Dr. Robert's office, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA.
The strong aroma of coffee permeated the air, and Robert had already drank three cups. His assistant Barel was sitting opposite him, across the desk from him.
"Barel, let me ask you a few questions, and you have to answer them truthfully." Robert looked solemn.
Barrel was at a loss, and Robert suddenly called him to the office. He thought for a long time before asking a serious question.
This question must be very serious and important. Is it about yourself and the female intern doctor?
It shouldn’t be. A consensual relationship does not violate the relevant regulations of the hospital, nor does it use authority to coerce.
"Am I Robert?" Robert asked suddenly with his elbows on the table.
"Yes, doctor!" Barrel replied passively.
"Is this New York Hospital for Special Surgery?"
"Yes, Doctor!"
"This hospital ranks first in the world in orthopedics?"
"Yes, Doctor!"
"I am the current president of the North American Society of Arthroscopy and Sports Medicine?"
"Yes, Doctor!"
"Okay, Barel, go and do your work. I want to be alone." Robert's tense facial muscles relaxed and he waved his hand, indicating that Barel could leave, and the question officially ended.
Inexplicable, just asking these questions? These questions are so naive and simple that it makes people feel weird.
"Doctor! Do I need to call the police or request psychological assistance?"
Barrel suspected that Robert had a mental problem, something was obviously wrong, and now Robert was playing with a top in his hand.
"What is this?"
Barrell asked. He saw Robert playing with the top several times in the office, letting it spin on the desktop, and then lying on the desk and staring at the top until it fell over.
When did Mr. Robert become interested in playing tops? Barrel was worried and left immediately without getting up.
"Are you sure you don't need psychological assistance?" Barrel asked again.
The hospital has a psychiatrist who is always available to answer questions and provide psychological counseling for doctors.
This is a routine configuration in American hospitals. Doctors are in a high-risk profession and are under tremendous pressure, especially young doctors, who often need psychological help.
Barrell always felt that something was wrong with Robert after he came back from China, but there was nothing abnormal when he saw him undergoing surgery.
As a colleague and assistant, he has the responsibility to pay attention to Robert's mental health.
"Don't worry, Barel, I'm fine. When something goes beyond common sense, I always want to treat it with a scientific attitude. I have done many self-analyses on these scales. It should be that the psychological stress period has not passed yet.
No big deal."
Robert took out several forms and threw them to Barrel, which were all self-psychological examination scales.
"If I tell you, I went to China this time and met a young doctor who can be my mentor. His surgery is unparalleled. The gap between me and him is the same as the gap between you and me, or even bigger.
"Robert's logic is clear.
"It's impossible. This is equivalent to saying that a certain street boxer can defeat Tyson at his peak. People love to hear about it, but the fact is that it is impossible, regardless of training time, training intensity, training methods, competition experience, and coaching configuration.
, nutritional support, no street fighter can beat Tyson." Barrell's analysis is not unreasonable.
"What about the Hulk? It would be easy to defeat Tyson."
"That's Marvel bullshit!"
"But in fact, I saw it. Okay, Barrell, I won't argue with you. There are still a few patients scheduled for this month that I haven't seen yet."
"There are seven other professional football players on Long Island, one of whom has ruptured multiple ligaments in his knee."
Robert's luxury clinic is located in Long Island, New York. Every week, Robert takes time to go to his clinic for surgery. Of course, Barrell and others follow him.
This clinic is actually a luxury specialty hospital with authority over all sports medicine surgeries. Many sports stars complete surgeries here and then receive rehabilitation treatment from the clinic's rehabilitation team.
They receive one-stop services from diagnosis to surgery to recovery.
Only those who don't care about money will choose this place for the huge surgical fees. Of course, Robert will not disappoint. His superb skills have long made the surgical results the best. Inheriting the tradition of his grandfather and father, they performed on the patients.
Long-term follow-up.
That is to say, he has the best follow-up service in the world. It is said that some of the patients who were operated on by his grandfather are still being followed up in his clinic.
Some patients were unable to obtain good results due to the limitations of medical technology at the time. They came to Robert Jr. for revision using the latest surgery.
This is a clinic that has been in operation for three generations. Going back further, his ancestors are Germans, that is, Robert is of German descent, and his grandfather was also a famous doctor in Germany.
Knee multi-ligament reconstruction!
This word once frustrated Robert, who never had a truly successful operation.
The real success is to restore athletes' ability to exercise and return to the competition. Robert can't do that.
Now, when he heard this word, he didn't feel the same fear as before, he just said lightly:
"What are the new developments in Little Andrew's special surgical instruments and implants? How does OrthoPediatrics respond?"
"The engineer said that the samples will be in front of you next week. He said that if you were not a doctor, they would be unemployed. The device you designed is too exquisite. I don't know if you have applied for a patent. He suggested that you apply for a patent." p>
"This was not designed by me, but by my teacher. No, I never steal. I told them to just produce according to the drawings. If they dare to secretly apply for a patent, I promise to bankrupt them."
"Your teacher?"
Barrell had never heard Robert call his father that way. He always called his father Mr. Robert from Florida because his father lived in Palm Beach, Florida.
It is well known that Robert's teacher is his father.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm referring to a Chinese doctor. Yes, don't be so surprised. He is my teacher. He pioneered the surgical method of that lucky veteran, but I haven't mastered it yet. Barrel
, I tell you, his surgical patients can return to the game. I have seen it with my own eyes. He is the best sports medicine doctor in the world."
"You mean, you mean, you went to China this time just to visit this teacher?" Barrer couldn't believe it.
Robert answered naturally: "Yes!"
"It's a magical hospital with magical doctors. Not everyone has this opportunity. Even if I was there, I could only stand outside the yellow line and watch. If you were Barrel, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be qualified to enter the operating room.
No, a trauma surgeon from Japan respectfully makes tea for their teaching secretary every day. Yes, my teacher also used an arthroscope to sculpt the olive pit of the knee joint model."
"Arthroscopic olivary nucleus carving? Are you sure that what you are talking about is not imagination, but reality?"
"I can swear that if there is any lie, Carmela will marry me." Robert put his hand on his chest.
Oh my god, only Barel knows the weight of this vow. How could he endure marrying a woman?
"I have decided to ask my teacher to do little Andrew's surgery. You should be prepared. I will contact the teacher and ask him when he will be free and able to fly to the United States."
"Barel, keep your eyes open when the time comes and prepare a top, otherwise you will think you are in a dream. Listen to me, that's right."
Barrel caught a glimpse of the top on his desk. No wonder, it turned out to be for this purpose.
"The operation is scheduled to be carried out in Changdao, so prepare as soon as possible. This is the first time I have asked the teacher to perform an operation. There can be no negligence. Once the teacher's time is confirmed, we will be able to start the operation."
Barrell now feels that Robert is normal. It is impossible for him to make fun of little Andrew, let alone gamble with the reputation of generations of medical practitioners. It is certain that this person really exists.
Moreover, the patient of Robert's new surgery, the Navy lieutenant, had very good postoperative results. Dr. Robert has never had such results with this kind of surgery. The facts do not lie.
Robert took out the printed drawings and placed them on his desk: "Barrel, come here and take a look!"
"Be careful, your arm wrinkles the drawing." Robert pushed away Barrel's arm that touched the drawing.
"You see, he cleverly avoided the epiphysis, whether it was the tibia or the femur. He used a bypass method to suspend the ligaments away from the epiphysis, and made an end-embedded design. You can see that they still play a good role.
, this is a genius idea, why didn’t I think of doing this." Robert explained happily.
Barrell is also an expert in sports medicine. After some advice from Robert, he saw the mystery. Indeed, this genius idea completely solved the difficulty of reconstructing the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in children.
"What else do you want me to do?" Barrel was very excited.
Robert thought for a moment: "All scheduled patients, who have multiple ligament ruptures in the shoulder and knee joints, should be notified in advance to undergo MRI and CT examinations, as well as complete motion analysis. Now for all such patients, I will ask a teacher to perform the surgery.
Until I really master this kind of surgery, I need to do it as soon as possible. I want to get the data in advance."
"I will notify the Long Island Clinic now." Barrell said.
