The arrogance of Americans made both Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore insist on their views of "lung cancer".
But the cunning Japanese doctor Yuki Konan holds the principle of not being offended by three people. Like a grassroots, he is right here, yes is right there, and his position is ambiguous.
However, Nango Saburo seemed to have grasped at straws and insisted that his wife was not terminally ill and there was still a glimmer of hope.
How to convince the other party has become a difficulty.
In fact, the best way at this time is to do a needle biopsy. Once the test is done, it will be clear at a glance whether it is cancer, tuberculosis or inflammation.
However, the patient's current physical condition is very weak. The 160-cm-tall old lady currently weighs only 38 kilograms. There are a lot of arrows on various test indicators, and there is obviously no candidate for puncture.
Even if you bite the bullet and get a puncture, if a malignant tumor is punctured and the cancer cells spread, it will still be a dead end.
If puncture cannot be performed, the risk of surgery will be even greater.
Nango Saburo asked weakly: "Lin Sang, what if my wife has tuberculosis? You should have medicine to cure it, right?"
Americans are stubborn, and he, Lin Sanqi, is equally stubborn. He nodded with certainty and said:
"The blood vessels and bronchi within the lesion are not deformed or thickened, and there are satellite lesions around it. It is better to consider inflammation or tuberculosis."
"Farke, how is this possible?"
Professor Theodore couldn't help it anymore and started to spray:
"Lin, just because you are an expert in tuberculosis, you cannot treat all diseases as tuberculosis. If this case is not lung cancer, I will eat all these information films."
Professor Anthony also shook his head:
"Lin, believe me, I am an expert in pulmonology. I have handled tens of thousands of cases of lung cancer, so our judgment will not be wrong. In a situation like Mrs. Nanxiang's, even surgery is no longer possible. What do you think, Dr. Xiao Nan? ”
Konan Yukishu scratched his head:
"I think this, lung cancer, and tuberculosis cannot be ruled out. At the same time, inflammatory pseudotumor and fungal pneumonia are also possible. Which one is specific, we need specific analysis..."
Everyone at the scene gave him a blank look, thinking that what he said was completely nonsense.
Lin Sanqi was not in a hurry and directly drew an anatomy diagram of the lungs online:
"Everyone, let me analyze it for you:
This case is a peripheral lung mass-like shadow with satellite lesions around it. The lesion does not have an obvious sense of expansion but a strong sense of contraction, and the lesion has obvious necrosis. However, the wall of the hole is not thick, and there is a long cord on the side of the lesion and the pleura, which is not like a bell mouth like a pleural depression;
Furthermore, there is the bronchial crawling sign. The so-called bronchial tree crawling sign means that the lesions generally grow in the periphery, forming soft tissue nodules or masses, and have a tendency to grow toward the hilus along the bronchial vascular bundle near the hilar side. Therefore the outer part is larger than the inner part.
Let me repeat: if there are punctate calcifications, low-density, disseminated satellite lesions, air bronchial signs, and local pleural thickening, we should first consider tuberculosis! ”
Professor Anthony looked at the anatomy diagram on the paper and still shrugged:
"Chen, I think you still can't convince me based on these alone, and you can't prove the correctness of your point of view right away. You can't operate or puncture."
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, you can't do anything about it, but I can do something about it.
As long as he serves this Japanese chaebol well and cures his wife's incurable diseases, isn't that a lot of money? Can you still bring glory to the country?
"Mr. Nanxiang, where is your wife now? It's best to come over. I want to conduct further inspections."
Professor Theodore was unconvinced again:
"Lin, there are so many X-rays and so many inspection reports. Everything can be done and everything should be done. Do you want to do further bullshit inspections?"
Lin Sanqi pretended to be cool: "I need to do a CT scan."
"CT?"
The two American doctors were confused again. Why was it a concept they had never heard of?
"What the hell is CT?"
"CT, the full name is ComputedTomography, is a new type of computed tomography that can better determine the condition of lung diseases."
Lin Sanqi knew that if he wanted to scare these American people and make the local wealthy people pay their bills, he had to come up with something eye-catching.
There is nothing more eye-catching than CT, a new type of examination equipment.
Don't ask where CT came from. If you ask, it was invented at an overseas base and is still in the laboratory stage. Am I going to tell you that it is time travel?
Professor Theodore said angrily: "Okay, Lin, I want to see your so-called latest technology."
Professor Anthony thought of the advanced instruments in the laboratory, and wondered if this Chinese doctor had any other tricks up his sleeve? So my interest suddenly increased.
Nango Saburo was very excited and immediately asked his secretary to go to the hotel to pick up his wife.
Leaders Cheng and Jing pulled Lin Sanqi aside and asked anxiously:
"Comrade Sanqi, you can't use this old lady as an experiment. Let me tell you, this Mr. Nanxiang is not only the president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, in fact he is very important to our country.
< br>
Because we are blocked, we do not have independent foreign trade rights. Many import and export trades are represented by the Japan Cotton Association. If you put Mr. Nanxiang's wife to death, once the Japanese guests blame her, it will be a great loss to our country. ”
Lin Sanqi didn’t take it seriously:
"Two leaders, you should be more optimistic and think this way. If our hospital cures Mrs. Nanxiang's incurable disease, will their Japanese cotton company be more grateful to us and sell us some sensitive equipment?"< br>
Leader Jing thought so too, but leaders are all pessimists:
"Comrade Sanqi, are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, the arrow has to be fired anyway, so you have to work hard."
Half an hour later, Mrs. Nanxiang's car drove directly into Dongyue Temple through the side door. This Toyota Crown car instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Mrs. Nanxiang was pushed into the X-ray room in a wheelchair by the staff. Under Pan Ye's command, Mrs. Nanxiang lay quietly on a special hospital bed.
Others stood outside the radiation-proof glass window, wanting to see what kind of examination the young dean wanted to do.
After the old lady lay down, Lin Sanqi pushed a strange machine over. There was a large O-shaped machine on the top and a movable base on the bottom.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye "stuffed" half of Mrs. Nanxiang's body into the O-shaped machine, and the two quickly came to the operation room.
Lin Sanqi picked up the microphone and directed to the old lady inside:
"Mrs. Nanxiang, please take a deep breath and hold it now~~"
Everyone saw that the donut-like machine began to make a whirring sound, "Okay, now exhale, breathe normally, and then hold your breath..."
Ten minutes later, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye ran into the filming studio again and helped the old lady up:
"Mrs. Nanxiang, how do you feel now?"
"Thank you Lin Sang, I don't feel uncomfortable at all. I will trouble you more about my condition."
"No trouble, no trouble, Xiao Yezi, please accompany Mrs. Nanxiang to an air-conditioned area in the laboratory to rest for a while. I'll take a look at the CT film first."
When Lin Sanqi returned to the crowd again, she was holding a laptop in her hand.
Both Americans and Japanese were stunned. Ultra-thin notebooks are definitely a black technology in this era.
On the contrary, several leaders of China did not react much because they did not know how far foreign technology had developed and thought that this kind of laptop computers had become popular abroad.
Just like air conditioning.
After Lin Sanqi connected the CT data, he began to export the films, and then started to check them on the computer.
X-rays are taken vertically, so you can see the skeleton of certain parts of the human body.
CT is like transverse slices, so the patterns seen are completely different from X-rays. Ordinary people can also see something about X-rays. For example, it is clear at a glance where there is a tumor or where a bone is broken.
Because CT is a cross-section, people without medical knowledge generally cannot understand it at all.
So Professor Anthony, Professor Theodore, and Professor Yukiki Kokusu, these three top doctors were all scratching their heads in anxiety at this time.
"Lin, your image is too strange. How did you read the film?"
"Yes, Lin, I don't understand at all. What is this piece of white? What is this little bit of white?"
Lin Sanqi thought to herself, you just don't understand, I just want to scare you today.
"Professors, don't be anxious. Look, you can clearly see on this CT film that the upper lobe of the right lung is close to the horizontal fissure. There are obvious satellite lesions. The few white spots you see are surrounded by half a circle. .
Calcification and small cavities can also be seen, and calcification of lymph nodes can be seen in the right hilus. The lesion is adhered to the adjacent pleura. The liquefied part of the enhanced lesion is not enhanced. The shape of adjacent blood vessels is still normal and no obvious deformation is seen.
This video makes it very clear that this is an atypical case of tuberculosis, not lung cancer. ”
Professor An Xixi and Professor Theodore looked at each other with shock and confusion in their eyes, because they didn't understand anything.
Professor Xiaoshu Yuki's eyes rolled around:
"Lin Sang, this seems to be an amazing invention. Is this machine invented by your country? Where can it be used specifically?"
Lin Sanqi answered without turning her head while reading the film:
"Then CT is very useful. Ordinary X-rays are mainly used to examine bones, such as fractures. CT is suitable for examining internal organs and soft tissues, such as the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis.
But you don’t need to ask any more. This CT is still in the laboratory confidentiality stage. If the distinguished Mr. Nanxiang hadn’t come to visit, we wouldn’t have taken it out easily. "Nanxiang Saburo heard this and was very excited. He quickly stood up and bowed slightly:
"Lin Sang, thank you for your friendship. I will keep it in my heart. I wonder how my wife's condition is?"
Lin Sanqi pointed at the lesion and said seriously, regardless of whether others understood it or not:
"Now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Oh, I want to hear the good news first."
"The good news is that Mrs. Nanxiang's condition is most likely not lung cancer, but tuberculosis."
Nanxiang Saburo's face was obviously happy after hearing this.
The Japanese staff at the back were all extremely excited, with exaggerated expressions and movements. There was nothing I could do, the boss was watching, and they had to pretend to be excited.
"Lin Sang, what's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that Mrs. Nanxiang's physical condition is very bad. She can't bear the conventional surgery at all. Because it was delivered late, part of Mrs. Nanxiang's lung tissue has become necrotic and needs to be removed as soon as possible. This is the contradiction."
Nango Saburo looked at Xiaokusu Yuki.
Dr. Xiao Nan also nodded slightly:
"Yes, whether it's lung cancer or tuberculosis, my wife has no indication for surgery. Otherwise, she might not be able to handle a thoracotomy."
When Nango Saburo heard this, his face fell again, and he looked at the two American doctors with pleading eyes.
Professor Theodore originally disagreed with Lin Sanqi’s judgment, and now he felt unhappy, so he just waved his hand:
"Don't count on us. Your wife can only take conservative treatment now, so the difference between tuberculosis and lung cancer is actually of little significance."
Nango Saburo sat down on the chair and murmured to himself sadly:
"Is there really no way out? Has the deadline really come?"
Lin Sanqi jumped out to sing the opposite tune at this time:
"Mr. Theodore, who said that identification is of little significance? If it is lung cancer, there is a high probability that there is no need to continue treatment, but now we are facing a case of tuberculosis. On the premise that we can cure tuberculosis, how can we let the patient die? ?
Professor Theodore sneered:
"Lin, I didn't expect that you are also a braggart. Of course, you can also succeed to convince me that my promise is still valid. If you can cure Mrs. Nanxiang's disease, I will eat all the medical records and films! ”
Lin Sanqi is not used to these American experts.
Now they are asking for help from Lin Sanqi, and it is not Lin Sanqi who relies on others, so their attitude must be tougher and be as aggressive as they should be:
"Theodore, I think we can change the bet. Let's not make a bet like eating film, which is obviously impossible."
To put it bluntly, film is plastic. How to eat plastic? Medical records are just paper after all. At worst, they can be eaten by boiling them and adding some ketchup.
The genes of Americans are full of adventurous spirit. Once you say you want to bet, Americans will not feel sleepy.
Professor Theodore suddenly smiled:
"Lin, I agreed to this bet. Tell me, how to bet?"
Nanxiang Saburo became angry when he heard this, thinking that my dear wife's life was used to make a bet for you? It's a pity that the person in front of me is an American father, an internationally renowned professor, and he is not easy to offend.
But his attitude at this time was naturally on Lin Sanqi's side. Because if Lin Sanqi wins, it means that his wife is alive.
Lin Sanqi knew that these top doctors in the United States were not short of money, but he was relatively short of money in 1961. After all, so many employees in the hospital depended on him to support them alone.
"Theodore, if this patient has lung cancer, I will give you $1 million. If it is tuberculosis, how about you give me $1 million?"
Hiss~~~
Leader Jing, Leader Cheng, and Minister Li all took a breath of air. One million U.S. dollars was enough to create the richest man in China. In their eyes, this was a sky-high price bet.
Nanxiang Saburo was very pleased after hearing this, thinking that this young dean from China had a vision.
If their bet was only $100, then Saburo Nango would jump up. What would happen? Is the life of my Nanxiang family worth this little money?
Professor Theodore laughed. One million US dollars must be a huge sum of money, but to them it is just a small amount.
The key is that Professor Theodore did not think that his side would lose, so he took $1 million from the Chinese for nothing. He liked to see that the Chinese were so poor that they even pawned their pants.
After all, he is a top professor in the United States, and his IQ is definitely not a factor.
Professor Theodore looked at Lin Sanqi suspiciously at this time: "Lin, 1 million US dollars? Did I hear that right? The question is, I can come up with 1 million US dollars, can you come up with it?"
Lin Sanqi was unhappy:
"Aren't you looking down on someone? Wife, go to the safe in my office. There is a black goose down bag. Let your American friends open their eyes."
The safe has a password, and it traveled back in time in 2014. No one in this era can open it, and only Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye know the password.
After a while, Pan Ye quickly fetched the black goose down bag.
If it were another woman, she would be so angry that she would twist her husband's ears and scold him. Is there something wrong with his brain? spendthrift? Don't want to live anymore?
But for a good girl like Pan Ye, she will support whatever her husband says without any hesitation.
"Sanqi, give it..."
"My wife, thank you for your hard work. Go and get some fresh air. Come on, Theodore, let me show you what it means to be a Chinese tycoon. I only need a piece of cloth on my head now. Hum hum."
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he took a fruit plate and poured out the contents of the goose down bag, making a clanging sound.
The Chinese, Americans, and Japanese who were watching all stared with their eyes wide open, because there were dozens of large, bright diamonds on the plate, each weighing more than 20 carats.
When Leader Jing and Leader Cheng took a look, they both smiled and said softly:
"This kid has hidden so many diamonds, no wonder he dares to contract the hospital."
Minister Li next to her was also a warlord's wife, and she was a woman, so she had no resistance to such shiny things.
"Oh my god, where did Lin Sanqi get so many diamonds? How much does this add up to? No wonder he said he doesn't love money. It turns out he is really rich."
Nango Saburo was also secretly surprised at this time. In his mind, China was a poor and backward country. The people in this country could not have their own private property, and each one was poorer than the other.
But why does the young dean in front of him have so many diamonds? Could it be that there is a mine at home?
The key is how dare he show off in front of his leaders if he has money? Isn't he afraid that these diamonds will be confiscated?
At the same time, Nango Saburo was also complaining secretly. It seemed that the cost of his wife's surgery would have to rise. A few air conditioners and a few ambulances alone were far from enough to satisfy the appetite of the Chinese people.
Lin Sanqi didn't know that his net worth had risen again invisibly.
Professor Theodore was doubting his own eyes, so he picked up a diamond and shined it in the sun:
"Oh my God, diamonds, Lin, where did you get so many diamonds? These are world-class in terms of color, clarity, and cut. If I had such a bag of diamonds, the little nurses in our hospital would definitely be willing to Satisfies all my postures”
While speaking, Professor Theodore glanced at his partner quietly, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.
"Lin, I think your bet is too conservative. It's 1 million US dollars. Who do you look down on? Let's increase the stakes if possible. How about 5 million US dollars? If I lose, I will give you 5 million US dollars. If you lose, Yes, this bag of diamonds belongs to me.”
Lin Sanqi smiled angrily: "Theodore, this bag of diamonds is worth at least 10 million U.S. dollars. You actually want to exchange it for 5 million U.S. dollars?"
In fact, Lin Sanqi laughed to death in her heart. The Americans were indeed hairy monsters, too insidious and greedy. Unfortunately, in the end, they lost both their wives and their troops.
Even if he loses, Lin Sanqi will only lose a bag of Henan diamonds, and the wholesale market will only cost 20,000 yuan.
Professor Theodore thought it was a $5 million bet on diamonds worth $10 million. In fact, the real "exchange rate" was a $5 million bet on 20,000 yuan.
Seeing that Lin Sanqi was unmoved, Professor Theodore became anxious and directly used the provocation method:
"Lin, are you scared? Are you scared in front of your boss, wife, and Japanese guests? Don't you dare? Aren't you very confident in your diagnosis?"
Lin Sanqi slammed the table at this time and said angrily: "Okay, I'll bet with you!"
"Comrade Lin Sanqi!!!"
Leaders Cheng, Jing, and Minister Li stopped them in unison: "No nonsense, do you still have organizational discipline?"
At this time, Lin Sanqi seemed like a young and foolish person who was obsessed with losing a bet and did not listen to any advice:
"Theodore, I made a bet with you, but in order to prevent one of us from regretting it, I will give the diamond to Mr. Nanxiang and let the Japanese guest act as a third party."
Seeing that Lin Sanqi was so confident, Nanxiang Saburo was ready to support Lin Sanqi for the sake of his wife:
"Yo Xi, I will take the responsibility for this third party, and I guarantee fairness and justice!"
Professor Theodore walked out of the conference room without saying a word, and came back with a check in his hand:
"Lin, this is a check for 5 million from Citibank. If I lose, the 5 million US dollars will belong to you."
Lin Sanqi laughed loudly after hearing this: "Thank you, Lao Tie, for the rocket sent from the United States~~~" (End of Chapter)
