Chapter 1104: Chapter 893 Dawn

At that time, Xia Shu, Dr. Jin, and Dr. Wen were still in disbelief as to why Yang Ping would entrust such an important surgery to the seemingly careless duo, Little Five and Zhang Lin.

In fact, Yang Ping was well aware. Having followed Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang for so long, Little Five and Zhang Lin might not be top-level, but they were certainly capable of handling the common surgeries at the Surgical Research Institute.

Moreover, during the entire surgery process, Yang Ping would be in surgical gown, standing on the platform. Although he remained silent, quietly watching them perform the surgery, he was ready to intervene whenever needed.

It was nearly five in the afternoon when the first two surgeries were done; Zhang Lin and Little Five went on to perform the third surgery, their spirits high as they planned to continue working until eleven or twelve at night.

The thrill of being chief surgeons for the first time was certainly there; among the latter two surgeries, one involved upper cervical spine surgery and the other was a thoracic spine tumor excision, both of which carried high risks, prompting Yang Ping to stay close by throughout.

Xia Shu, Dr. Jin, and Dr. Wen marveled at how even the workforce at the Surgical Research Institute was impressively skilled.

Like ordinary celestial soldiers in heavenly troops who might not even have names, but are still beyond the reach of even the most formidable mortals.

Dr. Jin, Dr. Wen, and Xia Shu initially thought there wouldn’t be much to see from their surgeries but decided to watch from start to finish, realizing that they not only could manage surgeries but also performed them well.

However, these two fellows were really interesting; lacking one, they couldn’t proceed with the surgery, requiring both to be present on the platform to operate.

The surgery continued until midnight, and if the anesthesiologist and nurses had not objected, the duo could have continued until dawn, still exhilarated at midnight.

After the surgery, Little Five and Zhang Lin slept in the department, checking on the patients’ vital signs in the middle of the night.

By six in the morning, they went together to check on the wards, carefully inspecting vital signs, urine output, and the results of postoperative blood tests amongst other things, and were very meticulous in checking the patients’ postoperative pain management, adjusting the pain relief plans according to the patients’ conditions to ensure they were as pain-free as possible.

After checking the wards, they discussed the surgeries from the day before in the doctors’ office, summarizing what was done well and learning from any mistakes. They also did not forget to call Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, assuring them that everything was fine at the department, encouraging them to relax and enjoy a few more days in Europe.

In the early morning in China, it was deep night in Germany. At this hour, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were quite dazed, wondering why they were being called in the middle of the night to be advised to rest a few more days, touched by their thoughtfulness.

In Frankfurt, Europe.

The Spinal Surgery Academic Annual Conference was in session. Perhaps to express gratitude to Chinese doctors for their contributions to spinal surgery, this year’s venue was uniquely decorated with Chinese elements.

Such elements included Chinese red, banners, and ceremony hostesses in cheongsams, giving the venue a refreshing look.

The most amusing part was August. Seeing Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang wearing Mandarin jackets, he immediately had a similar outfit custom-made; it actually looked quite good on him.

As a special guest, Manstein gave the opening speech at the conference, which was a highlight of the event.

In the past, Manstein had no interest in such things, but this time was different. Due to August’s close personal relationship with Professor Yang, Manstein reluctantly agreed to August’s request to enhance his connection with Professor Yang and took the stage to speak.

Manstein, a Nobel Prize laureate and an all-rounder in surgery, holds a god-like status in the hearts of doctors worldwide, especially those in Europe and America.

The theme of his opening speech was: "Dawn."

The gist of it was that spinal surgery had stagnated; many techniques that seemed vibrant were merely tools for those seeking quick success, such as dynamic fixation, artificial disc technologies, and minimally invasive techniques, all of which had reached a bottleneck, and no breakthrough had been achieved yet in spinal cord injury repair.

However, the appearance of Professor Yang’s innovative technologies broke down the high walls surrounding spinal surgery, letting everyone see the dawn of hope.

During his speech, Manstein mentioned Yang Ping’s name many times, repeatedly discussing Yang Ping’s new technologies.

Then came the speech by August, the chairman of the society. He summarized the current state and development of spinal surgery and pointed out the challenges it would face, such as the aging population, concluding that the future hope of the world lies in the East.

At the end of his speech, August did not forget to recommend the new Chinese Journal "Medical," even showing off the latest issue he had just received from Song Zimo.

The whole venue buzzed with surprise since they had never before considered reading a Chinese journal, nor did they expect the European Spine Surgery Society Chairman to recommend a Chinese-language journal at such a meeting.

"I’m not advertising, there’s absolutely no need for that, but I’m helping you all because without my recommendation, you would definitely overlook this journal despite it being one of the best in the world. It will help you enter a completely new world of medicine," he said.

"If you find Chinese difficult, don’t worry; in Europe, there are several volunteer academic organizations responsible for translating it into English, German, French, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, and more."

"I was once quite perplexed, but this journal showed me that hope is in sight, just as Mr. Manstein said—I’ve seen the dawn of medicine."’
