Surgery Godfather-Chapter 606 - 552: The Strong Support System

"Camel Girl" Yasmeen, accompanied by Dr. Feida, the director of Orthopedics at Zufar Capital Hospital, arrived in China.

Sanbo Hospital’s International Medical Department sent a car to pick them up from the airport and settled them in the Tri-Bo Hotel.

For international appointment patients, this kind of reception process is standard. Patients accepted by the International Medical Department often have very expensive medical costs. The appointment fee alone is 20,000 RMB. Providing services like airport pickup and hotel accommodation are chargeable items, which help to generate income for the hospital.

However, Yasmeen’s expenses were covered by Professor Yang’s Research Fund, as a gesture of gratitude towards Dean Aleph for his care of Dashun.

Dashun was treated entirely free of charge at Zufar Capital Hospital, with Dean Aleph going to great lengths to provide the best recovery conditions.

This reciprocation of kindness was only fitting.

After Yasmeen and Dr. Feida had rested at the hotel, a commissioner from the International Medical Department escorted them to the consultation room, arranging a meeting with Professor Yang.

Upon seeing an old acquaintance, Dr. Feida was delighted. He brought good news that Dashun was recovering very well. For now, there seemed to be no significant after-effects, and he had been doing morning exercises in the hospital garden, albeit light ones.

The brainstem after-effects that Professor Yang had been worried about had not yet manifested. It seemed that Dashun was pretty lucky.

Dr. Feida also brought a handwritten letter from Dean Aleph using the Arabic language, each sentence accompanied by a Chinese translation.

In the letter, Dean Aleph requested that Professor Yang accept doctors from Zufar Capital Hospital for further training. If allowed, he planned to have Dr. Feida be the first to come for Orthopedic training.

Dean Aleph was aware that Professor Yang’s chief expertise was Orthopedics.

Welcoming an additional ally was a good thing. Professor Yang agreed to Dean Aleph’s request. He told Dr. Feida to pass on the message to Dean Aleph that Sanbo Hospital was willing to accept the Omani training request, and a representative would be put in touch with their hospital.

If it’s only short-term observation, it’s no big deal. For formal training, Sanbo Hospital has specific Chinese language requirements for trainees.

The hospital’s medical service will liaise with Zufar Capital Hospital in Oman for these matters.

Upon hearing this news, Dr. Feida was extremely enthused.

The doctor from Oman had never been to China, with his knowledge of the country coming solely from the media. Hence, his arrival in China stirred great curiosity.

Oman, as a whole country, only has 6000 hospital beds. Upon seeing Sanbo Hospital, with more than 2,000 beds, he was astounded.

A single hospital had the medical capacity equating to half of his entire country. This sparked Dr. Feida’s intense interest in Chinese hospitals.

If he could receive training here, it would be a very fortunate opportunity.

However, Dr. Feida knew that language would be a major barrier. Still, he believed that he could be proficient.

He decided to spend some time getting acquainted with his surroundings before seeking ways to learn Chinese upon returning home.

The consulting room at Sanbo Hospital’s International Medical Department was very spacious and bright.

In order to prevent attracting curious looks, Yasmeen chose to sit in a wheelchair, with Dr. Feida pushing her.

With the help of an Arabic interpreter, Professor Yang had a lengthy and in-depth conversation with her and conducted a detailed physical examination.

Yasmeen told Professor Yang that if she could stand, she would leave the circus. Her dream was to own an ice cream truck, spending her days selling ice cream on the beach. Whenever she met a Chinese tourist, she would give out ice cream for free.

Song Zimo joked with her, "You’d have to limit the amount of free ice cream, there are so many Chinese tourists, more than you could imagine."

Yasmeen said that when she arrived, she saw so many people at the airport. She had never seen so many people or such a large airport in her life.

She asked Song Zimo, "Will there be as many tourists as there are people at the airport?"

Song Zimo nodded.

Yasmeen then compromised, deciding to limit the supply. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to earn enough to support herself.

Observing her determination, Professor Yang told her that she would have to wait five to seven days for surgery. A lot of work would need to be done before the operation. The artificial joint prosthesis used in the surgery was custom-made and one-of-a-kind in the world.

Yasmeen said this wasn’t a problem, she could go sightseeing around the hospital in the meantime.

Professor Yang didn’t expect Yasmeen to be so cheerful upon arriving in China, showing no fear or hesitation about the surgery.

After all, there was a possibility the surgery could fail. If it did, she would not only be unable to stand, but she would also be unable to perform in the circus.

Yasmeen had great confidence. She mentioned that when she arrived, she saw a bakery on the ground floor of the hotel. The owner gave her a piece of bread, which tasted very good.

The owner only had half of her body, yet ran the bakery cheerfully every day. This greatly inspired her.

She felt incredibly fortunate to still have a complete body, to have the chance to stand again.

The bakery Yasmeen mentioned is the one run by Yu Shuilian and her husband on the first floor of the Tri-Bo Hotel, where business is thriving. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

The bakery has become a hit in G City, and her inspiring story has motivated many people.

Many patients paralyzed due to external injuries are often brought to this bakery by their families to see how the shopkeeper lives her life with such tenacity.

Unbeknownst to her, Yu Shuilian has inspired many people, becoming a role model for many.

Yu Shuilian never tires of interacting patiently with these people, encouraging them, helping them build confidence, as if she has found the greatest value in her life.

With the help of the commissioner of the international medical department, Yasmeen was admitted for surgery and settled into her room at the Surgical Research Institute.

Song Zimo took Yasmeen to the Nandu Medical University Digital Medical Laboratory for data collection.

Ruixing Company plans to use these data to manufacture artificial joints suitable for Yasmeen using 3D printing technology.

After evaluations from the Digital Medical Laboratory, it was determined that Yasmeen’s lower limb muscle strength could bear her body weight, meaning she could commence upright walking in the early postoperative period.

Transitioning from crawling to upright walking isn’t as simple as one might imagine. Aside from the surgery itself, there are many other problems to address.

For instance, will there be insufficient blood supply to the head upon upright walking, and if so, how should corresponding adaptive rehabilitation training be undertaken?

Will the human balance organ adapt, and will there be symptoms such as dizziness?

Can the spine bear the body weight, can the intervertebral disc bear the weight, will there be complications of overloading the lumbar intervertebral disc leading to back pain in the future, among other issues?

Whether the organs in the chest and abdomen will not be able to hang properly due to the sudden standing, causing herniation?

These problems need to be analyzed, predicted, and solutions proposed.

With Fang Faquan’s lower limb modeling experience, this time, the modeling by the Digital Medical Laboratory will be faster and more complete.

The design of such a prosthesis is extremely complex and completely different from a regular universal prosthesis.

Centered around the three core issues of osteotomy, soft tissue balance, and prosthesis design, the computer simulates repeatedly.

The best prosthesis and osteotomy methods are designed to achieve optimal soft tissue balance after prosthesis placement.

Yang Ping provided the overall design framework. The fine details were left to the engineers at Ruixing. After taking on the task, Chief Engineer Chen Zhi was immersed in drafting designs in the laboratory every day.

After several iterations, Ruixing finally produced the prosthesis model.

The model was handed to Yang Ping who was very satisfied and immediately ordered production.

All parts of the artificial joint prosthesis were 3D printed and then assembled. They were sterilized before being used in surgery.

By the time it was returned to Yang Ping, it was a complete set ready for immediate use.

Custom prosthetics and powerful industrial capabilities astonished Director Feida. This was unimaginable in his own country.

Even if it is a bone tumor custom prosthesis, Director Feida often has to seek help from hospitals and equipment companies in Europe and America, which often takes several months.

Now, in just a few days, a sci-fi-like artificial prosthesis was delivered to the operating room.

Sanbo Hospital, the Digital Medical Laboratory, and Ruixing Company’s well-oiled system provided strong support for Yang Ping’s surgery.

For surgeries like this, Yang Ping could also use the system space simulation function, finding key data through trial and error, and make the operation very successful in the end.

But this isn’t what Yang Ping wanted, he wanted a surgical method that could be replicated in reality so it can be promoted.

Therefore, Yang Ping aimed to build a robust technological support system capable of completing complex surgeries even without the system, which is his pursuit.

This powerful support system is being built step by step.

Everything was ready and Yasmeen was prepared to go on the operating table.

She was very excited to see what she would look like standing up.

The doctors also looked forward to seeing the result.
