Chapter 422: Chapter 0390: Da Vinci’s Hot Dance_2

Waiting for such a response, Director Fang’s expression lightens up, “Dean Xia, you misunderstood me, that’s not what I meant. I was saying, should I give a demonstration to Xiao Yang?”

“Xiao Yang, would you like a demonstration from Director Fang?” Dean Xia asked.

After all, as this wasn’t an Orthopedics procedure, Yang Ping was eager and it seemed more natural. “I was just about to say, please do give a demonstration, Director Fang.”

A group of people arrived at the Da Vinci operating room, which was quite large and designed specifically for its use.

With a few doctors, Director Fang demonstrates to Yang Ping, explaining step by step, from turning on the machine, positioning the robotic arm, to controlling the console, and so on.

A surgeon from general surgery took out a glass bottle. Director Fang placed it on the surgery table. This was a bottle that Director Fang had specially bought when he was training in the Da Vinci system at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong.

When Director Fang was training, there was no training center for Da Vinci in mainland China, so he went to Hong Kong to complete the training. Now, a training center for Da Vinci was set up in the Changhai Hospital in Shanghai, which made everything more convenient.

“Grape, grape—” Director Fang called out.

Another general surgeon brought out a grape, inserted a thin, long stick into it, put the grape into the glass bottle, and used the stick to stabilize it to prevent it from rolling around.

A good show was about to start, everyone crowded around the bottle to watch. There were also a lot of doctors, grad students, and standardized training students who were now free.

With everything set up, this was not a demonstration for Yang Ping. It seemed like Director Fang was setting up an opportunity to show off his skill in front of Dean Xia.

Director Fang was quite skillful, the robotic arms were equipped with refined tools; one arm with a pair of forceps, and the other with scissors, and they were carefully introduced into the bottle.

First, he cut a piece of the grape skin, separated it, and then peeled it off.

The scissors were withdrawn from the bottle, another set of forceps holding a needle and thread went in, and with the two tools coordinating, the piece of grape skin was sutured back onto the grape, stitch by stitch.

Sewing, tying the knot and cutting the thread, the tools, flexible enough to be adjusted three hundred and sixty degrees in any direction, sewed the grape skin back on.

Upon finishing the demonstration, Director Fang came out of the operation room: “Now it’s your turn, Xiao Yang. You can move slower, you’re young and a quick learner. You have operated on the Tianji before, the feeling is somewhat similar.”

This was how Director Fang had practiced during his training in Hong Kong.

“Go give it a try!” Director Han encouraged Yang Ping.

Yang Ping went into the control room and sat at the console.

There was no other choice. In order to make Dean Xia feel at ease, Yang Ping had to show off his skills. A robotic arm costs a hundred thousand yuan and can only be used ten times, Yang Ping hated to use it for practice.

Like a pair of snakes, the two robotic arms were simultaneously inserted into the glass bottle. The tools at the end rapidly adjusted their position and the two robotic arms worked together with scissors and forceps in the bottle.

Cutting open, peeling off, separating layers, and then the scissors were withdrawn. Another set of forceps held the needle and thread and went in, starting to suture.

Under the operation of the robotic arm, the grape skin was completely peeled off, then divided into two layers. The two thin grape skins were re-wrapped around the grape, with one layer sewn after another until both layers were sewn up nicely.

The movements were very quick, which left the crowd astonished. Among them, Director Fang, the person who used Da Vinci the most in Sanbo, opened his eyes wide. On the screen, the image was magnified by ten times and the veins of the grape skin were clearly visible, and still intact.

The grape skin was amazingly divided into two layers and was sutured back.

How was it done?

With such a level of skill, he could train those teachers, why would he need practice?

Once the separation and suturing of the grape skin were completed, the terminal tools of the robotic arm began to ‘dance’ rhythmically inside the bottle. The two robotic arms crisscrossed without touching each other, like a passionate couple dancing.

The intense ‘dance’ seemed to push the machine to its limit, and then a third robotic arm entered, followed by a fourth. The four robotic arms in the confined space of the glass bottle began to chase, weave and entwine each other without once colliding. It was as if they were juggling machines.

Suddenly, the four robotic arms stopped, not moving a single thread.

Director Fang wiped the sweat off his forehead, barely catching his breath, when the four robotic arms started dancing again inside. If there was music playing, everyone in the room would probably start dancing too.

The four robotic arms started to twirl and intertwine wildly, making anyone dizzy to watch, yet no collisions occurred. It was like watching a chase between stunt cars at a circus show.

Each robotic arm, costing a hundred thousand yuan and having only ten uses, stopped abruptly at Director Han’s wave of a hand.

“Enough, enough, no need for intensive training, this will do for the competition.”

Yang Ping removed the robotic arm from the glass bottle, got up from the operating console, and slowly walked to the operating table. “The Da Vinci Dance, an original creation!”

With one robotic arm costing a hundred thousand, four would amount to four hundred thousand. To think that this four hundred thousand worth of equipment is being used for a dance performance, Director Han was livid.

However, he had no choice, it was his idea to improve the technology and insist that Yang Ping takes part in it.

Everyone was initially worried that Dr. Yang might have issues with the surgical robot this season. Now that concern could be put to rest. This “Da Vinci Dance” guarantees a rhythmic intertwining and chasing of the four robotic arms, without any collision. It’s an operation on the level of a circus stunt.

Director Fang, heart-ached, inspected the robotic arms, and then the bottle. There were no collisions whatsoever.

These robotic arms can only be used ten times. Reportedly, for safety reasons, once used ten times, the machine would automatically lock, and new ones would have to be bought.

“Why does the Da Vinci Company set it to lock after just ten uses? Who can afford this? Can’t it be used unlimitedly? Wouldn’t that make them more popular?” quipped a disgruntled doctor.

“This use-and-dispose mindset doesn’t only exist in the medical industry, it pervades all industries. Only by doing so can they make a profit, which then funds the research and development of new technology, leading to even more profit. It’s a virtuous cycle. Without limiting usage, the company will not make money. Without a hefty profit, who would conduct the research and development for these high technology?” Song Zimo found the doctor rather naive.

“Just like Shelby company manufactured a light bulb that could last a hundred years. Yet, that factory eventually closed down.” Little Five was reminded of this story.

“Other than a company working to make money for itself, no one is going to donate money just to let you survive.”

“The risk of research and development in the healthcare industry is extremely high, an unsuccessful endeavor could easily waste billions. No one will donate to cover the loss. If it is successful, they definitely will squeeze every last bit to recover the cost and make a profit. Otherwise, no one would explore these things. Without a high-profit incentive, ninety percent of these advanced drugs and equipment would cease to exist.”

“If you were given no wage for work, treated as voluntary labor, how enthusiastic would you be to clock in every day?”

“Boldest heroes come where rewards are greatest. Such is the logic of the high-tech industry.”

Everyone was spouting theories, all talking over each other. Two graduate students even started a heated debate.

“It’s just unethical to purposefully manipulate prices like that. All they care about is money.”

“Unethical? If you’re so moral, why don’t you work for free for the hospital? Let’s see how long you can keep that up.”

“You’re defying morality!”

“What nonsense! They invested money in research and development. Did you donate even a penny? Why shouldn’t they make money?”

“They could make it cheaper, it doesn’t have to be this expensive.”

“They made their calculations. With cheaper prices, how could they make a quick profit? Without profit, they’ll be operating at a loss, and that would lead to bankruptcy.”

Seeing the pair almost ready to fight, Director Zhao of the Medical Affairs Office scolded, “Focus on your own tasks. Perform the surgeries that need to be performed, go write the medical records that need to be written. There are so many more important things to do. I have over ten patients waiting to have their bills paid. If any of you can settle one patient’s bill for me, I’ll treat you like a lord!”

This caused the crowd to burst into laughter, yet the two debaters still refused to let it go, glaring at each other.

Director Zhao became angry, “What, you’re still here? Still glaring? If you don’t leave, I’ll fine each of you a thousand yuan, and deduct it from your salary.”

Upon hearing this, the two immediately trudged away dejectedly.

“Director Tan’s surgery is completed!” a standardized training student ran in to report.

Everyone immediately rushed to the other operating room, where Yang Ping was about to perform a solo act with the Tianji surgical robot.
