An honorary doctorate is awarded to individuals who have high prestige in a certain industry and have made significant contributions to society; it is a form of recognition for personal achievents.
At the sa ti, the university also uses this thod to establish a relationship with soone and enhance the university's social prestige.
Yuan Guangxi briefly explained, then sighed: "Expert Lin, your knowledge, dical skills, and industry reputation need not be ntioned. As for societal contribution, the topic you are currently researching, once successful, will pretty much suffice."
"However, Expert Lin, you are destined to have no chance of obtaining an honorary doctorate from Binhai University."
"Why is that?" Lin Jie was full of doubts.
He often saw on television and other news programs that certain individuals were granted honorary or honorary doctorate degrees by universities, finding it quite interesting.
The regular doctorate might be out of reach, but perhaps this honorary doctorate is worth dreaming about!
Yuan Guangxi laughed heartily and said, "According to national regulations, this honorary doctorate degree is only awarded to well-known foreign individuals, so you are not eligible."
It turns out there was such a restriction, and Lin Jie felt his face flush imdiately and quickly left the dean's office...
In the following week and more, Lin Jie, with unprecedented efficiency, completed cranial arteriovenous replacent surgeries on five experintal monkeys one after another.
Moreover, each surgery was a success.
As of now, it's been eleven days since the surgery on Experint Monkey No. 1, which has long since returned to its jumping-around lifestyle.
Guo Peng reported that no obvious changes in the living habits of Experint Monkey No. 1 have been observed, nor have any abnormal variations been detected in its physiological paraters.
In short, the project's progress is all smooth sailing.
Lin Jie instructed Guo Peng and the others to continue close observation.
So changes may be slow, subtle, and require a longer period to erge.
Due to Lin Jie's constant maintenance of a competitive and cooperative relationship among the students, their performance has been consistently impressive, much to Lin Jie's satisfaction.
At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, Lin Jie, along with two students, Fang Huanru and Huo Guangheng, t in the office of the Affiliated Hospital with a friend brought personally by Zhu Junying.
This person limped into the office.
Lin Jie also noticed a long stitched scar running from his left cheek to his left ear, and the lower half of his left ear was missing.
He also sensed that this person's ntal state seed sowhat dejected and dispirited.
At Lin Jie's indication, the visitor sat on the diagnostic chair and introduced himself, "Expert Lin, hello! I'm Shu Jiaxiang, 27 years old. Here are my previous dical records and so examination materials."
Lin Jie took a thick stack of materials and placed it on the office desk, saying softly, "Let first take a look at your right leg."
Shu Jiaxiang removed the shoe and sock from his right foot and rolled up his right pant leg above the knee.
The skin on his calf was crisscrossed with more than a dozen long scars, looking sowhat shocking.
The connection site of the amputated leg, ten centiters below the knee, had a slightly protruding ring-shaped scar tissue!
The calf muscles beneath the skin were uneven, clearly indicating that a lot of muscle was lost in the accident.
Lin Jie put on dical rubber gloves, carefully felt and kneaded his leg and foot, and said, "Describe your current symptoms."
"I can freely control my little toe and the one next to it, but I can't curl the other three toes, nor do I have any sensation."
Shu Jiaxiang described carefully, "There are two areas where the pain is quite severe: one is here on the calf, the other is on the dorsum of the foot. Apart from the pain sensation, the whole calf always feels numb and tingling, slightly less than the sensation of a leg falling asleep,"
"Additionally, in so places, when I stick in a needle, there's no sensation..."
As he spoke, he pointed out the specific areas with his hand.
After finishing his description, Shu Jiaxiang said softly, "I've already given up hope on this leg, thinking this is how it would be for the rest of my life. But Xiao Zhu's introduction of you has given so hope again."
"In the past few days, Xiao Zhu has given a lot of materials about you and specially called Wang Jinglan over to enlighten , recounting your miracles."
"Expert Lin, please tell honestly, can the condition of my leg still improve?"
Lin Jie imdiately replied, "I am not yet able to give you a definite answer. I need to first conduct a detailed examination. Only after reviewing the results can I determine."
"However, from your description, the nerve damage in your right calf is quite severe."
He examined Shu Jiaxiang's injured leg, contemplated for a mont, and said, "If treated surgically, it's estimated that the issue won't be resolved in just one or two surgeries, plus nerve recovery is inherently slow..."
"Noticeable treatnt results for your right calf will take at least four to five months."
"Expert Lin is the most amazing doctor I have ever t in the world."
Standing quietly by, Zhu Junying spoke up, "Jiaxiang, your calf symptoms will definitely improve. You must believe in , and more importantly, believe in Expert Lin."
Shu Jiaxiang glanced at Zhu Junying and laughed heartily, "Since I've promised you, I ca here from the Capital City, naturally, I won't give up midway."
"Expert Lin, I have plenty of ti now."
"You can examine however you like, treat however you wish, I have no objections."
Lin Jie clearly heard that Shu Jiaxiang had little confidence in himself, estimating that he ca this ti only due to a friend's strong persuasion, finding it hard to refuse.
He didn't say much, instructing, "Fang Huanru, Huo Guangheng, you are responsible for Shu Jiaxiang's examination."
Lin Jie instructed, "After the routine checkup, you need to conduct a detailed nerve injury examination on his right calf. I need you to find out the extent of nerve damage to each muscle."
"Yes, Teacher."
Fang Huanru and Huo Guangheng responded in unison, then led Shu Jiaxiang and Zhu Junying out of the office.
Lin Jie, who remained in the office, began reading through Shu Jiaxiang's dical records and examination docunts.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Jie suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Co in!"
Lin Jie called out, and subsequently saw a young charming woman accompanying a dignified middle-aged woman walk in.
Having no impression of the two, Lin Jie assud they were patients visiting the hospital and said, "This office does not accept walk-in patients without an appointnt, you've co to the wrong place."
"Expert Lin, I'm the mother of Shu Jiaxiang, whom you just saw."
The middle-aged woman walked close to Lin Jie, sizing him up, and said, "I ca especially to find you."
"Oh, ca especially to find ?"
Lin Jie stood up and asked, "Is there sothing you need?"
Shu's mother lightly nodded, saying, "I know you are a specially-appointed expert at Binhai University Affiliated Hospital with remarkable dical skills."
"Whether or not you are confident in improving Jiaxiang's leg condition, I, as a mother, request you to suspend his treatnt."
Lin Jie furrowed his brow and asked, puzzled, "What do you an?"
Shu's mother softly explained, "What I an is, once Jiaxiang's examination results co out, you should make an excuse that his injury is too complex for you to handle, and conclude his treatnt."
At this ti, the young woman standing by took out a check and placed it on Lin Jie's desk.
Shu's mother continued, "I understand that saying this might negatively impact your dical reputation. This check for one hundred thousand dollars is just a token of our appreciation, to make up for it a little."
Glancing at the check, Lin Jie snorted and disdainfully said, "Whether you are really Shu Jiaxiang's mother or not…"
"As an adult with independent thinking, who can clearly express his wishes, whatever Shu Jiaxiang has to say, he can directly communicate to ."
"If you don't want him to receive treatnt, you could directly tell him instead of telling ."
Lin Jie pointed to the office door and said, "The door is there, feel free to leave."
The young woman at the side got a little angry, raised her eyebrows, and shouted, "How can you, as a doctor, do this? Auntie, she…"
"Shanshan, do not be rude to Expert Lin."
Shu's mother stopped the young woman, sighed, and said, "Expert Lin, I am also doing this out of desperation."
"Jiaxiang has always been fond of thrilling activities, especially having a deep love for car racing. He often visits racetracks and remote places to race with others."
"As a mother, I live in constant fear, afraid of hearing bad news one day."
"The last accident nearly scared to death."
Shu's mother clutched her chest and said, "Thankfully, Jiaxiang was only severely injured but not in any life danger. Once he recovered a bit, he stayed ho to recuperate quietly, but his right leg has always had so issues."
"The condition of his right leg prevents Jiaxiang from maneuvering those highly sensitive race cars anymore..."
She showed a faint smile and awkwardly said, "Expert Lin, don't laugh at , but these past two years have been the best nights of rest I've had."
"Even if Jiaxiang stays out all night, I no longer worry because I know for certain that he won't go car racing anymore and won't be in life-threatening danger."
"Therefore, now I am extrely afraid that his leg might suddenly recover one day."
"I know that once Jiaxiang fully recovers, he will definitely return to racing, and I cannot persuade him otherwise."
Shu's mother took out a tissue and wiped her slightly red eyes, pleading, "Expert Lin, I beg you to understand a mother's selfishness. I don't want to live that kind of life of worrying all night."
"Please give up on treating Jiaxiang."
While feeling deeply sorry inwardly, Lin Jie remained stern-faced and said, "Indeed, you are a very selfish person, unwilling to communicate and persuade your son deeply, yet throwing this choice at ."
He said in a serious tone, "I will not agree to this request of yours."
"You should still directly discuss this with your son."
"He... is right behind you."
"What?"
Shu's mother was shocked, hurriedly turning around, only to see the door slightly ajar, with Shu Jiaxiang standing outside with a complicated expression.
