Chapter 161 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 161 ...
Finally, next week, Lin Wei took a plane to the United States for the second time. The last time she came to the United States was a few years ago when she was competing.
At the airport, people from the Mayo Clinic were waiting for her.
"Lin, we've been waiting for you for so long, and we're so glad you've finally arrived." The people from the Mayo Clinic showed a hint of joy when they saw her. She had arranged for bodyguards to follow them closely.
Lin Wei shook hands with Cornelia: "It's a pleasure to meet you." She knew how to say the right things, so the two got along quite well on the way.
However, upon arriving at the Mayo Clinic, the group went straight to the patient's bedside. Although Lin Wei had already learned about the general situation online, they still went to investigate in person.
Haggai Cornelia: "Don't worry, apart from brain death, this patient is perfectly healthy." It was his family who couldn't accept the fact that he was gone, so they arranged this surgery.
Among the wealthy, they are considered a family with a strong sense of justice and compassion. Otherwise, their children would have embezzled the assets long ago instead of risking their lives to save others.
During this time, Lin Wei also saw many surgical experts from various countries. Several of them simply nodded to her as a greeting.
They only need to do their part well and don't need to get too familiar with other doctors.
Even so, a neuroscientist came to Lin Wei and asked her about her nervous system. The two of them talked for quite a while.
When the other doctors called him away, Yale Gordon still had a hint of lingering satisfaction in his eyes. "Lin, let's discuss this properly after the surgery."
Lin smiled and nodded. "Okay."
Chi Boyan watched them finish their conversation before stepping forward. "You've really won that old guy's admiration. I've never seen him so good-tempered."
Lin Wei's eyes flashed with surprise. "Really?" In her opinion, he was just like an ordinary person, nothing special. She didn't expect him to have a bad temper.
Chi Boyan chuckled but didn't say anything. It wasn't just that he had a bad temper; he also looked down on Chi Boyan's medical skills and ethics. He looked down on Chi Boyan, yet he still wanted to use the medicine Chi Boyan had developed.
Chi Boyan was in charge of the vascular aspect. Even if they looked down on it, they still had to admit that with medication, technical expertise wasn't necessary.
Only doctors who have witnessed his surgeries would look down on his surgical skills, which are not bad but not particularly outstanding, yet they are on par with their own.
Those patients had never seen him perform surgery, so they naturally had no idea how terrifying his procedures were. Lin Wei used to solve problems with brute force, but now, studying medicine, she's become even more meticulous. He, on the other hand, has gone from meticulous to brute force in solving problems—except this time, it's a surgical challenge.
Knowing she didn't like foreign food, Chi Boyan treated her to a meal that tasted just like it did back home. The truth is, while culture shock and unpalatable food can be overcome, her desire to contribute to the country was unwavering. He was referring to Lin Wei.
"If your three-year service period at the A University Affiliated Hospital is over, do you plan to stay there?" In Huaguo, the only hospitals that are somewhat respectable are the A University Affiliated Hospital and the Sichuan Provincial Hospital.
Lin Wei: "I don't know." Actually, the A University Affiliated Hospital is quite good, but she couldn't possibly stay there every day. A year or two would be fine, but a lifetime is too long. So she thought for a moment and said, "I might find a hospital with a bit more freedom."
Yes, she finally decided to take over the biological research institute.
Putting everything else aside, the equipment there is top-notch, which will help her with drug research. Moreover, since she's dedicated to contributing to the country and saving lives, why not take on another research institute? Ultimately, the goal is the same.
Thinking about it, Lin Wei asked, "And you? Are you doing well in the US? Have you ever regretted your choice?" She glanced at the bodyguards around him and initially thought he was being followed.
Chi Boyan: "It's alright. I never regret the decisions I make. Compared to China, life abroad is clearly more suitable for me."
There are still too many corrupt systems in China. He doesn't care about humanistic care; if he wants to treat someone, he'll treat them, otherwise he'll just leave it at that. His surgeries often cost millions, even hundreds of millions of yuan, and he looks down on the tens of thousands of yuan salaries in China.
Without money, how can he conduct research and development? Should he honestly pursue a master's and doctorate, and join a research institute? Forget it, why would he spend ten years on something that could be solved in two?
One thing is true: not everyone can forge their own path like the person in front of them. Having never experienced it, Chi Boyan doesn't know if he could do it.
After resting for a day, Lin Wei began surgery the very next day.
Everyone performed their duties and completed their tasks. The atmosphere was very serious and tense. Even though they had all performed many difficult surgeries, they were all on edge when faced with this unprecedented operation.
If this surgery fails, the Mayo Clinic will not perform another surgery for at least ten years.
Although Lin Wei wasn't entirely in favor of the surgery, she was already doing it and naturally did her best, so she focused intently on suturing the small nerves under the microscope.
She was in charge of the most difficult part, a decision reached after everyone discussed it. Although many people were not happy about it, who wouldn't want to be the most important person in this surgery? However, there was no other way. Lin Wei still became the main surgeon for brain nerve suturing based on her two previous papers on nerve suturing.
Beside her, another doctor was also performing the procedure. It was impossible for Lin Wei to complete all the nerve transplants, right? It wasn't that she couldn't do it, but the faster the brain transplant was done, the better. Taking too long would ultimately be bad for the recovery of the nerves and blood vessels.
"With the addition of CL medication, Tohtimari should be able to achieve 81% nerve repair," a group of people with thick eyebrows and big eyes, some with blond hair and fair skin, others with black hair and dark skin, said, watching the person undergoing surgery.
While this recovery rate is acceptable, it's far less impressive than Lin Wei's 100% recovery rate.
Looking at the woman wearing a mask and surgical gown not far away, they couldn't help but marvel at the genius that had emerged from the land of flowers.
Tauherty Marie performed two hours of meticulous suturing, but she couldn't take it anymore. Maintaining this high level of skill requires countless times more energy than ordinary nerve suturing, and she couldn't complete the entire procedure yet. So someone else quickly took over. Clapham Morey's recovery rate was slightly lower, at 79%.
At this moment, looking at the person who was performing surgery at the same time as her, and whose surgery was even more delicate and difficult than hers, Tauherti Marie realized once again how amazing this doctor from the Flower Kingdom was.
She is not as good as her.
The woman, over fifty years old, looked at Lin Wei with complicated emotions, thinking, "How can someone be so talented?" At the same time, she glanced at Chi Boyan, who, along with Lin Wei, was the two youngest people involved in the surgery.
Are all the people in the Flower Kingdom so talented and blessed these days?
Lin Wei didn't bring any assistants. In addition, this surgery was a confidential one, so her assistant was from the Mayo Clinic. She kept wiping sweat from her brow. Roughly estimated, this surgery would take her no less than ten hours.
The surgeons opposite her kept changing, but her position never changed.
Can I say? Lin Wei hadn't felt this kind of pressure in a long time. It was precisely because she knew that the failure rate of this surgery was very high that she remained tense.
Regardless of whether this surgery was successful or not, she will not participate in a second one.
At that moment, an assistant accidentally tripped over something on the ground and fell right next to the operating table. Luckily, he only fell there; if he had fallen on the patient, it would have been disastrous.
However, the situation wasn't much better, because the sudden sound startled everyone in the silence, including Lin Wei. She looked at her hand, which trembled slightly; she had inserted the needle in the wrong place. She took a deep breath.
It was terrifying! Luckily, nothing too serious happened.
On the other hand, however, Hillbott's surgery was not going well; somehow, he had injured his hand. Even so, he refused to give up, insisting, "I can still do it."
Lin Wei glanced at his bleeding and said, "You should go and treat your wound. This is no longer a question of whether you can continue. This surgery cannot afford any failure."
An injured person is definitely not in good condition. How can we entrust a patient to him for surgery under such circumstances? If the person who was just injured was Lin Wei, she would also withdraw from the surgery if she could not ensure that the patient's nerve recovery rate reached 80%.
The people at the Mayo Clinic thought the same thing, so they immediately asked him to leave and take him to have his wound treated. Soon after, another surgeon came in, and the assistant had also left at some point, replaced by a new assistant.
If something goes wrong in this situation, it will be difficult for the Mayo Clinic to keep her.
Fortunately, Hillbott's hand hadn't damaged any nerves, and he'd be fine after a few weeks of rest. After this incident, everyone was even more tense, fearing something like this might happen again.
But at the same time, I feel sorry for Hillbott. If the surgery hadn't been successful, that would have been fine, but if it had been, it would have been such a waste.
Who wouldn't want their name on the list? Oh, Lin Wei doesn't.
When Chi Boyan went on stage, he actually had a bit of a toothache. He hated this kind of slow work the most. Fortunately, he didn't ask for too much work. He only needed to suture a few tiny blood vessels.
More than the surgery itself, he wanted to witness its success.
So when the dozen or so hours were up, he looked at the final result and a rare hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
