Chapter 86 Grant Hill's agent comes to seek medical help
"Wood, you are one of the few people I've ever met who can get them to back down."
Fu Haoqiang gave a wry smile.
I myself was forced to make many compromises back then.
If only I could be as strong as a tree.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Because he didn't have Lin Mu's confidence to ignore the other party.
"ACL double-bundle reconstruction is not as simple as they think."
Lin Mu simply smiled.
"So you're going back to Milan tomorrow?" Fu Haoqiang asked.
"Yes, the Turin Winter Olympics start on February 10th, and I need to do some preparations in advance."
Lin Mu, as the person in charge of medical affairs at the venue, is very busy.
It is necessary to organize doctors to provide athletes with basic medical and emergency services.
They also have to follow the anti-doping procedures during the competition.
He expects to be extremely busy in Turin, but he's also looking forward to it because the venue he's in charge of is for pairs figure skating and short track speed skating competitions.
It remains to be seen what kind of results Zhao Hongbo and his partner will achieve.
......
New York seemed colder than Milan at the end of January.
Lin Mu followed Fu Haoqiang to Madison Square Garden to watch the Knicks play against the Orlando Magic that night.
Lin Mu, sitting in the front seat, glanced back.
The hall was full.
Basketball remains very popular in the United States, which is the opposite of Europe, where football is more popular.
Watching the players run and shoot on the court.
Lin Mu somewhat found the feeling of watching Inter Milan's games.
"Stephen Marbury!"
"Great! He broke through Francis's defense, the Knicks are now in the lead against the Magic!"
The on-site commentators were also very enthusiastic.
"Does the Magic have any star players?"
Lin Mu couldn't recognize everyone, so he could only ask Fu Haoqiang, who was also confused and usually only went to perform surgeries.
Fortunately, his teammate Green enjoys watching basketball.
"The Magic's Hill is very good, but he has a lot of injuries. About three years ago, he had his fourth ankle surgery and was infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus."
"I have been receiving intravenous antibiotic treatment ever since."
"He has had very few appearances this season due to groin and athletic hernia."
Greene knew them all by heart.
"Looks like Green's a Magic fan..." Lin Mu thought to himself.
He noted the several injuries Green mentioned.
So Lin Mu asked him carefully. At first, the latter was a little confused, but after realizing what he meant, he immediately explained it in detail.
Hill has undergone five surgeries on his left ankle, which has resulted in old bone deformities.
There is a severe imbalance in the force exerted by the left and right lower limbs when running and jumping.
Long-term abnormal traction of the transverse abdominis muscle by the hip fascia leads to the loss of the posterior wall of the groin.
Green looked at the trees with hopeful eyes.
"Yes, it is quite serious, but after undergoing double-bundle reinforcement surgery, meniscus repair and suturing, sports hernia repair and other surgeries, his career can be extended."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mu said, "I need to see the medical records and test results to make a judgment on the specific situation."
The old saying "doctors don't knock on doors" is a rule passed down from our ancestors.
He couldn't break it either.
That's all I can say.
If the other party has confidence in his surgical skills like Raul, Asamoah, etc.
Then they came to us of their own accord.
Green remembered Lin Mu's words and thought he would contact Hill's agent when he got back to tell him that there was a doctor who could cure Hill.
The two were chatting.
A conflict broke out on the field.
"They've started fighting again?"
Green exclaimed.
Lin Mu learned from Green that it had happened just a month ago.
A vicious brawl broke out at Madison Square Garden during the NBA season.
Green said this was the second largest brawl in NBA history since the Malice at the Palace incident.
The reason seemed very strange to Lin Mu.
That is the Knicks vs. the Nuggets.
There was one minute left in the game at that time.
The Nuggets lead the Knicks by nineteen points.
However, Nuggets head coach Karl did not substitute several key players, including Anthony, Smith, and Nene, out of the game.
So the Knicks players got angry and started to rage.
It involved both a slam and heavy punches.
In the end, the referee sent off a total of ten players.
The Knicks have six, the Nuggets have four.
"Athletes just have such short tempers."
Lin Mu thought to himself, "What if I don't do a good job during surgery one day and get beaten up by an athlete?"
Fortunately, the players only clashed and didn't come to blows today, and the game resumed after a brief pause.
Lin Mu also watched a not-so-exciting NBA game.
They were stopped by a man wearing a mask before they even left the house.
The trees were all numb.
Do Americans really like this way of meeting?
Couldn't you have sent an email first?
"Excuse me, Mr. Wood, I'm Grant Hill's agent. You can just call me Lon Barbie."
Ron-Babby's tone was even pleading, "I know this is presumptuous, but Grant's time is very tight, and I hope you can help him with his treatment."
Lin Mu glanced sideways at Green.
There's a mole here.
"I haven't said it yet!"
Green quickly waved his hand.
Ron-Babby quickly explained, "It's like this, Dr. Wood. I saw the reports about your surgery at the New York Special Surgery Hospital and also asked my friends in the medical field about you."
Lin Mu then understood.
"But I'm going back to Milan tomorrow."
Lin Mu thought for a moment, "If the patient is willing to go to San Rafael Hospital, that would be fine."
"Can't you stay in the US for a few more days?"
Ron-Babby asked, "We will cover all your expenses during this period, and the highest level of medical care will be provided."
Lin Mu shook his head.
He is no longer short of money.
I just want to make more achievements in medicine.
Moreover, the Turin Winter Olympics organizers are urging him to participate.
"Then I'd like to ask Grant, and by the way, Dr. Wood, could I have your contact information?"
Lon-Babby took out his business card and handed it over with both hands.
After exchanging business cards with him, Lin Mu asked Green a few more questions.
It turns out that Hill's injuries were largely related to the team.
When Hill played for the Pistons, it was the first year the NBA didn't have Jordan.
Why is Jordan no longer around?
He went to play baseball.
Without Jordan's star power, the NBA decided to promote Hill and make him Jordan's successor.
They officially named Hill "Jordan's successor".
Green suddenly realized he had gone off-topic. "In the 1999-00 season, before the playoffs began, he injured his ankle. He decided to play through the injury, but was eventually traded by the Pistons because of it."
Was that staphylococcal infection a misdiagnosis?
Lin Mu keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Green wasn't sure either. "Maybe, but Grant doesn't really trust the team's medical system right now. Most of his treatment and recovery is done here with us."
Lin Mu nodded thoughtfully.
Then he probably understood.
For an athlete who has undergone five surgeries in six consecutive years, made countless comebacks only to fall again, and been tormented by injuries to this extent.
They may have already lost much hope in medicine.
This also explains why Hill's agent came today instead of him.
