Chapter 1023: Using VR to Explain the Condition

In fact, this is the second time that Mannstein has set foot on Chinese soil. The first time he came, he was led by August and it felt like a quick visit. This time he came to China alone, and he wanted to deeply experience this special journey.

He walked around with a sophisticated demeanor, as if he was a familiar customer who knew the place well. His eyes flashed with curiosity and expectation, as if he was trying to inhale the new scent of this land with every breath.

When he arrived at the doctor's office, Maninstein recognized Yang Ping at a glance and went straight up to give Yang Ping a big hug.

"I miss you so much!"

Mainstein hugged Yang Ping tightly and spoke in his slightly exaggerated tone.

The two often communicated through WeChat and email and had formed a deep friendship. Compared with their first meeting, this time their friendship seemed even deeper.

Yang Ping was caught off guard by this sudden enthusiasm. He was hugged tightly by Mannstein and could hardly breathe. He could only pat his shoulder. Song Zimo quickly said, "Okay, introduce your friend."

"This is Mr. Bryan, my good friend."

Mannstein let go of Yang Ping, turned around and introduced the German old man and little girl who followed him.

The little girl's outfit was particularly eye-catching, she was wearing a special vest, which was not an ordinary piece of clothing, but a shield specially designed to protect her exposed heart. This scene made Yang Ping, who met her for the first time, feel a surge of sadness and pity.

"Hello!" Mr. Brian politely shook Yang Ping's hand, his eyes full of gratitude and expectation.

Professor Brian's research area is basic medicine, but in order to treat his granddaughter, he taught himself a lot of knowledge about cardiac surgery and can be considered a semi-theoretical cardiac surgeon.

Yang Ping took Aisha, Mainstein and Brian to the clinic in the ward, where he asked about the medical history in detail and performed a thorough physical examination on Aisha, including a detailed heart auscultation, to obtain first-hand clinical data.

After completing these tasks, Yang Ping quickly arranged for the doctor on duty to handle the hospitalization procedures for the little girl Aisha. In the doctor's office, Yang Ping explained Aisha's condition in detail to Mr. Brian.

Brian has visited many famous doctors over the years, just to find a glimmer of hope that Aisha can regain her life. He once took Aisha to the United States to visit a doctor who had rich experience in this type of surgery. However, after a detailed examination, the American doctor shook his head regretfully, saying that the surgery had almost no success rate and he could not bear such a risk.

This failure made Brian's heart sink to the bottom again. It was not until Mannstein told him that Professor Yang Ping from China might be able to perform Aisha's surgery that the spark of hope was rekindled in his heart.

"Professor Yang, can Aisha have surgery?" Mr. Brian asked worriedly. He had asked many doctors the same question before, and the answer he got was always: "Unfortunately, surgery cannot be performed." So this time, Mr. Brian was very afraid of getting the same question.

Yang Ping pondered for a moment facing Aisha's image, and his solemn expression relaxed: "No problem, the surgery can be performed."

Mr. Brian breathed a sigh of relief, and Professor Maninstein showed a proud expression on his face, as if to say to Brian: Look, I helped you a lot, I was right, Professor Yang can perform Aisha's surgery. Brian turned his head and looked at Maninstein gratefully, then said to Yang Ping: "Thank you!"

"We need to complete the preoperative examination and arrange the surgery as soon as possible. The operation is very complicated and has great risks. If Mr. Brian is interested, we can use VR technology to simulate the entire operation process, so that you can see how the operation is performed and what risks will be faced. The VR operating room is our right-hand man." Yang Ping said to Brian and Mannstein.

In order to demonstrate the surgical plan more intuitively and boost Brian's confidence, Yang Ping decided to invite Mannstein and Brian to the Digital Medicine Laboratory of Nandu Medical University. He planned to use the VR operating room to explain Aisha's surgery in detail.

Brian raised his eyebrows immediately: "Very willing, I went to Case Western Reserve University in the United States to give a lecture last April, and the researchers there told me that they will cut off the traditional anatomy laboratory, and medical students will no longer learn anatomy around corpses. Instead, they will be replaced by anatomy laboratories built with VR technology.

In October, I visited the British company Fundamental VR. They used advanced VR technology to build an anesthesia simulation system. Young doctors do not have to nervously demonstrate their immature skills on real people. They connect the specially developed software to the stylus.

In VR, the stylus becomes a syringe. Clicking one button will empty the syringe, and clicking another button will refill it with the injection solution. When the operator moves the stylus in the real world, the virtual syringe will also make synchronous movements. When the virtual needle pierces the virtual human body, different touch sensations will be fed back to the operator through the stylus, allowing them to feel the reaction of the real human body. It is like a real anesthesia puncture. Their tactile feedback system can accurately simulate the touch of the needle passing through different tissues such as skin, fascia, and bone. "

As soon as Mr. Brian heard about the VR operating room, he immediately started talking nonstop. He really wanted to see what Yang Ping's VR operating room was like, and he wanted to see what Aisha's surgery would be like in VR and what kind of accidents would occur.

At this time, many people had gathered in the doctor's office of the Surgical Institute. Both Mannstein and Brian were Nobel Prize winners, and everyone wanted to come and see this world-famous figure in the medical field. Mannstein, in particular, was an all-round player in the medical field. He had achieved major research results in many fields of clinical and basic medicine.

The doctors and nurses at the Institute of Surgery did not seem to be so enthusiastic. From the moment Mannstein and Brian entered the department, there was no obvious gathering of people. They just went about their business and seemed much more generous.

Using VR technology to explain the condition is not only to better communicate the condition, but also to show the digital medical technology of Nandu Medical University to the two international friends, attract them to participate in the use of Nandu Medical University's digital technology, promote the new technology to the world, and gain sufficient voice.

In the academic field, being strong does not only mean leading in technology, but also means actively integrating into the world, maintaining close communication and cooperation with the world, and ultimately becoming a rule maker. Being strong behind closed doors is difficult to sustain and will eventually be eliminated.

Hearing that Professor Yang Ping also had his own VR virtual operating room, Mannstein's interest was instantly ignited. He couldn't wait to see with his own eyes what was so unique about this VR operating room that Yang Ping regarded as his right-hand man.
