Chapter 1088 - 1050: By One Man's Power
Lin Jie's graduate thesis was completed last Sunday.He used Fang Huanru's conclusion report on appendix transplantation research as a blueprint and reorganized it according to his own ideas, totaling over 80,000 words.
When Lin Jie emailed his thesis to Chen Shi, he mentioned hoping to conduct the thesis defense soon to put his mind at ease.
Chen Shi responded quite quickly, replying to Lin Jie by Tuesday.
The defense was scheduled for 9 a.m. on Thursday, in the conference room on the fifth floor of the Medical College building.
When Lin Jie, accompanied by Jian Jia and Qin Gang, walked into the conference room, he discovered that this nearly hundred-square-meter room was already packed with people.
As he entered, everyone stood up and greeted in unison, "Good morning, Expert Lin!"
"Hello, everyone! Hello, everyone!" Lin Jie quickly responded politely.
Chen Shi chuckled and said, "Looking at how we all rose to greet you, it seems Lin Jie isn't coming nervously for a thesis defense, but rather like a superior inspecting work."
"I think so too!"
The main defense teacher, Ren Maoshi, exaggeratedly wiped his forehead and mimicked a sweating motion, jokingly saying, "I'm feeling a lot of pressure now."
"As Lin Jie's thesis defense teacher, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I can't ask the right questions and get stumped instead?"
At this moment, a professor next to him shouted, "Professor Ren, I don't mind being embarrassed. If you want to give up your spot, it's still not too late."
"Get out of here! I shamelessly snagged this spot. Why should I give it to you?"
Amid the laughter, everyone took their seats.
Lin Jie also seized the opportunity to sit at the defense table while quickly scanning everyone in the conference room.
The three defense teachers were familiar faces: Professors Ren Maoshi, Sun Yuze, and Gu Hongkuang.
They were also present at the special admission review defense meeting about two years ago.
Meeting them again in such a defense setting felt like a cycle to Lin Jie, making him nostalgic as time had changed people and things.
Lin Jie also saw Dean Yuan Guangxi and thirty to forty familiar or recognizable professors and lecturers from the Medical College.
He also noticed an unexpected figure, Xiang Rong, the editor-in-chief of "Clinical Medicine."
Lin Jie didn't expect him to join in the fun as well.
As for the other people in the conference room, they were likely PhD and master's students from the Medical College.
However, Lin Jie's dozen or so students, who were required to stay at their posts in the annex, didn't make it.
Chen Shi cleared his throat, and once the room settled down, said, "Everyone's here. Let's start the thesis defense!"
Ren Maoshi exchanged glances with Sun Yuze and Gu Hongkuang before speaking up, "Alright, let's begin Lin Jie… student's master's thesis defense!"
While speaking, he raised a thick, bound version of the thesis in front of him and said, "Lin Jie's thesis has conducted an in-depth study on the ingenious use of autologous appendix transplantation."
"Upon receiving this thesis, I read it overnight and couldn't help but admire it."
"In my opinion, the research results recorded in this thesis are more than sufficient to receive provincial, ministerial, or even national achievement awards."
"Therefore, Lin Jie's master's thesis gets a full score from me."
"I believe there is no need for the defense process at all."
"I also give it a full score!" Sun Yuze echoed.
Gu Hongkuang also chimed in, "I'm giving a full score as well."
Lin Jie had long realized that this graduate thesis defense was merely a formality.
He just hadn't anticipated that this formality would be so simple.
However, this suited him perfectly, saving quite a bit of time.
Amidst congratulatory applause, Lin Jie stood up, preparing to deliver a heartfelt thank-you speech.
"Wait a moment, wait a moment! Quiet down! Quiet down!"
Ren Maoshi also stood up, halting the applause.
Once the room quieted down a bit, he loudly declared, "Even though the defense process is over, the Q&A session hasn't been canceled."
"We can't have gathered here in vain. Lin Jie should showcase his talents, shouldn't he?"
As he spoke, he grinned at Lin Jie, pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Expert Lin, I have a few questions that have been perplexing me."
"Today is a rare opportunity, and I'd like to take this chance to seek your guidance."
Sun Yuze also retrieved a notebook from somewhere, opened it, and laughed, "Expert Lin, I also have a few questions. Please enlighten me."
"I have some doubts too!"
Seeing Gu Hongkuang also flip open a small notebook, Lin Jie felt quite frustrated.
Clearly, these guys had come prepared, intending to challenge him with some questions.
He said helplessly, "Professor Ren, Professor Sun, Professor Gu, I usually don't decline academic exchanges, but does it have to be today?"
"We can certainly arrange another time."
"Professor Chen..."
Lin Jie was about to seek help from Chen Shi, but saw him also take out a notebook.
Chen Shi smiled softly at Lin Jie and said, "Lin Jie, we know you surely reserved time for today's defense meeting."
"Since you have already passed the dissertation defense, naturally, this time now belongs to us."
"It's not too much to take this opportunity to ask a few questions, is it?"
Seeing Chen Shi express himself this way, Lin Jie had no choice but to sit down again and say, "Alright, but don't say consulting, let's explore together."
"Before we start exploring questions, let me take this opportunity to mention something."
After pausing and attracting everyone's attention, Lin Jie continued: "I'm preparing to establish a medical salon, holding seminars, discussions, and lectures regularly or irregularly."
"The focus will be on current hot topics in medicine, discussing and refining innovative ideas together, and medical challenges that individuals find difficult to solve can also be brought up for discussion."
"In short, this medical salon will not limit the themes, as long as it is related to medicine, it will be an open and free academic discussion activity."
Seeing everyone was listening, Lin Jie continued, "The purpose of this medical salon is to promote communication among medical researchers and avoid working in isolation."
"In the process of exchange, discussion, and collision, we discover problems, gain inspiration, and achieve improvement."
Lin Jie's words immediately sparked a buzz of soft discussion.
Ren Maoshi loudly praised, "Very good, I fully support this medical salon."
"Expert Lin, are there requirements or restrictions for participants in this medical salon?"
Lin Jie nodded and said, "Naturally, there are some basic principles; one can't be stingy. To gain, one must first contribute."
"What I want is a selfless sharing atmosphere for medical discussion."
"Of course, there will be specific rules and requirements that will be perfected during the establishment process."
Sun Yuze slowly said, "Since entering the Medical College, everything Expert Lin has done and said both at our college and the Affiliated Hospital is evident to all."
"It can be said that this medical salon is a continuation and extension of the spirit that Expert Lin practices himself."
"I am certain that this medical salon will surely become a sacred place in Binhai City's medical community."
"Expert Lin, I am very much looking forward to the establishment of this medical salon."
Lin Jie said somewhat humbly, "Professor Sun, your praise for this medical salon is too much."
"How far it can develop depends mainly on the efforts and contributions of the participants, not me."
At this point, Lin Jie waved his hand to stop the discussions of others in the meeting room, saying, "Let's talk about the medical salon matter after it gets established, everyone can participate and give suggestions."
"Now, let's first start discussing the questions..."
"I'll go first!"
Ren Maoshi unhesitatingly said, "Actually, today's discussion may be considered a medical salon meeting."
"The first question I want to address is that there are many causes of sinus arrhythmia, one of which is autonomic nervous dysfunction."
"In delving deeper into this aspect, I discovered a problem..."
It must be said that these old folks truly have some core issues they've kept in reserve.
Fortunately, Lin Jie wisely changed their "consultation" into "discussion," otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.
The questions raised by the three professors and Chen Shi were all of top difficulty.
Some questions Lin Jie could barely answer, but for several questions, he didn't have a clear answer and could only describe what he knew and understood in detail.
In this way, this question-and-answer session really became a discussion.
Besides Lin Jie and Professors Ren, Sun, Gu, and Chen, other professors who were observing also gradually joined the discussion.
The entire meeting room turned into a lively academic debate meeting.
Unable to get a word in, Yuan Guangxi gave his seat to a professor and retreated to a corner of the meeting room with Xiang Rong.
The two watched as Lin Jie was almost simultaneously conversing with seven or eight people.
From time to time, he would reply with a sentence or two, either causing the other party to ponder deeply or leading to a long-winded rebuttal.
This scene made Xiang Rong restrain himself from praising, "Expert Lin is truly an extraordinary person, you can't help but admire him!"
Yuan Guangxi genuinely admired, "Expert Lin is more than just extraordinary."
"Through selfless teaching and guidance, he has cultivated students with his spirit and medical skills, and he influences numerous doctor colleagues with whom he works."
"Now, he wants to use this medical salon to influence the level of expert scholars engaged in medical research."
"As we can see, Expert Lin is silently impacting and changing you, me, and everyone!"
"I am now completely convinced that Expert Lin, with his own efforts, can surely change the current situation of our country's medical community."
"It is even possible to change the world's medical community..."
