Chapter 1183: Remote Surgery
The complete video of Yang Ping's surgery on the conjoined sisters has become a subject of study for surgeons worldwide, where doctors of various levels can learn from it and enhance their own knowledge.
For example, some of the world's top doctors can learn from its clinical thinking patterns, the specific operations in brainstem and spinal corrective surgery, while some young doctors can learn the basic skills of surgery.
In developed countries like the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, etc., many hospital doctors have spontaneously organized to study this surgery repeatedly.
After the surgery, the doctors at the New York Special Surgery Hospital asked Robert to establish an academic organization within the hospital, hoping Robert could become the chairman. The purpose of this academic organization is very simple: for Robert to share some Sanbo Hospital cases with them, thereby learning Professor Yang's surgical operation.
Germany's Manstein and August have already set up a project specifically to research Sanbo Hospital's system. They aim to thoroughly learn Sanbo Hospital's entire system and then reform their own hospital to establish a research and clinical-integrated hospital.
Doctors all over the world have begun to search Sanbo Hospital, hoping to find opportunities to further their studies there. In the field of medicine, there has been a surge in the enthusiasm for learning Chinese among doctors, as if doctors who do not learn Chinese would fall behind.
Robert's department now requires morning rounds in Chinese. This is to ensure everyone is proficient in Chinese, enabling them to independently read the "Medical" journal and acquire the most cutting-edge information in a timely manner.
The traditionally conservative British Milton has also started trying to learn Chinese; without it, he would lose a crucial source for learning cutting-edge medical knowledge.
Now, Chinese seems so essential in the medical field.
Initially, the conjoined sisters were to be monitored in the ICU for 24 hours, but for safety and reliability, Yang Ping had them stay in the ICU for 72 hours.
After three days, the conjoined sisters were transferred back from the ICU. Their vital signs were normal; everything from cognition, sensation, and motor skills to language was normal, which indicated there was no nerve damage from the surgery.
Morris was very excited. Not only had he realized his daughter's dream by coming to China, but he also had the opportunity to observe a unique surgery. He almost missed out on such a wonderful thing, and thinking back to his hesitation at that time, he felt a bit of fear.
If he had left China rashly at that time, perhaps everything would have been rewritten. Sometimes, a right decision can have such a big impact on life.
Now he ponders in his heart, wondering how he could become a student here like John Ansen, to learn the world's most advanced technology.
John Ansen was right; this place has the world's most top-notch medical skills.
The world is so vast, and this country with five thousand years of civilization is full of charm. It always creates miracles. For the first time, Morris felt the charm of this great nation.
He, assisted by the identity of a patient's family member, was free to move about in the ward, often entering doctor's offices, chatting with doctors, and building closer relationships with them. Sometimes he also helped with things like transporting patients, as John Ansen said, Chinese people like industrious people, so this can give a good impression to the doctors here in advance.
John Ansen's experience comes from the comprehensive teaching of Lobite and August; they were the earliest and longest international fellows.
Now, they are starting to enjoy the benefits of further study, each leading in their respective fields, far ahead of their original competitors.
"Dad, am I not dreaming? I am an individual now. Look, I'm lying on this bed, and my sister is on that bed, with such a distance between us — is this real? Are we separated?" Even though three days have passed since the surgery, the younger sister still needs to confirm this several times a day.
"Yes, Dad, please confirm that we are not dreaming. Can you help us with a favor?" The elder sister is also not at ease.
"Dear darlings, it's absolutely true. Now you are separated and are independent individuals. From now on, you can live freely without being affected by each other. In the future, you must get along well, and if disagreements arise, sit down and discuss them calmly."
"Oh, by the way, you just said you wanted me to do something for you. Even if it means picking the moon, I would bring a ladder to climb up for you now."
Morris was delighted.
"Dad, can you buy a top for us? We want to try spinning the top to confirm whether this is all a dream."
"Two, buy two. I need one as well."
After the surgery, the two sisters no longer quarrel incessantly like before.
Because the fix on their spine is very solid, Yang Ping allowed the sisters to sit up in the morning three days later and then slowly get out of bed to walk.
Suddenly walking independently felt unfamiliar to the sisters; they now seem unable to walk steadily, so the rehabilitation doctor taught them how to walk correctly.
Transitioning from their previous state to the current one involves an adaptation process. Take everything slowly.

Yang Ping was busy in the laboratory when Dean Xia hurriedly called, saying that Dean Liu and Professor Qin in Beijing urgently needed something. If Yang Ping was available now, Dean Xia would bring them over immediately.
Actually, Dean Liu and Professor Qin had arrived at Sanbo Hospital a few hours earlier, but since Yang Ping was still in the operating table, they held back their anxiety and waited for Yang Ping to finish the surgery.
