Chapter 121 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 121 ...
Then she can release the pre-sale information for the fifth-generation drug online, and no one will suspect her even if she has the drug.
That's all we can do now. Who told her not to reveal that she was one of the drug's developers?
In fact, the drug released by Chi Boyan did include some supplementary information, such as aiding in tooth regeneration and addressing skin barrier damage. However, it is clear that people did not take it seriously. But as long as it has this effect, why worry about the drug not selling?
At this moment, Lin Wei thought of her grandfather's teeth. Why not try it while he was still in Hanshao City? It would be quite troublesome to run back and forth if he went back later.
Because of this, she immediately called her uncle and told them not to go back yet, and transferred 100,000 yuan to them.
Uncle Lin asked worriedly, "Where did you get this money from?" He was afraid she had done something wrong. Accepting bribes was unacceptable. If she had money, she would have taken it out during the surgery instead of waiting until now.
Lin Wei reassured them, "Don't worry, I earned it myself, and I've kept some for myself. It's not ill-gotten gains." Because she performed the surgery herself, the hospital didn't charge her for the artificial pacemaker, medication, hospitalization, or surgery fees, so it only cost her around 50,000 yuan. She said she'd keep the remaining 40,000 yuan to buy supplements and maintain her health, and not to work anymore.
Grandpa Lin didn't really want to listen; he felt he was still capable and wasn't old yet.
However, Uncle Lin said to him, "If you collapse from exhaustion, you won't even earn enough to cover your hospital bills." In the end, he obediently listened to him.
He can't hold his youngest son back, and no one else can either; whoever does, he'll break their legs.
However, when Grandpa Lin heard that Lin Wei wanted to take him to get his teeth fixed, he was still surprised. "My teeth can still bite, so I don't need implants," he waved his hand. In the end, he was still worried about the money. These days, implants are very expensive, especially since he was missing many teeth. This surgery had already cost a lot of money, and he couldn't afford to spend any more.
However, when Lin Wei told him that she had done some research and needed people to conduct experiments, he immediately agreed. "What kind of experiment?"
Lin Wei said deliberately, "Grandpa, if you're not willing to do the tooth regeneration experiment, that's fine. I can just pay someone else to do it."
Grandpa Lin immediately became anxious, "Why spend money to hire someone? I can do it myself, no need to spend any more money." Hiring someone is such a waste. If she still can't find someone, he can ask the old folks in the village for help.
Which elderly person doesn't have missing teeth?
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Lin Wei immediately said, "Then it's settled, I'll come see you tomorrow." Tomorrow was her last night shift in the emergency department, and she would be free all day, so she could go see him.
Before that, she helped him register at Hanshao City Hospital. Compared to clinics and private dental clinics outside, she trusted hospitals more.
The next day, the Department of Stomatology at the First Hospital of Hanshao City received a patient with a strange request. Filling the alveolar bone with bone powder was one thing, since the elderly patient's alveolar bone had been almost completely absorbed. However, she requested that medication be added to the bone powder, which the doctor was genuinely hesitant to perform.
"First of all, the elderly person's alveolar bone has been almost completely absorbed, leaving only one or two millimeters. In this situation, even bone grafting may not be successful, and it won't be enough in one attempt; multiple attempts will be required. I don't recommend dental implants; I would much rather recommend dentures," the dentist said responsibly. As for the medication Lin Wei took, he was even more convinced that she had been scammed and bought an unregistered product.
Others draw venous blood for better absorption, but she was using some unknown brand of medicine, and wasn't afraid of any problems.
Sure enough, the old are confused, and so are the young.
Lin Wei never expected that the final step would be so difficult. Because of this, she specifically showed Chi Boyan the drug patent he had applied for, explained her identity, and even signed a liability waiver before finally getting the doctor to agree to the procedure.
However, Lin Wei could understand, and even thought he was right. What if everyone acted like her? This was only because he knew she knew the head of cardiac surgery and was also a doctor himself. If she were an outsider, she wouldn't even consider it.
Even so, he asked questions repeatedly and recorded the process while doing it.
One thing is one thing, but when it comes to implementation, we will still ask questions, such as whether this medicine really has the function of assisting tooth regeneration.
Which elderly relative doesn't have any dental problems? If it's truly effective, it's just a matter of filling with bone powder, a very simple process.
Lin Wei: "There is a probability. Some people are in better condition and can grow teeth after one use, while others are in poorer condition and need to use it multiple times." Putting everything else aside, Chi Boyan's speed is really fast. Generally speaking, clinical trials need to go through several phases before the drug can be marketed, but he actually got the drug out in such a short time. If he didn't take some shortcuts, it would be impossible.
Therefore, a 50/50 split is normal.
However, the dentist was still not convinced. After finishing the procedure, he glanced at the drug description on the website and wondered if it was really effective for tooth regeneration.
But how could that be? If it were really useful, wouldn't the dental implant market shrink? Who would prefer dentures, which require screws to be inserted into the bone, when they could have real teeth?
By this time, Lin Wei and the others had already left. After they left, they booked a room outside, and now all they could do was wait.
Uncle Lin was a little skeptical when he heard this. "Do you think that medicine might be fake?" How can a new tooth grow after just a few hours of application? And didn't she say it was researched by people abroad? Why did she lie to Grandpa and say it was her research?
Looking at that bloody mouth, if the old man hadn't firmly believed in her, Uncle Lin would have stopped her no matter what.
Otherwise, how could we say they are going in both directions?
Grandpa Lin had lost four teeth, and this time he actually had four bone grafts filled at once. Even though his mouth was full of stitches and there was a bloody smell, he was still all smiles.
Lin Wei affirmed, "Trust me." Whether the tooth will grow back or not isn't important; what matters is that the wound will heal in a few hours. She only needs to endure those few hours. She dared to let him do this not only because she trusted Chi Boyan's research, but also because she had conducted her own experiments. Otherwise, how could she dare to gamble with his safety?
And so, the group of people waited there silently.
A few hours later, Uncle Lin's eyes widened in surprise, "It really grew?"
Grandpa Lin exclaimed in surprise, "I feel like my mouth doesn't hurt anymore? It hurt a little for a moment just now, but it doesn't hurt now."
Lin Wei glanced at them; the tiny tips of the teeth were just emerging. Given time, they would all grow in. She was somewhat surprised to see this.
Uncle Lin then said, "Good niece, look how many of my teeth are decayed. Why don't you pull them out and put some medicine on them so that new ones can grow?" But Grandpa Lin immediately slapped him away, "Go away, go away. If they're decayed, then get them filled. We'll talk about it when you've really lost all your teeth. This medicine is very precious." Even he hadn't expected that Lin Wei would remember this little thing, after all, it was such an old story.
As for where the medicine came from, neither Uncle Lin nor Grandpa Lin ever asked. She told the dentist that it was a drug developed abroad, and told them that she developed it. It's obvious that it wasn't something that could be revealed casually.
A drug that can make teeth grow and wounds heal quickly is obviously miraculous. The two of them made up their minds and went back to tell their families that a third set of tooth buds had grown.
Since they didn't see anything, they get to say whatever they want, right?
This saved Lin Wei a lot of trouble. She was indeed a little worried that they would talk nonsense outside. Sure enough, having a reasonable relative meant she didn't have to worry about anything.
Of course, most importantly, the tooth he was missing was an inward-growing wisdom tooth, which most people wouldn't see.
In the end, it was Lin Wei who saw them off onto the plane. Only after seeing them off did she return to the emergency department in City A, where she worked from 1 a.m. to 8 a.m.
Sure enough, those who study medicine can never escape night shifts.
However, she still hadn't forgotten one thing, and just before leaving, she asked Director Li, "Why were you somewhat prejudiced against me back then?" She had never been able to figure out this question.
Director Li didn't expect her to ask so late, even though she was about to leave. Hearing this, she felt embarrassed but still told the truth, "I thought you were someone with connections. In medicine, there can be people with connections, but there can't be people without real skills."
At this moment, Lin Wei seemed to realize something. It turned out that some things were not her imagination. Perhaps the departments she worked in also had Wei Lao's influence.
Cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, emergency medicine, and the operating room she'll be working in next—they seem unrelated, but they're actually somewhat connected. She'll start by learning the difficult ones, then learn some procedures and first aid methods in the emergency department, and finally practice in the operating room. Can you imagine? She'll be spending three months in the next operating room.
However, Lin Wei truly misunderstood one thing: Elder Wei genuinely hadn't expected her to be able to achieve this level. He had anticipated that she might learn some of it, but he hadn't expected her to learn it all.
At least when he heard the old guy he had asked say to him every day that it was a waste for this student to be under his tutelage, he immediately glared at him and said, "Bullshit, she's better at biology. Studying clinical medicine is the real waste."
"If it weren't for her clinical studies and her talent, she would have been famous long ago."
He heard from his eldest apprentice that although she was currently doing clinical internships, she hadn't forgotten her biological knowledge and even planned to develop drugs to treat malignant tumors.
He truly deserves to be called his apprentice; he has ambition.
Lin Wei only came up with this idea after her grandfather's near-miss last time, and if she gives birth this time, she will naturally need to coordinate with the government.
Now she has a little idea. Conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy are essentially to inhibit the growth of tumor cells, but what she wants to do is to eliminate them without harming normal cells.
This means she needs to create a targeted drug that specifically targets tumor cells, ideally one that evades the human immune system to prevent its effectiveness from diminishing, and has a wide-ranging killing effect. This would also be effective against widely metastatic tumors.
In the simulation room, she has been very busy lately. Not only does she have to practice nerve suturing, but she also has to help Chi Boyan think of the potential agent he mentioned, and she has to research drugs for treating malignant tumors. She can't stop for a moment.
