Chapter 440 - 439: Reckless Overconfidence

Chapter 440: Chapter 439: Reckless Overconfidence

Yan Feifan’s main role in the guinea pig’s phalloplasty was to graft the nerves and blood vessels and fill in the muscle tissue.

The remaining portion of the guinea pig’s original penis would be detached and transplanted to the very tip, serving as the enlarged and highly sensitive head of the reconstructed penis.

Yan Feifan was primarily responsible for creating the extended section, which involved filling it with and connecting the necessary tissues.

First was the extension of the urethra.

An adult male’s urethra is about twenty centimeters long and is quite elastic.

Four to five centimeters of the guinea pig’s urethra had been removed, but the remaining part could be stretched and treated, making it just barely long enough.

This part of the job was relatively simple.

However, the nerves and blood vessels couldn’t be stretched seven or eight centimeters. Instead, suitable nerves and vessels had to be harvested from other parts of the guinea pig’s body for grafting.

The muscle tissue used to wrap the toe bone also had to be taken from various places on the guinea pig’s body.

The outer skin for the new penis was taken from the scrotum.

Scrotal skin has excellent extensibility and elasticity. It is also relatively rich in blood vessels and nerves, providing a certain degree of contact sensitivity...

Shortly before 11:00 AM, as the guinea pig’s intense phalloplasty continued, Liu Jin was in his office receiving three officials from the Central Health Bureau of the National Health Commission.

Liu Jin patted two heavy cardboard boxes full of files on the coffee table. "Here are the files you requested on our hospital’s doctors, Zhao Xiaoya and Yv Zhongqian," he explained. "These are their complete records since they started here, including all their consultation and treatment histories."

"We’ve compiled everything. Nothing is missing."

"Thank you for your hospital’s cooperation!"

Yuan He, who appeared to be the oldest of the three at around forty-five with a square face and full lips, offered a polite reply.

He then added in a serious tone, "We are aware that your hospital’s Mr. Zhao and Dr. Yv are both nationally recognized experts in their respective fields. However, their selection depends on a comprehensive evaluation of many factors."

"Until the final decision is made, we must ask you, Mr. Liu, and anyone else with knowledge of this matter, to maintain confidentiality and not disclose any information."

Liu Jin replied with a solemn expression, "Mr. Yuan, I am well aware of the protocols. Rest assured, there will be no leaks."

Yuan He nodded slightly and continued, "Mr. Liu, we would also like to inquire about one of your doctors, Yan Feifan."

"Yan Feifan?" Liu Jin sounded surprised.

Seeing the other man nod in confirmation, he paused for a moment before saying, "To be frank with you all, Mr. Yan was my student. I know him and his background quite thoroughly."

Liu Jin picked up the teapot, refilled their cups, and said slowly, "Although Mr. Yan has shown remarkable results with his application of the dehydrated ethanol Puncture Injection Skill, he is only twenty-five this year. He is still in a period of learning and growth."

Yuan He smiled. "Ambition isn’t limited by youth; accomplishment is what makes a master. We’ve heard that Mr. Yan’s Puncture Injection Skill is extraordinary—truly life-saving in critical moments."

Liu Jin agreed. "To date, Mr. Yan has indeed performed some impressively successful surgeries."

"It’s just that..."

He trailed off, his expression hesitant.

Yuan He prompted, "Mr. Liu, is there something you feel you can’t tell us?"

Liu Jin gave an embarrassed smile. "It’s not that I can’t say it. I’m just a little worried."

"Worried about what?" Yuan He pressed.

Liu Jin took a sip of tea from his cup and continued, "Mr. Yan is young, and he’s carried the ’genius’ label since he was a child."

"This has made him quite confident and proud. When it comes to treating patients, he dares to do what others won’t and often takes an unconventional approach."

"Take the Puncture Injection Skill, for example. He happened to meet a patient with an intraspinal tumor in the hospital’s small plaza, and then, completely out of the blue, he came up with this method."

"The patient was a gutsy fool, too, and actually trusted him."

"Luckily, the kid actually succeeded."

Wearing a look of relief, Liu Jin added, "But this kid has a habit of being reckless and taking risks."

"Once, just two months ago, he was helping the head of psychiatry observe a patient overnight whose mental state needed to be evaluated."

"Because he suspected the man was faking his mental illness, he actually..."

"He actually..."

Yuan He couldn’t help but ask, "What exactly did he do?"

Liu Jin sighed heavily. "He dared to pretend he was a hitman hired to assassinate the man."

"Because the kid’s act was so convincing, the terrified man admitted he was faking his illness."

Liu Jin covered his face with his right hand. "If a few of us hadn’t covered for him, he would have certainly been investigated and disciplined for that incident."

He paused, then met Yuan He’s gaze. "The kid often plays by his own rules and loves taking risks. You can get a sense of that just by thinking about his Puncture Injection Skill."

"He’s only a resident, yet he dares to puncture patients’ intraspinal tumors and brain tumors—something many experienced neurosurgeons and brain surgeons wouldn’t dare attempt lightly."

Liu Jin continued, "Your department is responsible for the health of the nation’s most important figures. I’m afraid that with one reckless, overconfident move, this kid could..."

He left the rest unsaid, but they understood his meaning.

Yuan He exchanged a look with his two colleagues before asking, "Mr. Liu, is there anything else you think we should know about this Dr. Yan Feifan?"

Liu Jin thought for a moment. "Besides his tendency to propose surprisingly radical treatment plans, well..."

He paused again, then added in a low voice, "The kid grew up without his parents’ care, raised by his older sister. They had a tough life early on, which has made him rather fixated on money."

"He now devotes most of his energy to high-profit cosmetic surgeries, and he’s also earned a lot from his puncture injection procedures."

Liu Jin revealed with another smile, "In just a few short months, through various channels, he’s made at least twenty to thirty million, I’d say."

"I have to admit, my student’s talent for making money rivals, or perhaps even surpasses, his medical skills..."

At 5:30 PM, after eight and a half hours, the phalloplasty was finally over.

Chen Yu, Qin Ying, and Yan Feifan walked out of the surgical area, but no family or friends of the guinea pig were there to greet them with concerned questions.

It had to be said, the guinea pig was now socially dead.

However, they were not without a welcoming party.

A middle-aged man with thinning hair, holding several bouquets of flowers, hurried over with a broad smile on his face.

"Heartfelt congratulations on successfully completing another groundbreaking major surgery!"

Chen Yu accepted the flowers he offered and chuckled. "I must say, Mr. Tang, your sources are incredibly well-informed."

"You came all the way here just to catch us."

Tang Jun, the editor-in-chief of the *Binhai University Medical Journal*, chuckled. "The Affiliated Hospital is practically our backyard, so of course our information is up-to-date. Besides, all of you are on my high-priority watch list."

"Now that the surgery is done, what about the paper?"

Chen Yu pointed a thumb at Yan Feifan beside her. "For anything about the paper, he’s your man."

When Mr. Tang turned his eager gaze to him, Yan Feifan explained, "The main body of the paper is already written. All that’s left is the section on the patient’s post-operative monitoring."

"So, Mr. Tang, you’ll have to wait a little longer."

Tang Jun smiled. "Good things come to those who wait. I can wait as long as it takes."

"Mr. Yan, I guarantee it’ll be the lead article again, complete with an editor’s note..."

After settling the matter of the paper with Tang Jun, Yan Feifan left the trauma surgery department, only to see Mr. Liu approaching from a short distance away...
