Chen Chun was obviously in a very good mood, which made Chen Xia feel relieved.
"Of course. When I have something good, the first person I think of is you, sister. And Helicobacter pylori and omeprazole are the first step. I know you've been brooding over Mom's liver disease. Don't worry, I have some clues about research and medication in this area. When the time comes, I will definitely provide you with all the information so that you can fulfill your wish and avenge Mom."
When Chen Chun heard this, his heart darkened for a moment, then he suddenly stood up and said firmly:
"Then why are you still standing there? Go and get ready. I'll talk to our director when I get to work this afternoon. If he doesn't agree, I'll join the research group in my personal capacity."
Chen Xia was a little confused, "How could your hospital not agree to such a good thing?"
Chen Chun rolled his eyes at his brother. "I think there's a high chance he won't agree. People these days are so rigid-minded. If a project ever comes up, it won't be my turn to apply. But it's okay. We still have Yuezhou People's Hospital."
Chen Xia nodded. "It doesn't matter whether your hospital agrees or not. I'm bringing them along for your sake. If it really doesn't work out, I can transfer you and your brother-in-law to Yuezhou People's Hospital. That way it will be more convenient."
Chen Xia felt a little guilty when he said this, because he was already changing Chen Chun's fate. He didn't know whether it was good or bad for her. It would be fun if he accidentally lost her academician title.
The study of Helicobacter pylori already has a complete set of data and the experience of later generations. It is almost as simple as copying homework.
Researchers only need to replicate a few experiments to confirm the existence of bacteria, and that it has a direct relationship with damage to the gastric mucosa and a causal relationship with various stomach diseases.
As long as the research results are published and even the treatment plan is studied, this systematic, scientific, and theoretical paper will definitely cause a sensation.
Of course, Chen Xia would not give away such a great achievement for free. He must take care of his elder sister.
Even though it would be difficult for him to compete for the Nobel Prize because he is Chinese, it would at least allow Chen Chun to become famous in the domestic medical circle.
Besides, experiments, paper publications, and winning awards all just cost money.
When the time comes, we will learn from Harvey Weinstein and use money to attack Hollywood. The best actor and actress titles will be no big deal. Is there anything in this world that can't be solved with money?
The judges also need to make a living, and everyone has their own greed. The mainstream medical circles in Europe and the United States are definitely not as pure and flawless as everyone sees on the surface.
Adult things are never easy.
Although Chen Xia is not rich, he can still get hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars as public relations fees. It's just a matter of selling a few more jade bracelets, what's the big deal?
Chen Chun was also very cooperative. After work in the afternoon, he directly expressed his desire to apply for a research project to the director of the Department of Gastroenterology at the Provincial First Hospital.
The director of the Department of Gastroenterology is Qian Tanglai, who is in his 50s. The few strands of his hair are always blowing in the wind. At his age, he has almost lost his ambition.
So when Director Qian heard that Chen Chun was going to apply for a research group and would also accept sponsorship from Hong Kong, he subconsciously refused.
"Chen Chun, you want to apply for a research project? What kind of research project is it?"
"Director, it's about Helicobacter pylori. If the hospital can approve the project, the cost shouldn't be a problem. There's a pharmaceutical company in Hong Kong willing to sponsor it."
When Director Qian heard this, he was shocked.
"Sponsorship from Hong Kong? This is unprecedented in our hospital. I don't think it's possible. Besides, what is Helicobacter pylori? I haven't even heard of it. Have any of you heard of it?"
The other doctors in the office shook their heads and looked at Chen Chun with complicated expressions.
Chen Chun was a bit impatient to begin with, and when he saw that the director and his colleagues didn't understand or support him, he quickly said:
"Director, Helicobacter pylori has been studied abroad. I've read some information. Let me explain. The main point is..."
Director Qian waved his hand, interrupting Chen Chun's explanation, and his attitude became a little impatient.
"Comrade Chen Chun, it's too early for you to apply for a research project. You're just a young doctor who's just started working. You haven't even figured out clinical medicine, but you want to do basic research. That's a bit too ambitious."
There was only one doctor's office in the inpatient department of the Provincial First Hospital, so when many doctors heard that Chen Chun was going to apply for a research project, they pricked up their ears.
The hospital's annual funding is limited, so whoever applies for a research project becomes the focus of everyone's attention. The cake is so small, and if you take away a piece, it means others will have one less piece.
Research projects can not only earn some money privately, but also have an impact on future professional title promotion and job advancement. These are all real interests involved, so other doctors definitely do not want to see it happen.
Intellectuals have had a bad habit since ancient times: "literati look down on each other." Now, when they heard the director directly criticize Chen Chun, everyone felt a little gloating.
Chen Chun obviously didn't want to give up. This was a task assigned by his younger brother, and as a "brother-supporting demon", he would definitely strive for it.
"Director, the Hong Kong side said they will cover the research costs and even provide two state-of-the-art gastroscopes. The requirement is that our Provincial First Hospital and Yuezhou People's Hospital conduct the research together. This is great news."
Director Qian lowered his eyes, drank a sip of water, and said slowly:
"Xiao Chen, you're still too young. What kind of place is Hong Kong? How could they be so kind as to give us the machine for free? They must be planning to steal something valuable. Can you bear the responsibility if that happens?"
Chen Chun was speechless. Should he tell him that this was paid for by his younger brother?
Besides, what else could we steal now that we were so poor? Could we steal the few magnolias in the garden of the provincial government?
What Director Qian was really upset about was that a junior doctor like you could apply for this kind of international collaborative research project? Who wouldn't want Hong Kong's money? Why didn't you ask me, Director?
Now I, the director, can't even get a chance, and you, a young kid, want to get ahead? What are you thinking?
You must not agree.
This was just the old man's naked jealousy, but his reason was so plausible that Chen Chun had nothing to say.
Chen Chun was helpless after hearing this, because this research topic must be reported to the hospital by the department to be successful. Without the support and permission of the department director, everything would be in vain.
But Chen Chun was a man who refused to admit defeat. Just because you, a director, said no, you couldn't do it? At worst, he could just go and work at Yuezhou People's Hospital.
"Then Director, if I join the research group in my personal capacity, is that allowed?"
Director Qian was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Chen Chun's stubbornness, and felt a little unhappy.
