"Mr. Nanxiang, this is our outpatient area. We have now opened 16 outpatient departments. We strictly follow the requirements for infectious disease prevention and control, one person per clinic room..."
Lin Sanqi walked with the Japanese guests and introduced them.
In fact, not only Lin Sanqi found it strange, but also several senior leaders found it strange. They felt that even if you, a Japanese guest, wanted to visit, you should go to places of interest such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, right?
If you really don’t want to travel, then you should go to large enterprises such as the No. 1 State-owned Cotton Spinning Factory in Peiping and the Hongxing Steel Factory, right?
Why do we have to visit the hospital?
Or an infectious disease hospital? Rich people would avoid this kind of hospital, okay?
But at this moment, since the other party generously gave out 10 ambulances, Lin Sanqi had already tasted it, thinking that there must be something he wanted from him in these small days.
The most likely possibility is that I have tuberculosis, or that a close relative of the other party has tuberculosis.
Since it is you who is asking for help from me, Lin Sanqi feels more confident, sharpening his knife, preparing to kill a few more times if he has the opportunity.
Mr. Nanxiang smiled and nodded, and asked casually:
"Lin Sang, I seem to have heard that there are American doctors attending your infectious disease hospital? Why didn't I see that?"
Lin Sanqi's eyes lit up and she thought, here it comes, the other party is indeed well prepared. Now I'm not afraid that you have any demands, I'm just afraid that you have no desires or desires, hum.
"Oh, you said it's the medical team from Harvard Medical School in the United States. It does exist. Professor Anthony is sitting in the clinic today, but he is not in this row, but over there."
Nanxiang Saburo became very interested when he heard this: "Then please Lin Sang, please take me to see it."
By this time, several big leaders behind also had a taste of it.
Being an old fox, I immediately realized that Lin Sanqi's request for 10 ambulances did not seem to be something detrimental to national dignity, but "reward".
Professor Anthony's clinic is located in the conference room renovated from the main hall of Dongyue Temple.
At this time, there were already a line of waiting patients outside. Professor Anthony was observing with an X-ray film, and the translator next to him was brought by him from the United States.
What the Americans demand is that they accept patients independently throughout the entire process, even hire translators themselves, and do not require Chinese intervention in the entire process.
On the other side, there are more than 50 college students who have just graduated and are new to the infectious disease hospital, sitting quietly next to them, holding notebooks in their hands, working as interns with foreign professors.
Lin Sanqi approached the consulting room with the Japanese, then pointed at the white man inside through the glass and said:
"Mr. Nanxiang, this is Professor Anthony from the United States. He heard that our infectious disease hospital invented a special anti-tuberculosis drug, so he came with a team to study it.
Oh, the chief physician of the inpatient department is Professor Theodore, who is also a professor at Harvard Medical School. In addition, those who operate the X-ray machine, those who perform blood tests in the laboratory department, and those who do sputum cultures are all doctoral students from Harvard University.
As a result, after having an in-depth understanding of our research and inventions, this group of American experts cried and shouted that they wanted to become ordinary doctors in our hospital.
Later, the Ministry of Health of our country gave them special approval and gave them temporary medical qualifications. In order to stay in our hospital, they also provided a sponsorship of 5 million US dollars. It was really embarrassing to have to join our research group. ”
Leader Cheng, Leader Jing, and Minister Li all twitched when they heard this.
But Nango Saburo, Konan Yuki and other Japanese people all had their eyes shining. The Japanese have a strong mentality. They did not feel that Lin Sanqi's words were offensive. Instead, they felt that the other party was emboldened.
After all, Nango Saburo was the leader of the chaebol. At this time, he glanced at Dr. Xiaonan.
Dr. Xiao Nan raised his hands to the glass to take a look, and then whispered in Nanxiang Saburo's ear:
"Mr. President, I can be sure that the doctor here is Professor Anthony. He is the vice president of the International Federation against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. We often meet during academic conferences."
Nanxiang Saburo was relieved when he heard this, thinking that this Chinese doctor really wasn't bragging.
"Five million...Five million dollars just to be a doctor? How much should I pay..."
If you really visit the infectious disease hospital, there is actually nothing to see. After all, you are just a layman, just looking at the flowers.
In order to "cry poverty", Lin Sanqi did not send these Japanese people to the laboratory.
Whether they admit it or not, the Japanese are very smart and are good at showing weakness on the surface. What if some machines are inspired by them and invented in advance?
On the contrary, Americans look down on you in their hearts, and they will show that arrogance on the surface, but it is nothing to worry about.
The visit ended in less than half an hour. It was still very hot in Peiping in July. When the group was invited into the conference room, only two electric fans were blowing and some cut watermelons were placed on the table.
The cadres here in China all wear white shirts and long pants, and the heat is already unbearable.
In order to maintain etiquette, the Japanese guests wore suits for men and business suits for women. They were all sweating profusely due to the heat. Even Saburo Nango kept asking his secretary to fan himself.
Leader Cheng felt embarrassed when he saw it, and quickly suggested:
"Mr. Nanxiang, the tour is over. If you feel it's too hot, I suggest we go back to the Chinese Hotel, which has air conditioning."
Yes, it’s not that there are no air conditioners in China, but that air conditioners are only available in a few places and only a few people can use them. One is that the price is too expensive, and the other is that the electricity is too much.
Lin Sanqi thought to herself that the State Guesthouse still has air conditioning. Except for the laboratory of the infectious disease hospital, which must use air conditioning because of its special equipment, other areas such as the inpatient department and outpatient department do not have standard fans.
(The 12 old national treasures were provided with air conditioners privately by Lin Sanqi, and the electricity bill was paid out of his own pocket)
You can still use the stove to keep warm in the winter, but you really have to carry it through in the summer.
In particular, the hospitals renovated by Dongyue Temple are almost all bungalows. When exposed to the sun, the houses look like steamers.
A few Americans are rather thieves. They hide in the laboratory after get off work every day and refuse to come out. They also make floors in the laboratory at night. On the contrary, Chinese doctors are too embarrassed to use the air conditioner.
Nango Saburo sat in his seat, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, and said with a smile:
"No, no, no, I'm also discussing the treatment of tuberculosis with doctors from China and experts from the United States. I happen to have a case in hand and would like to invite experts from both countries for a consultation."
When Leader Cheng heard the other party's request, he understood the purpose of coming to the infectious disease hospital, so he looked at Lin Sanqi:
"Comrade Sanqi, see if you can invite some American doctors to come over for consultation."
Lin Sanqi nodded and asked Bi Xinglong to make arrangements.
After a while, Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore rushed to the conference room, cursing:
"Lin, it's too hot. You Chinese people are really resistant to heat. You don't even need an electric fan in this hot summer. Lin, we decided to pay for it ourselves. Can you help install some air conditioners in our office? Oh. , and the dormitories also need to be installed.”
On July 17, 1902, American engineer Willis Carrier invented the first air conditioner.
It was first sold in department stores in 1924. By the 1950s, 90% of government agencies and hospitals in the United States had air conditioners installed. By the end of the 1950s, air conditioning had become common in residents' homes.
At this time, electric fans were not even popular in China, and air conditioners were a rare gadget that most people had never heard of.
Modern people can understand it best. When I was a child, I just lived like this without air conditioning. But if there is no air conditioning in summer now, it is estimated that many people will die from the heat in summer.
This is how easy it is to go from simplicity to luxury, and how difficult it is to go from luxury to simplicity.
Lin Sanqi was not embarrassed by the constant complaints from the American doctors. They were the ones who wanted to come anyway, and it was not him who invited them.
"Two professors, there is an old saying in China that a calm mind will naturally cool down. You should be more calm."
Professor Theodore shook his sweat, took a piece of watermelon on the table and started chewing:
"Why are you so calm? How can we see doctors and conduct scientific research in such a harsh environment? That means you Chinese people are honest. If we were in the United States, we would have destroyed the dean's office. Uh, no, you are the dean. ”
Lin Sanqi shrugged: "Don't tell me you want air conditioning, I want it too, but my strength doesn't allow it."
Nango Saburo, who was suddenly fanning himself, said:
"Lin Sang, I will provide the air conditioners. We have an air conditioner factory under our Nipian Industrial Co., Ltd. I can help you with 100 air conditioners free of charge."
Lin Sanqi almost laughed, thinking that this big fish took the bait again so easily?
Leaders Cheng and Jing were hesitant to speak. On the one hand, they did not want these air-conditioned ambulances because of the dignity of the country, which made their country very poor and wanted everything.
But on the other hand, foreign friends kindly gave it to the infectious disease hospital, and the director has not yet rejected it. How can leaders like them take over?
Now we are in a dilemma.
Only Minister Li was thinking about it again. With so many air conditioners, should we get a few of them into the ministry?
Lin Sanqi has nothing to do with facelessness. The most important thing for southerners is lining, so if you have any benefits, you'll be safe first.
"Ah, thank you so much Mr. Nanxiang. The air conditioner is indeed an urgent need for us. Look, these American experts are so excited that they are no longer in the mood to see a doctor. Hahaha, I wonder when this air conditioner will arrive? "A wealthy man like Saburo Nango with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars doesn't care at all about a few air conditioners and ambulances. These are nothing to him.
He is currently trying to please Chinese doctors and American doctors, just so that they can do their best when treating his wife.
"Lin Sang, I will immediately arrange a plane to fly the air conditioner over and install it for you as quickly as possible. In addition, to show my friendship, I have shipped a batch of advanced medical equipment from Japan, which you can completely assemble. A complete intensive care unit ”
Dr. Xiaonan added at this time:
"I'm very sorry that these equipments are second-hand because we arrived in a hurry and didn't have time to buy new equipment, but I can guarantee that these equipments are the most advanced and there is nothing better than this."
Lin Sanqi was laughing so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
Before, Professor Anthony and the others were questioning the infectious disease hospital's lack of intensive care unit and lack of rescue equipment, but now that I was drowsy, someone sent me pillows.
"What a shame, it costs you money, hehehe~~~"
Leaders Cheng and Jing both rolled their eyes, thinking that you, Lin Sanqi, were already asking when the goods would arrive, so why should you be embarrassed?
"It doesn't cost anything, it doesn't cost anything, Lin Sang, as well as Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore. I have a medical record here. Please help me with the consultation, Xiao Nanjun."
Xiaokusu Yuki immediately took out a thick medical record and a thick X-ray film from his backpack.
Professor Anthony blinked and looked at Lin Sanqi. He was actually not very willing to take action, after all, his cards were there.
As the best doctor and professor in the United States, and the vice president of an international medical association, his consultation fees are very expensive.
Others worry about the Japanese, but they Americans are the fathers of the Japanese, so there is no need to look at their faces.
Lin Sanqi coughed lightly. After receiving so many benefits, he had to be trustworthy. It was just a consultation:
"Professor Anthony, Professor Theodore, our doctor's bounden duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. Even if it is because of Mr. Nanxiang's friendship in giving you air conditioners, we should consult carefully, shouldn't we?"
Nanxiang Saburo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Lin Sang is right. This medical record belongs to my wife, who I love most in my life, so I have troubled several doctors."
The old man stood up and bowed in a standard Japanese style.
Professor Anthony saw Lin Sanqi's attitude and nodded expressionlessly: "OK, give me the medical records and films."
Doctor Xiaonan handed over the medical records with both hands and said politely:
"Hello, President Anthony, I haven't seen you for half a year and I miss you very much."
"It turns out to be Professor Xiaonan, hello, hello, long time no see. How about this, you report the medical records, and we will take a look at the film."
"Hi, Mr. Professor, and Dean Lin, the patient is a 68-year-old female. She was found to have occupied space in her lungs for more than a year when she coughed. More than a month ago, she coughed up phlegm again, and coughed up a small amount of white sticky phlegm. , accompanied by shortness of breath.
This is an X-ray we have taken every month for more than a year. In the latest one, we can find a nodule in the upper lobe of the right lung, with visible lobes and burrs, obstruction of the hilar bronchus, and obstructive pneumonia on the pleural side of the nodule. Changes, with pleural depression. ”
After Professor Anthony saw the X-ray film, he immediately came to a conclusion and handed the film to Lin Sanqi:
"The lesion runs along the bronchus, with obvious enhancement and signs of pleural depression. Professor Xiaonan, isn't this obvious lung cancer? You can't even diagnose it?"
Dr. Xiaoshu was a little embarrassed:
"This, Mr. Professor, we had doubts before, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Professor Theodore interrupted impatiently:
"There is a mass shadow in the right lung, pleural traction, and bronchial truncation. In addition, the film taken during the reexamination half a year ago is roughly similar to the recent one. Isn't it obvious that lung adenocarcinoma should be considered first?"
< br>
Nango Saburo also knew English. Hearing such a decisive diagnosis from the two American professors, he felt a chill in his heart.
Lin Sanqi had also been watching X-rays for a long time.
Then he looked at the two American professors with some suspicion. I really didn't understand whether these two professors were pretending to be stupid, or were they really stupid? As the world's top pulmonary expert, could he even see such a simple X-ray wrong?
"Professor Anthony, Professor Theodore, I suggest you take a closer look at this X-ray."
Even a fool knows what this means. Professor Anthony was stunned and a little unsure, so he took the film and started reading it again.
But Professor Theodore, who had a somewhat violent personality, was unhappy and started to roar.
Americans have always been very arrogant. They feel that they will never tolerate what they do is right, no matter whether you are the dean or the president.
"Lin, you are insulting our intelligence. Look at the film here and here. Look at this tumor. It is irregular in shape, with burrs on the edges, and round-like necrosis inside, and necrotic lesions at the edges. This is not lung cancer. What is it?”
Lin Sanqi rubbed her ears:
"Theodore, my ears are going to be deafened by you. Of course I have my own reasons for saying this. I suggest you take a closer look at the X-rays."
Professor Theodore got angry and sat back in his chair: "I won't read anymore, my diagnosis is very clear!"
Professor Anthony was more patient. He took several X-ray films and looked at them carefully over and over again. His mind was also filled with questions:
"Lin, we not only need to look at the film, but also look at the patient's clinical symptoms. If you look at the medical record, it says that the patient became increasingly weightless and lethargic after getting sick, and was also accompanied by coughing and hemoptysis. This is still consistent with the clinical manifestations of lung cancer. ”
In fact, Dr. Xiao Nan also agrees with this point of view.
But every time he said it was lung cancer, Nango Saburo couldn't accept it, so he gave another possible diagnosis: tuberculosis.
Family members often have an evasive mentality and hope that the doctor misdiagnosed the condition. However, the top doctors in the United States and Japan unanimously agreed that it was lung cancer, so they were almost inseparable.
Xiaokusu Yuki himself is also the best pulmonologist in Japan, so he is still sure of this.
Lin Sanqi took the film, pointed at a few white dots next to the suspected tumor and said:
"Look, these points, the scattered small spots and small nodular elevated shadows in the surrounding lungs, are obviously satellite lesions. It's a pity that the X-ray film was not carefully viewed. If it were a CT scan, it would be clear."
"Satellite stove? What is a satellite stove?"
Professor Anthony, Professor Theodore, and Dr. Xiao Nan were all a little confused because they had never heard of this medical concept.
Lin Sanqi continued to blink and asked weakly: "Have you never learned a satellite stove?"
The three foreign doctors all shook their heads: "I've never heard of it."
Lin Sanqi patted the table lightly and said to Bi Xinglong next to him: "Good guy, we have another paper."
No wonder these three top international doctors seriously misjudged X-rays. It turns out that there was no concept of "satellite stove" in this era.
As someone who has received modern medical education in 2014, Lin Sanqi can make a very clear diagnosis through this detail. Of course, it will be more obvious if there is an enhanced CT film.
Professor Theodore asked anxiously: "Lin, what do you mean by satellite stove?"
Lin Sanqi pointed to several places on the X-ray and explained:
"Look at these points, they appear smaller, less dense, with blurred edges and slightly patchy shadows on the film. This is actually caused by the spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to other parts through blood circulation and other channels.< br>
Mycobacterium tuberculosis continues to multiply in the body and slowly forms tiny lesions. Generally, when we see satellite lesions, we most likely think that this is a manifestation of active tuberculosis.
If left untreated, these satellite lesions may further develop into larger TB lesions. ”
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he took out a film from half a year ago and compared it with the most recent film:
"You see, in more than half a year, these satellite lesions have grown in size, but the tumors you think have not grown much."
Nango Saburo asked excitedly, like a drowning man grasping at straws:
"Lin Sang, you are saying that my wife does not have lung cancer, is that what you mean?" (End of Chapter)
