On Monday, Lin Jie came to school for class as usual.

He found that the number of students coming to the small auditorium had more than doubled.

The seats in the aisle were all taken, and many people were even standing at the door and in the hallway.

Lin Jie put on the microphone, glanced around, and said, "I guess many of you are here out of curiosity, just wanting to see me in person to judge whether I'm real or not?"

The small auditorium erupted in light laughter.

Lin Jie continued, "Now that you've seen me."

"Like you, I also have a nose and a pair of eyes. Other than being slightly better looking, there's nothing special about me."

Amid the chuckles, Lin Jie raised his voice, "The lectures I give are quite dry, and without a substantial background in medical knowledge, they're absolutely incomprehensible."

"So, I ask the non-medical students to leave the auditorium, and give the seats to classmates who need to attend the lecture. Thank you!"

Following his words, a hundred or two people stood up noisily in the auditorium.

Someone shouted loudly, "Dr. Lin, we're here to support you! Good luck with the surgery tomorrow night!!"

"We believe in you! Dr. Lin, you're an unparalleled genius!!"

"We're rooting for you!! The medical honor of our country depends on you!"

As they shouted "support," they left the small auditorium!

Some left while others entered.

A few minutes later, although the aisles were still filled with people, no one was blocking the doorway anymore.

Lin Jie also started today's lecture.

At noon, twelve o'clock, the lecture ended, Lin Jie quickly grabbed a bite to eat and hurried to the Affiliated Hospital.

He first went to the orthopedics ward and entered Tang You's room.

There, he saw Tang You with a thick cast below her left knee, biting her lip and frowning while watching TV.

Seeing Lin Jie enter, Tang You hurriedly turned off the TV with the remote, slightly lifting her upper body and said, "Hello, Dr. Lin!"

Seeing the fine sweat on her forehead, Lin Jie knew she was in pain and advised, "If it hurts a lot and is unbearable, ask the attending doctor for more pain relief."

Tang You nodded slightly, forcing a small smile, and said, "The pain is lighter than it was a couple of days ago, I can endure it."

Noticing she was alone in the room, Lin Jie frowned and asked, "Where's your aunt? Who's taking care of you now?"

Tang You quickly explained, "My aunt has been with me these past few days."

"Other than being bedridden, I can mostly take care of myself now, and I don't need anything else at the moment, so my aunt went home to shower and change clothes."

At this moment, Lei Jun hurried into the room and handed Lin Jie a tablet.

Lin Jie accessed Tang You's health check data on the tablet, focusing on her hourly temperature data and her blood test results every two hours.

Tang You's temperature was in a state of low fever on the first day after surgery.

By the morning of the second day, her temperature had dropped and remained slightly above normal levels.

This temperature fluctuation is within the normal range.

Postoperative low fever is the body's normal natural immune response, as long as it doesn't exceed thirty-eight degrees.

This low-grade fever should subside by the second day.

If there's a continuous low fever for a few days post-op or if there was no fever initially but then a fever appears, it needs attention and further detailed examination should be conducted.

Lin Jie further examined Tang You's blood test data.

He found the white blood cells and other indicators fluctuating within acceptable levels, and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Now on the third day after the operation, Tang You's body has considerably recovered compared to the first day post-op.

Since there are no signs of infection so far, the chances of infection occurring later are quite small.

Lin Jie updated the medical instructions, "Take temperature readings every two hours, and blood tests every twelve hours!"

Lei Jun assured, "Expert Lin, I'll keep an eye on things here, so you can focus on preparing for tomorrow's surgery."

Lin Jie did not stand on ceremony, thanked Lei Jun for his hard work, and prepared to leave the ward.

"Dr. Lin, all the best!"

Lin Jie turned back to see Tang You blushing, shaking a small fist in encouragement.

He nodded and said, "Thank you! You should also take care!"

"Endure the pain for these days, and bear through a few months of hardship, and you will have the chance to live a normal life, being able to run and jump again…"

Lin Jie left the orthopedics ward and headed to the neurosurgery ward.

Accompanied by the duty nurse, he entered old Herbert's private room.

This time, Lin Jie only saw Lili but not little Herbert or the assistant, Maxwell.

Lili's outfit today was relatively conventional, wearing fitted jeans and a tight knit top with a deep V-neck that slightly revealed her neckline.

She asked expectantly, "Dr. Lin, what are the chances of my husband waking up after the surgery tomorrow?"

"If the surgery goes smoothly, Mr. Herbert should regain consciousness within three to four hours post-operation."

Lin Jie further explained, "But this is just a high probability; I cannot guarantee that he will definitely regain consciousness."

"The mysteries of the brain, even now, have not been fully explored by us."

Lili hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Dr. Lin, what is the worst-case scenario for my husband?"

"Remaining in a coma, becoming like a vegetative existence!"

After performing a simple examination on old Mr. Herbert, Lin Jie instructed the nurse on duty, "Please have Dr. Jiang conduct a detailed preoperative examination on the patient tomorrow morning."

"And please ask Dr. Jiang to personally escort the patient to Binhai University tomorrow evening."

The nurse on duty earnestly said, "Expert Lin, I will convey your instructions word for word to Director Jiang."

Actually, whether it was Tang You or old Mr. Herbert, under the care of director-level doctors Lei Jun and Jiang Hao, it wasn't necessary for Lin Jie to come personally.

However, Lin Jie felt uneasy if he didn't see it himself.

He stayed in the hospital office, meticulously refining old Mr. Herbert's surgical plan, and didn't leave until after six in the evening.

Lin Jie didn't go straight home; instead, he returned once more to Binhai University.

Yuan Guangxi called to inform him that the operating room had been set up.

Lin Jie and Guan Muhua entered the basketball gymnasium and saw standing in the center of the basketball court, on the wooden floor, a large glass house and Yuan Guangxi and others standing beside it.

As Lin Jie approached, Yuan Guangxi excitedly said, "Expert Lin, this glass house is constructed according to the standard operating room setup, divided into a changing room, hand scrubbing and disinfection room, operating room, and several other sections."

"Additionally, a small room equipped with power generation and air filtration circulation equipment has been installed."

He firmly patted the glass, saying, "Double-layer resin glass, anti-riot and soundproof."

"Expert Lin, come in and take a look!"

Following Yuan Guangxi, Lin Jie passed through the changing room, hand scrubbing and disinfection room, and through two isolation doors, entering the operating room.

He was momentarily taken aback.

In this operating room, Lin Jie looked around and only saw light blue walls.

From the outside, this operating room was transparent.

"Is this equipped with one-way glass?"

Yuan Guangxi nodded and explained, "One-way glass has been installed."

"With this, you don't have to worry about outside interference, allowing you to concentrate fully on the surgery."

"Tomorrow night, I estimate there will be at least thousands of spectators in this stadium, and it's hard to eliminate flashlights and such."

Lin Jie was very grateful for his attention to detail.

If at a critical moment during surgery, a strong light were to shine into the doctor's eyes, causing a hand tremor, the consequences are truly unimaginable.

"Expert Lin, follow me again!"

Lin Jie followed Yuan Guangxi to the next room.

This was a small room isolated using opaque materials, where he saw two generators and a UPS, an "uninterruptible power supply."

"The operating room uses an independent power supply, which will be provided by these two generators, one in operation and one as backup."

"Even if the operating generator fails, the backup generator can be promptly activated, as it's connected to the UPS, ensuring there's no worry about power outages in the operating room."

Lin Jie couldn't help but sigh, "Dean Yuan, you've thought of everything in such detail, considering all possible unexpected events."

Yuan Guangxi just laughed and then sighed, warning, "Expert Lin, never underestimate the extent of malice in people, nor the possibility of bystanders suddenly having twisted minds or acting neurotic, attempting to cause destruction."

"Many times, especially at critical moments..."

"It's better to think of other possibilities more often, prepare more plans, and even if it takes more time and money, it's much better than being helpless when unexpected situations arise."

Lin Jie understood the meaning in Yuan Guangxi's words.

It is akin to preparing a surgical plan, always considering possible unforeseen circumstances during the surgery, to be prepared for all eventualities.

Realizing that he is not universally adored and has enemies too.

He earnestly said, "Dean Yuan, thank you for your meticulous preparation and your reminder."

Yuan Guangxi laughed heartily, saying, "Your surgery tomorrow night, Expert Lin, is not just your personal affair but a major event for the school and even the national medical community."

"I am responsible for ensuring everything goes smoothly."

He added, "Although the operating room has been set up, the corresponding medical equipment, surgical instruments, blood, drugs, anesthetics, and surgical consumables will only be fully prepared by tomorrow morning."

Lin Jie casually said, "It's alright, as long as everything is ready before the surgery!"

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Dean Yuan, what about those senior experts?"

Yuan Guangxi sighed, shaking his head, "Those few, seeing your unwillingness to compromise, have already returned to the Capital City."

Lin Jie let out an 'oh' and asked hopefully, "Did they donate the money they promised?"

Yuan Guangxi chuckled, "In that situation, do you think they'd still donate?"

Lin Jie snorted disdainfully, "Unreliable promises, it's a shame they're called senior experts, thumbs down!"
