Chapter 1065: A Controversial Surgery!

Li Hansen left the hospital, arrived at the hotel, picked up the landline, and dialed an international long-distance call.

His tone was filled with malice, completely devoid of the gentlemanly demeanor he had just displayed.

The call connected.

Li Hansen complained, "I just met with Tang Yu. He is even more stubborn than I imagined."

On the other end of the line was Kaibinsi, the head of the Neurosurgery team at the Cleveland Clinic.

"You prepared 500,000 US dollars, and he wasn't even moved?"

Li Hansen gave a helpless, bitter smile, "That's right. I investigated him. Although he graduated from a famous medical school in Huaguo and is currently a student of Professor Cheng, the Vice President of Chang Geng Hospital, he has no record of advanced studies abroad. I thought he would have a keen interest in the invitation we extended. I didn't expect him to not play by the rules at all."

Kaibinsi was somewhat angry and complained, "I told you back then not to be too greedy. We shouldn't have offered the patient such high stakes in the first place."

Li Hansen said with regret, "I just wanted to get the patient to donate a little more to Cleveland; who could have foreseen this change halfway through? This Dou Fanggang is also particularly strange. He has significant wealth, yet he is willing to let a doctor with no international reputation serve as his primary surgeon."

Kaibinsi gave a cold snort, "The difficulty of this surgery is immense. At the Cleveland Clinic, no more than three people can perform this operation. This doctor is too arrogant. I suspect the patient doesn't want to live anymore and has just given up."

As someone with a certain understanding of the Huaguo medical circle, Li Hansen had actually conducted a detailed investigation and study of Tang Yu.

Over the past two years, Tang Yu had frequently attended various neurosurgical academic forums and had successfully performed several teaching surgeries of considerable difficulty; he was a student highly regarded by the neurosurgery titan, Professor Cheng.

"Doctor Kaibinsi, are you certain the difficulty of this surgery is very high?" Li Hansen asked softly.

"Yes, the difficulty of this surgery is extremely high. The location is very deep, and the tumor has already invaded the nervous system. Even if successfully excised, there is a high probability the patient will lose their language function and become a mute. Even if I were to perform this surgery, I would only have a fifty percent chance of preserving his language function," Kaibinsi said with extreme confidence.

Li Hansen said coldly, "Hmph, without the ability, yet he dares to ruin our plans. If the surgery fails, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!"

……

On Thursday afternoon, Tang Yu waited for Professor Cheng at the hospital.

"Teacher, thank you for your hard work."

"Haha, if it weren't for your business, I wouldn't be going through all this trouble." After getting out of the car, Professor Cheng shook hands with Tang Yu, "What kind of patient is it, making things so mysterious?"

Tang Yu smiled, "You'll know in a moment."

The two arrived at the ward.

After several days of preoperative adjustments, Dou Fanggang's condition had improved significantly.

Surgical operations require the patient to be in a state where all vital signs are relatively good so that the surgery can have more room for error.

"Mr. Dou, this is my teacher, Professor Cheng, a globally renowned Neurosurgery Expert and an academic titan in the field of skull base tumors. I specifically invited him over to conduct a consultation regarding your condition."

Dou Fanggang knew of Professor Cheng's reputation and had heard Tang Yu mention this matter, so he had been prepared in his heart for a long time.

"Professor Cheng, thank you for your trouble."

Professor Cheng waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "Adjust your mindset. Tang Yu is my student, and I have great confidence in his abilities. You will absolutely not go wrong in choosing him as your primary surgeon."

Dou Fanggang nodded vigorously, "Thank you for your encouragement."

Although Tang Yu had not introduced Dou Fanggang's identity to Professor Cheng, Professor Cheng had seen many patients, including those with status and standing, so he roughly judged what was going on.

Leaving the ward, the group arrived at the consultation room.

Tang Yu began to preside over the consultation, "These are some of the patient's materials. The difficulty lies in the deep location of the tumor, and a portion of the lesion is wrapping around the nerve plexus. Below, I will share my surgical approach with everyone..."

Tang Yu's surgical approach was very clear.

Professor Cheng nodded from time to time.

After Tang Yu finished speaking, Professor Cheng offered several suggestions.

Professor Cheng mainly brought up a few details.

There were several critical points during the surgery where bleeding might occur.

What surgeons fear most is bleeding!

These were the experiential insights Professor Cheng had summarized from actual practice, shared selflessly!

Tang Yu recorded them quickly, and after the consultation, he readjusted the surgical plan during the simulated surgery.

Professor Cheng watched quietly as Tang Yu performed a full set of simulated surgeries and felt approval for his student's progress.

Before, Tang Yu had been exploring on his own, following an unconventional path.

After becoming Professor Cheng's student, Tang Yu mastered some orthodox techniques, and after integrating them with his own characteristics, he had made tremendous progress.

Seeing Tang Yu, Professor Cheng felt as if he were seeing his younger self.

Exploring in solitude, meeting challenges head-on, persevering!

……

The two arrived at Tang Yu's office.

Professor Cheng asked softly, "This patient previously received medical consultation at the Cleveland Clinic, right?"

Tang Yu nodded slightly, "How did you know?"

Professor Cheng said earnestly, "The medical circle is not small, but it's not large either. Especially in top-tier fields, many pieces of news are shared. Many people are paying attention to this surgery, especially the international medical circle, which is full of controversy over this operation."

Tang Yu usually had no contact with the outside world, but from Professor Cheng's tone, he read the subtext.

"Not long ago, the Cleveland Clinic sent people to find me. They hoped I would refuse this surgery and offered me 500,000 US dollars, also promising to let me go to the Cleveland Clinic for advanced studies. Once the studies were finished, they would give me a professor title. I refused at the time."

Professor Cheng suddenly realized and thought to himself that the pride in Tang Yu was the quality he admired most, "So that's it. The international medical circle is so lively because they are deliberately inciting it, wanting to create pressure for you."

Tang Yu said calmly, "Teacher, I will definitely perform this surgery well and not bring shame to you!"

Professor Cheng nodded, a look of determination appearing in his eyes, "I won't go anywhere these next few days. I will stay in Hanzhou to accompany you in refining the surgical process and considering every detail of the surgery thoroughly. We must make those foreigners who look down on Huaguo doctors shut their mouths!"

Tang Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Teacher, since you've made the trip, besides helping me refine the surgical details, shouldn't you also perform a few surgeries to help me share the workload?"

Professor Cheng reacted, "You look honest, but you're actually quite shrewd! Doesn't the hospital have the plaque for my studio hanging up? These next few days, I will fulfill my responsibilities and perform a few surgeries."

A titan of Professor Cheng's level is someone ordinary hospitals couldn't invite even if they tried!

This was equivalent to giving the hospital a blockbuster advertisement that was impossible to measure with money!

"Teacher, thank you. I will have someone arrange it in a moment."

"Mm, during this time, put all your energy into preparing for this surgery!"
