Royal Perth Hospital Library, Australia.
When Robin Warren got the latest issue of The Lancet and saw the paper on Helicobacter pylori, she felt her blood pressure rise.
"Fuck, fuck, how is this possible? When did the Chinese start studying Helicobacter pylori? How did they publish it in The Lancet? This is clearly our research topic, and we even have a draft of the paper ready."
Robin Warren slammed the magazine in front of him and yelled like he had lost his mind, and was directly kicked out by the librarian.
He ignored everything and ran to the internal medicine ward as fast as he could. "Barry, Barry, our project has been plagiarized."
Barry Marshall happened to be reading in the office. When he heard the news, he immediately stood up.
"Robin, tell me clearly, who is plagiarizing our research?"
"Look, look at this issue of The Lancet. There's a paper from China titled 'Unidentified Campylobacter Found in the Stomachs of Patients with Gastritis and Peptic Ulcer'. Look, even the title is exactly the same as our draft paper, and 80% of the content is identical. Damn! Someone plagiarized our paper."
Barry Marshall snatched the magazine and started reading. His hands were shaking as he read. It was a scandal, an absolute scandal. Someone had blatantly plagiarized their papers and research results.
At this time, several doctors nearby laughed out loud:
"Hey Barry, Robin, you guys are so funny. Do you know where China is? Who did they use to plagiarize your paper? It seems that we don't have any Chinese employees in our medical department?"
"Yes, let alone Chinese employees, there aren't even any Chinese patients."
"Perhaps the Chinese have some special ability to cross the Pacific Ocean from the far east to our country and steal Barry and Robin's papers."
“Hahahaha~~~~~”
Their colleagues had every reason to laugh at the two people before them. What was wrong with them? Not to mention China was thousands of miles away from Australia. Even if they were plagiarizing, it would have been the research of the professors at the hospital. How could they possibly be interested in the private research of these two young doctors?
But when Barry Marshall read the entire paper, the same idea as Robin Warren flashed through his mind. The paper in The Lancet was so similar to their draft that even the title was the same.
If this were an exam, the examiner would definitely treat it as cheating due to a duplicate paper.
But when Barry Marshall heard his colleagues' ridicule, he also felt that the matter was too unbelievable, because after all, the paper came from Red China, a country that was too mysterious and hardly communicated with people. So how did they plagiarize it?
"Robin, please calm down for a moment. We need to investigate thoroughly. First, check if there are any traitors around us."
Robin Warren, obviously in a more volatile mood, shouted:
"The draft of the paper has been in the lab safe, and we are the only two people who know the password. No, I have to go to China to find out who plagiarized our paper."
Barry Marshall was very surprised. Going to China?
"Yes, let's go to China. I want to see with my own eyes who the researcher is."
Robin Warren's expression was very serious and very determined...
The publication of the paper "Unidentified Campylobacter Found in the Stomachs of Patients with Gastritis and Peptic Ulcer" also caused an explosive sensation in China's health system.
This is a mainstream international medical journal, representing the attitude of the international mainstream medical community. That is, they recognize that China's research on Helicobacter pylori is correct, or at least feasible.
Wow, this is undoubtedly a shot of excitement for the majority of Chinese people who worship foreign things. This is the first time that a Chinese doctor has published a paper in an international mainstream medical journal since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Moreover, the content is unprecedented and a groundbreaking medical discovery.
If everyone was skeptical when the article was published in the Chinese Journal of Internal Medicine, now they are convinced of it. As a result, various congratulations and requests for visits have piled up on the desks of Zhijiang Provincial First Hospital and Yuezhou People's Hospital.
Even the Ministry of Health had sent a working group to Yuezhou, which left Chen Xia scratching his head. Why send a working group? Why make it so serious?
Dean Gu was holding the English version of The Lancet magazine and was grinning from ear to ear.
The old man actually only knew Russian and didn't understand English very well, but he could understand the author's name on the paper and the pinyin of the author's unit.
The first author is his relative, the second author is an employee of the institute, and the correspondence author is his son-in-law.
Dean Gu felt that his fame in this life did not lie in having three children or becoming the dean, but in his good eye for talent and choosing a good son-in-law.
The young man who was wearing old clothes and standing at the hospital door has finally become successful. The old man got excited and moved when he thought of him.
Xuan Yongda was already holding the magazine, unable to hold back his tears. Chen Xia decided to stay away from him, fearing he would suddenly explode and kneel on the ground and shout, "The Late Emperor~~~~~"
Uh, that’s not right. It seems like the story is mixed up.
The same scene also happened in the small conference room of the Provincial First Hospital.
Ma Jianlong, President of Zhijiang Medical University, Cao Liman, Director of the Provincial Health Department, Xiang Yanhong, President of the Provincial First Hospital, and many other top leaders in the health system gathered together to express their condolences to Comrade Chen Chun, a great contributor to the Provincial First Hospital.
Ma Jianlong is the school principal and a vice-ministerial cadre, so he stood in the center and tried his best to show a very amiable leadership image:
"Comrade Chen Chun, congratulations! You've brought honor to our country and our Zhijiang Medical University. Haha, tell me, which university in the country can produce students who can publish papers in The Lancet?"
"Yes, yes, Principal Ma is right. This is inseparable from your many years of education." Director Cao also made a joke at the right time.
As for Dean Xiang, he is the boss in the hospital, but he is the youngest in front of the other big guys, so naturally he has no right to speak.
In fact, he thought in his heart that the credit should belong to the Provincial First Hospital, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the Provincial First Hospital was an affiliated hospital of Zhijiang Medical University, so he couldn't be so arrogant and could only let others take away the credit.
Chen Chun was also very excited and said with a red face:
"This is not my personal achievement. It is my alma mater and the hospital that have nurtured me. My personal role is actually very small. It is all thanks to the help of all the leaders and colleagues that I can work and conduct research with peace of mind."
Look, what a beautiful statement this is. Chen Xia, this brainless guy, should really come here to learn from him.
Sure enough, all the leaders present were smiling happily. They were very satisfied with Chen Chun's statement of giving most of the credit to the collective, and they made up their minds.
Comrade Chen Chun should be trained and promoted as a priority.
