Lin Jie arrived at a news conference set up in a meeting room and found that there were already twenty to thirty people seated.
He saw his old friend Xiang Rong, nearly ten foreigners with deep-set eyes and high noses, and four or five cameras aimed at the podium.
When Lin Jie came to the podium, he was immediately hit by a wave of flashing lights.
Once again, he experienced the feeling of being a star.
With a sense of emotion and enduring the blinding flashes, Lin Jie forced a smile and waved to greet everyone.
At this moment, Maxwell, Jiang Hao, Qi Xingfen, as well as Cheng Xingguang, Chen Shi, and An Kexin, among dozens of others, also squeezed into the meeting room.
The scene was chaotic for a moment.
Lin Jie stretched out both hands and pressed down, signaling for quiet.
Soon, the room quieted down significantly.
Looking around at everyone, Lin Jie slowly began to speak: "Given that I just performed a major surgery lasting more than nine hours, my body and energy feel extremely fatigued, so I will keep it brief."
"First, let me introduce the surgical team!"
Lin Jie invited Jiang Hao and Qi Xingfen to the stage and formally introduced their identities to everyone.
"I also have two students and assistants, Tian Xiangyu and Huo Guangheng, who are currently in the ward taking care of Mr. Herbert."
After introducing the surgical team, Lin Jie stated directly: "The new surgical method you are concerned about is quite simple in principle..."
He held a long, thin, hollow fiber tube and displayed it to everyone, saying, "You must have noticed that this tube is incredibly thin, with a diameter comparable to a strand of hair."
"Moreover, it is hollow."
Lin Jie mimed a piercing motion, "Such a fine fiber tube, when inserted into the depths of the brain..."
"As long as it avoids most brain information node connections, the damage it causes to the brain is relatively minor."
He further explained: "Take this surgery as an example; if we used traditional surgical methods to remove the blood clot, the possible post-operative brain damage could include loss of smell, hearing, vision, and pain perception..."
"There are also potential risks of incomplete logical and cognitive function, partial limb numbness, and erectile dysfunction."
"Using this method, however, the post-operative brain damage is limited to the aspects of loss of smell and hearing."
Lin Jie smiled and continued: "Of course, this is still just a theoretical deduction."
"The specific post-operative damage has to wait until Mr. Herbert wakes up and undergoes detailed examinations to be determined."
"Overall, this method can effectively dissolve blood clots deep in the brain, as well as those in very sensitive locations."
Just as he finished speaking, a blonde beauty stood up and eagerly asked, "Hello, Dr. Lin Jie!"
"I am Janet, an exchange student from the United States studying at Binhai University, and on behalf of the West Coast Brain Tumor Research Association, I would like to ask you a question."
"Miss Janet, please go ahead!" Lin Jie replied politely.
Janet glanced at her phone before looking up and saying, "In your previous introduction, you mentioned that this fiber tube that directly pierces into the brain must avoid brain information node connections to prevent severe brain damage!"
"So, Dr. Lin Jie, with so many and so complex brain information node connections, how can they be effectively avoided?"
She continued, "Perhaps, Dr. Lin Jie, you have an incredible talent, like eidetic memory, allowing you to remember these vast information node connections."
"However, for the vast majority of neurosurgeons, remembering these is absolutely impossible."
"In other words, this new treatment method you envision only applies to you and a few doctors with memory talents like yours?"
This question immediately prompted many in the scene to ponder.
No matter how good a treatment method is, if it cannot be widely used and becomes exclusive to a few doctors, it loses much of its value.
Just as Lin Jie was contemplating how to respond, Maxwell, who had been whispering with his two assistants, strode over to Lin Jie and said, "Miss Janet, I will answer this question for Dr. Lin Jie."
"I can confidently tell you, and everyone present..."
He said with confidence, "Dr. Lin Jie's ingenious treatment method will not become exclusive to a few doctors; on the contrary, it will be disseminated globally as quickly as possible."
"You may all have forgotten one thing..."
Maxwell pointed to the cameras in front of him and a few people's mobile phones, saying seriously, "The advancement of technology."
"We cannot remember so many brain information node connections, but computers can."
"Besides accurately designing the surgical insertion route, this treatment method requires particularly steady hands and precision control with no room for error."
"Few neurosurgeons can do this..."
Maxwell paused and then continued, "However, CNC surgical robots can."
He extended his left hand and smiled, "Computer-aided systems design the surgical insertion route..."
He then extended his right hand, "High-precision CNC surgical robots perform the surgical operation."
Maxwell clapped his hands together forcefully, saying loudly, "When combined in this way, Dr. Lin Jie's new treatment method can be perfectly realized."
"And neurosurgeons only need to choose the one with the least damage among the several surgical routes designed by the computer-aided system, then simply control the surgical robot..."
The surgical method that Lin Jie himself conceived could be applied in this way, which he really hadn't considered before.
Lin Jie admired Maxwell's flexibility of thought.
Maxwell exhaled with a satisfied expression and said slowly: "With just..."
"A single light press, future operations that only senior neurosurgery experts could perform, such as removing intracranial deep-seated thrombi, could be completed."
He glanced around at everyone in the meeting room and explained, "Thrombi caused by intracranial injuries can be said to be the most damaging to the brain, next to brain tumors."
"Many of the clots deep within the brain, when removed using conventional surgical methods, not only pose great surgical risks, but often the damage caused by the surgery can be greater than the damage caused by the clots themselves."
"This results in many people having to abandon surgical treatment for clots in the brain, relying only on conservative therapies, luck, or miracles to wait for them to dissolve on their own."
Maxwell turned to Lin Jie and praised, "Dr. Lin Jie's ingenious idea has perfectly solved this problem."
"The 'Lin Jie Healing Technique' deserves our warmest congratulations and applause."
Amidst the thunderous applause in the meeting room, Lin Jie was unexpectedly embraced by Maxwell.
This gesture of hugging was so enthusiastic that it lasted for several minutes before ending.
"Dr. Maxwell..."
Janet's clear voice rang out again, "This surgical competition was initiated by you. Now that Dr. Lin Jie's surgery is complete, and yours is yet to take place."
"Given your current admiration for the 'Lin Jie Healing Technique', does this mean you concede?"
The meeting room quickly grew silent, and everyone looked at Maxwell, awaiting his response.
"This medical skills competition..."
Maxwell elongated his words and suddenly said, "I concede, and I do so wholeheartedly and verbally."
"Because I cannot come up with a better method than the 'Lin Jie Healing Technique' for removing clots in the brain."
"In this competition, I am also quite grateful..."
He intentionally paused, drawing everyone's attention back to him, and then smiled, "I'm grateful that as time goes by, people who pay attention to this won't remember Maxwell's loss."
"All they will remember..."
"Is the birth of a new, remarkably effective method for dissolving brain clots – the 'Lin Jie Healing Technique'."
Maxwell repeatedly mentioned the "Lin Jie Healing Technique", and Lin Jie felt quite grateful in his heart.
To have a surgical treatment method named after oneself, given Lin Jie's current reputation and qualifications, is somewhat insufficient. The mainstream medical community of the world does not recognize it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
However, with Maxwell's current status in the global neurosurgery field, his repeated acknowledgment of the "Lin Jie Healing Technique" can undoubtedly influence a large group of people.
The press conference continued.
Lin Jie, mustering all his energy, answered a few more questions. Just as he was about to take his leave, Tian Xiangyu entered the conference room.
"Teacher, Mr. Herbert is awake!"
"So soon?" Lin Jie was a bit surprised.
Tian Xiangyu replied again, "Teacher, he really has awakened. Huo Guangheng junior fellow is currently doing a preliminary check on the patient."
After confirmation, Lin Jie told everyone in the meeting room, "I've just received news from my assistant that Mr. Herbert, who underwent surgery, has regained consciousness."
"Now, I'm going to conduct a post-surgical injury examination. Please wait here for some time..."
Minutes later, Lin Jie, Maxwell, Jiang Hao, Qi Xingfen, and others arrived at the ward.
Lin Jie found that Herbert was indeed awake, but the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.
Herbert looked confused, his fiancée Lili had tears in her eyes, looking sad.
Meanwhile, his son, little Herbert, looked overjoyed.
Huo Guangheng came forward and reported, "Teacher, Mr. Herbert has lost part of his memory. All memories from the past three years are gone. Other memories, as well as brain cognition and thinking abilities, are otherwise normal."
Partial amnesia?
Lin Jie frowned.
Amnesia caused by brain trauma is not uncommon.
However, the reasons are very complex, and no medical expert has been able to fully understand them.
In the present situation, due to Herbert's previous coma, it is hard to determine whether the memory loss was caused by the prior brain injury or the surgery.
Lin Jie conducted a thorough examination on Herbert and discovered that besides the loss of nearly three years of memory, Herbert had almost completely lost his sense of smell, and his left ear was deaf.
Otherwise, no other obvious injuries were found.
This injury result was within Lin Jie's expectations, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Dr. Lin Jie, can my husband's memory be restored?" Lili asked pitifully.
Lin Jie replied truthfully, "The issue of memory loss is very complex. I can't give you an accurate answer, only that there is a possibility of recovery."
"You should try talking to Mr. Herbert about deeply memorable events from the past three years; it should have some stimulating effect."
At this point, little Herbert spoke in a mocking tone, "Losing three years of memory entirely erases you from my father; it's entirely God's will."
"Dad..."
Little Herbert turned to old Herbert and said, "This Lili is just a stripper who was with you entirely for your money."
"It's perfect; you don't have any memory of being with her, so just let her go."
Lili hurriedly explained, "Husband, you have to believe me. I'm with you because I love you, not for your money..."
Seeing the soap opera unfolding, Lin Jie decided it was best not to get involved!
He used the excuse of maintaining quiet to usher the two out of the ward.
Then, based on Herbert's examination results, Lin Jie devised a recovery plan and handed it over to the attending doctor for execution.
Afterward, he and Maxwell and others returned once more to the press conference site...
