Chapter 892 Seeking Medicine
Wednesday is April 6th, payday at Huashan Hospital.
Yu Zhiming calmed down a lot when he saw that the total salary of Huashan and Ning'an hospitals was nearly five million.
After all, Yu Zhiming had experienced receiving income of 10 or 20 million yuan, so he could be said to have seen the world.
He first transferred three million to Qing Ning to pay off his debts, and then transferred two hundred thousand to his eldest sister as travel funds for her and her parents for the next month.
Then, Yu Zhiming transferred another 10,000 yuan to Zhou Mo as a bonus for her hard work last month...
Zhou Mo, who was returning to the big office with packages, letters and other items, felt very happy when he saw the transfer information displayed on his mobile phone screen.
This 10,000 yuan bonus, plus the salary, allowances, etc. from the hospital, is more than 20,000 yuan.
This income is not much less than that of the attending physician who works hard every day.
The important thing is that you can take advantage of Dr. Yu’s connections, enjoy the good life together, and get a lot of good things.
For example, last night, when they returned to the community and parted ways, Zhou Mo was given a bottle of red wine and half a bottle of American ginseng.
Zhou Mo was very satisfied and secretly decided to work harder on this job.
Even if Dr. Yu made some unreasonable and excessive requests, she tried her best to satisfy them...
After distributing packages and letters to other people, Zhou Mo returned to his office and began to deal with Dr. Yu's letter.
Shen Qi walked over.
"Zhou Mo, if you don't have any important use for the American ginseng I gave you yesterday, how about giving it to me?"
"I'll offer you thirty-six yuan per gram!"
"Thirty-six per gram?" Zhou Mo was a little surprised and asked in confirmation, "American ginseng is so expensive?"
Yesterday, Yu Zhiming asked her to take out two bottles of American ginseng, weighing a total of two kilograms, and distribute them to everyone.
Including Dr. Qin Qiushi, there were twelve of them in total, and each received an average of more than 80 grams.
Calculated at 361 grams, that means each person received 3,000 yuan.
Shen Qi said: "The best American ginseng on the market now costs about 30 yuan per gram."
"I brought this American ginseng home last night. My family tasted it and said it must be wild and in very good condition, so it's worth more."
Zhou Mo uttered a soft "oh" and suddenly asked, "Doctor Shen, are you buying this American ginseng to give to your childhood sweetheart, the father?"
"Hey, how is he now?"
"Let me reiterate, she is not my childhood sweetheart."
Shen Qi emphasized it again with a serious expression, and then sighed, "His condition is not very good. He is paralyzed on one side of his body and his speech is slurred. He can only recuperate slowly."
After a pause, he explained, "This American ginseng is not prepared for him, but mainly for my aunt."
"My aunt had surgery early last year, but she's still quite weak and hasn't recovered. I let her soak these slices of American ginseng in water to replenish her qi and nourish her yin."
Zhou Mo said softly, "Then tomorrow, I'll bring you my portion of American ginseng..."
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, two advanced cancer patients who were transferred from Jingcheng Hospital to the center were about to start CAR-T treatment.
Yu Zhiming observed the two people's physical reactions in the treatment room for a while and then left.
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming stopped, turned around and quietly looked at Dr. Tang Jianxiong who was chasing after him.
"Doctor Yu, of the third batch of volunteers who underwent CAR-T therapy, all of them made it through successfully, except for the one who gave up."
Dr. Tang asked tentatively, "When will the fourth batch of volunteers with advanced cancer be screened?"
Yu Zhiming replied softly, "The selection of volunteers needs to be suspended for a while."
"The focus of the next phase of work will be the research and development of an alternative to the Ginseng Xuming Pill. Only once this issue is resolved can subsequent work begin with confidence."
Doctor Tang uttered a soft "Oh" and continued, "I heard from Doctor Wang Wu that there are now more than 200 ginseng life-extending pills."
"Doctor Yu, can you appropriately reduce the number of volunteers instead of suspending the treatment trial?"
Dr. Tang met Yu Zhiming's gaze and explained, "Many of the advanced cancer patients who come to the oncology department for treatment now come here specifically for this treatment trial."
"Although many of them understand that the chances of being selected are quite small, they still have to have hope."
Dr. Tang lamented, "For them, just a little hope can keep them going for a few more months."
"They all eagerly hope that your treatment trial, Dr. Yu, will be a great success and be widely promoted."
Yu Zhiming said slowly: "Even if it can be popularized, the high cost of treatment is not something that ordinary families can afford."
“Unless the state provides a safety net and it’s covered by medical insurance.”
Dr. Tang is optimistic: "First, we need to solve the problem of creating a new treatment, and then we can find a way to reduce the cost of treatment."
"Doctor Yu, I have good news for you..."
Dr. Tang said with joy, "We have applied to build a T cell gene editing laboratory, and it has been approved."
"Once we can produce T cells ourselves, the cost can be reduced by at least half from the original 1.2 million yuan."
CAR-T therapy is a personalized treatment that requires extracting a patient's own T cells, then genetically modifying and amplifying them. The process is complex and time-consuming, resulting in high costs.
Currently, the relatively mature T cell gene modification and expansion are still carried out by a few foreign biotechnology companies.
The T cells used by Yu Zhiming for these advanced cancer patients were also produced by foreign companies.
If we can produce T cells ourselves, given our capabilities, the cost of treatment will surely be significantly reduced...
"Then I wish you success soon."
Yu Zhiming congratulated him and, meeting Dr. Tang's expectant gaze, thought for a moment before saying, "For the treatment trial, we can, as Dr. Tang suggested, reduce the number of volunteers but not suspend the trial."
"Volunteers, let's screen them again next week..."
Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office to replenish some energy and unexpectedly found Dr. Cui Zhitan waiting for him.
Yu Zhiming first looked at Dr. Cui.
His hairstyle and clothes were neat, his beard was shaved cleanly without a single stubble, his face was rosy, and he looked four or five years younger than before.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he's been stuck in the office all this time.
"Doctor Cui, you're in high spirits, aren't you? Do you have good news for me?"
Cui Zhitan smiled without a trace of embarrassment and said, "Doctor Yu, please don't embarrass me. I also know that what I did was somewhat out of line with worldly views."
"However, some things happened that I just couldn't stop. I just let myself go and let my youthful enthusiasm run wild."
After a pause, he said cheerfully, "At the end of next month, I'll invite you to my and Feng Wei's wedding."
"But I came to see you for something else."
Cui Zhitan sat up straight and said, "Even after leaving Huashan, Feng Wei's medical and surgical skills have been steadily improving over the past few years. Now, even in the general surgery department of Huashan Hospital, her level of skill is no less than that of other deputy chief physicians."
"Doctor Yu, I'd like you to talk to Dean Gu and arrange for Feng Wei to be admitted to Ning'an Hospital!"
Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
"Doctor Cui, it won't be difficult for you to arrange for Doctor Feng to come to our Huashan."
"Ning'an is an hour and a half drive from Huashan, and work is already tiring."
Cui Zhitan chuckled and said, "They work in the same hospital, in the same department. Their work relationship and their marital relationship are intertwined, so some things are difficult to handle."
"Besides, I'm the deputy director of the department."
"Besides, isn't the Huashan Second Hospital about to start construction? It will only take two years of hard work at most."
Seeing that the other party had made a plan, Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "I will tell Dean Gu, but the specific conditions will need to be discussed with Dr. Feng himself."
"Dr. Yu, thank you!"
Cui Zhitan thanked him and said, "One more thing. I just received a patient who needs a pancreaticoduodenectomy."
"This patient is 71 years old. His organ function is declining and he has poor tolerance to surgery and anesthesia."
"I also have many underlying diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and my physical condition is quite poor."
Cui Zhitan sighed softly, "I'm very worried that he won't be able to survive the surgery and won't be able to get off the operating table."
"Doctor Yu, I'd like to ask for a ginseng pill to help him survive the surgery and recover quickly."
"Doctor Wang said that he has no say in the use of the ginseng life-extending pills. You have the final say."
this……
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but complain in his heart that this old guy Wang Wu was always shirking his responsibilities and causing trouble for him.
He asked, "Doctor Cui, is your relationship with this patient close?"
Cui Zhitan replied, "It was also asked by a friend of mine."
"Given the patient's age and physical condition, other hospitals were afraid to perform the surgery, so he finally came to me."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft "oh" and said politely, "Doctor Cui, I'm selecting volunteers with advanced cancer. Anyone over sixty will be rejected."
"Your patient is already seventy-one years old."
Cui Zhitan understood and continued to fight, "If I had the ginseng life-extending pill, I would have a 90% chance of success."
“Even if you are old, you are still alive.”
Yu Zhiming didn't answer but asked, "Doctor Cui, how much does this pancreaticoduodenectomy cost?"
Cui Zhitan said: "The surgery costs about 100,000 yuan. If there is an infection after the surgery, the cost will be unpredictable."
Yu Zhiming said, "For self-funded advanced cancer patients, our price for this ginseng life-extending pill is 300,000 yuan."
Cui Zhitan couldn't help but gasp, "It's so expensive?"
Yu Zhiming nodded.
Cui Zhitan stood up and said, "Such expensive medicine, I guess the patient's family can't afford it."
"Forget it, let's just leave it to fate."
Yu Zhiming personally escorted Dr. Cui to the elevator and watched him leave. When he returned to the large office, Dr. Qin came over.
"Doctor Yu, I just received a call from my father. He and some old friends will come to Binhai this afternoon..."
