Chapter 58 Human Sentiments
After assisting Doctor Higashiyama with Hanayama Mikie's surgery, Chen Yu suddenly found himself with no work that required his immediate attention.
Because Professor Kube hoped that Chen Yu could quickly organize his research into a paper, he didn't assign him any new tasks, wanting him to focus on writing his paper as soon as possible to get it published.
Understanding what Professor Kube intended, Chen Yu naturally didn't want to disappoint him, especially since he would benefit the most from getting his research published. So, Chen Yu concentrated all his efforts on writing the paper, just as Professor Kube had hoped.
Although Chen Yu's research was of great significance, with a cancer-suppressing drug that deserved all the praise it could get, in theory, the drug was not complex, and creating a paper on it did not require lengthy explanations.
After spending two days organizing Inomata Naoki's medical history as supporting case evidence for the paper, and recording his own experimental records and thoughts, Chen Yu had nearly finished writing the paper after clarifying the workings of the drug he developed.
Indeed, as he had said himself, he was not skilled at writing papers. Although he added all the necessary content, the paper felt dry and was just an ordinary report on pharmaceutical research. If one only glanced it over, they wouldn't imagine such a mundane paper had the potential to change the world.
Looking at what he had written, Chen Yu also felt it would hardly attract others or spark interest in his work. However, when Chen Yu tried to revise it, he was simply not proficient at that sort of thing. He made a few attempts but still found it hard to satisfy himself.
Chen Yu was truly not adept at writing papers. Even during his university days, his papers required multiple revisions under a professor's guidance and barely passed at the deadline. So, asking him to write it on his own was indeed a tall order.
Luckily, Professor Kube was Chen Yu's mentor in university and was well aware of his struggles with writing papers. He specially arranged for Professor Niaoi, who was skilled at academic research, to help Chen Yu refine his paper. This way, he could produce at least a presentable paper and prevent his research from being overlooked due to poor writing.
——————————————————————————
"Professor Niaoi, this is my paper, please help me revise it," said Chen Yu sincerely as he placed the paper, which had been revised several times, in front of Professor Niaoi.
Picking up Chen Yu's paper, Professor Niaoi didn't start reviewing it immediately. Instead, he smiled politely at Chen Yu and said, "I was wondering when you would send me your paper, Mr. Chen Yu. I didn't expect you to finish it so quickly, that's really impressive for someone your age!"
"You flatter me, Professor Niaoi. It's just that I know my own abilities. I'm okay with research, but writing academic papers is really not my forte, and even this paper took me several revisions before it was presentable," Chen Yu replied with modesty to Professor Niaoi's compliment. "To get it published, it still needs correction by an academic authority like you, Professor Niaoi."
"You're indeed different from most young people nowadays, Mr. Chen Yu, lacking that arrogant nature, which is very good! However, as a young person, you should still be confident, don't be too modest," Professor Niaoi said, making pleasantries as he opened the paper Chen Yu had brought and quickly skimmed through it. Having a good grasp of its content, he then said to Chen Yu, "Mr.
Chen Yu, I need some time to edit your paper. I'll keep it with me and get back to you once I've made the necessary changes, how does that sound?"
"Then I'll leave it to Professor Niaoi. I'll take my leave now, Professor. Please go ahead with your work." Having Professor Niaoi revise the paper was prearranged, so Chen Yu naturally had no objections. After bidding farewell, he left Professor Niaoi's office.
As Chen Yu walked towards his office, suddenly a nurse stopped him, "Doctor Chen, Director Yamamoto from the Department of Internal Medicine is looking for you. Please go to her office."
"Director Yamamoto? Did she say what it's about?" Chen Yu frowned slightly, he had taken an aversion to Yamamoto Hisae after the last incident and had been avoiding her in the hospital, not wishing to encounter her.
However, the nurse shook her head, indicating she did not know.
Chen Yu had no choice but to follow the nurse's directions and headed for Yamamoto Hisae's office.
"Director Yamamoto, I heard you were looking for me?" Although Chen Yu had no good feelings for Yamamoto Hisae since the last incident, he maintained basic courtesy.
Yamamoto Hisae was aware of Chen Yu's attitude towards her and did not exchange pleasantries, nodding slightly before getting straight to the point, "Doctor Chen, during your last surgery, you invited a freelance doctor as an assistant, didn't you? Her name seems to be Daimon Michiko?"
"Dr. Daimon? Yes, I did ask for her help last time. Is there a problem?" Chen Yu's eyes narrowed, guessing that Yamamoto Hisae might bring up the matter of Daimon Michiko being prohibited from practicing medicine, but still pretended ignorance, brushing off Yamamoto.
Experience tales at empire
"Why bother pretending with me, Doctor Chen? If Professor Kube can find out, don't you think I can too?" Yamamoto Hisae naturally saw through Chen Yu's deflection, but this time she was not trying to coerce him. After pointing out his feigned ignorance, she explained her intentions, "Though Daimon Michiko is a freelance doctor, her medical skills surpass many in this hospital...
No, in terms of surgical skills alone, probably no one all over Japan can beat her. Isn't it a tremendous waste to bar such an excellent surgeon from practicing medicine in Japan, Doctor Chen?"
"What are you trying to say, Director Yamamoto?" Chen Yu did not wish to beat around the bush with Yamamoto Hisae and asked her directly.
"It would be such a shame for an excellent surgeon like Daimon Michiko to be barred from practicing medicine.
If she could work at Eastern University Affiliated Hospital, it would be an improvement for our surgical department as well," Yamamoto Hisae smiled, not minding Chen Yu's attitude, and explained, "Even though it was the former president of the Japan Medical Association who banned Daimon Michiko, it was only the former president.
If the current president could lift this ban, Daimon Michiko would be able to resume practicing medicine in Japan.
To get the current president of the Japan Medical Association to do so, it will depend on you, Doctor Chen. Once your research is successfully published and gains significant attention, if you are willing to cooperate with the Japan Medical Association, then I don't think the current president will refuse to do you this favor."
"Why are you telling me this?" Chen Yu could of course tell that what Yamamoto Hisae was saying was the truth, but he was somewhat puzzled as to why she was telling him this.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Yamamoto Hisae raised a corner of her mouth, showing a meaningful smile, "I want to owe you a favor."
