Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1040 - 1004: Scheming for the Wedding Cash Gifts

After dinner, Lin Jie's students, Zhou Ziyan, and the military doctors from the annex gathered in the meeting room.Once everyone was present, Tian Xiangyu was the first to stand up and speak: "Before we start the discussion, I'd like to announce something on behalf of the teacher."

"This Saturday, the teacher's studio will hold a spring outing at Qushui Garden. All single men and women are welcome to participate actively."

He purposely looked at Song Licheng, Lu Xiaoyu, Gao Yanhong, Ma Hongmin, and others, and smiled: "Feel free to participate, we will take care of the work for you that day."

"All things are reviving, the season of love has arrived."

Amid the laughter, the medical discussion began.

This was the task assigned to them by Lin Jie, asking them to discuss the drip infusion locations for inducers and inhibitors based on the minimally invasive surgery for implanting infusion tubes he completed today.

As doctors, they were aware of the general principles for the location of infusion tube implantation.

Such as the main growth infiltration direction of the tumor, the dense distribution area of blood vessels and glands, immune indicators of the lymphatic system, visceral texture direction, the intentions the doctor wishes to achieve, and so on.

However, a tumor acts irrationally, sometimes growing in unfathomable places.

Moreover, the presence of a tumor can alter some characteristics of the diseased organ.

Additionally, individual patient differences and tumor growth variations make determining the exact location for implanting the infusion tube difficult without clear principles to rely on.

Everyone in the meeting room had a tablet, looking through Lin Jie's diagrams of infusion tube implantation locations for dozens of patients, sharing their personal insights one after another.

"Ah, have you noticed something?"

A sudden exclamation attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked up and found the youngest and most active military doctor Liu Shao standing up excitedly.

The old military doctor Dr. Ning took off his reading glasses and asked expectantly: "Oh, Dr. Liu, do you have a novel discovery?"

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, making Liu Shao aware of his impulsiveness.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said: "Regarding the infusion tube implantation location, I don't have any special findings yet, but I've noticed something."

He waved the tablet in his hand excitedly and said: "These location diagrams were sent to us by Colonel Lin before the surgery began."

"I compared them with the post-operative imaging, and shockingly, the actual surgical locations were exactly as depicted in the diagram."

"Aren't you amazed by Colonel Lin's absolutely precise surgical execution skills?"

Liu Shao's words indeed sparked quite a response among the several military doctors.

However, among Lin Jie's students, it didn't cause even a ripple.

To them, who had already witnessed much of Lin Jie's marvels, this was just a small demonstration of Lin Jie's expertise, not something to be surprised about.

Seeing their calm reactions, Liu Shao realized he was seen as the inexperienced outsider.

He laughed awkwardly and said: "It seems I'm naive and astonished."

"Previously, I had only heard about how amazing Colonel Lin is, but witnessing it firsthand, it's hard not to be excited."

After a brief pause to ponder, Liu Shao began to speak again: "Regarding the choice of implantation location, I have an immature idea—perhaps we could base it mainly on the distribution and variation of lymph nodes."

He further explained: "Malignant tumors utterly destroy the human immune system, usually attacking the immune system, the body's frontline against disease, first..."

"The lymphatic system."

"We might be able to use the quantity and size of lymph nodes around the tumor to predict the tumor's next infiltration direction, along with the resistance intensity of healthy tissue, subsequently serving as a judgment basis for determining the infusion tube implantation location."

His words prompted many in the meeting room to think and nod in agreement.

The human lymphatic system is a very crucial yet relatively less understood circulatory system by medical professionals, consisting of tiny canals throughout the body—lymphatic vessels.

Small lymph nodes are distributed along lymphatic vessels.

When a local area or organ of our body undergoes pathological changes or inflammation, bacteria, toxins, and other foreign matter can spread through the lymphatic fluid via lymphatic vessels to nearby corresponding lymph nodes.

The local lymph node acts as the first line of defense to block and eliminate these bacteria or toxins, preventing the spread and diffusion of pathological changes.

Once these foreign matters are detected, phagocytes within the lymph node rapidly proliferate, intensifying lymph node functions, causing it to enlarge.

Thus, local lymph node enlargement can indicate disease in the lymph node's incoming lymph site.

If the local lymph node cannot block and clear these bacteria or toxins, the pathological change can continue spreading and diffusing through the lymph node's output canal.

Furthermore, loose diffused lymph cells are abundant inside human tissues and organs.

Though undefined by surrounding tissues, when these diffuse lymph cells are stimulated by pathogens or foreign substances, they can gather to form lymph nodules, resisting invasions.

Therefore, understanding local lymph node indicators holds significant clinical implications…

Just as the meeting room discussion heated up, Lin Jie also returned to Xiangtai Apartment.

Surprisingly, Du Feixue was sitting in the dining room, and with great tactfulness, she served him a bowl of hot soup.

"Lin Jie, with Aunt Lu at your place, adding an extra pair of chopsticks is quite easy, so I'll come over often to have meals. You don't mind, do you?"

Lin Jie asked with some confusion, "Did you do something outrageous and get kicked out by your family?"

Miaomiao just smiled and said, "Brother, Sister Fei Xue has moved into the apartment she bought at our Golden Tripod Building today after the renovations were completed."

"The renovations were done so quickly?"

Du Feixue explained, "I quite liked the original decor of the house."

"After buying it, I only refreshed a few areas like the bedrooms and bathrooms, so the speed was naturally quick. Now I'm the only one living in that apartment, and cooking and everything is quite inconvenient."

She asked persistently, "Lin Jie, you haven't stated your position yet. Just say, do you agree or not with me coming over for meals?"

Lin Jie glared at her and said, "As if if I disagree, you wouldn't come over for a meal."

He curiously asked again, "Hey, wasn't that apartment meant to be your and Chen Qiuhua's marriage home?"

"Why are you living there alone?"

Du Feixue sighed lightly and said, "That guy has quite a strong macho attitude, insisting on preparing the marriage home himself."

She looked at Lin Jie with slight resentment and said, "If he had half your medical skills, it would be easy to earn a few million dollars a year to buy a decent big house."

"With his current income, it would take forever."

"Feeling impatient?" Lin Jie teased.

Du Feixue responded angrily, "Why would I be impatient? I'm still a few months younger than Kexin, and she's not marrying you until July."

"Besides, my film company has just been established with an investment of a couple of hundred million, so I'm very busy and can't manage wedding preparations at the moment."

"That guy is already in his thirties and he's not in a rush, why should I be impatient and seem desperate to get married..."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it!"

Lin Jie interrupted her and said, "I'll persuade him, and if it doesn't work, I'll lend him some money to buy a house."

"Hurry up and eat; I'm starving..."

Near nine o'clock at night, An Kexin came home and went straight to the study, happily announcing, "Ah Jie, the total donations received by the Anlin Charity Fund officially surpassed the ten million mark at seven ten tonight."

"This is definitely an event worth celebrating."

Lin Jie put down his work, stood up to hug her, and laughed, "It certainly is worth congratulating."

"This is just the current total donations; the next goal is for annual donations to reach ten million."

An Kexin lightly pecked Lin Jie's cheek and said joyfully, "This year, there's a very good chance we'll achieve this goal."

"It's not even April yet, thanks to donations from numerous German companies, actual donations have already exceeded five million."

"Once Anlin Hospital opens, we estimate we'll receive another substantial wave of donations."

"In the second half of the year, we'll focus on holding one or two charity events to push for the ten million mark."

They say doing good makes people happy; seeing An Kexin's radiant expression, Lin Jie felt there was truth in this saying.

He decided to make an offer and said, "When we get married in July, we could donate the wedding gifts."

"No way!"

An Kexin glared resolutely and said, "Those wedding gifts are blessings from others to us; how could we donate them?"

"Besides, most of the gifts we'll have to reciprocate; it's not like we can just pocket them."

"The most important point..."

She softly said, "Ah Jie, I reckon those gifts surely won't be a small amount."

"Don't forget your cousin received millions in gifts when he got married. With your current reputation and status, it's very likely we'll receive over ten million in gifts."

"Donating such a large sum might earn us praise, but there'll definitely be a lot of negative comments too. It's better to avoid trouble and just manage the charity fund well."

Lin Jie really hadn't thought that far. He said, "You can decide about the gifts."

"By the way, just to let you know, Qushui Garden is booked for this Saturday."

"Miaomiao is responsible for promotions at Xiangtai Apartment building, and Golden Tripod Building will be handled by you and Uncle An. Du Feixue also volunteered to promote at Huating Villa Garden."

"I'll take care of the hospital's side."

Seeing An Kexin was a bit distracted when responding, Lin Jie casually asked, "Kexin, are you planning something with the wedding gifts?"

An Kexin giggled, wrapped her arm around Lin Jie's, and said sweetly, "Ah Jie, we really do understand each other."

"Guess again, what I'm planning to do with these gifts..."
