Doctor: I Can Synthesize Infinite Entries

Chapter 494: Chapter 282: Massive Drop! Hybrid Support Technology: Beating-Heart Technique (Black)

Seeing Scholar Jiang, Wu Ting finally realized that it was Scholar Jiang who had just called him from the office landline.

He had only saved Scholar Jiang’s mobile number and messaging contact, so he had no idea it was Scholar Jiang’s phone.

Wu Ting walked out, feeling a bit awkward.

When the other trainees saw Wu Ting being called out privately by Scholar Jiang, they were all curious and envious.

Hu Zhipeng was the closest to Wu Ting, and since they both worked under Director Ren, he was most aware of Wu Ting’s talent. He couldn’t help but feel a little emotional. ’Although my starting point was much higher than Wu Ting’s, when it comes to the future younger generation of cardiac surgeons, Wu Ting is the undisputed leader!’

Hu Zhipeng had long since decided to build a good relationship with Wu Ting and become his right-hand man in the future.

’A man can’t stand alone,’ Hu Zhipeng thought. ’No matter how outstanding or brilliant Wu Ting’s individual abilities are, he’ll still need his own team. I’ll position myself as the backbone of that team.’

Once Hu Zhipeng had this goal, he was no longer conflicted. He continued to listen attentively to the lecture, planning to let Wu Ting glance over his notes later.

At this thought, Hu Zhipeng felt another pang of envy. He needed to review the material at least three times to remember it, while Wu Ting only needed a single glance to commit it to memory.

Outside the classroom, Scholar Jiang told him about the surgical invitation from Professor James of Cleveland Hospital.

Wu Ting was hesitant and felt a little insecure.

Wu Ting couldn’t be sure if this was a genuine invitation from Professor James himself, or if it was just the power of capital working behind the scenes.

Not long ago, he had conspired with the Southern Country Johnson & Johnson Group to get an introduction to Professor James. It was all part of the plan.

After all, this was a critical period of intensive training. The daily theoretical lectures were a huge help to Wu Ting; this was the most comprehensive and systematic course in the field of cardiac surgery he could get.

Before, he had only been acquiring skill sets from different masters. Although he was top-tier in certain Surgical Techniques and specific experiences, there were still gaps in his knowledge. This training camp was the most comprehensive learning experience Wu Ting had ever had through his own solid effort.

Wu Ting had gained a tremendous amount from this training. So, if this was just a publicity stunt and packaging—a superficial academic exchange facilitated by the Johnson & Johnson Group—he would rather choose to complete his training and then properly participate in the international cardiac surgery competition.

What if he traveled all the way to the Southern Country, only to find that James was just obliging Steve and the power of money? What if it was all just a few photo ops, and the surgery was a mere formality performed with one of his junior doctors? Wouldn’t that be a complete waste of a trip?

After some thought, Wu Ting decided to check with Steve first.

Wu Ting sent Steve a direct message asking:

"About Dean James, was this arranged by your Johnson & Johnson Group?"

Steve, wanting to emphasize his own importance and value, replied with a half-truth:

"Director Wu, you could say that. This academic exchange is sponsored by our Johnson & Johnson Group. I’ll arrange your round-trip tickets and the surgical fees."

"Director Wu, I look forward to our meeting at Cleveland Hospital."

Seeing this message, Wu Ting couldn’t help but blush. Scholar Jiang actually thought he had earned Dean James’s invitation on his own merit.

’In reality, this is just commercial packaging and a business operation.’

Without hesitation, Wu Ting said to Scholar Jiang:

"Scholar Jiang, I believe my focus during this period should remain on this training camp and the upcoming international competition."

"Although being invited to perform surgery at the Southern Country Cleveland Hospital is a great learning opportunity, I want to do things one step at a time and see them through. If there’s a chance in the future, I can go to the Southern Country for study and exchange then."

After hearing Wu Ting’s reply, Scholar Jiang was actually quite pleased. He greatly admired Wu Ting’s down-to-earth attitude and his calm, unhurried nature.

"Understood. I will decline Dean James’s invitation on your behalf. You just focus on preparing for this international competition."

"Later, I will find an opportunity to personally take you to visit Professor James."

After telling Wu Ting to return to class, Scholar Jiang called James directly.

James had never imagined Wu Ting would refuse.

’Don’t I, the Dean of the Southern Country Cleveland Hospital, have any pull anymore?’

’The Asia-Pacific Region’s International Cardiovascular Surgery Competition invited me to be a judge several times, and I didn’t even go...’

James felt frustrated and wronged. ’Has my influence in Jinzhou really dwindled this much?’

James thought about it and decided he needed to speak with Wu Ting personally.

He got the number from Steve and dialed it directly.

But the first call was immediately hung up.

James patiently dialed again.

This time, the call connected with Wu Ting.

Dean James glanced at Steve, thinking he should first use Steve’s name to build rapport and get closer to Wu Ting before making his request:

"Director Wu, I’m a friend of Steve from the Johnson & Johnson Group... This is an academic exchange event sponsored by the Johnson & Johnson Group. We’ll reimburse your round-trip airfare and offer a considerable remuneration... I will also be inviting some expert professors from the field of cardiac surgery, as well as some friends from the media..."

The more Wu Ting listened to James, the more he felt this was just a commercial packaging event by the Johnson & Johnson Group. It would surely be full of staged photo ops. If he couldn’t perform a real collaborative surgery and acquire new skill sets, what was the point of traveling all the way to the Southern Country?

’I’m not short on money, I’d be better off grinding for skill sets at the training camp.’

Wu Ting thanked him politely and courteously, expressing that he was very moved before declining the invitation to this "performance."

Hearing the dial tone, James was completely stunned.

’I’ve offered such a comprehensive package, and he still refused?’

’Is this Asia-Pacific Region Cardiovascular Surgery Skills Competition really that important?’

’If I wanted to, I could easily launch a global international competition in the name of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association.’

James considered it carefully. Wu Ting’s Hybrid Technology and brand-new products were indeed the best surgical plan for An Qier.

After some thought, James made a momentous decision.

James called the patient’s family. Given James’s status and reputation, the family, though finding it incredible, readily agreed to his proposal.

James decided to personally bring the patient to Qinghe City Fuwai Hospital to find Wu Ting and perform the surgery.

At the same time, James decided to talk to the organizing committee of the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition. He was preparing to serve as a head judge to let those young doctors in the Asia-Pacific Region get to know the Dean of Cleveland Hospital, the President of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association, the creator of numerous clinical guidelines in cardiac surgery—Professor "Domineering" James!

The call connected:

"Hello, Director Wu, this is Dr. James. I also feel that inviting you to come here for the surgery was a bit abrupt and inappropriate. So how about this, would it be possible for me to bring the patient to Fuwai Hospital and invite you to perform this surgery with me?"

"How about you just treat this surgery as one of your afternoon clinical practices?"

"I will communicate with Scholar Jiang and have him invite some domestic cardiac surgery experts and professors to participate in this surgery as well."

After Professor "Humble" James finished explaining his second proposal.

Over the phone, Wu Ting decisively agreed.

Receiving Wu Ting’s affirmative answer, Professor James finally let out a long sigh of relief.

In order to collaborate with Wu Ting and perform the world’s first surgery for a rare aortic aneurysm using Hybrid Technology, a trip to Jin Country was well worth it.

This would also be a perfect opportunity to discuss the matter of him writing a monograph with Dr. Wu Ting.

Dean James’s plan to invite cardiac surgery experts from Jin Country to join the judging panel of the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition was all to make Wu Ting recognize him fully, correctly, and objectively!

On the other end of the line.

When Wu Ting heard that Professor James was willing to come in person and even invite a group of experts to the surgery, his attitude changed instantly. How could he miss such an opportunity to fleece some sheep?

Wu Ting immediately agreed.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for arranging a major academic exchange with Dean James of Cleveland Hospital. You have acquired a skill set from Professor James: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Purple). A traditional surgical procedure mastered by Professor James. He is known as the encyclopedia among Technicians of his generation, possessing an endless variety of techniques. Even when not using his signature Surgical Techniques, he is still able to achieve a first-class level.]

[You have acquired a skill set from Professor James: Concept of Off-Pump Extracorporeal Circulation (Purple). Professor James has drawn from many sources to obtain a conceptual idea, but unfortunately, it has not yet been concretely implemented.]

[Ding! Synthesize skill sets? Concept of Off-Pump Extracorporeal Circulation (Purple) + Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Purple) + Extracorporeal Circulation Technique (Purple) + Master of Hybrid Technology (Black) = Hybrid Auxiliary Technique: Beating-Heart Technology (Black). A groundbreaking and great technique that uses extracorporeal circulation to maintain hemodynamic stability while avoiding cardiac arrest and aortic cross-clamping. It is a pioneering method of coronary revascularization.]

[Note: This technique will become one of the most important auxiliary techniques for Hybrid Technology, enabling a massive leap forward in the scope and indications for this emerging discipline!]

Looking at the explanation of this skill set, Wu Ting was ecstatic. With this beating-heart technology, Hybrid Technology now had the potential to become a new, emerging discipline.

This was no longer just a research topic or a single Surgical Technique, but a new discipline!

Wu Ting grew even more excited for his monograph on Hybrid Technology to be written. Once this book was born, the discipline of Hybrid Technology would officially come into being.

And he would become the founder and pioneer of a brand-new discipline in this era!

Wu Ting thought of his "Builder of a High-Level Medical College (Red)" skill set and grew even more excited.

Seeing Wu Ting so thrilled and excited.

Professor Lin from Union, who was lecturing, was slightly displeased. This Wu Ting had already stepped out several times during his class.

Professor Lin issued a verbal warning.

Wu Ting, looking very apologetic, returned to his seat.

Hu Zhipeng asked curiously:

"Director Wu, what was that call that made you so happy?"

Wu Ting didn’t hide it:

"Professor James from Cleveland Hospital said he’s coming to Fuwai to collaborate with me on a surgery. And based on that, they’ll hold an academic exchange event."

Hearing this, Hu Zhipeng shot Wu Ting a look, clearly thinking he was joking.

Professor James was a god-tier figure in cardiac surgery.

The President of the International Cardiovascular Surgery Association, the creator of multiple clinical guidelines in cardiac surgery—even the Asia-Pacific Region’s international competition couldn’t get him to come as a judge.

’He’s going to come all this way to perform a joint surgery with you and hold an academic exchange event?’

Hu Zhipeng didn’t pay it much mind and went back to listening to the lecture.

...

...

After the morning classes were over, everyone quickly ate lunch and hurried back to their dorms to review.

Hu Zhipeng also took pictures of the parts of his morning notes that Wu Ting had missed and sent them to him.

Next up was the regular afternoon session of clinical practice teaching.
