Chapter 497: Chapter 453: Melancholic Blue Eyes

Back at Sanbo Hospital, Yang Ping went to work as usual, with the addition of a company in his hand, which had almost no impact on him.

Everything is but a tool, this company, like the surgical instruments in his hand, are all tools.

With the money earned from the United States, Yang Ping invested in scientific research, set up a company, and bought a house in a community near the hospital. He bought a duplex house of more than three hundred square meters with an airspace garden.

Yang Ping is a person who doesn’t shortchange himself. If he has the capability, why not make himself live more comfortably.

This house was prepared for marriage. Although Xiao Su’s family was well-off, the two decided to be self-reliant and to take it step by step.

It seems that under the current situation, the house has been bought and there is no need to take it step by step.

Gan Fengyi’s mother’s respiratory muscle and limb strength have recovered to level five.

From zero to five, there are six levels of human skeletal muscle strength. Level zero indicates no muscle contraction at all, the muscle is no different from a piece of dead meat, unable to perform any exercise function; level one is when the muscle can contract, but cannot generate movement, you can see the contraction of the limbs muscle, but the limbs still do not move; Level two is when the muscle can drive the movement, but cannot resist gravity, the limbs can move on the bed, but they just can’t lift up; Level three can resist gravity, the limbs can lift up, but can’t resist resistance, when you lightly touch a finger, the limbs can’t lift up; Level four, not only can they lift up, they can resist some resistance, add some strength, they can still lift up, but with a larger force, the limbs still can’t lift; Level five means that they have returned to normal and can resist normal resistance.

Gan Fengyi’s mother has now completely recovered, can walk freely, and breathe effortlessly. She can actually leave the hospital, but for the sake of caution, Gan Fengyi has transferred her to the rehabilitation department to continue her rehabilitation.

At some point, money can buy health, if not for the hundreds of thousands of air transfers, there is probably no hope for Gan Fengyi’s mother now.

Yang Ping took the opportunity to check on the rehabilitation of her mother. Gan Fengyi was accompanying her mother in training.

Firefighting hero Xiao Guoqiang happened to be there, too, focusing on finger training, and he could now perform thumb to palm actions, which are critical to hand function.

Seeing their recovery, Yang Ping thought of the person in the ICU who was kept alive on ECMO, he called Dr. Meng of the ICU.

Dr. Meng said that the patient miraculously held on. If it weren’t for his wife’s persistence, there wouldn’t have been any hope left.

He held on! That’s truly a miracle! Sometimes life is fragile, and sometimes it is tough. Until the end, no one can predict the outcome.

Yang Ping recalls the tearful young woman at the door of the ICU who tried to kneel before the doctors and begged them to hold on.

He was deeply moved, some people still do not give up when in that situation.

If love can play a role in treatment, then this might be the greatest role that love plays.

Although not his patient, upon hearing this news, Yang Ping felt at ease. This might be a doctor’s professional reaction, a person unrelated to him coming out of life-threatening danger also makes him genuinely happy.

Song Zimo was leading everyone in surgery, after finishing the work in the department, Yang Ping drove to Li Quan Hospital.

They have just admitted a special case, a patient with brittle bone disease.

Brittle bone disease, commonly known as porcelain doll, also known as osteogenesis imperfecta, is a hereditary disease caused by a disorder in the synthesis of collagen, the immature development of mesenchymal tissue is a metabolic, connective tissue disease.

Frail bones, loose joints, poor tooth enamel, hearing impairment, and most characteristic blue sclera are characteristic manifestations of this disease.

The biggest characteristic of this disease is that the bones are brittle and prone to fractures. Turning in sleep or sneezing can cause fractures.

This patient had a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint. The surgery was performed at Yunjian Hospital by Director Tang. During the surgery, the drilling and tunneling resulted in the shattering of the entire distal femur, leading to surgical failure.

At that time, Boss Cheng sent the case information to Yang Ping. Yang Ping suggested waiting for the fracture to heal before redoing the surgery to rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament.

Now the patient’s fracture has healed well and hopes to undergo surgery.

As Yang Ping’s Volvo XC90 drove into the parking lot of Li Quan Hospital, Boss Cheng was already waiting at the entrance. Seeing Yang Ping’s car coming in, he ran along with the car, leading the way, and parked Yang Ping in a specific parking spot.

This parking spot was left specifically for Yang Ping. It was usually locked and not available for anyone else to park.

After parking his car, Yang Ping got out, and Boss Cheng was sweating profusely. He immediately helped to open the car door.

Why was Boss Cheng running after his car? Yang Ping knew that this parking spot was vacant, so he drove straight here at a faster speed. Boss Cheng ran a good distance and was a bit exhausted. Yang Ping also forgot to stop the car for a moment to let him get in.

"Why are you running after my car? This is not my first time coming here." Yang Ping followed Boss Cheng into the hospital.

Old Cheng wiped his sweat while saying, "It’s okay, acting as a form of exercise."

As they passed by the hospital lobby, a few nurses greeted him enthusiastically. They seemed to be talking about something. Yang Ping didn’t care, and pretended not to notice.

The hospital which has passed the JCI accreditation is quite regulated and carries out every detail perfectly. Every matter can be conducted according to the procedure. JCI indeed provides a complete and scientific hospital management system.

The ward was professionally designed, such as the color combinations, which was not done randomly. They were designed by psychologists and color experts.

Doctor Wan escorted, Old Cheng accompanied Yang Ping to visit the patient.

Upon opening the door, a pair of hesitant blue eyes immediately drew attention.

A pair of profoundly sorrowful blue eyes, as if they held a depth of blue sea, flickering with a unique charm.

Even among Europeans, it is the iris that is blue, but this patient has blue sclera.

Blue sclera, a symptom of osteogenesis imperfecta.

Of course, the disease does not just affect the bone structure, it often affects other connective tissues such as eyes, ears, teeth, and skin.

Yang Ping was very familiar with this patient’s medical history because he had visited him several times before.

Male, thirty years old, an art teacher.

He often suffers from fractures, making him a frequent visitor to the hospital. He rolled up his sleeves and pant legs to show us. His upper and lower limbs on both sides had all gone through fractures.

This time, he doesn’t know why, there was no significant trauma, yet the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee suddenly ruptured. Originally, he did not want to undergo another surgery, but after the ligament was torn, his right knee became very unstable, severely inhibiting his ability to walk, so he decided to have surgery.

This type of patients usually have very loose joints. With one primary ligament torn, the entire knee becomes even more unstable. He sways while walking, always fearing a fall.

At that time, the head of the Yunjian Hospital, Director Tang, was very popular — a social media celebrity doctor with high praise for his skill and sense of responsibility. So, the patient decided to seek medical treatment there.

However, during the surgery, he ended up with a comminuted fracture at the distal end of his right femur.

The patient had no choice but to transfer to Li Quan Hospital for help. Boss Cheng decided to provide subsequent treatment for the patient.

Doctor Wan asked him why he chose Yunjian Hospital. The patient stated he did not want to queue up. Yunjian Hospital had advertisements everywhere, and Director Tang’s popularity on TikTok was high, so he was drawn in by his reputation.

Upon arriving at the hospital, he found the doctors and nurses were very kind. Several doctors and nurses surrounded him, speaking courteously and showing meticulous care during the check-up. This made him feel really moved—something other hospitals, particularly public ones, couldn’t match.

He felt that if he didn’t choose Yunjian Hospital for his surgery, he would not be doing justice to their warmth.

Besides, during his hospital stay, he observed that Director Tang was indeed a good doctor.

Several examples were seen firsthand. For instance, Director Tang often said: "This doesn’t need surgery. The doctors at that hospital just want to make money." Or, "This surgery was done terribly. The nail placement was poor. I have been a doctor for 30 years and I have never seen such lousy basic skills." And, "Is this surgery performed in a major hospital? Is this their standard now?"

Immediately, the patient felt Director Tang was the best doctor in the world, and that all others were just hacks, undeserving of their reputation. Hence, he willingly decided to have surgery at Yunjian Hospital.

Upon Director Tang’s recommendation, he spent extra 20,000 RMB for an AI-powered high-tech examination, another 40,000 RMB to get his foreskin circumcised, and even had a delayed surgery, which they threw in for free.

Upon discharge, the doctors and nurses helped him pack up his belongings, and a car was arranged to send him home.

This was the standard of a good hospital in China. The patient felt indignant about his past experiences in hospitals where each visit would only last a few minutes and the doctors wouldn’t even give a pleasant face.

They really cared for the patients by offering a home-service. This was really commendable.

Not long after, Yunjian Hospital sent doctors and nurses to his home to guide his rehabilitation, stating it was necessary to strengthen his muscle before he could undergo anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. They also brought along some crucial news from his AI body-check: a mole on his neck had a high chance of turning into a malignant melanoma and needed to be removed, followed by an anti-cancer treatment.

The patient was filled with gratitude and spent tens of thousands more to undergo a mole removal and anti-cancer treatment.

"Hold on, I didn’t quite catch that. You’re saying you went to have your anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery, but before that happened, you had a circumcision, mole removal, and some kind of anti-cancer treatment? All of these cost nearly 100,000 RMB in total?" Boss Cheng attempted to clarify what the patient just said.

The patient was extremely proud: "That’s correct! Especially the AI body check and the anti-cancer treatment. I would recommend your hospital to introduce this military-grade black technology from the United States. It’s very practical."

Yang Ping and Old Cheng exchanged looks.

"Isn’t Yunjian supposed to be specialized in sports medicine? Why are they also performing circumcisions?" Yang Ping was confused.

Dean Cai explained: "Yunjian’s business is very broad. They own many hospitals and their patients can interchange among them—they have a specialized health check hospital, a department for men’s health, a cancer hospital, and many others."

"Alright, enough with the useless talk. Tell us, how did you end up here for surgery?" Old Cheng believed that this patient had trouble with his intellect.

Dammit, with this intellect, how could he willingly spend 40,000 RMB on a circumcision?

Even for someone like Old Cheng, a boss, if he were to actually get a circumcision that costs 40,000 RMB, he’d need to weigh his options carefully first.
