Chapter 332: The Nobel Prize?
"Huh? Didn't Murphys say that Lady Lena was here too? Why didn't I stay with you guys? ”
After a warm hug from Hetian Road, Professor Locke, who had just gotten off work and rushed from the hospital, had a look on his face and looked around the restaurant, but he didn't find that familiar face.
Tian Lu smiled and said, "I've been here, but I just had an urgent matter and needed to go back to the headquarters of Weisen Company, so I left again." What, didn't she say hello to you? ”
"Nope!"
Professor Locke quickly shook his head, a strange look on his face.
Seeing that the topic had been focused on an "idler", Professor Smith, the director of the Department of Neurology who came with Professor Locke, was a little unhappy, waved his hand and said, "It's okay to leave, just the three of us can have a good chat tonight!" By the way, Tian, didn't your wife come with you? I heard that she is beautiful, why don't you introduce her to me? ”
"Uh, tomorrow, tomorrow."
Tian Lu smiled a little awkwardly. In fact, according to the plan, Ye Lan will also attend tonight, but in the evening, a friend of hers suddenly arrived, saying that a party had been arranged for her, and Ye Lan's friends in San Francisco were already waiting for her at the party.
In a sense, this is a "surprise" arranged for Ye Lan!
Ye Lan, who couldn't refuse, had to say sorry to Tian Lu, and then got into a friend's car and left.
For Professor Smith, he may not have Ye Lan's appetite for it, so he didn't care, and warmly beckoned Tian Lu to find a seat and sit down.
The restaurant in the evening is much more lively than at noon.
The influx of well-dressed gentlemen and radiant ladies soon filled all the places, and it was clear that many people in this hotel knew Locke and Smith, two senior physicians at San Francisco Medical Center, and from time to time someone came up to say hello.
But when the meal for the three of them was served, everyone was interested in not bothering them. Finally cleared up.
"Tian, do you know how many doctors have come this time?"
Raising the wine glass in his hand and gesturing at Tian Lu, Professor Locke asked with a slight smile.
Tian Lu also raised his wine glass, shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. How many? One hundred and fifteen? ”
When Professor Locke called Tian Lu last week. There are already almost 100 doctors who have applied to participate, and if it is calculated in this way, I am afraid that there will be at least 50 more people in this week's time, so Tian Lu's speculation is already relatively conservative.
"Huh. Three hundred and ten! ”
Professor Locke smiled happily and raised his glass in the direction of Tian Lu: "Congratulations, Tian, you have achieved great success!" ”
"So much!"
Tian Lu was first surprised, and then he was happy. Hurriedly touched the cup lightly with Professor Locke, picked it up and drank it all!
The wine in this glass tastes so mellow!
Professor Locke's success refers to the number of people who came to the conference, you know, these more than 300 people do not include the people who Locke had invited in the first place, nor the people from the Department of Neurosurgery at the San Francisco Medical Center itself, but other doctors who came to visit! The fact that a one-person academic lecture can attract so many people is enough to show that Tian Lu has considerable influence in the field of epilepsy surgery!
Tian Lu's influence in the United States is much greater than that of him in China!
On the one hand, this is also because Tian Lu's articles are published in international journals. Many doctors in China cannot see it, and on the other hand, the different systems of the two countries also determine the difference in this regard. At least when it comes to participating in academic exchange activities, American physicians and even residents have considerable autonomy. In many cases, domestic physicians must consider the level of the conference, whether there is a formal notice, whether there are continuing education credits, whether they can be reimbursed, and so on. There are still a lot of restrictions.
"Tomorrow morning officially starts, I'll give you a rì schedule when I get back."
After putting the cup down. Professor Locke smiled, "Basically, tomorrow day you will present the results of research in epilepsy surgery, and in the evening it will be a dinner organized by Weisen Company." The day after tomorrow is your time, you can continue to talk about epilepsy surgery, of course, you can also talk about other things, the third day is you need to go to the neurosurgery, we have prepared all the information and examination results of a refractory epilepsy patient, in the morning by you for on-site diagnosis, in the afternoon by Dr. Lufield, you will explain, then there will be a live broadcast, demonstration of the whole process of the operation! ”
Speaking of this, Professor Locke couldn't help but pause, and then said with a smile: "How is it?" Questions? ”
"No problem!"
Tian Lu immediately nodded and said, "There is no problem on my side!" ”
If it were someone else, I am afraid that there would be some doubts about such a high-intensity arrangement, especially the operation on the third day, it would definitely be more difficult to get the patient's information and explain the whole process from the operation to half a day. But for Tian Lu, this is really no problem at all! Not to mention the things in Tian Lu's stomach for two days, even if it takes twenty days, it can't be finished, and besides, the most important thing for surgery is the previous diagnosis, and the process of surgery is secondary, and Tian Lu does not have too much pressure.
The neurosurgery department at San Francisco Medical Center and Tian Lu are now in the same boat, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and it is precisely because he understands Tian Lu's true ability that Professor Locke will make such an arrangement with confidence.
"Okay, are you done?"
Seeing that Professor Locke had finally stopped, Professor Smith hurriedly interjected and said, "Tian, when did the collaborative research you mentioned to me last time you came to San Francisco begin?" ”
Hearing Smith say this, Professor Locke also stopped the knife and fork in his hand with interest.
In a sense, the treatment method of surgery is a comprehensive treatment, including not only surgery, but also drug treatment, so Professor Locke is also very interested in the internal medicine diagnosis and treatment research in the Tianlu Project.
"It's coming, it's coming."
Tian Lu said with a smile: "I came here this time, and one of my itinerary is to go to Scripps, and then I will have a final summary and deterioration discussion with Professor Humphs, so if nothing else, as soon as October, at the latest New Year, our cooperative research can really begin!" ”
It is the same as the collaborative research of neurosurgery that Professor Locke was chosen for in-depth cooperation. In the field of basic research, Tian Lu chose Scripps, and in the Department of Neurology, he chose Professors Kanonai and Smith from the Second Affiliated Hospital, so that they could carry out some small-scale, experimental collaborations at the same time, just like the neurosurgery standard diagnosis and treatment plan with Professor Locke.
Hearing Tian Lu say this, Professor Smith was still a little anxious. But it finally quieted down. He came to see Tian Lu this time to ask this question. After getting the answer, I naturally have little interest in the others.
Shrugging his shoulders, Professor Locke said that he had nothing to say for the time being, and Tian Lu was relieved, almost every time he went abroad, he would face such a situation. There are countless questions and queries to be answered, and it is conceivable that there will be more such questions in the venue tomorrow!
But now, he can finally enjoy today's food steadily.
Of course, there is one last thing to settle before that. Even the two books he had just written and brought over in a USB flash drive, especially the one on epilepsy surgery, if he wanted to publish the English version on a relatively influential website, he would probably have to rely on Professor Locke's help.
Sure enough, as soon as they talked about this matter to Rock and Smith, the two senior neuromedicine professors immediately became extremely interested!
"Wrote two books in one sitting?"
Professor Locke's eyes widened, and he said in an extremely exaggerated tone, "And all of them are that kind of tomes? Tian, do you know what you're doing? ”
Compared with. Professor Smith was much more direct, and directly stretched out his right hand: "Tian, where is the book about the blood-brain barrier?" Can I take a look at it now? ”
"Don't be so anxious about it!"
Tian Lu was also a little caught off guard by the reaction of the two professors, and hurriedly whispered, "First." I only brought the electronic transcripts of these two books, and you can take them back and read them later, and secondly, Professor Locke. I also know what I'm doing! ”
Both of them noticed their gaffes and soon fell silent. However, the inner turmoil is not so easy to calm down.
If it weren't for Tian Lu's research in these two fields over the years, whether it was Rock or Smith, I am afraid they would have regarded Tian Lu's words as a joke, but because they knew too well the energy of the young man in front of them, both of them understood very well that since Tian Lu said that he had written two books seriously, then these two books must be real!
What's more, listening to the meaning of Tian Lu's words, these two books are the kind of tomes that comprehensively explain the knowledge of the two fields! And if it is true, as Tian Lu said, that many of the contents are subverts traditional theories and concepts, then the value of these two books 。。。。。。
"Epilepsy Surgery, I can help!"
After just a little thought, Professor Locke nodded very affirmatively: "Given your current achievements in the field of basic research and epilepsy surgery, as long as you have patience, even direct publication is not a problem!" Of course, a special explanation must be added to the preamble! ”
After Tian Lu pondered for a moment, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget about publishing, the cycle is too long, and I have already published it online in China, and it is not suitable to publish it abroad." ”
Knowing that Tian Lu was not short of that little manuscript fee, Professor Locke nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try to help you get in touch and find a more influential website to publish online." But for the blood-brain barrier book, you'd better go to Scripps for help, they're more specialized in this area. ”
"That's one of the reasons I went to San Diego."
Seeing that Professor Locke agreed, Tian Lu smiled happily.
Tian Lu's achievements in the blood-brain barrier are much better than those in the field of epilepsy surgery, and he believes that since there is no problem on Professor Locke's side, Professor Bruce's side will not be a problem!
solved a problem so easily, and Tian Lu's heart suddenly became happy.
"Tian, have you ever thought about a question?"
Just when Tian Lu pondered whether he should give Professor Rock a drink, Professor Smith on the side suddenly raised his head and said with an extremely complicated face: "If the content of these two books, or any of them, is verified in the future, have you ever thought that you will win the highest honor in the medical field: the Nobel Prize?" ”
