Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 814: When Your Backer Falls


In the evening, Lin Jie arrived at the top floor of the inpatient building and walked into the luxurious ward that Yao Henan had just moved into.

He found it quite lively here. Zhang Xiaoxiao, Lin Miao, and An Kemeng were gathered around the small table by the bedside, chatting and laughing while having dinner with Yao Henan.

"Brother, would you like to join us for dinner?"

Lin Miao suggested, "These are takeout dishes from a restaurant next to my company that my colleagues and I frequently visit. The taste is pretty good."

"No, I'll have dinner at home with Kexin."

Lin Jie noticed that Yao Henan had put down her bowl and chopsticks, seemingly feeling awkward eating in front of him, so he softly said, "I just came to check in. Xiaoxiao, Miaomiao, Kemeng, who will go back with me after dinner?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke up, "I'll stay here tonight. Let Miaomiao and Kemeng go back with you."

"This ward has much better conditions. It has a private bathroom where you can take a hot shower and a comfortable bed for resting. Ajie, don't forget to bring me some change of clothes and toiletries tomorrow."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "Okay."

"Miaomiao, Kemeng, I'll wait in the office then. Call me when you're ready to leave."

After saying this, Lin Jie turned and left.

"Hey..."

A voice as soft as a mosquito suddenly sounded.

Though quiet, Lin Jie still heard it.

He stopped, walked back to the bedside, and said warmly, "Nannan, are you feeling unwell, or is there something you want to say to me?"

Yao Henan lowered her head and softly said, "I heard that you were threatened by that woman, that... that..."

Lin Jie comforted her, "You don't need to worry about that."

"I've already received definite news that she was given a ten-day detention for threats and intimidation. This ten-day detention will give her time to sober up."

"You must have heard a lot about me these past few days."

He smiled and boastfully said, "A doctor like me is quite influential."

"The chairman's family of Bowei International School may seem wealthy and powerful to you, but in Binhai City, they're at most second-rate, not enough to affect me much."

"You just need to take good care of yourself. Don't worry about anything happening outside."

After pausing, Lin Jie added, "As for your father, a famous lawyer from a big law firm is defending him. I'll inform you of any changes immediately."

"Thank you!"

Yao Henan slowly lifted her head, looked at Lin Jie, and asked, "Dr. Lin, I want to know when I can undergo surgery treatment."

Lin Jie contemplated for a moment and said, "Your body is still very weak and needs some time to recuperate."

"As the saying goes, haste makes waste. As long as you follow my instructions, your father's wish has a great chance of being fulfilled."

Yao Henan nodded and said, "I'll behave well, I promise."

"I must let my dad see me stand up and walk, so he won't have any regrets."

After leaving the ward, Lin Jie felt somewhat anxious and nervous.

Yao Henan's frail condition was indeed a major reason why immediate surgery was not suitable.

But there was another decisive reason: Lin Jie had yet to come up with an appropriate surgical treatment and recovery plan.

In other words, Lin Jie still didn't have a solid grasp on the recovery of Yao Henan's bone injury.

Initially, Lin Jie's idea was to treat it in stages with multiple surgeries for gradual recovery, but this would require a long period.

However, the time remaining for this case was quite scarce for Lin Jie.

He learned from the lawyer that because the evidence in the case was conclusive and the facts were clear, though there could be minor squabbles and use of public opinion and appeals, at most, he had only two to three months.

This two to three months meant that Lin Jie's treatment for Yao Henan's bone injury must succeed in one go...

With this in mind, Lin Jie, feeling an urgent need, took out his phone and called Fang Lianggong and Lei Jun, inviting them to his office to discuss Yao Henan's surgery.

Meanwhile, he instructed Guan Muhua to first send Lin Miao and An Kemeng back, then return to pick him up.

More than forty minutes later, Fang Lianggong and Lei Jun, despite coming from different distances, arrived at Lin Jie's office at almost the same time.

Seeing the mutual disdain in both their eyes, Lin Jie couldn't be bothered with their past grievances and said directly, "You've both probably seen Yao Henan's medical information."

"I need a plan that allows Yao Henan to stand up within three months, preferably two, with surgical treatment and recovery."

"I can honestly tell you that I haven't figured it out yet."

"I called you here because I want to hear your thoughts."

Fang Lianggong couldn't believe it and said, "Expert Lin, are you sure you want the patient to be walking in two to three months?"

"That means completing all the bone injury repairs with just one surgery?"

Seeing Lin Jie nod in confirmation, Fang Lianggong couldn't help but question, "Expert Lin, this would require completely opening up the patient's hips, as well as the muscles of both thighs and calves, for the bone injury repairs."

"Such extensive surgical trauma would require no less than twenty hours of surgery. Can the patient's frail body withstand it?"

"Dean Fang..."

Before Lin Jie could speak, Lei Jun sarcastically noted, "Don't compare your circumstances to Expert Lin's surgical processes!"

"Let's put it this way, with Expert Lin's precise understanding of human anatomy and exceptional surgical skills, the surgery time could be reduced by more than a third compared to us."

"Moreover, Dr. Lin can reduce surgery-induced blood loss and muscle damage by one-third compared to us."

"With this calculation, the patient should be able to endure this operation."

Seeing the doubt in Fang Lianggong's eyes, Lin Jie didn't hide, nodding and saying, "What Dr. Lei mentioned, if I prepare more and push myself, I can still achieve it."

"Both of you, let's hear your surgery ideas."

"Two heads are better than one. Maybe together we can come up with an excellent surgical plan."

"Let me go first..."

Lei Jun took out his laptop, opened it, and brought up a file, saying, "Originally, I designed this surgical plan to be completed in four stages, but now it has to be merged into one."

"This is a simulation surgery for the hip bone and hip joint..."

In this surgical simulation plan, the previously healed but very unsightly hip bone was once again divided into many small pieces.

Glancing at Fang Lianggong, he proudly said, "These divisions are not arbitrary. They were derived from the best division scheme using a computer-assisted fracture system developed by my team, after tens of thousands of simulations."

Fang Lianggong said scornfully, "No matter how intelligent a computer is, it's still an inanimate object, incapable of predicting unexpected situations during surgery."

"For a surgeon, the most important thing is..."

He pointed at his head and said, "The accumulation of experience and the ability to handle situations on the spot."

"If you get an emergency surgery, by the time your computer simulation is done, the patient would have long passed away."

Lei Jun sneered without arguing with Fang Lianggong and continued to introduce his surgical conception to Lin Jie.

After more than half an hour, when Lei Jun finished speaking, Fang Lianggong raised his hands and applauded lightly, saying, "Not bad, not bad. Using absorbable silk thread to weave a mesh and form a support, using biological glue to bond, without a single piece of metal fixation during the entire procedure."

"I can be sure that after this surgery, the patient's broken bones could likely match up just as well as normal ones. In theory, that's quite perfect."

Fang Lianggong's praise didn't relax Lei Jun's expression.

Instead, he looked sullen and snorted, "Dean Fang, no need to give mixed signals, just say your 'but.'. I'm used to it by now."

Fang Lianggong chuckled and said, "My 'but' is..."

"Dr. Lei, it seems you've forgotten something. This is a complete hip bone and lower limb bone fracture repair for the patient."

"Though your surgery is executed excellently and the bones fit perfectly, once the patient leaves the operating table, even without any movement, the sheer weight of the patient can crush these bones into smithereens."

"Do you believe it or not?"

Seeing Lei Jun's heavy expression, Fang Lianggong continued with a smile, "Dr. Lei, I have to admit, your method is indeed outstanding. But this approach can only be suitable for local comminuted fracture recovery."

"This is because you've split the bones into too small pieces and only used silk mesh and glue, which have no supportive strength."

"For such extensive bone injuries in the patient, it won't hold up during the postoperative recovery process."

With a darkened expression, Lei Jun slowly nodded, "Dean Fang, although I dislike your smug tone, the issue you pointed out is indeed a big problem."

He turned to Lin Jie and said, "Dr. Lin, combining four surgeries into one, this shaping support issue needs to be addressed seriously."

Lin Jie sighed and said, "Dr. Lei, this problem is also what has been troubling me all along."

He looked at Fang Lianggong and asked, "Dean Fang, let's hear your surgical idea."

Fang Lianggong's surgical plan disappointed Lin Jie even more.

It was a very traditional method of fracture treatment, extensively using metal bone plates, screws, and pins to fix the fragmented bones.

After he finished speaking, Lei Jun shook his head and sighed, "Dean Fang, I don't even want to critique your plan."

"This surgical plan is no different from the treatment the patient has received before; it's nothing but old wine in a new bottle, just with slightly more refined techniques."

"With this surgical plan, the bone fragments are still so large. After healing, the patient's improvement will be very limited. You could say the patient will have suffered the same agony twice."

Even Fang Lianggong knew the drawbacks of his surgical plan, his face flushed slightly as he looked at Lin Jie and said, "Dr. Lin, I admit, this plan is somewhat old-fashioned and traditional, and the improvement is not significant."

"However, Dr. Lei's surgical plan simply isn't feasible."

Lei Jun retorted, "Why is it not feasible?"

"As long as the issue of pressure deformation in the postoperative recovery process is resolved, my surgical plan is the best."

Fang Lianggong mocked, "Then you come up with a way to prevent such tiny and fragmentary bones from breaking and deforming again?"

"You..."

Lei Jun fumed, "Just because I can't think of it now doesn't mean I won't think of it tomorrow."

"Not thinking of it tomorrow doesn't mean I'll never think of it..."

Watching the two bickering, Lin Jie felt quite frustrated at heart.

To ensure Yao Henan's bone injury heals well, the bones need to be fragmented into small pieces for alignment.

However, if the bone fragments are too small, it becomes inconvenient to use screws and pins for metal fixation. Firstly, so many foreign objects in the body can easily cause irritation, rejection, and other abnormal reactions, leading to infection.

Even if it heals, it could easily bring long-term severe pain to the patient.

Conversely, using metal for fixation—because the bone fragments are too small—makes it easier to deform due to self-weight or external forces during recovery.

Simply segmenting the bones into larger pieces would result in less noticeable healing and recovery.

Lin Jie thought that bringing both of them together might give him some inspiration or new ideas, but it turned out to be fruitless.

This realization taught him that at critical moments, you can't rely on external support. Ultimately, it still depends on oneself.
