That night, when Mrs. Cuisi re-hung the precious oil painting she had obtained from Shi Zhijian on the wall and fed the pet cat food, she looked at the quartz clock hanging on the wall and saw that it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
Mrs. Tracey looked at the light in the study, but it was still bright. She had to go upstairs and knock on the door again, and then told her husband, Dr. Fit, who was still reading at night by candlelight, that it was time to go to bed.
Dr. Fite shook his head and asked Mrs. Tris to make him a cup of coffee, saying that he must read the information in his hand tonight no matter what.
That information was clearly the experimental report on the clinical use of penicillin that Shi Zhijian brought to him today.
This experimental report may seem boring to others. It basically records the various reactions of some patients who did skin tests when using penicillin. Some had accelerated heartbeats, some had urticaria, and some
Symptoms of chest tightness and asthma occur, etc.
The report on this experiment started a month ago. It is conceivable that Shi Zhijian had already started preparing for this matter a month ago, and the ban on penicillin had just begun.
In short, this detailed and lengthy report is enough to give many people a headache. However, Dr. Fit felt that the words in Shi Zhijian's experimental report simply tickled him. Every word and every sentence made him feel uncomfortable.
Others couldn't help but read it two or three times, then pondered, considered, analyzed and compared the length of these experiments, and then compared them with the knowledge they had learned, and finally came to similar conclusions.
Penicillin is also called penicillin. Before the 1940s, humans had not been able to master a drug that could effectively treat bacterial infections with few side effects. At that time, if someone contracted tuberculosis, it meant that the person would die soon.
In order to change this situation, scientific researchers have conducted long-term exploration. However, the breakthrough progress made in this area originated from an unexpected discovery.
In modern times, British bacteriologist Fleming first discovered penicillin, the world's first antibiotic, in 1928. However, because the technology at that time was not advanced enough and the understanding was not deep enough, he did not isolate penicillin alone.
The following year, Fleming published his research results. Unfortunately, this paper was not taken seriously by the scientific community until ten years later, when the German chemist Ernst Chain saw Fleming in a pile of old books.
I came to Ming's paper and started to do purification experiments.
In the winter of 1940, Qian En refined a little bit of penicillin. Although this was a major breakthrough, it was still far from clinical application.
After a period of intense experiments, Flory and Qian finally used the freeze-drying method to extract penicillin crystals. Afterwards, Flory discovered a mold on a melon that could extract large amounts of penicillin, and prepared the corresponding solution using corn flour.
culture solution. Driven by these research results, American pharmaceutical companies began mass production of penicillin in 1942.
By 1943, pharmaceutical companies had discovered a way to mass-produce penicillin. Britain and the United States were at war with Germany. The new drug was very effective in controlling wound infections.
In October 1943, Florey signed the first batch of penicillin production contracts with the U.S. military. Penicillin came out at the end of World War II and quickly turned the war situation of the Allies. After the war, penicillin was widely used and saved thousands of lives.
Thousands of lives.
Because of this great invention, in 1945, Fleming, Florey and Chain jointly won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for "the discovery of penicillin and its clinical utility."
Penicillin has saved countless lives since its birth. However, because everyone's body constitution is different, they will have different reactions when using penicillin.
It's a pity that there is no such thing as "skin test" in this era, and this experimental report written by Shi Zhijian to Dr. Fitt is all about the skin test experiment---the data has been listed in such detail, there is no need for Dr. Fitt to
The medical doctor thought deeply that even ordinary medical practitioners can understand what Shi Zhijian meant.
When Mrs. Tracey brought the coffee to Dr. Fit, Dr. Fit couldn't help but take off his glasses and turned to ask his wife: "Dear, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Of course you are a good person and an excellent doctor!" Mrs. Tracey said while massaging her husband's shoulders.
"No, I am a selfish person! Yes, I am very selfish!" Dr. Fit said, "Because of my selfishness, I am very resistant to the ban on exposure to penicillin from the bottom of my heart! But these experimental reports in front of me tell me that I am like this
What I did was wrong. Originally, penicillin was a treasure that could cure diseases and save lives, but I hid it. This was unfair to many patients!"
Of course Mrs. Cuisi understood what her husband was thinking, so she comforted him and said: "These reports are written for you by the young man named Shi Zhijian. As for the authenticity, it remains to be tested——"
"You're right!" Dr. Fit held his wife's hand and kissed the back of her hand: "So I plan to spend three days to personally meet these patients who have undergone the experiment and see how they are doing.
Is it the same as what is written in this report? Medicine, life and death are at stake, and there is no room for any lies!"
…
Three days is neither long nor short.
But for Shi Zhijian, he didn't have time to wait around, he had to do something, and for Shi Zhijian, what he was best at was setting traps for others.
As long as the person he traps this time is the initiator of the whole thing - the Xie family.
"Ah-Dai!" As the loyal subordinate and follower of Miss Xie's third daughter, Ah-Dai has not been in good health these days. To be more specific, he is sick and has a cold.
The climate in a place like Thailand is mild, so it is most difficult to treat colds and fevers. Dui fell into the category of hot colds. He would have a runny nose and sneezing at every turn, making his eyes sore and his mouth tasteless.
At this time, Ah-Dai was in the hospital clinic, sticking out his tongue to let the doctor on the other side look at his tongue coating.
The doctor took a pick and flicked it on his tongue for a while, then took the pick back.
Dumb's eyes were sore, his nose was itchy, and he sneezed out again.
Clear soup makes nosebleeds spread three feet!
The doctor opposite was the first to bear the brunt and was almost sprayed!
The doctor fearfully found the mask from the drawer and put it on.
Dumb blew his nose with his hands, and then shook his nose on the ground!
The doctor frowned when he saw it, but he did not dare to have an attack because he was a master of the Xie family. He even had to take the initiative to find a tissue and hand it over.
"No need!" Duan casually sipped the snot on his hand on the chair -----
The doctor was so sick that he wanted to vomit!
"Sir, your cold is getting worse and worse. It's best to stay in the hospital and let me give you IV drips for a few days."
"Get an intravenous drip? Stay in the hospital?" Dui looked unhappy and pinched his nose, "You know I'm so busy. Miss Third can't leave me all the time. You actually let a busy person like me stay here to get an intravenous drip? That Hong Kong saying
No matter what you say, I’ll beat your lungs out!”
The doctor was just a human being, so he coughed and said, "Then just keep taking the medicine!"
"Take medicine? Take your mother! Your medicine doesn't work. I've been taking it for three days, but I'm so virtuous. My nose runs all the time. I can't sit or lie down. It's extremely uncomfortable!"
"You have a bad cold, of course you don't feel well!"
"It's the wrong medicine you prescribed!" Ah-Dai said unreasonably, "I'll be fine as soon as I take other medicines, but I've been taking yours for three days and still look like this!"
The doctor thought to himself, if this is the case, why don't you ask someone else to see you? What are you doing here?
"Are you thinking in your mind why I didn't go find someone else to look at?" Dui stood up, blew his nose again and threw it on the ground, then raised his feet and wiped his hands on his shoes, "That's because those guys are now
Close the door when you see me, as if I am a tiger that can eat people!"
The doctor frowned, feeling that the guy in front of him was still self-aware.
"I have no choice, I can only run to you!" Dumb blew his nose again, this time he grabbed the tissue in front of the doctor, wiped it, and threw it to the ground, "You help prescribe the medicine, this time the medicine will be more focused!
The more, the faster things get better!”
The doctor nodded quickly, "Okay, okay! I will follow your instructions!"
He immediately began to prescribe medicine for Ah-Dai. Seeing this, Ah-Dai stopped using his nose-blowing magic, sniffed his nose and waited for the receipt to be issued to get the medicine.
Just then---
Winter winter winter!
Someone knocked on the door.
Creak, the door opened, and an Indian-looking man came in, glanced at the consulting room, and then smiled and said to the doctor who was prescribing medicine: "Dear Dr. Li, have you thought about it? I am buying a large amount of your penicillin.
I would pay cash if I could!”
When he heard about the cash purchase of penicillin, Dumb's ears suddenly pricked up, because the Xie family still has five million worth of penicillin at home and has no place to dispose of it!
These penicillins were purchased from the United States by Xie Xi when he set up a trap for Lee's Shipping Company. At that time, he thought that Lee's would not be able to deliver the goods, but he did not expect that the other party's cargo ship docked smoothly in the end and delivered the goods!
It can be said that the Xie family shot themselves in the foot.
For this reason, Xie Xi and the third lady Xie Bingqian were scolded by their father Xie Shihao.
Dr. Li, who was prescribing medicine, raised his head when he heard this and said: "I'm sorry, these medicines are not under my control. Even if I want to sell them, I am powerless!"
The Indian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. You can act as an introducer. I will give you an introduction fee. As long as the transaction is successful, you will receive a kickback!"
Dr. Li was immediately concerned, glanced at Dumb who was still in the consulting room, coughed hurriedly, and said to the Indian: "Please wait a moment! I'm done here----"
The Indian quickly made an OK gesture, retracted his head, and closed the door.
Dui was not happy anymore and looked at Dr. Li sideways: "I said, what are you doing?"
"Ahem, it's nothing."
"Nothing? I've heard it all. He wants to buy your penicillin--if you don't want me to spread the word, just tell me clearly!" Dui rolled up his sleeves and threatened.
Dr. Li struggled for a while, then sighed: "The specific thing is like this..."
He immediately explained the cause and effect of the incident.
It turned out that the Indian was called "Roger Khan" and he was a pharmaceutical purchaser from India.
India is a magical country. You can cure your illnesses by drinking Ganges River water. However, India's pharmaceutical industry, especially generic drugs, is very developed, and these generic drugs are also sold around the world and are known as "high quality and low price".
Now there is a plague in India, and a batch of anti-inflammatory drugs is urgently needed for emergency response.
Roger Khan is a pharmaceutical dealer and a businessman, and he saw business opportunities in this plague.
For him, penicillin is a good thing. Although medical accidents may occur during use, it can also save many people, especially these Indians who are very Buddhist. Even drinking Ganges water can cure diseases and eating cow dung can lead to immortality. If you are not old, let alone take special medicines like penicillin.
Roger Khan knew that there was a ban on penicillin in Thailand, and many drug stores were hoarding large amounts of penicillin. He planned to purchase these penicillins, package them well, change their names, etc., and sell them as high-priced drugs.
Dr. Li's hospital stocked up on penicillin worth over 100,000 yuan, and Roger Khan set his sights on it and insisted on purchasing it.
"This is roughly what happened." After Dr. Li finished speaking, he said to Master Dumb, "But you also know that penicillin is a contraband here and its sale is prohibited. I will be in trouble if someone finds out, so I ask you to Hold your hand high..."
Dumb didn't have time to listen to Dr. Li's begging for mercy at the moment. He held his chin and thought, this Indian man is really a treasure that fell from the sky. If I can pull the strings and sell the five million worth of penicillin in the hands of the third lady... wouldn't it be so? A great achievement?
Ah-Dai started to think too much. If he sold it, the third lady would definitely praise him gently: "Ah-Dai, you are really good!"
Touching his head: "Ah-Dai, you are awesome!"
"Haha!" Dumb laughed out loud.
Dr. Li was frightened by Dumb's reaction: "Why...are you laughing?"
Dumb came back to his senses, "I'm laughing at your mother! If you don't want to die, introduce me to that Indian guy!"
"ah?!"
"Ah what? Hurry up!"
…
"Third sister, to tell you the truth, father has actually made it very clear!" In the Xie family villa, Xie Second Young Master Xie Xi came to his sister Xie Bingqian's room with one hand in his pocket, "I will still have to take over the Xie family's business in the future. , As for the eldest brother, he will concentrate on his official career."
"What about me?" Xie Bingqian stood up with a cup of coffee and looked at her second brother who was wandering around her room.
"You? Of course you are getting married!" Xie Xi walked to the piano and sat down, opened the piano cover, and touched the keyboard with his fingers one by one, making a sweet tinkling sound.
Xie Bingqian smiled: "I don't object to my father leaving the family business to you. The question is, can you do it?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Xi turned and glanced at her sister.
"You know what it means best! To put it nicely, you came back from the United States to visit relatives. Didn't you fail in the computer business there and lose to that man named Bill Gates?"
"So what? Victory or defeat is a common thing in military affairs." Xie Xi, instead of being angry, smiled, played the keys with his fingers, and a song "Blue Danube" poured out.
Xie Bingqian walked over and stood next to the piano: "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to protect our Xie family's many companies..." Her tone was full of sarcasm and ridicule.
