Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1021 - 985: Only Forward, No Retreat

Tuesday morning, nearly nine o'clock, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.Lin Jie, Jian Jia, and a refined middle-aged man walked into the third-floor meeting room of the annex together.

There were already quite a few people in the meeting room, but they were all standing. The conference table and chairs, originally placed in the meeting room, had all disappeared.

Lin Jie scanned the crowd, seeing that the doctors from the military and his students had all arrived, he said, "We will keep our meeting brief, so these tables and chairs are not needed."

He paused for a moment and continued, "You know each other from work, so I won't introduce you one by one."

"Let me introduce to you the gentleman beside me..."

Lin Jie pointed to the refined middle-aged man beside him and said, "This is Mr. Zhou Hongzhi, a Chinese medicine master from the Binhai Traditional Chinese Medicine Family, who will also be a member of our project team."

"He will primarily be responsible for diagnosing patients, taking their pulse, and nourishing their bodies."

"As you may know, the Zhou Family of Binhai is renowned in the Chinese medicine community in the field of tonifying the body with traditional medicine."

"Our patients generally have poorer physical conditions and need proper nourishment."

Last night, after reviewing the medical records of forty-seven patients one by one, Lin Jie discovered an issue. Perhaps because these patients are scientific researchers who generally neglect fitness, their physical conditions are generally poor.

He had to ask the Zhou Family for help.

Mr. Zhou immediately expressed that whatever personnel or resources were needed, they would be provided with full support.

Given that this is a long-term experimental treatment process, patients' bodies will have ups and downs during treatment. Lin Jie hoped the Zhou Family could dispatch someone to join the project team to provide targeted nourishment based on the patients' physical condition at any time.

To Lin Jie's surprise, the Zhou Family sent Mr. Zhou's eldest son, Zhou Hongzhi.

He is considered the future leader of the Zhou Family and is highly respected in the field of Chinese medicine.

Zhou Hongzhi clasped his fists and graciously said to everyone, "I am Zhou Hongzhi. It's an honor to join the medical team led by Expert Lin and work together with you all."

Lin Jie swept his gaze over the crowd and said in a deep voice, "I previously left a task for you to gather as much detailed information as possible about the patients' conditions and physical status."

"I want to know how well you have managed this."

Lin Jie casually pointed to a bald military doctor and said, "Dr. Xiang, you introduce your patient."

"Yes, Colonel Lin!"

Dr. Xiang said loudly, "I am responsible for the patients in beds thirty-seven and thirty-eight."

"Patient in bed thirty-seven, male, fifty-one years old, height 177 cm, currently weighs fifty-five kilograms, a senior nuclear technology engineer, with advanced bladder cancer."

"The patient presents with visible dark red hematuria, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and dysuria."

"The imaging examination indicators are..."

In the following five to six minutes, Dr. Xiang clearly introduced the various examination indicators, pathological data, treatment plans previously received, medications taken, past medical history, etc., of the patient in bed thirty-seven.

"The above is what I have learned about the patient in bed thirty-seven."

"Patient in bed thirty-eight, male..."

"Hold on a moment!"

Lin Jie interrupted him and asked, "Do you have any improvements to suggest for the current treatment plan of the patient in bed thirty-seven?"

Dr. Xiang paused for a moment and said, "The original attending doctor of the patient in bed thirty-seven is Dr. Tan Yong from the PLA Tumor Hospital. He is an expert in the field of urinary system tumors in China..."

Lin Jie impatiently interrupted him and asked, "I didn't ask who the original attending doctor was."

"What I am asking is if you have any improvements to suggest for the current treatment plan for the patient in bed thirty-seven?"

Dr. Xiang's expression froze, and he loudly said, "I think the current treatment plan for the patient in bed thirty-seven is already quite perfect. Colonel Lin, my knowledge is limited, and I can't think of any improvements!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie knew that the other party's tone still carried some agitation and coldly said, "Can't think of any? It's not because of your limited knowledge; it's because your dedication isn't enough!"

"If I remember correctly, the patient in bed thirty-seven is from Northwest Lu?"

Dr. Xiang recalled for a moment and said, "Yes, he is from Northwest Lu."

Lin Jie analyzed, "To my knowledge, the people from that region have dietary habits that are high in oil and salt, which puts a significant load on the liver and kidneys."

"And among the medications currently treating his condition, some have a strong stimulating effect on the kidneys."

"Moreover, the patient's profession is a senior nuclear technology engineer, which requires frequent wearing of protective suits."

"Because putting on and taking off protective suits is quite cumbersome, the patient probably has a habit of holding urine, which is extremely unfriendly to the kidneys."

"Dr. Xiang, after the meeting, conduct a detailed renal function examination for this patient. I don't want the patient's condition to improve slightly, only to have a major problem arise with the kidneys."

Hearing this, Dr. Xiang blushed and said, "Yes, Colonel Lin!"

Lin Jie continued, "The patient has issues with frequent and urgent urination, coupled with medication irritation and the negative effects of radiotherapy, how is the patient's rest condition?"

Dr. Xiang replied awkwardly, "Not very good, waking up three or four times a night."

Lin Jie gave him a deep look and said, "Adequate sleep is key to recovering the body and spirit."

"In the implementation of the current treatment plan, I do not see any effort in this area. Dr. Xiang, I hope you can come up with some solutions in this regard!"

"Yes, Colonel Lin!" Dr. Xiang's voice noticeably softened.

Lin Jie ignored the change in his tone and continued, "Also, increase the patient's radiotherapy dose by 1.25 times."

He knew the crowd would have questions and further explained, "The patient works in the nuclear industry and is often exposed to trace amounts of nuclear radiation."

"The patient in their daily life must also regularly take some anti-radiation drugs and food, which has increased their body's radiation tolerance."

"From the medical records, the original dose of radiotherapy had quite a negligible effect, and this factor is likely the cause."

Zhou Hongzhi, standing beside Lin Jie, had been observing everyone's reactions.

He noticed that the military doctors, following Lin Jie's words, involuntarily nodded slightly.

Zhou Hongzhi couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, Lin Jie's skills are truly impressive. He showcases real expertise in subtle ways, adeptly winning over these people without overtly showing off.

At this moment, Lin Jie spoke, "Ma Hongmin, please introduce the case of the patient you're responsible for."

Being suddenly called upon, Ma Hongmin responded a bit nervously, "The patient I'm responsible for... is in bed eighteen, female, forty-nine years old, working in phased array radar research..."

In the following ten minutes, Ma Hongmin detailed the patient's condition, physical status, as well as their personal and family life situation, with quite thorough detail.

For instance, coverage included the patient's hobbies and dietary preferences, frequency of marital life, and children's academic and mischievous behaviors.

After Ma Hongmin finished her introduction, Lin Jie, somewhat satisfied, said, "The introduction is fairly detailed."

"All of you should aim to understand the patient's condition at least to the extent Ma Hongmin has. Understand?"

"Yes, Colonel Lin!"

The dozen military doctors responded loudly in unison, startling Zhao Fang, Ma Hongmin, and others.

Lin Jie said slowly, "You might think my requirement is a bit redundant."

"You need to understand that the treatment of a patient's tumor is a systematic project."

"Various radiotherapies, chemotherapy, and drug controls will damage the patient's entire immune system, significantly reducing resistance, potentially triggering some latent organic diseases."

"The more we know about the patient's condition, the more likely we are to predict possible concurrent symptoms and enable us to prepare preventive measures in advance."

After providing these pointers, Lin Jie further instructed, "The condition of the patients in bed five, eleven, sixteen, thirty-one, and forty-three should no longer be delayed."

"Starting tomorrow, undergo surgical treatment for these five patients."

With a wave of his hand, Jian Jia, standing beside him, tapped on the tablet in his hand and said, "The schedule for surgery, surgery requirements, and personnel arrangements have been sent to each information terminal, please check."

Following Jian Jia's words, everyone began checking their tablets.

At this point, Lin Jie noticed a military doctor in his forties raised his hand and spoke, "Dr. Gao, do you have any questions? Please go ahead."

He continued to state his position, "During the meeting and during discussions about patients' conditions and treatment plans, anyone with questions can bring them up at any time, no need for permission."

"We need to gather insights, and I cannot guarantee my decisions are always correct."

Lin Jie looked at the military doctor and encouraged, "Dr. Gao, you can begin, don't worry about anything."

"Colonel Lin..."

Dr. Gao spoke loudly, "The esophageal cancer patient in bed thirty-one is under my care."

"Because of the esophageal cancer and difficulty eating, the patient's physical condition has been quite poor. If we proceed with surgical treatment, first, there is a concern about whether his body can withstand it."

"Second, there is a worry that post-surgery, cancer cells might metastasize."

Lin Jie explained, "His esophageal tumor has already started infiltrating surrounding tissues. If surgery is not performed to remove the main tumor, this experimental therapy would lose its significance for him."

"During the surgery, his largely excised esophagus will be reconstructed with the small intestine."

"This way, shortly after surgery, he will be able to recover most of his eating function, and his physique will markedly improve."

"As for cancer cell metastasis..."

Lin Jie moved to the front of the meeting room's whiteboard and drew a simplified diagram of the patient's esophageal tumor with a whiteboard marker.

As he drew, he explained, "This is the main tumor of the patient, the part I plan to excise during surgery, about ninety-nine percent of its size, leaving a relatively complete tumor."

"Meanwhile, I will drop an inducer around this small tumor to encourage other cancerous cells to gather around it."

Dr. Gao frowned and asked worriedly, "Colonel Lin, with this method of inducement concentration, can you prevent cancer cells from metastasizing to other parts of the body?"

Lin Jie candidly replied, "I can't guarantee that."

"However, this method can effectively reduce the probability of cancer cells metastasizing to other organs."

He looked at the others and continued, "The tumor situations of the other four patients are broadly similar. Without surgery, they too would lose the chance to participate in experimental treatment."

"The treatment plan I provide for them is to remove the main tumor and induce the tumor cells hidden in the affected organ and its surroundings to gather at a predetermined location."

"This is currently my approach to experimental treatment for these patients. Does anyone have any questions?"

Some pondered, some frowned, some seemed about to speak, but ultimately no objections were raised.

At this moment, Lin Jie was feeling anxious inside too.

He understood that once this treatment plan was implemented, it meant he could only move forward, not retreat.

Lin Jie truly hoped someone could step forward and use incontrovertible evidence to point out this plan's infeasibility.

However, after waiting for one or two minutes, no one spoke up.

Lin Jie took a deep breath and said, "I've made some adjustments to the treatment plans currently being executed for all patients, please check your information terminals."

"If anyone has questions..."
