Saturday afternoon, Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.

Jiang Hao arrived at the dean's office, pushed the door open, and found that he was the last to arrive. Dr. Yu and Dr. Lei were already there, sipping tea with Dean Cheng in the reception area.

After a simple greeting, Jiang Hao sat down and poured himself a cup of tea.

Cheng Xingguang took a sip of tea and said, "Shi Zhenlin's family has been placated, and the subsequent additional surgery costs have been waived. At the same time, we promised that the second surgery will be performed by the director of the plastic surgery department personally."

"Didn't he insist on having Expert Lin take over the second surgery?" Jiang Hao asked in confusion.

Cheng Xingguang sneered and said, "I told him that given Shi Zhenlin's current situation, if Expert Lin were to perform the surgery, the cost would not be less than 150,000 yuan, and then he no longer insisted."

Dr. Yu drank his cup of tea in one gulp and said dissatisfiedly, "I believe I performed very well in this surgery, almost perfectly."

"If it weren't for Expert Lin using his advantage as a general practitioner to pull off such a stunt, we would be receiving gratitude from the patient's family, not complaints."

Cheng Xingguang furrowed his brows and said, "The surgery timing was something you decided yourselves."

"If the surgery timings were staggered, you could have observed and learned from Expert Lin's surgery beforehand."

"At the very least, the patient's family would have known in advance that if Expert Lin were to perform the surgery, only one operation would be needed, rather than finding out during surgery and generating such a severe negative reaction."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Yu's expression stiffened.

He took the lead in deciding the surgery timing, and at the time, he certainly had a competitive mindset against Lin Jie, but now he felt quite embarrassed.

"Alright, what's done is done, let's not dwell on it. I assume you've all studied the video of Expert Lin's surgery?"

Cheng Xingguang's gaze swept over the three present and said, "Share your thoughts!"

Dr. Yu was the first to speak, "Expert Lin's advantage as a general practitioner was fully displayed in this surgery. This extraordinary medical talent is something we can't match; I'm truly in awe of him."

He clicked his tongue and said, "Counting the subsequent plastic surgery, Expert Lin was basically dealing with a one-against-four situation. It's really powerful; we can't compare at all."

Cheng Xingguang nodded calmly and shifted his gaze to Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao lightly turned the teacup in his hand and said, "Expert Lin's handling of surgical details is impeccable."

"Throughout the long surgery, I didn't see a single mistake. Furthermore, every surgical action was simple, direct, efficient, and precise, without any superfluous moves."

"This precise control not only saved Expert Lin a lot of energy and physical exertion but also minimized harm to the patient."

He continued, "After noticing this, I specifically reviewed a few cases of surgeries previously performed by Expert Lin."

"Compared to other patients with similar conditions, those patients recovered noticeably faster, generally being discharged three to five days earlier."

"What I'm more impressed with... is Expert Lin's focus, energy allocation, and execution!"

Lei Jun slowly began, "I deliberately captured Expert Lin's surgical movements at various stages: the beginning, after two hours, four hours, six hours, and towards the end, and made a comparison."

With an expression of admiration, he said, "In those time intervals, Expert Lin's surgical movements barely changed, like a high-precision, never-fatigued robot."

"This level of control and concentration truly surprised me."

Cheng Xingguang summarized, "General practice advantage, attention to detail, precise, straightforward, efficient surgical actions, strong self-control, and sustained focus—these numerous strengths combined in one person allow Expert Lin to accomplish high-difficulty surgeries that others cannot complete."

Looking at Dr. Yu, he pointedly said, "We can say that an extraordinary learning talent enables Lin Jie to possess unparalleled general practice advantages over others."

"However, perfectly mastered technical actions, long-term strict self-control, and an almost abnormal attention to detail can't just be attributed to talent."

Cheng Xingguang calmly said, "Talent determines the height one can reach, but effort determines our current achievements. I believe you all understand this principle."

"In fact, the level of effort most people exert hasn't reached the point where talent is the deciding factor."

Cheng Xingguang chuckled and said, "I rambled on for a bit; I'm sure you're tired of it. This morning, I sent you Expert Lin's comments on your surgeries. Have you read them, and any insights?"

"Of course there are insights, quite a few indeed!"

After sipping some tea, Dr. Yu gently placed the teacup on the coffee table and said, "I realized there were a few minor errors in trivial areas during the surgery."

"I learned that when cutting vessels with a diameter of more than three millimeters, a thirty-degree angle is optimal, and that if I raised my right arm by another ten degrees, it would be smoother to perform the incision."

"I also learned..."

Saying this, Dr. Yu shook his head and said somewhat disappointedly, "Dean Cheng, everyone in the hospital says Expert Lin is someone who doesn't keep knowledge to himself and shares everything with others."

"However, in this feedback video, I sensed a bit of pettiness from him."

Cheng Xingguang pursued this line of questioning, "Oh, how so?"

Dr. Yu straightened his back and explained, "In the video, he pointed out only tiny errors that wouldn't affect the patient's condition or some habitual actions of mine."

"Yet, he didn't indicate a single improvement method that caught my eye or an error that deeply resonated with me."

He smiled faintly and said, "I suspect that either Expert Lin didn't notice."

"Or, Expert Lin noticed, but out of consideration for our face and reluctance, he didn't want to bring it up, so he resorted to these trivial suggestions to placate us."

Cheng Xingguang's face darkened, as what Dr. Yu was insinuating was that Lin Jie was being selfish.

Just as he was about to refute, Jiang Hao spoke up.

"Dr. Yu, I disagree with your assessment."

"At our level, to be blunt, we do have some recognition."

"Being called experts by patients, we can accept that with some justification. But if, in a surgery, we make obvious mistakes or errors, do we still have the rights to stand at the operating table for the patients?"

He said earnestly, "What holds us back from progressing are some ingrained bad habits we've formed subconsciously, and some oversights we've not realized."

"In this video, Expert Lin pointed out a total of thirty-five seemingly insignificant mistakes and minor flaws I made, each of which I verified, and found that by following Expert Lin's guidance, indeed I made progress."

Jiang Hao said with gratitude, "Standing at the peak and further advancing is the hardest part. Expert Lin's guidance can be said to have pointed me in the direction to progress."

"Also, I want to emphasize that Expert Lin was absolutely not perfunctory with us."

"I can be sure that Expert Lin watched the surgical video very thoroughly, which is why he could point out so many subtle mistakes of ours."

Dr. Yu snorted, unconvinced, and said, "You're a neurosurgeon with high demands for precision, missing by a little can be off by a mile, naturally, you pay extra attention to this."[

He looked at Lei Jun beside him, and asked, "Dr. Lei, what do you think of Expert Lin's nitpicking-like guidance?"

Lei Jun pondered for a moment and said seriously, "There's an ancient saying about a teacher who imparted a single word, and just for Expert Lin's meticulous guidance, I will treat him as my mentor in the future."

Dr. Yu's face couldn't help but change.

He stood up with a dark expression, and said, "You all elevate Lin Jie to the heavens, that's your matter."

"I've reached my position now without relying on anyone; it's all through my real skills, step by step, earnestly."

"Without Lin Jie, I'm still who I am."

After saying this, he angrily left the dean's office.

Watching his figure disappear beyond the office door, Cheng Xingguang shook his head disappointedly and said, "It's also good that he's gone, there's something I need to tell you guys."

"After discussions within the institution, it's decided to establish a special fund, investing at least one hundred million yuan annually, selecting ten promising young and middle-aged doctors for focused cultivation."

"The goal for cultivation is to become top-notch domestically and renowned internationally."

He said solemnly, "And both of you are the first batch selected."

"The hospital will provide all possible conditions and resources to help you enhance your medical skills..."

Back home, Lin Miao hugged Lele who ran towards her, patted its head, and admonished, "Lele, how many times have I told you, you're grown and heavy now, you can't pounce on people like you did when you were little."

She put Lele down, went to the kitchen, saw that Zhang Xiaoxiao was preparing dinner, and asked, "Xiaoxiao, is my brother at home?"

"He's in the study! Except for coming out at noon to eat, he hasn't come out all day."

Zhang Xiaoxiao instructed again, "Miaomiao, go get your brother out, let him relax a bit, constantly working is not good."

Lin Miao responded, ran upstairs quickly, directly pushed open the study door, and saw Lin Jie standing in front of the large display on the north wall of the study, watching the CT images shown on it.

Lin Miao looked at the right side wall, hundreds of professional books and journals in the upright bookshelf, the prominently placed surgical emergency kit, medical first aid kit, emergency surgical pack, stethoscope, and the multifunctional diagnostic chair in front of the desk, felt more and more like this was a doctor's workspace.

"Brother, are you researching little Lucy's case?"

Seeing Lin Jie nod, Lin Miao asked, somewhat nervously, "Does she have hope of regaining her sight?"

Lin Jie said, "Lucy has retinal nerve underdevelopment issues. The main problem exists at the connection with the optic nerve, where the retinal nerve development is severely degraded, and the quantity is sparse."

"To give an example, there should be a hundred strands of retinal nerve fibers extending here to connect with the optic nerve, but only one successfully reached here; the other ninety-nine gradually disappear midway."

Lin Miao approached Lin Jie, looking at the CT images she could not understand at all, she asked, "Brother, in such a case, do you have a treatment method?"

Lin Jie said, "There is a theoretical method, which is to elongate the optic nerve fibers to directly connect and unify with the front end of the retinal nerves."

"But this method, even under a high-power microscope, is as difficult as joining spider silk, the operational challenge is extremely high..."

Lin Miao turned to Lin Jie, expectantly asking, "Brother, you can do it, can't you?"

Lin Jie smiled, put his arm around her shoulders, and said, "Who am I, your brother, how could I let you down."

"I've already contacted Freddy, to bring little Lucy to the hospital next Wednesday for admission procedures..."
