Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1165 - 1123: Grasping Life Amidst Death (Part 2)

Lin Jie has been paying attention to the price of ginseng lately.He asked, "Will the relevant state departments regulate the price of ginseng?"

Yu Hongji pondered and said, "Previously, the government certainly wouldn't intervene."

"The main use of ginseng is as a health supplement. It's not an essential for residents' lives, so even if the price rises, it won't affect their living standards."

"This time, because of the role of the inducer in the new tumor treatment method, some people have seized the opportunity to hype ginseng as a key anti-cancer miracle drug, which is why the price has skyrocketed."

"Expert Lin, since ginseng is an indispensable main ingredient of the inducer, maybe you can ask the drug administration, health and wellness committee, and other relevant departments to step in and stabilize the price of ginseng?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I won't make this request."

"Although the inducer is indispensable in the new tumor treatment method, there are only a limited number of doctors skilled in this treatment. Our ginseng reserves can last for one or two years."

"Let's revisit this in a year or two."

Yu Hongji chuckled lightly and said, "Since you're not impacted here, we're relieved."

"Expert Lin, Master Sun and I have several ginseng fields in the Northeast, and we have some reserves. If needed, just give us a call."

Lin Jie thanked him earnestly and then asked, "Mr. Zhou, Master Sun, Master Yu, has there been any progress in the development of the Chinese medicine inhibitor?"

Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "The difficulty is much greater than we imagined. We can only say there's been some initial progress. Expert Lin, rest assured, we will not give up on the development of this Chinese medicine inhibitor."

He gestured for Zhou Hongzhi to come closer and said, "Expert Lin, I've assigned my eldest to be in charge of the Jian'an Hall Chinese Medicine Clinic at Anlin Hospital."

"Previously, we were all operating independently, so this collaboration model is the first time for us."

"If the eldest does not perform well and does not listen to your management, you can punish him as you see fit. If he doesn't listen, just let me know."

Zhou Hongzhi looked aggrieved and said, "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. Why are you still using this parental approach?"

Mr. Zhou glared and said, "No matter how old you are, you're still my son. Can't I manage you?"

Zhou Hongzhi smartly kept his mouth shut and said no more.

Lin Jie chuckled lightly and said, "The hospital's location is remote, so the outpatient volume will be small."

"But now most of the patients admitted are cancer patients. We still need Jian'an Hall to provide targeted Chinese medicine therapy based on their physical condition."

Zhou Hongzhi softly said, "As of today, I've already checked the pulses of fifteen patients."

"Tomorrow, the Chinese Medicine Clinic staff will be fully equipped, and all tasks such as prescribing, acupuncture, bone setting, and preparing and administering medicine will begin normally…"

By around four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the visiting guests had left.

Lin Jie joined Qi Xingfen, Huo Guangheng, and Dr. Ross, a chief physician visiting from Massachusetts General Hospital for exchange training, and went together to the ultra-luxury ward on the top floor of the hospital.

Upon entering this extraordinarily luxurious ward for the first time, Ross was somewhat surprised.

Massachusetts General Hospital doesn't have such large and well-furnished rooms—it's on par with a presidential suite.

This led to a bit of disdain in his heart.

No matter how luxurious and upscale the ward is, what use is it? Healing the patient is always the priority.

Ross is a neurosurgeon, like Maxwell, at Massachusetts General Hospital.

However, Maxwell has his own fixed medical team and his own office and patient practice area, so they usually don't interact much.

Ross had great respect for Lin Jie, who had previously competed with Maxwell and was highly praised by him.

Lin Jie has proved himself with a series of high-risk surgeries and sensational research results.

However, Ross was skeptical about the chief's treatment!

The chief's brain tumor had been discussed in a consultation by all the neurosurgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital.

The conclusion was that there was no effective method, and they eventually had to give up.

So when he learned that the chief had also been transferred to Anlin Hospital, he immediately contacted Qi Xingfen, who was overseeing the chief's condition, hoping to participate in the chief's treatment.

Seeing Lin Jie and the others, Abu Halik gestured slightly, and someone came over to carefully adjust the bed for him, allowing him to sit comfortably.

He exhaled and softly said, "Expert Lin, seeing your arrival makes me both nervous and anxious, afraid you'll give the same answer as others."

Lin Jie straightforwardly said, "Chief, I can tell you first that my answer is somewhat different from theirs."

"However, this may be a worse answer."

Abu Halik's eyes lit up, and he spoke a bit eagerly, "Does this mean I still have hope?"

"There is hope, but not much!" Lin Jie said truthfully!

He took a few deep breaths and said, "Expert Lin, you've indeed given me a surprise. I understand that with my condition, there can't be a foolproof treatment plan."

Abu Halik clenched the blanket covering him with both hands and said seriously, "Expert Lin, go ahead, I'm ready."

Under the gaze of several people, Lin Jie began to outline his surgical plan.

Inject an expander at a specific location in the brain, use the artificial tumor to force the tumor to shift, and then surgically remove the tumor that has been relocated to a suitable position.

Standing beside Lin Jie, Ross listened intently while rapidly simulating the scenario in his mind.

As the chief physician of a top international hospital, Ross's level is naturally high, and he quickly realized something.

This method is actually feasible.

Although this treatment plan is fraught with difficulties and numerous unforeseeable risk factors, and demands an exceptionally high standard from the lead surgeon, theoretically, this plan is indeed feasible.

At that moment, he finally understood why Maxwell had such high praise for Lin Jie.

This guy not only has extraordinary ability and superb skills but also a mind full of imaginative ideas.

No matter how difficult the problem, he seems to find a way to solve it.

At this moment, Ross felt extremely fortunate that he had humbled himself to secure the opportunity to come to Anlin Hospital to study and train.

The chance to be involved in this surgery alone made it worthwhile.

Moreover, the idea of using an expander to shift brain tumors seems to have several applications.

As Ross pondered, Lin Jie openly explained the various possible complications during the treatment process.

After listening, Abu Halik slowly said, "If the implanted expander triggers cerebral hernia, cerebral hemorrhage, or infection during expansion, I could die!"

"During the expansion, any unpredictable brain injury could result in my death."

"If the tumor doesn't relocate to an ideal position, I might die."

"Even if the tumor does relocate ideally, there's a chance I won't survive the operating table due to the difficulty of the surgery."

Despite mentioning so many potential deaths, a smile gradually appeared on Abu Halik's face, and he said, "Among so many possible deaths, I know there is still a path that could let me live."

"Expert Lin, for someone like me who will certainly die if I don't undergo the surgery, I will naturally not pass up this chance of survival from the jaws of death."

"Expert Lin, I will proceed with the surgery!"

Lin Jie wasn't particularly surprised by his choice.

He softly asked, "Chief, how much time do you need to handle your personal affairs in case of unexpected events?"

Abu Halik shook his head and said, "I've already prepared everything long ago."

"Expert Lin, I can undergo the surgery at any time."

After contemplating for a moment, Lin Jie said, "Alright, let's schedule the surgery for three days later."
