Chapter 842: Chapter 752: The Strongest Doctor on Earth

Dr. Ivan was about to return to his country.

The purpose of Dr. Ivan’s visit to China was to invite Yang Ping to participate in a surgery. He thought he would only need a few days and then he could go back, but he ended up staying in China for much longer than expected, and his visa was soon to expire, so he was preparing to return to New Zealand.

At that time, Dr. Ivan believed that Yang Ping was only skilled in orthopedic surgery. After coming to China, he learned that Yang Ping was a rare all-rounder surgeon. In the whole world, Ivan had only seen one other all-rounder surgeon before, and that was Manstein from Germany.

The omnipotent Manstein was like a godlike figure. Ivan never expected to find a second god in this world.

His trip to China also yielded an unexpected gain: Skin Expansion Technology.

He had previously used Manstein’s Skin Expansion Technology, which could be applied in Plastic Surgery, but it hardly met Ivan’s standards, as Manstein’s skin differed significantly in texture and color.

During his time at Sanbo Hospital, Dr. Ivan reached an agreement with Tang Shun, the director of Sanbo Stem Cell Laboratory, to pay an annual technology licensing fee of 30 million US dollars. In return, Tang Shun would help Ivan establish a laboratory in New Zealand, specifically for skin expansion.

He had achieved his unexpected objective, but not his initial one, as Yang Ping had refused Dr. Ivan’s surgery invitation.

Before leaving China, Dr. Ivan decided to have a serious talk with Yang Ping, hoping he would join the surgery and even more so that he would join Langnaife, a dream place for a medical genius.

In Yang Ping’s office, Dr. Ivan began his persuasion, with Robert acting as the interpreter.

Firstly, he didn’t dive straight into the main topic but instead brought out a case file, the detailed information of the "Princess of Sicily, Italy."

Initially, he had invited Yang Ping to participate in the orthopedic part of the surgery, so he only sent a portion of the information to Yang Ping. Now, he presented the complete case file.

This case required many plastic surgeries, but at its core was a face transplant, a true face-changing technology—an allogeneic full facial transplant.

"Professor—"

Dr. Ivan pointed at the picture.

"It’s missing too many things, not just the skin. The missing tissues or organs include ears, nose, lips, teeth, upper and lower eyelids, half of the lower jawbone, parts of the cheekbone, a significant amount of facial muscle—resorting to skin grafting combined with ear and nose reconstruction technology to rebuild the facial features is no longer possible. We need to choose an entire face with all the missing tissues and organs and then transplant it all at once."

The world’s best doctor at full face transplants was Dr. Ivan, whose patients could hardly be told they had undergone surgery post-operatively.

Yang Ping squinted his eyes and stared at the picture on the screen. Such a full face transplant required the connection of many blood vessels and indeed presented difficulties.

At least, none of the full face transplants documented in the literature so far were half as complex as this case.

Allogeneic facial transplant, that is, a real face-changing surgery, and for allogeneic full face transplants, there are currently more than 40 cases reported in the world, each with significant difficulty and high risk.

"If we attempt a one-time overall transplant, the number of organs and tissues involved is a bit much. The blood vessels to be connected are not only numerous but also complex," Yang Ping evaluated.

"Many countries’ laws prohibit one-time multiple organ transplants. The number of transplanted organs involved in her surgery is too many. To avoid legal risks, we can only perform the surgery on a medical ship in international waters."

Dr. Ivan explained why he chose this mysterious method of operation. Yang Ping had always been resistant to such secretive methods.

"If the Professor could take part in this surgery, what a perfect thing it would be. This is the most difficult full facial transplant in the world; together, we will create a miracle, giving the desperate a brand new, beautiful face—this will be a sensational event in the history of surgery."

Ivan promptly switched to this topic.

Yang Ping shook his head, "I’m not accustomed to this method of operation. You should find someone else who is more skilled. Full face transplants are your forte, and as for pelvic osteotomy—many orthopedic surgeons can do it."

"No, we want perfection. No one can match your level of perfection. Ivan never delivers subpar results, only the best," Dr. Ivan said with a hint of urgency.

Yang Ping still shook his head, uninterested in the matter, "Dr. Ivan, I never engage in things outside my interests."

This so-called Langnaife, and some Caduceus organization, all secretive, like some kind of mafia.

There were baseless rumors that they were involved in organ smuggling, which once severely damaged Langnaife Company’s reputation. However, later they invited reporters aboard their medical ship to show the world the entire surgical process and all the legal documentation, which finally quelled the situation.

It seems that the company has a particular fondness for organ transplants and stem cell research. Later on, they utilized stem cell technology to cultivate human organs in pigs, achieving a breakthrough, though the technology wasn’t very mature.

"They broadly fund medical and biological research all over the world, and by joining them, you would obtain endless research funds," Ivan persisted.

Yang Ping shook his head, "I am not short of money."

"If you join them, you could go international, establishing widespread cooperation with top hospitals worldwide and academic exchange with all the top doctors and scientists."

"I have social anxiety."

"Several researchers they’ve funded have already won the Nobel Prize, and the strongest doctor on Earth, Manstein, is also one of their core members."

"The strongest on Earth---who coined that?"

Ivan was at a loss for words, unable to find a reason to convince this guy, who seemed to lack nothing and was uninterested in such vast resources.

In his mind, Yang Ping scoffed, considering maybe if it could burst gold coins, but without gold coins, there was no point in discussing.

Moreover, being invited to join an organization with a dark history, he could get his back slashed and never know what hit him.

He used to think about joining when he saw how great the company was, but on second thought, with the current widespread campaign against fraud, how could he possibly go out to international waters with someone he’d known for just a few days? Ridiculous.

The strongest on Earth---in our hearts, that’s clearly the Professor, Robert was indignant about this phrase.

The WeChat group started discussing it again, still about John Ansen’s case.

[We are using fMRI (functional MRI) to study the anatomy of this hemispherical brain, hoping to clarify the position of the various neural nuclei,]

John Ansen said.

[It’s either the hemisphere of a complete brain or a complete hemispherical brain.]

Yang Ping chimed in.

[I don’t understand what you mean.]

Woodhead was puzzled.

[The former means the sparrow, though deformed into half a sparrow, still has all its organs intact, like it’s been flattened; The latter means it’s just half a sparrow, with only half the internal organs, as if the sparrow has been split in two, it’s just half.]

It’s still Robert who has high proficiency in Chinese, even Takahashi couldn’t compare.

[First, clearly study the anatomy of the hemispherical brain before considering surgery.]
