Chapter 328 Red Nose Robert

Professor Robert, 46, is at the peak of his career.

Tall and strong, he once won a medal in a bodybuilding competition in New York. He has always had a cropped cut, blond hair, blue eyes, a broad face, and a tall and big nose that stands out. His nose is relatively fair-skinned and a little red.

So people often privately call him Robert the Red Nose. Sometimes he is gentle and gentle, and sometimes he is very grumpy, like an angry lion.

The high cost of surgery has made him appear on the list of the richest doctors in the United States all year round, and he has accumulated wealth purely by practicing medicine. Compared with some former doctors who later switched to investing in pharmaceutical factories and equipment to obtain wealth, he reached the pinnacle of wealth only by performing surgery.

According to the normal charges of the New York Hospital for Special Surgery, the simple operation fee for each operation ranges from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars. If other expenses are included, the cost of a complete inpatient operation is more than 100 million dollars.

However, there is no way to make an appointment through the hospital's channel. The limited number of places every year is fully booked the moment the appointment is opened.

If you want him to perform the surgery himself, the best way is to make an appointment from his private clinic and then operate in his private clinic.

Although it is called a clinic, it is actually a specialized hospital that can perform all levels of sports medicine surgery. The surgical equipment and conditions inside are absolutely world-class.

For the management of the clinic, Robert handed it over to a reliable professional manager, and he was only responsible for the operation, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Here, patients pay high surgery fees and can arrange surgery as soon as possible, but they still have to wait, with an average waiting time of three months.

For some patients who have a better personal relationship with Robert, the operation will be advanced, and the rest of the patients, no matter where you are from, will wait according to the order of appointment.

The appointment fee for the clinic is [-] U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to [-] U.S. dollars for the registration fee.

For surgery in the clinic, the simple surgery fee is calculated in millions of dollars. Of course, those who come to his private clinic for surgery are not short of money.

Many international superstars in basketball, rugby, boxing, and golf in the United States have undergone his surgery. In the United States, every professional athlete, as long as there is no cost consideration, first considers Dr. Robert.

Robert's grandfather and father are also doctors at the New York Hospital for Special Surgery. His grandfather is the founder of sports medicine in the hospital, and his father pushed the hospital's sports medicine to its peak. He is the third generation to practice medicine.

In the industry, he has a more precise title - Robert Jr. to distinguish his grandfather - Robert Sr., and father - Robert.

But as his father retired, calling him Robert would not cause confusion, so people gradually called Dr. Robert directly.

Robert sometimes swears and becomes a lion when he gets angry. His students privately tease him as Mr. Button.

Once a boxing champion lost control of his emotions when he was seeing a doctor, and said in front of him: FUCK, can the operation be performed in advance, I am fed up.

Professor Robert suddenly stopped the conversation, got up and left, went to the door and yelled at the boxing champion: "Shit, either obediently enter the next round of appointments, or lose the chance to become my client forever."

The boxing champion had to wait obediently for a few months. When he saw Robert again, his communication attitude was very good. There was no way, some operations could only be performed by him, and no one wanted to retire early.

Therefore, there is a saying in the sports circle that you can offend your coach or the referee, but don't offend the red-nosed Robert.

Robert pursues celibacy, and the current lover is already the sixth, and three of them have given birth to children for him, and raised the children as a single mother.

Now, Robert is doing multiple ligament reconstruction of the knee joint for a veteran. After obtaining the consent of Dr. Yang Ping in China, he uses the operation method in Yang Ping's thesis.

According to the new method, the operation went smoothly, and the difficulty of doing it was also reduced a lot. Robert had never been so easy in similar operations.

In the past, before the operation, he would use various measurement templates, perform measurements on MRI images, and perform various reconstructions using CT and MRI. Using 3D printing technology, he would print out a simulation model of the patient's knee joint, and then use Perform simulated surgery on the model to obtain data on the starting point and tension of the ligament.

Even so, the surgical process was extremely difficult, and the postoperative results were not satisfactory. The initial stability was only sufficient for normal walking and a small amount of exercise, such as jogging, and the chance of being able to return to the game was infinitely close to zero.

Robert gave this kind of injury a name --- "retirement polyadremia", of course, this is only his personal behavior, this name is not included in the classic textbooks.

He believes that his own name will one day be included in textbooks, just like a special triad of elbow injuries called the terrible triad.

Dr. Robert hummed a song, he was in a very good mood, every step seemed easy, and the experience would be even more wonderful if he became proficient in the future.

For the first time using the new method, Dr. Robert was very cautious and used it for more than four hours.

The operation is over, and now he is testing the front-back, inside-outside, and rotation stability of the knee joint with his bare hands, and the effect is beyond his expectations. This kind of surgery can actually achieve such an effect. If he hadn't checked it himself, he would have been a little unbelievable.

At the end of the examination, Robert laid the patient's lower limbs flat and patted the patient's knee excitedly: "It's great, this former naval lieutenant has received the grace of God, making him the first patient of my new operation. "

The doctor took a few steps away from the operating table, twisted his buttocks and started dancing in the empty area of ​​the operating room.

"Doctor, is this your new operation? The next sports medicine annual meeting will be crazy because of you." The assistant has never seen this red-nosed gentleman lose his composure on the operating table.

Even if this happens, the surgical gown is completely taken off before twisting a few times. Today, the surgical gown has not been taken off, and I can't help twisting.

"Doctor, pay attention to sterility." The obese itinerant nurse reminded.

Robert didn't care: "Jenny, the operation is over, Barrell is finishing up, I'm no longer on stage, please don't interrupt my dance steps, it's impolite, and it's easy to hurt the feelings of colleagues."

He actually took off his surgical gown while dancing, and then made a coquettish and sexy move like a stripper, threw the surgical gown and gloves into the trash can, and blew a kiss to everyone, accompanied by winks.

"Sir, what's wrong with you today, do you need to ask for psychological counseling?" The equipment nurse shrugged.

Robert said mysteriously: "Don't talk to me, I have to go back to the office and I will be right back."

His team has been working together for more than ten years. Assistants, equipment nurses, itinerant nurses, anesthesiologists and rehabilitation doctors are all exclusive to him. They not only complete the operations in the hospital, but also complete the operations in the clinic together.

Outside of work, they often gather together and often take their families to travel together. They enjoy themselves happily. Everyone is used to this gentleman’s beaming face, and he is also used to using a low growl to swear when he is angry. a lover.

Robert is generous, and his team members have followed him and have become rich. Some of his assistants have also grown into well-known sports medicine experts and opened their own clinics independently.

In the field of sports medicine in the United States, Robert is a golden sign.

"Go back and use the KT2000 to test the stability of the ligament, do a dynamic magnetic resonance, and conduct dynamic data analysis." Robert explained when he went out.

Carmela, Robert's sixth live-in lover, with little Andrew, is waiting for him in the office.

"Honey, did the operation go well? I already know the result by looking at your expression." Carmela flicked her long blond hair, and her plump body was wrapped in a long skirt.

A five or six-year-old black child immediately ran forward and hugged Robert: "Dad——"

"Baby, let Dad hug you." Robert's thick arms picked up the child and held it to his chest.

"Oh, I've grown taller again." Robert kissed the child.

Robert and Carmela have no children for the time being. This black child is not Robert's child, but a child in an orphanage. His single mother was shot and killed in a school shooting to protect students.

As charity volunteers, Robert and Carmela acted as his temporary parents, taking him out to play when they had time, so that the child could experience the missing parental love.

When the child was three years old, he fell from the attic, injured his left knee, and ruptured multiple ligaments. Because the child’s surgery involves growth and development, it is more difficult than the adult surgery, and once it fails, it cannot be remedied. Robert has never taken out Satisfactory surgical plan.

"Just had an MRI done on him, and the pictures were put into this CD." Carmela took out the CD from her bag and handed it to Robert.

Robert put down the child and took the CD: "His knee joint is hopeful to be healed. Perhaps, a Chinese doctor can help him."

"It's great! But, you can't do anything about it. How could other doctors operate on him?" Carmela was surprised. She was a little bit disappointed while excited. It might be Robert's words to make the child happy.

"I'm not completely sure now. I'm going to take a trip to China. Before I go, I want to get Andrew's latest inspection information, contact the Chinese doctor, send it to him in advance, and listen to his opinion." Robert is very Confidence, but he didn't dare to make a final conclusion until he saw Yang Ping undergo the operation with his own eyes.

"Dad, these books are very heavy." Little Andrew climbed onto the chair and went to get the medical books on the desk.

"Baby, be careful, that thing is too heavy." Robert picked up the book for the child and opened it for him to read.

"Daddy still has surgery, baby, you and mommy are playing here." Robert kissed Andrew.

Carmela and Robert embraced, Robert leaned over and bowed his head, and Carmela kissed his forehead: "Andrew stays at home these few days, go home early, we are waiting for you, love you, dear."

"Love you, honey, I'll cook dinner for you tonight." Robert also kissed Carmela's forehead.

"Dad, go to work, I want to take this book home."

Little Andrew looked at the book without looking back.
