"Lao Xuan, to be honest, you don't doubt the effectiveness of this imported drug, Omeprazole. You'll know tomorrow, but I can't bring it out openly because of where it came from. Haha, you know, I can't say much. So I can only bring it out in a different packaging."
Xuan Yongda thought, this brat is really brave, but none of this is his business. He is more concerned about the comprehensive information of this medicine.
"Chen Xia, tell me again, what kind of diseases does this medicine mainly treat?"
"It's mainly used for common gastroenterological diseases like gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and reflux esophagitis. It's also very effective for acute gastric mucosal bleeding. Of course, if you want to kill Helicobacter pylori, this drug alone won't be enough."
"Wait, what is Helicobacter pylori?"
"Helicobacter pylori. Oh, it's not recognized by the mainstream international medical community yet, but it will definitely be the most common bacillus encountered by gastroenterologists in the future. It's a parasitic, Gram-negative bacterium. Over 70% of gastric ulcers and over 95% of duodenal ulcers are caused by Helicobacter pylori."
Xuan Yongda's eyes became blurred again.
Any new medical discovery is not initially accompanied by applause and flowers, but rather by suspicion and suppression from the mainstream medical community, that is, interest groups.
Just like the discovery of Helicobacter pylori.
In fact, humans discovered the existence of Helicobacter pylori very early. Unfortunately, they only observed an unknown bacillus before and did not conduct more in-depth research.
It wasn't until 1979 that Australian pathologist Robin Warren and physician Barry Marshall discovered a spiral-shaped bacterium in the gastric mucosa of patients.
So the two tried to treat it with antibiotics, and unexpectedly it achieved very good results.
Excited, the two began to invest a lot of time to isolate this spiral-shaped bacterium and try to culture it in vitro to confirm its existence and pathogenicity, and they finally succeeded.
The two extremely delighted people began to attend various academic conferences to introduce their new discovery, trying to tell the medical community that gastric ulcers and even gastric cancer may be caused by this bacteria, and that eradicating the bacteria is an effective way to treat gastritis and gastric ulcers.
But the result was that no doctor believed their views. At that time, internists generally believed that stomach problems were caused by stress or spicy food.
No one believes that stomach problems can be caused by bacteria, thinking it is nonsense.
Robin Warren and Barry Marshall were not discouraged and subsequently wrote several letters to the most authoritative and famous medical journal, The Lancet, to express their views.
The editors of The Lancet thought they were talking nonsense and rejected their manuscripts many times. The two of them were often mercilessly ridiculed and mocked by their peers when they attended various academic conferences.
It was not until 1994 that the US NIH published new guidelines, acknowledging that most recurrent peptic ulcers may be caused by Helicobacter pylori and recommending the use of antibiotics for treatment.
Finally, in 2005, Robin Warren and Barry Marshall won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery, and the world medical community recognized the discovery of these two medical masters.
Let’s go back to 1981, in the office of the director of the Department of Gastroenterology at Yuezhou Fourth Hospital.
"Mr. Chen" is still continuing to introduce the advanced features of proton pump inhibitors, but he is already thinking about whether to intercept the research on the discovery of Helicobacter pylori?
"Of course, if you want to kill Helicobacter pylori, proton pump inhibitors alone are not enough. It's best to use a combination of four drugs: two antibiotics, a bismuth agent, and a proton pump inhibitor. But these drugs are currently unavailable in China. I do have a way to get all four drugs, but they're too expensive for most people to afford."
Xuan Yongda sighed. "It's such a shame to hear you say that. The incidence of stomach diseases in our country is quite high. Because gastritis can't be effectively controlled, many people end up with gastric ulcers, gastric perforations, and even gastric cancer. And we can't get the good foreign medicine you mentioned. It's such a shame."
"It's a shame at the moment, but in the long run, our country will gradually have these good medicines, and ordinary people will definitely be able to afford them. But for now, I can only do my best to get some medicine to relieve the patient's pain."
Chen Xia is being very pretentious. If you want to make money, just say so. Why make such a big deal out of it? You can stop feeling wronged.
Xuan Yongda suddenly asked in a low voice, "If some patients are in good condition and need it, could you help get some of the quadruple drug you mentioned?"
Chen Xia's eyes lit up. "Ahem, of course. I have a way to get the medicine, but it's not just a few dollars. A course of treatment takes at least two weeks, which costs at least several hundred yuan."
It is impossible to get medicine from Chen Xia, a money-grubber, without paying a price. In his own words, this is "high risk and high profit".
"Okay, if there really is such a patient, I will contact you then. However, I will first see if it works for the patients in the inpatient department."
The old fox was fooled for a long time, but he still didn't release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
"Okay, it's already noon. Let's go to the cafeteria for lunch. I brought Wushan roast chicken from the provincial capital today. I promise you'll have enough to eat."
Chen Xia's words made Xuan Yongda salivate. As soon as Xuan Yongda took off his white coat,
"Then why are you still standing there? Let's go."
In the cafeteria.
Lao Xuan's roar echoed throughout the cafeteria: "Hey, Lao Qi, I told you you're a robber, putting so much meat in your mouth. Hey, hey, put it down. Feng Runguang, have you asked who this meat belongs to? Go away, ah, my meat."
Anyway, no matter how Xuan Yongda yelled, the amount of braised meat in the box kept decreasing, which made him feel sad. He swore that he would never come to the cafeteria again if there was something delicious.
Even Dean Gu was dissatisfied. "Lao Xuan, why are you fussing? What's wrong with eating a chicken leg? Why don't you call it and see if it responds? How can you prove that these two roasted chickens are yours?"
Ren Yuanfei also fanned the flames: "Yes, this belongs to my apprentice, and his surname is Chen, not Xuan. Comrades, grab it!"
So everyone rushed forward, some pulling the chicken legs, some grabbing the chicken wings. In the blink of an eye, only two chicken shells were left, which made Xuan Yongda so angry that his face turned red.
Chen Xia curled his lips when he saw this. He didn't want to eat meat anymore. He just wanted to drink some winter bamboo shoots and pickled vegetable soup. He couldn't smell the fragrance of the meat anymore.
The yellow croaker was really good, but it was a pity that Chen Qiu’s cooking skills were just average and he couldn’t bring out the delicious flavor of the yellow croaker.
In the afternoon, Chen Xia continued to deliver medicines for free to each department. Medical staff have a high status in society and are the first people that relatives and friends think of when they encounter illnesses.
As long as these people feel the effect is good after trying it, why worry about having no business in the future?
