21st Century Necromancer

It was still the routine pre-operative conference held weekly, and Chen Yu was sitting attentively below the stage, carefully going through the medical records in his hands.

The vertebral support ordered from China had arrived, and the preparations for Higashiyama Keika's surgery were complete. Chen Yu was now in the process of making a final confirmation of the surgical procedure.

It must be said that after several Singles' Day sales, China's express delivery service had become extremely efficient. The wait for Chen Yu was mainly for the manufacturer to finish production, not for the goods to clear customs. It took about 12 hours to transport the items from Beijing to Tokyo, and that already takes into account a one-hour time difference.

"Professor Chen, there won't be any issues with Keika's surgery, right?" Dr. Higashiyama, who had purposely switched seats to sit behind Chen Yu, whispered his inquiry. Knowing that the support had arrived, Dr. Higashiyama became particularly concerned about his sister's operation.

"With Dr. Daimon and me leading the surgery, you can relax, Higashiyama." Chen Yu turned back, smiled at the anxious Dr. Higashiyama, and reassured him, "To borrow Dr. Daimon's catchphrase, 'I won't fail.'" Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire

"But such a major surgery..." Despite being a doctor himself and knowing that with Chen Yu and Daimon Michiko's skills, the likelihood of any issues arising during the operation was virtually nil, Dr. Higashiyama couldn't let go of his concern. Being a doctor, he understood that all surgeries carry risks.

The surgery for Higashiyama Keika, in particular, wasn't just about removing a vertebra, but also involved reconstructing nerves, making it extremely challenging, even pushing the limits of surgery. If he were to perform it himself, he doubted he could even complete the procedure.

"Don't worry. Dr. Daimon has performed over 8,000 surgeries. Her confidence in not failing is based on her experience. Although I don't have as extensive surgical experience as her, I won't encounter any problems either," Chen Yu consoled Dr. Higashiyama, calming his emotions.

Chen Yu could fully understand Dr. Higashiyama's worries—it was his own little sister, after all, and no amount of concern was too much.

Just as Chen Yu was about to say more, the patient's history projected on the stage switched once again to that of Yuiko Shiina, forcing Chen Yu to divert his attention.

"Yuiko Shiina, female, thirty-three years old. Stage III lung adenocarcinoma, the attending physician is Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi..." The doctor on the stage began reciting the patient information as usual, but Chen Yu suddenly raised his hand, interrupting the doctor's words.

"Excuse me, this patient has chronic bronchitis and cannot undergo surgical treatment," Chen Yu stood up, walked to the big screen, voiced the particular circumstance of Yuiko Shiina, and took a glance at Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi sitting below. Seeing her with a smile, he prepared to continue speaking.

However, before Chen Yu could start speaking, an internal medicine doctor stood up, with a confident smile declaring, "Then please refer this patient to our department of internal medicine. We will treat her with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and targeted drugs. We are fully confident that we can cure her."

While the internal medicine doctor proudly made this statement, he glanced at his smiling colleagues with a slightly mocking tone, "It seems that even surgery is not omnipotent, after all. Talking about how you never fail, but in the end, surgery is not an option, and you have to rely on internal medicine."

As he was saying this, the internal medicine doctor led the laughter, prompting a chorus of chuckles from the others in internal medicine.

Before Chen Yu could respond to this scene, Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi stood up from her seat, moved beside Chen Yu, and addressed the speaking internal medicine doctor, "Sorry, but this patient refuses chemotherapy and radiotherapy because they will cause hair loss. As a woman, she does not want to become ugly.

As doctors, we must meet our patient's expectations, so she will be treated with the latest technology."

With that, Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi looked to Chen Yu, signaling him to explain further.

Chen Yu shook his head in resignation, watching the internal medicine doctor, who appeared speechless after being effectively silenced by Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi. It seemed that these doctors were more focused on internal rivalry than treating and helping people.

Nevertheless, he began to explain, "Broad-spectrum targeted inhibition therapy for tumor cells, developed based on my paper 'Research and Application of Pufferfish Toxin in Broad-Spectrum Cancer Treatment,' is a new treatment that will replace the traditional, burdensome chemotherapy.

It utilizes the inhibition of tumor cell activity to minimize cancer's impact on the patient, thereby allowing the patient to resume a normal life."

"Isn't that the research you are currently undertaking, Professor Chen? Can it already be applied clinically?" Yamamoto Hisae understood immediately what Chen Yu was referring to. Although she knew from her niece that Chen Yu's experiments were progressing smoothly, to her knowledge, the research was still only in the first phase of human trials and had not yet started clinical application.

"It is not yet applicable for clinical treatment, but this patient has volunteered to be a clinical trial subject, so I plan to try out the new technology on her and also validate the practical value of my research," Chen Yu nodded in affirmation of Yamamoto Hisae's understanding and offered an explanation.

"You are experimenting on a patient!" The previously speaking internal medicine doctor couldn't help but criticize Chen Yu's actions.

However, Chen Yu looked at him as if seeing a fool, shaking his head in exasperation. "The patient herself has agreed and volunteered for this experimental therapeutic treatment, and here is her signed consent form," he said.

Chen Yu took out a consent form he had asked Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi to have Yuiko Shiina sign from the records in his hand, showed it briefly, then put it away again.

Seeing this, the internal medicine doctor was suddenly at a loss for words, finding himself speechless once more.

"Professor Chen, since that's the case, can this patient be transferred to our department of internal medicine?" Yamamoto Hisae stood up from her seat, approached Chen Yu, and earnestly said, "Your research is not surgical. It's a treatment method belonging to internal medicine.

I think you can absolutely refer this patient to us, and we can then assign our best doctor to work with you in treating her."

"Sorry, the patient has specified that Doctor Jounouchi Hiromi be her attending physician. I am merely providing technical support for Doctor Jounouchi," Chen Yu said, looking at Yamamoto Hisae with a beaming smile. "So, this patient cannot be handed over to internal medicine."
