Chapter 973 - 937: An Unexpected Challenge
"In the past six months, among the top ten most renowned figures in the global medical community, the doctor beside me, Lin Jie, is certainly one of them.""On this point, I believe everyone present should have no objection?"
Before Lin Jie began his academic presentation, Heinrich took the microphone and started to warm up the audience, "Even if there are still doubts about this point, the next point, I will not accept any questions or rebuttals."
"That is, Dr. Lin Jie is definitely the youngest among the world-renowned medical experts."
The conference hall immediately filled with a gentle wave of laughter.
Graduating from a medical college should take at least twenty-four or twenty-five years.
Without ten years of mixing in the medical field to accumulate some practical experience, trying to achieve something significant, how is that possible?
Perhaps only God knows why this young man from the East, not yet twenty-two, could achieve such outstanding accomplishments.
"Now, let's welcome Dr. Lin Jie, who appeared out of nowhere like a dazzling sun, to present an exciting academic report for us."
Amidst the enthusiastic applause, Lin Jie stepped forward, stood in the center of the podium, and gave a slight bow to everyone, then moved behind the lectern, turned on his laptop, and waited for the applause in the hall to die down.
However, at this moment, an Asian man suddenly left his seat and swiftly rushed onto the stage.
Such an unexpected incident immediately brought silence to the conference hall.
Heinrich, who hadn't yet left the podium, frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "Sir, if you have any questions, please wait until after Dr. Lin Jie's presentation to raise your hand and ask."
This Asian man was about forty years old, about 1.7 meters tall, with curly hair and small eyes.
He first gave Heinrich a deep bow, then stood up and said loudly in German, "Mr. President, I am Dr. Park Haikyu, studying at Heidelberg University Medical College."
"I have a question that I simply cannot suppress, and I ask for one minute of your time to inquire of Dr. Lin Jie."
"This..."
Heinrich, though wishing to have security drag this person off, found it inappropriate to do so in public, and looked inquiringly at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie, who has always been indifferent to doubts, said softly, "I can first answer his question."
"Dr. Park Haikyu, you only have one minute."
Heinrich warned once, then handed the microphone to him.
Park Haikyu took the microphone, turned to face Lin Jie, cleared his throat, and said, "Dr. Lin Jie, I have watched the videos of your two surgeries broadcasted live online."
"I must admit, the completion of these two surgeries is nothing short of perfect."
"The difficulty level of these two surgeries is known to everyone present, and they are of world-class difficulty."
"My question is..."
"Dr. Lin Jie, how many times did you practice before completing these two highly difficult live surgeries?"
"What is the success rate of the practice surgeries, ten percent, or twenty percent?"
"How many unfortunate patients, in the end, died tragically in your practice sessions?"
With the posing of his question, a buzzing sound of discussion immediately arose in the conference hall.
Many people's eyes on Lin Jie turned somewhat unfriendly.
Hearing the discussion, Park Haikyu also noticed the skeptical looks and raised his voice a little more.
"As far as I know, Dr. Lin Jie comes from the East, where the country is best at mobilizing national resources and the power of the entire population to accomplish globally attention-grabbing feats."
"Dr. Lin Jie, may I ask how many resources your country invested in cultivating you within a short period?"
"How many innocent and unfortunate patients were piled up for you to practice endlessly?"
The implication of his words was particularly vicious.
He was just short of directly accusing the domestic relevant departments of concentrating resources and disregarding patients' lives, sending them to Lin Jie merely for gaining experience to turn him into a world-renowned doctor.
However, there was a certain rationality to what he said.
As a surgeon who values both theory and practice, it is almost impossible to perform surgery with extraordinary skill without sufficient accumulation of surgical practice.
Lin Jie's age is too young, but the surgical techniques displayed in online broadcasts are of an incredibly high proficiency.
This is a contradiction that is hard to understand.
It seems that Park Haikyu's theory of endlessly sending people to him for practice had become a major possibility.
The discussion in the conference hall grew louder.
Moreover, many people stood up directly, shouting at Lin Jie, "Explain! Explain! We want an explanation!"
Cheng Xingguang, Wei Haiyuan, Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, and Pang Leshan, who were listening in the conference hall, upon understanding Park Haikyu's question from Yuan Puzhen and Han Chen's translation, were instantly enraged and wanted to get on stage to argue with him.
Yuan Puzhen pulled them back, advising, "Look, Expert Lin is not showing any signs of panic."
"Perhaps he has a counter-strategy, let's wait for Expert Lin to respond before taking any action."
Cheng Xingguang thought that made sense — in situations like this, Lin Jie handling it directly would be most effective.
However, he was somewhat worried about how Lin Jie would rebut this issue.
Internationally, incidents of smearing China are endless.
Some even reached ridiculous levels, yet there are a group of people who believe without a doubt, as if they have no brains at all.
Lin Jie, who was the focus of hundreds, gently waved his hand and made a quiet gesture, bringing an instant calm to the entire auditorium.
Lin Jie looked at Park Haikyu, who had a provocative expression, lightly laughed and asked, "Let me confirm, what you mentioned earlier about certain departments piling resources and sending a large number of patients for me to practice, do you have solid evidence, or is it just speculation?"
Park Haikyu raised his chin and loudly said, "Solid evidence?"
"I don't have it."
"However, isn't China known for doing such things? Hosting the Olympics nationwide, building giant bridges by the masses. Also, I know that death row prisoners in your country have no human rights at all."
"Although I don't have tangible evidence, this isn't a baseless guess; it's a scientifically reasoned conjecture."
"Otherwise, how do you explain your astonishing medical skills acquired almost overnight?"
Lin Jie coldly sneered and disdainfully said, "Park Haikyu, the world of geniuses is beyond your understanding."
"The world of super geniuses is even more beyond your understanding."
He looked around and noticed that nearly half, about two to three hundred people, had stood up.
Lin Jie thought to himself that even in a world-renowned medical setting, there are quite a few with no brain to be fooled so easily.
He calmly said, "This Dr. Park Haikyu accuses me of achieving my medical skills in a short time by practicing on numerous patients without regard for their lives."
"Let me ask, how many conjoined twins with cranial connections can be found worldwide for me to practice on?"
This question immediately made many people appear thoughtful.
Although there are many deformed newborns in the world every year, the proportion is relatively low.
Conjoined twins are even rarer, let alone those conjoined at the skull, especially laterally.
Those who came to listen to the report are all industry professionals, and they quickly realized that the pair of laterally cranial conjoined twins could almost certainly be the only pair in the world during that time.
Upon this realization, many people looked apologetically at Lin Jie and sat back down.
At the same time, these people also looked at Park Haikyu with dissatisfaction, realizing he deliberately raised such an eye-catching question that led them to a moment of impulsiveness, causing them to forget to think.
Lin Jie spoke again, saying, "Everyone here can investigate my health condition and find out that I underwent heart transplant surgery in May of the year before last."
"Excluding half a year for physical recovery, it means I've only had just over a year during which I could perform surgeries."
"You can imagine, in this little over a year, how proficient can you get performing surgeries every day?"
Upon saying this, the remaining hundred or so people also sat down.
They were well aware that even in over a year, doing appendectomy surgeries every day would mean performing appendectomy to near perfection at best.
As for cranial surgeries, doing two cases a week would be about right.
Makeshift surgeries of seven to eight hours, or even more than ten hours, every day?
You'd be exhausted within two weeks.
At this time, Goebbels walked onto the stage, took the microphone from Park Haikyu, and began, "I am Wolfgang von Goebbels, Doctor of Neurosurgery, sixty-one years old this year."
"I have been practicing medicine for thirty-two years and have performed over three thousand major and minor surgeries as the chief surgeon. The surgeries I've performed are numerous, and the experience I've accumulated is abundant."
"However, I can frankly tell you that there is still a certain gap between my surgical skills and Dr. Lin Jie's."
Goebbels glanced at Lin Jie and continued, "You may wonder why Dr. Lin Jie, so young, possesses world-class medical skills."
"I may give you an explanation..."
Again, he looked at Lin Jie, and seeing no objection from him, continued, "As far as I know, Dr. Lin Jie possesses astonishing image-based memory and conceptual thinking abilities."
"What does this mean?"
He handed the microphone to his left hand and gestured with his right hand, "With these abilities, Dr. Lin Jie can construct a nearly realistic operating table in his mind and perform simulated surgeries repeatedly on patients."
Goebbels looked at Park Haikyu and said, "Your question of whether Dr. Lin Jie's medical skills were accumulated through massive practice is valid."
"However, you are mistaken in one aspect."
"Dr. Lin Jie's amount of practice is not done in reality, on actual patients."
He pointed to his head and continued, "Dr. Lin Jie practices efficiently and with continual correction in his brain virtually."
"Moreover, this practice causes Dr. Lin Jie's consciousness to react with his muscles, creating muscle memory, allowing him to swiftly gain exceptional surgical skills."
Goebbels sighed, "Dr. Lin Jie was right; the world of geniuses is beyond our understanding."
"Therefore, we cannot use the understanding and conventions of ordinary people to speculate on the methods of a genius."
"Especially considering Dr. Lin Jie is a super genius."
Goebbels' final remarks were clearly a rebuke to Park Haikyu.
Under the gaze of everyone in the auditorium, Park Haikyu awkwardly smiled and bowed his head as he returned to his seat.
"Alright, let's give the floor to Dr. Lin Jie."
"Please begin his report on how to quickly and accurately locate blood clots in the cranium..."
