Chapter 1264: Chapter 963: The Pediatrician Who Went to Sea

After chatting with Director Liao and setting the puncture plan, Yang Ping had a short conversation with the head of the Surgery department and the doctors of the Overseas Chinese Building. He didn’t come here often, and now the consultations here were handled by Song Zimo. He was just passing by today.

So Yang Ping was quite a rare visitor, and how could the head of the Surgery department and the doctors let go of such a precious opportunity to chat? They insisted on keeping Yang Ping around, using the discussion of cases as a pretext to strengthen the camaraderie among colleagues.

After chatting with everyone for about fifteen minutes and saying goodbye to the head of the department and the doctors of the Overseas Chinese Building, Yang Ping left the office, took out his cell phone, and saw many unread WeChat messages, among which was one from Luo Jin. The guy had finally replied, probably having decided to undergo the surgery.

Upon reading the WeChat message, Yang Ping saw that Luo Jin had considered it over and over again. If the surgery only allowed him to live seated in a wheelchair, he would rather wait as he could still play soccer for now.

The text message from Luo Jin was lengthy and well-structured, obviously drafted after much careful thought.

If he could survive the surgery but would have to sit in a wheelchair forever, or if he didn’t undergo surgery, it would definitely endanger his life. However, the uncertainty of when the problems would arise ranged from a few months to several years, depending on the rate at which the illness progressed.

Faced with the choice between life and soccer, Luo Jin astonishingly chose soccer.

Yang Ping knew he couldn’t persuade him but still replied earnestly, "I hope you reconsider. The success rate of the surgery is very high. Compared to life, postoperative complications are negligible. Living in a wheelchair is also a way of life."

But Luo Jin replied that it was a well-considered choice and that he would not regret it.

From a medical perspective, it was indeed a pity, as his life could still be saved through surgery now. In a little while, there would no longer be a chance for surgery, and his life would inevitably be beyond saving.

Among Yang Ping’s friends, there were many inspirational people, but Luo Jin was perhaps the most motivating. His life had been full of hardships, with each step taken amid great difficulty.

Luo Jin had nasal pharyngeal cancer as a child but later recovered.

It was during his golden period of soccer skill improvement that he had a car accident that resulted in multiple fractures throughout his body. Fans once thought he would never return to the green fields, but he stood up once again. Through arduous rehabilitation training, he fought his way back onto the soccer field.

Later, when his knee joint was seriously damaged and retirement was imminent, Yang Ping helped him with surgery that restored function, allowing him to return to the field. He fulfilled his dream by joining a club in Europe and played well, becoming a first-line player. The journey had been hard and full of obstacles.

Currently, a huge poster of Luo Jin still hangs in the Sanbo Sports Medicine Center. When the center was founded, Luo Jin acted as a spokesperson for free, promoting the Sports Medicine Center and building its brand image. Today’s Sports Medicine is now ranked top three in the nation, and Luo Jin faces another life-threatening challenge.

If he doesn’t have the surgery, Luo Jin will likely not escape this peril, at least that’s Yang Ping’s current judgment.

Ivan, from New Zealand, messaged saying he wanted to come to China to use Professor He’s Digital Human simulation for surgery because his Italian patient’s operation was too complicated. The heterotopic facial transplant donor was from a brain-dead patient, and Ivan had already obtained facial data of the donor. He needed to simulate the reconstruction of the donor’s face and then rebuild the patient’s face, simulating a match between the two to ensure that the nerve vessels could be more accurately and precisely connected.

The Laboratory at Sanbo Hospital and Professor He’s Laboratory at Nandu Medical University form one part of Yang Ping’s iron triangle of research topics, so they often gather to communicate. Professor He has also learned some methods from Tang Shun to establish a mechanism for making money with Digital Human technology.

For instances like Ivan’s, where Digital Human technology is needed to assist surgery, a certain fee is charged based on the time and extent of use. This fee is generally quite substantial, amounting to several million US dollars. This approach can provide enough self-fundraising for Digital Human, allowing it to make money and identify potential shortcomings during use.

You must learn how to make money, pursue profit, and express the value of technology, Tang Shun told Professor He.

Professor He calculated that if Digital Human technology were fully opened up, it could be widely applied, and could earn a significant amount of funds each year. These funds could not only be invested into research but also be used to improve the researchers’ compensation.

With Digital Human technology as a foundation, Ruixing Medical’s future research and development of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment will also accelerate. Therefore, breakthroughs in basic research can drive progress in many fields – that’s the importance of foundational research.

Basic research is like the foundation of a building; if the foundation is solid, there is great potential for the building to reach higher heights. If the foundation is weak, it severely limits the design and construction of the building, forcing it to be kept to a certain height.

Just as Yang Ping finished replying to these friends’ messages, he heard a series of shouts behind him.

"Yang Ping! Yang Ping! Yang Ping!"

Yang Ping felt the voice was familiar, so he stopped and looked back.

A man dressed in VIP patient attire was waving. Yang Ping recognized the familiar face.

"I’m Niu Zhixuan!"

Niu Zhixuan?

Yang Ping remembered him; he was a colleague from his time at the People’s Hospital. They had lived in the same dormitory and often played basketball together, sharing a close relationship. At that time, Niu Zhixuan worked in pediatrics at the City People’s Hospital.
