Chapter 229: Persuasion and Joining
Remember [.la] in one second to provide you with wonderful reading.
"Tian, tomorrow is Wednesday, according to our convention, there will be an academic lecture in the afternoon, haven't you forgotten my invitation?"
After beckoning everyone to sit down and offering each of them a cup of coffee, Professor Locke first asked about the greeting he had already made in advance.
When Tian Lu heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "Of course I haven't forgotten this, it's half past one in the afternoon, right? I hope I didn't remember the time wrong." β
This is an old tradition in neurosurgery, and every Wednesday afternoon, an academic lecture is arranged. Not only the residents, but also the attending staff who are free will listen. Of course, with the status of the San Francisco Medical Center, the top scholars in the discipline are invited, and the quality of the lectures is quite high.
"That's right, that's right!"
Professor Locke's eyebrows twitched, and he said happily: "Tomorrow afternoon's lecture, many of the people who will listen to the lecture are your old friends, those new residents, help me teach them a good lesson!"
After all this gossip, everyone's conversation quickly turned to the main topic.
βγγγγγγ I think I know what you mean. β
After listening to Tian Lu's introduction, Professor Locke gently turned the wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand, smiled and nodded: "But according to you, now this positioning scheme only gets laboratory data, but it has never carried out a clinical trial, right?"
Hearing Professor Locke's seemingly casual question, Lena on the side couldn't help but get nervous.
Indeed, Tian Lu's international cooperation team has just completed all the work of the laboratory. But there hasn't even been a single case in clinical trials, which is definitely a hard hit. Even if there are only eight out of ten cases, I am afraid it will be much more convincing. Worried in her heart, Lina rolled her eyes and looked at Tian Lu, who was still calm.
"Yes. β
Smiling slightly, Tian Lu nodded and admitted very calmly: "Actually." Even the results of the basic research have just been sent to the journal Nature, and I have just communicated with the editor two days ago that they will be published in the issue in early April. But clinical surgery. However, there has not been a single case yet, so there is no reliable data to support it for the time being. β
As soon as Tian Lu's voice fell, it was not only Lina. The rest of the accompanying Weisen Company were all in their hearts!
This Tian can't speak too much, right?
At this time, shouldn't you tell the other party how sufficient the trial data is, how reliable the results are, and how many of the world's well-known institutions have been confirmed to join, and then try your best to persuade the other party to join in?
However, compared to the uneasiness in the hearts of the people in the Weisen Company, both Professor Locke and Dr. Morpheus had extremely calm expressions on their faces at this time. Professor Locke even smiled and said, "By the way, congratulations, Tian, this article should be the sixth one you published in Nature, right? That's quite an achievement!"
Dr. Morpheus on the side finally couldn't help but show appreciation on his face at this moment.
The United States is not as strong as China, and its scientific research strength is too strong, and there are many bulls who can publish a few, or even a dozen, or dozens of articles in the CNS series of magazines, but they are as young as Tian Lu. And almost every article is full of weighty characters, but they are also rare and rare.
Of course, as the brilliant people trained in the neurosurgery department at the University of California, or more specifically, at the San Francisco Medical Center, Professor Locke and Dr. Morpheus look like they are honored!
"Thank you. β
Tian Lu owed himself and expressed his gratitude very sincerely.
"I've read all the information you sent in advance. β
Professor Locke groaned slightly, nodded and said, "I have to say that the results and data of basic research are extremely convincing, and according to the cooperation plan you designed, I personally think that there is a great possibility of success!"
After hearing this, a hint of surprise clearly appeared on Lena's face, but Tian Lu still looked indifferent, as if what Locke said was not his research plan.
"Butγγγγγγ β
Sure enough, after just a short pause, Professor Locke's face suddenly became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice: "Your plan, or rather, this method of locating epilepsy lesions is too complicated, from the initial evaluation of patients when they are admitted to the hospital, to the implementation of various examination methods later, as well as the scoring of each stage, as well as other parts such as intraoperative exploration, active activation of lesions, neuropsychological assistance, etc., the content is extremely huge and complex!" And I can see that some of the content is based on the results of basic research, but there are also some of your personal inferences, right? Especially in some places that are different from the common practice of everyone today, there are also many differences. β
Of course, the information sent by Tian Lu to Professor Locke is much more detailed than the paper that will be published in the journal Nature, and it is precisely because of this that Professor Locke, who has been immersed in this field for decades, can easily discover many of the entrained "private goods"!
"You're right. β
Tian Lu still looked calm, nodded and said: "There are many things that cannot be determined in the laboratory experiments, I can only deduce them based on the outcome data and my own understanding in the field of epilepsy." β
"So, how do you make sure that these inferences are correct?"
After listening to Tian Lu's explanation, Professor Locke stared at his eyes tightly and asked without a trace of hesitation.
"I can't guarantee it!"
Tian Lu's answer was also without hesitation!
Although these things are all from the system, at least in reality, Tian Lu has no evidence to confirm, and of course he can't say it. It's just that, after taking a light breath, Tian Lu continued: "But you can't deny that these inferences of mine are well-founded and quite feasible! And in other words, at least they won't make the situation worse, will they?"
Professor Locke fell silent.
Truly. There may be a lot of uncertainty or evidence in Tian Lu's plan, but Professor Locke can see that these points are not bad for patients. In other words, if you follow the plan of the field, there may be benefits, but there is absolutely no harm!
"Also. As a veteran neurosurgeon, I think Professor Locke knows a little bit better than I do!"
After a pause, Tian Lu continued: "Any kind of new technique. The implementation of new treatment regimens, or the introduction of new drugs, new equipment. No one can guarantee that it will be 100% correct, but we can't give up on moving forward because of possible doubts or even risks, right?"
After speaking, Tian Lu smiled and picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip gently, and quietly waited for Professor Locke's reply.
Tian Lu's heart is naturally full of confidence.
In fact, what you get from the system is far more than the information given by Tian Lu, but it is precisely considering the level of development of technology in reality and everyone's ability to bear it. Tian Lu carefully selected the things that might be accepted now, and those that were a little too ahead of their time were deleted after a long period of consideration.
Tian Lu believes that Professor Locke will not fail to see this!
After a long silence, Professor Locke nodded silently. Let Lena and the others secretly breathe a sigh of relief. In their opinion, at least in this most fatal point, Professor Locke seems to have accepted Tian Lu's explanation.
"Well, I have two questions. β
After a long time, Professor Locke spoke again.
Putting down the cup in his hand, Tian Lu waved his right hand and smiled: "Please speak." β
Professor Locke nodded, "First." If you follow your protocol, then almost every hospital has to set up a treatment team. The team includes neurosurgeons, neuroimagingists, neuropsychologists, and more. But after reading the information, I had a question: the whole diagnosis plan is extremely complex, not all doctors, well, at least in my opinion, our doctors here may not be able to understand all of them completely, so what are your plans for this?"
"I've thought about it. β
Without thinking much about it, Tian Lu said with a smile: "As I communicated with you in advance, I plan to invite all the participating hospitals to come to Kyoto at the end of March, especially to invite the doctors who have been identified and want to participate in them for about two weeks of academic exchanges! During this period, I will also try to arrange a few patients for actual demonstrations." I think everyone is a professional, and two weeks, plus on-site observation, should be enough to answer their doubts!"
"Two weeks?"
Professor Locke was also moved. He knew that Tian Lu had this plan, but what he didn't expect was that this time would be so long! You know, if it is just an academic conference, it rarely lasts more than five days, and the doctors are very busy, so it is basically impossible to spend such a long time.
"On that note, please rest assured Professor Locke. β
At the right time, Ms. Lena interjected and said confidently: "We, Weisen Company, will fully support Mr. Tian's plan, and if necessary, we will also provide follow-up support to the participating hospitals!"
Looking at Tian Lu and then at Lena, Professor Locke suddenly seemed to understand something, shook his head with a smile and said, "Then I don't need to ask the next question." β
As a clinical study, almost every patient has to complete all the examinations and all the evaluation items according to the plan of Tian Lu. In other words, even if the condition is very simple and the case can be diagnosed quickly, it will take more time and spend more to ensure the integrity of the data!
As a result, the cost of the entire treatment is bound to be much higher, and these costs cannot be borne by the patient. Fortunately, in this regard, each hospital has its own scientific research funding, and as Lena just said, a lot of instruments and equipment are needed in the experiment, and it is not very difficult to find some external funding.
Thinking of this, Professor Locke secretly made up his mind in his heart.
In fact, today's conversation just made him more down-to-earth, and after seeing Tian Lu's information, Professor Locke already knew that neurosurgery should and must participate in this collaborative research! What's more, the feedback from the Scripps Research Institute also showed that Tian Lu's research conclusions were very solid and reliable!
Since this is the case, Professor Locke no longer hesitated, stood up, and stretched out his arm to Tian Lu with a smile: "Tian, I really hope that you can stay back then, then at this time today, it is our neurosurgery department at San Francisco Medical Center who is leading this researchγγγγγγ β
