Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1189 - 1147: Approval from the National Health Commission

Lin Jie hung up after talking to Gao Qin, his expression a bit grave.Pressure is like a mountain!

"Ah Jie, eat first. You haven't finished your breakfast yet. Only when you're full can you tackle all problems."

An Kexin reassured Lin Jie, then said to Hao Jie and Ren Yiran, "You both came here early in the morning, so you probably didn't have time for breakfast. Let's all eat together."

"From now on, we can be considered family."

Lu Juan prepared some more dishes, Lin Jie, An Kexin, Hao Jie, Ren Yiran, and some others like Qin Gang and Guan Muhua sat together to have breakfast again.

As for Kong Mingqing, he contacted the police station to find out that last night's matter had come to a resolution, and he was no longer needed for 24-hour protection. He had his own work to attend to, so he bid farewell.

Lin Miao and An Kemeng had already had breakfast but stayed at the table, occasionally peeling an egg or picking side dishes for Lin Jie and An Kexin.

"Brother Jie, it's Sunday today. Are you still going back to Anlin Hospital or going to the Affiliated Hospital?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "Not today."

"I just made a decision that pushes me to do my utmost, so I need to clear my mind a bit, stop thinking about patients, and then from tomorrow, I'll go all out, success only, no failure."

An Kemeng clapped happily and suggested, "Ah, Brother Jie, nothing is more relaxing and mind-clearing than shopping and watching a movie. How about you go with Miaomiao and me to shop and see a movie?"

An Kexin's face turned serious, "Kemeng, don't mess around!"

"Ah Jie has been working hard recently; if he's not going to the hospital, he should rest well at home. If you want to shop, go yourself. Call some classmates and friends if you want company."

Lin Jie waved his hand, smiling, "Kexin, I don't feel physically tired; the mental stress feels intense. Shopping and watching movies could be a good way to relieve it."

"But last night..."

An Kexin was a bit anxious and worried, but with Lin Miao and An Kemeng present, she couldn't speak too plainly.

Lin Jie replied casually, "It's fine, can't just stay indoors all the time."

"There's also Qin Gang and the others, so don't worry."

He turned to Lin Miao and An Kemeng and asked, "For today's shopping, do you just want to browse, or do you intend to buy something specific?"

Lin Miao chuckled happily, "I just want to browse. If I see some clothes, shoes, or accessories that I like, I might buy them."

"I want to buy a lot of things!"

An Kemeng waved her arms, exclaiming, "I'll be starting college and joining military training at the beginning of August. I realize my clothes and shoes have a heavily cute and girly style."

"I'm a college student now, not a little kid anymore. I need to buy some mature clothes and shoes."

"Brother Jie, you can help me pick some."

Lin Jie hurriedly shook his head, saying, "I can't help you with that, better let your sister be your advisor."

An Kemeng turned her attention to An Kexin, asking, "Sister, how about you not go to the hospital today?"

An Kexin sighed lightly, saying in a troubled tone, "I'd love to go shopping too, but the hospital has a pile of matters waiting for me. Plus, I have to arrange accommodation for Hao Jie and Ren Yiran today."

"For clothes, you can buy anything you like and also ask for some advice from the store manager; their taste is at least better than Ah Jie's..."

After breakfast, they split into two groups.

Guan Muhua and Ren Yiran followed An Kexin back to Anlin Hospital, while the others took the presidential car and headed toward Binjiang Road, Binhai City's bustling mid-to-high-end shopping district.

As a famous person in Binhai, whenever Lin Jie walked into a store, he usually received VIP treatment, with the store manager personally coming out for a warm welcome.

After visiting six or seven stores like this, An Kemeng bought over ten sets of clothes, shoes, and hats, while Lin Miao got two sets.

Lin Jie was persuaded by the two little ones to buy two sets of clothes as well.

During this process, Lin Jie unexpectedly found that Hao Jie, who seemed straightforward, actually had a very good taste.

The clothes she picked or the suggestions she gave always received approval from An Kemeng and Lin Miao.

Lin Miao and An Kemeng were quite considerate of Lin Jie, as they didn't shop for too long, took a more than half-hour break at a cold drink shop, and went to a somewhat renowned Chinese restaurant for lunch by 11:30.

While eating, Lin Miao browsed her phone and said, "Brother, let's not shop in the afternoon; let's go watch a movie."

"What movie do you want to see? A Hollywood blockbuster, or a comedy, romance, or animation?"

Lin Jie casually replied, "You and Kemeng can decide, I'm fine with anything."

The two little ones huddled to discuss for a while, finally deciding to watch a well-reviewed animated film that's said to be both funny and heartfelt.

When buying tickets via phone, Hao Jie said there's no need to buy one for her.

She mentioned she had already seen this movie before, and applied to rest inside the car during this time.

Lin Jie understood that Hao Jie had other arrangements, so he nodded in agreement.

At this point, An Kemeng gleefully announced, "Brother Jie, Sister Fei Xue told me that the movie adapted from my novel is scheduled for release in the year-end Spring Festival block!"

"Sister Fei Xue said there would also be a grand premiere ceremony."

"By then, we'll walk the red carpet together and watch the premiere show."

Lin Jie lightly hummed and said, "I heard from Momo that the filming is not going smoothly, with some minor accidents and such. Have you been in touch with Momo? How's the movie filming going now?"

Lin Miao softly replied, "Brother, we chat often."

"Momo said that shooting on location is tough, because it's the middle of summer, running and jumping makes her sweat all over, and once she sweats, she needs to change clothes and touch up makeup, which is troublesome."

"Also, what Momo fears the most are all sorts of bugs, which are hard to guard against."

"One night, a large snake crawled into a female staff member's tent and scared her so much she fainted."

"The snake was then taken by the crew's chef and made into soup."

Lin Jie sighed lightly and said, "In any industry, achieving success isn't easy. Behind the glamorous facade of a star is a lot of sweat and tears."

"Tell Momo not to fear hardship; hard work will eventually pay off."

Lin Miao responded with a hum, then said, "Brother, do you remember the guy who had surgery to look like Hu Ge and made really delicious pastries?"

Lin Jie nodded and casually asked, "I remember, I also remember his name is Gan Yong."

"What happened to him?

He reminisced, saying, "Now that you mention it, I remember the delicious pastries he made. After we watch the movie, we can detour to his pastry shop and buy some."

"Brother, you won't get to eat those pastries anymore."

Lin Miao, smiling with squinted eyes, said, "Momo said he's signed a contract with Hu Ge to become his exclusive body double and will be working with Hu Ge from now on, which means he's entered the entertainment industry."

Lin Jie shook his head and said regretfully, "If that's the case, his pastry-making skills will go to waste, won't they? If I'd known, we shouldn't have made the two look so alike."

Lin Miao just laughed and praised, "Who made your skills so brilliant, brother."

"Momo said that after the makeup artist finished with them, the two looked like twin brothers, indistinguishable unless you looked very closely."

"The crew saw Gan Yong's photos from before the surgery, and they have deep admiration for you."

"Momo also said many people secretly asked her if you could perform cosmetic surgery on them!"

Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Tell Momo to inform them that Anlin Hospital's plastic surgery department currently has renowned experts from famous international hospitals, and the cosmetic surgery skills are excellent."

Just then, Lin Jie received a call from Minister Xiao Chen of the Health Commission.

"Expert Lin, I just reviewed the report submitted by the expert group. They hold a cautiously supportive attitude towards your idea of using tumor patients' organs for transplant experiments."

Xiao Chen informed over the phone, "Expert Lin, after discussions with relevant departments in the ministry, we have decided to approve your use of tumor patients' organs for transplant experiments."

Just as Lin Jie was feeling delighted, he heard another word, "However…"

"Expert Lin, the current approval for this experiment is limited to using the functional liver of malignant tumor patients for liver transplant experiments on large liver cancer patients."

Upon hearing this condition, Lin Jie frowned.

He immediately understood the reason behind the Health Commission's restriction.

The so-called "large liver cancer patients" refer to those with a single tumor diameter greater than five centimeters, expansively growing with a capsule or pseudocapsule formation, classified as large liver cancer or giant liver cancer.

The vast majority of these patients have cancer emboli in their intrahepatic or extrahepatic portal venous systems.

After receiving liver transplants, regardless of aggressive treatment, the recurrence rate within a year can reach eighty percent, with extensive spread as soon as two months post-operation, and a three-year survival rate below thirty percent.

The U.S. liver cancer patient Luthor, whom Lin Jie took on, is just such a patient.

However, his liver tumor condition is relatively better, with enough liver tissue remaining uninfected by the tumor.

Lin Jie has already removed cancer emboli from Luthor's veins and resected the liver tumor through surgery.

He is currently undergoing the second phase of treatment with Luthor.

Lin Jie speculates that the Health Commission imposed this restriction with the idea that since these patients' situations are already dire, it might be better to give them to him for clinical trials, hoping for a miracle.

Even if this clinical trial fails and the liver transplant patients contract another tumor from the transplanted organ, things couldn't worsen significantly.

Then Minister Xiao's voice continued from the phone, "Expert Lin, our country is a liver cancer powerhouse, with about fifty percent of global liver cancer patients."

"Expert Lin, if you can effectively address the issue of cancer recurrence in large liver cancer patients after liver transplants, it would be a Nobel Prize-worthy research achievement."

Lin Jie resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Minister Xiao, I will do my best."

Minister Xiao started to compliment Lin Jie, "Expert Lin, you are the Child of Miracles. I believe you will definitely bring us another great surprise."

"Also, although we've approved your verbal request, you'll still need to submit a formal project application report as part of the regular procedure."

Lin Jie, not very enthusiastic, replied, "I will submit this project application report as soon as possible."

Xiao Chen nodded over the phone and asked, "Expert Lin, the market price of ginseng has skyrocketed more than twenty times compared to the same period last year. Has this significantly impacted your production of the inducer?"

Lin Jie said truthfully, "Not at the moment. We had consciously stocked some ginseng previously and also have fixed suppliers. There won't be any impact in the short term."

"That's good! Expert Lin, if you need the Health Commission or other departments to step in, please don't hesitate…"

After hanging up the call with Minister Xiao, Lin Jie saw that everyone had finished eating, so he asked Qin Gang to pay the bill, and they headed to the nearby cinema…
