Surgery Godfather

Chapter 303: Chapter 0287 A Generous Gift

Sisi was about to undergo her third surgery, and Duan Xiaoming of the Gamma Knife Department in Sanbo Hospital was very excited, he had prepared the operating room early.

Brother Ming, once disheartened about his career prospects and adopting an attitude of resigned despair, now found the fire in his heart reignited.

Yang Ping’s treatment of Sisi’s tumor showcased the tremendous power of the Gamma Knife. Regaining his professional confidence, Brother Ming decided to strive for a successful career, no longer just coasting through life.

Through the simulated surgery on Sisi, Yang Ping had also accumulated some experience with the Gamma Knife. He applied this knowledge when treating uterine fibroids.

He then guided Duan Xiaoming, providing a set of Gamma Knife parameter ranges for patients of different heights and weights. This allowed him to operate within the set parameters, yielding good results and minimal side effects.

Duan Xiaoming tested these methods and data on several patients. As expected, the results were very good. Although it did not achieve the same effect as Yang Ping’s treatment of Sisi’s tumor, the treatment effectiveness had increased several times compared to his previous treatments.

Not only were the results good, but the side effects were also minimal. No patients experienced skin burns, vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or bloating.

The operation of treating uterine fibroids without surgery was truly achieved; Brother Ming decided to seize this opportunity firmly.

“Doctor Yang, your methods indeed yield good results with fewer side effects, you’re really amazing.”

“This is based on the ultrasound characteristics of the Gamma Knife, combined with the patient’s anatomy data, and the set parameters. It’s all about accumulating experience.” Yang Ping was helping adjust Sisi’s position to provide the most advantageous position for surgery.

“Big brother, I heard that the uncle with the belt went bankrupt and was discharged from the hospital because he couldn’t afford his treatment?”

“Yes, but don’t worry, he will continue his treatment in the outpatient department, his condition won’t be neglected.”

“He’s quite pitiful. I heard from my mom that he sings on the overpass. I want to go see him.”

“You can ask your mom to take you there in the wheelchair.”

After properly adjusting Sisi’s position, Fatty administered some medicine into Sisi’s vein to put her under intravenous general anesthesia, for treating the tumor in her lung. The ultrasound needed to be sent in through the intercostal space. If it’s off by a little bit, it could be blocked by a rib.

So the entire process was handled with extreme caution; Every shot had to be very precise. Yang Ping was confident in using the data the system had figured out from the previous two successful operations. He firmly believed this one would be successful too.

If this operation was successful, Sisi’s life could be extended. How long it would be extended depended on the speed at which the remaining tumor cells rebounded.

Radiotherapy has certain ionizing radiation side effects, but ultrasound doesn’t have these side effects. If precise attacks could be achieved, it would be almost perfect.

If the tumor cells rebounded, Yang Ping decided to perform surgery for Sisi again. He would simulate the surgery in a system space, obtain precise attack data, and then use these data to perform the surgery on Sisi.

After the surgery, Sisi’s breathing was not problematic. Yang Ping used some drugs to liquify phlegm for her to do oxygen nebulization. The tumor cells were killed by the heat energy from the ultrasound, dissolved and absorbed. Some of them would enter the trachea through the bronchi, becoming phlegm and being coughed up.

Nebulization treatment could decompose and liquefy this phlegm, making it easier to cough up.

In the afternoon, Sisi counted her New Year’s money, and then her parents added some more money, a total of three thousand yuan, and put it into an envelope.

Three thousand yuan was a considerable amount for this family. Although the money donated by kind-hearted people to Sisi’s account temporarily relieved her treatment worries, Sisi’s dad still continuously deposited money into it.

Upon hearing of Hermes’ bankruptcy and that he was singing on the overpass, the kind-hearted couple agreed with their daughter’s suggestion to pool some money together, and donate it to Hermes. Even though it wasn’t a lot, it was their sincerity.

“Mom, do you think he’ll accept it?”

“I don’t know.”

Mother pushed Sisi to the overpass, where Hermes, leaning on crutches, was passionately singing “Sea and Sky”. The overpass was crowded with spectators, many of whom were patients from the hospital, moved by his singing.

Hermes saw Sisi in the crowd. She had the same external fixation frame on her leg as Hermes. Hermes waved and said hello to Sisi.

When they were hospitalized, they were the longest-term patients in the Orthopedics department. Although they often bumped into each other in the hallway, they usually just greeted each other with smiles and didn’t engage in much verbal communication.

After the song ended, Sisi pushed her wheelchair over and handed him the thick envelope: “Uncle, hang in there. Nothing can defeat you, everything will pass. Your life will be vast, like the sea and sky. This is my little contribution, hope it can help you.”

Hermes received the envelope with tears in his eyes, patting her head. He didn’t expect the little girl to remember him.

At this point, she was still thinking about helping him. Hermes held the thick envelope: “Uncle is well now, and he appreciates your kindness.”

“I heard from some brothers and sisters that you went bankrupt, penniless, couldn’t afford treatment, and are now singing on the bridge. That’s why I came looking for you, you really have to take it. This is all my New Year’s money.” Sisi insisted.

Hermes was touched and somewhat choked up. The heavy envelope in his hand reminded him of how understanding this child was. He decided to temporarily accept the envelope, not wanting to hurt the child’s feelings.

“Uncle will accept your kindness for now. You also have to keep fighting, you’re the best. I know your name is Sisi.” Hermes shook the envelope.

“I also know, you are Hermes, Uncle Belt, haha, such an interesting name.” Sisi giggled.

“Uncle does not have a Hermes now, but uncle likes that name!” Hermes touched his belt.

He took Sisi’s hand and continued singing on the overpass. Sisi was bobbing her head and snapping her fingers to the beat.

The crowd looked at the couple, deeply moved. They threw their spare change at their feet. Hermes waved his hand, persistently collecting the money from the ground to return to everyone.

“I heard this guy used to be a billionaire, but now he has nothing, he can’t even afford his treatment.”

“Ahh… life is a drama, it’s pretty pathetic. His wife will run away with someone else sooner or later.”

“What’s the point of having money? Look at him, he’s worse off than us now. Don’t be deceived by the glitz and glamour of the wealthy, they could go bankrupt any moment. There are also many who jump off buildings out of desperation.”

“Exactly. That’s why we shouldn’t envy those with money.”

“Why didn’t he keep the money? Wasn’t he singing for money?”

The crowd was buzzing with chatter. Many of them were patients from the hospital, taking a walk for fresh air. Attracted by the singing, they gathered on the overpass.

“Uncle, keep it up! I come to hear you sing every day, and to cheer you on. Look, you still have such a beautiful lady and all our support.”

It was time for Sisi to return to her ward. Hermes and his wife waved her goodbye.

Sisi continually turned around, clenching her fist to mimic the action of cheering with all her might towards Hermes.

Hermes had become a fixture on the hospital overpass. Some beggars saw an opportunity and formed a line with their bowls in hand whenever he began singing, hoping for some good fortune.

Xiao Su had informed her parents that she would be working in the hospital over Chinese New Year.

“Old Su, is our child going to work during Chinese New Year?”

“If she has to work, she has to work. It’s fine!”

“Didn’t you visit Sanbo last time you had a meeting? How is she doing in her love life?”

“She’s currently in the throes of a passionate relationship. Xiao Yang is quite ambitious, he managed to successfully complete a surgery that even the Japanese failed to perform at a Sanbo academic conference.”

“Old Su, have you ever considered bringing them both over to the hospital here? After all-”

Professor Su waved his hand: “Don’t worry about the children. They’re doing fine. Xiao Yang is highly regarded there. Both Old Zou and Old Huang indirectly hinted at me that they wished to handle things without my interference and bring Xiao Yang over. I prevented them.”

“Their platform there is rather limited. If they regard Xiao Yang so highly, they should nurture him well. Our daughter, she’s dating Xiao Yang and hasn’t mentioned it. We can only pretend that we don’t know,” said Mrs. Su as she tidied Professor Su’s study.

“She has her own considerations. I suspect that they plan on presenting a substantial gift as a token of respect when they meet us,” Professor Su speculated.

“A token of respect? We don’t need any. Are you implying that she wants to present us with a grandson before she introduces Xiao Yang to us? That’s not acceptable! Our Su family is of scholarly heritage.”

“You have quite an imagination. Our girl is well-educated, she won’t behave recklessly. She has her own plans and introducing Xiao Yang to us rashly would not only alarm us but also unsettle the aunts and uncles of the Su family. She wants to use this token of respect to shut their mouths.”

In the next generation of Su Qingyun’s siblings, Su Yixuan is the only girl, so her boyfriend would naturally be the focus of the Su family.

“Does our little girl have such scheming thoughts?” Mrs. Su poured more tea for Professor Su.

Professor Su was confident: “You underestimate her. She’s quite clever. You may not know this, but I believe they fell in love a long time ago, well before Nanchen’s birthday party. We were kept in the dark.”

“No way, how did you find out,” Mrs. Su did not believe it.

Professor Su smiled and said, “Do you remember when Nanchen asked Xiao Yang to the hospital for a consultation? The security department informed me that someone drove Xiao Xuan’s car into the underground garage of the hospital and asked me to confirm it.”

“I called Xiao Xuan at the time, and she insisted that her car was definitely parked in Sanbo Hospital’s parking lot and there would be no problem.”

“Since that was the case, I didn’t instruct the security department to investigate further. But in hindsight, something wasn’t right. Our little girl had us fooled.”

Professor Su and his wife naturally knew their daughter well and trusted her. Professor Su had always thought highly of Yang Ping, considering him to be a rare talent.

The relationship between Yang Ping and Su Nanchen was already deep. After Su Nanchen’s assessment, they considered Yang Ping to be a man of talent and virtue. They were satisfied with him as their future son-in-law.

If they wanted to spend Chinese New Year together, let them spend it together. Why bother disturbing this pair of lovebirds?

Professor Su didn’t wish to disrupt his daughter’s rhythm. Being her father, he understood her best and had the utmost faith in her judgement and choices.

As for what type of substantial gift the two youngsters were planning to prepare, Professor Su hadn’t figured it out yet.

Young people sure have profound thoughts!
