Chapter 85 The Little Tricks of the New York Special Surgery Hospital
The next day.
Orthopedics Department, New York Special Surgery Hospital.
The operating room was crowded with people, including doctors who weren't qualified to observe, as well as reporters and students.
They all wanted to know if today's teaching surgery on Lin Mu's ACL double-bundle reconstruction would be successful.
One of the Chinese students nervously clenched his hands.
"Zhang Ke, what's wrong?"
His companion asked.
"I'm afraid Dr. Lin might make a mistake."
Zhang Ke has recently been asked a lot of questions about forests by her classmates at Columbia University's School of Medicine.
Those people used to be so arrogant.
They believe that Asians will always be followers in the field of medicine.
"Don't worry, I've heard that Dr. Lin is very reliable in performing ACL double-bundle reconstruction surgery and has never made a mistake. Even if the patient's condition is more complicated today, it will only take a little more time at most."
Another person offered words of comfort.
Besides Zhang Ke and his group, many other Chinese students are anxiously waiting.
There are also people updating the information on the forum in real time.
[Dr. Lin, give it your all! Let the Americans see what you're made of!]
- [Will the cases selected for Dr. Lin be too complex?]
- [The patient was transferred from my friend's hospital. I heard it's a revision case; the previous ACL reconstruction failed, the bone tunnel is present, but there's still some bone loss. I wonder if the anatomical landmarks are blurry?]
-【Does this even need asking? It's definitely a complete mess, like tofu pudding!】
- [Won't Dr. Lin's surgery fail?]
- [......]
Zhang Ke saw the reporters stirring around, like bloodthirsty sharks in the ocean.
A bad feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.
And just then...
The companion, who had initially been full of confidence in Lin Mu, suddenly narrowed his eyes and then pointed to the top of the operating room with a look of horror.
The lights went out.
How long has the surgery been going on?
It should be less than sixty minutes. In the medical field, sometimes being too fast can actually lead to bad results.
"Did it fail?"
Zhang Ke's voice was so soft that even she couldn't hear it.
crunch.
The operating room door was pushed open, and Lin Mu walked out.
The mask left faint marks on his face.
Before Zhang Ke and the others could go up, reporters swarmed over.
"Dr. Wood, how did today's surgery go?"
"Did something happen in such a short time?"
"..."
When the reporters saw the orthopedic elites behind Lin Mu, such as Fu Haoqiang, their expressions were somewhat blank.
This further solidified my suspicions.
The patient's family was even more startled.
"The surgery was a success."
Lin Mu's tone was indifferent.
He turned and gave the orthopedic surgeons at the New York Special Surgery Hospital a cold look.
If this patient today were just undergoing a medical record revision, it would be fine.
However, the imaging data that New York Special Surgery Hospital provided to me before the surgery was still old footage.
The bone tunnel is widely eccentric, and there is bone resorption in the femoral condyle.
Extensive hyperplasia of scar tissue in the intercondylar fossa.
When Lin Mu examined the patient yesterday, he upgraded the procedure to "internal scar removal surgery".
As for why they didn't turn hostile on the spot...
Because he is confident that he can do a good job of the surgery, it is more cost-effective to turn his back on the company later.
Fu Haoqiang also glared angrily.
He never expected the New York Special Surgery Hospital to be so unscrupulous.
He could naturally guess the reason.
They don't want Chinese people to stand out in the American medical community!
Fu Haoqiang recalled the surgery, and his Adam's apple bobbed wildly.
He had expected the instructional surgery to be slow today.
As a result, Lin Mu looked unfriendly after seeing the patient yesterday.
The surgery was ridiculously fast; during the exploration of the joint cavity, anatomical landmarks were covered by scar tissue and hyperplastic synovium.
He couldn't even see the original anatomical positions of the lateral femoral condyle and tibial spine.
But what about the trees?
They glanced at the screen and proceeded with the layered excision, without even attempting blunt dissection.
The standard procedure involves loosening the tissue for several tens of minutes.
The work on the trees was completed in just a few minutes.
"I've never seen anyone use a C-arm machine like that. After turning it on and taking pictures, they just leave it there and rely on their memory to avoid the old tunnel and the thin bone walls to directly open a tunnel?"
"The key point is that he also took cancellous bone from next to the infrapatellar fat to fill the defect!"
"The bone tunnel was prepared too quickly. If I were to do it, it would take at least an hour, and I would probably have to enlarge the hole and redo it."
"If your bone wall hadn't fractured, Lady Luck would be your mother!"
America's orthopedic elites are now questioning whether medicine even exists.
Otherwise, how could anyone perform surgery like this?
The planned post-operative review was cancelled by Lin Mu.
Lin Mu is usually polite and courteous to people, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a temper.
Fu Haoqiang panicked immediately.
He finally managed to get Lin Mu to come, but this unexpected trouble happened.
What if Lin Muzhen abandons the project?
If the follow-up training courses are cancelled and cooperation negotiations are put on hold... then it's really over.
Major medical institutions in the United States have staked a great deal on ACL double-bundle reconstruction surgery.
It would be fine if you had fully mastered the skills.
However, the first training course ended, and Lin Mu's surgery today...
Let them know that the gap between them and Lin Mu is too big.
They all wanted to continue improving their skills.
What does the glory of American medicine have to do with them?
The skills you learn are the real deal.
So a group of orthopedic experts and directors of the sports medicine society quickly discussed how to handle the situation.
......
Back at the hotel, Lin Mu looked at Pata and said, "Book your flight back to Milan."
"OK!"
Pata knew his place; he simply had to strictly follow Lin Mu's instructions.
They have no right to question it.
Lin Mu sat on the hotel balcony and waited silently.
The New York Special Surgery Hospital is making things difficult for itself; who knows who's behind it?
And this play of mine.
It's not about overturning the table, it's about gaining more benefits.
He plans to open a private clinic in the United States in the future.
It's impossible to fall out with them.
But you also need to leave the other party with the impression that you are not easy to bully.
Otherwise, there will be even more trouble in the future.
Just as he expected.
Lin Mu didn't have to wait long before someone came to visit him.
Rafael, Secretary General of the North American College of Sports Medicine, personally mediated the situation, and the Associate Chief of Orthopedics at the New York Special Surgery Hospital publicly apologized.
The latter sincerely pinned the blame on an orthopedic attending physician.
They said their hospital has been around for 140 years since it was founded by Dr. James in 1863.
It has long been the number one orthopedic clinic in the United States, a prestigious brand with few rivals worldwide.
News & World Report also ranked their hospital's orthopedics department as number one in the world.
last year.
52 specialties and hundreds of doctors at their hospital were simultaneously named among America's best doctors.
Professor John Insell is the father of modern artificial knee joints, who came from here.
This pride led one of the orthopedic surgeons to harbor malicious intentions.
That's why they did these things.
Lin Mu certainly doesn't believe this claim.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
His attitude remained very tough.
Until Fu Haoqiang, acting as an intermediary, brought the news.
"Each surgery incurs a technology licensing fee, with leading medical institutions paying a one-time licensing fee, and there are also official treatment guidelines..."
Fu Haoqiang adopted a very humble attitude.
Lin Mu didn't make things difficult for him.
I was just thinking that before, people were saying Isinbayeva was rich, earning millions of dollars in prize money every year.
Now I've overtaken them in one fell swoop.
This doesn't even include the revenue from licensing medical device patents.
He's still thinking about which manufacturer to partner with.
However, there is already a candidate: Stryker Corporation.
Lin Mu was not only targeting Stryker's weakness in bone tunnel locators.
Stryker's strength in the fields of neurology and spine.
