"Can I participate in your surgery? Don't worry, I'm just watching, and I won't disturb you. After the meeting, Grace said with mixed feelings.

Stephanie glanced at Murphy, who was noncommittal.

Stephanie shrugged, "I don't care. ”

"Don't worry, I'm also a professional doctor." Grace assured.

In the end, Stephanie and Murphy gave Grace the opportunity to watch.

After all, although Grace is Lala, she has been normal since she came over, and she has not spoken or acted in a particularly excessive manner.

As everyone knows, at this time, Grace was aroused professionally and had already overshadowed everything.

Before she had time to flirt with her sister, she was teased by several girls from the iris clinic to a professional "pain point".

When the East Africa Hope Hospital was ready, the ultra-remote intercontinental surgery began in earnest.

Instruments and equipment, networks, etc. have already been debugged.

Spanning the entire United States, the Atlantic, and Africa, nearly 15,000 kilometers!

Murphy took the lead, Stephanie assisted, and Grace watched from the side with a serious face.

The East African Hope Hospital is working closely together.

Isn't this kind of thing more interesting than falling in love?

Grace was so focused that she was afraid of missing a single detail.

This kind of surgery, she has never experienced before, it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction blow!

Murphy manipulates the surgical robot in Hope Hospital through the terminal (host operating end) in the Iris Clinic, and to Grace's amazement, there is almost no delay.

In fact, this delay exists, but the time is extremely short, no more than 100 milliseconds, almost negligible.

This is the most advanced surgical robot combined with 5G communication technology, which can almost achieve the same frequency synchronization, while ensuring the continuous and stable signal transmission, the remote operation time difference is controlled within 100 milliseconds, and the real-time exchange of intraoperative information is basically realized.

Not only that, this system is quite easy to use, through satellite transmission across land and sea, it can overcome the impact of changeable environmental factors such as surges, temperature, and weather on the continuous transmission of signals across the sea.

It can be said that it is faster than wired.

Because of submarine fiber optic cables, transcontinental is generally 150-250 milliseconds. For example, in China, accessing a server in the United States through wired broadband is about the same delay.

To be able to do this, I have to say that China's Beidou has played a big role.

Zhou Qiao has already planned to participate in some scientific research projects of China's space station, so that astronauts on the space station can be operated on the ground.

I have already applied to the bigwigs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there should be no big problem.

It's just that it needs to be taken one step at a time.

This is also quite important.

When China builds a base on the moon, a large number of people will go up at that time, and the sinister environment cannot guarantee that no one will be injured.

It would be great if we could operate remotely on Earth, or if we could direct surgery. Because, even if there are medical personnel to follow the moon landing, some surgeries may not be carried out due to the level of medical skills.

Aerospace medicine, space medicine, or space medicine will be a very important development direction in the future.

Zhou Qiao has a new idea, that is, to study the aging, inflammation and cancer of human stem cells in low earth orbit. Because in low-Earth orbit, cancer stem cells appear to regenerate more easily and are more resistant to standard therapies.

"The vision is so clear."

From the electronic screen, Grace can clearly see the surgical field in the operating room of the East African Hope Hospital, which is about 10-15 times that of the entity, which can be said to be very recognizable.

Of course, it is not as good as Prometheus-3000, after all, the "aperture" of the serpentine minimally invasive surgical robot is small, but 10-15 times is enough to cope with the vast majority of surgeries.

If a higher magnification of the field of view is required, then the only way to do it is to go up to Prometheus-3000, or to slightly expand the "channel" of the serpentine minimally invasive surgical robot and equip it with a higher magnification probe.

Before the surgery, Murphy and Stephanie carefully selected the equipment or consumables according to the patient's condition to ensure that they were the most suitable.

"Oh my God, and real-time image tagging?" Grace was shocked again. Because, Murphy is operating, and Stephanie is assisting on the other side, marking and annotating on the screen from time to time.

In fact, this feature was first proposed by Murphy and then implemented by the R&D team of Future Medical Devices. In the future, it will also be applied to the 3D-VR surgical system.

Murphy himself can mark, but other doctors don't have this ability, and with this auxiliary function, it will be very convenient to help other doctors operate.

In East Africa, the medical team of Hope Hospital is also a learning process while cooperating.

And Stephanie marked the real-time image, which can not only be seen here at the Iris Clinic, but also shared on the big screen of the Hope Hospital in real time.

It's like a distance school. It's just silent. Because Stephanie is inconvenient to explain, I am afraid that it will affect Murphy's operation.

How much you can learn depends on your own comprehension ability.

The entire operation lasted about 1.5 hours, and since it was a remote intercontinental operation, Murphy was careful and did not use the speed to the extreme.

This requires a balance between speed and quality on a case-by-case basis.

During the operation, the child suffered only about 30 milliliters of bleeding, and 25% of the liver (about 160 grams) was removed.

Grace learned a lot and learned a lot.

Clinically, the technique of performing single-port robotic surgery for adults is relatively mature, but for minor children, each case is a groundbreaking operation.

What's more, the child is only three years old.

Such cases can be published in an article. According to Grace's estimates, it should be the first of its kind in the world.

It is worth mentioning that if the robot is operated through a puncture hole to perform liver incision, if there is an unexpected situation that is difficult to handle through a single hole, it may be transferred to the incision, or an additional surgical puncture hole may be temporarily added.

Therefore, during the operation, the medical team at Hope Hospital in East Africa was worried and prepared for emergencies, but fortunately, Murphy and Stephanie once again proved their strength.

None of that preparation was used.

The ultra-high level of surgery made everyone marvel from the bottom of their hearts.

Grace came back the next day for a virtual meeting between Stephanie, Murphy, and Hope Hospital in East Africa. This is a video ward round.

You can't say that you have had surgery and you don't care. Anyway, the network is very convenient now, and it is only right to spend half an hour to follow up.

To Grace's amazement, the little girl was able to eat normally.

It's only the second day!

After Murphy checked the situation, he told the child's mother: "Although a large piece of the liver has been removed, it will not affect the quality of life of the child, the regeneration ability of the liver is very strong, and I usually pay attention to good nutrition, and the removed liver can grow back in a month at most." ”

"If this continues, I will be discharged from the hospital in five or six days." Grace blinked, her heart unusually touched.

Originally, she felt that she was from Harvard University, and the school was better than Stephanie and Murphy, and after graduation, she went directly to the Massachusetts General School, and now she has won the championship, an absolute pride of the sky.

Although Murphy and Stephanie also participated in the National Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Competition, they were second and third, and she still had a little sense of superiority compared to her championship.

Who knows, except for the school where I graduated from it now, everything else has been crushed!

And Murphy and Stephanie were just working a year or two earlier, how could they grow so fast?

Nanako Chiba's level in drug research is also crushing her.

She hasn't seen Yang Xuejun yet, and she doesn't know much about traditional Chinese medicine, but since she can rely on traditional Chinese medicine to become an Internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans, she must have real skills.

It's not that Grace hasn't seen beautiful women, nor has she never seen a genius, but at the same time she has seen so many in a small clinic, and all of them are young and look like high school students, she doesn't believe it if she hasn't been shocked and hit.

This is not the case at Harvard.

Even if there are scientific geniuses at Harvard University, they are either bald or haggard, how can they be dressed beautifully and well-maintained every day like the Iris Clinic, and still achieve such amazing achievements?

Grace doesn't have the heart to pick up girls at all. She had low self-esteem.

Low self-esteem for the first time in life.

Stephanie gave her psychiatric treatment again.

Before the consultation, Grace thought for a few seconds and couldn't help asking, "Why are you all so good?" ”

Stephanie smiled and said nothing, seeing that Grace was "thirsty for knowledge", she had to smile and say, "You'll find out later." ”

"Shouldn't you all be Zhou Qiao's girlfriends?" Grace asked suddenly.

Stephanie was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, there was nothing to be embarrassed to admit.

"I guessed it a long time ago. It's just that I'm curious, why are you all revolving around Zhou Qiao? What's so good about men not thinking about other genders? If you don't try it, how do you know that women are actually more suitable? Grace was a little resentful.

"Haha, forget it, I'm not interested in women, of course it's fun for men." Stephanie laughed.

"Even if a man is fun, then he can have a few more dates and be selective." Grace was puzzled.

"There's no need." Stephanie pursed her lips, and said in her heart that Zhou Qiao was already the top in the world, and that aspect was particularly strong, which could give people endless satisfaction.

Crucially, there are extraordinary benefits that others don't know about.

But Stephanie wouldn't tell the girl. If Grace retreats, it's best not to share the pie.

With a flick of her hand, Stephanie slid out of her sleeve as if by magic, and suddenly appeared on her jade hand.

The top spun rapidly, and Grace once again fell into a state of "confusion".

Before that, the last slucid thoughts echoed in Grace's mind, and she had seen endless satisfaction and loyalty in Stephanie's expression. In fact, I was extremely surprised in my heart.

Because she thinks that Zhou Qiao doesn't look very strong, is it really that powerful? Do you really have eight-pack abs?

The eight-pack abs became Grace's obsession and an "anchor" in psychotherapy.

With this "anchor", the treatment is better.

After this treatment, Grace was not so disgusted with eight-pack abs, but had a faint curiosity. It's curiosity on the surface, not like before, just lurking in the depths of the subconscious.

After three rounds of treatment with Stephanie, Grace's true thoughts had come to the surface and she was terrified.

Because, she still likes women, but at the same time, she thinks about men.

"Could it be that I became bisexual?"

Grace is conflicted and painful. After she woke up, two little people appeared in her mind, both of them were Grace's appearance, but, one blue and the other red, fighting with each other, fencing, no one obeyed the other.

This is, of course, because Stephanie hastened the consequences of the treatment process. But everything is still under Stephanie's control, and it only takes three more rounds to cure Grace completely.

……

Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.

Dr. Xiao Yang returned to the famous medical hall for consultation, recalling the passion with Zhou Qiao these days, Dr. Xiao Yang's little face was even more shy.

The main reason is that Zhou Qiao is simply too good at playing, and after Yang Xuejun is added, he can make all kinds of poses that he couldn't reach before.

Therefore, the two of them tried a lot of new projects, just like doing scientific research, pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, drawing inferences from one another, and all kinds of tricks and innovations. It is a pity that there are no journals in this field to publish.

After Zhou Qiao and Yang Xuejun returned to China, they first got tired of being together for a few days, and then returned to Zhuhai County together.

The two of them went back to visit their parents and met friends.

Many people invited Zhou Qiao to dinner, such as old classmate Gong Xu, village party secretary Zeng Haitao, village head Fan Zhiyong, president of Zhuhai County People's Hospital, director of cardiothoracic surgery, director of emergency department, and so on.

During the dinner, President Zheng of Zhuhai County People's Hospital asked Zhou Qiao, will he come back for the New Year?

Zhou Qiao said with a smile that he would stay in China for almost a month this time, and he would not come back for the New Year.

There are no surprises to everyone, after all, it is already November.

"That's a pity, I originally wanted to invite Dr. Zhou to come to the hospital again to cooperate and communicate, and improve the professional ability of our hospital doctors!" Dean Zheng said with great regret.

Some of the other directors present also expressed their regrets.

The finals of the surgery competition were held in the imperial capital, and it was obvious that Dr. Zhou was not available this month.

After the news was transmitted back to the Zhuhai County People's Hospital, many medical staff joked, saying that it was too easy for Dr. Zhou to make money, and the hospital gave millions of dollars, and people were not yet available. It's really more popular than people.

At the dinner table, Zhou Qiao also introduced his company's new products, especially the serpentine minimally invasive surgical robot, which was quite favored by the middle and senior leaders of the people's hospital present.

Dean Zheng placed an order on the spot and said that he wanted to purchase three units. Zhou Qiao gave him the contact information of Jace Shepard, CEO of Future Medical, and also told Jace Shepard to give Dean Zheng a preferential discount. After all, they are old friends.

Zhou Qiao accompanied his parents for a few days, and also went to visit other relatives, such as sister-in-law, several aunts, and also had a small reunion with his cousin Jiang Yunyun.

Jiang Yunyun has already obtained the formal establishment and entered the civil service system, and is very important in the unit.

Jiang Yunyun said with a smile: "I have a cousin's relationship, I don't think it's okay if I don't want to be reused." ”

My sister-in-law misses her son very much, and she has the heart to visit him in France, but she doesn't understand the language, and she has never been out of the house so far alone.

After Zhou Qiao found out, he said, when I am done here, I will send you to France first, and you can go there to experience the original Christmas of Europeans.

As for Zhou Qiao himself, going there is not a detour, because he and Luo Ya are on the phone, Luo Ya is going to Italy next month to take stock of the family's property, and Zhou Qiao can go to Italy to meet Luo Ya after sending his sister-in-law.

It's also a vacation to have fun after a busy day.

The scenery of the Mediterranean Sea is still quite good.

My sister-in-law was very happy and immediately went to prepare for the visa.

Subsequently, Zhou Qiao stepped on the high-speed train to the imperial capital, tired of taking the plane, and experienced the advanced high-speed rail of the motherland. In particular, he bought the most expensive business seat.

High-speed rail business seats, both sitting and reclining, each seat is also equipped with a miniature LCD TV, free blankets, cushions, slippers, snacks and meals provided, quite luxurious, stable and comfortable, more cool than taking a plane.

The domestic minimally invasive cardiac surgery competition was also held once last year, and the publicity was also very powerful, but I don't know why, maybe it is too professional, even if the publicity is vigorous, no one pays attention to it.

In other words, almost all of them are self-congratulatory in the circle, and they are all cardiovascular-related doctors.

Even, the doctors who are not qualified for the competition in some small hospitals are too lazy to pay attention to it.

This year is the same, it has been publicized since July, and the provincial divisions have long been competing, but it has always been a lack of hot spots, and it is not hot.

Who knows, now that the finals are approaching, after Zhou Qiao returned to China to join, the popularity of the entire event immediately took off, just like riding a rocket.

All kinds of short videos have exploded, hot spots, headlines, and countless people have discussed it.

It's a big deal! The focus is also on Zhou Qiao, a young expert in the United States. This led to the popularity of the entire contest!

People who didn't understand this at all in the past can also give their friends a decent science popularization, what kind of minimally invasive heart surgery should be done, what are the types, how much does it cost, which hospitals have a high level, and so on.

The jury is not only Zhou Qiao, just like in the United States, Zhou Qiao is a young man, and the rest are old men and old ladies.

Originally, those old academicians and professors were still deeply dissatisfied with Academician Xu's placement of such a junior boy, and felt that it was too obvious to promote the juniors, which was a bit shameless and unsafe.

In private, he slandered Academician Xu.

Who would have thought that before the finals started, Zhou Qiao would bring the competition to fire by himself, and he had to admire Academician Xu's foresight.

The old guys changed from their previous dissatisfaction to praise.

"It's still Academician Xu who has vision, this young man is really good."

"Yes, the fact that he led the fire competition alone is indispensable."

"Maybe it's really times that have changed, and this is an era when traffic is king. I can't imagine how prestigious and appealing Zhou Qiao will be when he is seventy or eighty like us. ”
