NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 146: Personal surgery and four-year agreement with Liu Xiang!

Liu Xiang cried again today, but he was crying out of excitement. He read Jiang Ming's explanations to him over and over again. With so many good people helping him, how could he not be more supportive!
So he directly expressed his only wish, which was to choose Jiang Ming's team to perform surgery on him!
No matter what the rest of the team thinks, his opinion is here and the surgery must be done.

This scared everyone. No matter what kind of surgery it was, it couldn't be done easily for such a top athlete!

Hence the meeting!
Think long term!
But now it is actually very simple to give Jiang Ming "extra points".

The two private doctors who saw Jiang Ming in person last night suggested taking an X-ray first to see if what Jiang Ming said was correct. Now all the team members agreed to take an X-ray first.

And the results of the film showed exactly the same symptoms as Jiang Ming described!
That’s awesome!
This made many people in the team who had opinions about Jiang Ming look at him in a new light. Strength is the hard truth, and Jiang Ming is already the chief team doctor recognized by NBA teams like the Trail Blazers. Therefore, this meeting was held very quickly, and the topic was to find which hospital or medical team to treat Liu Xiang.

And whether to receive treatment in China or in the United States.
Sun Haiping:
"Should we go to the United States, or should we do it in China while Dr. Jiang Ming is still in China?"

Among the members of the meeting was Yao Ming, who happened to be visiting his fellow townsman in Shanghai. With Yao Ming's help, Jiang Ming's team was quickly confirmed.

In order to prove Jiang Ming's strength, Yao Ming called the Houston Rockets' team doctor Clanton on the spot and sent him the MRI image so that he could diagnose the injury remotely.

Thomas Clanton had only one word: "Surgery."

That’s even more of a problem. Let’s go with the surgery!
Jiang Ming is the surgeon who performs surgery on Liu Xiang!

As for whether Jiang Ming is willing?

Liu Xiang can wait, and he can name any price he wants. Is it true that the cash flow of China's top track and field player is just a reputation?
So there is no need to worry that any doctor or hospital would refuse to treat someone like Liu Xiang. It is a great honor to cure him.

Yao Ming hugged Liu Xiang before leaving:
"Get well and I'll wait for your return!"

"Hey, I envy you guys, you made it to the top four, congratulations!"

"That's also thanks to Jiang Ming. Just trust him and it will be done. His team is full of geniuses!"

"I see it!"

Liu Xiang's team is right to be confident.

Although Jiang Ming did not attend the meeting, when Liu Xiang personally called to tell him the result, Jiang Ming agreed without hesitation:
"Okay, let's do the surgery now while I'm still on vacation."

"Yeah! You could have just done it for me last night."

Liu Xiang is not afraid of surgery at all now. He even wants to quickly remove the bone spur that is tormenting him on his right foot. The pain is too unbearable!

Go for surgery to remove it quickly, recover, get back on the court, and prove it to everyone again.

"Haha, that won't work. It's not that urgent yet. The doctor-patient relationship is an extreme manifestation of the complexity of human nature. No matter how skilled I am, I can't just do it, unless it's a life-threatening situation."

In the doctor's law, life is above all else.

Just like when Jiang Ming initially performed a makeshift surgery on the black child on the platform, at that time he no longer cared about the consequences of failure. He only knew that if he didn't do it, the child would die!

Liu Xiang has time to hold meetings to decide on treatment plans, which is not an emergency at all.
"Yeah, so when are we going to have the surgery?"

"The sooner the better. I'll come over now to sign it."

"OK! Sorry to bother you, Dr. Jiang!"

After 1 hours.

After arriving at the hotel where Liu Xiang was staying, Jiang Ming confirmed the contents of the medical contract.

The surgery fee is 500 million US dollars, 100 million of which is paid first, and half of the other expenses will be paid after the surgery is successful. The remaining full amount will be paid after the patient recovers and is able to play.

Jiang Ming changed one thing, which was that after he took over Liu Xiang's surgery and until he recovered, everything had to be decided by their team and no one was allowed to interfere.

Including hiring and operating table selection personally!

Sun Haiping originally wanted to ask if the medical environment and service in the United States were better, but since Jiang Ming made the decision himself, he didn't say anything. After signing the contract, Jiang Ming immediately asked the team members to start working. Jiang Muyan was responsible for finding President Li Yang's Zhentian Pharmaceutical to prepare the surgery drugs.

Fang Xiaotong went to contact the operating room. If Jiang Ming was going to have the operation, he would definitely choose the most comfortable environment. In Jiang Ming's opinion, it didn't matter whether it was domestic or foreign, so Jiang Ming chose Dongli Hospital this time. Moreover, as long as it was an operating room under his father Jiang Yu, Fang Xiaotong would be familiar with it.

It was natural for Jiang Yu to give up this time for Jiang Ming to use his operating room. This was not because of family affection, but mainly because the money he gave was too much. He had never seen any great doctor come here and pay such a high price for operating surgery.

Even if he disagreed, the dean had to agree. Liu Xiang had surgery at Dongli Hospital, which was a great honor for their hospital! Wouldn't patients come here to treat their illnesses in an endless stream?
Sean was responsible for making the surgical plan, taking Liu Xiang through various preoperative examinations, and was mainly responsible for contacting Liu Xiang's team to determine whether the conditions for the surgery were met.

Under Jiang Ming's well-organized arrangement, Liu Xiang was lying on the operating table in the evening of the next day.

While Sean was giving Liu Xiang anesthesia, Jiang Ming was wearing gloves and chatting with Liu Xiang:
“Do you feel regretful this time?”

Liu Xiang blinked under the bright lights: "It's definitely a pity."

"Promise me that I will come to London to watch you compete in four years, and I will stand on the podium then, OK?"

"Okay, this is the agreement between us!"

Liu Xiang stretched out his little finger to make pinky promises with Jiang Ming, but lost consciousness the moment it hooked with his.

The operation begins!
The main task of this operation is to remove the calcification points on Liu Xiang's feet, which is very familiar to Jiang Ming's team.

Although Jiang Ming has never done it, Jiang Muyan, Sean, and Fang Xiaotong have all done it too many times.

Plus, with mom and dad personally watching, there will be no mistakes.

This operating room, coupled with their experience, is truly foolproof.

This was also the first time that Jiang Ming's parents watched their son undergo surgery live. After watching the first few steps and the first incision, they left with peace of mind. Staying in the operating room would have been a hindrance.

“My son’s hands are much steadier than mine.”

"The disciple is better than the master, not bad! He is worthy of being the director in the United States."

"Haha."

After they came out, Sun Haiping and others hurried over to ask questions.

"You don't need to worry too much about this surgery because there is almost no risk and it will come out soon."

Jiang Yu and Li Yang were also very optimistic that Liu Xiang would be able to recover soon, so they signaled Sun Haiping to stay behind and the other relatives and friends to wait outside the ward.

Jiang Ming's hands were indeed very powerful. After removing three calcified substances and one bone spur, they completed the task of this operation. It was simple and efficient!

After being pushed out, Jiang Yu glanced at the wound on Liu Xiang's foot and gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up. The dean who saw the right moment came over also praised:

"Jiang Yu, your son is different! He finished it so quickly!"

"The operation was successful!" Fang Xiaotong directly said these four words to Sun Haiping, which made him completely relieved!
"Thank you!!! Thank you!!!" Sun Haiping, who treats Liu Xiang like a son, burst into tears.

"As you should. From now on, you will have to rely on yourselves."

Next, Liu Xiang resumed his own training.

Jiang Ming calculated the time and felt that he would not be able to accompany Liu Xiang until he could wear spikes, as he would have been working for the Trail Blazers by then.

Training and recovery are bound to be full of sweat and pain, but Liu Xiang has endured the hardships before the surgery and before the competition, so it is impossible for him to fail in this small post-operative training and recovery.

So he is still relieved about this. Liu Xiang is not a player of the national football team. He broke the 110-meter hurdles record with great effort!
The first thing Liu Xiang asked Jiang Ming after he woke up was:
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to now?"

"Stop nightclubs, stay away from cigarettes and alcohol, eat less snacks, and get more sleep."
