I am a small factory doctor re-walking my life.

The report on the news at 7pm pushed Li Tang's popularity to its highest peak.

How should I put it? Because of the years of publicity in various domestic magazines, ordinary people have a fascination for foreign countries. They really feel that the moon over there seems to be rounder than here.

Now Li Tang has appeared on the cover of a very famous magazine in the United States. That's not bad. This has been appraised by foreign experts. It must be amazing!

In the past two days, the company's publicity department didn't know how many invitations it had received to interview Li Tang. Unfortunately...

"Comrade Li Tang, should you accept one or two interviews?"

"Leader Guorui, it's not that I don't want to take it. I'm really busy with work these days. A project we're cooperating with the Army Pharmacy Institute has reached its most critical juncture. I can't get out. So, boss, wait for me to finish the work at hand. After it’s over, I will definitely choose a few to be interviewed.”

Leader Zhao from the Propaganda Department on the other end of the phone stopped saying anything when he heard that the troops had been pulled out. He also knew that the staff of the military pharmaceutical institute had been here these two days. In any case, the work must be important. , not to mention it is a project that needs to be kept secret.

"Okay, Comrade Li Tang, you go about your work first. As for the interview, we'll talk about it later."

"Thank you, Leader Guorui, for your understanding."

"You're welcome, it's all for work. I hope you can understand me."

"That's a must."

After putting down the phone, Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief. This was the reason why he didn't want to be famous. There were too many troubles.

He was actually the one who pulled him out of the Army Pharmacy Institute to top up the tank. It was true that people were here, but he didn’t need to pay too much attention to it, and those comrades would have to stay here for at least one or two months. The efficacy of the two new drugs was fully verified.

The reason why they didn't take the sample medicine back for experiments this time was simply because it cost nothing to do it here. Experimental animals are not cheap. At present, there is no domestic company that specializes in breeding similar experimental mice. They all import them from abroad. , one costs hundreds of dollars, let alone monkeys, they are expensive.

The two medicines this time are used to treat trauma and bone injuries. Both of them require the use of large amounts of mice and even monkeys. It’s better to save a little.

So, someone from above approached Li Tang and wanted to conduct experiments at his place. It just so happened that the various instruments and equipment here were so advanced.

Of course it doesn't matter to him. Contributing to the country is the right thing to do, and it's not like they don't have to pay for future purchases.

Now these are all trivial matters to him. In the past two days, the hospital admitted a little patient who was only one year and five months old brought by his parents from Shanghai, and he became the focus of his attention.

The reason why he pays attention to this little patient is partly because of his age. The main reason is that the disease she has is too special. This is the first time in his life that he has heard of and seen a patient with this disease. For this reason, he went out of his way to I asked people to come back from abroad to help collect some public research information on this disease.

Spinal muscular atrophy, abbreviated as SMA in English, is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disease that starts early. Some patients will have attacks just a few months after birth. After the onset, patients will gradually lose various functions. Motor functions, including breathing and swallowing. The most serious consequence of muscle weakness is respiratory involvement. If left untreated, the natural survival time is basically two years old. Therefore, SMA is also known as the "number one genetic disease killer" for infants under two years old.

The information collected by his trustee showed that a research institution followed 180 patients in Europe and the United States, 64 of whom had died. The average age at the time of death was 11.1 months, and the median age was 11.1 months. At eight months, the mortality rate is as high as 35%.

This little patient who came from Shanghai started to get sick when he was eleven months old. In the past six months, the hospital there had carried out various treatments, but none of them were satisfactory. Only then did he receive treatment from a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. Came here with guidance.

This disease belongs to the category of "impotence syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is mostly caused by deficiency of internal organs, insufficient qi, blood, and body fluids, loss of nourishment of muscles, veins, and muscles. The loss lasts for a long time, and the limbs become thin and unused. It is a congenital symptom brought out in the womb. , some develop the disease right after birth, and some only develop the disease after a period of time.

In his last life, Li Tang also heard about this disease from his wife. There were patients with this disease in their hospital. According to statistics, there were about 20,000 to 30,000 patients with SMA in China at that time.

Before the advent of specific medicines, there was no good treatment for this disease. Patients mainly relied on neurotrophic drugs and exercise rehabilitation training, plus acupuncture and massage, to delay the deterioration of body functions.

Later, it seems that in 2016, a research institution in the United States launched a special drug. When it first entered the country, one injection cost 700,000. Six injections were required in the first year, and three injections per year thereafter. The key is this The medicine cannot be stopped and must be continued.

At the beginning, this medicine was not included in the medical insurance. Haha, God knows how many people can afford it.

Later, it seems that it was included in the medical insurance in 2020. Inevitably, before being included in the medical insurance, this drug also encountered soul bargaining by the medical insurance bureau. The price after being included in the medical insurance list should be 33,000. Even if medical insurance only reimburses half of one tube, this still gives people hope.

Now, it's only 1992, and there are no specific drugs at all. There is no statistics on how many patients with this disease there are in the country, but this disease was discovered in the 19th century, so there must be many patients.

After briefly reading the information in his hand, Li Tang got up and walked out of the office. He was going to go to the hospital to see the child. After thinking about it for two days, he already had a rough idea of ​​the treatment plan, but after the treatment, He didn't know what the effect would be.

But no matter what, this child can no longer be delayed, because she now needs a ventilator and a sputum cough machine from time to time. If the current development continues, the ventilator will soon be unable to be removed, and the ventilator will no longer be able to be removed. When the ventilator can no longer breathe, then intubation is required. This process is very fast, and it may only take a month or two. By then...sigh...

What he hates the most is a newborn child suffering such a serious crime. Every time he sees an infant or child getting sick, it always hits his weak point.

Calling Guo Dacheng, who was on duty today, in the lobby, he greeted the employees he met along the way and walked towards the hospital.

After the child arrived, he was placed on the second floor of the inpatient department at the back. When Li Tang came to the hospital, he did not go to the outpatient building. He just asked Guo Dacheng to go to the consulting room to get his white coat, and he slowly walked to the inpatient department.
