"Oh, what adorable little monkeys!"
Seeing the few monkeys in the iron cage, Fang Huanru was full of joy, and Gao Yanhong, Lu Xiaoyu, Wei Hongyang, and the others also showed their fondness.
These were the experimental monkeys for the research project application, and after a delay of a few days, six monkeys finally arrived on Monday afternoon.
Upon receiving the notice, Lin Jie, on Tuesday morning, brought more than ten students to the experimental animal management department of the Medical College to complete the handover procedures.
He Yimin took an apple out of her bag and handed it to one of the small monkeys in the iron cage. Watching it eat happily, she turned her head and asked, "Teacher, can I give it a name?"
Looking at the little fur monkeys in the cage, jumping around, chirping loudly, or curled up in fear, Lin Jie also felt a sense of affection. Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly remembered Shen Lanruo's advice.
His expression immediately turned stern, and he said seriously, "They don't have names, only numbers."
"They are..."
Lin Jie pointed from left to right, "Experiment No. 1 to Experiment No. 6 monkeys."
"You all very well know what their ultimate fate is. Therefore, you are not allowed to privately give them names."
"The purpose of me doing this, you all understand, right?"
"Understood!" They replied in unison.
Xiao Ganghao spoke up, "The purpose of the teacher doing this is to prevent us from developing feelings for the experimental animals. We all understand this principle, but doing it is quite difficult."
"Back then, I took care of a little white rabbit for a month due to a research project. When I personally dissected it, believe it or not, I cried like a baby."
Neither Gao Yanhong, Lu Xiaoyu, nor the others expected this person, who appeared as rugged as Zhang Fei, to be so sensitive!
Being watched by everyone, Xiao Ganghao didn't feel embarrassed at all.
He pointed at the few monkeys and said, "If that's how it was with a little white rabbit, how much more so with these adorable little monkeys."
"Therefore, we must constantly remind ourselves that they are not pets, just our experimental subjects. The best way to treat them well is to let them perform to their fullest potential in the experiment."
After saying this, he turned to look at Lin Jie, suddenly showing a pleasing smile, and pleaded, "Teacher, I can't stand these adorable little animals."
"This time, can you spare me from taking care of them?"
This... is quite the contrast!
Lin Jie was exasperated, ignoring him with disdain, and appointed, "Guo Peng, Gao Yanhong, Xiao Ganghao, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, each of you will be responsible for one experimental monkey."
"Teacher..." Xiao Ganghao looked pleading.
"This is called fighting fire with fire! As a doctor, you must overcome this!"
Lin Jie waved him aside without mercy and said sternly, "You six have ten days."
"During these ten days, I need you to feed the monkeys daily, carefully observe their living habits, body movements, facial expressions, and so on!"
"You must write observation reports every day, the more detailed, the better."
He explained patiently, "For example, when a monkey shows threats, what posture does it like to use, does it prefer body movements, or roars, or a combination of both?"
"What colors do they like? What actions or expressions do they use to express their likes? When asleep, what posture do they prefer?"
His gaze slowly swept across the carefully listening group, continuing, "The more detailed and meticulous your records are..."
"Then..."
"After conducting different cranial arteriovenous replacement surgeries on these monkeys, you will have detailed data to compare and observe if any changes have occurred in any aspects."
Lin Jie pointed to his head and said deeply, "The complexity of the brain far surpasses our imagination. Humankind has been exploring, but what we understand now is just a drop in the bucket."
"Cranial arteriovenous replacement surgery may bring unexpected changes or side effects to patients, such as physiological changes, personality changes, preference changes, or even changes in intelligence, etc."
"We cannot predict what kind of change will happen, or if there will be no change at all."
"We cannot, nor do we have the conditions to conduct human trials, and these few monkeys are our only source of live experimental data."
"Therefore, your work as the six of you is very important, and I hope you won't disappoint me."
Gao Yanhong assured, "Teacher, rest assured, in these ten days, I will eat and live with Experiment No. 2, and definitely record detailed observation data!"
"Teacher, I won't let you down," Xiao Ganghao also expressed his determination.
Lin Jie nodded, saying, "I believe in you. After all, having persisted for the past few months, none of you are ones to give up easily."
He also instructed, "Fang Huanru, Xiao Ganghao, two of you are responsible here, lead them to perform a detailed check on these experimental monkeys and establish files."
After arranging things here, Lin Jie directly left and took a car to the Affiliated Hospital to meet the family of a little patient who just arrived in Binhai on Monday.
The little patient was named Lin Xiaoxiao, sharing the same surname as Lin Jie. Her father, Lin Dongfeng, was a local public servant, and her mother, Miao Han, was an employee at the post office.
After a deep conversation with Tian Xiangyu and Yan Beichen, who had specially gone to pick up Lin Xiaoxiao, they swiftly arranged their home affairs and work, and took the high-speed train to Binhai on Monday...
At nearly eleven in the noon, Lin Xiaoxiao, who had finished various medical check-ups on an empty stomach, was finally allowed to drink water and eat.
"Xiaoxiao, eat slowly, don't choke, take a sip of water first!"
Miao Han poured a cup of warm water from a thermos and let Lin Xiaoxiao drink it.
Then, she looked around the simple office, frowned slightly, and said, "Dongfeng, is this the office of that renowned expert? It's so rudimentary, it's not as luxurious as our director's office."
"Do you think he might be..."
Understanding her worries, Lin Dongfeng reassured her in a low voice, "Don't worry, he's not deceiving us."
"A famed doctor like Expert Lin is certainly busy day and night, either performing surgeries in the operation room or attending to patients, where's the time to sit in an office!"
"Only people like your director, who soak in the office all day, put so much effort into decorating it so luxuriously and comfortably."
He leaned in closer to Miao Han and spoke softly, "I have a classmate who studied for his master's at Binhai University, then stayed to work in Binhai. I finally got in touch with him through other classmates."
"Do you know how he evaluated this Expert Lin?"
Miao Han asked with concern, "How did he evaluate him?"
Lin Dongfeng said with some excitement, "He said the descriptions of Lin Jie online are true. Not only are they not exaggerated, but they are somewhat lacking."
"He also said that this Expert Lin is synonymous with miracles, not only a miracle himself but a creator of miracles."
"Xiaohan, this time our daughter finally..."
Lin Dongfeng lovingly glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was focused on eating, and didn't continue.
Miao Han clasped her hands and prayed, "If this time Xiaoxiao really can... I've decided, no more grudges with my sister-in-law, from now on, I will yield to her in everything."
Lin Dongfeng chuckled, "You said it right, it's thanks to her going to the movie, that she found out about this news."
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
They turned their heads and saw a handsome young man walk in, accompanied by Tian Xiangyu and Yan Beichen.
Having seen Lin Jie's appearance through online pictures, Lin Dongfeng and Miao Han immediately stood up, a bit nervous, a bit uneasy, and said, "Hello, Expert Lin!"
"Hello!"
After greeting, Lin Jie looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind Miao Han, showing more than half of her head, he thought he showed a warm smile, waved and gently said, "Hello, Lin Xiaoxiao!"
However, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't give him face, retreated her head, and hid behind Miao Han, not coming out.
"She's a bit shy."
Miao Han explained awkwardly, trying to pull Lin Xiaoxiao out, "Xiaoxiao, come, say hello to Expert Lin!"
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao holding tightly to Miao Han's leg, unwilling to come out, Lin Jie hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't force her. It's like this, I need to talk with you adults privately."
Miao Han and Lin Dongfeng exchanged a glance, nodded, reassured Lin Xiaoxiao a few times, let the somewhat familiar Yan Beichen stay with her, then followed Lin Jie and Tian Xiangyu out of the office into a nearby meeting room.
"I have carefully reviewed Lin Xiaoxiao's latest examination results."
"Her condition meets the requirements for the experimental treatment!"
Lin Jie straightforwardly told them, "However, I need to inform you in advance, because this is an experimental surgical treatment with no precedents."
"I cannot guarantee that this treatment will be effective."
"Even if it is effective, there might be some unimaginable complications."
Miao Han said softly, "About this, Dr. Tian has already explained to us in detail, we understand."
She sighed, "When Xiaoxiao was four or five years old, she would often fall for no reason, we used to think it was due to her unstable walking. But as she grew older, she fell more frequently."
"Sometimes, she would fall strangely while standing on flat ground. That's when we realized something wasn't right."
"We went to several hospitals and only at a major hospital in the provincial capital, was the cause of the illness identified."
"That expert told us, Xiaoxiao's condition has no treatment, and will get progressively worse, eventually leading to permanent coma due to severe cerebral ischemia…"
Miao Han wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Expert Lin, you are the last hope for our Xiaoxiao, we trust you!"
"We trust you!" Lin Dongfeng echoed.
Lin Jie nodded and said, "I will try my best to ensure the success of this experimental surgical treatment."
"Here is an agreement, you can take a careful look, to participate in this experimental treatment, this agreement is mandatory."
This agreement was drafted by Li Haoxiang at Lin Jie's request, making the same mistake again in the same place would be utterly foolish.
