CHAPTER 1902: CHAPTER 993: A SMOOTH TOP-LEVEL SURGERY (PART 2)

"Then I really hope to be proven wrong by Mist City Arts and Science University’s Medical School."

Netizens mostly took the news about Mist City Arts and Science University developing a [miracle cure for cancer] with a grain of salt. Few believed that the Medical School at Mist City Arts and Science University had the capability and expertise; they thought it was just a gimmick to attract more students to the university.

However.

These netizens were just blindly criticizing. Mist City Arts and Science University’s Medical School is one of the five top-tier faculties of the university, and its admission process is known to be very rigorous every year.

Compared to other faculties and majors that don’t require high scores, the Medical School at Mist City Arts and Science University has set a relatively high threshold, similar to the Mechanical and Computer Science departments.

Nowadays.

The Mechanical and Computer Science departments have achieved significant success worldwide.

For example, the AI robot developed by the Mechanical and Computer Science departments beat Google’s AI robot, AlphaGo. Moreover, the Computer Science department won the championship at the First Global Metaverse Computer International Contest.

As for the Mechanical department, it successfully participated in the lithography machine experiment project and developed domestic lithography machines and chips with a 5-nanometer process technology.

In terms of achievements, the Medical School can’t quite compare to the Mechanical and Computer Science departments. However, this time, the Medical School at Mist City Arts and Science University plans to develop a [miracle cure for cancer], claiming it can cure cancer, which has thrust it into the spotlight.

Ding Yue wasn’t aware of these online discussions yet.

After all, Ding Yue was only thinking about his father Ding Jianjun’s surgery at the moment.

Once the surgery started, Ding Yue, his sister Ding Xiaoyou, their mother Zhang Cuiping, and some friends waited outside the operating room.

Initially, Dean Jiang Zhongbo was also waiting outside for the surgery results, but due to the many responsibilities at Mist City Central Hospital, he left to attend to other matters after waiting for about an hour with Principal Ding.

An hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

Time kept ticking away.

The light on the operating room remained lit and hadn’t turned green yet, indicating that Ding Jianjun’s brain tumor removal surgery was still ongoing, which made Ding Yue increasingly anxious.

After all, the longer it takes, the more difficult the surgery likely is, and higher difficulty means a greater chance of failure.

Yet, Ding Yue remained confident.

Since the world’s leading experts in brain tumor removal surgery were personally contacted and invited by Dean Jiang Zhongbo, there shouldn’t be any reason for concern.

Four hours.

Five hours.

Finally, after five hours and forty-seven minutes, the light on the operating room door turned green, which generally signifies success.

"The surgery should be finished."

Xu Bin, who had some understanding of the Medical School, remarked upon seeing the change in the operating room light.

Ding Yue, his sister Ding Xiaoyou, and their mother Zhang Cuiping immediately rose from their seats and gathered at the operating room entrance.

Soon.

A doctor emerged from the operating room, taking off his mask.

"Doctor, how did it go?"

Ding Yue hurriedly asked.

His sister Ding Xiaoyou and mother Zhang Cuiping followed closely behind him.

Today, their mother Zhang Cuiping put aside her beloved cafeteria job to focus on waiting for her husband’s successful surgery outcome.

"Principal Ding, the surgery went smoothly, and the brain tumors that needed to be removed have been excised. Fortunately, the cancer was not in its final stages yet, and the spread was only within the brain. Any longer delay might have seen the cancer cells spread throughout the body."

The doctor explained.

Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Ding Yue felt a reassuring sense of relief.

If the surgery was successful, it means his father Ding Jianjun would have at least two to three years, perhaps even three to five years.

"The surgery’s done? Professor Zhang, how did it go?"

From a distance, Dean Jiang also approached. He came over right after completing his tasks and just caught the news that Mr. Ding Jianjun’s surgery was finished, so he curiously inquired of Professor Zhang.

Professor Zhang, a professor from a university overseas, returned specifically to perform the brain tumor removal surgery for Ding Yue’s father, Ding Jianjun.

Professor Zhang, a native of Xia Country, was hired by a prestigious American medical school to serve as a professor, and is considered a leading figure in brain tumor surgeries.

"Dean Jiang, the surgery was a success. Apart from a few points excluded in our original plan, all necessary removals were completed. Next, we can use the miracle cure for cancer to prevent further cancer cell spread."

Professor Zhang addressed both Dean Jiang and Principal Ding, saying, "As everyone knows, eradicating all cancer cells in the body is impossible, especially with already-spreading cases. After a successful surgery, the next step is proper recuperation. Regular use of the [miracle cure for cancer] and maintaining a healthy lifestyle should ensure at least three more years."

Upon hearing this from Professor Zhang, Ding Yue felt reassured.

At the very least, there are three more years. If Ding Yue estimates correctly, they might even succeed in developing the [miracle cure for cancer] by then.

"We need to use the [miracle cure for cancer] to prevent further cancer cell spread, right?"

Ding Yue stepped forward to ask Professor Zhang.

"Yes, Principal Ding, currently, the available miracle cure for cancer on the market is Pfizer’s, and I recommend using it."

Professor Zhang nodded and replied.

Professor Zhang wasn’t advocating for Pfizer’s miracle cure, but it was simply the current reality.

"Okay, okay."

Ding Yue indicated that it wasn’t an issue; even though Pfizer’s miracle cure is expensive, he could afford it, and it wasn’t considered a significant expense for Ding Yue.

"Of course, Principal Ding, I sincerely hope that the miracle cure for cancer, claimed by Mist City Arts and Science University to eradicate cancer cells, can be successfully developed."

Professor Zhang said with a smile to Ding Yue.

"Professor Zhang, do you think it’s possible?"

Suddenly, Ding Yue asked.

This question left Professor Zhang unsure of how to respond.

Honestly, Professor Zhang didn’t quite believe that Mist City Arts and Science University’s Medical School and Feiyue Pharmaceutical Technology Company could develop a [miracle cure for cancer].

Even Pfizer Pharmaceutical Technology Company couldn’t achieve such a feat, so expecting a newcomer in the field to do so was almost impossible.

This was Professor Zhang’s candid thought.

But, in front of Principal Ding, it might not be polite to "speak so frankly."

"Well... I’m not specialized in this area, so I don’t have much insight."

Eventually, Professor Zhang vaguely replied to Principal Ding’s question.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue smiled and changed the topic, saying, "Professor Zhang, you all worked hard on the surgery today, and with such a successful outcome, I really don’t know how to thank you."

"Hahaha, Principal Ding, there’s no need to be so polite. Mist City Arts and Science University has made significant contributions to many domestic industries, including medical technology, which I greatly admire. Besides, we performed the surgery and get paid for it."

Professor Zhang was quite straightforward, openly mentioning the remuneration aspect.

While Ding Yue, Dean Jiang, and Professor Zhang were discussing the surgery, the patient was wheeled out from the operating room.

"The patient is still under anesthesia, so there’s no need to worry, Principal Ding. Just send him to the ward to rest and take good care of him. Ensure he maintains a positive mindset, and there should be no major issues."

Professor Zhang kindly advised.
