Chapter 139 Custom Made (4th update, asking for subscriptions, asking for monthly tickets!)
After clarifying the misunderstanding, Ayajichi Shoubu realized the magnitude of the joke and misunderstanding she had caused and instantly felt her face burn with shame.
Now that she fully understood the situation, Jounouchi Hiromi, though unavoidably upset with Ayajichi Shoubu, was not a person to harbor grudges. After Ayajichi Shoubu's sincere apology, Jounouchi Hiromi forgave her.
"I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble! How about I help you organize this treatment plan?" Ayajichi Shoubu, at heart, was not a bad person; her disdain and impatience had only been due to the earlier misunderstanding, but now that it was resolved, she wanted to make amends as best as she could.
Hearing Ayajichi Shoubu's offer, Jounouchi Hiromi thought for a moment and then readily accepted. She had originally intended to consult with the neurosurgeon to ask about professional issues, and Ayajichi Shoubu's offer to help was exactly the assistance she had been hoping to find.
"If that's the case, then I must trouble Doctor Ayajichi! I've been having such a headache over these professional issues in the treatment plan!" Jounouchi Hiromi handed Ayajichi Shoubu some medical terms she had copied down but didn't understand, hoping she could help sort out the treatment plan.
Upon receiving the information from Jounouchi Hiromi, Ayajichi Shoubu eagerly thanked her, "It is I who should be thanking you! Such an impressive treatment plan could be entered in the Hopkins University Medical Research Awards! I consider it an honor to take part in organizing such a treatment plan!"
Perhaps because she had lived in the United States, Ayajichi Shoubu's personality also had some American-like characteristics, and without much ado, she sat beside Jounouchi Hiromi, starting to clarify the uncertainties and perplexities in Chen Yu's treatment plan.
As the two of them engaged in vigorous discussion and organized Chen Yu's treatment plan, Ayajichi Shoubu, who had calmed down through her deep contemplation of professional issues, suddenly noted a problem, "These treatment methods are indeed incredible, especially these suturing techniques for nerves, which are unlike anything I've ever heard of!
To achieve such suturing precision, specialized surgical instruments are necessary, but..."
"But what?" Curiously, Jounouchi Hiromi looked towards Ayajichi Shoubu when she heard this, "What are you trying to say, Doctor Ayajichi?"
"The nerve suturing techniques outlined in this treatment plan are entirely different from those currently used in neurosurgical operations, and they require different surgical instruments! But I have never heard of any of these instruments..." Ayajichi Shoubu frowned, her face filled with confusion and puzzles, "Could these be new surgical instruments developed by Professor Chen himself?
If so, all these instruments would have to be custom-made! How on earth did he come up with these things?"
——————————————————————————
While Ayajichi Shoubu was worrying over the surgical instruments in Chen Yu's treatment plan that she had never heard of, Chen Yu had already begun addressing the issue.
"Ryosen-kun, does Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals have a business in manufacturing medical surgical equipment?" Chen Yu asked Ryousen from Kyuuzai, who was summoned to his office.
"I apologize, Professor. Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals' business is mainly focused on biopharmaceuticals and we do not deal with medical surgical equipment," Ryousen conveyed his apologies regarding Chen Yu's question, but indeed, Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals did not partake in that business area.
Ryousen didn't make empty promises to Chen Yu regarding his request. Custom-making medical surgical equipment is not like asking a blacksmith to forge a kitchen knife—a subpar knife could still be used, but without any business in medical surgical equipment, attempting to tackle the task would inevitably lead to disappointing results or even the risk of a major medical incident.
However, while acknowledging that Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals couldn't manufacture the surgical equipment, Ryousen also added, "Professor, are you in need of customization for surgical instruments? While we at Kyuuzai Pharmaceuticals do not offer this service, we have business ties with Matsura Medical.
Although they are a medical enterprise that has only recently become prominent domestically, they have established cooperative relationships with many medical research institutions in the United States, and their products currently have an excellent reputation both domestically and internationally.
Although they are not as large as some established medical enterprises in terms of scale, the quality of their surgical instruments has already been recognized by the market. If you have such a need, Professor, I can put you in contact with them."
Hearing Ryousen's offer, Chen Yu didn't immediately state his requirements but instead contemplated a bit before asking Ryousen, "The Matsura Medical you mentioned, what kind of business do they mainly handle? In the aspect of medical surgical equipment, what kind of products do they primarily manufacture?"
"Matsura Medical is a traditional company, originally established in the Taisho era, initially producing surgical instruments such as scalpels and other medical tools like medical trays and metal boxes. They also provided products like first-aid kits to the military during wartime.
However, due to a limited product range, they didn't see much development," Ryousen cleared his throat and organized his thoughts before continuing to explain to Chen Yu, "It wasn't until these recent years that the current president, Kiyohito Matsura, took charge and vigorously sought collaboration with medical research institutions in the United States.
He energetically expanded his business and developed new products, quickly gaining a foothold in the medical equipment industry. Experience tales with empire
Now, in addition to their traditional business in surgical instruments, Matsura Medical has made notable achievements in emerging fields of medical equipment such as artificial joints and 3D printing of bone substitutes. If you are looking to custom-order surgical instruments, Professor, Matsura Medical should be able to meet your needs."
After listening to Ryousen's introduction, Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction and picked up a stack of documents from his desk to hand over to Ryousen, "I need to custom-order some special surgical instruments that require high precision in both shape and material, and they are unlike any existing surgical instruments.
You can take these documents to someone at Matsura Medical for them to assess. If they can make them, then please order a set for me. Although it's not urgent, I cannot afford a long delay."
"Rest assured, Professor, I will take care of this matter and will not disappoint you," Ryousen promised gravely as he took the documents from Chen Yu, flipping through them briefly.
Chen Yu nodded slightly in approval. He held a high regard for Ryousen's ability to handle tasks, which is why he felt confident entrusting this matter to him.
