Surgery Godfather

Charite Medical College, Germany.

"Professor Manstein, some international academic teams have already contacted us, hoping we will join their denunciation camp and speak out together to stop this surgery that seriously violates medical ethics."

The secretary cautiously reported the recent dynamics in the medical community.

"A bunch of crap, a bunch of nobodies, what right do they have to criticize a genius like Professor Yang? Professor Yang is a dazzling gem, while they are a pile of stinking crap. I don't want to stand in the same camp as a bunch of crap." Manstein slammed the table and cursed, his blood pressure rising furiously, the blood vessels in his temples pulsing violently.

"But they say if we don't participate in their denunciation, it indicates we have a problem, colluding with those completely lacking in medical ethics." The secretary said helplessly.

"They just hold the power of discourse; in fact, they are the filth. They can turn white into black. Actually, it's simple: Professor Yang's surgery affected their reputation, hurt their pride, challenged their status, and ultimately harmed their interests. They are not about justice, just using the banner of justice to make you submit."

Professor Manstein clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't understand why Professor Yang would attract such controversy—it was baffling.

"Then I'll reply to them..." the secretary said.

Manstein's tone was resolute: "Ignore them. Next time they call or email, just curse them back until they don't dare contact us anymore. Whether it's a call or email, just reply with one sentence—'you are stinking crap,' sign it with my name. I'm not easy to mess with. I've already contacted several Nobel laureates to co-author an article to refute this anti-intellectual public opinion. We can't join this group's nonsense, as it goes against the spirit of science. The spirit of science is to seek truth, not to engage in such absurdity."

"Professor August is here," someone came in to report.

August rushed in, carrying a leather bag, and said before he even sat down: "Professor Manstein, I assume you are also angry. My beard is standing up—what's wrong with these people? How can they accuse without understanding the facts? But Professor Yang is fine. I talked to him on the phone, and he doesn't even bother with these public opinions."

"How can a genius debate with these unintelligent animals? They're not on the same level; the two sides can't communicate." Manstein said.

"Indeed, this kind of surgery may be impossible for others, but for Professor Yang, it should not be a difficult task. He never fights unprepared battles and definitely wouldn't engage in acts that violate medical ethics for so-called fame. Any of his academic achievements could be top-tier; he doesn't need any reputation. Robert and I, from the United States, have already discussed—we can't remain passive. We must take action. They seem organized, so we must also organize into a camp to launch a strong public opinion counteroffensive. We can't let them hold the discourse power, letting them decide what's what." August said.

Manstein, after some contemplation, said: "I've been thinking about this issue. Although Professor Yang doesn't want to engage with these people, we can't ignore them. We must defend Professor Yang and break these odious public opinions. Anger aside, anger only raises my blood pressure and doesn't solve any problems, so I agree with your suggestion. We'll organize, form a camp, and fire back at this despicable public opinion."

"I'll handle the contact work here in Germany. You have high prestige worldwide, so please take on the task of liaising with renowned scholars globally. Robert is already taking action in the United States. As long as we can counter public opinion in Europe and America, other places will naturally quiet down." August said.

"Yes, I'm willing to take on this task. We should not only counter current public opinion but also prepare in advance for future ones. We must take the initiative. Professor Yang will livestream the surgery to the world by then. These people will certainly scrutinize for faults. No doctor can perform a surgery that's flawless. Once they find a flaw, they'll certainly amplify it in the media. We must be prepared for this." Manstein said worriedly.

"Robert suggested using the same means to counteract. Since they accuse Professor Yang of violating medical ethics, it's an unfounded slander with no accountability. Since everyone agrees with this approach, Robert said he will identify a few of the most active opinion leaders, find minor ethical faults in them, and then amplify them, letting them also taste the bitterness of being smeared—oh, this isn't smearing, just stating facts." August took out a newspaper from the document bag.

"Look, these articles are beginning to circulate in newspapers and online. A doctor named Hillman colluded with medical equipment companies to use experimental devices with uncertain risks on many patients, causing many patients to become paralyzed. This is a fact, and many victims have united, with a lawyer helping them to sue the doctor, the hospital, and the medical equipment companies." August pointed to the newspaper.

"Robert really is a clever person. If they like chaos, like slandering others, then let's all hurt each other."
