The examination results of little Lucy brought a pleasant surprise to Lin Jie.
Before the surgery, only by using a strong light stimulus could instrunts detect her sensitivity to light.
But now, in a bright examination room, they could detect her reaction to light.
This level of recovery exceeded Lin Jie's best expectations.
Lin Jie thought for a mont and felt that this might be due to the acupuncture stimuli and herbal nourishnt treatnts from the Zhou Family.
When there's a chance in the future, he must collaborate with the Zhou Family to conduct integrated traditional Chinese and Western dicine research.
With this idea in mind, Lin Jie said, "Mr. and Mrs. Freddy, Lucy's vision is indeed recovering, and the recovery is sowhat better than I expected."
After hearing this, Freddy and his wife instinctively made the sign of the cross, clasped their hands, and shouted excitedly, "Thank God!"
Witnessing this, Lin Jie couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He muttered internally, was I blind?
I was the one who operated on your daughter, not that so-called God.
After thanking God, Freddy and his wife hugged each other excitedly.
He even kissed his wife's eyes.
After letting go of his wife, Freddy hugged Lin Jie without hesitation and exclaid warmly, "Dr. Lin, you are a ssenger of God, you brought us good news and brought light to Lucy."
"Thank you, thank you! You are the most honored guest of our Freddy family."
The embrace made Lin Jie a bit uncomfortable.
However, this hug indeed improved his impression of Freddy significantly.
At this mont, Freddy's wife asked concernedly, "Dr. Lin, I've heard that for a blind person who has never experienced vision, regaining sight can cause significant psychological and physical adaptation issues."
"In Lucy's case, what preparations do we need to make in advance?"
Lin Jie softly explained, "Lucy's vision recovery is a gradual and slow process."
"It starts with enhancing light perception, distinguishing light and dark, having a blurry vision, and then transitioning to a clear view. This process is rather slow, taking at least six months."
"During this ti, it will be enough for Lucy to gradually adapt and unconsciously complete her vision recovery."
"This gradual vision recovery won't cause psychological issues for Lucy..."
Seeing the passionate faces of Freddy and his wife, Lin Jie couldn't help but throw a bit of cold water.
He reminded, "Although Lucy's recovery exceeds my expectations, you should still be psychologically prepared."
"Compared to ordinary people, there's a big possibility that Lucy's final vision will still have deficiencies, perhaps including amblyopia, color weakness, and issues with color and image processing."
Freddy nodded earnestly, "We are aware of this and do have that ntal expectation."
"As long as Lucy can finally see my wife and , and can go out without a guide cane, we will be satisfied."
"Doctor, what about the next phase of Lucy's surgery?"
Lin Jie thought for a mont.
Just today, Anders' surgery was completed. This week and next, one player each will be sent over, and the Arican rugby player should co in two or three weeks.
"In about half a month..."
Lin Jie reconfird, "We'll tentatively schedule it for half a month later."
"By then, I'll determine the specific surgery ti based on Lucy's physical condition."
"Like last ti, the surgery will be conducted two to three tis in quick succession, posing a significant burden on Lucy both physically and psychologically."
Lin Jie advised, "During this period, enhance Lucy's nutrition, have her exercise more, and also pay attention to her psychological state."
"Last ti's surgery probably caused quite a bit of fear in Lucy, so you need to help her overco it."
Lucy's current state truly testified to Lin Jie's dical skills.
Freddy and his wife genuinely treated Lin Jie as a ssenger of God Jesus, taking his words as gospel.
They firmly rembered Lin Jie's instructions, promising to take good care of little Lucy.
When they were about to part, Lin Jie considered for a mont and decided to speak honestly, "The rapid recovery of little Lucy is not just my achievent."
"I believe the previous acupuncture and herbal treatnts also played a significant role."
"I suggest you take Lucy to see Mr. Zhou again to feel her pulse."
"Hmm, the supplents from the Zhou Family are quite good, and might help strengthen Lucy's physique..."
Having sent off Freddy and his wife, it was almost six in the evening.
A weary Lin Jie also went to check on Lin Xiaoxiao's postoperative recovery.
Lin Xiaoxiao was already able to get out of bed, walking and running like an average little girl.
Lin Jie reviewed her daily detailed physical data and found a particularly noticeable change.
By the fifth day after surgery, Lin Xiaoxiao's height had increased by nearly 0.6 centiters.
This was because the shackles of the brain were lifted, and her body's developnt was compensating explosively.
After carefully asking Lin Xiaoxiao's parents a few questions and learning that Xiaoxiao had not experienced any significant changes in personality, habits, or diet, Lin Jie left the patient room.
Passing by the nurse's station, Lin Jie suddenly noticed He Yimin entering dical records on the computer.
"He Yimin!" Lin Jie called out to her.
"Teacher!"
Seeing Lin Jie, He Yimin ran to him happily, pouting, and said forlornly, "Following the supervising teacher for clinical internship, I perford the worst and got sent here to enter dical records."
Lin Jie chuckled, "With your practical skills, if you're not the worst, who would be?"
Actually, He Yimin has so practical skills, just barely passing level.
But this kind of level, in the elite-gathered Affiliated Hospital, is simply not enough.
"Teacher, if you keep saying that, I'll cry for you to see!"
As soon as she said this, He Yimin felt embarrassed, and her face turned red all of a sudden.
My God, I actually acted spoiled towards Lin Jie, so naturally, as if facing my own elder.
Although Lin Jie is her teacher, he is a few years younger than her.
Lin Jie didn't notice He Yimin's tone or her suddenly blushing face, and reminded her: "Although your talent is not in clinical practice, you still need skills above passing level."
"Don't look down on or even give up on training in this area."
He reminded: "He Yimin, even if you focus on dical research in the future, you'll find that the data you obtain from doing animal or human experints yourself is much richer and more accurate than the second-hand data from an assistant."
He Yimin nodded vigorously, saying: "Teacher, don't worry, I won't give up."
"Actually, when I first applied to dical College, I thought about being able to save lives on the operating table like you in the future."
"Now I really envy other classmates who can assist you in surgery and have started to wield the scalpel themselves."
Lin Jie laughed and said, "What's there to envy about performing surgeries? It's exhausting to death."
"In the future, when you make diagnoses and conduct dical research, and achieve results, you'll benefit hundreds, thousands, and even tens of thousands, unlike a surgeon who can only save one person at a ti."
"Work hard, I'm counting on you to defeat Dr. Xia Kaige's daughter in ten years!"
He Yimin pursed her lips and earnestly said: "Thank you for the encouragent, teacher. I will work hard and not disappoint you…"
Lin Jie hadn't left the Affiliated Hospital for long when he suddenly received a call from Fang Lianggong.
Though Fang Lianggong is a friend of Chen Shi and the father of Fang Huanru, he doesn't have much contact with Lin Jie, and this was the first call he made.
Was he inquiring about the cooperation with Cheng Zhe?
As Lin Jie speculated about the purpose of the call, he answered and politely said, "Hello, Dean Fang!"
"Hello, Dr. Lin!"
Fang Lianggong's booming voice ca through the phone, "Have you had dinner? If not, let treat you to a al! If you've eaten, then I'll invite you for tea!"
This person's invitation was straightforward and direct.
Lin Jie softly replied: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm on my way ho."
He candidly said: "Dean Fang, I finished a major surgery today and am quite exhausted. If you have sothing to say, please say it over the phone."
"If it's inconvenient, we can only rearrange for another day."
After waiting for a mont, Fang Lianggong's voice ca through the phone again.
"Dr. Lin, soone reached out to . I couldn't refuse them, so I had to muster the courage to call you."
"Oh, what specifically is it about?"
"Liu Guangxi!"
Upon hearing this na, Lin Jie imdiately understood.
As far as he knows, Liu Guangxi, due to inflammation and ischemia-hypoxia issues with his brain, still hasn't woken up and is in a vegetative state.
Lin Jie asked knowingly: "Wasn't Liu Guangxi transferred to the Capital City's Xiehe Hospital, where under expert consultation his condition showed significant improvent? Why are they contacting again, did his condition relapse?"
"Is a one or two percent increase in brainwave activity considered significant improvent? He's still in a coma, utterly unconscious."
Fang Lianggong snorted disdainfully and continued: "For them to go through roundabout ways to get to shows there's no hope."
"Dr. Lin, I'm sowhat aware of your conflict with the Liu Family."
"But I heard that you once, out of a doctor's responsibility, put aside conflicts with the Liu Family and kindly reminded Liu Guangxi to pay attention to his health condition."
"What a pity…"
Fang Lianggong lanted: "Your good intentions were ignored."
"I just don't understand, given your dical skills and reputation, even if Liu Guangxi expressed disbelief openly, wouldn't he have second thoughts privately?"
"Going to the hospital for a full examination isn't that complicated."
However, Lin Jie understood in his heart.
Liu Guangxi might have gone to the hospital for a check-up.
However, at that ti Lin Jie did not tell him that it was his brain that had issues.
If back then, his brain only had mild inflammation, a general full body examination might not detect it.
Usually, going for a physical exam doesn't include cranial CT or cerebrospinal fluid tests.
Then, Fang Lianggong's voice rang out again, "Dr. Lin, could you once again take on Liu Guangxi's treatnt as a doctor?"
Now is a different ti.
If he hadn't heard from Ren Jianzhong that this guy and Qiao Hongzhen were plotting against him, there might still be a slim chance.
But now...
Lin Jie politely declined: "Dean Fang, he's already in a vegetative state, and most treatnts are ineffective. We can only rely on slow self-recovery and continuous care and stimulation from his family to hope for a miracle."
"In this situation, there's nothing I can do. Dean Fang, I'm very sorry!"
Fang Lianggong chuckled, "Dr. Lin, you're too polite, no need to apologize!"
"I'm fully aware of Liu Guangxi's condition."
"Honestly, if you agreed to take over the treatnt, I'd suspect you're an alien from a higher level of civilization."
The phone emitted Fang Lianggong's hearty laughter again, "Now that you ntion it, I'm starting to suspect you might not be from Earth, haha…"
