Chapter 1157 - 1116: Finding Balance Between Work and Rest
On the 14th, Lin Jie gave two presentations.In the morning, he presented on the application of experimental cancer therapies in bladder cancer treatment, and in the afternoon, he discussed the application of optimal microcurrent stimulation value in cancer treatment.
Today, this optimal microcurrent stimulation value has been recognized globally by the medical community as the Lin Jie microcurrent value and has been included as an entry in multiple authoritative online dictionaries around the world like the Oxford Dictionary and others.
Due to the widespread applicability of the Lin Jie microcurrent value, after Lin Jie's presentation, the medical professionals attending the event automatically divided themselves into dozens of groups based on their research directions and work content, engaging in active and enthusiastic discussions.
This event also marked the official establishment of the Qushui Garden Medical Salon, led by Lin Jie.
It is scheduled to hold a medical-themed event every Saturday.
At other times, it is also open to medical professionals and researchers, who can apply to hold various types of seminars and conferences here.
Medical professionals who find it inconvenient to attend events at Qushui Garden can also learn about the content of offline events through the Medical Salon section of Lin Jie's personal website and express their views, ask questions, post bounties, etc.
For the inaugural event, until ten o'clock in the evening, there were still two to three hundred people scattered throughout Qushui Garden in discussion, with occasional heated arguments breaking out from some corner of the garden or from a floor somewhere.
As Lin Jie extricated himself, he arrived at the lobby on the first floor, stopped when he heard the sounds of debate.
He pointed his finger in the direction of the garden, his voice a bit hoarse as he said to An Kexin, whose complexion was not very good, "Kexin, listen to how fiercely they're arguing. Judging by the tone, it seems like there's a possibility of talking all night long."
"Hmph, since it's summer anyway, staying up all night won't leave them cold!"
An Kexin said grumpily, complaining: "Ah Jie, not to criticize you, but once you've finished your presentations, it's enough, why still join their discussions?"
"Now look, it's dragged on till now!"
"If I hadn't called you out, would you have stayed to chat with them all night?"
Lin Jie chuckled and said, "Most people came especially for me, it wouldn't be right to just give a presentation and leave."
"Actually, interacting with them is also a way for me to learn and grow."
The two left Qushui Garden and got into the car.
An Kexin buckled Lin Jie's seatbelt and hummed, "Ah Jie, did you get it wrong, or are you just trying to make me happy by saying the opposite?"
"I did notice, they are one after another asking you questions, saying they are learning and growing through your guidance, that's more like it."
Lin Jie leaned against the back of the seat, placing his hand on An Kexin's leg, gently rubbing it, and said with a light laugh, "True, they are learning and growing by asking me questions."
"But, that doesn't mean I'm just giving one-sidedly."
"Kexin, the questions they ask me naturally aren't superficial; they're the problems and difficulties they can't solve after years of practice and theoretical research."
He patiently explained, "The answers to these questions are valuable, but the questions themselves also have great value."
"Most of these questions are in the forefront of medicine and can provide me significant inspiration, helping me recognize some of my own shortcomings or overlooked areas."
"In fact, some of the questions they raise, I also don't have answers to; it's just based on some of my understanding that I have discussions with them."
An Kexin seemed enlightened, nodding and saying, "True, most of those attending today's event are medical professionals with years of work experience, they naturally wouldn't ask shallow questions."
She paused for a moment, glancing at the scenery rapidly flowing past outside the window, and a thought occurred to her, joyfully announcing, "Ah Jie, here's some good news."
"We have confirmed that at least sixty-one foreign medical institutions will send representatives to attend our grand opening."
"Plus, with several dozen domestic hospitals attending the opening celebration, we can confidently proclaim to the public that over a hundred prominent hospitals from home and abroad will gather to celebrate the opening of Anlin Hospital."
Seeing her waving her little fists in a triumphant manner, Lin Jie inquired, "I've requested that the grand opening be very simple, do you have any objections about that?"
An Kexin tilted her head, leaning on Lin Jie's shoulder, softly said, "I did have some thoughts like that, it's so hard to finally open, yet we're not celebrating properly. It always feels like achieving something but not promoting it, like wearing brocade garments at night."
"However, now that I think about it, our grand opening, although very simple, is by no means low-key."
She said excitedly, "On the day of the opening, the presidents of a dozen or twenty internationally renowned hospitals will sign exchange and cooperation agreements with us, plus over a hundred hospital presidents or representatives will be witnesses."
Waving her hand, An Kexin continued, "Any of the hospitals signing have a considerable reputation internationally, and now, a dozen or twenty are gathered here with us."
"When this scene is reported, it will definitely cause a sensation in the domestic medical community."
"Even Capital City's top-ranked Concord Hospital doesn't have such influence, does it?"
She added gleefully, "When Phoenix Mountain Hospital opened, they put on quite a show, even invited a few popular movie and music stars, but besides Johns Hopkins Hospital and a few hospitals from Southeast Asia, most of the attendees were representatives of pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies."
"The level of guests compared to ours is not just a little bit of a difference."
"Let me tell you another piece of news!"
An Kexin stretched out five fingers and gestured in front of Lin Jie, saying, "The number of people registering at Phoenix Mountain Hospital in the past two days has dropped to below fifty."
"On the contrary, our queue increases by more than fifty people every day. And that doesn't even count the people making appointments through the internet and by phone."
Lin Jie pinched her nose and laughed, "You shouldn't always compare yourself with Phoenix Mountain Hospital. Your targets should be top-tier hospitals like Johns Hopkins Hospital and the Mayo Clinic."
An Kexin sat up straight and earnestly said, "Ah Jie, you're right. I should adjust my mindset and not lower Anlin Hospital to the same level as Phoenix Mountain Hospital."
She deliberately sighed, saying, "Ah Jie, improving too quickly isn't good either, it's kind of hard to keep up."
"If Anlin Hospital had predicted the current situation when it was being built, it would have been constructed to meet the standards and scale of a top-tier hospital."
Lin Jie scoffed and reminded, "Kexin, don't get too ahead of yourself! There's still quite a gap between our hospital's medical resources and equipment compared to Phoenix Mountain Hospital."
"The improvement of the hospital's overall strength can't depend on me alone."
An Kexin responded with an 'mm,' saying, "Of course, I know that it can't depend on you alone. I could say, you've already done too much for Anlin Hospital."
Lin Jie smiled and said, "It's very good that you realize this! The road to Anlin Hospital's development is a long journey and can't be achieved in a short time."
As he spoke, he felt a wave of fatigue sweeping over him, and his body involuntarily slumped down, adopting a 'Ge You lean,' with his eyes slightly closed and his face showing weariness.
Seeing Lin Jie's unrefined posture, An Kexin couldn't help but want to laugh.
But just as a smile appeared on her face, it froze. She reached out to gently stroke Lin Jie's face, suddenly feeling a lump in her throat, and her eyes turned a little red.
Lin Jie sensed the change in An Kexin's emotions.
He opened his eyes, saw her expression, quickly sat up straight, hugged her, and asked with concern, "Kexin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
An Kexin shook her head and said with a heavy heart, "Ah Jie, seeing you so exhausted suddenly made me realize that lately, you've either been in surgery during the day or preparing for the next case, and every night you're in the study, pondering treatment plans for patients."
"Besides, you have to think about Anlin Hospital and many other projects of Anlin."
"Ah Jie, you're really too tired."
"I just thought, why do you have to work so hard? With your health condition, wouldn't it be better to occasionally do a surgery and comfortably enjoy life?"
Lin Jie joked, "Kexin, if you hadn't reminded me, I would've forgotten that I'm a heart transplant patient."
He chuckled again and said, "Actually, I don't feel that tired."
"On the contrary, I quite enjoy this busy life. Maybe because before my body recovered, living every day like a turtle had already made me live all my quiet days in advance."
An Kexin left Lin Jie's embrace and said remorsefully, "Anlin Garden was pushed forward by me, and I'm also happy to see the other Anlin Intelligent Medical projects move forward."
"Ah Jie, am I being selfish, not being a good girlfriend, not putting your health and well-being as the most important priority?"
Lin Jie was startled and then laughed, "Silly, how could you think that way!"
"The Anlin Hospital, Anlin Garden, and the subsequent Anlin projects, how could they have started without my approval?"
He gently brushed An Kexin's hair and slowly said, "These many things are like a small snowball rolling down from a mountain. As it rolls down, it gets bigger, faster, and unstoppable."
"Kexin, like this snowball rolling down, many things are propelled by an invisible force or momentum, and naturally occur, not because of your selfishness."
"Moreover..."
Lin Jie pondered for a moment and said softly, "As a doctor, in the process of treating and saving people, I often feel a sense of accomplishment and being needed."
"Kexin, I like this feeling very much."
"Seeing the students I taught grow, watching a hospital develop from nothing, and seeing my research results being applied to more patients gives me a sense of fulfillment and spiritual enjoyment."
These words made An Kexin feel a bit better.
She took a deep breath and decided, "Ah Jie, I've neglected you a lot lately. After Anlin Hospital opens in the next couple of days, I'll spend more time with you and take good care of you."
Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed and said, "Another way to look at it could be that I've overlooked you and also Miao Miao."
"The most difficult part of the experimental tumor therapy is over. The next step is validation treatment for various tumors, which will require much less energy."
"I should balance work and leisure a bit more, make time to be with you and Miao Miao, and let myself rest a little..."
