Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1181 - 1139: Breaking Records

Near eleven o'clock in the morning, Lin Jie came out of the Disabled Veterans Rehabilitation Center and saw Fang Jianbin, dressed in brand-new summer military uniform, with his colonel insignia restored."Expert Lin..."

Fang Jianbin spoke first to explain: "This morning, I received a military summons and have been re-enlisted."

"I've been reinstated to my original rank and have officially taken up the position of military representative for the collaboration between the military and Anlin Hospital, responsible for managing military medical personnel and coordinating between the military and Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie responded lightly and asked, "Have President An and Dean Gong been informed about this?"

Fang Jianbin nodded and said, "I have already spoken with President An and Dean Gong."

"Expert Lin, please forgive me for not informing you in advance. I only received the call last night and was informed about it..."

Lin Jie waved his hand and said, "It's okay, and there's no need to apologize. You haven't left Anlin Hospital; you're just continuing your work here under a different identity."

"I'm glad it's you. This way, there's no need for a lot of adjustment in the job."

At this point, Lin Jie thought of something and chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, according to the agreement, the salaries of the doctors, nurses, and other medical staff dispatched by the military are to be covered by Anlin Hospital."

"Only the salaries of a few military representatives are issued by the military, right?"

Fang Jianbin made a sound of agreement, saying, "To avoid conflicts of interest, the salaries and benefits for me and the people in the military representative office are all issued by the military."

"Also, that apartment is considered rented by Yuan Li and me from Anlin Hospital."

Lin Jie laughed heartily and said, "Not having to pay you a salary or for the apartment, yet still working for Anlin Hospital, is a pretty good deal for us, isn't it..."

Watching Lin Jie walk away, Fang Jianbin was a bit puzzled.

He felt that Lin Jie seemed genuinely happy about not having to pay his salary and benefits, which was a bit peculiar in Lin Jie's thinking, as his focus was different from others.

Perhaps this is the unique world of geniuses?

Lin Jie went directly to Chief Abu Halik's ward.

Getting in and out of his ward wasn't easy.

Lin Jie needed to change into a one-piece dustproof and germ-proof isolation suit similar to a hazmat suit, and then go through a 360-degree dust-blowing and sterilization process in the isolation room before entering the sterile ward through the sealed isolation door.

Seeing Abu Halik looking even more haggard and weak, Lin Jie asked, "Chief, is there any new discomfort with your body?"

Abu Halik forced a smile and said, "Still the same, head swelling, headache, one side of the body numb, poor appetite! But seeing you, my headache seems to worsen a bit more."

Lin Jie smiled gently and said, "Good attitude, keep it up!"

He checked Abu Halik's real-time physical monitoring data and examined the continuous monitoring data from the past twelve hours, and realizing there wasn't anything that required particular attention, he started to apply pressure and inject water into the three dilators in Abu Halik's cranial brain again.

This process was conducted by Lin Jie with extreme caution and slowness, his eyes constantly glued to the dynamic data on the monitor screen and Abu Halik's subtle facial expressions.

About ten minutes later, he finished this instance of water-injection dilation.

Seeing Lin Jie stopped, Abu Halik slowly exhaled, saying, "Expert Lin, looks like I've made it through another hurdle today, which means I'm one step closer to final victory!"

Lin Jie nodded and said, "You could say that. Your tumor is moving towards the predicted position due to external force, though the speed is rather slow."

"Perhaps one day, this movement speed will suddenly accelerate."

Abu Halik prayed, "May Allah bless, may that day arrive quickly..."

Lin Jie chatted idly with Abu Halik in the ward for over half an hour, and seeing his physiological values fluctuating within acceptable ranges, he left the ward.

Afterward, Lin Jie rushed to the restaurant's private room to meet Ariel Skeller, who was already waiting there.

He hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, as the host inviting you, I'm late compared to the guest."

Skeller, unconcerned, said, "It's alright, as a renowned doctor worldwide, I can understand your busyness."

She then complimented, "Dr. Lin, from yesterday to now, I've witnessed a vibrant and positive hospital. Given time, Anlin Hospital will undoubtedly become a world-renowned medical center like the Mayo Clinic."

"Thank you, Dr. Skeller, what you said is exactly our goal to strive towards."

Lin Jie politely responded, picking up the menu, and asked, "Dr. Skeller, would you prefer Western cuisine or Chinese cuisine?"

Skeller lightly laughed and said, "Since I'm in China, naturally, let's have Chinese cuisine. Dr. Lin, you can choose the dishes."

Lin Jie nodded and ordered a few Chinese dishes according to his taste, suitable for foreigners.

Skeller raised her glass and took a sip of ice water, then spoke, "A week ago, I attended an international medical symposium in Geneva, Switzerland."

"At this symposium, Dr. Lin, your name and your research achievements were prominently mentioned by at least ten keynote speakers. Even though you did not participate in that international symposium, you were the most sought-after medical expert there."

Lin Jie's research achievements have been globally recognized, and he has received countless invitations from medical organizations and institutions worldwide for meetings, lectures, seminars, and the like.

He declined all of them.

Firstly, he's genuinely busy and doesn't have time to attend; secondly, he's worried about the overwhelming disaster aura he carries, and the possibility of unforeseen accidents.

Skeller continued: "Dr. Lin, let me share another piece of news with you."

"Dr. Osmond from the United States and Dr. Wilfred from France, these two initially popular candidates for next year's Nobel Prize in Physiology have become much quieter lately."

"Reliable information I've received indicates that both have adjusted their plan to hold academic lectures at a dozen renowned Medical Colleges worldwide, originally set for the latter half of the year, to next year."

Lin Jie was slightly taken aback but immediately understood, saying: "Are they—?"

Skeller confirmed, "Yes, exactly as you think. They acknowledge that their achievements in medical research are far inferior to yours, and are focusing their efforts on next year's Nobel Prize."

"In Chinese, you might call this..."

She thought for a moment, then said in broken Chinese: "Winning without fighting!"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Dr. Skeller, you seem to know quite a bit about our traditional culture!"

"A bit, a bit!"

Skeller smiled proudly and then exclaimed, "The new tumor induction therapy and the Lin Jie micro-electrical current value are two medical discoveries of great clinical application value, which could benefit tens of millions, billions of patients."

"Either of these alone could qualify for a Nobel Prize, let alone both."

"With these two medical breakthroughs, Expert Lin, your age factor is not a weakness but rather an added advantage."

Lin Jie looked somewhat puzzled at Skeller, who excitedly reminded him: "Dr. Lin, the record!"

"Winning the Nobel Prize at your age will break the record for the youngest Nobel Prize winner in science."

"Previously, the record was held by Lawrence Bragg, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in science, who in 1915, at just twenty-five, won the Nobel Prize in Physics together with his father."

"Besides him, no other Nobel Prize winner in science has been below thirty years old."

"And Dr. Lin, you will break this record with unequivocal achievements at the age of twenty-three."

Skeller laughed and said, "The members of the Nobel Prize committee are very pleased to have a record-breaking winner during their tenure; it is indeed an honor."

Lin Jie humbly said, "It's not certain until the final result; can't be too happy too early."

Skeller was very optimistic, saying: "In my view, this is an established fact."

"Dr. Lin, don't be too conservative; even if you do nothing from now, the Nobel Prize is certainly yours."

Skeller further asked, "I know, Dr. Lin, you can't sit idle. Could you share any plans or goals you have for the next step?"

Lin Jie casually responded: "I don't have any special plans."

"Just continuing with the clinical trials of the new tumor therapy and developing Anlin Hospital well, nothing new..."

He thought of something and said, "Speaking of new plans, I've applied for organ transplantation trials from cancer patients and am awaiting approval from the relevant authorities."

"Organ transplantation from cancer patients?"

As Skeller heard this, she understood and nodded, saying: "With your new tumor therapy, cancer, to some extent, can be effectively controlled."

"Transplanting their organs no longer seems like... seems like..."

She suddenly came out with a Chinese phrase: "Drinking poison to quench thirst!"

"Dr. Lin, did I use this Chinese phrase correctly? I've made efforts to learn quite a lot of Chinese knowledge lately."

Lin Jie praised her: "You used it correctly; that Chinese phrase is particularly apt here."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

With her joy subdued, Skeller seriously said, "Dr. Lin, I believe your research has significant meaning. There is a huge gap between the supply and demand of human organs worldwide."

"This has led to substantial black-market trading activities."

"Especially in some chaotic countries and regions, illegal underground trading of human organs is a major financial source for some gang organizations."

"According to our incomplete statistics, the death toll from underground organ trading reaches tens of thousands annually worldwide."

"If the intact organs of cancer patients could be transplanted, it could, to a certain extent, alleviate the severe shortage of human organ donors..."
