Chapter 1342 Virus Mutation
At 7:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming met Dr. Wang Yan from Jingcheng Hospital in a private room in the restaurant on the third floor of Youyou Hotel.
Gu Qingran, Zhou Mo and Zhang Hai accompanied them.
In Yu Zhiming's opinion, Dr. Wang Yan is a typical gentle and elegant expert. He is in his fifties or sixties, wears thick glasses, has some gray hair, and his face reveals a bit of fatigue.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yu Zhiming got straight to the point: "Doctor Wang, I heard from Dean Gu that you insist on meeting with me for a discussion?"
Wang Yan saw that Yu Zhiming asked directly, so he slowly said, "To be honest, Doctor Yu, it was indeed my special request."
After a pause, he looked at Yu Zhiming with a sharp gaze and said, "Doctor Yu, I won't hide anything. You must be aware of the Jingcheng Chu family's hereditary heart disease."
"In the past few years, I have devoted a lot of energy to researching their genetic heart disease at Jingcheng Hospital."
Wang Yan sighed softly and said, "After a few years, I haven't gained much, but I still have some ideas."
"However, to realize this idea, I need the help of Dr. Yu's ability to detect the details of the body."
Yu Zhiming was slightly stunned.
"Doctor Wang, do you want me to help you continue your research on the Chu family's genetic heart disease after you switch to Ning'an Hospital?"
Wang Yan nodded and continued, "I understand that you, Doctor Yu, have had considerable conflict with the Jingcheng Chu family. Hundreds of people in the Chu family have suffered from this hereditary heart disease for a long time."
He sighed and advised, "I don't know much about the conflict between you, Doctor Yu, and the Chu family, so it's hard for me to comment."
"However, in my opinion, the ones who offended you, Doctor Yu, were a few members of the Chu family at Jingcheng Hospital, including Chu Shiyu, Chu Yunfan, and others."
"The vast majority of the Chu family should be innocent..."
Gu Qingran suddenly spoke up, "Doctor Wang, you're wrong to say that. A family, a clan, must share weal and woe and be an inseparable whole."
"It doesn't make sense to enjoy the benefits and glory brought by the family, but not be implicated when someone in the family gets into trouble or makes a mistake."
"What's more, the person causing the trouble is the one in power and in charge of the Chu family."
"In ancient times, this was called 'guilt by association.' Even today, if a direct relative commits a crime, the children's jobs will be affected."
Wang Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm a doctor. My duty is to heal illnesses and save lives. I certainly wouldn't want to treat my enemies or those I don't like."
"I understand your decision to ban it, Dr. Yu."
"only……"
Wang Yan sighed softly and said, "Because of this heart research, I have come into contact with many people in the Chu family."
"Most of them are just ordinary citizens with their own ups and downs."
"What they fear most is having a daughter."
Wang Yan saw that he had said a lot and Yu Zhiming seemed unmoved, so he directly stated his bottom line conditions.
"Doctor Yu, I would like to continue my research on the Chu family's inherited heart disease with your assistance."
Wang Yan said solemnly, "If by some chance I discover something, I am willing to give up the ownership of the research results and let Ning'an Hospital and Dr. Yu have full control over them."
"Whether you seal the project's findings or use them against the Jingcheng Chu family, I have no objection."
this……
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but look at Gu Qingran.
If they really make a discovery and the results are in their hands, the Jingcheng Chu family will basically be able to control them at will.
However, isn’t the contrast between Dr. Wang Yan’s statement on the conditions for cooperation and his initial excuses for the Chu family a bit too great?
Gu Qingran asked: "Project research funds?"
Wang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm looking for corporate sponsorship. Please rest assured that I won't use the Chu family's funds."
Yu Zhiming also asked, "To continue this genetic heart disease research, we will definitely need a lot of volunteers from the Chu family."
Wang Yan said, "Asking the Chu family to be volunteers, as long as you don't object, they will definitely be happy to do so."
"The Chu family would love for medical institutions around the world to study their genetic heart disease, even if they are enemies..."
Seeing that Gu Qingran and Yu Zhiming stopped asking questions and exchanged glances instead, Wang Yan stood up.
"This is my final condition for cooperation."
"I had already eaten dinner before coming here, so I won't disturb your discussion..."
Gu Qingran tried to persuade Wang Yan to stay, but seeing that he was determined to leave, she personally escorted him out of the room...
A few minutes later, Gu Qingran returned to the private room and saw Yu Zhiming, Zhou Mo and Zhang Hai all busy eating.
This is really...birds of a feather flock together.
Gu Qingran waited patiently for Yu Zhiming to put down his chopsticks before asking, "Zhiming, what do you think of this cooperation agreement?"
Yu Zhiming took a sip of soup and said, "I feel..."
He thought for a suitable adjective and continued, "Dr. Wang Yan came here with a self-sacrificing, life-or-death determination, a determination to die for his country if I don't."
Yu Zhiming is devoted to medicine, has little experience in the world, and is not very good at interpersonal communication, but Gu Qingran attaches great importance to his opinions.
People like Yu Zhiming who are relatively pure are more likely to see through phenomena and grasp the essence.
Gu Qingran said in a deep voice, "I'll have someone conduct an in-depth investigation into Dr. Wang Yan and lower his standards for recruitment. If he ultimately agrees, then he has ulterior motives."
After a pause, he continued, "This purpose should be the research on the Chu family's inherited heart disease."
"Although he said he would hand over the results to us, it would be easy for him to leak them."
Gu Qingran chuckled again and said, "Zhiming, it seems that Doctor Wang Yan has great confidence in you. He believes that with your participation, there will definitely be great discoveries."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Perhaps they are just trying all sorts of methods to cure their illness. The Chu family has invested so much for so many years and has gained nothing, so they are getting anxious."
Gu Qingran smiled and said, "They are anxious, but we are not. We can delay for a while."
He then said, "Zhiming, regarding the selection of the president of the teaching hospital in my hometown, there are seven candidates, including President Tan. We need to decide as soon as possible."
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "After the charity ceremony?"
Gu Qingran responded with a "OK"...
After dinner, Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshan Mansion. It was already past 9:30 in the evening.
I saw Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan, wearing pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, eating fruit and watching TV.
"How do you feel about your first day of internship?"
Zeng Yan responded first, "I feel pretty good. I followed Dr. Wang on ward rounds, examined patients, prepared for surgery, went into the operating room to observe the surgery, and also did post-operative care with Bao Wan."
"It's been a very fulfilling day."
When Yu Zhiming heard her say this, he knew that he was being treated specially. As an intern, he followed the chief physician around and even entered the operating room. This was not a treatment that ordinary people could enjoy.
Do you want to tell Dr. Wang?
Yu Zhiming was thinking when his cell phone rang.
It’s Zhou Luo calling.
As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Luo's excited voice rang out, "Teacher, you are right. It is rabies virus, and it is not just ordinary rabies virus."
He further explained over the phone: "At first, the hospital there did not detect rabies virus using conventional methods. At our suggestion, they conducted in-depth testing."
"Finally, we made a major discovery. We have confirmed that this is a rabies virus that has undergone some kind of mutation."
Hearing this, Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask worriedly, "How contagious is it?"
The rabies virus is not contagious during the incubation period, but during the outbreak period, it can be transmitted from person to person.
The patient had been suffering from the disease for more than a month and had been treated in many hospitals, coming into contact with countless medical staff.
Zhou Luo replied on the phone: "They have reported it to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the infectious disease prevention mechanism has been activated immediately."
"We are all hoping that this mutated rabies virus will be less contagious, or even lose its contagiousness..."
Yu Zhiming also began to look forward to it.
Generally speaking, more than 99% of virus mutations are harmful to the virus itself.
Either the toxicity becomes less, or the infectiousness becomes weaker.
Generally speaking, the more and faster a virus mutates, the less harmful it is.
However, the virus mutates quickly, making it difficult to develop targeted vaccines and effective medicines.
The rabies virus, which has existed for more than a thousand years, is a very stable virus and rarely mutates.
Its toxicity is as strong as ever.
This patient has not died after more than a month of illness, which shows that the toxicity of this mutant rabies virus has been weakened a lot. I hope its infectiousness will also be greatly reduced...
PS.
It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
