Chapter 1547: Hello, Tableware for 1 US Dollar! (First Update)
Sometimes, the unknown is the most terrifying.
Just like a pinealoblastoma, the cause is unknown, the prognosis is unknown.
In fact, the hardest part of this surgery is how to enter the pineal region by avoiding all dangerous areas.
The modified Poppen approach surgery developed by Berti and his team, combined with the microscopic imaging technology developed by Google, has made this surgery possible!
However, tools are ultimately just tools.
Surgery still requires human completion.
And for surgical operations, no matter how technology advances, they still require the comprehensive judgment abilities of humans.
Just like when surgical robots appeared, they still needed to be human-operated.
Berti watched as Chen Cang meticulously cleaned the pinealoblastoma, bit by bit, thoroughly without damaging the tissue itself, and felt quite emotional!
The ultimate potential of surgery still depends on talent.
Perhaps this is true for any industry!
Diligence can solve only eighty percent of the problem.
The remaining twenty percent requires talent, opportunities, luck, and other unreliable unknown factors.
Coincidentally, this twenty percent becomes the most critical factor.
What Chen Cang did today raised the bar to a new, higher, and more challenging limit for this surgery!
This limit might become Berti's lifelong pursuit.
Berti smiled slightly, thinking this was a good thing.
Sometimes, when standing at the highest point, the greatest worry might not be falling but fearing that one is nothing more than this, unable to bear the responsibilities and duties that come with such a height.
Berti might not be the top figure in the world of neuroscience, but in his field, he is indeed a King.
The surgery is over!
For the first time, Berti had a comprehensive understanding of Chen Cang.
From the use of the neuroendoscope to quickly mastering the modified Poppen approach skills, to the innovative introduction of "the chopstick technique," and to ultimately clearing the pinealoblastoma bit by bit.
This already embodies the capabilities that a neurosurgery leader should possess:
First: The ability to accept new technologies.
Second: The ability to learn and adapt to new procedures.
Third: Innovative and creative ability.
Fourth: Surgical capability.
Indeed, from Berti's perspective, surgical capability is the last ability.
Because the progress of the times will always exceed your self-improvement.
Follow the pace of the times, learn, innovate, and enhance your capabilities.
This is the demeanor a president of the Neurosurgery Association should have.
Unfortunately, this year's Neurosurgery Association meeting has ended.
After the surgery, Berti reminded Chen Cang, "Professor Chen, I suggest monitoring this young patient as a special case history."
"After all, the latest international statistics show that the five-year survival rate for pineoblastoma is less than 50%, and the probability of undergoing a second surgery in three years is as high as sixty percent. I think... this surgery was very successful, and we might be able to observe this patient as a typical case, which might provide a reference for treating other pineoblastomas!"
"Also, at Mayo, we have developed a one-month postoperative recovery scale for pineoblastomas, which can be used to predict the patient's prognosis by measuring certain data."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang immediately said gratefully, "Well then... thank you, Professor Berti."
Berti, with his scholarly demeanor, wore glasses and had a bit of light, short stubble, neatly groomed.
Berti smiled and said, "Professor Chen, you're being polite. We are all working hard to overcome diseases."
"I will stay at your hospital for a while to share this form and some monitoring conditions and skills with you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Cang had no particular reaction.
However, the directors behind him, Hu Chuanbang, Xue Zhengren, and Ji Jun, widened their eyes.
Mayo's nursing methods and recovery scale...
Berti is being too generous with Chen Cang!
Nevertheless, considering Chen Cang as a lifetime partner with Mayo, everyone couldn't help but feel relieved.
This is what capability is!
When your strength reaches a certain point, your influence, and the people and things around you will change.
At this moment, Chen Cang took off the Google Glass.
Pointed the lens at himself and his colleagues around him.
He smiled and said, "Today's surgery live broadcast has ended, I hope it was helpful to everyone. Thank you to Professor Berti from Mayo, and also to Google for providing the technical support! Goodbye!"
The video ended!
However, the people in the surgical live broadcast room were still unsatisfied.
For such an exciting surgery, who knows when they'll see it again.
However, now everyone was eager to contact Google.
They felt that with the advent of Google's microscopic imaging technology, the global neurosurgery landscape would once again change.
And this time, whoever seizes the opportunity first will have a better chance!
The Asian people are extremely excited.
Because the chopstick skills left by their ancestors are indeed very practical.
Perhaps this is their opportunity?
After the video closed.
Many things happened.
In the country, many neurosurgeons had a pair of chopsticks in their hands, one in left hand and one in the right!
They were trying to practice like Chen Cang.
During lunch today, the cafeteria aunt was very angry!
She found many leftovers on the table today, looking at the group of doctors eating with chopsticks in their left hand, she was angry but did not dare to speak!
Mumbling, "Crazy! The neurology people have all gone crazy, today they are all eating with their left hands!"
Other doctors and nurses, seeing this, also widened their eyes in confusion!
Could it be... the neurosurgery department discovered some special secret?
Exercising the left hand can increase IQ? Or... it can extend life!
And this group of people was having fun with it!
Even after eating, they wouldn't forget to hold chopsticks in both hands while walking.
Recently, chopsticks have been selling well online.
Meanwhile, in Western countries' Chinese restaurants today, suddenly there were some unfamiliar faces.
They liked to order a plate of peanuts and a plate of soft tofu.
Then they awkwardly tried to pick them up with chopsticks.
But... they couldn't even hold the chopsticks properly, how could they possibly pick them up!
Unfortunately, the chopsticks tormented them thousands of times, yet they embraced the chopsticks like a first love.
This scene left the owner a bit puzzled!
Obviously, these foreigners were about to cry from frustration, but they endured and had to pick up the peanuts with chopsticks.
Seeing the peanuts scattered all over the table, the owner immediately offered a spoon, fearing that they might cry from frustration.
You have nothing better to do than torment yourselves!
But...
This group of people even had a temper.
They vowed not to use knives, forks, or spoons.
Just chopsticks.
This left the owner dumbfounded.
Even...
For a while afterward, they came every day!
After eating, they would angrily break the chopsticks in half!
This left the owner a bit helpless.
What have these chopsticks done to offend you?
But...
We dare not ask.
As long as we're making money, why bother worrying!
"Hello, the utensils are 1 US Dollar."
