Chapter 1580: Chapter 1167: I Am Just a Patient’s Family mber_2
John Ansen said.
Morris was very happy to hear that John Ansen was coming to China, at least he would have a friend to consult with.

Song Zimo is very busy now, this surgery is too special, and he is personally responsible for all the preparations.
The doctors under him are also extrely busy, and the data collection for the conjoined twins has been completed, including genetic analysis data.
Much of this collected data is uploaded to Director He’s large model. With this sci-fi model, many things are much easier, and many surgical plan designs have beco more accurate.
For example, with an artificial knee replacent, once the patient’s standard CT 3D reconstruction data is uploaded, the model imdiately provides the best artificial knee design plan, transmits the plan to Ruixing dical, whose 3D printing flexible production line imdiately produces the artificial knee, completes the sterilization and packaging. Under normal circumstances, the patient can use this customized knee within 72 hours, and in urgent cases, they can have an artificial knee within 24 hours.
This is a completely personalized artificial knee, not a generic one. Such efficiency was unimaginable before.
In this surgery for the conjoined twins, if one wants to differentiate the boundary of the nervous system, a special project must be designed. It would take two or three years to yield results. Now, with the AI large model, as long as there’s enough data, results may appear in minutes, and they are even more precise than the results of a team researching for two or three years.
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker, a scientist from Washington University in the United States, and two other Google DeepMind founders: British scientist Demis Hassabis and U.S. scientist John Jumper.
On one hand, they used computing software to construct new protein structures. On the other hand, based on amino acid sequences, they developed an AI model nad “Alpha Fold 2,” which uses AI technology to predict complex protein structures.
In the world of proteins, amino acids link into long chains, folding into complex 3D structures, and it is precisely these complex and diverse structures that endow proteins with important functions.
Since the 1970s, biologists have been devoted to predicting protein structures based on amino acid sequences, which ans predicting their 3D structures from their 1D structures, though it’s a highly challenging research task.
The interactions between amino acids are complicated, leading to the formation of complex spatial shapes, making determining the precise 3D structure of the protein exceedingly difficult.
The release of the AI model “Alpha Fold 2” provides a powerful tool to solve this problem.
Previously, in protein structure research, a traditional team could find the structures of only a few new proteins over two to three years, but now, with AI thods, dozens of protein structures can be identified in a couple of hours. This is an example of how technological progress improves work efficiency.
Therefore, in the future, those who master AI will rule the world.
In the doctor’s office, there are two computers that can access the large model, making data transmission very convenient, and doctors can obtain help from the AI large model without leaving their offices.
While Song Zimo and his student were transmitting data, Morris watched from the side and curiously asked, “Is that all there is to it?”
As the patient’s family mber, Morris following Song Zimo made him feel a bit impatient. He didn’t want to have a family mber constantly around while working.
“You go back to the ward and wait. I’ll co find you if there’s anything,” Song Zimo told Morris.
Morris shook his head: “That’s okay, I have plenty of free ti. They are taken care of by my wife. I can sit here and watch you work.”
Morris followed Song Zimo for a simple purpose: he knew Song Zimo was Professor Yang’s student, and since he couldn’t disturb Professor Yang, following Song Zimo might allow him to learn sothing. He wanted to steal so knowledge about neurosurgery during this ti.
He stuck to Song Zimo like a shadow, following whenever possible. When Song Zimo sat in front of the computer, he would sit beside him; when Song Zimo transmitted data, he watched closely; when Song Zimo communicated with students, he would listen in.
It seems foreigners don’t understand the subtle language of the Chinese. Song Zimo switched to plain language: “Sorry, watching our work like this is very impolite. You are a doctor and probably hate having family watching you all the ti, as if monitoring your work, right?”
Foreigners indeed prefer direct language; Morris understood and blushed: “Sorry, Dr. Song, don’t get wrong. I just want to participate. I’m also a neurosurgeon.”
“But your identity is that of a patient’s family, not a mber of the dical team. You need to distinguish the boundaries between the two.”
Song Zimo was straightforward because only direct language is understood.
“Alright, I apologize.” Morris stood up, sowhat reluctantly leaving the doctor’s office. They were right, I am not a doctor, just a patient’s family mber.
The graduate student inputting data let out a sigh of relief; finally, this foreigner left. Having him around all the ti was really annoying.

John Ansen had already arranged his work and flew to Nandu Province, China.
He wanted to personally participate in the conjoined twins’ surgery. This is a rare case globally and a world-class surgery, where he could learn a lot.
This surgery is different from the past, demonstrating the chief surgeon and his team’s strong research spirit and ability to control unknown and uncertain factors.
The thod of finding the true boundary of the conjoined twins’ brain tissue can be applied to tumors, particularly brainstem tumors, helping the chief surgeon design a personalized precise safe approach and use this knowledge to determine the tumor’s exact boundary.
In Chinese, this is called technological penetration.
It’s not John Ansen’s first ti at Sanbo Hospital. He’s very familiar with the place. After settling at Sanbo Hotel, he didn’t rest and imdiately went to the institute’s ward, planning to first visit Professor Yang and then see the conjoined twins.
When he saw Yang Ping, he was very excited and hugged him tightly: “Honorable Professor Yang, I haven’t seen you, and I miss you day and night.”
John Ansen’s Chinese has greatly improved, leaving Morris, standing nearby, puzzled. He never knew John Ansen understood Chinese, and his fluency was surprising.
“Here is the dical temple of my heart I’ve told you about, my ntor, Professor Yang Ping. He has already told that your daughters’ surgery can be arranged. I’m here to see if I can help and learn sothing new. You should have t.”
“This is Mr. Morris, the patient’s family, my peer from the United States, and an excellent neurosurgeon.”
John Ansen introduced.
The praise of excellence made Morris sowhat embarrassed, as he couldn’t answer the questions raised by Professor Yang.
“Welco to join our dical team,” Song Zimo patted his shoulder.
“I’m just here to help out,” John Ansen modestly said, acknowledging that Song Zimo is his senior.
Morris couldn’t help but feel envious. No wonder he had progressed so quickly in the last year or two, making rapid advancents in brainstem surgery, frequently introducing new approaches.
Brainstem surgery is the Mount Everest of neurosurgery. Those who master better and safer approaches hold the keys to brainstem surgery, and clearly, John Ansen has mastered this key.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t help out; he’s just a patient’s family mber.
“I’ve collected all the previous checks done in the United States and brought them here. I hope they can help you,” John Ansen took out a CD.
This information is very useful, allowing a comparison with current examination results to dynamically grasp so changes, and when fed into the large model, they can make more precise judgnts.
