Chapter 293: There is no benefit in being clever, let's compare
"He's so young, how capable can he be? I don't believe it." Deputy Director Yang's daughter didn't believe it at all.
"You are too ambitious, and you always look down on your peers. Do you know who invited these American experts? It was Dr. Li. His story is quite touching. His girlfriend had leukemia, but he never gave up and even tried his best to invite the top blood disease expert in the United States to treat his girlfriend."
"Oh, and he was also the one who discovered that I had hemophilia."
Deputy Director Yang recounted Li Quan's deeds, his words full of praise.
"It turns out he is so amazing. You can't judge a person by his appearance. I always thought that amazing doctors were all old men with white beards and old ladies with white hair."
Her words made Deputy Director Yang and Dean Tan laugh.
The three of them gradually walked away and their voices could no longer be heard.
Li Quan couldn't help but shake his head. He really didn't think he was that great.
Turned and walked into laboratory number four.
Professor Aixen and his team were busy at work.
Some were busy analyzing blood samples, while others were researching and testing Sophie's genetic sequence. They worked rigorously, with clear division of labor and tacit cooperation.
This is a very good team.
"Hi, Professor Aixen!" Li Quan greeted with a smile.
"Li, Gu's Moling!" Aixen also greeted Li Quan with a smile.
Some team members were concentrating on their research, while others looked up, smiled and nodded to Li Quan.
Or just wave and say “Hi!”
"Did everyone get used to the place last night?" Li Quan asked with concern.
"Very good! Li, your hospitality is very thoughtful and warm." Professor Aixen gave him a thumbs up.
In the eyes of Professor Aixen and others, all the hospitality was handled by Li Quan. They would not be grateful to Huier Hospital, but only to Li Quan.
Li Quan couldn't help feeling ashamed. In this matter, he had taken great advantage of the hospital.
But Wheeler Hospital also benefited greatly.
They took the opportunity to make a lot of publicity, saying that the top medical professor in the United States led a team to visit Weil Hospital to exchange medical skills, and that Weil Hospital had made remarkable achievements in many medical fields, attracting American experts to learn from it, etc.
Li Quan casually glances at today's newspapers or TV news, and he can almost always find reports about foreign experts visiting the Weller Hospital to exchange medical skills.
This wave of news popularity is enough to cause a surge in Huier Hospital's business volume.
The benefits that Huier Hospital gained from this publicity are inestimable. The cost of entertaining American experts is nothing compared to the benefits Huier Hospital gained.
"Professor Aixen, have you come up with any results?" Li Quan asked.
"Not so fast. The equipment here is relatively old, and some work will take us a lot longer. For example, testing for genetic defects is at least several times slower than the testing in our laboratories in the United States. But the results will be available by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. After detecting Miss Sophie's immune deficiency, we will immediately develop the corresponding biologically active reagents."
"When the time comes, we will need you and your teacher to cooperate with us to overcome the difficulties."
Professor Aixen and his team study bioactive agents for the treatment of leukemia, which are among the most advanced therapeutic drugs.
It has not yet been fully developed.
He would take the initiative to ask Li Quan for help, and he estimated that the difficulties he would encounter must be of hellish level.
"As long as we can help, that's fine."
Li Quan nodded in agreement.
It was just that Professor Aixen wanted Li Quan's teacher to help as well, and he had high hopes for him. It was all because Dean Tan was too ambitious and boasted in front of the American experts.
As a result, Li Quan doesn’t know how to help cover up this lie.
"Li, Director Yang just came to me and asked me to help him and his daughter treat hemophilia. He promised to pay me one million yuan in medical fees." Professor Aixen actually told Li Quan such a confidential matter .
It seems that he really regards Li Quan as a friend.
At least be honest.
"That's great. Did you get the money?" Li Quan had no objection to this matter.
It’s just that Deputy Director Yang is quite dishonest.
Yesterday, he came to ask Li Quan to help him and his daughter. Then, he turned around and secretly asked Dean Tan for help, even spending up to one million yuan in medical fees to ask American experts to help him and his daughter.
Li Quan also wanted to see whether American experts had made any major breakthroughs in the treatment of hemophilia.
At least in the country, hemophilia is still a disease that requires lifelong medication. Prevention is the only way to treat this disease.
If you wait until it breaks out, you'll be in trouble.
I heard that a drug that can cure the disease with one injection has been developed and is undergoing clinical trials. However, this rumor has been around for several years and there is still no definite news.
The explanation is very suspenseful.
Some drug research and development companies, often due to lack of funds, deliberately create gimmicks in order to raise funds.
Then after tinkering with it for a year or two, they still failed to come up with a drug that satisfied investors.
In the end, it will end in vain.
"As long as I agree, he will transfer the money to the account I specify. But the main reason I came to China this time is to exchange medical skills with you, and also to help your girlfriend treat leukemia, so I want to ask for your opinion first."
It certainly requires a lot of money for Aixen to lead a team to do research and development.
He was very tempted to earn one million by treating two hemophilia patients.
It's really like picking up money.
He first sought Li Quan's opinion, which was also a kind of respect and sincerity to Li Quan.
"You can make your own decisions on such matters in the future. To be honest, I am very grateful that you brought your team across the ocean and put down all your work to help my girlfriend treat her illness. I would be very happy if you could make some money in China and return."
Li Quan invited people to come, and apart from paying for their food, accommodation, and air tickets, he did not pay a penny for the medical fees.
I really feel sorry about it.
"Okay then. I'll inform Director Yang later that I'm willing to take on this business."
Aixen looked at a business card on the table.
It was Deputy Director Yang’s business card.
"Professor Aixen, can I ask you a question?" Li Quan asked after hesitating for a moment.
"certainly!"
Aixen nodded.
"Can hemophilia be cured in the United States now?" Li Quan learned that there is a way to treat hemophilia in the childhood blood disease treatment course.
It's a little simpler than treating leukemia.
It's not a 100% cure. It can only cure most of them.
According to Qian Yi's experience, only a few types of hemophilia are incurable. Deputy Director Yang and his daughter have leukemia, which has a high chance of being cured by specialized treatment for childhood hemophilia.
However, Deputy Director Yang was being clever and secretly sought treatment from American experts without Li Quan's knowledge. Naturally, Li Quan would not take the initiative to treat Deputy Director Yang and his daughter.
"We have a new drug developed in the United States that has a 9.57 percent chance of being cured. I have already told Director Yang about the risks, and he agreed."
Aixen is very open and honest in its work, and even the exact value of the cure rate is announced without reservation.
If it were a deceptive American doctor like Hong Yanjun or Robert, he would probably exaggerate the effectiveness of the new drug.
Li Quan nodded, and had a general understanding of the medical technology in the United States.
The medical technology in the United States is indeed much more advanced than that in China.
This must be acknowledged.
But if you say that the United States is many years ahead of China, that is nonsense.
Take the treatment of leukemia for example. The US's treatment concept is indeed at the forefront of the world. That's all. So far, Aixen and his team have not been able to develop a biologically active agent that can cure leukemia.
At best, it is only seven or eight years more advanced than China.
In addition, the latest drug for treating hemophilia in the United States has a cure rate of 9.57%, which is equivalent to one in ten hemophilia patients being cured.
In this area, it is also more advanced than China.
So far, there is no news of any pharmaceutical company in China developing a drug that can completely cure hemophilia.
Even if such a drug is really developed, it is still in the clinical trial stage.
It is undeniable that China also lags behind the United States in terms of drugs to treat hemophilia.
So, there is definitely a gap.
"Li, does Chinese medicine have any prescription that can cure hemophilia?" asked Axen.
"have!"
Li Quan nodded directly. No matter how hard he tried to hide his weaknesses, he couldn't weaken the country's prestige.
"I wonder what the cure rate of traditional Chinese medicine is? I guess it must be ridiculously low, otherwise Director Yang wouldn't have to spend a million dollars to use our American medicine for treatment."
Aixen has a very high IQ and is quite shrewd.
As he had deduced, China currently had no specific medicine to cure hemophilia. They could only control the disease and focus on prevention.
But it's different now.
Li Quan learned the specialized medical skills to treat childhood blood diseases, thus filling the gap in the treatment of hemophilia in China.
It may even surpass the United States by several decades or even hundreds of years.
The latest hemophilia drug in the US has a cure rate of only 9.57%. Li Quan specializes in treating childhood hemophilia, and his acupuncture and moxibustion combined with prescriptions have a cure rate of over 90%.
The cure rate is more than nine times higher than that of the United States.
Isn't this a hundred years ahead of its time?
"Professor Aixen, we Chinese have one greatest characteristic. Do you know what it is?"
Li Quan did not argue with Aixen.
Instead, he asked with a smile.
"What is it?"
“Keep a low profile!”
Li Quan replied indifferently.
The Chinese people are simple, hardworking and low-key, which is a characteristic that has been influenced and nurtured by Confucianism for thousands of years.
Look at foreigners, most of them are just shouting when they have some ability, thinking they are the best in the world and looking down on everyone.
Although China is not the most powerful and advanced country in the world now.
But in history, it has been ahead of the world many times.
When has China ever been proud? Not even once. China has always maintained friendship with its neighbors, never bullied weak countries, and never feared strong countries.
In prosperous times, all nations came to pay tribute.
If some countries that think they are powerful dare to offend, then "those who openly offend the mighty Han will be punished even though they are far away."
At this moment, even though Li Quan had traditional Chinese medicine treatments that were more advanced than the hemophilia drugs in the United States, he still kept a low profile and did not argue with Professor Aixen.
I never showed off how great my medical skills are.
"Li, what you mean is that China's traditional Chinese medicine is more effective in treating hemophilia than our latest drugs in the United States?" Professor Aixen understood the deep meaning of Li Quan's words.
"Whether it is really effective or not, it is not up to you or me to decide. It only counts if the patient is cured."
Li Quan said with a smile.
"Good!"
He gave Li Quan a thumbs up, and then a hint of competitiveness appeared on his face.
"Let's have a chance to compare and see whether the medicine from the United States is more powerful or the traditional Chinese medicine from your country is more powerful. Is that okay?"
"As you wish, I am happy to accept this competition."
Li Quan did not refuse.
When you invite someone to exchange medical skills, you have to come up with something decent to share.
It's impossible to hide everything.
"Li, we have a deal! I will treat Director Yang and his daughter, and you find other patients. We'll see the results in a week." Aixen and Li Quan high-fived, and the first competition between them began.
…
After coming out of Laboratory No. 4, Li Quan decided to talk to Director Qin.
When we made the bet just now, I agreed on impulse.
Only now did I remember that I did not have the qualifications to practice medicine independently, and this matter needed the approval of Director Qin of the Hematology Department.
When he came to the office of the director of the Hematology Department where Director Qin was.
I found out that Director Qin was not there.
"Doctor Li, are you looking for our director?"
A female doctor in her twenties asked politely.
"Yes!" Li Quan nodded .
"Director Qin is in Ward 3 of the Pediatric Inpatient Building. The little girl in Bed 27 just accidentally hit her forehead and is bleeding profusely. Director Qin rushed over to deal with it."
"Okay, thank you!"
Li Quan went straight to the pediatric inpatient building.
He was a little puzzled. Isn't Director Qin the director of the Department of Hematology?
Why did you go to the pediatric department?
As soon as I arrived at the corridor of the inpatient building, I heard the crying of a little girl.
This is the pediatric inpatient area, full of children suffering from various diseases.
In Ward 3, Director Qin was cleaning a little girl's wound and then suturing it to stop the bleeding. However, the blood could not be stopped and kept oozing out.
The bleeding wasn't heavy, but it just wouldn't stop.
When Li Quan saw the little girl, he felt that she looked familiar.
Recalling it carefully, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.
"Isn't this the little girl who has leukemia?" Li Quan had just learned the technique of diagnosis by observation for young children, and the first person he diagnosed was this little girl.
After not seeing this little girl for over a month, she has become skinny, her face is as pale as wall ash, and her whole vitality is dull.
If diagnosed using Li Quan's visual diagnosis technique, this is a sign that life is about to end.
In the ward, besides Director Qin, Professor Xie from the Pediatric Department, Qin Shuang and others were also present.
Li Quan stood at the door and looked around, and was immediately discovered.
"Doctor Li, are you looking for someone?" Qin Shuang smiled sweetly when she saw Li Quan.
She is an elite among young pediatricians, and was even trained by Professor Xie as his disciple.
"Uh... I want to talk to Director Qin about something. I heard that Director Qin came to the pediatric ward, so I came to see him." Li Quan walked into the ward.
"Doctor Li, is there anything urgent?"
Director Qin is trying to find a way to stop the little girl's bleeding. He has used blood coagulation drugs, but the effect is still not good.
This kind of medicine is not used too often for fear of causing blood clots.
The little girl's bleeding continued, indicating that the number of platelets in her blood had dropped to an alarming level.
Her condition deteriorated too quickly.
I'm afraid it won't be long before I die.
Li Quan was very sad to see this, this is the future flower of the motherland. The child is too young, it is really pitiful.
His treatment for childhood blood disorders was effective for Sophie's condition.
Theoretically, it should have some effect on this little girl.
At least you can give it a try.
