Chapter 138 The Nanny's Niece's Counterattack 138...
Besides Lin Wei, whose name became famous, another person's name also became famous: Gao Fuya. Gao Fuya had told her to write a medical paper, so that she could see what it would feel like to have her name appear in the medical field, but she hadn't asked her to put her name on such an important paper.
When Gao Fuya heard from classmates and friends that the second author's name was exactly the same as hers, she was too embarrassed to say that it was her.
However, Zhang Mo, Fang Yihuai, Qin Siyu, and others all knew that the latter had even joked, "What's it like to be a celebrity?"
"I have to say, Lin Wei is really kind to you. She even gave you a second authorship on such an important paper," Qin Siyu said with a hint of admiration.
Gao Fuya regretted it then. "What a pity, I'm not a medical student, so it's useless to me. Otherwise, this article alone would have been enough for me to brag about for a long time." Now, she didn't even dare to mention it, afraid of being embarrassed. Otherwise, how could she explain that an English student like her had participated in a clinical trial of an anti-tumor drug? She could only say that she wasn't capable enough. Even if a pie fell from the sky, she wouldn't be able to catch it.
Lin Wei had been busy with the tumor drug trial center and her thesis these past few days. Now that she finally finished, she could stop and rest for a while, but she felt a little lost about what to do next. After working at the A University affiliated hospital for three years, should she find another hospital to continue working there?
There's a saying that's true: whether she was studying clinical medicine or biology, she approached it with a sense of accomplishment. Now that she's learned it, she doesn't know what to do with herself.
Seeing that cancer drugs are on the right track and are gradually being distributed in the three pilot hospitals, she now wants to return to surgery and upgrade other surgeries to S-level.
Even now, she only has three surgeries rated S: nerve suturing, vascular suturing, and coronary artery bypass grafting. All the others are rated A+. Actually, A+ is enough for regular surgeries, but now that Lin Wei has some free time, she still gets a little itchy to try her hand at it when she sees the highest record displayed in the simulation room.
So during this period, apart from working at the A University Affiliated Hospital, she spent the rest of her time in the simulation room grinding for points. Watching those surgical records go from A+ to S was incredibly satisfying.
However, there are a few surgeries she can't perform. For example, the head transplant surgery she previously performed with Director Chen Yongyuan and Director Zheng is not something one person can do alone; it requires the collaboration of multiple people, and even then, success is not guaranteed. Besides, pancreaticoduodenectomy is also very difficult to perform; the five-year survival rate after surgery is only between 60% and 70%, which is already very low, both for Lin Wei herself and for her patients.
Having just become famous and being highly praised, the person who outwardly remained calm but inwardly felt quite pleased quickly returned to normal upon seeing this scene.
"Honestly, can't you just let people be happy for a little while longer?" Lin Wei complained. Although she was used to getting a little cocky, something would always happen in reality or the simulation room to nip those thoughts in the bud, but she still felt like she'd been doused with cold water, a chilling feeling that went straight to her heart.
However, one thing is one thing, and she resigned herself to practicing pancreaticoduodenectomy. Her life expectancy was already very short, so if possible, she would certainly hope that her patients could live a long and healthy life.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Chi Boyan looked at the person introduced to him for surgery, his eyes turning slightly cold. "Is this how you hire people? I've seen it all." He glanced at his bodyguard, who had a gun pointed at his temple, and then at the white-haired middle-aged man sitting in front of him.
Is this an invitation or a threat?
Doyle Saxon looked at him and laughed, "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." He waved his hand, dismissing the bodyguards, and scolded them, "How could you be so disrespectful to Dr. Chi?" He took the principle of "force before courtesy" to the extreme.
If he didn't agree to the surgery or the surgery failed, the gun wouldn't just be pointed at his head, but through his temple. Doyle-Saxon understood this, and so did Chi Boyan.
Country M is great in every way, except for its guns and ammunition. Chi Boyan has already decided to hire some bodyguards after this incident, as the feeling of having someone point a finger at his head is truly awful.
However, when he saw the patient who wanted to treat himself, he frowned. He hadn't expected the patient to be in a vegetative state. Currently, the medical community has no way to treat vegetative patients; the only option is to help them awaken on their own, which could take five years, ten years, or even a lifetime. Furthermore, many people cannot afford the financial burden of daily nutrition, so they are often cared for at home, and due to various complications, they ultimately don't live long.
However, it's obvious that this situation won't happen to the person in front of you.
Doyle Saxon: "She's my daughter, Eleanor. She was in a vegetative state two years ago after a car accident. If you can wake her up, I can give you this amount." He was referring to two hundred million. And if he couldn't, then naturally he had no reason to exist.
Upon seeing this, Chi Boyan calmly replied, "To be honest, even if you killed me, I couldn't perform surgery on her right now. However, I can go back and do some research." He hadn't yet researched how to revive a person in a vegetative state.
Doyle Saxon looked him straight in the eye. "How much time do you need?" He couldn't wait any longer.
However, Chi Boyan was not afraid at all. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I can say with certainty that if there is anyone in the world who can wake your daughter up, besides me, there is only one other person. There will be no one else."
"I can't guarantee the time; it all depends on whether you're willing to wait. It could be a few months at the shortest, or a year or two at the longest. You don't want your daughter to be the first guinea pig, do you?" This statement was quite audacious.
Doyle-Saxon had to admire his courage; it was the first time he'd ever seen anyone dare speak to him like that. "I'll only give you one year. In this year, I'll find some vegetative state patients to treat you. If you can't wake my daughter up after a year, I'll shoot you dead." With that, he left his contact information and left.
Without a doubt, during this year, he will not only not kill him, but will also find ways to protect him.
Although Chi Boyan disliked this opening, he was quite pleased with the two hundred million yuan and the connections. To prevent himself from being unable to find a way to wake his daughter up a year later, he went directly to Lin Wei and asked, "Are you interested in waking up a person in a vegetative state? Someone has offered two hundred million yuan to wake up his daughter." He didn't mention a word about being threatened.
Doyle-Saxon didn't ask who the other person was. With someone he could have already obtained, why would he look for someone out of reach? Besides, he didn't believe Chi Boyan would tell him the truth.
Lin Wei exclaimed in surprise, "Two hundred million? Who's being so generous?" Wasn't this forcing her to accept? Who wouldn't be tempted by two hundred million?
Chi Boyan: "He's a wealthy businessman from Country Y who lives in Country M, with a net worth of tens of billions." Two hundred million is indeed nothing to him. If she doesn't want to accept, Chi Boyan won't force her; he just feels that including her would provide some insurance for the matter.
Lin Wei agreed almost without thinking, "Okay, but I won't go abroad. If the research is successful, you can handle the follow-up matters." He couldn't possibly have spent so much time studying in the US and become a wasted talent, could he?
Chi Boyan agreed without much thought, "Okay." He hadn't really wanted her to come abroad anyway; it was too chaotic. China was safer and more suitable for her. But the thought of her being held at gunpoint one day made Chi Boyan realize he couldn't stay calm.
Thinking about this, he realized that hiring a few bodyguards wasn't enough to ensure safety. He needed to produce more medicine. What if he couldn't be cured a year later? Was he really just waiting to be shot dead? What a joke.
For this reason, besides upgrading the simulation room to S-level, Lin Wei was also researching how to awaken vegetative patients. Undoubtedly, vegetative patients become vegetative due to severe trauma to their brain tissue, and current treatments are limited to medication and electroconvulsive therapy, yet no breakthroughs have been made.
Generally speaking, patients with non-traumatic brain injury may suffer permanent disability 3 months later, and those with traumatic brain injury 12 months later. In the case of the patient sent by Chi Boyan, she has been in a vegetative state for two years. To be honest, it would be very difficult to wake her up.
For a moment, Lin Wei was also at a loss.
Upon arriving at the Affiliated Hospital of University A, she went to each department one by one, including neurosurgery, neurology, critical care medicine, and rehabilitation medicine, asking if they had any patients in a vegetative state. If so, she asked how the hospital treated them; if not, she looked through past cases of patients in a vegetative state, wanting to understand the condition better.
The head of neurosurgery asked, "Why are you interested in vegetative state patients? Have you been researching this case lately?"
Lin Wei nodded. "Someone recently asked me to treat this disease, so I'm looking into it." She was also bored lately and didn't know what to do, so this would help pass the time.
The head of neurosurgery looked at her and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Young people are so energetic. She had just developed an anti-tumor drug and was already researching other diseases, each of which was unimaginable.
Because of the anti-tumor drugs, he was even more eager for a treatment method for vegetative state patients to be developed.
