Chapter 382: Promoting trusted people and exceeding targets

In the general ward of Guang'anmen Hospital.

This is a large dormitory-style ward with an indoor area of ​​more than 30 square meters.

There are seven single beds inside. All the patients are severe diabetics, and their complications are all anthrax, which is very serious.

After several months of treatment, the condition did not improve much. It was only with the use of synthetic bovine insulin that the disease was controlled and did not progress significantly.

At the same time, fortunately, the health department had told them before that they would not have to pay for all the expenses incurred by hospitalization, and they just needed to receive treatment with peace of mind.

This will allow them to feel at ease living in Guang'anmen Hospital.

Otherwise, there would definitely be many patients who would not be able to stay here and would have to be transferred to another hospital or be discharged and go home to wait for death.

This situation underwent a welcome change at the beginning of last month.

The seven patients, including Master He's nephew, reported that they all felt that the anthrax in their feet seemed to have improved a little.

The nurses who took turns to clean their wounds every day also discovered this situation through comparison, which verified their idea.

Therefore, on the first day after the Chinese New Year, when Wang Mengde came to check on the ward, Master He's nephew couldn't wait to ask.

Seeing his expectant expression and the pricked ears of several patients around him, Wang Mengde smiled and replied:
"So far, the medicine used this time does have some effect. It seems to be a symptomatic treatment."

Before the other patient and the surrounding patients could react, he added:
“However, there is no hope of completely curing this disease. The best you can do is take medicine for a long time to make the condition improve and then maintain this state.

Moreover, we are still uncertain about the extent of the treatment, and we need to continue to observe in the future, so you should not be happy too soon. "

He is taking precautionary measures.

After all, diabetes is too complicated, and he can't find a cure in just a few months.

The best case scenario now is to prevent the anthrax complication from continuing to worsen and to achieve some improvement.

To be honest, he had never thought that he could achieve this kind of treatment effect before.

“Doctor Wang, we all know.

Before coming to Guang'anmen Hospital, we had been to many other large hospitals. Those doctors also treated us for a long time, but the final results were not as good as yours.

Besides, we all know the disease we suffer from. It is incurable, it’s just that death will come later.

There is also the complication of anthrax. If I don’t have to undergo amputation in the future, even if there is no improvement, I will be very satisfied if I can maintain my current condition.

So, Dr. Wang, please feel free to prescribe medicine for us. No matter what happens in the end, we are sincerely grateful to you.”

Master He's nephew said with gratitude.

As Master He's nephew, before he came to Guang'anmen Hospital, he relied on Master He's connections to visit the ten most famous Western medicine hospitals in Beijing.

However, those nationally renowned doctors and experts were helpless in treating his illness. Not only could his condition not get better, they couldn't even keep it from getting worse.

It was because Wang Mengde's reputation was so great that he was willing to come to Guang'anmen Hospital from time to time.

Otherwise, when Master He mentioned this matter to him, he would have directly refused.

After arriving here, at first, he was full of hope, hoping that a miracle would happen.

Gradually, as time went by, expectations turned into disappointment.

Just when he was getting a little impatient and wanted to be discharged from the hospital to go home and leave everything to fate, a turning point occurred.

After using the newly prescribed oral and topical medicines by Wang Mengde for more than ten days, the nurse suddenly told him in surprise that the hole on his foot caused by anthrax seemed to have shrunk a little.

This made him anxious, fearing that the nurse had made a mistake.

After another week, several nurses said in unison that his feet were getting better, which made him sure that he could be saved.

Finally, I don’t have to undergo amputation and become disabled.

That night, he and several other patients were completely sleepless and lay in bed, chatting until dawn.

After that, they actively cooperated with the treatment, and even when taking medicine every day, they were no longer reluctant as before, but instead urged the nurse to bring it quickly.

"Well, you must avoid certain foods, and make sure to take and use the medicines prescribed for you on time. If there is any problem, report it to the nurses in time."

Wang Mengde observed the condition of their feet, asked some questions, and then gave instructions.

"Doctor Wang, don't worry, we will definitely do as you say."

"Yes, we usually remind and supervise each other."

"Hahaha, now we have hope. We will definitely not do anything stupid. We will do whatever we are asked to do without any compromise."

"That's right. I only believe Doctor Wang now. I don't believe anyone else."

"Let us go east, never west; let us beat the dog, never chase the chicken."

In the dormitory ward, seven patients were talking at once.

Coming out of the ward, Wang Mengde walked slowly, and at the same time, he was thinking in his heart.

Although the conditions of those people have been brought under control, if they continue to take the medicine, there may be some improvement.

But he still felt a little unsure.

Fear of recurrence.

"Teacher, congratulations! Diabetes is recognized worldwide as one of the most difficult diseases to treat.

I didn’t expect you to find a treatment method. I guess it won’t be long before a special medicine appears on the market.”

Behind him, Wei Ming couldn't help but smile and spoke.

Several other students quickly joined in the discussion.

The teacher has achieved remarkable success, and as his disciples, they must have benefited from it.

"Well, you can't just say that."

After hearing his words, Wang Mengde immediately said seriously:
"Diabetes is a disease that I cannot cure now. Even in another 30 or 50 years, there may not be a cure.

Also, I'm just dealing with the complication of anthrax, and I'm not making much progress with that.

So, don’t say this kind of thing in the future, otherwise, if others hear it, it will cause misunderstanding and make people laugh at you.”

Any other time, he might have just laughed it off.

But it’s different now. I don’t know how many eyes are on him.

Once such words are heard by someone with ulterior motives, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

After all, his previous achievements were so high, and he had conquered so many difficult and complicated problems, so other people might not judge whether the words spread out were true or false.

If it was put in the newspaper and caused a misunderstanding, it would be like being roasted on a fire, which would be extremely uncomfortable.

"Teacher, we remember it."

Wei Ming and several others hurriedly replied.

Now that they thought about it, they realized the seriousness of the problem, and they were all afraid. Fortunately, no one was around when they were talking, otherwise it could have caused irreversible consequences.

"Well, be careful about what you say next time, especially when there are other people around.

Also, you must remember that there are always people who are better than you. Don’t be proud and complacent. There are definitely people in this world who are more talented than you.”

Wang Mengde tapped again, and seeing the expressions on the students' faces, they must have learned their lesson, so he changed the subject:

"By the way, you have been following me for two and a half years now. It is time for you to start preparing for your master's thesis.

Once you have a direction, I will give you some guidance when I have time next week. I can’t say for sure if you can get published in top foreign journals, but you still have hope in top domestic journals.”

last year.

Wang Mengde has published six papers in top foreign journals such as Science and Nature.

Each of these papers caused a sensation in the medical community.

Well-known scholars, experts, professors, etc. from all over the world are competing to conduct research.

As for the author, in addition to Wang Mengde's name being placed at the front, the names of his junior brothers and sisters such as Li Xiang also appeared in the second work.

Thanks to him, four of his fellow junior brothers and sisters were successfully promoted a few days ago.

As for the remaining three people, if nothing unexpected happens, promotion next year is a foregone conclusion.

Junior brother Huang Sizhong from the Beijing Gene Research Institute is also about to be promoted because of his contribution to the research on "Levofloxacin".

The country has now reached a private agreement with several foreign medical institutions.

The technology transfer of "Levofloxacin" directly brought a large amount of foreign exchange income to the country.

As the main force in the research, Huang Sizhong's name has reached the ears of several leaders in the health and family planning departments.

Wang Mengde's concern and effort for the future of his fellow junior fellow students made many medical staff in Beijing hospitals envious.

Unfortunately, they don’t have such a good senior brother.

Otherwise, with their similar talents, if they were in this position, they would be far ahead of other people of the same age.

"Yes, teacher. We discussed this together years ago. Once we have decided, we will come to you for advice."

Wei Ming couldn't suppress a smile on his face and said with a grin.

The same was true for several other students.

Although Wang Mengde said that there is great hope for publication in top domestic journals, in their hearts, as long as the teacher is willing to provide guidance and the paper is approved, it will definitely be published in a top domestic journal.

When I think about the fact that I’ve already surpassed my peers before even graduating, I feel like I’m flying.

After graduation, based on these published papers, you will become a key training target no matter which hospital or research institution you go to.

What's more, with the support of Wang Mengde, they will not publish just one article. At least two or more articles will be published before graduation.

In the future, if I can sign my name on my teacher's papers in top foreign journals like my uncles and aunts did, my achievements will be limitless.

After letting Wei Ming and others go back first, Wang Mengde thought for a while and then walked towards President Lu's office.

There has been some progress in the treatment of complications such as anthrax, and he felt he should give the dean a brief report on the situation.

"Comrade Wang Mengde, the conditions of those patients have really improved!"

After listening to his report, President Lu was overjoyed.

This news really shocked him.

This is a complication of diabetes. In the past, treatment was left to fate, and mild cases were delayed until they became severe, and severe cases eventually required amputation.

Not only do patients suffer, but they are also unable to prevent their condition from worsening.

It's like drinking poison to quench thirst.

"Dean, after I changed to the current prescription, I took it internally and applied it externally for about a month. After observation, I found that the condition was indeed improving.

But it is impossible to completely cure it. According to my estimation, at most, if you take medication regularly in the future, the condition will not get worse and may even get better.”

Wang Mengde said cautiously.

“Oh, if the condition doesn’t get worse and can even get better, that’s a great improvement.

By the way, if I take the medicine for a long time, will I develop drug resistance and suffer from recurrence of the disease? "

Dean Lu first affirmed it, and then asked a question.

If the effect is only short-term and the condition worsens soon afterwards, then this treatment method is like a chicken rib.

“Dean, whether this situation will occur or not requires continued clinical trials and continuous observation to know.

But I think that because all the medicines used are Chinese herbal medicines, drug resistance should not appear in the short term.”

Wang Mengde replied.

"Very good.

You continue to observe over there. I will report the situation to my superiors tomorrow to see whether we should allow the foreign patients who came last year to come to China for treatment.

There are more than ten people here, and they come to ask several times every month over the past few months.

At first we were still hoping for a cure, but now we have lowered our requirements. As long as we can control the anthrax complications and avoid amputations, that's enough.

As long as this effect is achieved, the one million US dollars medical fee will still be paid and the previous promise will remain valid.

This is 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange income. There will be other patients coming in the future. With these, plus the continued growth in drug exports this year, the goal of 900 million US dollars will definitely be successfully achieved. "

Dean Lu stood up excitedly and said.

Years ago.

The amount of foreign exchange earned by the health and family planning department from the export of medicines has come out.

The foreign exchange earnings of US$8.29 million far exceeded the original target.

This number made everyone in the health department very excited.

As the major contributors, the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Wang Mengde naturally received praise and rewards from their superiors.

At the same time, when setting this year's goals, superiors took into account possible special circumstances and decided to set the target at US$8.5 million.

But President Lu suggested that this year's target should be at least US$9 million.

His confidence naturally comes from the results of Wang Mengde's research.

According to his estimation, as long as a solution can be found for the complication of anthrax, even if there is a treatment that can only keep the patient in their current condition, a large amount of foreign exchange can be earned.

In addition, the production of medicines such as 'Gongting Emperor Pills', painkillers, contraceptives, 'Gout Ling', synthetic bovine insulin and Bazhen Shenxi Pills increased.

As overseas markets continue to expand, it should not be difficult to achieve $900 million.
