Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1104 - 1066

On May 1st, Yang Leyi underwent a cesarean section and gave birth to a healthy baby boy weighing 7.6 pounds.On May 2nd, Lin Jie visited the Binhai Armed Police General Hospital once again to participate in a day of "consultation" work.

On May 4th, Lin Jie participated in the May Fourth Youth Commendation Conference hosted by the Municipal Party Committee and the Communist Youth League, and was delighted to be named one of Binhai City's Top Ten Outstanding Young People of the Year.

On May 6th, the film company invested by Du Feixue held a kickoff ceremony for the film "Inseparable."

Lin Jie and his family, who were invited to the ceremony, had a cameo as extras, acting as passengers pulling luggage back and forth at the airport, making a brief appearance in the film.

Sunday, May 7th.

In the morning, Lin Jie arrived at the Affiliated Hospital and encountered Cheng Xingguang in the elevator, who had a worried look on his face.

"Did the negotiations run into problems?" Lin Jie asked with concern.

He knew that the negotiations for the intelligent medical system development project among several hospitals had not reached a final conclusion and that there were still significant disputes.

Cheng Xingguang sighed lightly, "There is indeed a problem."

"Donghua Hospital has withdrawn, and Limin Hospital and Tongren Hospital are also busy dealing with issues, causing the negotiations to be temporarily suspended."

Lin Jie asked with confusion, "Did something major happen?"

At this moment, the elevator doors opened, and the two walked out together.

Cheng Xingguang whispered, "In the past few days, nearly seventy percent of the key doctors and medical staff at Donghua Hospital have submitted their resignations. The board of directors of Donghua Hospital was furious and fired the entire management last night."

"Now Donghua Hospital is in chaos, and they can't focus on project collaboration."

"They officially notified us that they are withdrawing from the project negotiations."

"As for Tongren and Limin Hospitals, they also have dozens of people who have resigned. The management of both hospitals is busy stabilizing the situation and temporarily cannot participate in the negotiations."

"So, the negotiations are temporarily suspended."

Lin Jie made a small sound of acknowledgment and curiously asked, "Are there many resignations at the Affiliated Hospital?"

Cheng Xingguang patted his forehead, worryingly saying, "There are quite a lot as well!"

"As of this morning, I've received fifty-nine resignation letters."

"Among them, there are eighteen doctors and medical staff with associate director titles or higher, and the rest are all experienced key personnel."

Lin Jie chuckled, "Only fifty-nine people!"

"For the Affiliated Hospital, which has two to three thousand employees, that's a small proportion. Besides, given the reputation of the Affiliated Hospital, recruiting new staff shouldn't be difficult."

Cheng Xingguang glanced at Lin Jie and snorted, "Fifty-nine people and you think that's few?"

"Expert Lin, that's typical of someone who doesn't feel the pinch when others are in pain. That's quite a cold remark."

"However, beyond the resignations, I'm more concerned about some other issues."

"What issues?" Lin Jie showed a keen interest.

Cheng Xingguang slowly explained, "Although many of those submitting resignations have worked in their positions for years, feeling there's no hope for promotion and wanting a change, or nearing retirement and looking to earn more money."

"I can understand their reasons for leaving."

"But..."

He said with slight frustration, "There are also a dozen or so individuals who are names I've heard of and held in high regard, people the hospital has been focusing on developing."

"Their resignations, apart from being poached due to high salaries and positions, must also be related to some negative phenomena in the hospital."

Cheng Xingguang lamented, "For such a large Affiliated Hospital, it's difficult to eradicate factional infighting, departmental competition, and some instances of corruption and violations."

"During this period, I plan to talk with those who've resigned."

"Since they've submitted their resignations, they'll probably speak more freely, definitely revealing many issues. I want to take this opportunity to rectify the hospital's discipline and atmosphere, and eliminate unhealthy trends."

Lin Jie nonchalantly said, "Then I wish you smooth sailing in your efforts to rectify things!"

Upon reaching his office, Lin Jie pushed the door open halfway, then stopped and turned back, asking, "Hey, Dean Cheng, give me a list of the doctors who resigned to go to Phoenix Mountain Hospital."

"Damn it, these folks know that I don't get along with Phoenix Mountain Hospital, yet they've still jumped ship to go there. They must be blacklisted!"

Cheng Xingguang gestured humorously at Lin Jie, "You, you, you're so petty and narrow-minded..."

At ten in the morning, Lin Jie met with Qin Fang and others, who had made an appointment beforehand.

Qin Fang, who worked in the transportation department, had helped Lin Jie several times. When he called seeking assistance, Lin Jie naturally agreed and scheduled it for today.

There were quite a few people accompanying Qin Fang, three women and two men.

Among them, two women were obviously identical twins, looking exactly the same, quite attractive, and around thirty years old. The only difference was that one was slightly plumper and the other thinner.

The other woman, although slightly older, dressed exquisitely and, with a good foundation, was actually the most beautiful among the three women.

Through Qin Fang's introduction, Lin Jie learned that the most beautiful woman was his wife, Yu Min.

Seeing her in person, Lin Jie understood why Qin Fang had always doted on his wife.

At nearly forty years old, she was even more beautiful than young women in their twenties—definitely worthy of a man's adoration.

The identical twin women were Qiao Yuqin and Qiao Yuqi, while the other two men were their husbands.

The slender elder sister, Qiao Yuqin, was a friend of Yu Min.

After everyone got acquainted, Lin Jie straightforwardly asked, "Captain Qin, and everyone else, what exactly do you need from me?"

Qiao Yuqin was the first to speak: "Expert Lin, this is the situation."

"A few years ago, due to severe uterine infection caused by inflammation, I underwent a hysterectomy, which left me unable to conceive and give birth. I've been married to my husband for many years, but we've never had children."

"My sister has already had two children and doesn't want to have more."

"I want to ask Expert Lin for help to transplant my sister's uterus to me. I want to have a child, I want to become a mother."

Lin Jie confirmed by asking: "Uterine transplant?"

Qiao Yuqin nodded and said: "Yes! I want to transplant my sister's uterus, I want to give my husband one or two children."

"Expert Lin, can you perform this surgery?"

Due to the deep pelvic location of the uterus and its delicate blood vessels, uterine transplant surgery poses significant challenges in blood vessel extraction and suturing during the procedure.

Combined with issues like rejection, it remains a worldwide medical challenge.

Lin Jie replied solemnly: "Uterine transplant surgery is indeed a worldwide medical challenge, but there have been about twenty successful cases internationally."

"Although I haven't conducted a similar surgery, I shouldn't have a problem as the lead surgeon for this uterine transplant."

"However..."

Lin Jie glanced at Qiao Yuqin and her husband, cautioning: "Setting aside the difficulty, every surgery carries certain risks."

"Even if the uterine transplant surgery is successful, the chance of successful conception remains uncertain."

"If pregnancy doesn't occur within two or three years, to avoid rejection reactions and monitor the effects of anti-rejection drugs on the body, the transplanted uterus would need to be removed again."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuqin quickly asked: "Expert Lin, my sister and I are identical twins. Don't medical experts say our genes are identical, thus avoiding rejection?"

Lin Jie explained: "Theoretically, that's correct."

"However, due to different developmental environments, there's a small chance of rejection between identical twins' organs."

"Even if there is no immediate rejection, since it's not an autologous transplant, to prevent future rejections, it's best to remove it after having a child."

At this point, Lin Jie suggested: "Actually, if you want your own child, you can consider adoption!"

"Of course, there's another method..."

Lin Jie did not explicitly mention the other method.

He was hinting at surrogacy.

Surrogacy is strictly prohibited by the National Health Commission, but it is not explicitly banned under national law.

Therefore, it's a matter of law not prohibiting it, but the state not allowing it.

Under these circumstances, the regulations of the Health Commission solely bind medical institutions and personnel but cannot prevent organizations and individuals outside medical institutions from conducting surrogacy, nor can they stop citizens from entering into surrogacy agreements.

In reality, there are professional surrogacy agencies in society, and surrogacy incidents are not uncommon.

Of course, surrogacy issues have also led to many ethical and legal disputes.

As a doctor subject to the oversight of the National Health Commission, Lin Jie naturally cannot explicitly suggest this.

Everyone clearly understood the implications of Lin Jie's words.

"I won't consider surrogacy!"

Qiao Yuqin firmly declared: "Only a child born from my womb will be truly mine and my husband's."

Her husband also stated: "Expert Lin, I feel the same way. Only a child that my wife gives birth to will truly be ours."

Seeing their firm stance, Lin Jie reminded once more: "This uterine transplant surgery is not a minor procedure."

"And then there are the postoperative care costs, and associated pregnancy and childbirth, which require my medical team's full involvement to avoid unforeseen circumstances..."

"The total cost will not be insignificant, potentially exceeding a million..."

Qiao Yuqin's husband confidently stated: "Expert Lin, the cost doesn't matter; money is no issue."

Indeed, that was quite bold.

Lin Jie then turned to Qiao Yuqi and asked: "Are you willing to donate your uterus to your sister?"

Qiao Yuqi nodded, speaking timidly: "Expert Lin, I am willing!"

"I already have two children and don't want more. Without the uterus, it shouldn't affect my body too much, right?"

"After all, my sister has lived several years without a uterus."

Lin Jie nodded: "Removing the uterus has minimal impact on the body."

"I need to remind you that paid human organ transplants are prohibited in our country. So your uterus can only be donated to your sister without compensation."

Upon hearing this, both Qiao Yuqi and her husband had a slight change in expression.

But Qiao Yuqin's husband wasn't concerned and said: "Expert Lin, I'm aware of this regulation."

"However, as my sister-in-law is donating her uterus and undergoing bodily harm, providing some nutritional compensation for recovery seems necessary, right?"

Lin Jie naturally understood that this nutritional compensation was likely a substantial amount.

He felt he had fulfilled his duty to remind them and chose not to say more.

He then thought of something else and said: "This surgery must be reviewed and approved by the ethics committee in Binhai City, it's not something that can be done just because we want to..."
