Chapter 1096 - 1058: Skeller's Suggestion
On Monday morning, Lin Jie arrived at the office of the Affiliated Hospital and saw Skeller, who was waiting there, accompanied by Zhou Ziyan."Good morning, Dr. Skeller!"
After exchanging pleasantries and hugging, Lin Jie asked, "Did you rest well last night?"
"I rested quite well, I'm completely refreshed now!"
Skeller pointed outside the window and chuckled lightly, "This clear, cloudless weather makes me feel even better, and fills me with anticipation for today."
She then looked at Zhou Ziyan and praised, "Last night's seminar was quite a surprise for me, Lin, your dozen or so students really impressed me."
"In time, they will definitely become distinguished doctors."
Lin Jie modestly replied, "Thank you for your recognition, they are still very immature and need further learning and training."
Skeller couldn't help but laugh, "Dr. Lin, as far as I know, they are all older than you, aren't they?"
Seeing Lin Jie looking embarrassed, Skeller laughed even more, "Dr. Lin, you really keep surprising me more and more."
"I didn't expect someone so young as you to have nurtured so many outstanding students."
By this time, Lin Jie had already donned a white coat, modestly saying, "Actually, I haven't given much instruction; it's mainly their strong foundation and their hard work."
"Dr. Skeller, shall we go to the ward?"
Skeller responded with a nod, happily saying, "I can't wait to witness research that could be recorded in the annals of medical history..."
Lin Jie and Zhou Ziyan took Skeller to Elenna's ward.
Elenna, who had communicated with Lin Jie before, was waiting in the ward, ready in advance.
Lin Jie introduced, "Elenna, this is Dr. Ariel Skeller, the chief editor from the UK's Lancet journal, whom I mentioned to you."
"Hello, Miss Elenna!"
After proactively hugging Elenna, Skeller politely said, "I am very honored to have your permission to delve deeply into your condition and detailed treatment process."
Elenna chuckled, "Dr. Skeller, I'm just hoping that Dr. Lin's experimental therapy can become more known and receive more support."
"That way, more patients like me will get help."
"Miss Elenna, please believe me, that is also my hope!"
Skeller turned her gaze to Lin Jie and eagerly said, "Dr. Lin, let's begin."
Lin Jie nodded and said to Zhou Ziyan, "Zhou Ziyan, you are also very familiar with Elenna's situation, please do the introduction!"
Zhou Ziyan acknowledged, took out a tablet, and started to explain in detail, "Dr. Skeller, Miss Elenna arrived at the Binhai University Affiliated Hospital on March 8th this year."
"At that time, her tumor was located in the fifth and sixth thoracic vertebral canal, with specific indications as..."
Skeller listened very attentively, occasionally taking notes, and often asked Zhou Ziyan to pause the explanation to inquire about some details and doubts from Lin Jie.
Lin Jie provided detailed answers to all of them.
With such comprehensive understanding, the time stretched from nine in the morning until almost twelve noon when Skeller finally had a comprehensive understanding of Elenna's condition and treatment process.
"This is the latest 3D simulation of Elenna's tumor!"
Lin Jie continued to introduce through the tablet's images, "Around mid-May, her residual tumor tissue will accumulate to a critical point, at which time, I will perform another surgery to remove it."
"After that surgery, Elenna's experimental therapy will be considered completed."
"Next, Elenna can return to Germany to receive regular drug control and recovery."
Skeller shifted her gaze from the tablet to Elenna, congratulating her, "Miss Elenna, all I can say is, you are truly fortunate to have encountered Lin Jie, one of the most innovative and outstanding doctors in the world."
"I think so too." Elenna was full of gratitude.
Skeller turned to Lin Jie and asked, "Dr. Lin, I know you have quite a few tumor trial patients, could I learn about their conditions?"
"Certainly."
Lin Jie nodded and said, "I have already informed and received permission in advance."
He reminded her, "However, Dr. Skeller, you are only allowed to ask questions related to the conditions, and before entering the sub-building, you need to undergo a security check."
"That's not a problem..."
Spending the entire afternoon, Skeller conducted a focused inquiry into the 46 patients in the sub-building.
When the visit to the sub-building ended, it was nearly six in the evening.
Lin Jie glanced at the twilight outside the window and said to the still energetic Skeller, "It's almost dinner time."
"Dr. Skeller, would you like to have Western food or try our local cuisine?"
Skeller smiled, "Since I'm in China, of course I want to try Chinese food. That braised pork and tomato egg dish I had for lunch was quite good."
"Dr. Lin, let's just have a casual dinner; I have some ideas I'd like to discuss with you."
Lin Jie gestured, saying, "There's also an office of mine upstairs."
"Mainly used by my students, we can talk while we eat there..."
Zhou Ziyan, Zhao Fang, and others arranged the dishes prepared by the military chef and then left, closing the office door behind them.
Skeller struggled a bit to taste the food on the table with chopsticks, and praised, "Delicious food, with rich ingredients and flavors, I like it very much."
After courteously complimenting once, she wiped her mouth with a napkin and said thoughtfully, "Dr. Lin, I noticed that your trial patients have diverse types, including gastrointestinal cancer, liver cancer, esophageal cancer, and lung cancer, etc."
"You could say that practically all organ tissues' solid tumors are covered."
"Dr. Lin, you have quite an ambition, trying to conquer all cancers with this experimental therapy, don't you?"
Skeller wondered, "But in doing so, the energy and time you invest will be exponentially increased, which is hard for me to understand."
"Why did you start with difficulties at hell-level rather than tackling a single tumor for breakthroughs first?"
Lin Jie sighed and explained, "Dr. Skeller, to be honest, accepting so many types of cancer patients at once was not my original intention."
He lamented, "I had originally planned to focus on a few types of cancers first."
"But there are some situations beyond my control."
Skeller could see that the patients in the sub-building and the military guards had very special statuses.
She did not continue with this question, instead saying, "I have another observation, if I may ask?"
"Dr. Lin, although your trial therapy has shown effects on solid tumors in organ tissues, it seems the results are not as significant as with Elenna's intraspinal tumor?"
Lin Jie nodded, saying, "Dr. Skeller, your observation is very sharp."
"Indeed, the experimental therapy shows better results with Elenna's tumor."
"I believe this is related to the characteristics of the tumor's organ tissue. The spinal cord and other media in the intraspinal area, being relatively soft, move more easily under the push and pull of the inducer and inhibitor."
"Based on this, it is speculated that brain tumors should also be more susceptible to this experimental therapy."
Skeller hesitated for a moment and said, "Dr. Lin, I have a suggestion I'd like to discuss with you."
"Please go ahead, Dr. Skeller!"
Skeller softly said, "Dr. Lin, in my opinion, your experimental therapy has already succeeded, and succeeded quite significantly, potentially causing a sensation in the global medical community."
"For a long time, the principle of cancer treatment by doctors around the world has been to control, destroy, and eliminate."
"However, Dr. Lin, you dared to use the method of induction, which others dared not think of."
"As you introduced, with an inducer pulling from one side and an inhibitor pushing from the other, just this treatment concept alone can trigger intense discussion in the medical community."
"Even more so, you have achieved verifiable therapeutic results."
Lin Jie asked, "Are you referring to Elenna's tumor?"
Skeller confidently replied, "Exactly Elenna's tumor."
"She is a living case that can be verified and withstand scrutiny."
Skeller excitedly stated, "Dr. Lin, I strongly suggest breaking down your experimental therapy and specifically highlighting the medical achievement of treating intraspinal tumors."
"I can confidently say that this alone is a Nobel-level research achievement."
