Two hours later.

4:30 in the afternoon.

The remote consultation conference room on the fourteenth floor of the Medical Technology Building at Eastern Hospital.

At this moment, Zhao Heng sat in the conference room with Liu Meng and Li Yang in the section belonging to the Anesthesia and Perioperative Center.

Zhao Heng and Gao Jun sat in the front row, while Liu Meng and Li Yang sat in the second row.

The directors of other departments also brought a doctor each and sat in their respective sections.

At this time, almost all eyes were on Zhao Heng.

Especially the young doctors brought by the department directors to gain exposure, looking at Zhao Heng as if he were a legend.

Indeed, for such a high-profile bilateral consultation, to show prominence, all department directors of Eastern Hospital were present, yet the main force for the consultation would be the young doctor Zhao Heng.

The young doctors present, who were brought by their directors to gain experience, were all elites, but seeing Zhao Heng, these elites still had indescribable feelings.

To put it bluntly, these young elites found it hard to maintain their composure when they saw Zhao Heng.

"Xiao Zhao, don't be nervous, just communicate normally with the South Korean side later."

Gao Jun said to Zhao Heng who was sitting beside him.

"Teacher, I'm not nervous."

Zhao Heng replied nonchalantly.

"That's good. The interpreter and Director Yuan will be here soon. Prepare yourself now."

Gao Jun continued.

This video consultation with South Korea certainly requires an interpreter, as Zhao Heng doesn't understand Korean.

"Xiao Zhao, perform well later and demonstrate our hospital's level."

The dean next to Zhao Heng also said to him.

This cross-border consultation is highly valued by the ministry, and if done well, Eastern Hospital will receive more attention from the ministry going forward.

Eastern Hospital has already reached the level of a top-tier hospital, and since Liu Shangming became the dean, he has been thinking about how to make Eastern Hospital even better. Improving technology is not something that can be done overnight.

This time is a great opportunity for Eastern Hospital to register itself with the ministry leaders. In the future, any good projects or policies can first be thought of involving Eastern Hospital.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded. If anything, he was slightly nervous, as it was a cross-border consultation that many experts hadn't conducted before, but it was nothing more than that.

Before long, Director Yuan entered with a tall, lovely girl, who should be the interpreter for this consultation.

When Director Yuan came in, everyone stood up immediately.

"Director Yuan."

Dean Liu Shangming and Gao Jun greeted.

"Xiao Zhao, are you ready?"

Director Yuan nodded to Dean Liu Shangming and Gao Jun, and asked Zhao Heng with concern.

"Ready."

Zhao Heng replied calmly, with confidence.

"That's good. This is Yuan Yuan, a graduate student from the Korean Language Department at Yanjing University, and the interpreter for this bilateral consultation. You should talk first."

Director Yuan, seeing Zhao Heng's confident demeanor, felt relieved. Before, he worried that Zhao Heng, being young, might be nervous in such a big setting, but now it seems this talent is indeed a talent, not only technically proficient at the level of his peers but also socially adept.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded.

"Hello, Dr. Zhao, I'm Yuan Yuan, the interpreter for this time."

The lovely girl Yuan Yuan extended her hand to Zhao Heng and greeted him.

Yuan Yuan looked at Zhao Heng with much curiosity. Before coming, she thought that a doctor capable of hosting such a high-profile cross-border consultation must be at least forty, but upon seeing Zhao Heng now, he was indeed young.

"Thank you."

Zhao Heng politely said, shaking hands briefly.

Afterward, Yuan Yuan, as the interpreter for this cross-border consultation, naturally sat beside Zhao Heng.

With twenty minutes to go before the consultation began, Yuan Yuan started chatting with Zhao Heng.

"Dr. Zhao, I heard that the purpose of this cross-border consultation is to treat patients in South Korea infected with the Brain-Eating Amoeba. Is that so?"

Yuan Yuan asked curiously.

In fact, before coming, her uncle, Director Yuan, had already briefed her on the basics.

The news about the mass infection of the Brain-Eating Amoeba on Jeju Island is already widespread on foreign websites, so this is not exactly a secret.

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded. Since Yuan Yuan will be translating later, it's quite normal for her to understand some of the details now.

"Dr. Zhao, is this Brain-Eating Amoeba as terrifying as it says online?"

Yuan Yuan asked again with much curiosity. She had visited Jeju Island before, and now suddenly hearing about the infection there was quite shocking.

The term "Brain-Eating," upon hearing it, is indeed a terrifying parasite.

Thinking about parasites living in the human brain made Yuan Yuan's scalp tingle.

"As it stands, the mortality rate for those infected with the Brain-Eating Amoeba is 97%. While not excluding the possibility of a low cure rate due to a small sample size, overall, the survival chances for those infected are very low."

Zhao Heng explained, as these details needed to be clarified to Yuan Yuan beforehand. Otherwise, during translation, ensuring accuracy would be challenging. This is, after all, a high-level international medical consultation, not a trivial matter. If inaccuracies in translation lead to misunderstandings between the two parties, it could be a huge blunder.
