A few months ago, Kouyate's team found Zhao Yuan through Dr. Badek, hoping that Zhao Yuan could perform knee surgery on him.
The suggestion given by Zhao Yuan at that time was that if he retired, he could perform surgery on Kouyate, otherwise, he would refuse to perform surgery.
Kouyate originally planned to go to China to persuade Zhao Yuan in person, but then, with the persuasion of others, he chose another team.
This team is well-known in Europe and has performed surgeries on many professional athletes.
They are also taking the path of endostent technology.
Although it is slightly less professional than the Badek team, it is basically close and has accumulated some successful cases.
At Kouyate's request, the operation was quickly completed.
Two months later, Kouyate began recovery training in preparation for competing in a professional competition next month.
Just when I thought everything was going well, during the rehabilitation process, Kouyate was injured again!
I found the surgical team again, and the surgeon said that I could only do the surgery again. However, it will take at least half a year to return to competitive form.
Kouyate suddenly thought of the prophetic suggestions given by Baddeck when he had previous contact with Baddeck’s team.
Kouyate no longer trusted the team and found Dr. Baddeck again.
After Badek saw Kouyate's knee, he made a preliminary assessment that the knee was completely scrapped.
First, although they are both endostent technologies, the structures of the endostents are completely different. The internal stents made by their team are all products of Salamander Medical. They have gone through countless iterations over the years. Both structural optimization and materials have reached a very high level. Most of the products currently used by their peers are plagiarized. There are big quality problems in following the trend.
Secondly, multiple injuries are not simply one plus one.
Due to frequent surgeries, Kouyate's knee has long been in pieces and has not yet recovered. When he was injured again, the room for recovery has completely disappeared.
At first, Baddeck politely declined.
However, Kouyate's attitude was sincere and he gave a number that he could not refuse.
Zhao Yuan heard the whole story and sighed softly, "I have already said that he must retire."
Badke smiled bitterly, "He regrets it so much now that he should insist on having you perform the surgery. Is there any chance of saving it now? His requirements have been lowered and he can retire, but he hopes to have a healthy knee like a normal person."
Zhao Yuan was silent for a few seconds, "Let him come to China! I will do my best."
Badek breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll notify him right away."
After hanging up the phone, Dr. Badek shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He was completely convinced of Zhao Yuan.
When Zhao Yuan refused the patient, several of Badek's subordinates held objections.
They believed that if Zhao Yuan refused to do it, the worst they could do would be to do it themselves.
At that time, Dr. Badek even wanted to contact Kouyate again, but Kouyate found another team.
Because of this incident, some people thought that Zhao Yuan was too high-minded, too arrogant, and a bit stupid. He didn't even take a bite of the cake that was put to his lips.
Now, several months have passed, and the facts have proved that Zhao Yuan was wise.
Although endostent technology is the top technology in the field of kinematics, any technology has its upper limit.
This technology can allow most athletes to return to competitive levels, but it can also encounter irreversible situations.
Zhao Yuan is the inventor of technology and has a clear understanding of what operations can be performed and what fees can be charged.
If you receive money but fail to accomplish anything, your reputation will be ruined easily.
There are things to do and things not to do.
A truly wise man will not overestimate his abilities and do things beyond his capabilities.
Three days later, Kuyate arrived in Baiyun from the distant city of Ma.
Kouyate's sudden appearance shocked the Chinese sports world.
Kouyate's reputation is no less famous than basketball star Brad.
Kouyate kept a low profile and refused any media interviews. His mood at the moment was one of despair.
I have consulted many medical teams and found that my condition is not optimistic.
Not to mention continuing to engage in sports, even being able to run and jump like normal people is difficult.
Some medical teams even suggested amputation.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Kouyate finally met the famous Chinese doctor.
The other person is younger than in the photo.
Zhao Yuan walked to Kuyate and began to examine him.
Although he had already seen the previous inspection results, Zhao Yuan had to get started in order to have a clearer and more intuitive view.
After Zhao Yuan finished the physical examination, his expression was a little complicated.
Kuyate could no longer control his nervousness. "Swordsman Te Zhao, please tell me the actual situation directly. I have already prepared for the worst. As long as it does not require amputation, I can accept it."
Zhao Yuan noticed that Kuyate's mood was a little broken, and he glanced around at the people around him, "Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Kouyat was surprised and asked the team members to leave.
Only Zhao Yuan, Badek, and Kuyate were left in the room.
Zhao Yuan sat in front of Kuyate, his tone full of regret, "If you choose our team for your first surgery, your knee will not be damaged so seriously. However, you don't have to worry. According to my judgment, if Using a new technology, there is a 60 percent chance that your knee may be able to reach a competitive level."
Kuyate looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise, "I don't have to retire?"
Zhao Yuan nodded, "I have to apologize to you. I shouldn't have rejected you directly. Judging from the examination results at that time, your knee is indeed unable to compete again. However, your other leg is stronger than imagined. As long as If you adjust your exercise habits a little bit, you can still maintain a high level of competition."
When Badek heard what Zhao Yuan said, he suddenly realized.
Before everyone was studying Kouyate's injured knee, no one cared about his healthy knee.
During exercise, both knees come into play.
Badek explained for Zhao Yuan, "You can't blame Swordsman Te Zhao. You didn't come to China at that time. If Swordsman Te Zhao had examined you, you could have avoided regrets."
In the eyes of the public, Kouyate has always been a tough guy.
But at this moment, he still shed tears of regret.
Why did he give up his initial choice and look for another team.
That team was clearly second-rate.
Because of Zhao Yuan's ability to predict the unknown, Kuyate has completely trusted Zhao Yuan.
As for why he asked his team to leave the room.
Kouyate was not stupid. He chose another team and spent a lot of money on medical expenses.
Now that I think about it, is there something fishy about this medical expense?
Kouyate’s mother once reminded herself to be careful with agents.
But Kouyate didn't care because he didn't believe that his agent, who had been with him for many years, would do something to harm him.
Zhao Yuan waited for Kuyate to control his emotions and said softly: "There is no 100% success in medicine, but occasionally there will be a one-in-a-ten thousand miracle. Although Dr. Badek and I remain pessimistic about curing you, If you have the courage to try, you might get unexpected results."
Kouyate is an athlete and has a strong psychological endurance. He gathered his emotions and said extremely firmly, "Surgeon Te Zhao, please be my surgeon. No matter what the result is, I am willing to accept it."
Seeing that the time was right, Zhao Yuan began to explain his surgical ideas.
Dr. Badek noticed Zhao Yuan's unique communication method from the side.
He lowered Kouyate's psychological expectations as much as possible.
This is undoubtedly a good thing.
Kouyate's previous surgical goals were too high.
For doctors, this creates tremendous stress.
For patients, isn’t it stress?
