Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 422
"Dean Wu, how is the situation inside?" Zhao Yuanchang asked.

"How do I know? Things are too busy over there, so I won't waste my time here." Wu Yaodong left without looking back.

Zhao Yuanchang looked at Wu Yaodong's back, and he naturally understood what was going on.The patient's condition is definitely not what Wu Yaodong thought, but it has improved. Li Shengyu's experiment has made very good progress. Otherwise, if there is no progress on Li Shengyu's side, or the patient's condition deteriorates, with Wu Yaodong's personality, It was impossible for him to leave in such a disheartened manner with vague words.

"Mr. Li, it turns out that ginger is still spicy. Our Chinese medicine is a national treasure, and it can always play a role when it is critical." Zhao Yuanchang said.

"Whether it works or not, it's still too early to say. We'll wait until we see the patient. And even if it works, the medicine we use is the essence version of the detoxification solution concentrated a thousand times. The preparation process of this medicine is extremely cumbersome. At present, only one researcher can prepare it. Only one dose can be made a day, and a few people can be treated at most. Now there are a total of hundreds of infected people, so it will take a long time. By that time, the infected people’s No one can be sure what the situation will look like." Li Shengyu said.

Zhao Yuanchang quickly asked: "Why is there only one person who can prepare it? Could it be that this method cannot be used by others?"

"It really doesn't work. The formula is actually not a secret, but it's too difficult to configure, and other people can't learn it at all. Do you think this medicine is simple?" Li Shengyu said.

"Mr. Li, the heads of the epidemic situation in northern Hebei are very concerned, can you make your student work harder and prepare more medicine?" Zhao Yuanchang asked.

Li Shengyu shook his head: "If it's so easy, why am I talking about it? Also, if I can make this medicine, that's fine. This medicine was made by my student, a freshman. Although he is my student in name, but People use family-inherited technology, and this student is in name after all. You can’t let people work for nothing, right? Last time the epidemic happened, we paid him 500 yuan for a dose. This time, this medicine is more difficult to prepare , the medicinal effect is a thousand times that of the antidote."

"Wouldn't it cost 50 yuan for one dose, and nearly [-] million yuan for hundreds of infected people?" Zhao Yuanchang said.

"How much is [-] million? If they develop virus antibodies like they do, can they be developed in the end, let alone the final cost, is [-] million enough? Chinese medicine must be cheap? Is this reasonable?" Li Shengyu asked.

Zhao Yuanchang thinks about it, this epidemic has lasted for such a long time, and the daily cost and impact are far beyond the estimated [-] million.If the epidemic expands, the consequences will be more serious.

"Actually, this is not what my student asked for, but I fought for my student. If Chinese medicine is to develop, it must be treated correctly. Isn't it advocating equal pay for equal work now? Why can't Chinese medicine cure a disease? The same fees as Western medicine? We charge hundreds of dollars in medical fees, and others blame us for profiteering. Others charge tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of medical fees, but they think it is reasonable. If this continues, who will want to practice Chinese medicine? What about it?" Li Shengyu said.

"Mr. Li, I also think what you said is very reasonable. I'll contact the Ministry first. Also, Mr. Li, can you see if the fee can be reduced a little bit. 50 is still too much, [-] Potion, what do you think?" Zhao Yuanchang asked.

Li Shengyu nodded: "I'm going to talk to my student about this matter. My purpose is not to fight for money, but everyone's views on Chinese medicine. You can't be superstitious about Chinese medicine, and you can't underestimate Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine is not only traditional medicine, but also It should be a science and a very important medical method. It should be properly placed in modern medicine."

"Mr. Li, don't worry. I will feed back your views. Here, I also apologize to Mr. Li. To be honest, I also underestimated traditional Chinese medicine before, thinking that this kind of epidemic is mainly to be treated. Rely on them. I didn't expect our Chinese medicine practitioners to be the first to achieve results." Zhao Yuanchang said the word "we" very kindly.

"It's too early to say this, let's see the patient's condition first." Li Shengyu said.

The door of the ward was opened, and the cleaning staff came out. They were all fully armed, and the patient was pushed out while still bound on the bed, covered with a quilt.

After the patient came out, he even looked up at Li Shengyu and the others.

Zhao Yuanchang and Li Shengyu looked at each other, and they could see the joy in each other's eyes. The patient's condition had obviously improved.They've been here for a few days and are already impressed by the patient's response.If the patient is not getting better, in this case, it must be constantly struggling and yelling.Now it is so calm, and the patient's eyes are also clear.It is no longer the turbidity it was before.

"Quickly conduct various examinations on the patient!" Li Shengyu said excitedly.

Yuan Zhiming patted Luo Tianwang on the shoulder: "Little brother, I really admire you."

Liu Boting also smiled and said: "I can't accept it. Such a serious illness. There is no clue about it in Western medicine, and our little brother can solve it with a single pill."

"This time, that Wu Yaodong will be a man with his tail between his legs in the future." Yuan Zhiming laughed.

The results of various examinations of the patient came out quickly, and all indicators were slowly returning to normal.His mind has also come to his senses.However, for them, everything before has been forgotten, just like a nightmare.

"Mr. Li, has the patient been cured?" Zhao Yuanchang asked.

"Looking at the indicators, the patient has indeed been cured. However, it is too early to draw conclusions as to whether the patient has been completely cured. After all, the last time, a certain therapeutic effect was achieved at the beginning, but the patient's condition was not as good as before. It is developing in a good direction, but it has deteriorated. It is best to observe for a few more days." Li Shengyu said.

Zhao Yuanchang shook his head: "No way. The chiefs have been waiting for this news for a long time. I will report the situation to my superiors. Even if the situation of the infected gets worse again, we can handle it."

After Wu Yaodong went back, the first thing he did was to find Zeng Taiyun: "Dr. Zeng, when can you develop this antibody at the earliest?"

"Dean Wu, it's hard to say. At present, the original strain of the virus has not been found. Even if it is found, the antibody may not be able to be developed. The development of this kind of antibody itself is a very complicated and difficult task. And the antibody has been developed. It may not be able to work normally. After all, the virus is not completely fixed, and maybe by that time, the virus has already mutated. The more infected people, the longer the infection lasts, and the greater the possibility of mutation. Our research and development The better the specificity of the antibody produced, the worse the effect on the mutant strain.” Zeng Taiyun said.

"In this case, what's the use of developing antibodies?" Wu Yaodong said dejectedly.

"Then we have to research and develop. Even if there are mutant strains of the virus at that time, but with the experience of this research and development this time, we will be able to prepare antibodies very quickly next time." Zeng Taiyun said.

"When you develop it, the day lily will be cold. Li Shengyu has already produced a traditional Chinese medicine that can cure this infection. Do you think the antibody you have spent so long developing here is still meaningful? By the way, you The cost of research and development should not be low, right?" Wu Yaodong talked about what he saw just now.

After Zeng Taiyun heard the news, he was also a little disappointed: "If we want to conduct research and development, I am definitely not enough alone. I need to return to Kyoto as soon as possible, or go to Shanghai City. Working with multiple teams in the research institute should speed up the progress of research. , but the cost is definitely not low. Without tens of millions of funds, I am afraid that this research cannot be done, and the research and development funds may even exceed [-] million in the end. However, since there are already therapeutic drugs, it is no longer necessary to conduct this research gone."

After Zhao Yuanchang reported the situation to his superiors, he quickly got a reply and agreed to pay the medical expenses to Li Shengyu's research group at a price of 5 yuan per dose.Ask Zhao Yuanchang to coordinate with the local medical department to cooperate with Li Shengyu's research group to speed up the allocation of medicines.As for Zeng Yuntai's antibody research, it still passed the approval, but the cost of support was only a few million.The reason is also very simple. Traditional Chinese medicine can completely solve the immediate problem with a few million dollars. The reason for using more money to develop antibodies that may not be effective is not to deal with this viral infection, but to prepare for future encounters. Prepare for similar emergencies.

It seems to be a happy ending, but both Li Shengyu and Wu Yaodong are not satisfied.

Li Shengyu believes that Chinese medicine is still not treated equally.Traditional Chinese medicine only pays for treatment, but does not provide any research and development funds.Western medicine can get a lot of research funding without doing anything.In the future, when antibodies are developed, the cost of their antibodies will be [-]% higher than that of Luo Tianwang's specific medicine.After all, the authorities in charge are all from western medicine, and they are more inclined to western medicine.

Wu Yaodong also felt dissatisfied. Although Li Shengyu's team played a greater role in this epidemic, the cost of traditional Chinese medical care is low, and the price of a dose of medicine is at most hundreds or thousands.But the above even gave Li Shengyu's team a price of 5 yuan per dose.This is different from scientific research funding, which is earmarked for specific purposes.In principle, the money can only be used for scientific research.However, the money Li Shengyu's team earned from the prepared medicine was different, and it belonged to their team's income.You can spend whatever you want.It is also to help the affected areas in northern Hebei.They could only return empty-handed.
