Chapter 142
[You realized you had reached the limit of your efforts. Your surgery was already near perfection. Standing atop the mountain built on existing medical foundations, you had reached its peak.]
[Unless the mountain of medicine grew higher, there was no way for you to get closer to the sky, closer to your wish.]
[At 53, your energy had begun to wane. A single surgery now left you exhausted, making it impossible for you to dive into foundational medical research and achieve further breakthroughs.]
[You could only hope that the feeling of having reached the peak was an illusion—that the mountain of current medical knowledge still had undiscovered summits for you to climb.]
[You searched through the archives of Chigusa University Hospital and Misaki University Hospital, examining Reina’s medical records from her lifetime and reconstructing her cardiac condition. The new surgical techniques still weren’t enough; they couldn’t ensure a safe and successful treatment for her.]
Reading the simulation text, Yuuki Minami rubbed his temples.
Had he chosen the wrong direction in this simulation? Was an even more advanced surgical procedure not enough to save Reina Nakajima? Did it require a more revolutionary medical breakthrough?
From the simulation text, it seemed the surgery wasn’t entirely hopeless—just unstable. There was still a chance of saving Reina Nakajima.
But he only had one skill extraction opportunity left. If he extracted knowledge of the new surgical procedure and found it still insufficient to save Reina Nakajima, he would have to temporarily set her aside and simulate with others to earn another skill extraction opportunity.
