godfather of surgery

Chapter 1233 Vague and Indistinct
"How can such a luxurious ward be cheap?" The old man didn't believe the doctor and nurses standing to the side.

This elderly gentleman is over ninety years old. He spent his years conducting research in the western region and has been retired for many years. He was arranged to have a physical examination at Sanbo Hospital. When he saw such a luxurious ward, he felt uncomfortable and thought he was being extravagant. Even when he had a physical examination in the capital, he refused to stay in a special ward.

The doctors and nurses nearby were about to explain when Dean Xia and Yang Ping happened to come in and overheard the conversation between the old man and the doctors and nurses. He immediately waved his hand, signaling the doctors and nurses not to continue, as the more they talked, the more unhappy the old man would become.

The older generation thinks differently from the younger generation. They have risked their lives and endured the greatest hardships, so they have developed a habit of thrift and frugality, and naturally they are not used to living in these luxurious hospital rooms.

Dean Xia explained, "Sir, the wards here are indeed very nice. Not only are they nice here, but the regular wards in our hospital are also very nice. I'll take you for a look around sometime."

"Ok!"

After Dean Xia said that, the old man's displeasure lessened a bit.

This gentleman has a heart condition, specifically coronary artery stenosis. For various reasons, he is not a suitable candidate for a coronary stent. He plans to have coronary artery bypass surgery done after completing his physical examination.

After comforting the elderly comrade, Dean Xia and Yang Ping went to each ward to meet with him, communicate with him, and find out if there was anything he had not done well in his work.

Everyone involved in this physical examination took it very seriously. Dean Xia even put aside all other work to focus solely on organizing it. Yang Ping was the chief expert of the examination team and personally oversaw the medical technology aspects of the entire examination.

The other veterans have also settled in. They need to rest well, as their schedule is quite tight and they will begin their physical examinations the next day.

The physical examinations proceeded smoothly on the second day.

Yang Ping personally oversaw the physical examinations of the veteran comrades. He carefully reviewed the results of each examination. Most of the veteran comrades were in better health than expected, which may be related to their usual tranquil and open-minded attitude.

Several elderly comrades have some health issues that need attention. One needs heart bypass surgery, and another has a small tumor. Given the typical growth rate of such tumors, it's estimated that it won't significantly affect their health for about twenty years. Since this comrade is almost ninety years old, the tumor doesn't require treatment. Another elderly comrade has been diagnosed with a thyroid tumor, which is also considered a slow-growing cancer and doesn't require treatment either.

So there are actually very few problems to deal with. These older comrades are generally open-minded and optimistic, so their health is quite good, which puts Yang Ping at ease.

The surgery for the elderly man who needed heart bypass was performed by Yang Ping himself. The surgery went very smoothly and solved his long-standing problem.

After finishing the physical examinations for the senior staff, Dean Xia will also visit the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University. The current dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University is Dean Zou. The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University is currently the best managed among the major affiliated hospitals. Dean Xia will go there to conduct research and learn from its strengths.

Although the system space has been restored, it is no longer as useful as before. It is now merely a portable space where time flows very fast, and there are almost endless books and papers available for reference at any time. A huge laboratory can be used to conduct experiments.

However, the points reward system has been stagnant for a long time. The stagnation is not a problem; the remaining points are still enough to buy some laboratory equipment. But eventually, they will run out. So be it. As long as he can utilize the time and knowledge of the system space, that's enough. Yang Ping is not greedy. He was still able to develop the K therapy even without the help of the system space for a long time.

Therefore, systems are merely tools; one cannot rely entirely on systems, as this would stifle one's own creativity, which is the key to solving scientific research problems.

When Yang Ping arrived at the lab, everyone was discussing the problems they had encountered in the experiment. Several of the new PhD students were quite distressed, feeling that they didn't know where to start and had only a vague understanding of the next stage of their research.

"Professor, I feel like I know nothing, and I feel like all the knowledge I learned before is useless."

A PhD student expressing his true feelings probably reflects the thoughts of most people.

"Cutting-edge research deals with unknown problems, so it's bound to be vague and half-understood. If everything were clear and perfectly understood, what would be the point of our research? Scientific research is exploratory work. Exploratory work is like going to a completely new primeval forest where no one has ever been before. There are no paths, and all the original navigational aids are no longer effective. At this point, we need to find a path ourselves," Yang Ping told the doctoral students.

Most people are taught to be cautious in their actions, to avoid making mistakes, to listen to adults and teachers, and not to make decisions on their own. This kind of education has many benefits, as it allows young people to grow along a mature path and avoid making mistakes and taking detours.

However, it also brings many problems, making young people stick to the rules. Because they dare not explore and are afraid of making mistakes, they lack imaginative thinking and the courage to break established knowledge. They also have a strong fear of authority. These shortcomings are very detrimental to original technological innovation.

"Don't be afraid, don't hold your hands and feet back. Be bold in trying, exploring, and thinking outside the box. Don't be afraid of failure or being ridiculed. This is the necessary path to innovation. In science, we can only be realistic. No authority is unchallengeable. So what if we fail? We can always start over." Yang Ping encouraged everyone, wanting them to explore bravely.

After hearing Yang Ping's words, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, since there were very few "bosses" who would encourage everyone to take risks like this.

Especially the newly arrived PhDs, who had never heard Yang Ping say these words before, were wondering if what he said was true. If it was just something said in public, then they could only listen to it.

After all, we've all heard plenty of polite words during our graduate studies. For example, a professor might say you can boldly point out their mistakes, but actually doing so and embarrassing them could have dire consequences. A professor might say you can let your imagination run wild, but if you actually come up with something that seems far-fetched or ridiculous, you'll get a severe dressing-down, accused of being unrealistic and delusional. A professor might say you should prioritize rest and health, but if you really can't take it anymore and just want to rest, your professor's glare could cut you to pieces.

So whether what Professor Yang said was true or not, they needed to think it over carefully. After all, they were all newcomers and didn't know Professor Yang well. Some things are meant to be heard, and some things are meant to be done. They had to make a clear distinction between the two.

The rumors circulating outside are just a "persona," and a persona is a persona; it's not the same as the reality.

P.S.: Sorry, I had to stop updating for a while due to work reasons. I'm resuming updates now, thank you everyone!
