Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Unexpectedly Smooth
In the hospital, the diagnostic room.
A group of ophthalmologists was engaged in an intense and urgent discussion.
Li Guotai sat in a chair, calmly taking a sip of tea.
Seeing him so composed, the head of ophthalmology couldn't help but say, "Director, Wu Bin's condition this time is very serious. There's a severe retinal detachment, and there's a high probability that he will go blind."
Li Guotai nodded his head.
"I know."
The head of the department couldn't understand even more.
"Then, Director, since you know, aren't you...a bit too calm?"
Li Guotai smiled.
"Head Liu, you just came back from vacation, so you're not aware of Wu Bin's situation. Here, let me show you his medical records."
Head Liu was puzzled.
Regardless of whatever illness Wu Bin had before, Li Guotai should not be so indifferent. After all, they were facing an extremely difficult eye surgery this time.
Head Liu was dissatisfied in his heart, but did not express it immediately.
When Wu Bin's medical record was opened and displayed in front of Head Liu, he fell silent.
Admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment after a heart attack induced by loud coaching?
Later, he was rushed to the hospital for emergency gastric lavage and detox after accidentally ingesting Shang Lu poisoning?
And the most fatal fact was that the lad had just been discharged today?
Holy shit!
What kind of sorcery is this!
Head Liu looked at Li Guotai with a face full of astonishment.
"Director, is this medical record real? Wu Bin survived all this without dying?"
Li Guotai nodded his head.
"You can also look at the various data of his body during the rescue."
"I can say this, if it were anyone else, they would have long been gone, probably already reincarnated by now."
"But this lad, he's been dancing in front of King Yan and is still alive to this day."
"So now you can understand why I'm so composed, can't you?"
Head Liu nodded again and again.
"Understand, completely understand."
"But Director, this time is different from the previous two times. His retinal detachment is too severe, and the probability of blindness is very high."
Li Guotai smiled faintly.
"Let me ask you, is there a chance for recovery?"
Facing his own Director, Head Liu had nothing to hide.
"There's a chance, but it's very small, one in ten thousand."
If the success rate of the surgery was one in ten thousand, it was basically equivalent to no chance at all.
Yet Li Guotai confidently said, "As long as there is a chance, then there's no problem."
"You just go ahead and perform the surgery with confidence, and don't worry about anything else."
"And one more very important thing, all the data from the surgery must be saved, and the video must be recorded throughout. This will become very good research material for our hospital."
Head Liu did not understand this suggestion from Li Guotai.
Normally, a surgery with such a low success rate would not be necessary to perform at all, let alone record the whole process.
Who likes to record a failed surgery? Isn't that a waste of effort?
However, Li Guotai encouraged Head Liu to follow his instructions, assuring him that he would be thankful later.
An hour later, the ophthalmology conference finally ended.
Given Wu Bin's special status, right after the conference ended, the doctors immediately seized the momentum and rushed him into the operating room for surgery.
He Bingbing and the others waited outside, bullying Wu Bin on her behalf.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were very active.
"What's going on, I just worked an early shift, and Wu Bin has been pushed into the operating room again?"
"As a fellow workhorse, is there a class rep who can explain what exactly happened?"
"You all missed a great scene. Today, our student Wu Bin fiercely confronted a road-raging couple and put on a performance of 'inflicting eight thousand self-damages'."
"It's true, I was there on the scene. Wu Bin's blood spurted out from his eyes so terribly, it scared everyone there."
"So why is he undergoing surgery this time? Can some wise person tell me?"
Originally, He Bingbing thought that waiting for the surgery, being so dull, would cause a drop in the live broadcast room's popularity.
Who would have known it turned out just the opposite.
As new people kept entering the live broadcast room, the old fans took on the role of temporary commentators and recounted Wu Bin's glorious deeds from beginning to end.
This not only gave the old fans a feeling of pride in their discernment, but it also sparked curiosity among the new fans about Wu Bin.
The netizens in the live broadcast room even gave Wu Bin a nickname, calling him Crispy Shark.
Crispy skin, but hard to kill.
Very fitting.
An hour later, the doors of the operating room opened.
A group of excited and thrilled ophthalmologists walked out, their expressions identical to those of the old professors before.
Li Guotai wasn't an ophthalmologist, so he had been waiting outside the whole time.
Seeing the state of the ophthalmologists now, he immediately guessed the outcome.
Li Guotai asked with a smile, "Director Liu, how did it go?"
Director Liu was very excited.
"Chairman, it's miraculous, truly miraculous!"
"When we started operating on Wu Bin, to be honest, nobody had much hope, given how severe his retinal detachment was."
"But as we operated on him, everything went extremely smoothly, as if... as if heaven itself was aiding him!"
"Yes, the medication was having an effect many times more powerful than usual. I thought I made a dosage mistake and it really startled me."
"The most miraculous part is that the negative effects of the medication haven't changed at all, which is just too irrational!"
"Not only the medication, but the retinal reattachment and stabilization also went very smoothly."
"I felt like I entered a state of ethereal focus, a state I've never achieved in all my years of practicing medicine!"
Hearing the doctors talk like this, He Bingbing stood aside stunned.
This was too magical, right?
So did Wu Bin's surgery succeed or not?
Li Guotai understood the ophthalmologists' feelings well and quickly said with a smile to calm them, "Alright, I know you're all excited, but please calm your emotions first."
"Can someone tell me how the surgery went, after all?"
Reminded by Li Guotai, Director Liu then remembered to report.
After all, the camera was rolling, and many netizens were still waiting for news on Wu Bin's condition.
Director Liu hurriedly said, "The surgery was extremely successful. Wu Bin's physical constitution is very strong, and his retina has been completely repositioned."
"As long as Wu Bin rests well in the coming period, there should be no problem returning to his pre-surgery state."
Upon hearing Director Liu's words, the netizens all erupted.
"No way, seriously? Earlier reports said the success rate was only one in ten thousand."
"That's too exaggerated. What kind of constitution does Wu Bin have? I wish I had it!"
"Are you sure you want it? Ready to enter the hospital anytime, I'm afraid your family doesn't have that much money for medical expenses."
"This doctor saying Wu Bin has a strong constitution cracked me up."
"From a certain perspective, it is indeed a badass constitution."
While the netizens were heatedly discussing, Wu Bin was wheeled out of the operating room.
