This involves a huge business worth tens of billions of dollars a year, and the Harvard team absolutely does not want any accidents to happen.

Lin Sanqi also complained to Professor Theodore:

"Theodore, didn't we agree to temporarily borrow the Welsh Hospital's space? Why are the people from the Welsh Hospital the protagonists now? Have they forgotten that they are just tools?"

Professor Theodore smiled bitterly:

"Lin, your slogan is really too scary. We're the world's first medical team to conquer tuberculosis. Everyone wants to be famous. If the Welsh Hospital can expose your lies, they can instantly become the most awesome hospital!"

Lin Sanqi understood: "You mean, they readily agreed to lend us the venue, but in fact they did it with the intention of slapping us in the face, so that they can become famous by stepping on our corpses?

Professor Theodore chuckled:

"Well, do you regret it now? If you had agreed to let us go to the United States, to our Massachusetts General Hospital, we wouldn't have all this trouble now."

Lin Sanqi was speechless: "Hong Kong doesn't only have this hospital. We can find another one."

Professor Theodore laughed and put his arm around Lin Sanqi's shoulders.

"No, Lin, challenges are a bad thing, but they are also a good thing. The more trouble the Welsh hospital causes, the more attention it will attract from the medical community around the world. This is a great advertising opportunity.

So your best bet now is to defeat them clinically and prove it to your peers around the world.

The Welsh Hospital wants to step on you to gain power, and conversely, your Infectious Disease Hospital can also step on the Welsh Hospital to gain power, taking the opportunity to establish the clinical authority of your Chinese Infectious Disease Hospital."

Lin Sanqi jokingly said:

"Theodore, you've been studying in China for six months. You've learned our philosophy quite well. Do you understand the principle of yin and yang, the mutual exchange of one and the other?"

But after careful consideration, Lin Sanqi felt that what the Harvard doctor said made sense.

This is just like when a movie is about to be released in later generations, all kinds of news about the crew will appear before the release, such as fights, conflicts between the protagonists, the male and female protagonists falling in love, etc.

This is actually a means of hype to attract people's attention.

The more trouble there is in the Welsh Hospital, the more attention the tuberculosis clinical verification team will receive, which is actually a good thing.

Anyway, the quadruple therapy proposed by Lin Sanqi is real and effective. I am not afraid of people finding fault with it with a magnifying glass, but I am afraid that others will not find fault with it.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi touched his chin and looked at Ji Xiangyao who was chatting and laughing with someone.

If a "deputy chief physician" died for unknown reasons, and the case was turned into an unsolved one, and then the media hyped it up, preferably with a supernatural twist, like the Elisa Lam incident, wouldn't that attract more attention?

Just as Lin Sanqi was lost in thought, Professor Theodore nudged him:

"Lin, let's go. It's time for dinner. We can discuss any issues after dinner."

Lin Sanqi waved his hand and said, "You guys go eat first. I still need to transport this CT machine. If someone intercepts it, I'll suffer a huge loss."

Professor Theodore agreed. This was a top-secret medical device invented in China. If it was left there, it would easily attract attention.

"OK, let's go first."

After everyone left, Lin Sanqi pushed the bedside CT machine out, passed by an empty corridor, pushed the door open and disappeared behind it.

In 2014, Huadu

Lin Sanqi took a moment to calm down and adjust to the time difference before he took out his phone and dialed:

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I have a case that I'd like to consult with you."

As an expert doctor, friends and relatives often come to consult about a case. This is a doctor's daily routine. Dean Wang casually asked:

"Oh, what kind of case?"

"There is a patient who has been complaining of intermittent coughing, sputum production, and shortness of breath for more than five months. There is some controversy now. I want to distinguish whether it is tuberculosis or lung cancer."

Dean Wang's main job is infectious diseases. When he heard about respiratory or thoracic surgery diseases, he frowned:

"Oh, what a coincidence! I'm in Changsha for a meeting right now. So, you should go see Professor Ye Feixiang, the director of the respiratory department. He's a specialist and more professional."

Lin Sanqi was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Wang, such a great professor may not pay attention to a small doctor like me."

Dean Wang said disdainfully on the other end of the phone:

"Who in the entire Huadu health system dares not to honor you, Mr. Lin? Okay, put on your work clothes and go over there in person. Be polite. I'll give him a call, too."

Lin Sanqi quickly nodded and bowed: "You are indeed my dear mentor. Thank you, haha."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Sanqi drove to the Southern Hospital. He now has an exclusive room in the VIP ward with some personal belongings.

In theory, Lin Sanqi is now also an employee of the Southern Hospital, working under the infectious disease department, so he has his own work clothes and work badge.

Generally speaking, the title of hospital staff is much more useful than the title of leaders' relatives and friends, and they will definitely be taken care of within the hospital.

For those medical bigwigs, no matter you are the dean's sister-in-law or the secretary's third uncle, they are disgusted with this kind of backdoor stuff. If you don't give them face, then don't give it, and the leaders will not give in.

In the respiratory department office of Southern Hospital, Professor Ye Feixiang was looking at the CT scan on Lin Sanqi's notebook.

Ye Feixiang, 58 years old this year, is a chief physician, professor, doctoral supervisor, and Yangtze River Scholar. He is an authoritative expert in respiratory medicine. Normally, it would cost at least 1,000 yuan to make an appointment with him.

"Xiao Lin, you said this patient is controversial? Is there a conflict between tuberculosis and lung cancer?"

Lin Sanqi took out an X-ray film:

"Professor Ye, please look at this X-ray. This is a patient from a hospital in Africa. They only have the capacity to take X-rays. They believe the patient has diffuse miliary shadows in both lungs, so they diagnosed him with tuberculosis."

Professor Ye tutted his lips, then nodded slightly with some sympathy:

"This X-ray technology is obviously 50 years old. It's very blurry. No wonder those African doctors made the wrong diagnosis. Xiaolin, please stop making fun of them."

Lin Sanqi thought, "How could I look down on him? Now he's using this film to look down on me."

"Yes, yes, Teacher Ye is right. So I took a bedside CT scan for this patient. Could you explain to me the difference and connection between this X-ray and the CT scan in front of you?"

After saying that, Lin Sanqi placed an exquisite gift box of Cordyceps on the table.

The box is not big, and it contains 10 Cordyceps Kings placed in 10 vacuum tubes. The packaging is very exquisite and it is the best gift. These 10 Cordyceps alone are worth more than 10,000 yuan.

Professor Ye chuckled and pushed it back:

"I don't believe in this stuff. What good is it? Drinking more hot water and taking fewer supplements is the true way to stay healthy. Okay, I'm so happy that you came to ask me for advice. I like students like you who are humble and eager to learn."

Lin Sanqi blushed and then took back the Cordyceps and listened carefully to Professor Ye's explanation.

"Put these two films together. Let's look at the X-ray first. First, let's find the lesion from this position..."

Professor Ye spoke for almost half an hour before he explained the case in detail to Lin Sanqi.

Lin Sanqi sat up straight and finally asked:

"Teacher Ye, so you think this is a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma?"

"Yes, next time you see mucinous adenocarcinoma, just remember a few key words and it will be easy to diagnose: white foamy sputum + dead branches + tracheal spread + gravity characteristics = mucinous adenocarcinoma."

Look, this is the experience of an old professor with rich clinical knowledge. It is impossible to write it so straightforwardly in a textbook.

"Then, Professor Ye, if this is a case of mucinous adenocarcinoma, what kind of treatment plan can we adopt?"

"Mucinous adenocarcinoma is treatable in its early stages, and living five years after surgery is not a problem. However, this patient is already in the late stage, and we do not recommend surgery because it cannot completely remove the lesion and may accelerate the spread of cancer cells.

"The only options left are chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but you're a doctor, and most patients don't need to go through this. Even if chemotherapy and radiotherapy extend a patient's life by a few months or a year, their quality of life will be completely lost, so what's the point of living?"

Lin Sanqi was silent, thinking that how could a rich person be willing to die? He would definitely demand treatment at any cost.

This is also the reason why oncology business is booming and doctors have the highest income, because oncology really spends money like water, and family members are either paying or on the way to pay.

"Then, Mr. Ye, if the images can't explain those African doctors, what other tests can I do to confirm the diagnosis?"

Professor Ye smiled and said, "That's true. If those African doctors haven't seen a CT scan, it will be difficult to convince them. Then we'll have to do a biopsy or an autopsy in the future."

Lin Sanqi thought about it and realized that he had flipped through the textbooks of that era and found no chapter on mucinous adenocarcinoma. Apparently, the disease had not yet been fully discovered.

If it is an unknown disease, if it is identified through pathological examination, it becomes a systematic project.

You have to produce the pathological biopsy evidence, which involves the work of the pathology department.

"Teacher Ye, does our pathology department have any specimens related to mucinous adenocarcinoma? Or what is the specimen testing process like? I'd like to see and learn."

Professor Ye smiled and nodded when he heard Lin Sanqi's words. He admired this good student who was serious about learning and was willing to get to the bottom of things.

"Okay, leave it to me. Come with me to the pathology department. I'll personally teach you how to take samples and perform tests."

Lin Sanqi has a basis in pathological testing. As a college student from a prestigious university, you must not only be proficient in clinical practice, but also be able to perform all auxiliary examinations and be able to do it yourself.

So in half a day, Lin Sanqi personally performed two standard cases, and he already had a rough idea of ​​how to do it.

With a clear mind, he bravely and confidently traveled back to the Welsh Hospital in Hong Kong in 1962. (End of this chapter)
