Chapter 162 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 162 ...
Everyone else was watching the patient intently. As time ticked by, an hour later, the patient's body began to tremble and he started breathing on his own. This was undoubtedly a great joy for everyone.
"We succeeded! We succeeded!"
At least the first step of the plan has been achieved, and the surgery has not yet failed.
I just don't know if this breathing can only last for a short time, or if it can be done permanently.
Because of this, a group of people will now pay close attention to this patient.
"He will need to remain in a coma for at least four weeks to allow the wounds to heal properly," a group of foreign doctors discussed among themselves.
We will be able to see whether the surgery was a success or a failure in four weeks.
However, Lin Wei had no intention of waiting for him to wake up. She had only taken a few days off, and no one knew that she had gone abroad. If too much time passed, people would eventually find out that she was not in the country.
She still didn't want anyone to know that she had been involved in the surgery. So she quickly said goodbye to the Mayo Clinic.
Upon hearing this, Hagai Cornelia said in English, "Lin, are you really not going to stay a little longer? I believe you will fall in love with this country, M." She still somewhat wanted to invite her to her side.
In the Flower Kingdom, that would be a waste of her talent; only here can she truly shine.
However, Lin Wei clearly gave the same answer: "Thank you, but I still prefer to stay in the country where I grew up."
She wasn't the first person to persuade her to go abroad, but she wouldn't be the exception.
Hagaconelia's eyes flashed with regret upon hearing this. "Then I hope we'll have the opportunity to collaborate again." The surgery was originally estimated to take over thirty hours, but thanks to her involvement, the time was significantly shortened. The Mayo Clinic welcomes her collaboration.
Lin Wei neither agreed nor refused, saying, "If fate allows, we will cooperate." However, she felt the chances were slim, unless it was a very famous and difficult surgery, otherwise she generally wouldn't come again.
These days, there are very few surgeries that are truly complex and interesting to her, and she doesn't think she has any surgeries that would interest her.
When Chi Boyan heard that she was leaving, although he knew this day would come, he didn't expect it to be so soon. He had a lot to say, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
She won't come to Country M, and he won't come to her either, since she lives in China for a long time, so what difference does it make whether he says anything or not?
Rather than letting her know and causing her to distance herself, this way of getting along is already pretty good, isn't it?
Before boarding the plane, Chi Boyan looked at her. Although they had parted several times in the past few years, he found that this time was the one he was most reluctant to part with.
Can I hug you?
Lin Wei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then realized that he had already pulled her into his arms, but only for a moment before letting go.
"I hope you can achieve your dream, and I hope I can achieve mine too." This was his only wish without any self-interest, Chi Boyan said as he looked at her.
Lin Wei smiled and said, "Yes, everyone will get what they want."
Meanwhile, at Mayo Medical School, Haggai Cornelia kept her promise, so she wasn't on the surgery list. However, if you looked at the entire surgical procedure, you would find that all the organs and tissues were operated on, except for the tiny nerves, which were never mentioned.
This also tells us that the list is not complete.
But as long as there is no evidence pointing to her, what can everyone do even if they are speculating? Besides, this list has not been released yet, and even if it is, it will be several years later.
By then, her relationship with Lin Wei was no longer significant. After returning, she explained the answer to Elder Wei.
"Are you really sure?" Even though Old Master Wei hoped she would take on this responsibility, he still hoped she could think it through carefully.
Lin Wei said earnestly, "I have thought it through very clearly." She wanted to reform the current state of the medical field, to make the medical skills of the country advance rapidly, and to make the Chinese people no longer yearn for the treatment abroad and voluntarily stay in the country.
Even though Lin Wei wanted to defend her country, she had to admit that doctors abroad were paid much better and were more respected than in China, and nurses were the same. In China, however, overtime was common, wages were average, and there was a lot of formalism and bureaucracy. Under such circumstances, who wouldn't want to leave? After all, none of us are gods who don't need to eat or drink.
Upon hearing this, Elder Wei gave a resounding laugh and said, "Alright, then you'd better work hard during this time and try to get your master's degree." Otherwise, she would have to serve as the acting dean for now and take over the position once she obtained her degree.
The thought of this gave Lin Wei a headache. Why is it that everything in Huaguo (China) revolves around academic qualifications? It's only because she participated in the Talent Strengthening Program that she could become the dean of a research institute; otherwise, she would need a doctorate, which is terrifying to even think about.
It's not that studying is scary, but rather that waiting several years is. With sufficient ability, wouldn't waiting several years be a waste of time?
But there's nothing we can do; it's a tradition in every country, even if the Flower Country (China) is a bit stricter about it.
However, the future is ultimately uncertain, and what is more noteworthy is the news released by the Mayo Clinic a few weeks later that the head transplant surgery was a success.
The news shocked the world. Some people criticized them for having no ethics or morals and for performing such a surgery, while others thought they were very capable of successfully performing such a surgery.
However, everyone is curious about one thing: whose consciousness does the person have after the head transplant actually have? Is it the owner of this body, or the owner of this head?
"But no matter who it is, it's a bit creepy." No one questions that.
Lin Wei wasn't there, so she naturally didn't know what was going on. Besides, she didn't recognize the two people, and even if she had been there, she wouldn't have been able to tell them apart. However, she still asked Chi Boyan.
Do you know the answer?
Chi Boyan said meaningfully, "The answer you have in your heart is the final answer."
Lin Wei paused for a moment, then understood. Wasn't the answer she was looking for always the same? Although she didn't know whose ideology would ultimately prevail, those who did knew which was more likely. So, while surprised, she quickly recovered and wasn't too surprised anymore.
However, apart from the doctors who participated in the surgery, Mayo did not disclose this information and even kept it confidential, which led to much speculation among the public.
Some people even wanted to guard the person who had the head transplant, wanting to see who he was now. However, it was clear that they couldn't get into the Mayo Clinic. Even though the person had been discharged, he was surrounded by many bodyguards, making it difficult for a group of people to get close.
But there was nothing unusual about the family members and patients.
So this matter remains an unsolved mystery.
However, some people mentioned Lin Wei, saying, "Given her profound expertise in neurosurgery, could she have also participated in that surgery?"
However, this was refuted: "How could that be? Dr. Lin never travels abroad." Only the flight crew knew that she had actually traveled to the United States during that period. However, whether it was out of a sense of responsibility for employees not disclosing customers' travel information or for some other reason, they did not reveal this matter.
But to say she wasn't excited would be a lie; she had actually participated in that level of surgery. Although there was no evidence to prove it, they were already convinced that she was among those involved.
This incident caused a great stir in the medical community. Lin Wei could hear the older, more experienced doctors cursing the foreigners as lunatics. It was even less likely that she would reveal her involvement in the surgery.
She couldn't say whether what happened was right or wrong, but at least one of those two people survived, didn't he?
Some families of brain-dead patients were filled with hope upon hearing the news, but the surgery ultimately could not be carried out because it required the collaboration of nearly a hundred doctors. If it weren't for the Mayo Clinic's immense influence, it would have been impossible to invite so many people. Furthermore, the head transplant surgery cost tens of millions of dollars.
Even if someone happens to be wealthy and brain dead, the Mayo Clinic has no intention of conducting further experiments, so it ultimately won't cause much of a stir.
This refers to the general public.
Although it's shocking, it's still too far removed from their lives. They don't have the resources to hire so many doctors to perform the surgeries. They'd be better off focusing on how to make money.
However, because of the mystery surrounding the surgery, a group of people still bring it up quite often.
And so, another storm came to an end. No matter how big the issue, after trending on social media for a few days, it returned to silence.
Compared to this, Lin Wei's consecutive publications of several papers have garnered more public attention. Whether it's Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, or epilepsy, these are all illnesses that are relatively common, and seeing that she has treatment methods for each one has generated considerable excitement.
"I posted these symptoms online before, and I didn't expect her to actually solve them. Dr. Lin is a miracle worker. It's just a pity that she has never held a clinic, otherwise we could all book an appointment with her." This is also what disappoints everyone.
"But don't be disappointed. When faced with a problem, doctors will call in help. The fact that they couldn't reach her means that her condition isn't too difficult."
One patient after another flooded into the A University Affiliated Hospital. In any case, ever since Lin Wei came here, the A University Affiliated Hospital has never lacked patients.
After finishing all that, Lin Wei resumed her usual life of making rounds in the department, acting as a second-line doctor when there were surgeries, and otherwise getting acquainted with the research institute environment by following Elder Wei.
And so, three years passed.
