Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1126 - 1086: An Unexpected Aftermath

From eight thirty-five in the morning until ten past six in the evening, for these over nine hours, Lin Jie has been engaged in one task: reconstructing the face bones for the unfortunate child.It requires immense patience and meticulousness to piece together hundreds or even thousands of irregularly sized bone fragments into a seamless whole, but Lin Jie possesses these qualities in abundance, and they are exceptionally outstanding.

As for the minor defects in the facial bones, Lin Jie used some of the child's rib cartilage for repairs.

After completing the facial bone puzzle, Lin Jie sorted through the scant remaining facial muscles and skin of the unfortunate child post-debridement, then sprayed a layer of bioglue to nurture the facial skin tissue and accelerate recovery.

Following that, he inserted needles for microcurrent stimulation all over the unfortunate child's face.

Gao Yanhong conducted tests overnight and provided Lin Jie with several data points this morning.

At 85.55 microamps, continuous stimulation for approximately eight minutes and twenty seconds results in a gradual decline in the heightened activity of bone cells.

If the continuous stimulation time is less than five minutes, bone cells remain sensitive to microcurrent stimulation after three hours.

Lin Jie checked the various physiological values of the unfortunate child once more, instructing, "Continue the microcurrent stimulation for three minutes, once every three hours. After Gao Yanhong obtains more detailed and conclusive experimental data, I will make the corresponding adjustments."

"The subsequent work is up to you all."

As assistants to the surgery, Zeng Yang and Guo Peng echoed together, watching Lin Jie leave.

Upon exiting the operating room, Lin Jie was surprised to find quite an unexpected number of people waiting outside.

He saw Cheng Xingguang, Yuan Guangxi, An Kexin, Ling Mengjiao, and others.

Lin Jie briefly explained the surgery to the anxious parents and family of the unfortunate child, then observed Cheng Xingguang and Yuan Guangxi approaching with several others.

"Expert Lin, let me introduce you!"

Cheng Xingguang pointed at a few eager-eyed individuals beside him and introduced, "This is Deputy Mayor Jian, responsible for Binhai City's culture, education, and health, and this is Director Wang from the health bureau..."

Upon hearing the introductions, Lin Jie understood that these leaders had come to the grassroots level to convey their congratulations and condolences.

Amid official discourse on national glory and contributions, Lin Jie engaged in brief yet warm exchanges with Deputy Mayor Jian, Director Wang, and others, concluding with a commemorative photo taken together.

After a simple cleanse and short rest, Lin Jie returned to the office, only to find Cheng Xingguang, Yuan Guangxi, An Kexin, and Ling Mengjiao all gazing at him with gleaming eyes.

Lin Jie slowly sat down, pretending to be calm and said, "Isn't it just a paper published in The Lancet? I've published papers in similarly ranked journals before."

"Do you all need to make such a fuss?"

Cheng Xingguang pointed at Lin Jie, unable to hold back a laugh, "Expert Lin, you can pretend to be calm with me!"

"Don't tell me you don't realize the significance of this paper yourself."

"Your new method of inducing tumor growth represents a major breakthrough in the treatment of malignant tumors."

Cheng Xingguang took a deep breath, excitedly saying, "Expert Lin, your experimental method has gained acceptance from the mainstream medical community worldwide!"

"Acceptance? So fast?"

This news actually surprised Lin Jie a bit.

He believed it would take at least one or two months for results from other doctors worldwide to serve as verification before being gradually acknowledged.

Yuan Guangxi hastily replied, "Indeed, it has gained acceptance."

"Expert Lin, the theory in your paper is easy to understand, and the case data is written in great detail."

"Dr. Goebbels from the University of Gothenburg Hospital validated the authenticity of the case. Coupled with the authoritative nature of The Lancet magazine and the reputation you've previously built."

"Therefore, no one questions the viability of this achievement."

At this moment, An Kexin waved the phone in her hand, excitedly saying, "Ajie, during your surgery, I used your phone to receive several congratulatory calls."

"There was a congratulatory call personally from Minister Xiao of the National Health Commission and several calls from military generals."

"Ajie, your paper is indeed receiving widespread attention."

Yuan Guangxi proudly chuckled, "That's only natural."

"To my knowledge, no fellow countryman has ever been featured on the cover of The Lancet. Expert Lin, you're the first."

Taking advantage of the pause in Yuan Guangxi's words, Ling Mengjiao softly chimed in, "Lin Jie, your international Twitter account has gained nearly a million followers in just one day so far."

"Among them are international famed doctors like Dr. Siselda and Amos. They've all tagged you, congratulating you and praising this as an excellent, great research achievement."

"Additionally, from this morning until now, several people from the studio are almost going crazy, either taking various congratulatory and inquiry calls or responding to messages on various social media platforms."

Cheng Xingguang said happily, "Many calls were made to the hospital and school as well, almost overwhelming the inquiry lines. Of course, most inquiry calls were for consultation and seeking treatment."

Upon reaching this point, Cheng Xingguang pulled out a paper from his pocket, saying, "This is some statistics done by the hospital office, mainly calls from renowned medical institutions worldwide."

"I have compiled ninety-three."

"Besides congratulating, they mainly want to inquire about the inducer, hoping to obtain some experimental drugs from you for verification and treatment."

Yuan Guangxi also took out a paper, saying, "I have compiled sixty-seven, also primarily inquiries about experimental drugs."

"I have compiled fifty-three," Ling Mengjiao further reported.

Lin Jie chuckled lightly, saying, "We've already made some preparations for this situation."

"The Zhou Family has already stocked up some inducers, which can meet their needs. However, we've invested a substantial amount of funding to develop this experimental drug."

Lin Jie chuckled, "The cost is indeed high!"

Cheng Xingguang couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "These medical institutions aren't afraid of your high prices; they're quite wealthy. They are only concerned that you might withhold it."

"Expert Lin, just name your price!"

Yuan Guangxi cautioned, "Expert Lin, you also need to consider the issue of counterfeiting."

"These medical institutions contacting us are leading establishments from various countries, possessing strong R&D capabilities."

"Once they get their hands on the experimental drug, they'll definitely conduct detailed analyses."

Lin Jie confidently said, "I'm not afraid of their analysis and replication."

"This experimental reagent is primarily composed of traditional Chinese medicine, involving over twenty kinds, plus the unique boiling process of Chinese medicine, infiltration treatment, and a series of physical and chemical changes among various components."

"If they can still replicate it under such circumstances, then so be it."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "Last night, Maxwell from Massachusetts General Hospital ordered fifty vials of the experimental drug at a unit price of ten thousand US dollars each."

"For overseas medical institutions, we'll use this price as a reference."

"As for domestic medical institutions, one thousand RMB will suffice."

Lin Jie added, "If they want this experimental drug, they need to sign a waiver agreement. Inform them that this is an experimental drug; we do not guarantee any effects and do not rule out any possible side effects."

"We accept no responsibility for any adverse outcomes caused by the experimental drug."

Cheng Xingguang, momentarily stunned, said excitedly, "Expert Lin, your words remind me of 1949."

Before Lin Jie could ask, he boldly said, "That was when the Chinese people stood up."

"Before, when we purchased foreign medical equipment and technology, we had to accept their terms, whether we liked it or not. But now, the time has come when we can set the terms freely."

Lin Jie laughed, saying, "Dean Cheng, this kind of situation will become more and more common in the future."

With these words, hearty laughter instantly echoed in the office.

After the laughter subsided, Cheng Xingguang suddenly remembered something and said, "Expert Lin, your paper will also have a very significant subsequent impact."

"There are so many cancer patients worldwide; now they see hope to live on from your paper, and they will naturally hold on to this hope."

He reminded him, "Estimate that in a few days, a vast army of patients seeking treatment from all over the world will directly head to Binhai."

"Expert Lin, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Lin Jie hadn't really thought about this subsequent impact before.

"My new therapy is still in the experimental stage; the effect is not immediate, nor can it guarantee success. Patients' acceptance of this new therapy shouldn't be exaggerated, right?"

Yuan Guangxi emphatically said, "Expert Lin, I can tell you, patients' acceptance of this new therapy is not exaggerated, but extremely exaggerated."

"Never underestimate the desire for life of someone in a desperate situation."

"People diagnosed with malignant tumors have already despaired of the future."

"Suddenly, you gave them some hope, like a drowning person clinging to a wooden board. They will hold on tight."

Yuan Guangxi then looked at An Kexin, saying, "President An, Anlin Hospital could consider opening ahead of schedule. Even an empty top-tier hospital can be filled by this influx of patients."

An Kexin hadn't anticipated this situation.

She looked troubled and said, "Anlin Hospital is not ready yet. We had planned to open on the 18th of next month, and all preparations are scheduled according to this timeline."

"Perhaps we could work overnight to expedite the process?"

"There's no need!"

Lin Jie directly rejected the suggestion, saying, "A hospital is a place to treat and save lives. Rushing could lead to errors, which isn't good."

"Kexin, just follow the original plan step by step."

"As for the patients attracted by this paper, with my current time and energy, I can't accept many."

"Even if students can help me take in more, it won't be much. More patients will end up disappointed."

Cheng Xingguang couldn't help but ask, "Expert Lin, could you temporarily train a batch of personnel?"

Lin Jie shook his head, "It's doable, but the results can't be guaranteed."

"Dean Cheng, doing so would be irresponsible to the patients."

Cheng Xingguang sighed lightly, saying slowly, "Going back disappointed to wait for death, or receiving treatment with uncertain results but having a glimmer of hope."

"Expert Lin, guess which one the patients would choose?"

Lin Jie was silent for a moment, then said helplessly, "Dean Cheng, select a group of key personnel from the hospital, and I will train them as soon as possible."

Just then, Lin Jie heard a familiar voice from the outer office, "Is Expert Lin here?"
