Chapter 1440: Chapter 1074: Green Lights All the Way_2 Chapter 1440: Chapter 1074: Green Lights All the Way_2 “So what should we do for patients with a smaller YJ body and severe YJ retraction? Using botulinum toxin in conjunction with traction can more simply address the issue of penile retraction, which is more in line with the characteristics of minimally invasive procedures.”

“There is a minor drawback to this method as it requires an incision at the base of the penis, which is an area with numerous hair follicles, potentially leading to poor wound healing or scar formation.”

“How do we thicken it?” asked a graduate student.

“What have you all been doing during your rotations? Thickening is simple. Inject hyaluronic acid between tissues to increase the weight and diameter of the penile body. It’s completely fine to increase the diameter by 0.5 to 1 centimeter. Old Wang went for both length and girth enhancement, and I estimate his diameter increased by well over 1 centimeter. Right, President Wang?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Hermes nodded.

President Liao was speaking fluently, and it wasn’t until this point that he realized discussing someone’s private matters in such a public setting was extremely unethical.

“I’m sorry, I just…” Doctor Liao said a bit awkwardly, then apologized to Hermes.

Hermes waved his hand: “It’s okay, we all know each other here.”

Anyway, everyone present is an acquaintance, and all the doctors and nurses in the department knew he had undergone the surgery; it wasn’t a secret here. Moreover, the successful transformation is something to be proud of, not a source of shame.

As Doctor Liao was speaking, he received a call from Director Luo: “Why is the consultation taking so long? The International Medical Department called to say that a Japanese person has come to see urological cosmetic outpatient services, you should go take a look.”

Doctor Liao quickly ended the conversation: “Director Luo is urging me. We’re swamped in the department. Look, there’s another case coming in. We’ll talk more when I’m free.”

But he is currently doing a follow-up on previous surgery cases, and the number of collected cases is not sufficient. Now encountering Hermes, he definitely couldn’t miss the opportunity. So he said to Hermes: “I’ll contact you later. I need to carry out post-operative follow-up and evaluation on patients who have had this surgery. When you’re free, I’ll give you a form to fill out, please help me out, because a lot of patients have lost contact, and I don’t have enough cases for follow-up. Do you have my WeChat? I think we added each other last time. My WeChat name is ‘Committed to the Lower Half.'”
“Committed to the Lower Half?” Hermes picked up his phone to search in WeChat contacts and found him indeed: “Send me that follow-up form, I’ll give you full marks.”

Having confirmed President Wang had his WeChat, President Liao, who was very busy with urology, hastily walked out only to remember that he had not yet gone to the consultation, so he returned and hurried to the ward for the consultation. A patient at the Surgical Research Institute was preparing for heart bypass surgery. During pre-operative exams, an enlarged prostate was discovered. The patient, having been severely affected by the enlarged prostate in urination, wanted to inquire whether it would be possible to perform a transurethral resection of the prostate at the same time as the heart bypass. President Liao needed to go and make an assessment.

After Doctor Liao’s lecture, everyone gained a bit of understanding about the surgery. Work was busy, so everyone dispersed to their respective duties.

Hermes looked at the measuring tape in his hand, recalling why he came today, but he realized Yang Ping was gone: “Where’s the professor?”

“The professor went to Affiliated Hospital No. 1,” said Little Five.

Hermes responded: “It’s okay; I can talk to you, too. It’s about the golden skeleton and the sign that I mentioned earlier.”

“Old Wang, I know you mean well, but let me put it this way, gold is not suitable to be placed inside a hospital,” said Little Five, not wanting to outright crush his luxurious ideas.

Hermes became anxious: “Why can’t it be placed in a hospital? It would look so beautiful, shining here.”

Little Five put his arm around Hermes and whispered in his ear: “Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the Five Elements produce and restrain each other. Metal restrains wood, and what is a hospital for? It is a place to save lives and offer aid, which requires life force. What is life force? In Five Elements theory, life force belongs to wood. How can you place gold–the most metal of all–inside a hospital? Think about it, isn’t that so?”

Hermes thought it over and agreed. Being a businessman, he firmly believed in such metaphysical theories, so he immediately stopped insisting.

Hermes was worried about disrupting everyone’s work after spending a long time here, so he quickly left.

After he left, a doctor asked Little Five, “Teacher Wu, aren’t the surgical instruments we usually use made of metal? Does that mean we will have to switch to non-metallic surgery instruments in the future?”

Little Five responded, “There’s an issue with your worldview.”

The graduate student muttered, wasn’t that what you just said?

—
Yang Ping arrived at Nandu Affiliated Hospital One. Professor Chang had awakened, his mind was very clear, and it was confirmed through a series of checks that Professor Chang’s brain had not been damaged.

These days, the rabies virus in Professor Chang’s body had been decreasing, and this morning’s virus test came back negative, indicating that the immune system had eradicated the rabies virus completely, making this a final victory in his treatment.

Due to the excellent control over the depth and duration of his hibernation, Professor Chang’s brain was not harmed. Although he was left with bilateral leg spasticity, considering that he had narrowly escaped death and his brain was totally intact, the leg spasticity was insignificant. Even if he couldn’t fully recover, he could still live in a wheelchair, and besides, there was still potential hope with rehabilitation therapy.

Now that Professor Chang was awake, Yang Ping asked him about his medical history. He confirmed that ten years ago, while climbing a mountain, he was indeed bitten by a wild dog through his thick trousers just enough to break the skin. At that time, lacking the medical knowledge on the subject, he did not pay much attention to it as there was no significant wound, and he didn’t get the preventive vaccine. He never imagined the disease would manifest ten years later.

Professor Chang also learned about his rescue process from doctors and nurses and was full of gratitude towards Yang Ping, who had pulled him back from the brink of death, from a disease with an almost 100% fatality rate. Hearing that the country had spared no expense in his rescue, his heart was deeply touched, further solidifying his determination to contribute to the nation.

“When can I be discharged? Right now, it’s just my legs that are not working, as if they’ve rusted, completely immobile. Otherwise, I feel okay.” Professor Chang leaned on the bed headboard, patting his lower limbs.

“Don’t rush, you should recover fully before being discharged. Your leg issue is caused by muscle spasticity, and you will need rehabilitation therapy in the future. It’s still too early to conclude whether you can fully recover,” Yang Ping advised him not to be hasty about leaving the hospital.

Professor Chang asked with some concern, “This sequelae won’t affect my brain, will it?”

“No, it only affects walking, and at worst, you’d need to use a wheelchair,” Yang Ping honestly replied.

Professor Chang laughed, “That’s not a problem. I’ll use a wheelchair if I need to. As long as it doesn’t affect my brain, doesn’t stop me from continuing my work, it’s fine. Anyway, I spend all day in the laboratory at the Institute, being in a wheelchair won’t make much of a difference.”

The senior leadership was thrilled to know that Professor Chang had been saved; it was truly a miracle. Yang Ping, that name alone suggested a figure who created medical miracles in the minds of the leaders.

Leaders from the Health Commission and the military were extremely excited upon hearing the news. Director Chen from the Health Commission had promised Professor Su that all his requests would be granted without obstacles. As Nandu Affiliated Hospital One was under the direct leadership of the Health Commission, and the approval power for major equipment was also in their hands, Professor Su took this opportunity to list a significant amount of equipment to Director Chen, as many departments were in desperate need of it.

For example, the ICU’s ECMO, which Director Luo had been seeking solutions for recently, and he had promised to solve this issue for Director Luo. Now was the perfect time to address it.

The list was submitted, and Director Chen from the Health Commission didn’t show any temper. He absolutely had to sign off; Nandu Affiliated Hospital One had made such a significant contribution. He had also made a promise that as long as principles were not violated, all requests would be given the green light, and this request did not violate any principles; hence, the green light was assured.

Professor Su was overjoyed. After this event, his future dealings with the Health Commission would indeed be smooth sailing.

PS: Wishing everyone a Happy New Year, good health, family happiness, and all the best!
