Chapter 1592: Chapter 1173: What Kind of Person Is This?
“Dr. John, I am Dr. John from the Mayo Clinic in the United States.” John Ansen prompted.
Yu Shuilian rembered now. He had indeed been here a few tis, but not frequently, unlike Robert and the others who visited often and were quite familiar.
“Dr. John, is it you?” Yu Shuilian finally recognized him.
The surnas of these foreigners are quite long, so the people at Sanbo Hospital like to use the first syllable of their surna’s transliteration to address them, thus forcefully adapting them to the Chinese habit of calling them Dr. Soone.
For instance, Robert is Dr. Luo, August is Dr. Ao, and this John Ansen is simply shortened to Dr. John, which sounds strange and unpleasant at first, but over ti, one naturally becos accustod to it.
“Yes, you’ve rembered, haven’t you?”
“I rember now.”
Yu Shuilian imdiately shook hands with John Ansen.
“This is my friend, Dr. Morris.” John Ansen introduced.
“Is he also here for training?” Yu Shuilian asked enthusiastically.
John Ansen shook his head: “No, his daughter is here for surgery with Professor Yang.”
Upon hearing about the surgery, Yu Shuilian beca interested and imdiately said: “You’ve co to the right place, Professor Yang is the world’s best doctor.”
John Ansen translated for Morris.
The two ordered bread and milk tea, chatting while eating and sitting in the shop for a while.
After leaving the shop, John Ansen led Morris to the teaching room of the research institute’s ward, where there were many surgical videos. With the administrator’s permission, they watched the video of the surgery Yang Ping perford on Yu Shuilian at the ti, giving him a glimpse of how a genius surgeon operates.
After watching it, Morris once doubted if the video was fast-forwarded, but upon confirming that the video was played normally, he was shocked again, even more than during the laboratory visit. That was basic dicine; now it was the surgical field Morris was most familiar with.
The chief surgeon in the video demonstrated surgical skills so transcendent that Morris admitted he could never reach such a high level of surgical excellence.
After careful consideration, Morris finally signed the inford consent for the surgery, formally scheduling his daughter’s procedure.
Ruixing began producing custom spine internal fixation devices and “growable” titanium plates, which were necessary implants for the surgery. The skin and muscle cultures from the Stem Cell Laboratory also t the surgical requirents, and everything was ready for the surgery to be scheduled.

Sohow, this news leaked to a certain U.S. dia outlet, causing an uproar.
The fact that the daughter of a renowned Arican doctor needed surgery in China suggested that Chinese doctors were more skilled than Arican ones, which hurt the pride of many Arican doctors. They believed there must be an ulterior motive behind the matter.
Many of Morris’s friends, especially those involved in the discussion of his daughter’s treatnt plan, called Morris for verification. Morris confird this and even explained the specific surgical plan to them.
They exclaid: “How is this possible? This must be an experintal surgery without any certainty, a crazy surgical showcase.”
“Morris, this is impossible. Please use your common sense to judge; the probability of successfully separating the head is minuscule, which makes the surgery impractical.”
“Your daughter will beco a sacrificial lamb in an experint, and they are exaggerating.”
“In the United States, this surgery can’t even be done, and yet China can do it?”
“This is truly ridiculous. We currently cannot separate the intertwined brainstem; how can he manage to do it?”
“You should be cautious; surely there’s sothing wrong here.”
This was the reaction of most people, even though Yang Ping had won the Nobel Prize, they still believed his achievents were in the basic dical field, and it was preposterous for a basic dical scholar to perform surgery, especially such an impossible operation.
However, when they searched for Yang Ping’s papers, they found that he had not only published basic dicine papers but also orthopedic clinical dicine papers, indicating he truly was a surgeon capable of operating. But being an orthopedic surgeon, how could he perform such a surgery? Even if he could, he could only separate the spine, right?
But there were also a few doctors familiar with Yang Ping who were excited, believing Professor Yang was about to create another miracle, especially those doctors involved in the NASA ergency space rescue, who knew well of Yang Ping’s genius surgical abilities.
For example, Massimo, the interventional master from Johns Hopkins Hospital, still frequently recalls the scene of Yang Ping using remote surgical equipnt to operate on NASA’s astronauts.
Johns Hopkins Hospital was holding a hospital-wide consultation eting.
Not everyone had arrived yet, and soone started discussing current hot topics in the dical world.
“It’s a joke that this Chinese doctor dares to perform such surgery; is he capable? I’ve heard this doctor also won a Nobel Prize for genetic research achievents.”
”Is he a surgeon or a geneticist? Or perhaps a stem cell scientist? I haven’t figured it out yet.”
“They always like to engage in such super projects to flaunt their prowess; does it make sense? I participated in the surgical evaluation of these sisters; objectively speaking, the surgery is impossible as current surgical technology does not reach this level. For instance, how can the intertwined brainstem and spinal cord be separated? Current anatomical knowledge cannot discern the allocation of these mixed nerve nuclei; even a single mistake would cause both to cease breathing and heartbeat during the surgery. I find this affair ridiculous, more like an academic showcase.”
“Is it a New York doctor’s daughter? He himself is a neurosurgeon, how could he naively trust others and use his daughter for experints.”
“But the chief surgeon is Professor Yang, a Nobel Prize winner; he must have his approach.”
“He won the Nobel Prize in genetics or stem cell fields, not clinical dicine; surgery isn’t his specialty, which has nothing to do with winning any award.”
“Hard to say, Germany’s Manstein excelled across multiple disciplines, reaching the pinnacle of each.”
“Manstein? How many such people are there? There’s only been one in the whole world so far.”
“Heard many doctors have called the New York doctor, requesting a live broadcast of the surgery; we can watch the show then.”
The eting room was buzzing with discussion, unable to help but talk due to the significant impact of this matter.
”Everyone! Seems like there are nurous opinions regarding the surgery on the conjoined twins?” Massimo tapped the desktop.
Massimo was a master in interventional dicine, holding a high position in the hospital. So upon hearing him speak, everyone paused their discussions and shifted their focus, eager to hear his views.
“If the surgery will be broadcasted live, I suggest you find ti to watch it; it will benefit you for life.” Massimo didn’t want to comnt further. This bunch was rely expressing ignorant opinions within their narrow circles.
“Excuse , Dr. Massimo, what do you an?” Soone didn’t understand Massimo’s aning.
Massimo said indifferently: “The chief surgeon is Professor Yang Ping from China. I am more familiar with him than anyone else here. He is a clinical doctor, and as far as I know, his main profession is orthopedic surgery. The Nobel Prize-winning achievents are only incidental results from his spare ti efforts, not his primary occupation.”
Everyone exclaid imdiately: “Do you an—that his Nobel-winning results were achieved in his spare ti?”
“Yes, that’s correct. He is an even more versatile player than Manstein, covering basic and clinical dicine across various disciplines. He just doesn’t like publishing papers in English. Of course, regardless of his preferences, he still reluctantly published over ten papers in English in the journals Nature, Science, and Cell.” Massimo spoke plainly, but his words were clear.
“Over ten papers?” Everyone exclaid again.
“He occasionally performs interventional surgeries, just occasionally, but his interventional surgery skills surpass mine. I have personally witnessed him operate.” Massimo finally stated.
Surpassing Massimo’s level? What level is that? Isn’t Massimo’s level world-class?
Moreover, he only occasionally performs interventional surgeries yet exceeds Massimo’s level, and his part-ti achievents won a Nobel Prize; what kind of person is this?
“Ti’s up, let’s begin our hospital-wide consultation.”
Massimo checked the ti and ended the discussion.
