From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 173 Eye of Cthulhu

Durant was lying on a hospital bed that was not spacious, looking up at the ceiling. His calf was still numb because the anesthetic had not worn off.

But even after the anesthesia wore off, the thick plasterboard left him feeling disconnected from his calf.

"Dr. Yuan, can I ask, I saw other athletes in the United States being injured, and they seemed to use similar plastic splints?"

Yuan Qiang, who was undergoing postoperative examination, his eyes lit up and asked, "Mr. Du, do you need to upgrade your external fixation service?"

"External fixation? What's that?"

"It is to upgrade from inorganic gypsum materials to organic polymer nano-resin splints. Only an additional 2 US dollars can improve the postoperative experience."

"$2 sounds like a good deal..."

"To be exact, it's $2, and you can enjoy the most advanced biotechnology products."

"Okay, Dr. Yuan, I think this is a necessary expense."

"Well, the relevant expenses will be added to the bill outside the agreement. After you sign it in a while, I will ask Dr. Bao to change the splint."

……

Just as the Putian soul in Yuan Qiang's body was burning and he was promoting additional products, Li Chao was sitting in a wheelchair and was pushed in by a nurse.

Then came Zhang Zifan and Kong Xiang.

The nurse quickly prepared another bed and helped Li Chao onto the bed.

"This is the farthest away from other wards and is very quiet. Lao Li, please take a good rest."

Zhang Zifan used the [Dean's exclusive pen] to prescribe the relevant anti-inflammatory infusion medicine, while explaining, "I have some immature ideas about your eyes, and I need to discuss it with Director Kong."

Li Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, Dean Zhang. As long as you can keep your eyeballs, you can lose your eyesight!"

"that……"

At this time, Durant, who had been standing upright, sat up and said, "Dean Zhang, shouldn't I be living in a single ward? I paid 300 million US dollars!"

"Oh, dear Adu, it is because you paid 300 million US dollars that you can enjoy the world's top medical services, and this Mr. Li Chao is also the same."

"Did he pay the money too?"

"That is something more precious than money, Mr. Du, he automatically had a lifetime membership of our hospital 31 years ago, so you can get the same service as him for spending 300 million US dollars, you should feel that the value for money is excellent! "

……

Li Chao was taken aback by the black man who suddenly appeared.

However, his remaining eye is already very tired, and he has symptoms of blurred vision. He hasn't seen who it is yet, but he thinks this guy is a bit big, like a gibbon.

"Aunt Ma, Xiaoya, take good care of the patients, Professor Kong, let's go to the office, I have an idea, I don't know if it's right, let's study it!"

Zhang Zifan gave an order, and pulled Kong Xiang and the others to leave.

At this time, the time has come to [-]:[-] noon.

Whether it was Durant who was dragged into surgery before he realized the jet lag after getting off the plane, or Li Chao, who had been busy all morning fighting with gangsters, he was already hungry.

At this time, the fat aunt came pushing the dining car.

Ma Jihong hurriedly said, "This is the 'palace' package, and this is the wounded care package, right?"

"That's right, that's right, but actually it doesn't matter if you make a mistake..."

After confirmation, the nurses began to distribute food.

……

Durant soon got his own court meal: a boiled egg, a vegetable salad, chicken breast and whole wheat bread.

Well, it seems to be fine and healthy.

He awkwardly picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when Adu suddenly noticed that the food eaten by the Chinese patient next door seemed to be similar to his own.

It's nothing more than the bread being replaced by steamed buns, the chicken breast being replaced by fried beef, and even the egg seems to be one more than myself?
Not scientific!

As long as the lifetime member doesn't understand, it's fine, the catering fee is written in the 300 million contract!

Why is it that the food I eat is not superior, but seems to be a little worse?
He quickly called the nurse for questioning.

"Mr. Adu, why do you have such terrible thoughts?

You eat the 'court set meal' for $220 a meal.

Eggs are eggs laid by hens that only eat natural feed, bread is ground from special wheat specially provided by the royal family, and even the electricity used to cook eggs is directly connected to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River!
Do you know the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River?Old and powerful! "

Durant was taken aback when he heard it. He had heard of the Yangtze River. He really didn't understand what the hell this long river was.

However, Adu subconsciously chewed the egg in his mouth, and it seemed that the taste was indeed different from that of American eggs, and it seemed particularly delicious.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Adu, stop being naughty, eat obediently, and then sign this supplementary agreement. We will change the splint for you in a while!"

The nurse waved her hand and took out a document.

……

In the dean's office, Kong Xiang was deeply shocked when he heard Zhang Zifan's unconstrained ideas.

"This... is this really okay? There are so many optic nerve bundles, no matter what point goes wrong, it will have a huge impact..."

"Give it a try, anyway, wouldn't the worst result be removal of the eyeballs?"

"That's true, but Dean Zhang, with all due respect, could the inspiration for your idea come from..."

"That's right!"

Faced with Kong Xiang's confusion, Zhang Zifan naturally took out a thick and sturdy book from under the table——

"The Origin of Cthulhu - A Study of Cephalopods"

This book is one of the long list of books Liu Xiaonan gave to Zhang Zifan.

Liu Xiaonan gave Zhang Zifan more than a dozen books, and Zhang Zifan fell in love with this one at first sight.

As for the reason, it is naturally a great victory for the headline party!

Seeing Mr. Ke's name, Zhang Zifan immediately bought this foreign language book worth more than 3000 yuan online.

As a result, Zhang Zifan regretted it on the first day of delivery.

Damn it, Cthulhu’s is just a gimmick.

This is a popular science book that introduces in detail the cephalopods represented by horn stones, nautilus, squid, squid, and octopus in the mollusk phylum.

If it weren't for Zhang Zifan's talent of [language proficiency], it wouldn't be so difficult to read foreign language books, and this book is so expensive, it would have already rolled to the shelf to eat ashes.

But even so, Zhang Zifan has only read more than 100 pages in more than a month, and is about to finish Chapter 1, "Anatomy of Cephalopods".

Apart from the different nervous systems of cephalopods and vertebrates, the only thing that left a deep impression on Zhang Zifan was the eyes of cephalopods.

That's right, Mr. Ke's eyes are different from those of humans, and there are significant differences in their basic structure.

It can be said that whether it is the motor system or the circulatory system, Ke Zong is not very advanced, but the design of these eyes is far more advanced and reasonable than that of humans who claim to be higher animals.

To put it simply, if the eyeball is a huge circular camera, then the lens and other front-end structures are the lens, the retina located on the back wall of the eyeball is the film, and the optic nerve is the data line that transmits the information on the film to the brain.

But human camera design is extremely unreasonable.

Due to misguided evolution, the data line of the camera of the human eye does not lead directly from the back of the film (that is, the convex surface of the retinal sphere) to the brain.

Instead, it starts inside the eyeball, which is the concave surface of the retinal sphere.

The data line circled in the eyeball for a long time, covered the negative film in sevens and eighties, and then cut a small hole from the negative film, passed it out in the opposite direction, and then connected to the brain.

This leads to very stupid results.

First, the data cable is much longer and has many knots. The image obtained by the human eye is inverted and requires secondary processing by the brain.

Second, because the optic nerve rotates in front of the photosensitive surface (concave surface) of the retina, it inevitably blocks a lot of images, making vision worse.

Third, because there is an opening in the retina, there is a blind spot in the human eye, and information in this area will be completely unavailable.

Obviously, Mr. Ke’s eye design is more reasonable.

It throws all the data cables behind the film and straight to the brain.

There are no data lines in the eye cavity, only transparent liquids such as aqueous humor and vitreous humor to avoid interference.

Such eyes are efficient, concise, and have no dead ends.

Today, the optic nerve inside Li Chao's eyeball is severely damaged and cannot be repaired.

Zhang Zifan was inspired by Mr. Ke's anatomical diagram that he had seen before.

He decided to treat a dead horse as a living doctor, and reorganized the nerve wiring of Li Chao's eyeballs with reference to Mr. Ke's eye design in order to restore its function.

Of course, since the human brain has adapted to the setting of an inverted field of view, the ultimate result of the surgery should be deconstruction of the eyes without disturbing the work of the retina, expanding the field of view, and not forming blind spots, but the image is still inverted.
