Chapter 1926: line with translation of chapter title
Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Jin Yao Wu arrived very early; he had already formed a habit.
Every day he has to perform ten surgeries, plus summarizing and recording the surgeries, keeping him as busy as a dog.
But Jin Yao Wu does not feel tired; he is happy every day.
Objectively speaking, he can feel his own progress, tremendous progress.
Jin Yao Wu sometimes even thinks that if he were to do another "duel"-style surgery now, he should be stronger than that young Zheng Lao Ban.
Surgery, it's all about practice; it's honed through repetition. As for the so-called genius who can grasp it at a glance, Jin Yao Wu has always scoffed at it.
Under the daily training of ten gastric fundus and left gastric artery embolization surgeries, Jin Yao Wu is growing rapidly.
At five in the morning, he arrives at the hospital.
Working with him are several Chinese-American doctors and nurses, after all we share blood and similar thinking, unlike those Americans who refuse to work overtime, saying live or die.
Jin Yao Wu has squeezed out the last bit of his potential; doing ten surgeries a day under X-ray exposure, the human body has already reached its limit.
"No madness, no survival," Jin Yao Wu firmly believes this. To be able to return home with his head held high, he has already paid too much.
But Jin Yao Wu believes all this is worthwhile; every effort brings reward. He trusts that heaven rewards diligence—this is truth.
The feeling of being pressed down from above is unpleasant; that person is younger than me, and there's no way to persuade myself to wait for him to grow old so he can yield his position to me.
Even when I grow old, that young Zheng Lao Ban could still be wearing lead clothing and doing ten years of surgeries!
Time waits for no one; fortunately, the research atmosphere at Johns Hopkins is intense, with massive charitable donations that dazzle Jin Yao Wu's eyes.
Implemented clinically, this means we can find countless patients for free surgeries. Since this is, after all, an experimental surgery, it is a kind of research.
After continual small mistakes, Jin Yao Wu also modified his surgical approach; he believes the overall procedure is trending toward maturity.
And the rapidly growing numbers also please the Big Boss.
This is the research outcome; later these detailed numbers will be brought out to make a point!
After the patient is sent in, Jin Yao Wu prepares the sheet, then makes a gesture toward the technician and nurse outside the lead glass.
Surgery begins; the people outside start timing.
This is one of Jin Yao Wu's little habits.
He is racing against himself; although each patient's condition differs, making unified quantification difficult, Jin Yao Wu still persists in this little habit.
Because the time of each surgery makes the entire research data more rigorous. This is just a small point, yet it subtly influences everyone's perception.
The surgery is done quickly; the Chinese-American assistant is already working with Jin Yao Wu with increasing tacit understanding.
From previously taking one and a half hours per surgery, it gradually shortened to completing a surgery within one hour.
After breaking the one-hour barrier, the reduction in surgical speed begins to slow, eventually reaching a crawl. But Jin Yao Wu is not anxious; he clearly knows that no matter how hard he tries, he can never reduce this number to zero.
The later it gets, the harder it becomes; even gaining a second of progress is not easy.
The saying "to advance further even after reaching the top of a hundred-foot pole" is exactly this principle.
The surgery proceeds steadily; super-selective guide wire selection, locating the left gastric artery, then beginning embolization.
Regarding embolization points, after hundreds of surgeries Jin Yao Wu has also summarized experience; he vaguely feels that the finer the embolization, the more postoperative complications there are.
But when he mentioned this to the Big Boss a few times, he only received reprimands.
Wanting to modify the procedure, Jin Yao Wu still lacks the qualifications.
His identity and status are merely those of a surgery-doing dog; he cannot possibly enter the core of this research.
Jin Yao Wu can only implement and carry out the Big Boss's intentions.
Here opinions are not needed, only action. If he wants to put his ideas into practice, he must return to China first.
However, by then the entire weight-loss surgery should already be matured, completely no longer needing Jin Yao Wu to do anything.
Embolization, then again preparing contrast agent, the embolization is very solid and thorough.
Withdrawing the guide wire and catheter, Jin Yao Wu has the assistant apply pressure to stop bleeding, then makes a gesture.
46′58″!
Another new record.
The patient's blood vessels are relatively simple, which is why it can be so fast. But more importantly, Jin Yao Wu's technique is becoming increasingly proficient and meticulous.
Tearing off the sterile gown, Jin Yao Wu walks out of the operating room.
"Doctor Jin, the surgery is truly fast!" the operator praised in fluent American English.
Jin Yao Wu smiled, "Fast?"
Whenever he thinks about speed, he involuntarily recalls Mu Tao and what he said.
That young Zheng Lao Ban, during earthquake relief, performed a pelvic fracture embolization treatment surgery in 15 minutes.
How he managed that, Jin Yao Wu still hasn't figured it out to this day.
15 minutes per surgery... this is already akin to a miracle.
Surely Mu Tao exaggerated when stating this; about one hour is more plausible.
Pelvic fracture embolization is far more complex than embolization of the gastric fundus and left gastric artery.
Even with all my effort, I can only shorten the gastric fundus and left gastric artery embolization surgery to within one hour.
Earthquake relief? Back then one also had to face occasional aftershocks; being able to finish one surgery in an hour... forget it, I don't want to think about it.
While waiting for the assistant to bring the patient and receive the next one, Jin Yao Wu begins to retrieve the data; these are the most precious data.
All research must be based on the foundation of detailed surgical data.
Twenty minutes later, Jin Yao Wu began the next surgery.
Still a timed surgery, still skilled operation and surgery, still retaining various data, including surgery duration.
Still... it's him racing against himself.
Jin Yao Wu believes that nobody can do better than him.
In liver cancer treatment, in the treatment of portal hypertension, I can't compare to the younger Zheng Lao Ban, so I'll change direction.
He was certain that now even the Big Boss of Johns Hopkins Hospital performing gastric fundus, gastric left artery Interventional embolization Shou Bing would not be more skilled than me.
This is the proficiency fed from over a hundred Shou Bing, with favorable timing, location, and harmony all present, only then could I reach this level.
The second Shou Bing was of higher difficulty, and it took a full 55 Minute to finish the Shou Bing.
But Jin Yao Wu's emotion had no Fluctuation; this is completely normal. Like Mu Tao described, regardless of condition complexity, regardless of patient age, regardless of whether the Blood Vessel has deformity, 15 Minute per Bone fracture Interventional embolization treatment……
That is a myth.
One…… one…… after another, Jin Yao Wu was doing Shou Bing with full concentration.
He was fully focused.
He had no distractions.
He gave his all.
He freely expended his vitality.
All for the sake of one day returning domestically and becoming the strongest in a branch of Interventional surgery!
