Chapter 1076: Chapter 880 We Are All Skiving_2

"Let me think about it, no rush, my analysis of mother and mom should be correct—you see, ’mother’ refers to a young woman, while ’mom’ refers to a woman who has children. Although an aunt may not necessarily have children, her brothers do, which indirectly implies she is no longer young. However, what are the differences in the term ’aunt’? Why does it specifically refer to the sisters of one’s father in one context and generally to a young woman in another? I’m also puzzled. Give me some time to think this over and look up more information before I respond."

August rubbed his temples, Markus greatly admired August’s rigorous scholarly spirit.

For now, put these questions aside, Markus thought, knowing that since he was dealing with Professor Yang’s father-in-law, he had to treat him very specially.

Markus noticed everything. Mr. August and the British Milton previously had no good relations, but now things were completely different. August had far surpassed Milton, leaving the latter struggling to keep up.

Just look at the surgeries Mr. August performed after returning from China. Not only did patients from Europe come to him, but also from the United Kingdom. Most UK patients had conditions Milton dared not or could not treat, such as extreme spinal scoliosis, vertebral tumors, or upper cervical spine diseases.

Yet, in August’s hands, these cases seemed remarkably easy. Past cases, which were thought to surely result in paraplegia during scoliosis correction, were now confidently and calmly handled by Mr. August, with no complications arising so far.

No matter how difficult the surgery, now August would always say, "Admit them, let’s perform the surgery!"

Especially those patients with scoliosis who previously had no surgical options, after Mr. August looked at their X-rays, he would always say, "Let me straighten it out for them!"

Markus was with August in Malaysia at the time, the scene still vivid in his memory. Both August and Milton had encountered Professor Yang in Malaysia and competed to befriend him. But now, in such a short time, everything had changed. Milton was still the same Milton, but August was no longer his former self.

And that’s not all. Mr. August also brought back a mysterious technique—Precise Epiphyseal Arrest Technique for treating scoliosis. My goodness, in Markus’s eyes, it was absolutely science fiction. Yet, August’s animal experiments had been successful.

In Markus’s eyes, August is now the god of spinal surgery in Europe!

New York Special Surgery Hospital, United States.

Since returning from China, Robert had been performing numerous high-difficulty surgeries. Multiligament injuries to the shoulder and knee had always been a global challenge. Once an athlete suffered a severe multiligament rupture, it was almost certain their sports career was over. The severe and complex injuries made it impossible to restore athletic abilities through surgery, at best they could only regain normal walking abilities.

Yet, Yang Ping designed a new surgical approach that ended this situation. He brought ligament reconstruction balance adjustments to a new level, which was exactly this key balance adjustment that brought multiligament rupture surgeries of the shoulder and knee to a new phase, enabling athletes to recover their sporting capabilities to the maximum extent.

Robert was the first in North America to perform these surgeries, and soon he was swamped with athletes seeking treatment.

Not only were surgeries at New York Special Surgery Hospital booked several years in advance, but even his Long Island Clinic’s schedule was full for years to come.

In all of North America, Robert became an unrivaled figure; previously he was considered to have risen to the top of North American sports medicine on his family’s laurels, but now it was different, people saw Robert’s strength—his academic achievements had surpassed his forebears.

Upon returning to the United States, Robert started promoting China everywhere. He wanted to change Americans’ stereotypical perceptions of China.

Because many Americans had never visited China, their views remained based on quite stereotypical impressions, thinking of China as poor, dirty, chaotic, backward. Even a senior doctor from the pathology department once asked Robert if women in China still bound their feet or if men still wore pigtails?

On weekends inside the hospital, Robert held his own class—"The Real China," which attracted many doctors and nurses.

Robert said China, even in remote areas, has cell phone coverage that is very good.

"Aren’t they running a losing business?" someone wondered.

In the United States, let alone the remote areas, even places with fewer populations don’t have mobile signals as it’s unprofitable to set up signal towers there, and no communication companies are willing to incur losses.

"In China, this is a state-owned enterprise’s undertaking. Regardless of profit, they must achieve full signal coverage because they consider it a basic service to the public," he explained.

Robert said Chinese subways are very clean and tidy, and there are no robberies inside them. You can boldly walk around, and not only that, in Chinese cities, it is normal to go out and drink beer and eat night snacks late into the night without worrying about robberies. Their public security is very good. I often went out to drink beer at night in China and never encountered a robbery.

"Is that true? Oh my, how could that be, how is that possible!" the audience clamored in disbelief.

Robert continued, that’s nothing, China’s network is very well-developed. He would sit in his dormitory, wanting something to eat, just a tap on his phone and it quickly arrived at his door, still hot. Whatever he wanted to buy, just a tap on his phone, if quick, it arrived the same day, slow would take only two to three days at most, and he could return it anytime if not satisfied.

The audience below, like hearing a fantasy tale, especially a doctor from the pharmacy department who had just come from Canada, absolutely didn’t believe that deliveries could be made on the same day.

"How is that possible? Delivered the same day? Or just two to three days, are they all flying?"

"You don’t need to carry cash, credit cards, or bank cards when going out, just bring a mobile phone. Everything including shopping, public transport, subways, taxis, and even buying movie tickets, I got used to sorting it all with one phone in China. Coming back to the United States, I found it quite hard to adapt to life here,"

Robert only made statements without going into details, as some things are hard to explain, like how could you explain to that pathology doctor whether Chinese men still wear queues and whether women still bind their feet.

So no matter how skeptical the audience below was, he simply said, "I’ll pay for round-trip tickets, you go take a look, and then there won’t be so many questions."

Robert mentioned: China also has fascinating online novels to read; I used to read them every evening when I was free in China, very interesting. Chinese food is really delicious; if you’re willing, you can have different meals every day. I would go from one restaurant to another near the hospital, and it was really thrilling.

Hearing this, all his colleagues were itching inside, wishing they could immediately buy tickets and fly to China to experience it themselves.

"What about the doctors, how are their doctors? Tell us about their doctors."

Someone egged on.

"Their hospital’s efficiency is very high, and the fees are exceptionally low. If it’s like us where surgeries are scheduled for months or even years; when seeing a patient, they take one to two hours, then tell the patient to increase physical exercise, finally charging thousands to tens of thousands of US dollars. Such practices would get one killed by patients!" Robert exclaimed.

This statement startled the doctors.

"Compared to the workload of Chinese doctors, all of us are just idling away. We do a few surgeries a day, with breaks and coffee in between, and then we take long vacations each year, such behavior is intolerable in China; like us, they would have been swept out of the hospital long ago."

Audience

"Their surgeries are extensive; they sit from morning till evening. If it were like us, leisurely and comfortably doing a few surgeries day and not even going to the clinics."

The doctors were startled again.
