Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1175 - 1133: There's a Chance

After enjoying an extremely sumptuous dinner, Lin Jie, An Kexin, and a few others had a foot massage and declined Nie Yuming's invitation to visit a club. They checked into a presidential suite at a five-star hotel.Checking the weather, Lin Jie found that the maximum temperature tomorrow would still be an intimidating thirty-seven degrees.

Approaching Lin Miao and An Kemeng, who were sprawled on the sofa without a care, he lightly kicked their dangling legs and said, "Tomorrow will still be hot, so let's cancel the plan to climb the Great Wall."

"For tomorrow's plan, you have two choices: visit Yihe Garden or go shopping at Wangfujing."

Lin Miao lazily sat up and said, "We can buy in Capital City what we can get in Binhai. Isn't shopping unnecessary?"

"Let's visit Yihe Garden?"

"Yes, let's go to Yihe Garden!" An Kemeng echoed softly.

At this moment, An Kexin, in her pajamas and holding a phone, emerged from the master bedroom and said, "Ah Jie, the resolution from Tongren Hospital West Branch has come out. They've fired the doctor who tried to steal the video data."

"Dean Tao even personally came to Anlin Hospital to apologize and expressed a commitment to strengthen hospital management."

Lin Jie nodded slightly, and An Kexin continued, "I also had a phone call with Dad."

"He said the other shareholders have no objections to cooperating with the military. We can decide these matters ourselves."

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "First, plan the top hundred world hospital renowned physician consultation event. Once the plan is ready, I'll contact General Yuan."

"According to him, the field hospital can be built very quickly, in just twelve hours."

An Kexin chuckled, "I already told Dean Gong about this idea. The plan should come out in the next couple of days."

She took Lin Jie's hand, sat together on the sofa, and asked, "Ah Jie, what do you think of the Cadillac we rode today?"

Recollecting, Lin Jie said, "Not bad, luxurious interior, spacious, suitable for simple office work."

An Kexin chuckled, "Since you think it's good, let's buy one when we go back, or maybe a business van with even more space."

Lin Jie instinctively refused, "There's no need, is there? It's only been two years since we bought the Phaeton."

"Ah Jie, it's necessary!"

An Kexin persuaded, "Traveling from Anlin Hospital to Xiangtai Apartment, to Binhai University, to the Affiliated Hospital, takes at least two hours by car, and even longer with traffic jams."

"So, you need a car with enough space to rest well."

"Compared to that, the Phaeton's space feels too cramped for you to rest comfortably."

Lin Jie recalled the feeling of riding in the extended Cadillac SUV today, and indeed, the sense of space and comfort was unmatched by the Phaeton.

Thinking about how he wasn't short on money anymore, he nodded, "Alright! We don't necessarily have to buy this Cadillac One. We'll compare back in Binhai and get a cost-effective similar vehicle."

An Kexin laughed softly, "You don't have to worry about it. Let the hospital office handle it with Guan Muhua and Qin Gang."

"As the major shareholder, spokesperson, and chief medical expert of Anlin Hospital, having the hospital provide you with a high-end ride is quite appropriate."

Knowing he wouldn't be paying out of pocket, Lin Jie was even more pleased.

Just then, Lin Jie's phone rang.

He picked up the phone and was somewhat surprised to see it was a call from Sun Hexu, the master of traditional Chinese medicine of Capital City.

"Mr. Sun, hello!" Lin Jie answered the call politely.

"Expert Lin, hello, congratulations on your promotion to General!"

Sun Hexu's familiar voice came through the phone, "Expert Lin, do you have any plans for tomorrow? If you're free, I'd like to play host and arrange a lunch or dinner?"

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Sun."

"There's no need to arrange anything. Friends are already hosting us. We'll casually stroll around Capital City tomorrow and return to Binhai in the afternoon. There are still many affairs at Anlin Hospital, and I can't leave for too long."

A gentle "oh" came from the phone, followed by Sun Hexu's voice again, "Expert Lin, to be honest, someone has sought me out, wanting to meet you."

Lin Jie had an inkling and asked directly, "Is it cancer?"

"It's not cancer! It's congenital heart disease that requires a heart transplant. Expert Lin, we're right near your hotel now. Can we meet?"

Lin Jie knew this must be the patient Ye Lang mentioned.

With intentions to refuse, but unable to disregard the favor of Mr. Sun Hexu, he agreed to the meeting request.

A few minutes later, Lin Jie met Sun Hexu, along with a middle-aged man in his forties, in the reception room.

"Expert Lin, this is Gao Yao!"

After introducing the man, Sun Hexu apologized, "I am really sorry for disturbing your rest, Expert Lin."

He further explained, "Expert Lin, Gao Yao's daughter is sixteen this year with a heart condition from birth. It's like she grew up little by little on the Chinese herbs I prescribed."

"But as she grows older, the heart condition worsens, and even I am at a loss now."

Sun Hexu sighed, "According to Western medicine, heart transplantation is the only way to completely cure it. The child's father has sought me out, and said that perhaps you, Expert Lin, have a solution."

"Expert Lin, I'm thick-skinned and have come to ask for your help today."

Lin Jie politely said, "Mr. Sun, to say 'ask for help' is too much; it's all out of a physician's heart."

At this moment, Lin Miao and An Kemeng served hot tea to the three people, and then sat obediently to the side.

Lin Jie looked at Gao Yao, who seemed full of anticipation, and directly asked, "You should have heard my reply from Ye Lang, right?"

Gao Yao nodded, saying awkwardly, "Yes, Expert Lin."

"Ye Lang and I have known each other for a long time, and I understand his character and actions very well."

"A few days ago, he approached me on his own initiative and talked about you, Expert Lin. He told me that Young Master Ye is a major shareholder of Anlin Hospital."

"He also said that given his relationship with Young Master Ye, having him step in to ask you for help should be very easy."

"With Expert Lin's reputation and status in the medical field, stepping in to coordinate a transplanted heart for my little girl shouldn't be a big problem."

Gao Yao rubbed his face forcefully with both hands to refresh himself, and continued, "My daughter was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at birth. The doctor said her heart condition is too complicated to be resolved with surgery."

"The doctor said that with the endurance of my daughter's heart, it's hard to live past twelve."

"We didn't accept fate and sought medical help everywhere. With the help of the old doctor Sun, my daughter lived past twelve and is now sixteen. However, her condition has also become more severe."

Gao Yao rubbed his face again, saying bitterly, "We've been waiting for a heart suitable for transplantation, but after so many years, we have never found a suitable heart donor."

He added, "Expert Lin, my daughter's blood type is Rh negative type A blood!"

Lin Jie immediately understood why his daughter had not found a suitable heart for transplantation all these years.

Rh negative blood, also known as panda blood, accounts for about one in a thousand of the population's blood types.

Heart organ transplantation requires three conditions: first, the blood type must be the same or comply with blood transfusion principles, second, the weight of donor and recipient must not exceed twenty percent difference, and third, HLA matching (i.e., organ transplant matching) must be over two points.

The chance of finding a suitable heart donor for a heart transplant is only one in a thousand, and adding the chance of panda blood is another one in a thousand, making it almost impossible to meet both conditions.

Also, Lin Jie could imagine that a little girl suffering from heart disease for so many years must be very thin.

Even if a suitable heart donor is found, if the donor is an adult with too large a heart, the little girl's small chest cavity would not be able to accommodate it.

With so many factors in play, finding a suitable heart for the little girl could only be described as a "miracle."

Lin Jie listened to Gao Yao continue, "We also know that Ye Lang is somewhat unreliable, and he approached us with ulterior motives, but we have no other options, we can say we're desperate and can only ask him to try."

"The result, of course, was disappointing, you, Expert Lin, refused."

"However, the reply Ye Lang conveyed to us gave us a glimmer of hope."

"What hope?" Lin Jie was somewhat puzzled.

Gao Yao took a deep breath and said seriously, "The heart of a cancer patient."

"With so many cancer patients around the world every year, if cancer patients' hearts can be donated, wouldn't the donor pool increase significantly? That would mean a much greater chance for my little girl to find a suitable heart donor."

Lin Jie couldn't help but remind, "Don't think about that, it's strictly prohibited in medicine."

Gao Yao implored, "Expert Lin, please help us."

"Even if it just lets my little girl live a few more years, or even a few more months, we would be overjoyed. She is everything to us, we can't bear her leaving."

"We also know that using organs from cancer patients for transplants is prohibited."

"However, with Expert Lin's reputation and status in the medical field, submitting an application to the health department in the name of a medical trial could likely be approved."

"Expert Lin, please! Expert Lin, please!"

"We're truly desperate about waiting for a healthy transplant heart for my little girl, and we can't afford to wait any longer."

Seeing Gao Yao pleading with reddened eyes, Lin Jie was quite troubled.

Requesting special approval from the health department in the name of a medical trial is something Lin Jie is quite confident in securing.

But, using the organs of cancer patients, this could very likely be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, neither adding up to a good option.

Lin Jie thought for a moment and said, "Let me see your daughter's medical records, I'll first see how long she can hold on!"

He also reassured, "Miracles are everywhere, maybe you'll find a suitable heart tomorrow."

Gao Yao hurriedly handed over the medical records and a large stack of examination documents, "Expert Lin, the medical records!"

Lin Jie took the documents, first picking up the heart imaging to look at against the light.

After a glance, he was slightly stunned, muttering to himself, "There seems to be a possibility for surgical cure..."

More than two hours later, having carefully gone through all the medical records, Lin Jie said to the eagerly anticipating Gao Yao, "Send your daughter to Anlin Hospital, I need to perform a detailed examination on her again."

"As for the possibility of surgical cure, I can only say for now, there is certain hope..."

After sending off the very excited Gao Yao and Sun Hexu, An Kexin, who was beside, said softly, "A-Jie, didn't you say you'd take on fewer surgeries in the future? Why do I feel like you're really excited about this patient?"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Taking on fewer surgeries doesn't mean not taking any at all."

"Your feeling is spot on, I'm a bit excited."

He put his arm around An Kexin's waist and said, "Kexin, to exaggerate a bit, there are very few cases that make me feel challenged and excited these days."

"This girl's surgery is one of them."
