble, rather than constantly boasting as if they were the best in the world.

At an internal meeting of the Institute, Song Zimo, one of the two secretaries of the Medical Science Academy, reported the recent global wave of public opinion.

"Professor, the whole medical community in Europe and America is criticizing you heavily; the public opinion is unfavorable to you. If there is even a slight flaw in our surgery, it could become a target for their attacks. Should we cancel the surgery live broadcast?" Song Zimo voiced his concerns.

Yang Ping didn't care about the public opinion at all. Whether it was Nandu Medical University or Sanbo Hospital, they now have a dedicated team dealing with this matter, so he had even less to worry about.

"Why cancel? Ignore these people; it's actually a chance to show them what a real surgery is." Yang Ping was very determined, without any hesitation. In fact, this was an excellent opportunity to showcase the advanced techniques of Chinese doctors. The stronger the opposing voices now, the more uproar there is, the better it will be for building the image of Chinese doctors.

China has developed for so many years, and in many fields of clinical medicine, it's already world-class. However, whether it's domestic people or those abroad, they don't have an objective understanding of China's clinical medical standards, mostly staying on judgments from decades ago, thinking that China's clinical medicine is backward and that Chinese doctors still use outdated surgical methods and instruments to operate on patients.

Because of the vast land and large population, the relative number of doctors is not as much as in developed countries. Thus, Chinese doctors have an average number of cases to treat that is the most in the world. Some hospitals' doctors have monthly surgery volumes far exceeding annual volumes for doctors in certain countries. Even more exaggerated is that for some specific high-difficulty surgeries, the weekly surgery volume of Chinese doctors can surpass the annual surgery volume of doctors in some countries.

In terms of clinical experience, Chinese doctors far surpass doctors in Europe and America.

Once, an obstetric and gynecological doctor went to a European country for advanced studies. This hospital received a case of a high-positioned maternal patient. The entire hospital had never seen such a case, so they were in a frantic situation. As a result, this Chinese doctor had participated in many rescues involving high-positioned maternal patients and was very experienced. She, an advanced study doctor, instead became the main leader of the rescue. Under her command, the patient was successfully rescued, and those doctors were very grateful to her. Subsequently, her advanced study transformed, and during her advanced study period, she often lectured those doctors, sharing her experience.

Of course, our clinical experience is more abundant than theirs, but they also have strengths – advanced medical concepts, standardized diagnosis and treatment, and well-organized management are all what we should learn from.

"We should focus without distractions, don't pay attention to the outside public opinions. We're busy working every day; where's the time to argue with these people? The more it's talked about, the darker it gets. Saying ten thousand words is not as good as broadcasting the surgery once to let them see firsthand how this surgery is done. Then, they'll naturally shut up, so we don't need to pay any attention to these people and just do our own things. As long as the patient and their family agree to the surgery, we go all out. Who are they? They're neither our patients nor their family members. Why waste time and energy on them?" Yang Ping wasn't angry about the public opinions at all but merely treated them as nothing.

The higher-ups also maintained this attitude, telling the doctors not to pay any attention to this and to focus on their serious work. It's not something they should be doing.

"I'm worried that if there are any flaws in the surgery, these flaws will get exploited by them, causing you negative impact later on." Song Zimo still wanted to cancel the surgery live broadcast because doctors are not obligated to broadcast live.

Yang Ping actually understood what Song Zimo was worried about. He said, "Don't worry; what flaws could there be? Besides, they can't even do such surgery, and even if we have flaws, as long as we can successfully complete it, it's a strong rebuttal to their current false opinions."

The Professor was always so confident. Song Zimo truly envied this strong confidence, even when facing skepticism from the entire world medical community; he was fearless and stuck to his views.

"Alright, but the live broadcast will go through approvals. At that time, it will be open to doctors, but not to ordinary people, as the scene of the surgery is very bloody." Song Zimo no longer insisted on canceling the live broadcast.

At this time, Zhang Lin got excited: "Professor, now someone should go ahead and confront them. I think now Little Five and I should step up, as representatives of the department, to fiercely counter them."

Thinking about countering so many people, Zhang Lin became extremely excited, like being injected with adrenaline. He loves countering people, can't help it, just enjoys it.

"Yeah, Professor, we can be the spokespersons. Rest assured, we won't embarrass the department." Little Five also strived for this opportunity.

Yang Ping shook his head: "Ignore it. I just said that I don't even have the interest to respond, let alone confront them. Let them talk; it's just a free expression of opinions. Now it's all bustling, and once the surgery is done, it'll all disperse."

"I agree with the Professor's viewpoint. Don't waste energy on this; rather, we should utilize this opportunity to showcase something to the world. For instance, our stem cell technology can surely be displayed to the world during this opportunity. It's not that we intentionally use the surgery to display this advanced technology, but it's them forcing us into a passive showcase, so they can't blame us now." Tang Shun thought this was the best opportunity to showcase.

Although his stem cell technology is currently very popular in the global wealthy circle, and they're rushing here for stem cell treatment, using their own stem cells as seeds to cultivate a large number of stem cells, this technology is unique in the world.

If this opportunity can be used for a comprehensive showcase, perhaps the donations the Stem Cell Laboratory receives can be multiplied several times. Tang Shun is wildly excited now; why not seize this golden opportunity sent to him? Aren't these people sending money? Now, what Tang Shun sees with his eyes is the rapid increase in account numbers, truly thankful to these people.

"So for this live broadcast, let's design it well, not only to showcase the strength of the surgery but also to promote our hospital globally. I estimate that after this surgery, the number of patients at the affiliated hospital of Nandu Medical University will multiply, especially Sanbo Hospital. And you guys still want to counter them; you should thank them well."

Tang Shun said.

"Are you thinking of—a planted—advertisement?" Xu Zhiliang asked.

Tang Shun seriously said, "How can you say it's an advertisement? This is a normal showcase. Doesn't the surgery use our stem cell technology to clone out muscle and skin? Isn't it? According to me, Old He's Digital Human should also be showcased this time. With such a display, it's estimated that those pharmaceutical factories and medical equipment factories will be scrambling to give money to Old He. If the big model's annual subscription fee isn't charged in tens of millions of US Dollars, it wouldn't appeciate the help of these friends."

Hearing Tang Shun say this, Song Zimo was dumbstruck, his perspective completely different from everyone else.

It's no wonder, Song Zimo is just a pure scholar, whereas Tang Shun is a multi-talented individual. He is not only a scholar but also a shrewd businessman. He wants the Laboratory to make money, make a lot of money, use this money as research funding, let the Laboratory roll like a snowball getting bigger, the more money invested the more new technologies produced, the more new technologies the more money, the technologies that can make money make a lot of money, and the money earned is invested into those fundamental research works without any commercial value.
