Surgery Godfather

Chapter 307: Chapter 0291: This Man is From Earth

This kind of incident was, at the end of the day, due to Anning Insurance’s recent venture overseas and lack of fame. Guo Jingyao’s family simply did not care, casually omitting the name, which resulted in such a farcical event.

Yang Ping didn’t become angry, he came here to assist Director Zhu. In regards to the Guo family, if they trust him, he would give his utmost effort. If they don’t, there’s nothing he could do.

An ancient saying goes: those who believe can be healed, those who don’t can’t!

Despite the great benevolence of heavenly rain, it cannot nourish the rootless grass; despite excellent medical skills, it is challenging to treat those one is not meant to help!

People who don’t believe in you simply can’t be treated.

In the meeting room, the consultation meeting had already started. Director Zhu was waiting in the resting room for the outcome. The staff of Anning Insurance Southeast Asia Company, feeling that their work error had caused this awkward situation, were deeply terrified. Director Zhu is the deputy head of the newly established high-end medical insurance subsidiary, their immediate superior.

Just as the company was making a key overseas expansion, committing such a basic error was unthinkable. It’s not impossible that a few people might be fired as an example to others.

However, Director Zhu didn’t blame them. He explained that things happen for a reason, and if one should be held responsible, there would be penalties, but he would never vent his anger without cause.

“This wasn’t your fault; it was a mistake made by Yingge Hospital,” Director Zhu placated everybody with his gentle demeanour.

The staff slightly relaxed since they had heard rumors before that President Zhu was polite, modest, but also wise, meticulous, and serious in his work.

Miss Li had been gone for quite a while, and still hadn’t returned. Director Zhu checked his watch; almost half an hour had passed.

This can’t be right, this situation obviously isn’t as simple as casually removing some names. How could that be possible? The family members don’t even know which expert is internationally renowned. A conspicuous high-class family like this wouldn’t mind an extra person or two attending the consultation.

Director Zhu’s mind was spinning rapidly, imagining various possibilities and analyzing their likelihood. Increasingly, he felt that the situation was not that simple. He immediately stood up and picked up his cell phone.

Being kept waiting for so long without seeing her return probably just meant they were dragging out the time until the consultation meeting was over, naturally making the issue disappear. Director Zhu quickly decided to report this matter to his superiors.

At this moment, Miss Li emerged from the room, along with a refined and cultivated middle-aged doctor, who was none other than Dr. Lin Mingyuan from Singapore Central Hospital. Recognizing Yang Ping at a glance, he said: “Doctor Yang, it really is you, hello. My apologies for our oversight in our work—”

“Doctor Lin!” Yang Ping also recognized him. He had met Doctor Lin during an academic conference, where Director Han had introduced him.

The world is small, but the medical field is even smaller. Yang Ping and Doctor Lin had run into each other here again.

The two immediately shook hands. Doctor Lin asked about Director Han’s current situation and enthusiastically invited Yang Ping to join the consultation meeting. He then turned to Miss Li and said sternly, “This is Doctor Yang from China, who is very accomplished in the field of orthopedics. Please ensure you find out where the error occurred and why Doctor Yang was denied entry.”

Although Doctor Lin is a chief expert, he was not the chief expert of Guo Jingyao’s medical team, but the chief expert of this consultation meeting. Yingge Hospital had invited him from Singapore,

and he wasn’t aware of the list of invited experts from Yingge Hospital.

It was only when Miss Li came in with the invitation to report that he saw the names and hospitals on the list, including Yang Ping, a name he remembered vividly.

“Please, come in quickly!” Dr. Lin was very respectful and polite to Yang Ping.

This surprised Director Zhu. Doctor Lin, who was based in Singapore, actually knew Yang Ping, and he respected Yang Ping deeply, and this respect was completely heartfelt.

Miss Li, seeing this scene, was relieved that she didn’t handle this matter arbitrarily. However, she did not understand how a doctor highly respected by Doctor Lin could have his name casually scratched off the list.

“You must be Mr. Zhu, the representative from Anning Insurance, let’s go in together,” Doctor Lin said politely.

In this conference, representatives from the insurance company were present, mainly assisting the experts and attending the meeting as observers without any speaking rights.

Under Dr. Lin’s guidance, Yang Ping and Director Zhu entered the meeting room and quietly found empty seats to sit in. Dr. Lin whispered a few words to Dr. Huang from Yingge Hospital, who kept nodding in response.

Dr. Huang is the head of the Spine Surgery

department at the Yingge Hospital in Kuala Lumpur and the team leader for Guo Jingyao’s medical team.

The discussion in the meeting room had already begun. Everyone gathered around the oval conference table, engaged in a heated debate with a variety of English accents blending together.

In academic discussions, people were direct and straightforward, especially Westerners. They had no regard for face-saving and did not mince their words. Every speaker presented their views and argued their points strongly.

“It seems that everyone’s opinions are quite unified. The patient sought medical attention due to a reduction in sensation and muscle strength in both lower limbs. CT and MRI scans of the thoracic and lumbar spine showed a cyst within the spinal canal of the thoracic spine. The cyst was compressing the spinal cord and causing neurological symptoms. The neurological symptoms and the compression caused by the cyst matched perfectly. Postoperative neurological symptoms improved, which is an effect of releasing the compression. However, one week later, the sensation and muscle strength of both lower limbs started to diminish again. This is in line with symptoms indicative of the surgery damaging the spinal cord blood supply. The postoperative MRI showed spinal cord edema, further corroborating this point. Symptoms of spinal ischemia manifest rather late. They do not show immediately after the surgery but gradually appear a few days later. The fourth to ninth thoracic segments of the spinal cord are known as risky areas due to poor blood supply. Any rough surgical operation can easily disrupt the spinal cord’s blood supply. Hence, there is plenty of

evidence for postoperative spinal cord ischemia symptoms in this case.”

Dr. Milton from the British Royal Orthopedic Hospital’s Spine Surgery department, a renowned figure in European spinal surgery, was invited by Bao Bo Insurance Company from the UK.

His speech had a summarizing tone, suggesting that the discussion was nearing its end.

“However, Dr. Milton, we have only concluded so far. The patient’s most pressing needs are, how can their spinal cord be saved?”

Dr. August from Germany was not satisfied with this inconclusive discussion.

“In the face of disease, medicine can sometimes be quite helpless. Be it trauma or ischemia, we are powerless when it comes to spinal cord injury. I hope the next Nobel laureate will be awarded for solving this problem.”

Dr. Milton shrugged. If anyone could solve this problem, they would surely earn the Nobel Prize.

“I suggest that the patient be transferred to our Juntendo Hospital for treatment. We may discover new problems.”

Kobayashi Takeshi, the expert invited by Fuji Insurance from Japan and the Professor and Department Director of the Department of Spinal Surgery at Juntendo University Hospital, believed that the patient still had hope. However, he temporarily couldn’t sort out his thoughts and suggested that the patient continue with the examinations.

Fuji Insurance, a newly growing Japanese insurance company, specializes in high-end medical insurance and has now also started penetrating the Southeast Asian market. It is Anning Insurance’s biggest competitor.

Because the insurance giants of Europe and America have always overlooked the Southeast Asian market, Japanese companies with a strong market offensive mentality react more sensitively than their European counterparts. They have taken a liking to the Southeast Asian market and wish to eat into it while the giants of Europe and America are not paying attention.

The representative of Fuji Insurance, Takashi Matsumoto, carried a black document bag in his hand and sat in the observer’s seat, his eyes sweeping over and briefly passing over Director Zhu’s face.

Director Zhu had a keen eye for details. He observed everyone’s actions within the venue. Of course, even the actions of Takashi Matsumoto could not escape his sight. However, he feigned ignorance.

At present, Yang Ping was no longer greatly moved by these top-level personalities. With the progress of his training in the system space, Yang Ping’s medical experience far exceeded that of ordinary people.

This novel experience in the system space reminded Yang Ping of a science fiction movie— “The Man from Earth.” The protagonist in it was an immortal who lived from primitive society to modern society. Yang Ping had a very similar feeling now.

However, Yang Ping still listened very earnestly to other people’s speeches because some things could not be learned in the system space. Everyone has their strengths, and even if a single sentence can be useful to him, the discussion would have been worthwhile.

“I apologize, but I have to catch a flight, so I may need to leave early. I’m sorry—”

Dr. Milton glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist and shrugged.

He felt there was no point in continuing the discussion.
