21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 660 - 656: Surgery Begins (Please Subscribe, Request Monthly Tickets)
Once the treatment plan was confirmed, surgery was swiftly arranged in the process.
However, with the successful clinical trial of the broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug, Chen Yu's fame also surged dramatically during this period.
"Cancer Terminator," "Cancer Nemesis," "The Last Blessing for Tumor Patients"—a series of accolades were bestowed upon him. Countless academic conferences wanted to invite him to participate, countless medical colleges and hospitals wanted to invite him for lectures, and similarly, countless patients with terminal illnesses hoped to be saved by him.
Fortunately, as this was an upcoming new drug, Chen Yu was not particularly fond of lecturing. He only agreed to lecture invitations from two medical colleges within Tokyo and his own The University of Tokyo. Chen Yu did not accept any other invitations.
As for the requests to have him specifically manage their treatment, this was not something the average patient could achieve. Chen Yu currently had twelve special patients, all living in top-tier VIP wards, each waiting for him to save their lives.
However, fortunately, since the new drug had been successful in clinical trials and with the help of Member of Parliament Kanai, the marketing authorization was also quickly approved by the relevant authorities. For those special patients who did not wish to undergo surgery, it was enough to prescribe the medicine to keep them alive.
Of course, it's not the case that tumors are unproblematic merely because they do not worsen. Some tumors can be treated palliatively without surgery. However, for some patients, their tumors have reached a life-threatening stage and must undergo surgery.
For example, this patient with a huge mediastinal tumor that Chen Yu was dealing with, if the tumor was not removed, it could cause a thrombus in the superior vena cava, compress the surrounding organs, and even affect the phrenic and recurrent laryngeal nerves, causing respiratory difficulties. In such cases, if surgery to remove the tumor isn't performed, even if his broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug could suppress tumor activity and prevent the cancer cells from spreading or the tumor from worsening, the patient's quality of life and lifespan would still be impacted.
Therefore, for these special patients, Chen Yu had to arrange treatment plans according to the different conditions of each patient.
Of course, not all of the special patients' treatment plans were personally drawn up by him. Although these special patients came for his reputation, if he personally had to handle all twelve, he wouldn't be able to do anything else; he would just be revolving around these special patients.
Naturally, Chen Yu had to delegate these special patients, at least he didn't need to personally monitor each one of them.
At such times, the ordinary doctors of General Surgery became a useful tool in Chen Yu's hands.
By giving these doctors the title of assistant and then showing them off in front of the special patients, handing over the medical records to the assistants, and having them handle daily treatment and treatment plans while Chen Yu was responsible for the final review to check for oversights and mistakes, most of the work could be resolved.
Out of the twelve special patients, aside from the patient with the massive mediastinal tumor, among the other eleven patients, quite a few needed surgery. Only five special patients could be treated palliatively, taking the new drug to suppress the cancer.
In total, seven patients meant seven surgeries. For Chen Yu, this was not a large number of surgeries, but it also was not possible to squeeze them all into one day, so scheduling was inevitable.

The huge mediastinal tumor surgery was scheduled as the fourth operation, not for any special reason, but because the surgery was complex and time-consuming. Chen Yu needed his wife to take care of the anesthesia, and if Jounouchi Hiromi's help was required, it was also necessary to accommodate her schedule.
Recently, Jounouchi Hiromi's popularity in the news media has been no less intense than that of Chen Yu, with the first ever human being developed outside the womb through an artificial womb about to reach the due date. Jounouchi Hiromi has devoted all her energy to this project during this time, closely monitoring the laboratory every day, checking the fetus's various physiological conditions and preventing any possible problems.
The hospital also expressed support for this endeavor, not only providing Jounouchi Hiromi with a more professional team for assistance but also adjusting her patient consultations, allowing her to focus solely on the experiment.
Of course, if Chen Yu needed his wife's help with a surgery, the hospital couldn't really say anything and would have to respect Jounouchi Hiromi's personal decision.
"Honestly, knowing that I have to be in the lab every day, you still have me help you with the surgery. Husband, can't you perform surgery without me?" Grumbling discontentedly, Jounouchi Hiromi said this to Chen Yu while washing her hands.
Facing his wife's complaints, Chen Yu could only respond with a smile, "It's because I trust my wife's skills. Is there an anesthesiologist in our hospital better than you? And I don't ask for your help with just any surgery, you know. The difficulty of this one is high, and I can only rest assured when my wife is the anesthesiologist!"
"Always saying sweet nothings! Alright, but don't make a habit of it," Jounouchi Hiromi retorted softly, wiping her hands dry before entering the operating room.
Watching Jounouchi Hiromi enter the operating room, Kohinata Kaori, who was also scrubbing her hands beside Chen Yu, hurriedly leaned in to ask him, "Senior brother, isn't the sister-in-law a professor in general surgery? How is it that she can act as an anesthesiologist? Don't we have other anesthesiologists in the hospital?"
"Hiromi was a very professional and highly skilled anesthesiologist before she became a surgeon. She switched to surgery due to some accident," Chen Yu glanced at his junior sister, continuing to scrub his hands as he explained, "As for the other anesthesiologists in the hospital, first of all, they are not as skilled as Hiromi, this is from my personal experience; secondly, Hiromi and I coordinate more seamlessly, I have gotten used to having her by my side. Although I try not to let her work too hard and have other anesthesiologists assist me in surgeries, for more significant or difficult operations, I still trust Hiromi more."
"I see, then today I really get the chance to witness the strength of you and sister-in-law as a team!" Kohinata Kaori said with an excited smile on her face.
Chen Yu shook his head, having just finished washing his hands, he couldn't tap on Kohinata Kaori's head and could only give her a helpless look.
After both had scrubbed their hands, with the help of the nurses, they dressed in surgical gowns and put on gloves, then went to the operating room together.
On the operating table, the patient was already in place, and Jounouchi Hiromi had completed the tracheal intubation and general anesthesia for the patient.
Standing at the operating table, Chen Yu, with his hands raised, looked at Kohinata Kaori standing in front of him and smiled, "The last time you joined me in the operating room, Kaori, was still during our school days, right? Back then, you could only stand by and take notes, but now you're able to be my assistant."
"People improve, senior brother," Kohinata Kaori recalled those days and said, "I remember after each surgery you'd treat me and the second senior brother to tasty food. Will there be a tasty reward after this surgery?"
"I know there's a very good late-night diner near the hospital, I'll take you there after the surgery," Chen Yu said and then put on a serious expression, "Now, the surgery begins."
