Vanessa Lee Chester, the chief diagnostician from B. Braun Medical, seemed very polite and showed great importance to Yu Zhiming.
But whether "seeing is believing" or "having the honor to join", it shows this person's doubts about Yu Zhiming, as well as the self-righteous arrogance and superiority of Westerners.
Yu Zhiming will not get used to it.
Just when he was about to speak, he noticed his left foot was lightly touched a few times.
Yu Zhiming glanced at Gu Qingran on his left and knew that this guy was really attracted to the latest hemodialysis membrane that Chester mentioned.
He can understand it too.
High-end precision medical equipment such as nuclear magnetic imaging machines, as well as core high-tech medical materials such as lung membranes required for artificial heart and lung eco, are basically controlled by foreign countries.
There is still a long way to go to replace domestic products.
Co-production is undoubtedly the best way to quickly obtain the other party's technology and then achieve follow-up and overtaking.
Therefore, it is necessary to make some appropriate sacrifices.
Thinking of this, Yu Zhiming softened his tone.
"Dr. Chester, you may already know that I am currently participating in research on a very early stage cancer project."
"Coupled with other daily work, I am short of time, so I can only say sorry for your project invitation."
The next moment, Yu Zhiming said again: "However, I am happy to conduct a physical examination on the three people you brought so that you can see my abilities."
This response gave Gu Qingran the urge to hold his forehead.
He has seen that Chester's purpose is to recruit Yu Zhiming into her project research team.
You declined the invitation first and then wanted the other person’s benefits. Why did your thoughts become so childish?
Gu Qingran was about to open her mouth to try to save her, but Chester spoke first.
"Dr. Yu, I didn't explain it clearly. If you know the specific contents of my research and development team for this project, you will definitely understand why I said it has created medical history."
Chester took a sip of coffee before speaking again.
"In the past eleven years, my team and I have been mainly focused on research on the reversal of diabetes."
"The earlier it is detected, the greater the possibility of reversal."
Diabetes is an incurable disease. We can only control the development of the disease, prevent and delay the occurrence of complications, improve the quality of life of patients, and prolong the survival time of patients.
Although diabetes is an incurable, lifelong disease, it does not require lifelong medication.
According to current research, diabetes is mostly related to acquired bad lifestyle.
Therefore, as long as the bad lifestyle that causes diabetes is corrected in the early stages of diabetes without serious complications of various organs, the burden on the pancreatic beta cells of diabetic patients can be reduced and the sensitivity can be improved.
This may allow the limited amount of insulin secretion to meet the patient's physiological needs under the premise of diet and exercise control, and ultimately maintain normal blood sugar without medication for a long time.
When this happens, it is considered a reversal of diabetes, and some medical scholars call it the cure of early diabetes.
In Yu Zhiming's opinion, it is purely an exaggeration to say that this situation is cured.
It’s just that long-term medication is replaced by strict diet control, lifestyle control, and exercise control.
Once this kind of strict self-disciplined ascetic life cannot be adhered to, symptoms of diabetes will follow one after another...
Chester went on to say: “In recent years, my team and I have been very effective in researching the early detection and treatment of diabetes.”
She said with a proud face: "The diabetes screening program we developed has an accuracy rate of detecting early asymptomatic diabetes patients as high as 84%."
After a pause, Chester said solemnly: "I can reveal some news to you."
"As of yesterday, a total of seven patients with early-stage asymptomatic diabetes have been cured after scientific and careful treatment by our team."
She emphasized: "Please note that I am talking about cure, not reversal. They do not need a strict diet and lifestyle to achieve self-regulation of blood sugar."
"We are confident that we can overcome the problem of curing early asymptomatic diabetes and bring good news to more patients."
Chester looked at Yu Zhiming and said: "Your country has the largest number of diabetic patients in the world, and the incidence rate continues to rise. Now one in ten people has diabetes."
"Dr. Yu, will you continue to refuse my invitation to join my research team?"
Yu Zhiming looked at the confident Chester and gave him a polite and shallow smile.
What Chester said did not have much impact on him.
Nowadays, many cancers can be cured in their early stages, and diabetes can be cured in asymptomatic early stages. In Yu Zhiming's view, this is not a big medical breakthrough.
All said and done, the most important thing is to detect it early.
Any disease is the easiest to deal with in its early stages.
Just like a tumor that takes root and sprouts quietly, the early development of diabetes is also extremely insidious and has no symptoms.
Once the symptoms are noticed, it has basically reached the mid-term stage that requires clinical treatment.
Another reason why Yu Zhiming was not interested in Chester's invitation was that although diabetes cannot be cured and is a lifelong disease, compared with cancer, it has a very huge feature.
That is, diabetes can be effectively controlled.
If a diabetic patient lives a self-disciplined life, maintains long-term blood sugar control, and has no complications from diabetes, in this case, the patient's lifespan will basically not be affected.
Yu Zhiming also understood that the purpose of the other party inviting him to join the research team was simply to help him optimize diabetes screening indicators, explore physical changes in diabetic patients, optimize treatment plans, etc.
To put it bluntly, let him be a tool man.
Judging from the attitude shown by Chester, Yu Zhiming should not be given an important R&D status, such as the person in charge, or a collaborator, etc.
At most, he can be regarded as a high-end wage earner.
Yu Zhiming secretly thought that working for a foreigner like you would be better than cooperating with the domestic diabetes research team.
As a country with the largest number of diabetic patients, there are not too many medical experts studying diabetes.
If there is no suitable team, it is not impossible for Yu Zhiming to take the initiative to form one himself.
Of course, Yu Zhiming also understands the principle of biting off more than he can chew, and now that he has limited time and energy, he is unlikely to participate in too many research projects...
Yu Zhiming thought about it carefully, and when he was about to refuse again, Gu Qingran spoke first.
"Dr. Chester, cooperation on this research and development project cannot be settled with just a few words."
"How about now, let Dr. Yu check the health of your three companions first?"
Seeing that Chester nodded in agreement with the proposal, Gu Qingran asked confirmingly: "About the hemodialysis membrane?"
Chester chuckled softly and said, "Mr. Gu, don't worry, I will definitely honor what I said."
"Even if Dr. Yu rejects my invitation in the end..."
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming stood up and said: "Let's not waste time and start the physical examination."
"Follow me to the examination room."
Chester, who stood up at the same time, interrupted: "Doctor Yu, as far as I know, you can also perform physical examinations in a relatively messy environment."
"This office is quiet enough. We can just do the physical examination here and we can watch from the sidelines. Is that okay?"
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but roll his eyelids.
Is this because you are afraid that he will cheat?
"Can!"
Yu Zhiming looked at the three men beside Chester and asked directly: "Which one of you will come first?"
Following his words, a brown-haired man in his thirties took a small step forward.
Yu Zhiming asked the man to lie down on the vacant couch, put on medical gloves, and began to examine the man's head while patting and pressing.
When he inspected the man's chest, Yu Zhiming frowned, and then accelerated the inspection, finishing the inspection of the man's chest and abdominal cavity in less than a minute.
Then, Yu Zhiming straightened up, turned around, and looked at Chester with an unhappy expression.
"There were three one-centimeter-diameter glass balls in his body. One was dropped by a silk thread to the lower end of the esophagus, one was in the duodenum, and one was in the colon."
"Dr. Chester, your test is too simple, isn't it? You are totally looking down on me."
Chester clapped his hands gently and said: "Dr. Yu, this is not disrespectful. This is enough to prove that your body exploration ability is comparable to CT, and the detection efficiency is far superior to CT."
"This is already amazing."
"Dr. Yu, let's continue!"
The second person to be examined was a foreigner in his forties with a hooked nose and deep eyes.
Yu Zhiming did a full-body examination on him and found that his biggest problem was pancreatic cancer.
Fortunately, it is early stage.
Chester clapped his hands louder.
"Dr. Yu, the rumors are indeed true, amazing!"
"He was diagnosed with early-stage pancreatic cancer after our repeated examinations. We found some abnormalities in his pancreas during the diabetes screening in the past few days."
"I really didn't expect that Dr. Yu confirmed his pancreatic cancer in just four or five minutes."
Qi Yue, Gu Qingran, and Zhou Mo on the side had strange expressions when they heard these words.
This is really a lack of information, it’s so rare that it’s so strange.
For Yu Zhiming, this is a basic operation.
Chester said with a face of joy: "Your ability is enough to join my research team."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and looked at the third person again.
Chester added: "Doctor Yu, when you examine him, I have a small request. You need to wear an eye patch."
After a pause, she explained: "The reason for this requirement is that Dr. Yu needs you to feel the tattoo pattern on his skin with your hands."
When Qi Yue heard this request, his heart suddenly became clear.
In patients with early-stage diabetes, when the body is in a high-sugar state, the tissue fluid under the surface of the skin becomes hypertonic. The hypertonic state dehydrates the cells on the surface of the skin, causing the skin to lose moisture and causing symptoms of dry skin.
In the middle and late stages of diabetes, severe diabetic skin disease will occur.
Skin necrosis and ulceration may even occur.
It is possible that the team in Chester has developed a way to detect cutaneous diabetes by probing the condition of the skin.
Therefore, she tested Yu Zhiming's ability to detect subtle changes in the skin.
Chester's voice sounded again.
"Dr. Yu, your ability has convinced me to see and believe it. You are fully qualified to join my team."
"His skin tattoos were tattooed by our famous tattoo artist using the finest needles. The last tattoo was two years ago."
Chester said with a smile: "Dr. Yu, if you are not sure, you can give up this test."
Yu Zhiming stretched out his hand and said: "Eye mask..."
