Near nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, Lin Jie arrived at the examination room of Donghua Hospital, only to find that everyone was already gathered there, waiting just for him.
Among those present were Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, Yao Siyuan, and Song Licheng from the research team; the examination subject Wang Jinglan; Wang Jinglan's parents, Mr. Fu, Fu Hechang, Fu Xiuyuan, and Fu Wenzhu, along with Zhuang Shilei, who was wearing a half-mask.
Lin Jie imdiately expressed his apologies, "I'm sorry to have kept you all waiting!"
"No need to apologize, it's not even nine yet. We ca early," Mr. Fu chuckled, "We were too excited and couldn't wait to rush over!"
Chen Shi joked, "The most important person always shows up last! Lin Jie, shall we begin?"
Lin Jie approached Wang Jinglan, having her lie flat on the examination bed.
Then, Lin Jie wrapped a layer of fine sensor net around her upper left arm and took two slim probes, about ten centiters long, connected by wires from Song Licheng's hand.
"Wang Jinglan, I will insert this probe into the wound area of your upper left arm, and the tip of the probe will release a weak electric current to stimulate the nerve fibers there."
Lin Jie gently explained, "If the nerve fibers have recovered well, they will control the muscle fibers to contract, and this response will be detected by the sensor net"
Wang Jinglan looked at the slender probe, trying hard to look away, and said sowhat deceitfully, "Expert Lin, you can poke as you wish; I'm not afraid of pain, really not afraid."
Lin Jie nodded, "There's really nothing to be afraid of. To eliminate interference from your autonomic nerve reflex, you need to enter a state of anesthetic coma..."
"Yao Siyuan!"
Hearing the call, Yao Siyuan placed the anesthetic mask directly over Wang Jinglan's nose and mouth.
More than ten seconds later, Wang Jinglan entered a deep anesthetic coma.
Lin Jie gently inserted the two probes through the sensor net into the muscle of Wang Jinglan's upper left arm, then turned to look at the display screen of the monitoring instrunt.
On the blue screen, only a few gentle curves were displayed!
"Set the microcurrent to the fifth level and begin the first test!"
Chen Shi was startled and hurriedly asked, "Lin Jie, shouldn't we start from the weakest first level of current for the experint?"
Lin Jie shook his head and said, "It's only been a month; the recovery of nerve fibers is still too weak. If the current is too weak, it won't stimulate a response."
"Moreover, even a very weak current stimulates, causing damage to fragile nerve fibers."
"Rather than stimulating and testing repeatedly from weak to strong, it's better to directly choose a relatively strong microcurrent. Overall, this results in less damage."
Upon hearing this explanation, Chen Shi and Tao Taqing nodded deeply in agreent.
Song Licheng bumped up the current intensity to the fifth level and, with Lin Jie's approval, pressed the switch...
At the mont the switch was pressed, the few gentle curves on the monitor screen seed to be suddenly hit by a hurricane, surging into massive waves.
Seeing the screen full of fluctuating waveform curves, Chen Shi and Tao Taqing exchanged a look, unable to suppress their excitent.
Although Mr. Fu, Wang Jinglan's parents, and others were unsure of the aning, seeing the expressions on Chen Shi, Song Licheng, and others made it clear that it was a good result, and they couldn't help but beam with joy!
Once the curves on the screen settled and beca gentle again, Lin Jie removed the probes, changed positions, and inserted them again for a second test.
Lin Jie conducted ten such tests.
Each ti the current stimulated, the curves on the screen would beco turbulent, though the heights varied.
Lin Jie turned to Mr. Fu, Wang Jinglan's parents, and others, saying, "Because it is impossible to conduct nerve fiber reflex testing on every area, we use this sample testing thod!"
"All ten sample tests have delivered satisfactory results."
Lin Jie smiled slightly, happily saying, "I can now announce that the nerve damage in Wang Jinglan's upper left arm is essentially healed; what remains is a slow process of rest and recovery."
"Thank you, thank you!"
"That girl Jinglan, she had it really tough, she..." As Wang Jinglan's mother spoke, her eyes turned red, and she clung to her husband, crying softly.
Lin Jie signaled Yao Siyuan to wake up Wang Jinglan and approached Mr. Fu, Fu Hechang, and others, saying, "Thank you for the generous donation from Four Seas Bank, which is the largest charitable donation Anlin Charity Fund has received so far!"
Fu Hechang, however, wore an apologetic expression and said, "It's our duty that fell short; institutions like the Anlin Charity Fund, which genuinely engage in charity, deserve earlier and more support."
He further promised, "As long as Anlin Charity's good deeds do not stop, the support from Fu Family enterprises will not cease!"
"On behalf of the Anlin Charity Fund, I thank the Fu Family for their charitable spirit once again!"
Lin Jie suddenly thought of sothing and asked, "How has the adjustnt of dietary habits at ho been?"
When asked about this matter, Mr. Fu was clearly displeased, glaring at Fu Hechang, and said, "At first, the adjustnts were overdone, and both adults and children at ho couldn't quite bear it, with many ending up with upset stomachs."
"It's better now, but there are still occasional stomach issues..."
Fu Hechang appeared crestfallen, muttering, "Can you bla ? Eating habits ford over years, even decades, naturally face so challenges when suddenly changed."
"Are you implying that you bla , the instigator?" Mr. Fu glared at Fu Hechang.
In a hurry, Fu Hechang smiled and said, "I wouldn't dare bla you. It was my oversight, lacking experience and not managing the transition properly."
Mr. Fu snorted and looked kindly at Lin Jie, saying, "I heard you've been seeing the eldest daughter of the An Family."
"I've t the girl; she's a wonderful child. Blessings to you both!"
Lin Jie sincerely replied, "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your blessings!"
Fu Xiuyuan laughed and said, "An Kexin is a rare gem in Binhai City, a woman embodying both beauty and wisdom."
"Lin Jie, you're really enviable. When are you holding the engagent ceremony? If you're inviting friends to attend, rember to send an invitation."
Lin Jie scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "There's no elder at ho to guide us. For many ceremonial processes, I'm just thinking of simplifying them as much as possible."
"I just thought of buying a good diamond ring for An Kexin, and that's it for the engagent."
Thinking of Lin Jie's background, Master Fu let out an almost imperceptible sigh, looking at Lin Jie with eyes full of pity.
At this ti, Lin Jie felt soone poking his back!
He turned around and saw the awakened Wang Jinglan standing right behind him.
Wang Jinglan, with a trembling voice, asked, "Expert Lin, have I really... recovered?"
Lin Jie nodded, "You have recovered..."
Before he could finish his words, Wang Jinglan pounced on him and hugged him.
The hug was so strong that he felt his chest was a bit painful from the squeeze.
Fortunately, Wang Jinglan only hugged him for a mont and then released him.
"My body has really recovered!"
Wang Jinglan couldn't help but shout, "Mom, dad, granduncle, uncle, cousin, did you hear? Expert Lin said my body... has recovered."
Wang Jinglan and Master Fu, Fu Hechang, and others hugged each other in succession, sotis embracing and jumping around together, causing quite a scene.
Lin Jie expanded his chest and walked over to Zhuang Shilei, asking, "How are you feeling recently?"
"Excited and scared!"
Zhuang Shilei said softly, "In ten days, I'll undergo the third surgery, and I'll have to endure another bout of painful experience. That makes afraid."
"What's exciting is that after this surgery, my face will be almost fully restored."
Looking at the excited Wang Jinglan surrounded by family, she said, "You've achieved another success, which increases my confidence in you."
"Dr. Lin, I'm looking forward to the extra plastic surgery you promised to give ."
"You'll need to wait slowly. That plastic surgery will have to wait another five or six months until you fully recover!"
Lin Jie pointed to the mask on her face and said, "Take off the mask, let check!"
Zhuang Shilei obediently took off the mask.
At first glance, her left face still looked sowhat frightening, mainly due to the scars crisscrossing her left facial skin.
However, if you ignore these scars, you'll notice that her skin is no longer uneven and bumpy but has a smooth curve. Compared to her perfect right face, it just appears a little thinner.
Lin Jie gently touched her left face, feeling it for a while, then put his hand down and said, "Since you've decided to undergo plastic surgery, I won't replace this scar-covered skin in your third surgery."
"Hmm, I can wait."
Zhuang Shilei put the mask back on and touched it, saying, "Dr. Lin, I now dream about restoring my appearance, and when I wake up, my pillowcase is no longer wet."
"Because I know my dream is no longer an illusion, it will eventually co true."
"Lin Jie, thank you! Thank you for making my dream co true!"
Lin Jie waved his hand and said, "Save those words for later! However, I need to remind you that there are always differences between dreams and reality."
"I can't create perfection, only make it close to perfect!"
Zhuang Shilei gently shook her head and said, "I understand the gap between ideal and reality, and I also understand that people's expectations will keep rising step by step, but not everyone is like that."
"Dr. Lin, you'll find out how low my definition of perfection is..."
"The recovery of the nervous system is the slowest, taking at least six months. It may take that long for the nerve damage in your left arm to fully recover. During this ti..."
Lin Jie instructed Wang Jinglan on what to be cautious about while walking out of the examination room with everyone.
"Wang Jinglan!"
Following the voice, Wang Jinglan looked over and saw her coach Zhou Qing, along with five or six others, including Expert Qiao, who had treated her before, approaching.
She waved her arms excitedly and ran over, shouting, "Coach, Expert Qiao, my arm has recovered. I can attend the Olympics."
Expert Qiao snorted and said, "Whether it's recovered or not, is not up to you to decide!"
He glanced at the people in white coats behind Wang Jinglan, including Chen Shi and Tao Taqing, and said, "It's not up to them to decide either."
He said with a tone of sarcasm, "Nowadays, many people are willing to use any ans to seek fa and fortune and cheat funding."
These words made Lin Jie, Chen Shi, Tao Taqing, and others show anger in their eyes, and even Master Fu and others looked displeased.
Expert Qiao acted as if he hadn't seen any of this and ordered, "Liu Ye, let's conduct a real test on Wang Jinglan on site!"
"Yes!"
Imdiately, a few younger doctors behind Expert Qiao opened the suitcase they carried, took out several pieces of equipnt, and assembled them on the spot.
Looking at these high-powered testing devices, Lin Jie's face imdiately darkened and he said, "Who do you think you are to conduct destructive testing on my patient?"
