Chapter 311: Ru Kiln Brush Washer Chicken Cup
After the opening ceremony, the noisy crowd left, and the Tuberculosis Department once again became a quiet courtyard at the foot of Baihu Mountain.
It was only at this time that patients Ma Lianliang and Zhao Yanxia began to receive treatment.
Lin Sanqi took out a pill from the tray and handed them to the two famous actors in front of him.
Ma Lianliang picked up the pill and looked at it, then asked with a smile:
"Doctor Kobayashi, this is what you were talking about, what pill?"
Zhao Yanxia was young and had a good memory. She reminded him, "It's called Ethylamine Pyrazine Rifampicin Pills."
Ma Lianliang repeated it again and again, but still shook his head: "This name is too complicated, I can't remember it."
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "If you can't remember it, then forget it. Anyway, you are only taking this medicine temporarily. After half a year, when your tuberculosis is cured, you won't have to remember the name of this medicine for the rest of your life."
Ma Lianliang was a little anxious and asked:
"Doctor Kobayashi, can we really cure it within six months? Can I perform on stage again?"
Lin Sanqi also sat down. Since there were only a few patients at the moment, he was not busy, so he sat down to chat and calm the patients.
There is a famous saying in the medical field: always comforting, often helping, and occasionally curing.
That is to say, once in the hospital, in addition to clinical treatment, psychological comfort and psychotherapy are equally important for patients.
After all, in medical practice, cure is something doctors can sometimes do, but more often, doctors relieve patients' pain through help and comfort.
"Teacher Ma, Teacher Zhao, the treatment cycle for my tuberculosis is generally divided into two phases. The intensive phase is generally 2 to 3 months, and the consolidation phase is generally 4 to 6 months. The types and dosages of drugs in these two phases are different.
Based on the X-rays and blood test results, I believe Mr. Zhao's condition isn't serious. If we're optimistic, he should be fully recovered within six months."
When Zhao Yanxia heard this, her eyes sparkled. The eyes of drama actors are all very beautiful, and this sparkle almost blinded Lin Sanqi.
"But Mr. Ma, your case is a bit troublesome. Your illness has been long and severe, and your body is in a state of physical depletion, so it's quite serious. Plus, you've used a lot of domestic and foreign medications over the past five or six years, so I'm worried about drug resistance."
It is said that in 1960, the Chinese people had not used antibiotics or other Western medicine, and were as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
But for a famous actor like Ma Lianliang who earns more than 1,000 yuan a month and is a person who is given key care by the country, in fact, a lot of antibiotics available in the world have already been used.
If the condition is severe, the treatment course may need to be extended to 9-12 months.
The total treatment course for mono-drug-resistant and multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis also takes 9-18 months. If it is the most serious multi-drug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, it will take more than 24 months of treatment.
Moreover, this type of patient cannot be cured by the quadruple therapy of isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol, and needs better drugs.
For example, contezolid, baclofenac, bedaquiline, linezolid, meropenem, imipenem, etc.
These drugs are expensive. Even in 2013, the monthly cost of drugs alone was at least 8,000 to 9,000 yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan. Most of them were paid out of pocket, which brought a heavy financial burden to patients.
Lin Sanqi has been used as medicine since 2013 and has been used to treat people since 1960.
If it is just isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide, ethambutol, streptomycin, or a four-in-one drug, these drugs are very cheap, and the government even gives them to patients for free.
Lin Sanqi can afford it.
But if there are more multidrug-resistant patients like Ma Lianliang, the medication alone for one patient will cost about 100,000 yuan a year. What if there are a thousand or ten thousand similar patients in the future?
Wouldn’t that mean Lin Sanqi is going bankrupt?
After all, if you were treated in a regular hospital in 1960, the hospitalization fees and medicine costs could not be too outrageous. Generally, they were just a few dollars a month. At most, you could charge him 100 yuan.
The key point is that the money is controlled by the hospital, so what is Lin Sanqi trying to do?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi has made up his mind that in the future he must sell the tuberculosis drug business and give the drug formula and patent to the government for free, letting them worry about it.
Lin Sanqi was thinking about his own things.
Ma Lianliang was also thinking about his own thoughts.
He had been suffering from tuberculosis for several years and had seen both Chinese and Western doctors, even going to Hong Kong for treatment, but nothing could be done.
Ma Lianliang knew that tuberculosis was a disease that would kill nine out of ten people. It was just a matter of delaying the disease for a few years, but death would come sooner or later, and it was impossible to live to be a hundred years.
Everyone is afraid of death, especially a famous person like him who has enjoyed the glory of life and has good financial conditions. No one wants to die.
So when Ma Lianliang accidentally heard that Professor Pan from a university in the capital had been cured of tuberculosis, he made inquiries from many sources and finally found out about Lin Sanqi.
In fact, Ma Lianliang was very disappointed when he saw Lin Sanqi for the first time. If you said that Lin Sophora flavescens was a miracle doctor, he would believe it about 70%.
But in the traditional Chinese medicine circle where youth is considered a sin, Lin Sanqi, who is in his 20s, is too insecure.
But Ma Lianliang finally trusted Lin Sanqi, and he was determined to give it a try. If he didn't try, he would surely die, and if he tried, there was still hope of survival.
I have to say that Lin Sanqi's previous treatment of his future father-in-law was definitely a stroke of genius.
At this time, there were only four people left in the room: Lin Sanqi, Pan Ye, Ma Lianliang and Zhao Yanxia. Ma Lianliang looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he took out a small wooden box from under the bed and put it on the table.
Then open the lid to reveal a small bowl inside.
Lin Sanqi knew it was time for the patients to give him red envelopes, but if he was going to give anything, he should give gold bars instead of a broken bowl. He still had plenty of them in his "channel space".
"Doctor Kobayashi, this is a small gift from me. I bought this Ming Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup when I was performing in Hong Kong in 1946. I spent 1,000 Hong Kong dollars on it. When I brought it back to China, everyone said I had found a bargain. But now, this antique is not worth much, haha. Doctor Kobayashi, just treat it as a souvenir and play with it."
(A real leak, but the prototype is Mr. Qiu Yanzhi)
If you mention other Lin Sanqi, you may not know him, but if you mention the Chicken-Glazed Cup, it is a household name.
Lin Sanqi sat up straight at once, staring intently at the small bowl in the wooden box, and asked excitedly:
"Is this the Chicken Cup? From the Chenghua era? Can I take a look at it?"
Ma Lianliang smiled and said, "This is originally a gift from me, so you can use it naturally."
Lin Sanqi picked up the small bowl excitedly, and then looked at it from left to right. The more he looked, the happier he became, although he couldn't see what was so good about the bowl. In his hand, it was just an ordinary small bowl for drinking.
But he knew that this bowl was valuable, 280 million yuan. This was not just a bowl, it was clearly three small goals.
The more Lin Sanqi looked at her, the more he liked her and the more his heart was moved. He was not a saint, so he naturally had his own little thoughts. This was no longer the time to be polite.
What if I say that the gift is too precious and I can't accept it, and then Ma Lianliang really takes it back, then wouldn't Lin Sanqi cry to death?
What's more, in the era before capital speculation, this chicken-glazed cup was indeed not too precious. Didn't Ma Lianliang say that he bought it for 1,000 yuan?
Taking into account the special period of 1960, antiques and curios were priced very low and were even less valuable.
Lin Sanqi thought, this wasn't really a "cheat," right? It was just an equal exchange, and it wasn't like he hadn't paid anything.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi carefully placed the Chicken Cup back into the wooden box, then closed the lid and quietly brought the wooden box to his side.
"Okay, Mr. Ma, I really like this chicken-glazed cup. In this way, I will cover all the expenses for your tuberculosis examination and treatment. Don't worry, I will definitely use the best medicine to help you cure this tuberculosis."
Ma Lianliang was waiting for these words, and the smile on his face became even wider:
"Okay, okay. I'll leave it to Dr. Lin then."
When Zhao Yanxia heard this, she quickly ran to the next ward and came back with a box in her hand.
"Doctor Lin, come and take a look. This is a gift from me to you. Please don't despise it."
After saying that, Zhao Yanxia opened the lid in a hurry, peeled off several layers of cotton cloth, and revealed a sky-blue plate inside.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye didn't know what was going on, but Ma Lianliang was experienced and saw it right away:
"Wow, this is a Ru kiln celadon glaze sunflower washbasin, what a great thing."
When Lin Sanqi heard it was Ru kiln, his eyes widened again, because there is a sentence in antique novels:
Even if you have a fortune of millions, it is not as good as a piece of Ru porcelain.
This shows the preciousness of Ru kiln and also suggests how high the value of Ru kiln is. In short, it is just a pile of RMB.
Zhao Yanxia felt relieved when Ma Lianliang pointed out the preciousness of the bowl. She was worried that the young doctor would not know its value.
"This sunflower wash basin was given to my father by Empress Dowager Longyu. It came as a pair, but my father later sold one to a foreigner, leaving only this one. Doctor Lin, please don't dislike it."
Lin Sanqi was holding the Ru kiln plate and was as happy as a fool.
He had come across people selling makeup kilns on the black market before, but they were all fake. Now Zhao Yanxia took out this plate. It was a reward from the palace, or it was passed down in the family. How could it be fake?
If it is the real thing, then this Ru kiln plate alone is worth 200 million yuan.
If that’s not a treasure, what is?
Regardless of whether it is a pair or just one, Lin Sanqi knows that there are only 77 pieces of Ru kiln in the world, and now he has one in his hand, which is a treasure.
Although the value of the Chicken Cup was higher than that of the Ru Kiln Celadon Glaze Sunflower Wash in 2013, in the special period of 1960, the value of the Ru Kiln Celadon Glaze Sunflower Wash was higher than that of the Chenghua Chicken Cup.
This shows that Zhao Yanxia is indeed a decisive woman. In any case, Lin Sanqi thought that Ma Lianliang must have better antiques hidden in his home.
In fact, Zhao Yanxia also has a scale in her heart. She is only 32 years old this year, which is the peak period of her artistic career. If she retires from the Peking Opera stage early because of tuberculosis, she will never be willing to do so.
So after much consideration, he took out the most valuable Ru kiln plate in his home as a gift.
Exchanging a Ru kiln plate for her life was not a difficult choice, and her parents and husband also supported her in doing so.
Lin Sanqi carefully placed the Ru kiln sky blue glaze sunflower washbasin into the box again, and then carefully and quietly took it into his arms, then said with a smile:
"Then Mr. Zhao, I won't be polite. I really like this Ru kiln. Anyway, don't worry, I will take care of your illness. If I can't cure you, I will return these two antiques in full."
Ma Lianliang and Zhao Yanxia quickly stood up and bowed slightly to Lin Sanqi:
"Then we'll have to trouble Doctor Lin."
Coming out of the ward, Pan Ye looked at her boyfriend, who was smiling like a little fox, and felt a little dissatisfied:
"Sanqi, we doctors are supposed to treat patients and save lives. How can you accept gifts?"
Lin Sanqi thought that this girl was really pure. If a doctor doesn’t accept gifts or red envelopes, can he still be called a doctor?
"Xiao Yezi, you don't understand the patients' mentality. If I don't accept the gift, they will be worried and think I'm bragging about being able to cure tuberculosis. So I accept this gift so that they can feel at ease with their treatment and have the confidence to cooperate.
Besides, I didn't take it for free. I covered all their medical expenses and checkups until they recovered. Think about it, I took two pots of rice and gave them two lives. Do you think they gained or lost?"
Pan Ye blinked his big eyes, which were filled with clear stupidity:
"Life is priceless. With what you said, they really made a profit."
"Right, so this is called an equal exchange, not a doctor accepting a red envelope."
"Then if we sell these two bowls and plates on the black market, how much food can we get in exchange?"
"Food? Let me think about it. If you go to the black market, you'd probably be lucky to get 100 kilograms of rice. But if I were to do it, I could probably get at least 50,000 to 60,000 tons of food."
Pan Ye suddenly covered his mouth and said, "Oh my god, it's so valuable, why don't you return it to the patient?"
Lin Sanqi thought he had let something slip, so he quickly made amends:
"Haha, I'm just kidding. It's just a plate. You can only exchange it for a few hundred kilograms of fine grains at best. It's not an imperial seal or an authentic work of Wang Xizhi."
Pan Ye agreed when she heard it. After all, she used to go to the black market frequently and knew that no matter how valuable something was, it was not worth hundreds of kilograms of rice.
"That's good, I was scared to death..."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, I was so scared that I almost destroyed my glorious image in the little girl's heart.
Back in the office, Pan Ye led other college students and apprentices to continue learning about tuberculosis, or learning how to operate X-ray machines and blood testing machines.
Lin Sanqi closed the door, placed the four-in-one medicine "Ethylamine, Pyrazine, and Rifampicin Tablets" one by one on the oil paper, and took out a whole box of jujube paste.
Then, just like making glutinous rice balls, get a small piece of date paste and roll it into small cakes. Then wrap the tablets inside and roll them into balls with your hands.
In this way, a pill of Lin family's secret medicine "Ethylamine Pyrazine Rifampicin Pill" is ready.
In one afternoon, Lin Sanqi prepared 100 pills and put them all in the medicine box.
The treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis is actually quite simple. Generally, first-line anti-tuberculosis drugs are used, such as quadruple therapy, and then attention is paid to whether there is damage to liver and kidney function or other side effects during the medication process.
If there is liver or kidney damage, you generally cannot stop taking the medicine. Just use some liver-protecting medicine. This is something that an old Chinese medicine expert knows.
Then you need to pay attention to which drug in the quadruple drug combination is resistant, or whether there are multiple drug resistances. At this time, you need to adjust the drug dosage and type, such as using the second-line drug, and the course of treatment must be extended.
The vast majority of patients can recover from tuberculosis after several courses of treatment.
Therefore, the treatment of tuberculosis can be simply summarized as: early, combined, appropriate, regular, and full course.
If it was 2013, most tuberculosis patients would not need to be hospitalized unless their test indicators were very bad. They could just get some medicine prescribed in the outpatient clinic and take it orally on time.
But such a seemingly simple infectious disease was the number one killer among diseases in 1960, which is very scary.
The next day, Director Liu of the Digital Hospital rushed to the Ming Tombs with his engineers, and truckloads of construction materials were also transported there.
As soon as Liu Shengli jumped off the truck, he started yelling:
"Hurry up, tell me where this house is built. We have to hurry."
Then Liu Shengli looked at the cornfield in front of the tuberculosis department and seemed to be thinking:
"That's not right. Why is your corn growing so well? The stalks are so thick, and the leaves are so green. Does your Chinese medicine hospital have better feng shui? How come the crops are so good?"
When Dean Shen heard outsiders praising the good crops of the Chinese Medicine Hospital, he was naturally very happy:
"Haha, Lao Liu, what do you think? Our Chinese medicine hospital is not only good at medicine, but also has first-class farming skills. Look at how the corn is growing. I tell you, one acre of land can yield at least 2,000 kilograms."
Liu Shengli was a little puzzled. He squatted down and kneaded a handful of mud, and his doubts grew even stronger:
"The quality of your soil is not good either. What happened?"
It was just at this time that water was released for irrigation. As soon as the water was released from the pool in the middle, water began to flow out of the dense canals around it. The farm workers began to use dung shovels to water the corn, wheat and vegetables.
This scene made Liu Shengli stunned again:
"That's not right, Old Shen. Where does your water come from? Farmers in other places carry water on their shoulders, but how come your water just flows here on its own? I don't see any springs on the mountain."
If it were someone else, Dean Shen would still be uneasy, but Liu Shengli came from the army and was tight-lipped, so Dean Shen started to show off.
"You don't know this, do you? Look, what is that green building in the middle of our cornfield?"
Liu Shengli took a look and indeed could vaguely see a low green building not far away, so he walked over curiously.
Dean Shen boasted as he walked:
"Do you know what that is? It's a spring. To prevent others from prying, we painted it green and planted some trees next to it to cover it up."
Liu Shengli quickened his pace and walked over to take a look. Sure enough, there was a huge pool in the middle of the cornfield, and fresh water was constantly gushing out from the middle of the pool.
"Oh my God, there really is a spring. This is living water. How lucky are you, the Chinese Medicine Hospital, to have found a spring?"
Liu Shengli's eyes turned red as he looked at the gurgling spring water in front of him. With water, the crops would not die of thirst and there would be a harvest.
With harvest, we have food, and people will not starve to death.
Dean Shen certainly wouldn't say that this was the well dug by Lin Sanqi, so he boasted:
"Of course it's because I have good taste. I fell in love with this piece of land at first sight. I wanted the wasteland that others didn't want. Now there are mountains and water, people and crops. In a few months we will have a harvest. Life is beautiful."
Liu Shengli sighed:
"It would be a shame to build a tuberculosis ward on such a good feng shui site."
Dean Shen had already made a plan and pointed to the hillside behind him and said:
"Please don't destroy my crops. The thousand acres of mountain land behind us also belongs to our Chinese medicine hospital. If you want to build a ward, build it on the mountain. This will not occupy arable land and can also develop the mountain forest."
The mountain to the north of the Chinese Medicine Hospital is called Jinping Mountain. It is relatively flat, with Qinglong Mountain and Baihu Mountain on both sides.
Liu Shengli nodded. "It's not impossible to build on the mountain, but it will cost more building materials because we need to lay the foundation. Otherwise, why don't you provide some building materials yourself, Chinese medicine hospital?"
Lin Sanqi had just arrived at this time and laughed when he heard about the expansion plan:
"Director Liu, it just so happens that our Chinese medicine hospital has a large excavator. When the time comes, we can dig out a flat area on the hillside first, and then we can lay the foundation and build the house. It will be much faster."
Liu Shengli was shocked again when he heard this:
"How did your Chinese medicine hospital make so much money that it has all these things? Okay, with this stuff, the project will be much faster. Let's get started right away."
What Lin Sanqi didn't know was that after the tuberculosis ward was built, the excavator was also taken away by the engineers...
