All kinds of media reporters were waiting in front of the operating theater of Metropolis Hospital. As soon as the door to the operating theater opened, they immediately went up for an interview. Jonathan would personally act as the chief surgeon. Annalise and a few other traditional medicine practitioners would go in to assist him.
Because Jonathan still had to bring his two personal assistants, only four people from the traditional medicine team could enter. Ludwig was curious. He insisted on going in and assisting Jonathan. Graham also wanted to go in and observe Jonathan perform the surgery. In the past, Graham could not let go of his status. He used to think everyone should respect him.
But now, his viewpoint had suddenly changed. He saw hope in the younger generation of practitioners and believed they would surpass their seniors. He wanted to see how talented the world-famous Jonathan was. Hector also wanted to go in, but he gave up the opportunity to his favorite disciple. The surgery team was finalized.
During the surgery, Jonathan’s eyes lit like fire. His hand holding the knife was precise and powerful. When he removed part of the patient’s liver, he did not hesitate at all. Every cut was decisive and accurate. Graham was amazed. No wonder Jonathan was so famous. How could ordinary people compare to him?
“Anna, take a look,” Jonathan called out. Annalise glanced at it and gestured. “From here, to here.” Jonathan used the scalpel again. Graham was even more amazed. Did the internationally renowned Jonathan listen to what Annalise had to say?
He leaned over and saw that the area that Annalise gestured made perfect sense. Although Graham had always majored in traditional medicine, he also had some achievements in modern medicine. He knew how surgeries should be performed. He knew very well that a surgical procedure placed high requirements on the chief surgeon. He could not help but take a few more glances at Annalise.
There was only one possibility why Jonathan listened to Annalise’s opinion. It meant that Annalise’s medical skills were comparable to Jonathan’s.. It would be great if someone with such great potential could become his disciple. As Graham thought about it, he looked at Annalise intensely. It was as if he was looking at his beloved disciple. As for the modern medicine team… Gwen was the chief surgeon.
Although Gwen was not emotionally intelligent and was self-righteous, always feeling like she was better than others in everything, she was very capable in the medical field. Under her leadership, the surgery was very successful. However, cancer was not something that could be treated with surgery. To prevent the cancer cells from spreading, a long period of chemotherapy radiation therapy was required.
During chemotherapy and radiation therapy, the body would produce all kinds of immune reactions. If the patient survived, they would live for a few more years. But some would not survive. Chemotherapy and radiation would destroy cancer cells. But they would also attack other healthy cells.
Many people’s bodies could not withstand it. When their cancer and healthy cells were destroyed, their bodies became crippled. They could not even withstand any exposure to the outdoor weather. However, there was no better solution at the moment.
Gwen completed the surgery and looked up at the clock on the wall. It took two hours and seventeen minutes. Finishing a liver cancer surgery in such a short time was exactly what she wanted. She guessed that Jonathan was not done yet.
She knew about Jonathan’s story. But despite being so hardworking and having performed so many surgeries, he was still slow. She left the operating theater first. At first, she thought that Jonathan had yet to leave the operating theater, but she noticed that he was already standing at the entrance of the operating theater, calmly accepting an interview.
The reporter asked Jonathan sharply, “Professor Woods, are you using modern medicine techniques to perform surgery? Do you think the fact that you used modern medicine techniques was a concession to modern medicine, admitting that modern medicine is better than traditional medicine?”
