Chapter 1437: Chapter 1073: Not Obvious, But Excellent!_2 Chapter 1437: Chapter 1073: Not Obvious, But Excellent!_2 Professor Su briefly flipped through the names on the medical record and immediately understood. This was a patient covered by public medical funds, who had undergone dozens of hospital-wide and external consultations. He had personally participated in several of them, which is why the name sounded so familiar.

A patient nearing brain death and kept alive only by machines that maintain organ vitality – what was he consulting Yang Ping for? What was Director Luo up to? This wasn’t calling Yang Ping for a consultation; he was effectively asking for me. Professor Su immediately understood what was going on.

Director Luo wanted to use this valuable opportunity to share his troubles with Professor Su. Although the patient was covered by public medical funds and not short on money, he had been staying there for over three years, consuming a vast amount of medical resources. At present, ICU beds and equipment were already in short supply, and this patient alone took up several life-saving machines, which needed to be constantly available. These were life-saving machines that, if used here, would be in short supply elsewhere.

But this was also a difficult matter for Professor Su to handle. As the dean, one needed not only strong academic abilities but also management skills, and perhaps more importantly, the handling of various relationships and the ability to navigate them gracefully. Professor Su was exactly that kind of person, a pluri-potential talent, one could say.

“Old Luo, let me consult on this patient for you. Professor Yang is very busy; you don’t have to trouble him,” Professor Su said, now understanding the implications behind the request. Now, with the development of the ICU, Director Luo was short on staff and equipment and hoped the dean could intervene, allocate a few staff members, and purchase some new equipment.

“Thank you, Dean Su,” Director Luo immediately said, his face breaking into a smile. Dean Su’s word was always his bond. If he said he would help with the consultation, things would be much more manageable. The new equipment he requested and the few doctors he needed would soon be in place.

As for the patient, to be honest, Director Luo knew in his heart that Professor Su couldn’t possibly intervene forcefully. The world was not about fights and killings but about managing human emotions and social etiquette, which Director Luo still understood.

“Then, thank you, Dean Su,” Director Luo immediately said.

Now that the matter had settled, Director Luo did not need to have so many people wasting time around here, so the consultation ended.

The consultation ended just like that. What had happened? Professor Yang hadn’t even spoken yet. Professor Su specializes in Orthopedics; why had he let Director Luo consult with him?

Those masters and doctoral students gathered around were at a loss as to what had happened, having never encountered such a consultation before. Some even wondered if they had missed some important information while being distracted.

“Did you just hear Professor Yang speaking? How should this patient be treated?”

“No, I didn’t hear anything.”

“What exactly happened?”

“I don’t know.”

These young masters and doctoral students were still too naive, their minds filled only with medical knowledge, but no matter how hard they thought, they couldn’t understand what happened in today’s patient consultation. How was it resolved in just a few words?

Professor Chang’s condition improved day by day, and Yang Ping’s work focus also shifted back to his own department.

He also took the opportunity to summarize his innovation in treating rabies. In fact, he hadn’t done too much work this time, merely thoroughly understanding all existing rabies research theories, integrating them, and then reconnecting the theories with clinical practice.

The theory was ready-made, and the drugs were also ready-made. Hibernation therapy was a common method in the field of Neurology. If they were all dissected separately, there was no innovation, but when combined together, they formed a whole new theory. This also gave Yang Ping some inspiration.

Back in his department, Yang Ping wanted to find some time to visit Sisi, but no one was in her ward. The nurse said that Sisi had gone to the psychological department, where Director Bai of the psychological department was chatting with her. Because Sisi was still quite young and had suffered from the disease for a long time, despite being a smart and strong little girl, she was likely to be negatively impacted psychologically, so Yang Ping made it a point to have Director Bai, the head of the psychology department, talk to her and provide proper psychological counseling regularly.

Providing psychological help to some patients, especially those with tumors, is utterly necessary. Not only patients but also medical staff working under high pressure need psychological counseling. However, psychological counseling is not given much attention domestically, and sometimes even viewed with embarrassment.

Sisi would be able to return to school in a few days. Being intelligent and having completed her elementary school curriculum ahead of time, the delay had no impact on her studies. The subsequent Virus Therapy only required her to be hospitalized for a few days each time, which was very convenient.

Yang Ping also went to see Zhao Yufan, the little boy. After undergoing Virus Therapy, his tumor had also noticeably shrunk. The evident effectiveness of the treatment had excited Old Zhao so much that he hadn’t slept for several days and nights; the feeling of escaping from the jaws of death truly made an impact on Old Zhao. Old Zhao, his son, and a patient in the next bed were playing the card game ‘fight the landlord’ in the ward, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

During this period, Xia Shu and Head Nurse Cai had also worked very hard. They were the main members of the experimental team. Now that Sisi’s experiment had succeeded, they had returned to their regular duties in the department.

Yang Ping had himself checked several times afterwards, and the K virus was no longer found in his body, indicating that it had been completely cleared. Hence, he was now completely free from worries.

Hermes had returned from Africa and hadn’t left since. He kept running to Sanbo Hospital every other day, virtually making the hospital his second home. The doctors and nurses in the Surgical Research Institute were very familiar with him; he was either bringing fruits or pastries, always arranging to bring treats for the doctors and nurses.
