Chapter 859 A friend in need is a friend indeed (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
A little after 11:30 am on Thursday, Yu Zhiming conducted physical examinations on two cancer patients from the island country at Zhizhen Building.
One of these two people had metastasis from gastric cancer surgery, and the other had metastasis from intestinal cancer surgery.
After Yu Zhiming examined the two people, he found that the cancerous tissue removal surgery could be performed.
only……
"Dr. Oura, the two patients you brought here are really too old."
Yu Zhiming told him frankly, "One is 71, and the other is 68. Given their age and physical condition, there's a high chance they won't survive the treatment."
Oura Yoshitomo, from the University of Tokyo Hospital, replied in English, "Doctor Yu, these two are wealthy and eager to live. They are the only two I can persuade in such a short time."
After a pause, he explained, "Doctor Yu, I didn't hide the risks of treatment from them."
“They all expressed their willingness to take on the responsibility.”
"After all, given their physical condition, they can only survive for one to one and a half years at most, and they will live in pain and suffering for most of that time."
“They all want to gamble.”
Oura Ryotomo chuckled again and said, "As for the risks of treatment, Doctor Yu, if only one of them can succeed, I will have enough confidence to convince more people to come."
Yu Zhiming nodded slightly.
Yu Zhiming is very welcome to patients who are willing to take the risk of death, spend money, and also give ginseng.
Oura Yoshitomo pointed to the petite, beautiful, well-behaved girl with straight hair beside him and introduced her, "Doctor Yu, this is my sister Oura Haruko, she's studying nursing."
"During this period, she will be stationed at Hospice Hospital on my behalf, firstly to care for patients and translate their needs; secondly, to serve as a link of communication between us."
After Oura Yoshitomo finished the introduction, Oura Haruko bowed deeply to Yu Zhiming and said in somewhat broken Chinese: "I am Oura Haruko, please take care of me, Doctor Yu."
“Take care of each other!”
Yu Zhiming said politely, and then said to Oura Liangyou: "The examination is completed, the patient can be transferred to Ning'an Hospital."
"The surgery is scheduled for Saturday morning..."
While the Dapu siblings were busy transferring the patient, Gu Qingran, who had gone to the airport to greet them and had been accompanying them all the way, took the opportunity to come to Yu Zhiming.
"Zhiming, I just received news from the hospital that the high fever of the German biomaterials expert has finally subsided."
"The artificial lung's membrane is on the verge of success!"
Seeing Gu Qingran's excited face, Yu Zhiming wanted to pour some cold water on him, but then he changed his mind and stopped.
Knowing how to do something and successfully doing it are two different things. There are probably many obstacles and problems to overcome in the process.
However, with the intelligence of the Chinese people and the continuous investment of funds, it is only a matter of time before we conquer it.
Gu Qingran added with a lively tone, "Zhi Ming, I have another piece of good news for you. Ji's amino acid will be approved next week, and formal clinical trials will begin."
"So fast?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
He originally thought that it would take at least half a year to reach this point.
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "This is mainly due to the excellent, almost amazing treatment results achieved by those patients who underwent expanded medication."
"After seeing their actual treatment results, the people at the Food and Drug Administration gave them the green light."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and asked, "How's the progress of Ji's amino acid industrial production research?"
Gu Qingran sighed softly, "There's not much progress at the moment. The production conditions are too demanding, not much different from laboratory conditions."
"What is certain is that when this drug is launched in the future, the price will be very high."
Yu Zhiming, who had personal experience with this, sighed, "None of the nerve recovery-promoting drugs are cheap..."
After seeing off the patients from the island country, the Dapu siblings, and Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office on the third underground floor and met Dr. Wang Wu who was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea.
"Doctor Yu, the three ginsengs brought by the islanders are pretty good. I estimate they can be used to make thirty life-extending pills for Chu."
Wang Wu said with joy again, "With the addition of the ginseng you sent yesterday, Doctor Yu, our stock of ginseng life-extending pills will finally exceed 100."
Yu Zhiming was also happy and said, "The more the better. In the next few days, we should have a few more ginseng plants coming in, which will increase our reserves of dozens of ginseng life-extending pills."
Wang Wu laughed heartily and said, "This is really good news. The search for ginseng still depends on you, Doctor Yu."
"It's a shame to say that the ginseng we all gathered together is not even a fraction of what you have."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and asked, "Doctor Wang, how is the development of this alternative medicine going?"
"There's no stable supply of wild ginseng that's over fifty years old, and every time we use one, it's gone. If we start admitting more cancer patients, these hundred or so ginseng pills won't last much longer."
Wang Wu smiled wryly and said, "Doctor Yu, improving this prescription is not that easy. It won't happen overnight."
"Currently, I have invited Dr. Qin Qiushi and Dr. Ye Peng from the Ye family to join us, but we haven't made much progress."
Yu Zhiming also understood that this kind of thing could not be rushed.
He could only hope that one of them would be able to come up with an idea with great wisdom and inspiration, and come up with an alternative solution with similar efficacy and a wide range of medicinal materials.
At this time, Zhou Mo came into the office carrying an insulated box and began to place lunch on the coffee table.
It's time for lunch.
Out of politeness, Yu Zhiming invited Dr. Wang to stay for lunch.
To his surprise, Dr. Wang agreed.
Yu Zhiming was feeling depressed, so he said to Zhou Mo, "You, Zhou Luo, Duan Yi and the others should go to the cafeteria to have lunch."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "No, I don't eat much now. Half a bowl of rice and a few bites of vegetables will be enough."
"Slightly fat plus, I want to lose weight and remove the plus."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes, ignored the guy, and instead invited Dr. Wang to have dinner together.
The lunch Aunt Qiu prepared for them today was braised pork, a platter of braised pork, and pan-fried fish fillets. The only vegetarian dish was a vegetable salad, and the soup was sea cucumber and pigeon soup.
The portion size of each dish is also large plus.
Wang Wu took a few bites of rice and couldn't help asking, "Doctor Yu, where did you buy this rice? The texture and taste are much better than what I usually eat."
Yu Zhiming didn't pay attention to this question. After a moment of reminiscing, he said, "A cousin of Qingning sent us rice from ten different regions before the New Year. We tried them all and picked the one that tasted the best."
"I'm not sure which one it is, but it seems to be produced in either the Northeast or the Northwest."
"If you want it, Dr. Wang, just ask Qing Ning to get a few more bags from his cousin."
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "Thank you very much."
"My husband has a very picky appetite. He won't eat a single bite of rice that doesn't taste good."
Wang Wu took a sip of his soup and then asked, "Doctor Yu, do Zhou Luo and Shen Qi on your team have girlfriends?"
"Dr. Zhou Luo has a childhood sweetheart, and as for Dr. Shen Qi..."
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhou Mo inquiringly.
Zhou Mo, who was concentrating on eating, seemed to have a third eye and replied softly: "Doctor Shen doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
Yu Zhiming took over and asked, "Doctor Wang, do you want to introduce him to Wang Shuisu?"
Wang Wu hummed lightly and explained, "Shui Su is already quite old now. She is busy with work all day and goes out early and comes back late. We old couple have to worry about her more."
"Zhou Luo and Shen Qi are both tall, good-looking, and have decent family backgrounds. They're barely worthy of my Shui Su."
Wang Wu continued, "Doctor Yu, could you help set up a connection between Shen Qi and my Shui Su?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "No problem. It's hard to say about the rest, but it's easy to introduce them to each other."
"Thank you in advance."
Wang Wu thanked him and glanced at Zhou Mo, who was sitting diagonally across from him and next to Yu Zhiming. He smiled and said, "If they really get together, you'll be the matchmaker."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "I'm just introducing the two of them. I can't afford to be the matchmaker."
Just then, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and was surprised to find that it was a call from Ye Huazhang, a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Yu Zhiming answered the call and asked directly, "Mr. Ye, what's going on?"
The next moment, Ye Huazhang's long sigh came from the phone, followed by his voice.
"Doctor Yu, something important has happened. I'd like to ask for your assistance despite your busy schedule."
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously: "Mr. Ye, can you please tell me what is going on first?"
"Doctor Yu, it's like this..."
Ye Huazhang said on the phone: "This morning, a patient received acupuncture at Gancaotang."
"During the needle insertion process, he suddenly became ill. The attack was severe and rapid, and he died within ten minutes of receiving emergency treatment."
Ye Huazhang sighed softly, "We don't want such an accident to happen. If it's our fault, we will definitely not shirk responsibility."
"The most important thing now is to determine the cause of death so that we can clarify the responsibility."
"One problem is that the family of the deceased doesn't want an autopsy."
"I asked Dr. Yu to come over for a physical examination to see if we could find out the cause of death."
"The deceased's family also highly approves of you, Doctor Yu, and agrees with my proposal."
"Doctor Yu, what do you think about this?"
Yu Zhiming could hear worry in Ye Huazhang's voice.
You can understand it if you think about it.
Gancaotang had been open for less than two months, and even with Ye Huazhang, who was recognized as a master of traditional Chinese medicine, in person, someone died from acupuncture.
The impact on Gancaotang is enormous.
When faced with such a situation, and considering that he had a good relationship with the Ye family, Yu Zhiming did not refuse.
This should be considered as a case of true friendship being tested in times of adversity.
"Master Ye, I'll be there right away..."
