Healing Doctor

Chapter 97 Even someone as strong as me

The concept of a body of steel is easy to understand, and the system NPCs didn't offer much explanation.

"Teacher, what does 'clear-sighted' mean by talking about resolution and refresh rate?"

Ji Xiang had a preconceived notion when he asked the question.

Based on his understanding of the system's NPCs, he would inevitably start by giving himself a long explanation of basic theory.

As Ji Xiang had predicted, the system NPC began to launch into a long speech.

Resolution depends on the number of cone cells and rod cells.

The human body contains 600-700 million cone cells, which are responsible for color recognition and vision in bright environments.

Rod cells: Approximately 1.25 million, responsible for night vision and peripheral vision, lacking color perception, and containing a photosensitive substance.

"..."

A dozen minutes later, the system NPC finished its explanation.

Let me give you an example.

Ji Xiang was finally about to get to the part where he had to give examples, and his spirits lifted.

Pure theory sounds too dry, but fortunately the system NPCs always give examples when explaining the theory.

This is a good habit.

"Back then, I participated in an Air Force study as a human bioengineering expert."

"During the experiment, constantly flashing images were displayed. Some pilots were even able to identify the aircraft model, even if the aircraft image only appeared for 1/220th of a second. This means that the 'refresh rate' of the human eye is actually far above 120 Hz."

"This is the resolution of the human eye."

1/220 of a second!

Ji Xiang was astonished; the pilots were incredibly skilled!

It's really hard to imagine.

"This is an active skill. If it were a passive skill, your life would be affected," the system NPC said. "Normal people only need to click and select the skill when needed."

"When will we use it, teacher?"

"Of course, it's during surgery, especially delicate procedures such as microsurgery or interventional procedures."

Another interventional surgery!

Ji Xiang felt that the prize for this competition was completely custom-made, specifically for his future interventional surgery.

If Ji Xiang were new to the system, he would definitely think that it was full of conspiracies.

"That's about it. If I explain too much, you'll get annoyed, so I won't go into too much detail. You'll understand it better when you need it."

"Teacher, I have another question." Ji Xiang raised his hand.

"explain."

"I currently have 18.3 random attributes. Where do you think I should add them?" Ji Xiang asked.

The system NPC looked at Ji Xiang with a smile, "Last time you didn't seem to hesitate at all and immediately added it to your luck stat."

Ji Xiang nodded. "Teacher, I think luck is very important."

"Then let's add it."

"You mean..." Ji Xiang didn't expect the system NPC to be so supportive of his "willful" decision to add all his free attribute points to luck.

"Surgeons all know this fact, but no one can change it," the system NPC said. "No matter how well the surgery is performed or how meticulous the care is taken, there is always a certain probability of complications after the operation. It could be a surgical site infection, a tumor metastasis, or even an appendectomy can be fatal."

Ji Xiang seemed to understand what the system NPC meant.

"To give a simple example, thrombolysis," the system NPC continued, "the thrombolysis procedure is very simple, just puncture and catheter placement. But during thrombolysis, small emboli may break off, and if not handled carefully, peripheral blood vessels may become blocked, which can even lead to limb necrosis."

"A slight mishap is something a doctor can't control. In those situations, luck is all that's needed."

"A high luck value means that the patient will have a higher luck value bonus in surgical treatment."

Ji Xiang nodded repeatedly.

He realized where his thinking had gone wrong.

The system is designed for doctors. The so-called "luck value" will not reduce your chances of getting into a car accident; it will only increase your chances of having good luck related to medical matters.

"For example, the partial nephrectomy you are about to undergo, whether there is postoperative bleeding or not is related to the surgical technique, but even if the surgery is as good as mine, I cannot completely avoid postoperative bleeding."

"..." Ji Xiang thought he was already immune to the Versailles-like words of the system NPC, but he still couldn't accept it when he heard him say that he was strong enough to be like him.

Even someone as strong as me... though very ordinary, it's still quite exciting.

"A high luck stat, coupled with a reduced surgical error rate, can largely prevent similar situations from occurring."

"Teacher, basics?" Ji Xiang accurately grasped the key points in the system NPC's words.

"Yes." The system NPC gave Ji Xiang a positive answer, "It can only be basically avoided, not 100%."

Ji Xiang was a little disappointed.

If only it were possible to have 100% no complications or sequelae.

"The next surgery in the training program will be a partial nephrectomy and treatment of complications."

"I……"

Looking at the more than 500,000 experience points he had accumulated, Ji Xiang understood the meaning of the system NPC.

"Do we need to max out the interventional surgery range?" Ji Xiang asked.

The system NPC didn't answer his question, but instead lingered on the white Ganoderma lucidum with longing.

That's roughly it. Ji Xiang didn't feel too bad about it and planned to max out the interventional surgery.

Because interventional surgery and urology are two different branches, and my foundation is weak, I have to start from scratch.

Ji Xiang clicked on the system page, found the radiology department, and clicked to enter interventional surgery.

A drop-down menu.

He glanced at it, and the hundreds of spells gave Ji Xiang a headache.

"Teacher, which spell should I add?" Ji Xiang asked.

"Vascular interventional embolization."

Without hesitation, Ji Xiang clicked to upgrade.

A brand-new LV9 interventional embolization technique has appeared. The passive skills granted by the upgrade remain the same, except for increased hand speed and reduced error rate.

There is no active skill like "Superior Doctor's Gaze".

It seems that the "Superior Doctor's Gaze" is a perk that the system gives to new players.

"Teacher, this side is done."

"Why don't you try to empathize with the person before training?" the system NPC suggested.

Partial nephrectomy?

In addition, there was postoperative bleeding.

Ji Xiang was also very curious about this, because partial nephrectomy and its complications are somewhat different from other surgeries.

Postoperative bleeding after this procedure usually occurs very late. Just when the patient thinks they have recovered, a single bleeding episode can lead to tragedy.

"Okay." Ji Xiang didn't mince words; he simply empathized. His willpower was unparalleled, and he didn't think much of it. Since the system NPC suggested it, he figured he might as well experience it for himself.

"Follow me." The system NPC flicked its deformed finger, and the white lingzhi disappeared between its fingers as if by magic.

Ji Xiang knew that the system NPC's hand speed was indescribable; in any case, he himself couldn't match it now.

As Ji Xiang walked into the next room with the system NPC, the light and shadow flickered, and he began to empathize with the situation.

When Ji Xiang opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the examination room.

Across from me was a middle-aged doctor, who was explaining something to me.

"I work at the hospital, I'm not a shareholder, so why should I care what the leaders say?"
