At 11:30 on Thursday morning, Yu Zhiming performed a physical examination on two cancer patients from the island country at the Zhizhen Building.
Of these two people, one had postoperative metastasis from gastric cancer and the other had postoperative metastasis from intestinal cancer.
After Yu Zhiming examined the two men, he found that surgery to remove the cancerous tissue was feasible.
only……
"Dr. Oura, the two patients you brought here are really too old."
Yu Zhiming said bluntly: "One is 71 years old and the other is 68 years old. With their age and physical condition, the possibility that they will not be able to survive the treatment is not small."
Yoshitomo Ohura from the University of Tokyo Hospital in the island country replied in English: "Dr. Yu, these two people are rich and full of desire to live. They are the only two people I can persuade in such a short period of time.
"
After a pause, he explained: "Dr. Yu, I did not hide the risks of treatment from them."
"They all said they were willing to take it on."
"After all, with their physical condition, they can only survive for a year to a year and a half at most, and most of that time they will live in pain and suffering."
"They all want to take a gamble."
Ohura Yoshitomo chuckled again and said: "As for the risks of treatment, Dr. Yu, as long as one of them can succeed, I will be confident enough to convince more people to come."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently.
Yu Zhiming is very welcoming to patients who are willing to bear the risk of death and pay for ginseng.
Ohura Yoshitomo pointed at the cute, straight-haired girl next to him and introduced: "Doctor Yu, this is my sister Haruko Ohura. She majored in nursing."
"During this period, she will be stationed at Ning'an Hospital for me. Firstly, she will take care of the patients and translate their needs; secondly, she will serve as a communication link between us."
After Yoshitomo Ohura finished introducing her, Haruko Ohura bowed deeply to Yu Zhiming and said in somewhat broken Chinese: "I am Haruko Ohura, please take good care of me, Dr. Yu."
“Look out for each other!”
Yu Zhiming said politely and said to Oura Yoshitomo: "After the examination is completed, the patient can be transferred to Ning'an Hospital."
"The operation time is scheduled for Saturday morning..."
While the Da Pu brothers and sisters were busy transferring the patients, Gu Qingran, who went to the airport to greet them and accompanied them all the way, took the opportunity to come to Yu Zhiming.
"Zhi Ming, I just received news from the hospital that the high fever of the German biomaterials expert has finally subsided."
"The lung membrane of artificial lung is in sight!"
Seeing Gu Qingran's excited face, Yu Zhiming wanted to pour cold water on it, but then he thought about it and stopped.
Knowing how to do something and successfully doing it are two different things. There are probably many obstacles and problems to be overcome in between.
However, with the intelligence of the Chinese people and the continuous investment of funds, it is only a matter of time to conquer it.
Gu Qingran said with excitement: "Zhiming, let me tell you another piece of good news. 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 fact that several patients who took extended medication have achieved excellent, almost amazing therapeutic effects."
"Those from the Food and Drug Administration gave the green light directly after seeing their actual therapeutic effects."
Yu Zhiming snorted and asked: "How is the research on the industrial preparation of Ji's amino acids progressing?"
Gu Qingran sighed: "There is not much progress at present. Its requirements for production conditions are too strict, and they are not much different from laboratory conditions."
"What is certain is that when this drug is launched in the future, the price will be very expensive."
Yu Zhiming, who has personal experience, sighed: "None of the neurological recovery-promoting drugs is cheap..."
After sending away the island patients, the Dapu brothers and sisters, and Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office on the third underground floor and saw Dr. Wang Wu sitting at the coffee table drinking tea.
"Doctor Yu, the three ginseng trees brought by the island countryman are pretty good, and they are expected to be able to prepare thirty life-sustaining pills."
Wang Wu looked happy again and said: "Coupled with the ginseng you sent yesterday, Dr. Yu, our stock of ginseng life-sustaining pills can finally exceed 100 pills."
Yu Zhiming also said happily: "The more, the merrier. In the next few days, there should be a few more ginseng trees added to the account, and dozens of ginseng life-sustaining pills will be added to the reserve."
Wang Wu laughed and said, "This is really good news. I have to rely on you, Dr. Yu, to search for ginseng."
"It's embarrassing to say that the ginseng we got together to find is not even a fraction of yours."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and asked: "Dr. Wang, how is the development of this alternative drug going?"
"There is no stable supply of wild ginseng that has been produced for more than 50 years, and one tree will be lost if we use one. If we open up the treatment of cancer patients, these more than 100 ginseng life-sustaining pills will not last long at all."
Wang Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Dr. Yu, improving the prescription is not that easy. It cannot be accomplished overnight."
"Currently, I have invited Dr. Qin Qiushi and Dr. Ye Peng from the Ye family to join, but there is not much progress."
Yu Zhiming also understands that this kind of thing cannot be rushed.
He could only hope that one of them would be wise enough to have a flash of inspiration and come up with an alternative with a small difference in efficacy and a wide range of medicinal materials.
At this time, Zhou Mo came into the office carrying an incubator and started placing lunch on the coffee table.
It's time for lunch.
Out of politeness, Yu Zhiming invited Dr. Wang to stay and have lunch with him.
To his surprise, Dr. Wang agreed.
Yu Zhiming felt depressed and had no choice but to say to Zhou Mo: "You, Zhou Luo, Duan Yi and the others should go to the cafeteria for lunch."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "No, I don't eat much now, just half a bowl of rice and a few more vegetables."
"Slightly fat plus, I want to lose weight and get rid of the plus."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyelids, stopped talking to this guy, and instead invited Dr. Wang to have dinner with him.
Today, Aunt Qiu prepared for them lunch of braised pork, braised pork platter, and pan-fried fish pieces. The only vegetarian dish was 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 mouthfuls of rice and couldn't help but ask: "Doctor Yu, where did you buy this rice? The texture and taste are much better than what I usually eat."
Yu Zhiming did not pay attention to this issue. He recalled for a moment and said: "A cousin of Qing Ning sent ten kinds of rice from different regions. After we tasted it, we chose the one that felt best."
"I don't know exactly which one. It seems to be produced in the Northeast or the Northwest."
"Doctor Wang, if you want, just ask Qing Ning to go to his cousin's place to get a few more bags."
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "Thank you very much."
"My family has a picky appetite and won't eat a bite of rice that doesn't taste good."
Wang Wu took a sip of the soup and then asked: "Doctor Yu, do Zhou Luo and Shen Qi in your team have girlfriends?"
"Dr. Zhou Luo has a childhood sweetheart. As for Dr. Shen Qi..."
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhou Mo questioningly.
Zhou Mo, who was immersed in eating, seemed to have a third eye, and softly replied: "Doctor Shen doesn't have a girlfriend yet."
Yu Zhiming took the call and asked: "Doctor Wang, do you want to introduce me to Wang Shuisu?"
Wang Wu hummed and explained, "Shui Su is now quite old. Now she is busy with work all day long and leaves early and comes back late. We, the old couple, have to worry more about her."
"Zhou Luo and Shen Qi are tall, good-looking, and from decent family backgrounds. They are barely worthy of my Shui Su."
Wang Wu said again: "Doctor Yu, can you help connect Shen Qi and my Shui Su?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "No problem, it's hard to say anything else. It's easy to introduce them to each other."
"Then thank you in advance."
Wang Wu thanked him, glanced at Zhou Mo who was sitting side by side with Yu Zhiming diagonally opposite, and said with a smile: "If these two really get married, you will be a great matchmaker."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's just an introduction to two people. I can't afford to be a matchmaker."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
He picked up his cell phone and looked at it, and to his surprise, he found a call from Ye Huazhang, a master of traditional Chinese medicine.
Yu Zhiming answered the call and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, what's the matter?"
The next moment, Ye Huazhang's sigh first came from the phone, and then his voice rang.
"Doctor Yu, something big has happened, and I would like to ask you to help me out despite your busy schedule."
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously: "Mr. Ye, can you tell me what is going on first?"
"Doctor Yu, it's like this..."
Ye Huazhang recounted during the call: "This morning, a patient was undergoing acupuncture at Licorice Hall."
"During the process of retaining the needle, he suddenly suffered from physical discomfort, which was violent and rapid. He died within ten minutes of the rescue."
Ye Huazhang sighed lightly: "We don't want such an unexpected thing to happen. If it is caused by our responsibility, we will never shirk it."
"The most important thing now is to determine the cause of death of the deceased so that responsibility can be clarified."
"One problem is that the family members of the deceased don't want an autopsy."
"I asked Dr. Yu to come over for a physical examination to see if the cause of death can be found."
"The family of the deceased also very much recognized you, Dr. Yu, and agreed with my proposal."
"Dr. Yu, do you think this is happening?"
Yu Zhiming could hear worry in Ye Huazhang's voice.
You can understand it if you think about it.
It had been less than two months since the opening of Licorice Hall, and Ye Huazhang, who was still recognized as the master of traditional Chinese medicine, was personally in charge, and there was an incident of death from acupuncture.
This has had a huge impact on Licorice Hall.
When encountering this kind of thing, and because his relationship with the Ye family was pretty good, Yu Zhiming didn't shirk it.
This should be considered a friend in need is a friend indeed.
"Mr. Ye, I'll rush over right away..."

I wish all my book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and my family happiness and health!
