Chapter 783: Chapter 365: Master of Low-Impact Colonoscopy, Highly Malignant Esophageal Tumor_2
"Bring my friend here to test his colonoscopy skills."
He replied.
"No one’s using it right now, you came at the right time. Do you want me to help with turning it on?"
"No need, I can handle it myself."
Lian Tao led Li Jingsheng inside.
Several doctors who were conducting experiments recognized Lian Tao and warmly greeted him or exchanged a few words.
Clearly, Lian Tao had quite a reputable status at People’s Hospital.
Just as Li Jingsheng was well-liked at the Second Hospital.
They glanced at Li Jingsheng out of curiosity and quickly returned to their experimental research.
The two arrived at the innermost table in the laboratory, where a bionic human model lay horizontally, with numerous cables extending from its cervical area and connected to a large machine.
"This machine was bought for over seven million. I’ve heard it took quite an effort, involving friends from abroad, overcoming several obstacles before we got it. Even Qiaobang Hospital doesn’t have one."
Lian Tao introduced the machine’s origins with some pride.
A seven-million medical instrument is actually not that extraordinary.
Early MRI machines, each one cost tens of millions to acquire?
Alongside Da Vinci robots and the so-called cancer-detecting PET-CT, none of them come cheap.
However, some advanced instruments can’t be bought just with money.
Several developed Western countries still heavily restrict our access to their technology.
It’s understandable, as people are inherently selfish; no one would foolishly share their core technologies.
Because technological monopoly is extremely profitable.
Lian Tao was evidently not new to this instrument and started it smoothly, navigating the English system easily.
Many ’experts’ urge us not to let children spend so much time learning English, advocating instead to teach them traditional arts like music, chess, and painting. Sensible parents aren’t swayed.
Being fluent in a foreign language is invaluable for participating in higher-level academic or business exchanges.
Otherwise, without language, there’s no way to communicate with foreign elites.
Should we let children work blindly behind closed doors?
In other industries, it’s unclear, but in the medical field, which Li Jingsheng was involved in, whatever the domain, it inevitably connects internationally once reaching a certain level.
Expanding one’s horizons and insights requires interaction with foreign experts.
Language is the most basic tool for communication.
"Alright, you can start now. Just like playing a game, you can set a target location or proceed randomly, using the endoscope for exploration. This instrument will evaluate your performance with precise scoring.
For example, the damage caused to the cavity walls, and the number of hidden lesions discovered, amongst others."
Lian Tao handed him the handle.
Identical to the gastroscope handle.
Li Jingsheng tried operating and immediately several red lights flashed.
"Don’t be nervous, take your time!"
Lian Tao comforted him.
Li Jingsheng was just unfamiliar with the rules initially, operating randomly to get a feel for its handling.
He’s now pretty much figured it out; it’s no different from operating a colonoscope.
It’s just the intestinal cavity isn’t a real human body.
"Brother Tao, help me set a target, I’ll try exploring."
"Alright!"
Lian Tao set a hidden target for him.
Li Jingsheng found it easily, scoring an impressive 9.7.
"Knew your skills weren’t lacking. This time I’ll give you something with a bit more challenge."
Lian Tao had just set a hidden target at the descending colon position.
Moderate difficulty.
"Alright, let’s start!"
He let Li Jingsheng operate the colonoscope for exploration again.
The probe advanced agilely through the bionic human’s intestinal cavity, handling obstacles or curved sections with remarkable deftness, applying just the right amount of force.
In terms of hand skill, whether bone handling or surgical knife wielding, Li Jingsheng’s touch was at expert level.
Completing these high-level tasks with the colonoscope and paired with sophisticated placement skills, it was no challenge for him.
"Impressive! Your skills far surpassed mine."
Lian Tao watched as Li Jingsheng identified each lesion, appearing quite shocked.
As Li Jingsheng maneuvered the colonoscope into the ileum, Lian Tao watched the screen attentively.
Unknowingly, more people gathered from behind.
They all wanted to see how strong this young man, praised by Lian Tao, truly was.
The colonoscope probe entered the ileum and encountered a continuous three-segment winding bend.
Most colonoscopies don’t venture into the ileum.
Today, not only was the ileum accessed but it also faced a tortuous triple bend; even the most hazardous roads rarely feature such designs.
Under Li Jingsheng’s manipulation, the colonoscope moved like a worm, flexibly weaving through tricky angles of the bends.
"Incredible, colon wall damage staying below 1 point is truly unbelievable."
Among the observing doctors, some were seasoned endoscope specialists in their forties or fifties; they understood that operating an endoscope through narrow cavities unavoidably inflicted some wall damage.
Maintaining damage scores below 3 was already exceptional.
Li Jingsheng’s score consistently remained below 1 point throughout the bend; it was downright astonishing.
"Is this your student, Director Lian? A promising talent!"
"Do you think that’s possible? Traversing such a triple bend in the ileum usually nets scores above 2 points, occasionally carelessly hitting beyond 5 points. Look at him, holding below 1 point all the way, he truly is a master of colonoscopy. Or perhaps, a prodigy among prodigies. He could rather be my teacher."
