Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1125 - 1085: Absolute Windfall

"'The Lancet'? Cover?"Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, and Guan Yifan were very surprised when they heard Lin Jie's students excitedly shouting.

They knew very well that as an internationally renowned, authoritative academic weekly in the medical field, "The Lancet" magazine does not cover a person on every issue.

Issues with cover personalities only appear three or four times a year at most.

The people who have the honor of being on the cover are either those who have made outstanding contributions and are recognized by the global medical community as major figures, or those who have made groundbreaking achievements that are enough to cause a sensation in the entire medical field.

"Let me take a look!"

An impatient Jiang Hao took the phone from Gao Yanhong and saw the electronic journal cover displayed on the screen.

The first thing that caught his eye was a half-length portrait of Lin Jie.

He looked calmly into the distance, and his deep, pool-like black eyes seemed to hold infinite mysteries.

Seeing those familiar English letters "THE LANCET," Jiang Hao, full of envy, opened the journal, entered the table of contents, and then opened the first paper.

The foreword was written by the Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Ariel Skeller.

In her foreword, she wrote about sending a friend to China, Binhai, to receive treatment from Dr. Lin Jie and discovered, to her amazement, that Dr. Lin Jie was experimenting with a new method to treat malignant tumors.

She was extremely excited to find that this new experimental therapy hosted by Dr. Lin had already achieved breakthrough results in treating intraspinal malignant tumors.

To benefit more patients, at her request, Dr. Lin specifically consolidated this interim result to provide it to practitioners worldwide for discussion and validation.

Skeller wrote: "In China, many people call Dr. Lin Jie the 'Child of Miracles,' because he always achieves what others cannot, creates miracles, and saves lives."

"In my eyes, this title is well-deserved for Dr. Lin."

"Objectively speaking, the experimental therapy hosted by Dr. Lin, which induces control over tumor growth, still essentially belongs to a controlling treatment for tumors, rather than a curative one."

"However, reaching a certain limit where malignant tumor patients achieve survival periods beyond the average lifespan can be considered a complete cure in a certain sense."

"In conversation with Dr. Lin, he confidently told me that the experimental therapy he is leading has particularly significant effects on controlling and treating intraspinal and brain tumors, especially those that have relapsed for the second time."

"Currently, the ambitious Dr. Lin is conducting trial treatments on over forty patients with various kinds of solid malignant tumors, confidently telling me that his experimental therapy has yielded quite good expected results."

"We look forward to seeing more miracles created by Dr. Lin in the near future."

Jiang Hao quickly skimmed through the paper written by Lin Jie and couldn't help exclaiming, "Expert Lin, you've already shocked China, and now you're starting to amaze the whole world from today."

"Of course, my teacher is super invincible."

Gao Yanhong said with admiration, "This article is just the first shock. I suppose it won't be long before another research result from my teacher is published, shocking the world once again."

"Expert Lin, have you made another major discovery?"

Seeing the surprised and inquisitive looks from Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, and Guan Yifan, Lin Jie said somewhat sheepishly, "I made a small discovery unintentionally."

"But it requires further experiments to collect data."

Lei Jun lamented, "It truly is infuriating to compare oneself to others."

"Expert Lin can casually make a discovery that astonishes the world. It's tougher than ascending to heaven for me to just make waves in Binhai!"

Guan Yifan also sighed deeply and said, "Dr. Jiang, Dr. Lei, this is the most direct difference between a talented genius like them and us regular competitors."

"We need to face reality and stop thinking about what's beyond our reach."

Seeing Lei Jun and Jiang Hao nodding vigorously in agreement, Lin Jie chuckled, pointed at the three of them, and said, "You three are already notable figures, so don't mislead my students."

"Don't attribute your current state, due to your laziness and lack of effort early on, to the vague concept of talent."

Lin Jie suddenly remembered a piece of motivational content he'd read a few days ago and felt like giving a lecture.

He said to Gao Yanhong, Ma Hongmin, Zeng Yang, Zhao Fang, and others, "So-called talent may determine a person's upper limit, but the effort made by the Chinese is far from reaching the point where talent must be the deciding factor."

"There's a formula, 1.01 to the power of 365 is approximately 37.8, while 0.99 to the power of 365 is approximately 0.03."

"This tells us..."

Ma Hongmin excitedly continued Lin Jie's sentence, "Efforting a little more each day can take you a thousand miles; slacking a bit will lead you into the abyss. Teacher, we all know this inspirational numerical formula."

"But teacher, this formula isn't very convincing."

"Why must it be an exponential function? Why not see it as 1.01 or 0.99 multiplied by 365, where the resulting difference isn't much?"

Lin Jie was annoyed. Wasn't this undermining him?

He glared at Ma Hongmin and continued, "Here's another formula: 1.02 to the power of 365 is approximately 1377.4."

"This shows that someone who exerts just a little more effort than you, after accumulation over time, leaves you far behind."

The knowing Ma Hongmin quickly agreed, "Teacher, you're absolutely right."

"Take an example from around us: previously, the most outstanding one was the self-proclaimed extraordinary Yu Jingsheng. But now, he's been overtaken by Senior Brother Zeng and others by far."

Zeng Yang resisted the urge to cover his head and softly reminded, "Ma Hongmin, the main reason we've made such rapid progress is due to our teacher's meticulous and personalized guidance. Our diligence plays a smaller part."

"Honestly, Yu Jingsheng's level of diligence is not less than ours."

Ma Hongmin looked distressed and said, "Sorry, Teacher, I got too excited and wanted to show off in front of you, so I kept saying the wrong things."

"I'm not going to talk anymore."

After saying this, she covered her mouth and hid behind Gao Yanhong.

Lin Jie shook his head, looked at Gao Yanhong, and instructed, "Gao Yanhong, I need to perform a surgery tomorrow, reconstructing fragmented bones. Conduct an experiment tonight and see if you can find a specific way to accelerate bone healing."

Gao Yanhong immediately gave a salute and loudly replied, "Yes, teacher, I promise to complete the task!"

Lin Jie rolled his eyes, waved dismissively, and said, "Get back to whatever you all should be doing!"

After sending the students away, he said to Jiang Hao, Lei Jun, and Guan Yifan, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see that unlucky kid with most of his face blown up."

The three of them walked towards the inpatient ward with Lin Jie.

Jiang Hao laughed lightly and said, "Expert Lin, the relationship between you and your students makes us envious."

Lin Jie shook his head and sighed softly, "Not like before."

"In the past, these guys had some awe for me, you could say they did whatever I told them, but recently they've become more unruly, it's becoming more and more outrageous..."

Arriving at the intensive care unit of the inpatient building, Lin Jie personally checked the terrifying facial injuries of the unlucky child.

Upon learning that Lin Jie was going to take over the child's treatment, the child's parents were so moved that they cried tears of joy and repeatedly expressed their gratitude.

"Don't have too high expectations!"

Lin Jie reminded, "The child's injuries are too severe! The left eye definitely cannot be saved; in the future, a prosthetic eye will be needed. If the olfactory function of the nose can recover 20%, that would be considered good."

"Also, the hearing function in the left ear will likely suffer a great loss. The tongue will also be mostly damaged, affecting the child's normal speech."

"Furthermore, the recovery from the surgery is not a one-time thing."

"This might take one to two years, involving dozens of surgeries. It will be an extremely painful ordeal for the child and a tremendous torment for you as well."

The child's father looked at the child lying in the intensive care unit and said, "Expert Lin, we understand this outcome. For us now, as long as the child can live and be with us, we are satisfied."

"Expert Lin, please do your utmost..."

The child's debridement surgery was led by Guan Yifan.

Meanwhile, Lin Jie occasionally took congratulatory calls and exchanged pleasantries with those who came to offer their congratulations.

After receiving more than a dozen congratulatory calls, Lin Jie became somewhat overwhelmed, simply turned off his phone, left the hospital, and returned directly to Xiangtai Apartment.

Upon returning home, Lin Jie happened to catch the time to have dinner with Lin Miao, An Kexin, and An Kemeng.

Halfway through dinner, Lin Miao asked with a hint, "Brother, don't you feel that the house has become much quieter?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said, "I don't feel it's quieter. In the past, it was just you and me having dinner together."

Lin Miao was left speechless, pouting, "Brother, you also said that was in the past."

"Xiaoxiao and Nannan went to the United States, and Yuanyuan is often not at home, I always feel the house suddenly turned quiet."

She then smiled and said, "Brother, Kexin, after you get married, hurry up and have a baby."

"With a little baby at home, it will be lively."

Lin Jie glanced at An Kexin and lightly laughed, "Having children is not something to rush, it should happen naturally..."

Just then, An Kexin's phone rang.

She picked it up and looked at it, puzzled, "It's a call from Maxwell in the United States!"

An Kexin answered a couple of sentences and then handed the phone to Lin Jie, saying, "It's for you; they said your phone was off!"

Lin Jie responded with an "Oh," took the phone, and said, "Hello, Dr. Maxwell!"

"Dr. Lin, congratulations! I thoroughly studied your paper and congrats on achieving another significant, impactful, groundbreaking accomplishment."

Lin Jie replied politely, "Thank you for the recognition! However, this experimental therapy still needs more cases for validation."

"Dr. Lin, your explanation in the paper of the experimental method of inducing tumor growth by pushing forward and pulling back can be said to open a new therapeutic approach for tumor treatment and control."

"Dr. Lin, I happen to have two patients with recurrent brain tumors, their treatment has been troubling me."

Maxwell asked tentatively over the phone, "Dr. Lin, I also want to try your experimental new therapy, but I'm not sure about the inducer you developed?"

Lin Jie laughed and said, "Being able to personally validate this experimental therapy is my honor. However, the inducer is still in the experimental phase, cannot be mass-produced, and the cost is somewhat high!"

Maxwell responded cheerfully over the phone, "High research cost is natural. Dr. Lin, just name your price!"

Lin Jie thought for a moment and resolutely said, "One vial, ten thousand..."

"Only ten thousand US dollars? Expert Lin, I'll reserve fifty vials first; please give me an account number, I'll transfer the funds to you now!"

Lin Jie was taken aback.

He originally intended to say ten thousand RMB.

After all, Zhou Ziyan told him that the production cost of the low-spec version of the inducer was around five hundred RMB.

Raising the price by twenty times, Lin Jie thought he was being quite greedy, but unexpectedly Maxwell considered it at ten thousand US dollars, and even used the word "only."

This indeed was absolute profiteering.
