The status of Wellington Hospital in the UK is similar to that of Union Hospital in China. It is quite high-end and classy, and therefore attracts a lot of attention.
England is a country where tabloids are particularly developed and media reporters are almost omnipresent.
Look, among these 20 patients, one is the editor-in-chief of the London Bridge News. As a media practitioner, his "sense of smell" is particularly sensitive.
Red Chinese doctors, Wellington Hospital, International Society of Gastroenterology, quadruple therapy, cure for stomach problems.
For professional players like them, these few words added together mean that they have something eye-catching. With a few writes and scribbles, an article of several thousand words is ready.
After the editor-in-chief was discharged successfully as one of the first patients and the medical record indicated "cured" instead of "improved" as before, he took action immediately, fearing that someone else would snatch the news away if he was too late.
The next day, the London Bridge Times had an exaggerated headline on its front page: "Surprise! This is a miraculous cure from Red China!"
Well, this is the typical style of tabloids. It is certainly not the Zhiyin style, nor the news broadcast style, but the typical style that relies on exaggeration to attract people's attention.
The newspaper reported that four doctors from China were conducting a new medical clinical experiment at Wellington Hospital, the best medical hospital in the UK, claiming that it could completely cure stomach problems, which was a major medical breakthrough.
What kind of new medicines and research have these doctors from the mysterious Red China invented? What makes their treatments so unique? Are their so-called cures truly reliable?
Then he started blabbering on with a bunch of his own speculations.
In this era, there was no Internet, mobile phones or computers. Citizens mainly obtained information from television, radio and newspapers. Among them, newspapers firmly occupied the top position in the media in the 1980s.
So when hundreds of thousands of residents in England saw the newspaper that morning, they were all surprised. After all, ordinary people had been troubled by stomach problems for many years, so everyone read it carefully.
Can stomachache and gastritis be cured?
If Chinese doctors are already mysterious enough, then the credibility of Wellington Hospital and the International Society of Gastroenterology's conference schedule will greatly increase the credibility of this press release.
In the media, news like dog-eat-dog can be printed for three consecutive days, so this revolutionary medical news will naturally start to attract attention.
So that afternoon, reporters from radio stations and newspapers across England flocked to Wellington Hospital.
In order to obtain first-hand information, some clever reporters pretended to be patients' family members and sneaked into the wards early on to interview patients undergoing treatment.
The patients were also eager for chaos, and being in the hospital was just too boring, so they could chat with a group of reporters.
"Hey, let me tell you, Dr. Huaguo is amazing! My chronic stomach ailment was cured in just one day. The doctor said it can be completely cured within two weeks. I'm so excited now."
"What newspaper are you from? Oh, The Sun. A gossip paper like yours is interested in medical treatment? Effects? Should you give me a tip for interviewing me?"
"That beautiful Chinese doctor is so charming. She has a magical power. Every time I see her, my stomachache gets less severe. I wonder if she's a witch?"
“…”
The influx of so many reporters made Professor Gregory a little confused.
As a doctor, he has always stayed away from the media and lacked the corresponding crisis public relations awareness, so he did not stop the reporters at the first time, causing the gastroenterology ward to instantly turn into a vegetable market.
When Chen Chun, Chen Xia and others appeared in the corridor, their yellow race features were particularly obvious among the group of white people, especially since these yellow race people were wearing white coats, so they were immediately surrounded by reporters.
"Excuse me, are you doctors from China?"
"Are you collaborating with Wellington Hospital on a new treatment program?"
"Excuse me, are you an Eastern wizard? Can stomach problems really be cured?"
"Excuse me……"
Where had Chen Chun, Zheng Haisheng, and Xuan Yongda ever seen such a scene? They were all blinded by the flashbulbs, and panicked, at a loss for what to do, afraid that one wrong word would tarnish China's image.
But Chen Xia wasn't afraid. Before his rebirth, China was also in an era of information explosion. What kind of situation could not be seen in traditional media? Didn't you see how many reporters came to Chen Guanxi's press conference?
"Sir, if you could just take the microphone away from my mouth, I'd like to answer a few questions."
In the midst of the shoving, Chen Xia tried hard to maintain his balance while holding his elder sister firmly in place. He would occasionally pull the microphone away from his lips and then answer loudly:
"Yes, we in China have created a brand new treatment plan. We call it quadruple therapy. It uses a combination of four drugs to completely kill Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, protect the gastric mucosa, and inhibit gastric acid secretion. This can effectively cure common stomach problems such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease."
One reporter was unconvinced and quickly asked, "Sir, sir, are you saying that these four drugs were invented by China? Do you have patents?"
Chen Xia smiled and said, "It should be said that three of these drugs were invented by us. We do have patents, of course, but they are in the hands of Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company. This is because drug research and development, including this new treatment plan, was commissioned by Xiangjiang Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company."
"Pumpkin vine? What a weird name! Why not just call it dwarf pumpkin?" This was the inner monologue of all the reporters present.
Of course Chen Xia would not miss this kind of media publicity, especially since Hong Kong was still a colony of England at that time. The Hong Kong Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company was similar to their own pharmaceutical company, and they believed they would also be happy to hype the news of their own "country".
"Doctor, how effective is your quadruple therapy this time?"
"Excellent, very good. It's the best treatment I've ever seen. The cure rate is now 80% to 85%. Of course, this is the data we obtained in China. We don't have data yet for our beautiful and great England."
Nonsense! Chen Xia certainly didn't dare to say too much. The experiment was still in progress. If he announced the results, it would not be convincing. So he cleverly said that they were clinical data from China.
When the reporters saw this, they found that this Chinese doctor was very easy to deal with. Unlike those Chinese diplomats, who had stern faces the whole time, either reading from a script or saying nothing, this Chinese doctor was not the one who could talk freely.
So everyone's favorability suddenly skyrocketed.
"Sir, your country is so poor, do you have the opportunity to go to school? Does your country have any universities?"
This question was not friendly. Even Chen Chun and Zheng Haisheng frowned. Xuan Yongda could not understand English and was confused throughout the whole process.
If you don’t answer it well, this will be a fatal question.
