Chapter 1349: Chapter 1023: Explaining the Illness with VR

When Professor Mainshtan first stepped onto Chinese soil, he adopted the posture of a seasoned traveler, trying hard to pose as a regular familiar with the place. His eyes twinkled with curiosity and anticipation, as if with every breath he was attempting to imbibe the novel essence of the land.

Upon arriving at the doctor’s office, Professor Mainshtan stood before Professor Yang Ping without knowing who he was since he had never met Yang Ping before. It wasn’t until Song Zimo introduced them that he went up to give Yang Ping a big hug.

"I’ve missed you so much!"

Professor Mainshtan hugged Yang Ping tightly, with his somewhat exaggerated tone of voice.

Despite having established a deep friendship through frequent WeChat and email exchanges, this face-to-face meeting was still their first.

Yang Ping was taken aback by this sudden display of enthusiasm, being hugged so tightly by Professor Mainshtan that he could hardly breathe, he could only pat him on the shoulder, while Song Zimo hurriedly said, "Alright, introduce your friend."

"This is Mr. Brian, my good friend."

Professor Mainshtan released Yang Ping and turned to introduce an elderly German man and a little girl who were following along behind him.

The little girl’s attire was particularly eye-catching; she was wearing a specially made vest, not ordinary clothing but a protective cover designed to shield her exposed heart. This scene couldn’t help but evoke a surge of sorrow and pity in Professor Yang Ping upon this first encounter.

"Hello!" Mr. Brian shook hands with Professor Yang Ping politely, his eyes filled with gratitude and expectation.

Professor Brian’s research field was in basic medical science, but for his granddaughter’s treatment, he taught himself a great deal of knowledge in cardiac surgery, becoming somewhat of a theoretical cardiac surgeon.

Professor Yang Ping escorted Aisha, Professor Mainshtan, and Mr. Brian to a ward’s examination room, where he inquired in detail about the medical history and conducted a thorough examination of Aisha, including a detailed cardiac auscultation, to acquire firsthand clinical data.

After these tasks were completed, Professor Yang Ping quickly arranged for the on-duty doctor to process the hospital admission procedures for the little girl, Aisha. In the doctor’s office, Professor Yang Ping explained Aisha’s condition in detail to Mr. Brian.

Over the years, Mr. Brian had visited renowned doctors to find a glimmer of hope for Aisha’s rebirth. He had taken her to the United States to consult an experienced surgeon in this type of surgery. Yet, after a thorough examination, the American doctor regretfully shook his head, indicating that the surgery had virtually no chance of success and he could not take on such a risk.

This setback had once again plunged Mr. Brian’s heart into the abyss. It wasn’t until Professor Mainshtan told him that China’s Professor Yang Ping might have the capability to operate on Aisha, that a spark of hope was once again ignited in his heart.

"Professor Yang, can Aisha undergo surgery?"

Mr. Brian asked worriedly. He asked the same question of many doctors before and the answer he received was always, "I’m sorry, the surgery cannot be performed." Therefore, this time, Mr. Brian was very afraid of getting the same response.

After contemplating Aisha’s imaging, Professor Yang Ping’s earnest expression eased, "No problem, surgery is viable."

Mr. Brian sighed in relief, while Professor Mainshtan’s face showed a proud expression, as if saying to Brian: See, I’ve done you a great favor. Didn’t I tell you Professor Yang could be the chief surgeon for Aisha’s operation? Brian turned his head gratefully towards Mainshtan, then said to Yang Ping, "Thank you!"

"Let’s complete the pre-surgical checks and arrange the surgery as soon as possible. The process is very complex and the surgical risks are substantial. Mr. Brian, if you are interested, we can use VR technology to simulate the entire procedure, showing you exactly how the surgery will be done and the risks it involves. The VR operating room is our powerful assistant," Yang Ping said to Brian and Mainshtan.

To demonstrate the surgical plan more vividly and boost Brian’s confidence, Yang Ping decided to invite Mainshtan and Brian to the Digital Medical Laboratory at Nandu Medical University. He planned to use the VR operating room to explain the details of Aisha’s surgery.

Brian’s eyebrows lifted immediately, "I would very much like that. Last April, when I went to lecture at Cleveland State University, the researchers told me that they were going to scrap the traditional anatomy labs. Medical students will no longer learn anatomy around cadavers; instead, they will be replaced by VR technology-based anatomy laboratories.

In October, I visited Fundamental VR in the United Kingdom. With advanced VR technology, they established an anesthesia simulation system. Young doctors no longer need to nervously demonstrate their still immature skills on real people. Instead, they connect the specially developed software to a stylus.

Under the VR view, this stylus becomes a syringe; click one button and the syringe empties, another, and it will refill with the injectate. As the operator moves the stylus in the real world, the virtual syringe replicates the motions. When the virtual needle pierces into the virtual body, different tactile responses are fed back to the operator through the stylus, making them feel the reactions of a real body, as if truly performing an anesthesia puncture. Their tactile feedback system can accurately simulate the sensation of the needle passing through skin, fascia, bones, and other different tissues."

Mr. Brian couldn’t stop talking about the VR operating room once it was mentioned. He was eager to see what Yang Ping’s VR operating room was like and, more so, to see what Aisha’s surgery would be like and what unexpected situations might arise under VR.

At this moment, the office of the Surgical Research Institute had already gathered many people. Mainshtan and Brian were both Nobel Prize laureates; everyone wanted to come see the world-famous medical figures, especially as Mainshtan was a versatile player in the field of medicine who achieved significant research results in multiple areas of clinical and basic medicine.

However, the doctors and nurses at the Surgical Research Institute seemed not quite as enthusiastic. From the moment Mainshtan and Brian entered the department, there was no noticeable gathering of people—the staff continued with their own work, appearing much more generous.

The purpose of using VR technology to explain the illness was not only to communicate the condition better but also to showcase the digital medical techniques of Nandu Medical University to the two international guests, to attract them to participate in the usage of Nandu Medical University’s digital technology and to push new technology globally, gaining sufficient influence.

In the academic field, being powerful means not only leading in technology but also actively integrating into the world, maintaining close communication and cooperation with it, and ultimately becoming a rulemaker. Strength behind closed doors is hard to sustain and will eventually be phased out.

When Professor Mainshtan heard that Professor Yang owned his own VR virtual operating room, his interest was instantly stoked. He couldn’t wait to witness for himself what unique features this VR operating room, viewed by Yang Ping as a powerful assistant, truly possessed.

PS: There is no abandonment, it’s just that I’ve been really busy recently and have had no time to update. Thank you, everyone.
