NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 19: Emperor Oden becomes a cadaver teacher and is touched
"Yes, we must keep talents like you, Doctor Jiang!"

Larry Miller seemed very urgent.

This made Jiang Ming scratch his head. What did Zhang Mingji say to him that made him sign him directly? ? ?

Or did he know that I saved someone at the light rail station?
Not likely. News wouldn't spread so quickly. And if the president really knew, he would be very casual with Sean. Sean also played an important role. If he hadn't stopped the bleeding on the little boy's neck correctly at the beginning, the boy would have died by the time Jiang Ming arrived.

It should be because of his identity as the former Rockets team doctor. Thomas, who treated the former head coach, is still too famous.

Sure enough, Larry Miller also realized that he had spoken too suddenly and explained:
"You are a team doctor from the Rockets, and you helped Yi Jianlian recover on the spot. You also know that our team doctor team is short-staffed right now, so we are in urgent need of talent, especially young people like you, who will soon be trained to become a backbone."

The main reason is that Zhang Mingji also said in the email that this is a Chinese doctor with a background in traditional Chinese medicine, which means he is not within the U.S. medical system and would not care about the theories of Thomas Reese and his gang.

If the medical skills of Chinese doctors can completely change the Trail Blazers' team medical environment, he doesn't mind overthrowing Jensen's outdated medical system.

It always helps to try. Last year he even recruited an Indian doctor, but he fired him because he didn't pay enough attention to hygiene.

However, Jiang Ming would not believe the capitalists' empty promises. Almost every hospital director or dean would say such empty promises to young people when they first entered the hospital. It would be better to say something more practical:
"Haha, can I ask about the salary?"

"20 yuan annual salary, one year trial, how about that?"

20 is a drop in the bucket for the Trail Blazers' medical team. Every time Jensen applies to purchase equipment, the amount starts at one million. But for a small doctor like Jiang Ming, it is already enough. Besides, there are no restrictions on team doctors making extra money. Team doctors can't just sit idle at home during the long NBA offseason.

"Sir, I'm here for a consultation."

"I know, the two don't affect each other. You just lost your job, so wouldn't it be great if you could make a seamless transition?"

"Well, thank you Mr. President for considering this for me, but I think I should wait until the consultation is over before making a decision."

If Jiang Ming had been deceived two months ago, he would have signed the contract directly out of enthusiasm, but now he postponed the president's direct signing on the spot, and said confidently that he would go for a consultation first.

Let’s test the goods first!
Therefore, this "decision" was not made by Jiang Ming. It was most likely that it was Larry Miller who decided whether to give Jiang Ming more money.

Larry Miller subconsciously showed a black question mark face for a second, thinking how could he let go of such a good job opportunity?
Could he be the little black guy of the Trail Blazers? (Note: the one who said veterinarian.)
That's impossible. Dr. Xiao Heizi wouldn't be so proactive in coming to the Trail Blazers for consultation.

"That's fine. Watch and learn from our famous sports medicine doctors in the United States. You may become a big shot like them in the future."

In Larry Miller's eyes, Jiang Ming is a potential stock. He doesn't have much hope that he can contribute anything in the consultation, because he has invited several big names.

"Haha, okay." Jiang Ming thought to himself that the president was scratching lottery tickets here, and wondered if he said the same thing to every young doctor.

After Larry finished speaking, he signaled his assistant to take Jiang Ming to the conference room to wait for the consultation to begin.

After going out, Jiang Ming also saw five or six colleagues queuing up to wait for the same assessment as he had just taken. There were both men and women, with different skin colors, and they were all relatively young.

It seems that no matter how famous the Trail Blazers team doctor is, he is the team doctor of the world's top basketball league team after all, and he still has appeal to doctors.

If it were a team like the Lakers or the Knicks, there would probably be a long queue of people lining up at the ticket gate.

Jiang Ming, who walked downstairs, was not taken directly into the conference room. Instead, he passed the large conference room and went to a small room in front with the word "Observation Room" written on it to wait.

"What's this for?" Jiang Ming asked his assistant. "Mr. Larry, in order to prevent you from influencing each other's judgment, you can meet with Oden alone before the consultation, but you cannot communicate with him, and don't delay too long, as there are doctors waiting behind."

"OK."

Jiang Ming touched his nose. This felt a bit like a makeshift team. What kind of consultation process was this?
Is that a bit embarrassing?
He was referring to Oden.

"The doctor inside now is a friend who came with me. I'll go in."

"Okay, then you can go in directly."

This assistant is obviously not that strict. He has been leading people for the whole afternoon and is already tired of it.

"Please...come in~"

Jiang Ming knocked on the door, and Sean's unique clear voice with vibrato appeared.

Jiang Ming opened the door and entered.

The first thing I saw was Sean's hands touching the legs of a strong black man on the hospital bed.

The sturdy man was lying on the extra-long bed, wearing a jacket on the upper body and the shortest denim shorts on the lower body. Combined with his rugged face, the outfit was pleasing to the eye.

It is the top pick Oden who is known as the Great Emperor!

The 2.13-meter-tall Oden had apparently lost all desire after enduring an entire afternoon of "torture". He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, too lazy to open them to see who was coming.

Sean made a "hush" gesture to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming made an OK gesture. He couldn't talk to Oden, but in fact his assistant didn't come in to supervise him. Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable if he didn't chat with him?
Sorry, Jiang Ming is not imagining things wrongly, but this is too much like the time when my classmates in undergraduate school had simulated surgeries in their practical classes, and they would go in one by one to "communicate" with the cadaver teacher to build up their courage.

If Sean wasn't here right now, the memory of death would definitely haunt Jiang Ming.

The feeling of this quiet little room is so familiar... The Trail Blazers treated Oden like a cadaver teacher for the team doctors to "touch and feel" all over.

Oden is just a young man who has just entered the league, with a good temper and is obedient. If it were those veteran stars, they would have quit long ago.

Because Sean was still "touching", Jiang Ming didn't go over to join him, but went to look at the X-ray, CT, and MRI films hanging on the display screen next to him.

Unlike the treatment for ordinary people, this No. 1 pick just scans the whole body. I have never seen such a domineering team doctor in the Rockets.

Of course, it may also be that with so many experts here, they might as well get the most out of them and perhaps they can discover other hidden problems.

Jiang Ming came forward and squinted his eyes to take a look.

The image date showed that it was taken yesterday. Jiang Ming, who had written thousands of diagnostic analyses for patients in the imaging department during his graduate studies, could tell from the MRI at a glance that Oden's right knee and right ankle did have damaged cartilage, just as the news said!

And judging from the curve signal, the extent is not light!!
Good guy!
It's only been a few games and it's already worn out like this? What has happened to the Trail Blazers' No. 1 pick?

Jiang Ming turned around and took a look at Oden's strong thigh muscles. Logically speaking, a 19-year-old strong man like him shouldn't be in such a serious condition!
