Love is Panacea (Healer) Novel
Love is Panacea (Healer) Novel
Cold-tongued medical professor x rare disease gene carrier is warm, cute, healing, devoted, and
protective. She thought her life was over at a glance, but he gave her a romantic and grand future.
"You clearly know that I have no future..." "Su Weian, you don't need a future, because I am your
future." What he wants is not the joy of muddling through, but the mutual support that can share the
hardships.
"Beep——"
"Doctor Gu, cardiac arrest occurred in bed 2!"
"Defibrillators!"
"coming!"
"200J!"
"Charging completed!"
…
"250J!"
"Charging completed!"
…
"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep..."
"The patient returned to sinus rhythm, 48 beats per minute, and
blood oxygen concentration 75%."
"1mg intravenous epinephrine."
"Doctor Gu, the patient's family members are already outside the
emergency room."
In the emergency room of the Friendship Hospital in Bangui, the
capital of the Central African Republic, it was confirmed that the
patient's condition was temporarily stable. The tall young doctor
straightened up under the gaze of everyone. He had obviously just
brought the patient back from the brink of death. His handsome
figure The expression on his face remained calm, and his
movements were quick and capable.
He took off his gloves without raising his head: "Push the patient
into the operating room and prepare for surgery within 5 minutes."
Gu Yunzheng is the leader of Huaren Hospital’s medical team to aid
Africa and the youngest associate professor of neurosurgery in
China.
The people around him immediately responded, but he paused and
asked again: "Where is the new translator?"
Without waiting for the assistant to answer, Gu Yunzheng saw a
woman in a white dress walking quickly about ten steps away from
them, and generously extended her hand to him amidst the noise in
the rescue room: "French translation, Su Wei install."
Gu Yunzheng glanced at her hand, and saw that the fingers were
long and slender with clear joints, much like a surgeon. He then
took another look at her, with her delicate makeup and simple
ponytail, and when she smiled, she seemed to bring in the bright
sunshine outside. sunshine.
But after just one more glance, Gu Yunzheng took out a surgery
consent form from the drawer and handed it to her hand. He turned
around and walked out the door, saying simply: "Come out with
me."
The black woman in her thirties who was waiting anxiously outside
the emergency room immediately came to see the doctor.
After confirming the identity, it was learned that the black woman
was the patient's mother, named Cati. Gu Yunzheng ordered Su
Wei'an: "Tell her that her son was in a car accident. He had just
been rescued from cardiac arrest. He is now in critical condition and
must Operate immediately to solve the problem of intracranial
hemorrhage and ask her to sign the consent form."
Su Weian translated Gu Yunzheng's words to Cati word for word.
The expression of the mother of a 7-year-old child froze for a
moment.
Then came the crying question: "How to perform this operation?"
"After anesthesia, remove a piece of skull and remove the
hematoma in the brain."
Cati was stunned after hearing this: "Are there any risks with the
surgery?"
Gu Yunzheng glanced at his watch and saw that more than half of
the originally scheduled five minutes had passed. He frowned
slightly: "Any surgery has risks."
Cati's tears suddenly fell down and she asked hesitantly: "Can I not
have surgery? Can I be transferred back to the main hospital? Our
family has a familiar doctor there."
The General Hospital is a hospital built with French assistance in
Bangui. Judging from Cati's clothes, it seems that the family must
be a family with some local status, so it is not surprising that there is
a doctor they are familiar with.
But now I propose not to do surgery...
Su Weian couldn't help but frowned, this was simply impossible!
Sure enough, Gu Yunzheng's answer was very firm: "Surgery must
be performed immediately!"
Su Wei'an watched helplessly as Cati, who was originally helpless,
was crying. Her big eyes were staring at her with a mixture of
expectation and worry.
Su Wei'an couldn't bear it and tried to explain to her: "The patient's
brain continues to bleed, and the hematoma formed will backlog the
brain tissue. This situation is very critical and cannot be delayed. If
it compresses the life center, it will cause the heartbeat and
breathing to stop... "
Before the series of lengthy explanations were finished, Su Weian
saw that Cati's tears were about to fall again.
Su Wei'an was also a little anxious and didn't know how to calm her
down. At this moment, she heard Gu Yunzheng speaking out two
decisive words in a stiff French pronunciation: "If you don't do it, you
will die."
After the words fell, Su Wei'an looked at him in shock.
Su Weian and Cati sat outside the operating room and waited
together. The mother's crying became more intense as time went
on. Although Su Weian kept trying to comfort her, she had little
success.
At this moment, the reminder light outside the operating room finally
went out.
The first person to come out of the operating room was Gu
Yunzheng. Although he had just finished an emergency operation,
he did not appear tired or anxious. He walked in front of Su Wei'an
and Cati, and his height of over 1.8 meters just covered their faces.
The light in the rear is not very bright.
Being shrouded in the shadow cast in front of him, Su Weian was
suddenly dazed for a moment. She remembered that when she was
still in Huaren Hospital in China, it seemed to be a place at the door
of the operating room. She watched this figure surrounded by
people. Leave in.
At that time, Wen Ran, who was still her best friend, said to her in
an exclamation tone: "Look, look, this is Teacher Gu who is going to
take us to a craniocerebral hemorrhage internship class soon, a
man of the hour in the neurosurgery department of our hospital. ,
after completing many difficult surgeries, he was able to maintain
zero table deaths, and was promoted to associate professor at the
age of 30!"
At that time, everyone believed that with Gu Yunzheng's
achievements and abilities, he would be promoted to professor
before the age of 35, and he might be able to take over the largest
neurosurgery department in the country by the age of 40. The so-
called winner in life, with his own halo, was nothing more than that.
But life is really wonderful. In just two years, she actually met this
golden winner in life on the land of Central Africa.
Gu Yunzheng said calmly: "The operation went smoothly. The 48
hours after the operation is a dangerous period and requires close
observation."
Su Weian informed Cati in French. Cati breathed a sigh of relief
when she heard the words, her tears finally stopped, she nodded
repeatedly, thanked her again and again, and followed the child
who was pushed out to the ward.
Soon, the corridor in front of the operating room became quiet, and
only Su Wei'an and Gu Yunzheng were left.
Gu Yunzheng had no intention of staying, and only said three
words: "Go back to the emergency room."
Su Weian stopped him: "Doctor Gu, please wait."
"Is something wrong?"
Su Wei'an took two quick steps to come to him: "The last two
French words used by Dr. Gu just now were too scary and did not
comply with the regulations on doctor-patient communication. Since
you asked me to do the translation, please leave all communication
in French to me. Give me, come and explain the condition of the
patient's family in as much detail as possible and comfort them, this
is the humanistic care advocated in medicine."
"Humanistic care?" Gu Yunzheng paused. This was a word that
often appeared in hospital conferences, and she knew a lot about it.
But then, his words became sharp: "If you were lying in the
emergency room dying, would you like me to spend your prime time
saving your life rescuing you, or would you like me to go outside
and chat with your family members?"
There was a moment of silence in the air.
Just when Gu Yunzheng thought that the conversation was over, he
heard Su Wei'an say word for word: "I hope you can explain to them
why they took such a big risk to give my life to you, don't give it to
them." Add more fear!"
Gu Yunzheng said in a deep voice: "Do you think you can explain it
clearly in a few minutes?"
Su Wei'an said without any sign of weakness: "How do you know
that you can't explain it clearly?"
"You know best what happened to the family after listening to your
so-called explanation just now!"
"But……"
Su Wei'an wanted to argue more, but Gu Yunzheng no longer gave
her such a chance: "Since you know that you are just a translator,
what you have to do is to translate my words verbatim, as you did
without permission just now Explaining professional knowledge to
patients must never happen a second time!”
Su Weian was startled: "How do you know..."
"I don't know any French, so please don't talk too much about
professional content like cerebral hemorrhage, no matter who you
heard it from!"
His tone became more severe later on, and even his eyes were
filled with coldness. Su Wei'an felt that these words were like a
knife stabbing straight at her in the empty corridor.
Her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something more, but she
still swallowed those words and remained silent.
The air seemed stagnant for a moment.
What broke all this was the nurse's anxious voice: "Doctor Gu, the
emergency room just received two comatose patients from a car
accident. Dr. Secou, please come over and take a look!"
Gu Yunzheng immediately hurried to the emergency room, followed
closely by Su Wei'an. Before he entered the emergency room, he
could already hear crying.
There were two flat cars parked in front and behind. Gu Yunzheng
first checked the patient in the first car. He moved very quickly and
reported the physical examination results at the same time: "The
patient is in a coma, unilateral pupillary light reflex is present, and
intracranial hemorrhage is suspected. , contact the patient’s family
and prepare for surgery.”
Then he walked towards the second patient. However, this time, his
inspection movements slowed down and his eyebrows became
more and more frowned: "The pupils on both sides were dilated and
the light reflex disappeared."
Su Weian felt nervous.
The nurse handed over the CT film that had just been taken before
they arrived. Because the location was close to Gu Yunzheng, Su
Weian also saw that the obvious intracranial hemorrhage on the film
had formed a severe cerebral herniation.
This is the very serious situation she just explained to Cati.
Xu could see that their expressions were not good, and the woman
with two children beside her couldn't help crying and begged:
"Please save him, he is the backbone of our family, he is a good
man, please We must save him..."
Two children, only five or six years old, grabbed the corners of Gu
Yunzheng's white coat, shook them, and begged him together with
their mother.
The emergency worker who brought the patient to the hospital
explained: "The patient in front was a drunk driver and hit them with
his car. In order to protect his family, he was hit hard."
The perpetrator was protected to a certain extent by the safety
equipment in the car, but the innocent passerby was hit and bloody.
After translating these to Gu Yunzheng, Su Weian couldn't help but
soften his tone for the family and said: "Please save him!"
The head of the family is lying here, which is a disaster for this
seemingly poor family.
Now there are two patients who need emergency surgery, but there
is only one neurosurgery expert. This patient's hand has been
dragged by death. Only Gu Yunzheng may be able to give him a
chance of survival.
Zero Table Death, this means that as long as Gu Yunzheng agrees,
this patient has the possibility to survive, right?
Everyone's eyes fell on him, and everyone else was quiet, only
hearing the crying of the family.
Agree, Gu Yunzheng!
The anticipation in Su Weian's eyes was undisguised.
Taking one last look at the patient, Gu Yunzheng raised his head
and looked like he had made up his mind. He said: "Tell the
patient's family that it is too late now because the patient is too
seriously injured. Let them be mentally prepared and spend time
with him." Just give it some time." Then he said to the assistant
beside him: "Complete the preoperative preparation for the first
patient in five minutes."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and headed back to
the operating room.
Su Weian grabbed his arm almost subconsciously and said, "How
do you ask me to tell his family that although the patient is still alive,
the doctor has given up on him!"
"Tell the truth." Gu Yunzheng was so calm that he was almost
indifferent, "He has suffered a cerebral herniation, 99% of which is
irreversible. Even if he can get off the operating table alive, he will
most likely become a vegetative state!"
"But 99% is not 100%. Even if there is only a 1% chance, he
deserves this chance of survival more than the driver, right?"
"Doctors can't control who should live, they only care who can live!"
Su Weian couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "In the final
analysis, it's just that the driver's surgery is better. So the legendary
zero operating table mortality rate is maintained by this method?"
The assistant on the side quickly came out to stop: "Miss Su..."
Although he also hoped that Gu Yunzheng would give this patient a
try, Su Wei'an's situation was a bit too much. He had done so many
surgeries with Gu Yunzheng. He knew Gu Yunzheng's strength
best, and it was definitely not...
Wait, how does this new translator know that Dr. Gu has zero
mortality on the operating table?
But Su Weian over there had no intention of paying attention to him.
Probably guessing something, the patient's wife took the two
children and knelt in front of Gu Yunzheng.
Su Wei'an took this time to quickly walk up to Gu Yunzheng and
block his way. He pointed at the dying patient and gritted his teeth
and said, "If you don't do it, I will sue you!"
Gu Yunzheng glanced at her coldly, then took off the disposable hat
on his head and threw it heavily into the trash can nearby.
"random!"
Su Weian failed to stop Gu Yunzheng in the end, but Xu was
moved by the patient's family and the local emergency surgeon
Secou was willing to take a chance on the patient.
Due to lack of manpower, Secou asked Su Weian to go into the
operating room together, so that in case of emergency, more than
one person could run errands.
Su Wei'an could clearly see Secou's nervousness, but he still tried
to comfort her: "Although I am not as professional as Professor Gu,
maybe I will have better luck as a novice."
But it just backfired.
It went smoothly at first. Following the CT instructions, Secou
opened the craniotomy, sucked out the hematoma, and found the
bleeding point. Although his technique was not meticulous enough
and his movements were a bit slow, he successfully stopped the
bleeding.
However, the patient's condition did not improve. The brain tissue
continued to swell outwards. Secou tried to use mannitol to
dehydrate the patient and reduce the intracranial pressure, but
instead made the condition worse.
"Beep——"
The monitor alarmed, and the anesthesiologist immediately
reported: "The patient's blood pressure dropped to 80/45!"
Big beads of sweat broke out on Secou's forehead.
"60/35!"
Secou immediately responded: "Blood transfusion to maintain blood
pressure!"
There are still bleeding spots in the skull!
But where is it...
If you want the patient to leave the operating room alive, you must
quickly find the bleeding point to stop the bleeding. Blood
transfusion will not last long, not to mention that continued
intracerebral bleeding will cause serious brain damage!
Thinking of this, Su Wei'an quickly walked to the light board and
looked at the CT film on it carefully, trying to find some clues.
There must be something, there must be something here!
Seeing that the bag of blood prepared before the operation was
probably not enough, Secou called her: "Miss Su, please go get two
more bags of blood..."
"Wait a moment!"
Secou was stunned: "Miss Su?"
"Here!" As he spoke, Su Weian took down the CT film and walked
to Secou's side. He pointed at a tiny white spot in the left temporal
lobe and said to him in French, "There is also a bleeding point here!
"
When Secou heard this, his eyes fell on her finger, and then he
glanced at Su Wei'an in disbelief.
It’s true, there is a bleeding point here!
Because the structural displacement in the brain caused by cerebral
herniation attracted everyone's attention, and the bleeding point
was too small, he didn't notice it at first, but how could Su Weian, a
translator, notice it?
But this was not the time to think about this. Although the bleeding
point was found, it was far away from the location where they
opened the craniotomy. It was extremely difficult to stop the
bleeding!
Faced with such a situation, Secou could no longer pretend to be
rational and calm, with an anxious look on his face.
Su Weian tried to calm him down and said: "Although it is a bit far
away, fortunately the direction is smooth. There is still a chance to
stop the bleeding by maintaining blood pressure through blood
transfusion. I will go get blood right now!"
After Su Weian finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the
door. At this moment, the door of the operating room opened.
It's Gu Yunzheng.
He stood there holding up his newly sterilized hands, and Su
Wei'an almost bumped into him.
Secou seemed to have seen a savior. Before Gu Yunzheng asked,
he took the initiative to report the patient's condition: "Dr. Gu, we
just discovered that there is a second bleeding point in the brain
parenchyma of the patient's left temporal lobe, which is closer to the
site of the craniotomy." It's difficult to stop the bleeding, and now the
patient's blood pressure is maintained by blood transfusions."
Listening to Su Wei'an's translation, Gu Yunzheng quickly put on
surgical clothes. After watching the CT film, he took the
electrocoagulation in Secou's hand and then explored the location
of the bleeding point without any hesitation. A series of actions were
completed in one go, which made Su Weian was distracted for a
moment.
But it was only for a moment. Su Weian quickly rushed out of the
operating room to notify the nurse who was preparing blood to
collect blood.
When she returned to the operating room with two bags of blood,
the blood transfusion had stopped and the patient's vital signs were
stable. As the surgical knot in Gu Yunzheng's hand was finished,
Secou breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and said happily to
the patient. Su Weian came in and said: "Dr. Gu has found the
bleeding location and stopped the bleeding. There is no need to rely
on blood transfusions to maintain blood pressure!"
Su Weian raised her head and glanced at her watch after hearing
this. She had only been out for more than ten minutes, and Gu
Yunzheng had already dealt with the situation that had just made
Secou extremely embarrassed. If she hadn't seen this ability with
her own eyes, she would not have been able to do so. believe.
The youngest associate professor of neurosurgery in the country,
he truly lives up to his reputation.
The next step is the finishing work. Due to the serious edema of the
patient's brain tissue, for the sake of caution, the remaining cranial
parts were also completed by Gu Yunzheng himself. All the
movements were as standard as those in the textbook, but they
were as smooth as flowing water. This It is the solid basic skills of
top surgeons.
The patient got off the operating table alive successfully.
After the patient was sent out of the operating room, the family
members expressed their gratitude to Secou and Gu Yunzheng.
Even Su Weian was very grateful to Gu Yunzheng.
Although Gu Yunzheng had not agreed to this operation before, if
he hadn't come to help at the most critical moment, she didn't know
how this time would have ended.
So I want to thank him.
Before she could say anything, Gu Yunzheng suddenly turned his
head to look at her and said coldly in front of everyone: "You are
fired."
Su Weian was stunned.
"I have warned you before not to talk too much about professional
matters. Whether or not to perform this operation is the doctor's
judgment and has nothing to do with you. I don't need a self-
righteous translator."
Sister Lan, the nurse who followed the operation, couldn't help but
plead for Su Wei'an: "Dr. Gu, Su Translation helped a lot to make
this operation successful. She just wanted to save this patient. Can
you see the final result?" Why don’t you argue with her over the
good points?”
"Is the result good?" Gu Yunzheng said solemnly, "The patient's
cerebral herniation has caused brain damage, and there is a 99%
chance that he will become a vegetative state. The family has to
bear the debt of high surgical fees, and it is painful to decide
whether to give Is the patient withdrawing life support equipment or
waiting hopelessly? What is the best outcome?"
"Have you asked the patient's family?" Su Weian's response was
"unrepentant", "Even if there is only a 1% chance, we have to fight
for it. This is the choice of the patient's family, even if the patient
really wakes up." However, it is here, but for his family, he has tried
100% and will not regret it in the rest of his life. This is the best
result for them!"
Even though I know it's a hopeless gamble, I still try.
Because we are family members, we do not allow ourselves to give
up easily.
Gu Yunzheng, no matter how good your surgery is, you are not the
person standing behind the patient. If you have not considered it
from the perspective of the family members, how can you
understand the feelings of the family members at this time?
Their eyes met, and sparks flew everywhere for a moment.
"You are self-righteous." Gu Yunzheng looked at her coldly, "You
can leave."
Seeing that they were about to break up, the assistant on the side
couldn't hold his breath and said hurriedly: "Dr. Gu, it's hard to find
a Chinese translator here. Can you let Su Weian work for a while
longer until we can find a new translator?" Say more?"
Gu Yunzheng was silent for a moment and did not answer
immediately.
Everyone felt that something was going on, but at this moment, the
thin and weak-looking translation girl sneered and said, "Why?"
After saying that, Su Weian took his shoulders and walked towards
the emergency room without looking back.
I was fired on my first day at work, and the long day wasn't even
over yet.
Because she had agreed to provide a dormitory when working as a
translator in the hospital, she had not studied the issue of
accommodation here, but now it was hard to go to the dormitory.
She dragged her suitcase and walked on the streets of Bangui,
dragging it again. It would be dark when she went down, but she
hadn't found her home yet.
It was at this time that she received a voice call from her mother.
After a 7-hour time difference, her mother asked her in a slightly
tired voice: "Wei'an, how is the weather in Paris today?"
Because she was afraid that her mother would be worried, she
never told her about coming to Africa and lied to her mother that
she was still in France.
Su Wei'an closed his eyes, took a deep breath, as if he was really
still in Paris, and said to the person on the other side of the phone:
"It's a sunny day, the sunshine is so nice, I really want you to come
and see it too."
Su's mother didn't answer, but just told her to take care of herself.
Just when Su Weian thought her mother was about to hang up, she
suddenly said: "By the way, your father suddenly couldn't move a
few days ago. But after staying in the hospital for a few days, I’m
fine now.”
Su Wei'an froze: "Dad, how could he..."
Ever since she decided to drop out of school and travel around the
world two years ago, her mother had rarely talked to her about her
father's condition, only saying "it's okay". Now that she mentioned it
today, the situation should not be optimistic.
Su Weian's heart tightened.
Mother Su was calm, "The doctor said that patients with
Huntington's chorea sometimes behave like this. You don't need to
worry. But for An's sake, you should also go for a genetic test when
you have time."
Huntington's disease, that annoying name again.
Su Weian was silent.
Born into a family of civil servants, she had a good family
relationship, and was admitted to the top medical university in the
country, Hua Medical University, with one of the top scores in the
school. Her life was originally smooth, until in her fifth year, she
became increasingly unable to control her limbs. Su's father went to
the hospital and was diagnosed with Huntington's chorea.
a bolt from the blue.
As a medical student, the moment she heard the doctor's diagnosis
of her father, the cold words in the textbook could not help but come
to mind: autosomal dominant inheritance, abnormal amplification of
the CAG sequence, mainly dance-like symptoms. Movement and
dementia, while treatments are... awaits further study.
But that's not all.
If Huntington's disease is inherited from the paternal line, the child's
age of onset will be much earlier than that of the father's
generation. Her father became ill when he was less than 50 years
old, which means that if she is really inherited this disease If this
disease occurs, she will develop the disease at the age of 40 or
even 35, and her life will end before it even begins.
This is not the first time that her mother has persuaded her to get a
genetic test. Su Wei'an did not answer the question and just said:
"Mom, if anything happens to Dad again, you must tell me so that I
can go back and help you."
What I got was the same answer for two years: "Don't come back.
Your father doesn't want to be a burden to you. It might be bad for
him if you come back. You can see your world outside, but I can
handle it at home."
call ended.
After hanging up the phone, Su Weian unzipped her schoolbag and
looked at the large envelope at the back of the mezzanine, which
had the name of the genetic testing agency clearly written on it.
The envelope had been opened a long time ago. She took out the
two pieces of paper inside. There were a few words written behind
the cold genetic map on the report: "CAG amplification number >50,
carrying the Huntington disease gene."
This is her "judgment".
She secretly took the test herself more than a year after her father
was diagnosed.
When her father first got sick, she couldn't accept the reality in her
heart. She deceived herself and told herself that the progression of
the disease differed from person to person. Maybe even if her
father got sick, it wouldn't have a big impact on her life. She could
respond. What she has is the reality that her father is getting worse
day by day.
Before she had time to feel sorry for her father, she had to face the
reality that there was a 50% chance that she had the same disease
as her father.
The process of deciding to undergo genetic testing was a long
struggle with herself. When she made up her mind, she thought that
she could accept any result. But when she got the final result, she
felt like she was struck by lightning and was frozen in place. It took
a long time to recover.
She read every word in the genetic report hundreds of times,
thinking that she might have read it wrong. In the end, she could
only hold herself and cry bitterly, but she stuffed the report into The
middle part of the school bag, trying to pretend it didn't happen.
She didn't dare to tell her parents about the results of her genetic
diagnosis, fearing that they would become even more desperate
because they were already under great pressure. But she also
didn't have the courage to dream about her future as before. They
are all likely to get sick, their hands will move involuntarily, and
people will become more and more stupid. Even if she wants to
become a good doctor, this dream seems to have become out of
reach.
It's better to live in the moment.
That's when she decided to drop out.
Her explanation to her parents was that her father's sudden illness
gave her a new perspective on life. She didn't want to spend her
whole life becoming like the director who diagnosed her father, who
could only tell bad news but was helpless about the disease. It
would be better to Let her go out freely to see the world and feel the
beauty of life.
Her parents didn't stop her, they just asked her if she had made up
her mind.
She said, "Well, I've already thought about it."
Then go for it.
In the next two years, Su Weian traveled around the world. Relying
on the French he had learned since childhood, he passed the
professional French level and made a living by working as a
translator and part-time job.
She had seen her father cry secretly and understood his inner
torment and contradictions. Therefore, she had already made up
her mind the day she received the diagnosis report. She would
never drag herself and the people around her into such a situation. I
will give up before then.
There was no need to think about life after the age of forty or fifty.
She just lived one day at a time. She traveled around the world and
finally decided to come to Africa.
I didn't expect to meet Gu Yunzheng here.
She didn't expect that she would be fired by Gu Yunzheng on the
first day.
But we have to live with it, right?
She carefully put the report into the mezzanine of her schoolbag,
dragged her suitcase, and walked into a small hotel on the
roadside.
But the days when Su Weian was expelled were not too long.
On the morning of the third day, she received a call from the
hospital. On the other side of the phone, Gu Yunzheng's assistant
almost begged her to go back and help, and even moved Dr. Secou
to intercede.
Su Weian was grateful because Dr. Secou took the initiative to
operate on the patient. After hesitating for a moment, she accepted
his invitation and returned to the hospital. But besides that, she had
another reason, and that was...
poverty.
After leaving the hospital, she couldn't find a better job in the short
term, which was almost like sitting on nothing. Although the
hospital's salary was not much, it could always support her.
Although she and Gu Yunzheng didn't like each other, luckily they
still had the ability to hide whenever they could. Gu Yunzheng is a
person with strong planning skills. She figured out his habits and
knew when to appear and when to disappear. After a few days,
everything was fine.
But there is one thing that cannot be avoided. The victim of the car
accident really did not wake up as Gu Yunzheng said.
Everyone knows what this means.
When the life support equipment was removed, the patient's wife
and two children held his hand tightly and murmured something in
the local dialect. At first, she was still trying to restrain herself, but
when the ECG monitoring became At that moment of a straight line,
in that shrill siren, she howled.
When she calmed down a little, her relatives took her husband's
body away according to local customs. She packed up all her
things, and before leaving, she specifically asked Su Weian to take
her to the two chief surgeons. He said the same thing twice in a
slow and sincere tone.
Gu Yunzheng asked: "What did she say?"
Su Weian glanced at him and translated to him word for word:
"Thank you for everything you have done for my husband. I know
you have tried your best. God bless you."
Even if the patient really cannot wake up, his family has tried 100%
and they will not regret it in their future lives. This is the best result
that Su Wei'an mentioned before.
Gu Yunzheng pursed his lips and for a long time just said: "Thank
you."
After the family member left, Su Weian sat in silence for a long time.
Probably because he discovered her abnormality, Dr. Secou came
over to comfort her and said, "Don't be too sad. Although the patient
passed away in the end, we felt your sincerity in fighting for the
patient's chance of surgery. This is already the best result. You
don’t have to beat yourself up about it.”
Su Weian held her lips and seemed to be smiling, but there was no
smile at all. She hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "I
don't blame myself, I just think that sometimes life is really weird.
There is nothing." The wrongdoer loses his life, while the culprit
gets to see the light of another day.”
She looked up at the ward not far ahead. Through the glass, she
could see that the driver who caused the accident that day had
improved a lot. His family had brought him precious supplements,
and he was yelling at his wife.
Although he will still be investigated by the police when he recovers
and is discharged from the hospital, he has already hired a lawyer
to deal with it. He only said that it was a traffic accident and denied
that he was drunk. He seemed to have an air of letting the matter
be over.
Secou followed her gaze and suddenly understood, and couldn't
help but sigh.
Su Weian lowered his head and murmured in very soft Chinese:
"Sometimes I can't help but think that it would be great if there was
a points system in life. At least it would give people a direction to
strive for."
It was just a sigh. After saying it, she couldn't help laughing at
herself for being naive, so she used Chinese, not wanting Secou to
hear it. However, she didn't expect that at this moment, she only
heard a man's deep voice coming from behind: "The direction is
you." I didn’t find it by relying on others to give it to me.”
It's Gu Yunzheng.
Su Wei'an jumped up and stood up almost subconsciously. He
turned around and took two steps back to distance himself from Gu
Yunzheng.
Before she could say anything to refute, Gu Yunzheng had already
bypassed her and walked to the driver's ward, saying to her, "Come
with me."
The moment Gu Yunzheng opened the door, the arguing in the
room stopped. The driver turned his head to one side in
displeasure, while the family members greeted Gu Yunzheng
warmly, picked up the fruit on the side and handed it to him. .
Gu Yunzheng didn't answer, but just asked: "Has the headache
symptom you mentioned two days ago alleviated?"
The family member glanced at the patient and said cautiously: "It
seems to have eased, but the pain is still there."
Gu Yunzheng wrote it down in the medical record and said without
raising his head: "This is a common symptom after surgery. Just go
back and rest. You can prepare to be discharged from the hospital
in the next two days."
Su Weian translated this into French, and saw that the patient's
face immediately changed. He held his head and said, "It hurts. It
hurts everywhere on my head. How did you perform the operation?
Did something go wrong?" I heard that other doctors took more
than 4 hours to complete an operation, but your surgery was
completed in more than 2 hours. Is the operation not done well?"
By now, their purpose was obvious. They wanted to use the excuse
of not recovering from illness to stay in the hospital and not accept
the investigation.
Su Weian couldn't help but frown, feeling extremely disgusted with
him, but Gu Yunzheng was much calmer. He put down the medical
records in his hand, looked at the driver, and said in a
condescending voice: "It's two weeks after the surgery for your
basic recovery. That’s enough, you’ll be discharged as soon as
you’re cured, don’t occupy a hospital bed!”
After the words fell, the driver, who obviously couldn't understand
Chinese, was stunned and suddenly became quiet.
And at this quiet moment, without waiting for Su Wei'an to translate,
Gu Yunzheng continued: "The results of your blood alcohol
concentration before the operation have been sent to the police
station. If you make trouble again, I will also send your discharge
notice." !”
As soon as these words came out, even Su Weian was surprised:
"You..."
Gu Yunzheng tilted his head slightly, with a warning in his eyes. Su
Weian did not ask any more questions and translated Gu
Yunzheng's words word for word. The driver's face became more
and more gloomy. Before she could recover, she At that moment,
Gu Yunzheng beside him pulled her towards him. Su Wei'an felt
something almost grazing her face and flew past. Then she heard a
crash and turned around to see that it was a glass. Hit the wall.
Gu Yunzheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her directly behind him.
Seeing that the patient on the bed had not hit anyone, he became
even more angry. He raised his hand and punched her, but Gu
Yunzheng raised his hand to block her in the way. He used all his
strength He struggled with Gu Yunzheng with all his strength, but
his body had not fully recovered yet, so he was no match for Gu
Yunzheng. He shouted out in anger: "If you dare to harm me, I will
let you die with me!"
Su Wei'an felt it was extremely ridiculous. He walked out from
behind Gu Yunzheng, glared at the driver and scolded him in
French: "Obviously you killed someone else's family and almost
killed yourself. If Gu Yunzheng hadn't operated on you, you
wouldn't have survived. Until now, you are not grateful or repentant
at all!"
"eventful!"
The driver's tone was very fierce. Su Weian thought he was going
to throw something again, so he suddenly hid behind Gu Yunzheng,
but maybe her words had an effect. The man struggled twice more,
and finally relaxed his grip. .
Gu Yunzheng also retracted his hand, not wanting to waste time
with him anymore, and turned to walk out the door. Just as he was
about to go out, he suddenly stopped and said to the family
members beside him: "Keep an eye on the patient, don't let him yell
loudly all the time." Call."
The family member nodded repeatedly and asked, "Isn't it bad for
recovery?"
Gu Yunzheng said expressionlessly: "It's too noisy."
"..."
After leaving the ward, Su Wei'an followed Gu Yunzheng without
saying a word. Perhaps he had no intention of speaking after
waiting for a long time to see her. Gu Yunzheng rarely took the
initiative to ask her: "Don't you have anything to say?"
Su Wei'an thought for a while and said, "I think I should thank you?
But since this is your patient, the reason why he was hit is because
I translated what you said, so I don't know what to thank you for." .”
She calculated really clearly and didn't suffer at all!
Fortunately, that was not what Gu Yunzheng wanted to ask: "What
did you say to the patient alone in French just now?"
What did you say? She seemed to be praising him to the patient,
but of course she couldn't let Gu Yunzheng know about it.
Su Wei'an didn't blink and said, "I told him that every injustice has
its owner. If he wants revenge, he will come to you. Don't drag me
along."
Gu Yunzheng didn't speak. It could be seen from his expression
that he didn't believe her words at all. What surprised Su Wei'an
even more was that she found that the corners of his lips were
slightly raised.
Is Gu Yunzheng... laughing?
So...in fact, he had roughly understood what she said before, right?
Gu Yunzheng!
Su Wei'an was about to have a seizure, but Gu Yunzheng spoke
one step ahead of her: "Let's go, the little boy in bed 6 is also ready
to be discharged from the hospital."
The little boy in bed 6 that Gu Yunzheng mentioned was Cati's son.
The little boy recovered well after the operation. Cati was very
happy about this and never mentioned the transfer to another
hospital.
Hearing that he was about to be discharged from the hospital, the
child seemed very excited and even cooperated with the physical
examination that he didn't like to do on weekdays.
After completing the basic inspection, Gu Yunzheng stood up and
said to Cati who was waiting aside: "There is no problem."
Cati was grateful at first, and while touching her child's head, she
thanked Gu Yunzheng, but then her expression became a little
solemn, and she said hesitantly: "Doctor Gu, there is something
else I want to ask you for help. "
"you say."
"The father of the child found something growing in his brain during
a previous examination. The doctor at the main hospital said that
the location was not good so the first operation did not cut it clean.
Now it has relapsed. They recommended radiotherapy. Can you
help check it out?"
After hearing this, Su Weian felt a little heavy in his heart. It turned
out that this was the reason why they had a familiar brain doctor at
the main hospital.
Gu Yunzheng said without any excuse, "Okay."
They originally thought they were just watching a movie, but they
didn't expect that the next afternoon, Cati's husband Kouyate had
just returned from a business trip and came directly to the hospital.
It was only then that they learned that Kouyate was actually a local
government official.
Sitting opposite Gu Yunzheng, Kouyate looked a little tired, but he
still waited patiently for Gu Yunzheng to read all the information,
and then asked with some anticipation: "Can the surgery be
performed now?"
While Gu Yunzheng was studying other materials, Su Wei'an
walked over to the film and took a closer look. The tumor grew
exactly on the brainstem, because the brainstem contains the
respiratory and heartbeat centers, as well as various important
movements and sensations. Fiber bundles pass through, and a little
carelessness can lead to paralysis or even death. This position is
not bad, it is particularly bad!
The operation is clean... This is not an ordinary operation. It is
extremely risky. Considering the equipment and personnel of this
hospital, plus the special status of this patient...
Su Weian couldn't help but look at Gu Yunzheng with some worry.
Do you really want to do this?
"Okay." Gu Yunzheng answered without any hesitation.
He answered so simply that Su Weian couldn't help but feel a little
surprised, but this was his field after all, and since he said yes, it
meant that he was sure.
Su Wei'an translated Gu Yunzheng's answer to Kouyate. His eyes
lit up, but he still asked worriedly: "Is the risk very high?"
Still the answer without hesitation: "No."
Just as Su Wei'an was about to translate, he was suddenly startled
and looked at Gu Yunzheng in surprise, no... no?
When they were in class, the professor who came to give them a
lecture told them about the seven complications and nine symptoms
of surgical damage in brainstem surgery. The whole class was
amazed. Su Weian still had lingering fears, but Gu Yunzheng now
actually said that the risks are not big?
Do not make jokes!
The cows are about to fly into the sky!
But Gu Yunzheng pointed at the tumor on the brainstem on the film
and said: "It is dangerous for a tumor to grow on the brainstem, but
this one is the safest one among the dangerous tumors. At present,
the tumor is not very big and has not invaded important organs."
The patient has no obvious symptoms, so surgical resection is still
the best option. If nothing else happens, the operation can be
completed within 5 hours, so the anesthesia risks are not very
high."
After he finished speaking, he raised his head and met Su Weian's
eyes. Su Weian felt that his thoughts seemed to have been seen
through by him, and subconsciously looked away.
After Cati and his wife heard this, they almost immediately decided
to have the surgery. Su Weian read them a long informed consent
form for the surgery. There were countless risks listed on it, but
when they signed the letter at the end, Cati was able to tell them He
showed a smile, his eyes were bright and full of expectation.
But the more they looked forward to it, the more nervous Su Weian
became. The higher the patient's expectations for the operation, the
greater the pressure on the doctor. Even a small mistake may lead
to unacceptable results for the patient. It is precisely because of this
that when faced with such a difficult operation, most doctors will
Emphasizing that the risks are extremely high, Gu Yunzheng...
But what Su Weian didn't expect was that before she could
question Gu Yunzheng, the French doctors from the General
Hospital came over aggressively. The operation they declared was
no longer suitable for further surgery was described by Gu
Yunzheng as a low-risk operation. Their shock and anger can be
imagined.
At first, they called Gu Yunzheng to go to the general hospital to
give an explanation, but Gu Yunzheng refused because he was
busy with the surgery. The three doctors from the team who were
originally responsible for Kouyate's surgery simply came directly to
find someone.
At that time, Gu Yunzheng was still operating on other patients. The
dean asked Su Weian to invite them to the conference room to wait
for a while. He saw that the expressions of the three people were
getting worse one by one. He had been waiting with them in the
conference room for half an hour. Time, Su Weian can be regarded
as passing by like a year.
Just after the operation, Gu Yunzheng came directly to the
conference room. Before Su Weian could explain the situation to
him, the three French doctors started to accuse him in front of
everyone present: "How could you be so irresponsible?" The patient
is promised that the risk of the operation is not high when he
undergoes another operation? The patient has a special status and
such a dangerous operation. If something goes wrong during the
operation, can you afford the responsibility? "
Su Wei'an only felt that his head was heavy. After thinking about it,
he estimated that Gu Yunzheng was so smart that he must have
guessed what was going on. He simply translated the French
doctor's words without changing the personal pronouns. After
finishing speaking, he pointed at the French doctor's hand.
Directions, "they said."
In fact, compared to what might go wrong during the operation, Su
Weian felt that the doctors at the General Hospital might be more
afraid that there would be no problems with the operation. Although
this idea is a bit extreme, after all, the patient's status is special,
and if the patient who they are helpless is killed by other countries,
If a doctor can cure it, it may not just be a matter of lackluster
appearance.
Gu Yunzheng did not blink: "I have conducted a careful
assessment. The patient's grade is not high, and there is a chance
for complete resection. Is it because the patient's status is special
and he is afraid that there will be problems with the operation, so he
should give up the opportunity for surgery?"
The more special the patient's status, the less doctors sometimes
dare to take risks. Even if the patient cannot be cured, it is better
than having a more serious problem in their own hands. These
French doctors may also have this idea.
The leading French doctor said with a livid face: "We didn't mean
that, we just don't want you to do whatever you want!"
Compared to the other party's excitement, Gu Yunzheng seemed
much calmer: "We won't do it."
"I'm not ashamed to say it. I heard that Kouyate's son was still
conscious when he was admitted to your hospital. He fell into
asystole and coma after staying in the emergency room for a while.
Isn't this because you are not good at medical skills? Even trauma
patients are treated like this. , actually want to undergo such a
dangerous brain tumor surgery!"
They came prepared.
I don’t know where they heard the news, but Kouyate’s son did
remain conscious for a while when he was sent to the hospital. She
happened to be watching when Gu Yunzheng evaluated him, but...
Gu Yunzheng responded bluntly: "The child had epidural
hemorrhage and had been in a coma once before being sent to the
hospital. What you call sober is just the intermediate sober period!"
The other party was aggressive: "How do you prove that it was an
intermediate period of sobriety and not the child's coma caused by
your improper handling? Can any medical professional at that time
prove what you said?"
When the child was first sent to the emergency room, Gu
Yunzheng's assistant went to help him get something. There was
no second doctor present during the evaluation. The other doctor
wanted to kill him based on this. Gu Yunzheng made a mistake in
the child's treatment and let Kouyate Give up surgery.
Gu Yunzheng didn't speak again and just sneered.
There is nothing more to say.
They clearly came here with this in mind. In order to prevent
Kouyate's surgery, they also took great pains. The so-called
"unfounded" charges were roughly the same.
Although Su Wei'an had objections to the wording of Gu
Yunzheng's exchange with Cati from the beginning, he did nothing
wrong in the rescue matter, but he was subjected to such
embarrassment because of the selfishness of the doctors at the
General Hospital, in full view of everyone. It's quite chilling.
Thinking of this, Su Wei'an spoke, and his short French words were
loud and clear: "I can prove it."
The French doctor was startled for a moment, then frowned: "What
can you prove with just a translator?"
"Fortunately, I'm not just a translator." Su Weian paused, and then
said solemnly, "I graduated from the Hua Medical University of
China and passed the Chinese Medical Practitioner Examination
two years ago. Although I can't compare with the experts, I can
judge The patient still has the ability to be conscious. I was beside
the patient when he was sent to the hospital. There was indeed a
period of improvement in consciousness and he could be
awakened, but he was not completely awake. Based on what the
emergency personnel said, the patient once fell into a brief coma. ,
This proves that what Dr. Gu said is correct."
After the words fell, the conference room fell silent for a moment.
Even the Chinese and African doctors in our hospital couldn't help
but take a breath and looked at her in surprise.
The French doctors looked at each other in confusion, then stared
at Su Wei'an for a long time, and said, "You...what?"
Su Weian said calmly: "I am also a medical professional. If the
experts still need any proof, I can help."
The assistant behind Gu Yunzheng didn't understand what
happened and asked the local doctor in a low voice in English:
"What did she say?"
He answered in slightly jerky English: "She's also a doctor!"
The assistant was startled and said, "Don't be kidding...it can't be
true, right?" He then approached Gu Yunzheng and said, "Dr. Gu,
the translator actually said...that she is also a doctor!"
Gu Yunzheng did not speak, but pursed his lips slightly.
The farce was over now, and the three French doctors were at fault.
When the General Hospital called, they used this as an excuse to
leave first.
Then the other people dispersed one after another, leaving only Su
Wei'an and Gu Yunzheng in the center of the room.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward. After all, the relationship
between them was not at war with each other before, but was rather
cold to each other. The reason why Su Weian stood up to help him
in such an occasion was just based on his inner likes and dislikes
and his character of seeing injustice on the road. , and had no
intention of showing favor to Gu Yunzheng or selling him a favor,
and she did not want Gu Yunzheng to accept her favor.
So she deliberately spoke first in a somewhat harsh tone: "Once
again, I self-righteously talk too much about professional matters
without your permission. Am I going to be fired again?"
Yes, almost.
Gu Yunzheng didn't answer, just looked at her.
Does she know how sensitive Kouyate's identity is? Faced with the
questioning of the French doctors at the General Hospital, the
leaders of this hospital did not dare to say anything. It was up to her
to argue. How dare she dare to do such a thing? Put the
responsibility on yourself?
This is not courage, but stupidity. Expelling her from here now might
actually save her.
But when she methodically described her basis for judging the
patient's state of consciousness and her concept of the
intermediate awakening period, Gu Yunzheng saw the confident
light in her eyes, which made Gu Yunzheng slightly suffocated.
Deja vu.
Gu Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Have I seen
you somewhere?"
Su Weian was stunned.
He couldn't wait for an answer. Fortunately, Gu Yunzheng didn't
want to wait for her answer. He slightly touched his lips and said,
"Two or three years ago, there was a female student in a
craniocerebral trauma class that I taught. She was like you." He is
so self-righteous that even his tone of voice is very similar to yours."
Because the class was in a classroom in the operating room,
everyone was wearing masks, and his face could no longer be
recalled, but he always remembered that the eyes showed the
same confidence and love for what he had learned.
Su Weian opened his eyes, laughed, but his voice was dry, and
said, "Professor Gu has taught so many students, but he can still
remember them all. He is really a good teacher."
"But I only taught them one class. How can I remember them all? I
just raised my hand seven times in one class, chased after
questions, and persisted in arguing with me. So far, I have only
seen that one student."
I probably don’t know how many times I have read the book in
advance before I can think so quickly and ask questions at the key
points.
This can probably be considered a compliment to her, right?
Before the smile on Su Weian's lips could spread, Gu Yunzheng
continued: "It's a pity that until the end of the professional
knowledge argument, she didn't win even once."
Su Weian was speechless.
To actually remember this kind of thing so clearly, Associate
Professor Gu, your mind is as big as the tip of a needle, right?
But at this moment, I heard Gu Yunzheng say seriously: "I don't
know if she can win next time."
After saying that, Gu Yunzheng turned around and walked out the
door.
Next chapter: The healer’s second medicine emerges from a desperate
situation
When Su Weian walked back to the ward, Wen Ran had been
waiting at the door of Su's father's ward for a long time. When Su
Weian came back, Wen Ran, who always liked to look down at
others while wearing 10cm high heels, put his hands in the pockets
of his white coat. Li turned around. Due to hospital regulations, she
was wearing flat shoes at the moment. Without the advantage of
10cm high heels, she could only raise her head and look at Su
Wei'an: "Stay away from Yuncheng."
What a succinct opening statement.
She heard the conversation they had just had in the stairwell. She
was originally just out of curiosity and wanted to hear what Du
Yuncheng would say to Su Wei'an who didn't know how to respect
himself. However, she didn't expect to hear such a big secret. She
noticed that something was not right between Gu Yuncheng and Du
Yuncheng, but she never imagined that Gu Yuncheng was actually
Du Yuncheng's half-brother, and more importantly, just a week ago,
Du Yuncheng actually opened his mouth to Su Weian for Su
Weian's sake. Gu Yunzheng begged for love. He said that he
liked... Su Weian.
That's her boyfriend! It was the boyfriend she tried every means to
catch up with after Su Weian left! After so long, how could she listen
to him say that he liked someone else again, and that someone
else was Su Weian?
Even though Du Yuncheng seemed to be severing all contact with
Su Wei'an in anger when he came out of the stairwell today, she
knew very well that the angrier Du Yuncheng was, the more he
cared about Su Wei'an. Realizing this, Wen Ran could no longer
pretend to be calm. She wanted to warn Su Wei'an to stay away
from Du Yuncheng and them. It was best to leave like this and
never come back. Anyway, she had already walked through it once
two years ago. Yes, isn't it?
Faced with Wen Ran's harsh words, Su Weian ignored her and
pretended not to see her, then reached out to open the door to the
ward.
Wen Ran pulled Su Weian's hand away: "Did you hear that? I don't
care if he liked you before, but from now on, please stay away from
him! Yuncheng is a person who misses old feelings. , I can’t watch
you use his kindness to hurt him!”
Wen Ran's movements were very big, and Su Wei'an was a little
hurt by her grip. She shook off Wen Ran's hand and took two steps
back to distance the two.
Su Wei'an looked at her and suddenly felt a little ridiculous: "Wen
Ran, don't use Du Yuncheng's kindness to hurt him. Isn't that what I
said to you?"
Over the years in college, everyone who meets Wen Ran seems to
have no happy ending. For example, Liang Yayi, He Xiaoguang,
and her, Wen Ran can always destroy things that are important to
others so easily.
Wen Ran looked at her in disbelief: "Yuncheng is the person I love
most, how could I hurt him?"
Su Wei'an sneered: "You once told people that you had a best
friend. What did you do to her later?"
Su Wei'an's eyes were sharp and he looked straight at her. Wen
Ran subconsciously looked away and whispered: "Yun Cheng is
different from you..."
Her words made Su Weian couldn't help but raise his lips, not
knowing whether he was laughing at Wen Ran or himself. The
person who used to be confidant and defended even if he offended
everyone, now said such words, and Su Weian was not even
surprised anymore.
"Yes, Du Yuncheng and I have different values to you. Then when
you meet someone even more different, please treat Du Yuncheng
kindly."
After Su Weian finished speaking, she raised her head and looked
past Wen Ran to look behind her. Wen Ran noticed something and
turned her head suddenly. She saw Du Yuncheng not far from
them, her face turned red and white. Want to explain something to
Du Yuncheng: "Yuncheng, I'm not..."
But Du Yuncheng walked up to her in a few steps, frowned and
asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I……"
Before she could finish speaking, Du Yuncheng had already held
her hand, turned around and faced Su Wei'an: "We don't need
outsiders to worry about our affairs." After that, he took Wen Ran
and left.
Seeing their figures disappear from sight, Su Wei'an remembered
Du Yuncheng's decisive attitude just now. She wanted to remind Du
Yuncheng to be careful about Wen Ran. She knew that Du
Yuncheng would have a big reaction when he heard their words,
but she guessed the beginning. , but didn’t guess the ending.
She had never seen Du Yuncheng in such a posture before. He
was as indifferent as a stranger. It was as if suddenly they had
become strangers who had been classmates for six years, but so
what? In Du Yuncheng's case, she deserved it.
And the day seemed to be getting extra long.
When she walked into the ward, Su Wei'an saw that her mother had
just finished a phone call with a serious expression on her face. She
asked her mother softly: "What's wrong?"
Su's mother turned around and saw that it was Su Weian who had
returned: "You came just in time, I was just looking for you. Your
father was conducting clinical trials at Zhanghe Hospital. He met
several patients and established a group. We also communicated
with each other on a regular basis. Just now, the family members of
one of the patients, Lao Li, called and said that Lao Li also suddenly
suffered from the same kind of stiffness and headache that your
father had before. The doctor said it was... inferior cavity
hemorrhage. What should we do? For An Ah, can you tell your
teacher Gu and ask him to help take a look?"
Su Weian's heart sank: "Has anyone had similar symptoms?"
Although she had previously felt that her father's condition was
strange and that it might be related to the experimental drug, she
could not be sure. After all, they had no evidence and could not
completely rule out the possibility that it was his father's personal
problem. It was also possible that his father had just grown up at
this time. He had an aneurysm, maybe he was so "lucky" to
encounter the probability of being struck by lightning, but now
someone else has similar symptoms...
Su Weian frowned: "I'll discuss it with Teacher Gu..."
If there is still an aneurysm this time, then this drug...
Su Weian didn't dare to think about it any more.
After talking to Gu Yunzheng about this matter, he also realized the
danger of this matter. Because the patient was local, he
immediately transferred the patient to Huaren Hospital and did an
angiogram of the head. The results showed that something terrible
happened. It turned out to be an aneurysm, even though he
immediately performed an angiogram. The embolization operation
went smoothly, but this matter still made Su Wei'an particularly
concerned.
Su Weian looked at the DSA image on the screen and said, "One is
accidental, what about the other two?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence." Although he also felt that there was
something wrong here, Gu Yunzheng remained calm, "I checked
Professor Wen's experiment and found that there were more than
300 subjects. In addition, the patient named Li had a long-term
Even if we doubt that high blood pressure is a risk factor for
aneurysms, we still can't draw any firm conclusions."
Although he was anxious, Su Weian knew that what Gu Yunzheng
said was right. It was too early to tell whether there was anything
wrong with this drug. After all, it was the only Huntington drug to
reach clinical phase III in the near future. It is by no means an easy
task to secure the hopes of too many people, including myself.
Su Weian said worriedly: "Then what should we do now?"
Gu Yunzheng closed the window of the examination results, turned
to Su Weian and said word by word: "Take care of this patient's
aneurysm, and let him report the adverse event of the aneurysm to
the implementer of this trial like your father did. Let them deal with
it, and then we hope together that something like this doesn't
happen again."
Su Weian raised his head and looked into Gu Yunzheng's eyes. He
was so calm and firm, which made Su Weian's heart gradually calm
down.
She nodded, lowered her eyes, and sighed softly: "Don't let it
happen again..."
But it just backfired.
Not long after that, another patient called home. After a whole-brain
arteriogram, an aneurysm was discovered at the end of a small
artery.
Once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, and three times is
neither an accident nor a coincidence.
Su Weian helped the patient's family members sort out the relevant
test results overnight and sent them to the drug experiment team of
Zhanghe Hospital.
Such a serious adverse event occurred just halfway through the
originally scheduled two-year clinical trial. In this case, according to
regulations, it should have been reported to the ethical review
committee to consider intervention in the trial or stopping the trial.
However, after waiting for more than a week, there was no news
from Professor Wen Yuliang's experimental team at Zhanghe
Hospital.
Su Wei'an felt that he could no longer wait like this. As a doctor
from another hospital, Gu Yunzheng's intervention would only make
things more complicated. Su Wei'an went to Zhanghe Hospital as a
family member of the subject and found this domestic Huntington
hospital. The authoritative expert in disease diagnosis and
treatment is Wen Ran's father, Professor Wen Yuliang.
When he was still in school, Su Wei'an had heard about Wen
Yuliang's reputation in academia many times. He was an expert
whose first author had been published in NEJM magazine. He was
very rare in the country. Therefore, even though he had a deep
grudge with Wen Ran, Su Weian still had a respectful attitude
towards the famous Professor Wen.
It was noon, in the crowded outpatient building of Zhanghe Hospital.
Wen Yuliang was followed by a team of doctors, walking through
the crowd in a mighty manner. Su Wei'an ran after him and finally
stood in front of Wen Yuliang. .
Her opening remarks were concise and straightforward: "Director
Wen, I am Su Weian, a family member of Su Jianming, the subject
in the HDQ199 drug trial. I have something to ask you about this
drug trial."
Wen Yuliang looked at her with some confusion, and the doctor on
the side reminded him: "Director, he is the first patient to withdraw
from the Huntington drug trial due to an aneurysm."
Wen Yuliang seemed to suddenly remember something and
nodded: "I remember." Then he asked, "How is your father
recovering now?"
"The aneurysm ruptured twice in a row, which was a bit serious.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time. The postoperative recovery
was not bad, but the headache was severe and the limb
movements were a bit inflexible."
Wen Yuliang nodded and expressed understanding: "Huntington's
associated aneurysm rupture resulted in intracranial hemorrhage. It
will indeed have a relatively large impact on the patient's life, and it
depends on his family to take care of him. By the way, what do you
want to ask about today? ?”
"That's right. My father knows two patients who are also
participating in this trial at your place. They have also discovered
aneurysms. The information has been sent to you for a while. I
would like to take the liberty to ask how you plan to deal with such a
situation? "
Hearing Su Weian's words, Wen Yuliang looked a little surprised:
"Another patient has found an aneurysm?" He said, turning his
head to look at the doctor behind him, without being angry, "Xiao
Yang, what's going on?"
The doctor behind him was stunned, and he quickly lowered his
head and said respectfully: "I did receive the information of two
more patients, but since the examination and treatment were not
done in our hospital, we sorted out the contents and were about to
submit them to you. "
"That's it." Wen Yuliang nodded and said to Su Weian, "I'll take a
look when I go back, and then arrange for the doctors on the team
to reply to you as soon as possible."
Wen Yuliang had already said this, and it probably wouldn't take
long. Su Weian responded: "Okay, thank you."
Wen Yuliang did not lie to her. The next day, the two patients'
families received calls from Zhanghe Hospital. They were allowed
to withdraw from the trial on the premise of respecting the wishes of
the patients and their families, and Professor Wen Yuliang Wen
personally arranged their follow-up arrangements. Diagnosis and
treatment plan.
For the patients, very satisfactory results have been obtained.
When the two patients were discharged from the hospital and
thanked Su Wei'an and Gu Yunzheng, they did not forget to praise
Professor Wen's team for their great attitude.
It's good that the matter can be resolved so smoothly, but Su Weian
still feels a little uneasy because so far, there is no news about the
intervention in the experiment itself. Su Weian called twice and got
the answer It's all "under discussion".
Su Weian was a little uneasy and asked Gu Yunzheng for advice:
"Do you think they have reported the situation to the ethics review
committee?"
Gu Yunzheng understood the contradictions and worries in her
heart. He put his hands on her shoulders gently: "I don't know, Wei
An, we are talking about the most authoritative professor in the
country who is engaged in Huntington research. The word 'feel'
does not mean use."
Su Wei'an frowned: "But if you ask them directly, you will only get
perfunctory answers. What else can we do?"
"There is an annual meeting of domestic neurology in City C next
weekend. I have seen the schedule, and there is a special lecture
by Wen Yuliang. The content is related to the clinical trial of
Huntington drug he conducted."
"You mean..." Su Wei'an quickly understood. Introducing their
experiment at the meeting showed that they would mention the
progress of the current experiment, which is likely to involve the
reasons why several subjects in the experiment quit. In front of In
the presence of so many experts across the country, Wen Yuliang
couldn't be perfunctory and had to give an answer. This was indeed
a good opportunity.
But……
"Wen Yuliang is one of the top experts in the country. His speech
will definitely be held at the main venue. I am not a registered
participant, nor am I a doctor from any hospital. How can I sneak
into the venue?"
"Who said you want to sneak in?" Gu Yunzheng looked at her
worried look and couldn't help but chuckled, "I'll take you in."
"You?" Su Wei'an was surprised but a little confused, "But you are a
surgeon, why do you want to attend the annual meeting of internal
medicine?"
Gu Yunzheng rubbed her head casually: "I contacted a foreign
expert and formulated a topic on Huntington's chorea. I have
completed and submitted the fund project application, so my
appearance at any relevant meeting will not be rude. "
"You...what?" Su Weian was shocked, "Your research direction is
obviously glioma..."
Gu Yunzheng has been focusing on glioma for 9 years. His
research is regarded as one of the most promising research in the
field of glioma, and he just said... What topic has he planned?
Huntington?
Su Wei'an looked at him in disbelief.
Gu Yunzheng seemed very calm: "Not anymore."
Su Wei'an suddenly didn't know what to say.
She had been thinking that Gu Yunzheng might just suddenly get
up and take a look at Huntington, but she didn't expect that he was
far more decisive than she thought.
Not anymore...
How can it be so easy to write an application for a new project?
Even Gu Yunzheng did not necessarily have to stay up many nights
and read a lot of documents to complete it in such a short period of
time.
She suddenly remembered that he had replied so briefly to the
message she sent him at night. Was he actually writing an
application?
When did he have the idea to change his research direction?
It is not easy to reach Gu Yunzheng's current position in a
professional field. If you re-enter a new field and adopt new
experimental methods, you will have to explore everything again.
The first one or two years will probably pass by just like that, and
you will not get many important results and will not be able to
publish high-impact articles. And now it was an important point for
him to evaluate the professor, so he made this decision so easily?
Her voice was slightly hoarse: "Gu Yunzheng, are you changing
your research direction for so many years because of me...?"
Gu Yunzheng held his lips, pulled Su Weian, whose eyes were
already reddish, into his arms, and said calmly: "Of course it's
because of you."
because of her.
Su Weian closed his eyes.
How long have they been in a relationship? A month?
This is his career!
"Gu Yunzheng, the research direction is not child's play. Maybe we
will quarrel in two days, or you find that I am actually too busy and
boring. You can't just change the subject you have applied for
again!" "
Gu Yunzheng put his chin in front of her forehead and responded
softly: "Yes."
"Also, you have to re-evaluate your professorship next year. It is
difficult to get results so quickly at the beginning of a new project.
What will happen to your professional title?"
"Um……"
"Besides, have you talked to Director Wang? He probably won't let
you change your research direction so impulsively, right?"
"Um……"
"besides……"
Gu Yunzheng leaned forward and sealed his lips with a kiss.
At first he just wanted to taste it briefly, but when he touched her
warm and soft lips, he suddenly didn't want to let go.
Su Wei'an was still struggling to push him away, regain her sanity,
and continue to persuade him to give up changing the subject. Gu
Yunzheng did not give her this chance, and deftly opened her teeth,
tempting her to entangle with him.
She finally gave up her resistance.
When she came to her senses again, she could no longer
remember the reason why she had been fully prepared, but Gu
Yunzheng, who had just let her go, was two points closer to her.
She hurriedly put her hand between him and herself, but he
creaked softly on her waist. Su Weian was in his arms and couldn't
escape even if he wanted to, so she had to use her hands to stop
him, but As soon as he lowered his hand, he pressed her against
the wall and kissed her.
On weekdays, he seems to be a gentle and elegant person. Even in
such a hot place in Central Africa, he is an ascetic who can neatly
tie the first button of his collar. However, he is unexpectedly good at
seducing her. In two rounds When he came down, Su Weian was
completely disarmed, holding his waist and falling into his arms.
It was only at this moment that Gu Yunzheng whispered in her ear:
"I have already told the director, and the project application has
been submitted to the director. The reason why I didn't tell you
before was because I was afraid that you would be burdened with
'affecting my whole life. Career is such a burden, but now I think
about it, it would be good for you to bear some burden, at least next
time you won't leave without saying goodbye easily. "
Su Wei'an knew that he said this to relieve her pressure, but she
still couldn't help but chuckled: "Why do I feel that my leaving
without saying goodbye really left you with a lot of psychological
trauma?"
Gu Yunzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You're still
smiling!"
Su Weian pursed her lips, held back her smile, stood up on tiptoes
and pecked him on the lips, and said seriously: "I will never leave
without saying goodbye again, I promise!"
Just when Gu Yunzheng raised his hand and was about to rub her
head with satisfaction, he heard Su Weian say thoughtfully: "At
least leave a letter."
Gu Yunzheng held her face, only 3cm away from the tip of her
nose, and looked directly into her eyes: "How dare you!"
After Su's father recovered well after the aneurysm operation, he
was transferred to the neurology department for a week because of
Huntington's chorea. However, at this time, Su Weian's pressure as
a family caregiver had been reduced a lot, and Su's father had
never been there again. He didn't want to cause trouble to his
daughter, and he didn't want to see her sitting next to his bed all
day long. Every time he said that he could be alone, he kicked her
out.
Although her father's condition was indeed no longer a big problem,
she still didn't dare to leave her father alone in the hospital, so she
just walked around the hospital. Gu Yuncheng was very busy with
surgery on weekdays, and only when she got off work, she went to
deliver dinner to Gu Yuncheng, so the two of them could chat.
Because the previous topic on glioma had to be completed, Gu
Yunzheng was busier than usual and almost had to live in the
laboratory. When she went to find him, he just let her watch from a
distance in the living area and kept her away from the lab. The
experimental area was full of toxic and harmful chemicals, so Su
Weian just sat on a chair nearby and accompanied him quietly at
first, until one time, three timers on the wall rang one after another,
and Gu Yunzheng, who was processing the gel, completely Unable
to get away, Su Wei'an looked at the timer on the wall that
screamed loudly, then at Gu Yunzheng, got up and walked to the
experimental area, took a pair of gloves and put them on, stepped
forward and turned off the timer, turning off the timer. The liquid in
the cell culture dish is replaced one by one with a pipette, with
skillful and neat movements.
When Gu Yunzheng finished handling the gel, she had already
finished half of it. Gu Yunzheng walked to her side and was
originally going to take over. However, seeing Su Wei'an's focused
look, he stopped and just leaned against the experimental table
nearby, concentrating. looked at her.
solve!
Putting the last petri dish back on the shaker, Su Weian put the
pipette away and turned his head to Gu Yunzheng with a proud
smile.
Gu Yunzheng looked at her sly smile and couldn't help but
narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why do you smile like this?"
Su Wei'an raised his eyebrows: "I know you want to praise me."
Gu Yunzheng did not comment, but moved closer to her: "Really?"
His breath brushed against her ears, tickling her ears. Su Weian
smiled and glared at him: "Hurry up and praise me!"
Gu Yunzheng suddenly fell silent for a moment. Just when Su
Wei'an was a little confused and thought he had done something
wrong, his voice was deep and he said seriously: "Come to the
laboratory and help me."
The smile on Su Weian's lips suddenly froze.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head slightly: "Forget it, I
dropped out of school before finishing my long-term studies. I am
no longer a student of this hospital. It is almost impossible to enter
this hospital with an undergraduate degree. Maybe it's true. I can’t
help you anymore.”
Gu Yunzheng looked at Su Wei'an who was looking away and
couldn't help frowning: "It is indeed difficult to get in as a doctor, but
with your ability, it is not impossible to become an assistant
researcher."
Su Weian shook his head: "Let's forget it..."
Gu Yunzheng noticed something was wrong, pulled her shoulder
and asked: "Wei'an, why?"
She couldn't hide, so after thinking about it, she didn't need to hide
when facing Gu Yunzheng. After all, he was the only person in the
world who understood her at the moment.
She tried to explain in the most understated tone: "I gave up the
medical profession two years ago. In my limited life, I don't want to
regret my original decision, and I don't want to let myself not see it
every day." Becoming hopeless in Dawn’s research.”
Gu Yunzheng didn't want her to give up her favorite major just like
that, but he couldn't refute the reasons she gave. He devoted the
only time in his life to research that was likely to yield nothing. The
apoptotic cells in the culture dish reminded her every day. What is
happening inside her body, all of this is really cruel. If it weren't for
her confident smile just now, how could he have the heart to ask
her to come back and face this?
He stretched out his hand, gently pulled her into his arms, and said
softly: "It's okay if you don't come."
I caught the last flight to City C on Friday night. As soon as I got off
the plane, the night breeze in the seaside city made Su Wei'an
couldn't help but sneeze three times in a row.
Gu Yunzheng handed the tissue to her: "It's midsummer now, and I
don't have a coat to give you."
Su Weian quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine. He
was about to speak but couldn't help but sneeze.
Gu Yunzheng slightly licked his lips: "But I can lend myself to you."
Su Weian was startled: "What?"
Immediately afterwards, she was held tightly in Gu Yunzheng's
arms. He blocked her from the unkind night wind. There was
warmth in the palm of his hand on her arm. She was slightly
surprised and subconsciously called out. He: "Gu Yunzheng..."
"Um?"
Su Wei'an raised her eyes and looked to the side. Passers-by
smiled and watched them pass by. She said a little embarrassedly:
"I would be shy..."
Gu Yunzheng thought for a while: "So?"
Su Wei'an shrank into his arms: "Hold me tighter."
Gu Yunzheng reached out and pressed her head to his chest,
unable to hold back, he laughed out loud.
Afterwards, the two of them rushed to the hotel that the conference
clerk had booked. However, when they asked at the front desk, they
were unexpectedly told that the hotel was full and there was only a
double room booked in his name.
Gu Yunzheng hurriedly called the conference manager in charge of
the hotel. When he learned that the two people in their group were
a man and a woman, the conference manager who knew that he
had caused trouble took a breath: "Um, I'm sorry, I'll take your
companion away." The gender is recorded as male."
Gu Yunzheng frowned: "But I told you she was a woman."
The meeting manager smiled apologetically: "Yes, maybe I was too
busy at that time and didn't hear clearly on the phone. I thought you
were in neurosurgery. There are almost no female doctors..." After
explaining, he hurriedly said, "I'll give it to other people nearby." Call
the hotel to see if there are any rooms.”
Gu Yunzheng nodded: "Thank you."
However, since this is a large-scale conference in the country, there
are already many people coming, and it is also a season with many
conferences. The hotels around the conference venue have already
been fully booked. I asked around the conference staff and they all
said "Sorry".
It was already late at night, they were already very tired, and there
was no better solution. Su Wei'an hesitated and said, "How about
we stay here first."
Although he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that there was only
one room, fortunately the room was clean and relatively large. Su
Wei'an, who was tired from the journey, entered the room and sat
on the bed, then lay down naturally and breathed a long sigh of
relief. He said happily: "The bed is so soft!"
Gu Yunzheng, who came in later, heard her half-coquettish, half-
satisfied tone and couldn't help but smile: "You like it so much?"
Su Wei'an immediately realized that her behavior was a little too
careless about her image, and she immediately sat up, but she
didn't expect to bump into Gu Yunzheng who had just walked to her
side. The unsuspecting Gu Yunzheng was fine, but the "culprit" Su
Wei'an has already started to rub his forehead.
It hurts...it hurts...
She almost subconsciously reached out and touched the abdomen
of Gu Yunzheng who had just been hit by her. This time it seemed
like she had discovered a new world. Through the white shirt, the
touch on her hand was particularly strong. Su Wei'an thought for a
moment, well, These might be the legendary abdominal muscles,
so my palms touched his belly with great joy.
"For your sake, don't make trouble."
Su Weian was in a good mood and teased him: "Don't be shy!"
Seeing her proud look, Gu Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly,
took a step closer to her, and leaned down: "Are you sure it's me
who is shy?"
The distance between them was already very close. At this
moment, Su Wei'an was completely in the shadow area in front of
Gu Yunzheng, and he was still getting closer and closer to her. Su
Wei'an sensed the danger, and the movements of his hands also
changed. She stopped and instinctively hid behind her, but behind
her was the bed. Seeing that something was not right, Su Wei'an
quickly pushed Gu Yunzheng away and stood up: "Well... I'm going
to take a shower..."
After saying that, he was about to enter the bathroom, but he felt
that it was not right to say such things at this time, so he turned
around and explained: "I just want to take a bath before going to
bed, don't think too much!"
Obviously wanting to clarify his words, Su Weian said, but his face
turned red.
Her look made Gu Yuncheng couldn't help but smile. He opened his
long legs and walked towards her. Just when she nervously thought
he was going to do something, he walked around her, opened the
closet and took out the bath towel inside. Passing it to Su Weian, he
reached out and rubbed her head: "What do you think I will think
about?"
Su Wei'an's face turned even redder due to his words: "I...how did I
know..."
Gu Yunzheng raised his eyebrows: "You don't know?"
Su Weian straightened his back and said as if his heart could tell
the truth: "I don't know."
"Then I'll tell you."
After Gu Yunzheng finished speaking, he leaned over and kissed
her lips.
Su Wei'an's mind exploded. Is she...
Got... tricked...?
Fortunately, Gu Yunzheng only made a sneak attack and then let
her go: "Go wash up and get some rest early."
Su Wei'an nodded in a daze, walked into the bathroom, and turned
on the shower to the maximum. It took him a while to come back to
his senses. Gu Yunzheng only heard her roar coming from the
bathroom. He probably thought that the sound of the water was
loud enough, and the people outside I couldn't hear clearly, but
what she said was: "Gu Yunzheng, you bastard!"
Gu Yunzheng responded leisurely: "You called me?"
There was silence in the bathroom for an instant, and Su Wei'an,
who realized it later, hurriedly said: "No!"
Su Weian quickly finished the bath in ten minutes, fearing that
staying in the bathroom for too long would make the situation even
weirder.
After leaving the bathroom, she said "good night" and got into the
quilt and pretended to sleep.
Gu Yuncheng found it interesting that a girl who usually looked so
powerful turned out like this at this time, but after all, it was a tiring
day and it was best for her to rest early, so he did not continue to
tease her.
After he went to the bathroom to clean up, he gently took out his
computer and modified the project document based on the
director's feedback. He was very focused while working. Halfway
through revising, he turned his head when he was holding the water
glass, only to find that Su Wei'an had woken up at some point and
was looking at him quietly.
He was a little apologetic: "Did I make too much noise and disturb
you?"
Su Weian shook his head: "Are you working?"
"Revising the project document."
"The Huntington one?"
He responded: "Yeah."
After a tiring day, it was already early in the morning, but he still
couldn't rest. Su Weian felt a little distressed and asked, "Is it
urgent?"
"Well, I have to submit it again in the next two days."
Because of her, he wanted to apply for Huntington's project. Su
Wei'an always felt guilty and said seriously: "Is there anything I can
do to help?"
"It's okay, you can rest."
"Anyway, I'll be watching you while I'm lying here. Why don't I do
something for you."
Her eyes were sincere and clear. Just looking at him like that, Gu
Yuncheng couldn't help but sigh: "Really want to help?"
Su Wei'an nodded: "Yes."
Gu Yunzheng moved to the other side of the bed to make room for
her. Su Weian stood up and went over, lying down next to the bed,
carefully leaving a gap between the two of them.
He moved the computer towards her, pointed to the research
design part and said, "The director feels that the sample size
required for this experimental design is too large, which will create
difficulties in feasibility."
Su Wei'an pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the
cross-examination?"
"I'm also considering this, but it would be more difficult to calculate
the sample size."
Su Wei'an raised his head and looked at him, and said without
hesitation: "I have done similar calculations before, let me help
you."
As she spoke, she took his computer and put it in front of her,
modified the sample size calculation formula, and then asked: "How
many experimental conditions are there?"
"2 kinds."
"That's okay, let me do the math, 0.3% multiplied by 164 divided by
4..."
Gu Yunzheng reminded her: "You cannot use 0.3%. This is the
number calculated under the previous test conditions. It needs to be
changed here."
"But the calculated numbers in the end are the same," she said,
naturally taking Gu Yunzheng's hand and counting in his palm,
"Look, the numerator and denominator have been changed, but
here it just works. Even if I lost the appointment, it’s still 0.3%..."
Gu Yunzheng shook his head, took her hand and started to draw:
"No, look here, after the calculation, we have to divide another 2."
Su Wei'an was silent for a moment, something like this: "Well...
that's 0.15..." She thought for a while, then felt something was
wrong, pointed to the back part and asked, "In this case, does this
number also need to be Change?"
"Which one?"
In order for him to see clearly, Su Wei'an moved closer to him:
"Here."
Gu Yunzheng nodded: "We must change too."
Su Weian calculated quickly, quickly filled in the numbers to be
changed, put the computer back in front of him, and said proudly:
"Solved!"
When she looked up, she realized that the two people were very
close to each other. She suddenly panicked and subconsciously
wanted to run away, but Gu Yunzheng snatched her back into her
arms. Her nose bumped into his chest. He groaned in pain: "What
are you doing?"
Gu Yunzheng looked at her: "You want to run away because you
miscalculated?"
Su Weian said angrily: "Where did I make a mistake?"
He pointed to a number on the computer: "You must have forgotten
to divide the numerator by 2 when you calculated this number!"
Su Weian thought about it and couldn't remember for a moment
whether he had eliminated the 2, but Gu Yunzheng didn't see how
she calculated it just now, so why was he so sure?
She said harshly: "Except!"
Gu Yunzheng said firmly in a low voice: "It's not eliminated!"
Su Wei'an stared at him: "Except!"
Gu Yunzheng sighed lightly and quickly repeated the algorithm to
her: "185 multiplied by 0.3 divided by 2 and then divided by 4 is
about 7, and you calculated it to be more than ten..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Weian, who had already realized
that he had made a mistake, leaned forward, touched his lips in a
flattering manner, and then ran away: "It's too late, I'm going to bed
first. "
Just as she was about to turn around and crawl back to her bed,
she was caught back again. Gu Yunzheng said to her seriously:
"Didn't you say that you would always look at me even if you were
lying down? Then just stay here and I'll give it to you." You have a
good perspective.”
Su Weian: "..."
After that, Gu Yunzheng began to revise the content of the research
background. Su Wei'an, who had limited knowledge of this
research, could not help much and could only provide moral
support. At first, she tried her best to open her heavy eyelids, but as
time went by, As time went on, she finally leaned on Gu Yunzheng
and fell asleep.
She didn't feel comfortable sleeping this time. It seemed a bit
crowded. She subconsciously moved in the direction of Gu
Yunzheng, trying to squeeze him...
When she opened her eyes, she first looked at the unfamiliar ceiling
and remembered where she was. When she turned her head, she
found that Gu Yunzheng had one hand under her head, but she had
squeezed him against the bed. But he was still sleeping, probably
because he was too tired.
Su Wei'an, who was filled with guilt, moved back. As soon as the
animal moved, someone took it back completely. Gu Yunzheng,
who was half asleep, opened his sleepy eyes and looked at her:
"Where are you going?"
Su Weian blamed himself: "Did I squeeze you in?"
Gu Yunzheng responded vaguely: "Yes."
Su Weian felt even more guilty: "I'm going to pack my things. I'm
sorry to disturb your rest. There's still some time for you to have a
good sleep."
Just as she was about to get up, Gu Yunzheng pulled her back and
pressed her into his arms. He said, "Don't move. I'll just sleep like
this for a while. It's good."
Last night he stayed up very late revising the project document. The
project document seemed to be getting better and better, but his
mood became worse and worse. He searched through the research
in recent decades and wrote more than 2,000 words of project
background. , but it can be summed up in one sentence as "the
mechanism is unclear and the treatment is unclear." He closed his
computer in the middle of the night, and what he was thinking about
while half asleep was still Huntington's pathogenic hypothesis and
pathway mechanism.
Although he never told her about it, he never cared about it, nor
was he not afraid.
It has been more than a hundred years since Dr. Huntington
described the inheritance of this disease in 1872. For more than a
hundred years, the treatment method is still such a painless and
painless situation. How long do they have? ten years? Twenty
years?
He has been a doctor for so many years, and he has never felt so
scared. What he is afraid of is not how difficult the research process
is, but the confusion of not even having a direction. There have
been so many hypotheses for more than a hundred years, but no
one can figure it out until the end. I don’t know which one is right. If
you are on the wrong path from the beginning...
He didn't dare to think about it any more.
As a doctor, he always believed that everything happened for a
reason, but at this moment, he was looking forward to a miracle
more than anyone else. That kind of confused and blind expectation
made him feel powerless.
What made him feel even more powerless was that he knew very
well that she would leave him early without waiting until things got
to the worst point.
She said she didn't want to burden anyone.
She also said that she didn't want to be with him in the future.
Gu Yunzheng rubbed the head of the person in his arms and
hesitated to speak in her ear: "Weian, have you ever thought that
when we are together, even if you squeeze me at night, I should
and am willing to bear it, you don't have to Do you feel any guilt at
all?"
Have you ever thought that if we are together, even if one day you
will be stupid or disabled, this is what I should and will be willing to
do for the rest of my life?
But Su Weian certainly didn't think so.
She smiled disapprovingly: "At first, you thought me squeezing you
was romantic and sweet. However, after waiting for a long time,
when you got up in a hurry because of lack of sleep and had no
time to eat breakfast, when you were dizzy and had to stand for a
day of surgery. When you are on stage, you will find that ordinary
life is the most important. People are inherently selfish. When you
can think of others, of course you should think more about others."
She understood.
She actually understood the implication of his words, but her inner
thoughts were far firmer than his.
Gu Yunzheng only felt a little confused, but he could still speak so
clearly and eloquently even though he said casually, she was really
his enemy.
He was about to say something more, but at this moment, the alarm
clock rang.
He then thought that acting too hastily would only make her more
stressed, so it would be better to let them have a long time.
"Come on, let's freshen up and go have breakfast."
Next Chapter: The Healer’s Seventh Medicine is Fearless
When they arrived at the venue, there were still ten minutes before
the official start of the conference. The venue was almost full. Gu
Yunzheng and Su Weian were not specialists in neurology. They
only came here for Wen Yuliang's lecture and there was no need to
go. I grabbed those front seats with others and found a spot near
the door and sat down.
Wen Yuliang was one of the great professors highly praised by the
conference, and his lectures were ranked relatively high. Professor
Wen took the stage an hour after the conference started.
Wen Yuliang has spoken at countless conferences before, and he
is already familiar with this kind of situation. The originally boring
research background and experimental design can make his
speech interesting, especially the last sentence: "I want the patient
to agree to join the group." , we need to explain to them the
principles of our drug and how we designed this trial. Huntington is
considered unpopular in the neurology department. I believe that
what I have said before is the only one who can really understand it
in this venue. A small number of patients, not to mention patients
with no medical background, especially when you mention the
possible risks to them one by one, they will become very hesitant.
At this time, doctors as such How should the conductor of the study
communicate with the patients? When the inexperienced doctors in
my group saw the patients hesitating, they would say, "Go back and
think about it carefully before doing it again." Originally, we could
reach a study of 400 patients, and that was it. It’s out of
consideration.”
Professor Wen spread his hands humorously, and all the doctors in
the venue laughed.
Wen Yuliang continued: "But when I face such hesitant patients, I
will tell them that this is a disease that has been studied for more
than a hundred years. Not to mention the method of cure, there are
only very few methods of control. We all know how this disease will
develop. It will lose control, become stupid, and even lead to death.
The worst is this. If this experimental drug happens to have an
effect on your condition, wouldn't you? Have you earned it? Every
time I explain this clearly to patients, they will quickly agree to join
the group and sign the consent form."
Applause broke out in the venue.
Amidst the admiration from the audience, Gu Yunzheng only felt his
heart tightening. He turned his head to look at Su Weian. Her
expression was indeed unnatural. Wen Yuliang said, "There are
only a few ways to control it." and "She will lose control." , will
become stupid, or even die." Sure enough, it penetrated into her
heart. Gu Yunzheng held Su Wei'an's hand with some worry and
comforted her.
Wen Yuliang's speech continued: "Then let's take a look at what
happened after they joined the group."
He turned the PowerPoint page backwards, and two images
appeared side by side on the screen. They were of the same
patient. One was before the trial treatment this year, and the other
was after the treatment. The patient's dance-like movements had
different amplitudes and frequencies. dropped.
There was thunderous applause.
In order to protect the patient's privacy and respect for the patient,
the patient's face in the video was covered with a mosaic. However,
Gu Yunzheng still noticed that the patient in it looked familiar. This
was...
His heart tightened, and he turned his head to look at Su Weian
beside him. He saw her staring straight at the picture on the screen.
Only then did Gu Yunzheng confirm that this was her father.
He whispered: "For your safety..."
Su Weian shook uncontrollably.
Gu Yunzheng suddenly regretted: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have
brought you here to hear this."
As he said this, he was about to get up and take her away, but Su
Wei'an held him tightly.
"I...I'm fine." After a pause, she lowered her head and rubbed her
face with her hands, "I...should be fine..."
Wen Yuliang's two videos are not fake. The control of her father's
symptoms by taking medicine is indeed a visible improvement. For
such a disease that has few control methods, this improvement is
enough to make all the doctors in the audience marvel. , but for
patients...
For patients…
I still can't dress, wash, eat or drink by myself. I have no quality of
life at all. I wake up with the same despair every day.
If she were still the medical student she was more than two years
ago, sitting here and listening to the professor's well-founded
lectures, she would be as impressed as the other doctors present.
But now, she feels that they, the doctors, , is it too cruel to the
patient?
It just looks a little better, but the score on the scale has improved.
Do they need to be as proud as if they have accomplished some
extraordinary feat?
Not to mention that her father ended up with two ruptured
aneurysms as the end point of experimental treatment. Why didn't
he mention it here?
She must ask him!
The following lecture ended with almost unstoppable applause from
the audience, and finally entered the question-and-answer session.
After all, they are facing the top professors in the country. After all,
this is the largest neurology conference in the country. The doctors
are also a little cautious and don't dare to be the first to raise their
hands to ask questions. The host looked around the room and
couldn't help but smile and said to Wen Yuliang : "It seems that you
made it very clear and everyone has no problem!"
The audience below nodded one after another, and Wen Yuliang
smiled and said: "No matter where you are, don't be polite. If you
have any questions, please feel free to ask them..."
Before he finished speaking, they saw a person raising his hand
near the back door. Perhaps because the position was a bit off,
they didn't notice it before.
The field attendant helped hand the microphone to Su Wei'an.
Under everyone's gaze, Su Weian stood up and said in an
unusually calm voice: "In clinical trials of new drugs, the two parts
that everyone is most concerned about are the efficacy and the side
effects. Professor Wen just explained in detail We have introduced
the efficacy of the drug, so I would like to ask Professor Wen, did
any adverse reactions occur during this trial?"
Her question was straightforward and sharp, attracting the attention
of everyone present. Who is this person's origin? Dare to question
the top professor in the country on such an occasion?
Faced with such a tricky question, Wen Yuliang was not annoyed at
all. Instead, he smiled gracefully: "This is a very good question.
Indeed, for new drugs, what everyone is most concerned about is
how beneficial it is and whether it is harmful. So for us, Fortunately
for this trial, apart from some common gastrointestinal adverse
reactions, dizziness and other discomforts, no major adverse
reactions have been found with this drug."
Wen Yuliang's words made the audience in the audience couldn't
help but want to applaud. However, before their palms came
together, the woman who asked the question before said decisively:
"Yes! There are obviously adverse reactions of aneurysm!"
Wen Yuliang was also surprised when he heard the words
"aneurysm". Except for the people in his group, few people knew
about aneurysms. How could someone suddenly mention this
issue?
He looked intently at the source of the problem. The venue was
relatively large, and the distance between them was a bit far. He
had not looked at this person carefully just now, but at this moment,
he unexpectedly felt that this young woman looked familiar, and that
voice...
This is……
He frowned: "Are you a family member of the patient a few days
ago?"
Wen Yuliang's words almost caused the scene to explode.
Everyone looked at Su Weian in unison. Even the field staff couldn't
sit still and were ready to ask people to leave at any time.
If this person is really a family member of the patient, how did she
get in? What is she doing here?
Facing the questioning eyes of the audience, Su Weian choked,
and the questions he prepared next were also stuck in his throat.
She is indeed a family member of the patient, but how can this
identity be mentioned on such an occasion? Once they know that
she is a family member of the patient, all her problems will not be
viewed objectively and fairly.
She pursed her lips under the many unkind glances.
But at this moment, Gu Yunzheng, who was sitting next to her,
stood up and took the microphone from her hand.
"Professor Wen, hello, I am Gu Yunzheng, a doctor at the
Neurosurgery Department of Huaren Hospital. This is my student.
We just received three patients who participated in your drug trial
not long ago. They developed hemangioma one after another. The
information is also I have sorted it out and sent it to your team. I
think what my student just wanted to ask you is whether the
conditions of these three aneurysm patients have received enough
attention and whether they are related to the experimental drugs."
Gu Yunzheng was calm and calm, and explained the cause and
effect of the matter clearly. When everyone heard the words, they
all nodded in understanding, "So that's it." Then he looked at Wen
Yuliang. After all, there were three patients. It didn't look like a
simple coincidence.
"It's quite interesting that the neurosurgery doctors come here
specifically to hold the annual meeting of the Department of Internal
Medicine." Wen Yuliang said, smiling a little, as if he just found it
interesting, and then explained carefully, "We received these three
patients with aneurysms. After receiving the subject's information,
we conducted an evaluation as soon as possible. As we all know,
the occurrence of a disease is caused by multiple factors. It does
not mean that because he is in the experimental group, it is caused
by drugs. Therefore, we comprehensively assess the disease for
each patient. After analysis, it was determined that the occurrence
of this aneurysm had nothing to do with drugs. As for how to
determine, this is very complicated. After all, time is limited. If I
continue to talk about it, I am afraid that the experts behind me will
come up and chase me away. So I’ll stop here today, but it’s a
really good question, and thank you to these two young doctors.”
After he finished speaking, he bowed and immediately walked off
the stage.
The audience burst into applause for this great professor's
calmness and humor. For most of the doctors present, it is enough
to hear Professor Wen say that they have conducted an analysis to
confirm that it has nothing to do with drugs. As for how they
analyzed it, they are not doing this research after all, so it does not
matter. In the end, it is the big professor. You won't lie.
However, after hearing Wen Yuliang's words, Su Wei'an and Gu
Yunzheng looked at each other, and their thoughts were basically
the same. Wen Yuliang said so much, but actually explained
nothing.
But it’s not okay to linger here anymore. After all, the scene is too
big and there are meetings pressing on it. It’s impossible to give
them time to argue about this. It’s also impossible to embarrass a
professor like Wen Yuliang in front of so many people. Su Wei An
Yuan wanted to wait for the meeting to take a break before asking
Wen Yuliang. However, after getting off the stage, Wen Yuliang was
led directly out of the venue by the meeting attendant. Su Wei'an
found the meeting attendant during the intermission and found out
that Wen Yuliang had already rushed back. of the plane.
Gu Yunzheng looked at Su Weian who was a little anxious, gently
rubbed her head and said, "Don't worry, we should go back."
On Monday, Su Weian came to Zhanghe Hospital again.
Before Wen Yuliang could speak, Dr. Yang behind him also
attended the conference yesterday and recognized Su Weian. He
was already looking at her with hostility and said in a slightly
sarcastic tone: "What are you doing again and again?" , isn’t it
because you want compensation?”
Su Weian was startled and felt a little unbelievable: "Of course not.
If it was for compensation, would I stand alone in front of you guys
like this? I just want to ask if you have reported the aneurysm to
Ethical review committee?”
"No need." Wen Yuliang's answer was decisive. "The patients with
these three aneurysms, including your father, all have a history of
hypertension. The aneurysms are due to the patients' own
problems and have nothing to do with the experimental drugs. They
do not need to be reported."
Su Wei'an said in shock: "My father's blood pressure has only
reached around 150/95 in the past two years, and oral
antihypertensive drugs have controlled it at around 130/80. How
could he develop such a serious aneurysm at this level?"
Wen Yuliang said with some displeasure: "The patients' personal
constitutions are different, so the conditions are of course different."
After he finished speaking, the doctor on the side glanced at Su
Weian coldly, and then said respectfully to Wen Yuliang: "Director,
the noon scientific meeting will start in 5 minutes."
Wen Yuliang nodded, walked around Su Weian and left.
Su Wei'an turned around, once again got in front of Wen Yuliang,
and said resolutely: "No matter what, such serious adverse events
should be reported to the ethics review committee. Whether it is
caused by drugs is not your decision. It should be decided by They
went to investigate, didn’t they?”
Wen Yuliang was already a little impatient with her, and lectured
her: "This medicine can relieve 30% to 50% of the symptoms of
most patients. Previous basic tests have not found any serious
adverse reactions. If some inappropriate reactions are reported, Do
you know how many people that would despair if the trial was
stopped to determine if there were symptoms related to it or not?”
Faced with Wen Yuliang's accusation, Su Weian did not shy away
and said: "Giving them false hope will make them despair. No
matter what the reason is, doctors cannot conceal the possible
adverse reactions of drugs from patients. The difference between
efficacy and side effects The choice should be the patient’s right,
right?”
Wen Yuliang frowned and looked at Su Wei'an sharply with slightly
narrowed eyes: "Are you trying to teach me a lesson?"
"I did not mean that……"
"Our trial had more than 300 people, many of whom had risk factors
such as high blood pressure for many years, and the rate of an
aneurysm was less than 1%, which doesn't mean anything at all."
Su Wei'an had never imagined that Wen Yuliang's attitude would be
so cold, but also determined. She thought that the worst case
scenario was that their team had not had time to study the patient's
aneurysm clearly, but in fact they did not seem to have. Taking it
too seriously.
Yes, with more than 300 subjects, there can be such a large sample
of clinical trials in a rare disease like Huntington, which is enough to
show Wen Yuliang's ability and status. How many pairs of eyes are
paying attention to them, and now only 3 have appeared. The
number of patients with aneurysms is less than 1%, which does not
seem to affect the overall situation. However, in clinical trials, the
safety principle should apply to 100% of subjects, not 99%.
Su Weian stared at him: "So you have to wait until another patient
develops an aneurysm, and the incidence rate exceeds 1%, before
you are willing to admit that this drug has a risk of aneurysm?"
"There will be no more patients! Stop wasting my time. Either you
provide direct evidence to prove the relationship between
aneurysms and experimental drugs, or please stop wasting my
time!"
After Wen Yuliang finished speaking, he looked at Su Weian
condescendingly. His sharp eyes seemed to be mocking Su Weian
for the fact that it was impossible to produce evidence and that he
could do nothing but talk nonsense here.
He asked his daughter at Huaren Hospital yesterday about the
situation of the two young doctors in the neurosurgery department.
Unexpectedly, when Wen Ran heard Su Wei'an's name, she
sneered disdainfully: "She? She dropped out of school two years
ago. Well, what kind of doctor is he?"
You're not even a doctor, so you dare to come here to educate
him?
You are so powerful, just show everyone direct evidence!
Just when Wen Yuliang felt that Su Weian was speechless, he
heard her suddenly say: "What if I really find evidence?"
He looked up and saw Su Weian looking at him coldly, but
unusually firm.
He was slightly startled, but quickly came to his senses and
sneered: "Then I will terminate the experiment immediately and
apologize in public."
"Okay, we have an agreement!"
Wen Yuliang glanced at Su Weian and felt that she was really
overestimating her abilities, like a joke. He didn't want to answer
and left with a group of people behind him.
When he returned to Huaren Hospital, Su Weian went directly to Gu
Yunzheng.
She got straight to the point: "You said before that you wanted me
to be an assistant researcher and come to the hospital to help you.
Does that still count?"
Gu Yunzheng was a little surprised by her sudden change of
attitude. He nodded and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Wen Yuliang asked me to bring out evidence to prove the direct
relationship between aneurysms and their experimental drugs. I
have to go back to the laboratory and prove it to them." After a
pause, Su Wei'an asked, "Where is the hospital recruiting? When?
Should I prepare my resume or something first?"
But Gu Yunzheng stabilized her: "Wei'an, don't be impatient. Think
about it. You want to apply for a position, not just stay here
temporarily."
Su Weian naturally understood what he meant. She sighed softly,
nodded and said, "I know."
On the way back, she thought a lot.
She was not only angry with Wen Yuliang and wanted to prove him
wrong, so she wanted to return to the laboratory, but also because
of herself.
She likes laboratories, experiments, and scientific research. Even if
you are so angry that you want to jump because of the
contaminated incubator, even if you are so angry that you want to
throw a computer at the wall because of the wrong statistics, but no
matter how difficult it is, it can't be worth seeing the good data
graphs in front of you. The moment I save the hard-written article
into a PDF and add "final version" in the title, the sense of
accomplishment is incomparable.
But that was when she didn't know how she felt when she was sick.
Every time she got a small result, every small step forward, she
would feel extremely happy. However, when she became a patient,
faced with such an annoying person like Huntington, she felt
extremely happy. A desperate problem, every small step she takes
just reminds her that there are still 99,999 steps to go.
She didn't want to let herself dislike or even hate the scientific
research she once loved so much, so she would rather stay away
and hold on to vain hope, which was better than despair.
But when she saw the attitude of Wen Yuliang, the great professor
who led domestic Huntington research, facing the research that
carried the hopes of so many Huntington patients with such an
arrogant attitude, she lost all hope. How could she still pretend? I
don’t know anything, so let such a person lead the clinical research
of Huntington in China?
At this time, compared to the despair of being unable to do
anything, she would hate herself for not doing anything more.
She wants to come back.
Gu Yunzheng, who has been studying glioma for nearly ten years
and has never encountered Huntington's research before, changed
her subject so decisively and resolutely. She has never been afraid
of anything, and what is she afraid of?
She held Gu Yunzheng's hand, looked at him and said firmly: "I
know, I want to come back and be with you."
Gu Yunzheng looked at her expression and already understood
something. He held his lips and nodded: "Okay."
She said she wanted to come back and be with him.
Even though this may be a dead end, at least she can face the
future, at least she is no longer afraid, and, at least, they are
together.
really good.
But it is not a simple matter to get a job now. Gu Yunzheng
explained to her carefully: "The recruitment for the hospital's
graduation season ended two months ago, and the quotas for each
department have been determined. In this If you want to recruit
more people, you must obtain the consent of the department
director, Director Wang Huanzhong, and the approval of the dean in
charge of personnel, so after you prepare the materials, I will take
you to see Director Wang first."
Su Weian agreed without thinking: "Okay."
Faced with the request made by his proud disciple, Wang
Huanzhong took special care and made time for the interview with
Su Weian.
Taking the resume handed over by Su Wei'an, Wang Huanzhong
just quickly scanned the awards written above that Su Wei'an won
when he was in school. Listening to Su Wei'an's self-introduction,
he spoke simply and directly: "Since you You were so good at that
time, why did you drop out?"
Su Weian glanced at Gu Yunzheng, who was standing next to
Wang Huanzhong, and said, "My father has Huntington's disease,
and his symptoms are getting worse and worse. When I
accompanied him to the specialist clinic, I found that no matter how
famous the professor was, other than telling us Apart from the fact
that the disease is incurable, there is almost nothing that can be
done, and I suddenly became a little disappointed with the
profession of doctor."
"Then why are you coming back now?"
"My father and two other patients participated in Huntington's drug
clinical trial, and both suffered aneurysms. However, the
experimental team refused to admit that this was an adverse event
caused by the drug. I want to find direct evidence to show them to
avoid The remaining patients in the trial experienced similar
dangerous events over the next year."
Wang Huanzhong put her resume back on the coffee table and
pushed up his glasses: "You are talking about Professor Wen's
experiment at Zhanghe Hospital, right?" As he spoke, he seemed to
have remembered something, and turned to Gu Yunzheng who was
standing aside: " I heard that at the Neurology Conference two days
ago, you asked Professor Wen a question, which made him a little
embarrassed. Before the application for Huntington's project was
completed, you had already offended the most authoritative expert
on Huntington in China. "
This matter has actually reached Director Wang’s ears?
Su Wei'an looked at Gu Yunzheng with some worry, but saw that
he remained calm and explained calmly: "I just felt that Professor
Wen was a little vague about adverse events, so I asked a few
more questions. After all, the academic conference is for everyone
to communicate and discuss. Yes, I believe Professor Wen won’t be
surprised.”
Wang Huanzhong did not comment after hearing this. He just
glanced at Su Weian's resume and challenged Su Weian: "So you
are using our department as a springboard to seek justice for your
father?"
Su Wei'an quickly shook his head: "No, when we signed the
informed consent form for the trial, we had to bear the risk of
adverse events, so it does not involve fairness or injustice, but this
matter involves the truth and safety that are most important in
scientific research. Problem, I want to prove to them that research
should look like research. I want to do good research. Even if my
desire to develop Huntington’s treatment is a hundred times more
urgent than theirs, I will not sacrifice myself. Complete with
authenticity and safety.”
“Good research cannot be done casually!”
"I know that even if you work hard, you may not be able to study
anything, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely not be able to
study anything, so..." Su Wei'an took a deep breath and said firmly,
"I want to try, just in case. ."
Wang Huanzhong nodded, seeming to agree with her words, but
when he spoke again, his tone did not soften: "I heard that you
reported Dr. He before, why do you think you let our department
lose such a big person?" Will I still allow you to work in our
department in the future?"
"Because Dr. Gu said that you are a reasonable person. Since you
are reasonable, you must understand that it is not me who makes
Corey embarrassed, but Dr. He who robbed the fruits of my labor to
please the daughter of a professor from another hospital."
Wang Huanzhong glanced at Gu Yunzheng, seeming to blame but
couldn't bear to say: "You kid!"
As he spoke, he stood up. While Su Weian was nervously waiting
for the results, he said, "Next time you go to see a professor from
another hospital, remember to bring the direct evidence you found."
Su Weian was startled for a moment, then realized that Wang
Huanzhong had agreed, and bowed happily: "Thank you!"
After passing the director's first test, Su Wei'an breathed a long sigh
of relief and said to Gu Yunzheng: "The next step is to see if the
hospital can agree to give Corey this spot."
Gu Yunzheng thought for a moment, and then said: "I will take you
to find the dean tomorrow."
Su Wei'an hesitated and asked, "Wouldn't it be better for us to go
directly to the dean?"
Gu Yunzheng pursed his lips slightly: "It's okay." He paused for a
moment, "Anyway, no matter how I go to find him, it won't be
good..."
I originally thought that it was just because I had missed the
application season and caused a lot of trouble for others, so the
dean would probably not be happy. But it was not until he stood in
the dean's office that Su Weian truly understood what Gu Yunzheng
meant. The dean was none other than Gu Yunzheng's father, Dean
Du.
From the moment he walked in, Su Weian felt that the atmosphere
around him seemed to be frozen. Dean Du had a straight face and
frowned, while Gu Yunzheng stood expressionless one meter away
from his desk. He didn't even want to take a step closer. This was
the first time Gu Yunzheng came to Dean Du for help. If it weren't
for Su Weian, he would probably never stand here like this.
Su Wei'an handed the document bag to Dean Du's desk and
introduced himself politely: "Hello, Dean Du, I am Su Wei'an, a
2015 graduate of the Department of Clinical Medicine of Hua
Medical University, and I want to compete for the position. For the
position of assistant researcher in neurosurgery, here is my resume
and related materials, please take a look."
Dean Du glanced at the document bag, did not move, and asked
coldly: "What academic qualifications?"
How could Su Weian not understand what he meant? After a
pause, he said: "Undergraduate degree."
Dean Du finished signing the last document, closed the pen, and
looked up at her: "Lao Wang called me and mentioned you. There
is indeed a recruitment quota for neurosurgery this year, but apart
from you In addition, there is also a doctor who will graduate this
year who wants to stay in the hospital."
Su Weian wanted to fight for it again: "Dean Du..."
Dean Du raised his hand to stop her: "You don't need to say more.
At 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, I will call you both here for an
interview. We will know who will enter and who will leave."
Being able to have an interview opportunity means relying on your
strength. Although Su Wei'an knew that Dean Du's original intention
was to let her quit before the difficulties, she was grateful to have
such an opportunity. Since they were interviewing together, even if
she couldn't prove herself, At least I can be convinced.
But when he saw Du Yuncheng and Wen Ran sitting on the sofa in
the dean's office, Su Wei'an thought it was unexpected. But thinking
about it carefully, it was expected. It turned out that the one dean
Du wanted The doctor staying in the hospital is Wen Ran. In the last
round of interviews, Wen Ran was not successfully selected
because of the incident that was reported. However, due to her
status as a doctor of the hospital, a student of the second-leading
neurosurgery department, the daughter of Professor Zhang Heda,
and her experience of publishing papers during her studies,
Coupled with the help of the dean's son Du Yuncheng, she won this
second chance.
Dean Du was sitting in the middle, with Du Yuncheng and Wen Ran
on the left and right, Gu Yunzheng and Su Weian. Du Yuncheng
was also surprised when he saw Su Weian, but in a blink of an eye
he saw Gu Yuncheng next to her, and he quickly calmed down. ,
said: "I..."
But before he could say anything, Dean Du stopped him: "Today is
an interview for these two female students. I only ask you to come
here so that you can watch from the side, so as not to complain
about the results."
Although this was said to Du Yuncheng, it was said to Gu
Yuncheng. After all, judging from all conditions, Su Weian seemed
to be the weak one.
Gu Yunzheng remained expressionless, unmoved and unmoved by
Dean Du's remarks just now, but Dean Du knew that he heard it.
Dean Du then started the interview and said to Wen Ran:
"Introduce yourself."
Wen Ran smiled sweetly and said: "Okay, Dean, I am a student
studying for undergraduate and Ph.D. at Huayi Medical University. I
will graduate with my Ph.D. this year. My supervisor is Deputy
Director Zhang of the Department of Neurosurgery. My topic is
glioma. I have published 3 papers so far. I have written an SCI
article with a cumulative impact factor of over 10. I have participated
in the 'Science Cup' extracurricular scientific and technological
works competition for college students and won the first prize. I
have also won awards in many English competitions. But I know
that as a doctor, these are not the most important. I will work hard
to improve myself and become a surgeon with superb medical
skills.”
Su Wei'an didn't expect that Wen Ran could mention the first-prize
winning work of the "Science Cup" so calmly in front of her at this
time. After all, it was something she took away from Su Wei'an. An
only reported her to the magazine, and the competition did not
bother to take care of it. She originally thought that Wen Ran would
know how to restrain herself, but unexpectedly, she really
underestimated Wen Ran.
Dean Du nodded after listening, looking very satisfied: "It only took
you 8 years from undergraduate to PhD. It's already very good that
you can publish 3 SCI papers. You also participated in the
competition and your results are also very good. The most
important thing is He has a high level of awareness and knows very
well that he is a doctor, and a doctor’s job is to treat illnesses and
save people. Young people have a promising future.”
Wen Ran smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Dean, for your
encouragement. I will work hard!"
Dean Du immediately lowered his expression and looked at Su
Weian: "You should also introduce yourself."
Su Weian said briefly: "Su Weian, female, 26 years old, is a student
of Hua Medical University studying for undergraduate and Ph.D.,
but she applied for early graduation at the end of her undergraduate
degree. During her time in school, she represented the school in
municipal and national medical competitions. , won the first prize,
the National Scholarship for three consecutive years, the first-class
scholarship for two years, and the three outstanding students for
five years. In my sixth year, I joined the research group of
neurosurgery, conducted animal experiments and completed an
article.”
Su Weian also completed the article?
Dean Du frowned and asked, "Has this article been published?"
Originally, he wanted to remind her of the gap between completing
the article and actually publishing it. She had only written one
article, so she could not compare with Wen Ran who had published
three articles. However, he did not expect that after hearing his
question, Su Wei'an smiled slightly. Pulling her lips, she looked at
Wen Ran opposite and said, "Someone published it for me, and it's
a magazine with an impact factor greater than 5. It seems that the
quality of my work is good."
Wen Ran's face looked a little ugly, and he said aggrievedly:
"Wei'an, you misunderstood me about that incident. It was Teacher
He..."
Su Wei'an interrupted her: "We knew what happened back then,
and I'm too lazy to bring it up again, but seeing that one of the
articles you posted later was also about the experimental method of
fluorescent dyeing, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. you."
Wen Ran's face froze, knowing that Su Weian had bad intentions,
and wanted to refuse, but he looked at Du Yuncheng beside him
and Dean Du in the middle, and said nothing.
"Which company is the primary antibody you are using?"
Wen Ran's eyes were a little evasive: "There are so many reagents,
I can't remember them all..."
"Can't remember clearly? Well, according to your article, it's about
Meica Company."
Wen Ran had no intention of fighting and said perfunctorily: "That's
it."
"What methods did you use to reduce the false positive rate during
immunofluorescence staining?"
This question was asked by Wen Ran through video when Su
Weian was still in Central Africa not long ago. Now that he was
asked back, Wen Ran's eyes were a little dodgeful and he
hesitated: "Extend...extend the closure time to one hour."
"Any more?"
Wen Ran said perfunctorily: "I have written down the specific
methods in the test methods section, there is nothing special."
Su Wei'an looked at her sharply, having already seen through her,
and said: "The receptor protein primary antibodies purchased by Dr.
He Xiaoguang's laboratory were mailed to the laboratory from the
United States in March 2014. This batch of antibodies from the
antibody company There are special markings on the instructions. It
is necessary to increase the blocking time, reduce the primary
antibody incubation time, and add reagents for flushing to avoid
false positives as much as possible. This batch of reagents was
later improved, so the reviewer of your article did not I noticed that
according to your experimental method, the experimental results
are completely irreproducible. Since we are talking about it now, I
would like to ask, should you withdraw this article yourself or should
I withdraw it for you?"
Su Wei'an spoke in an understatement and with a little playfulness.
Wen Ran's complexion was already purple. Not to mention when
she bought these reagents, she didn't even know what the
instructions looked like, and of course she didn't know what was
written on them. What, when Su Wei'an mentioned it, she felt very
panicked. When she turned her head, she saw Du Yuncheng
frowning and looking at her in shock. She quickly waved her hand
and tried to explain: "Wei'an, you may remember Wrong, the
reagent...the reagent was not bought in 2014..."
Su Weian didn't hesitate at all, and said: "There are clear records of
the project funds for purchasing reagents. Since you think I
remembered it wrong, let's go check it out."
Wen Ran's face was green with purple, and purple with black. She
wanted to be angry, but she didn't dare to be bold in front of the
dean. She tried her best to smooth things over for herself: "Maybe...
maybe she used other materials from Corey." It’s the teacher’s
reagent…”
Su Wei'an watched her nonsense coldly, not bothering to expose
the fact that the only people in her department who made this
receptor were He Xiaoguang and Deputy Director Zhang. Under
such circumstances, the antibodies of these two people were never
separated from each other, and they took turns to buy and use
them together. , there were no other teachers’ reagents to speak of.
Su Weian spoke concisely and to the point, like a sharp arrow going
straight to the center: “You don’t even know whose reagents you
are using or what reagents you are using. Is this how you do
scientific research? ?”
There are all smart people present, not to mention that the dean is
personally in charge. At this moment, dean Du's face is not very
good. At this point, it is meaningless to continue talking. As the
dean of the entire hospital, regardless of other conditions Anyway,
he will never allow any ambiguity in academic matters. He was
naturally aware of the retraction of He Xiaoguang and Wen Ran's
papers, but the explanations given by the two at that time were that
Su Weian was greedy for merit, and He Xiaoguang was not
considerate enough before he got angry. Although her name has
been removed, the results of the research are all true and reliable,
only because of the dispute over the author's signature. It was
precisely because of this that he gave Wen Ran a second chance.
But in just a few minutes, Wen Ran's prevarication was vulnerable
to Su Wei'an's questioning. This should never be the case. What a
medical student who has been engaged in scientific research for
several years should be like!
Wen Ran knew something was wrong, her face turned slightly red,
and she tried desperately to think of an excuse: "I..."
But Dean Du had no patience to listen to her explanation anymore.
He stood up from the sofa and had already made the final decision:
"I will tell Huanzhong to strictly check the quality of the department's
papers, and any articles with problems will be , the author will be
held accountable and will never be forgiven!"
He didn't mention anyone by name, but what he meant was clear.
Wen Ran's heart sank and she couldn't help but look at Du
Yuncheng for help. However, Du Yuncheng's expression did not
hide his disappointment in her.
As early as when she learned that she was going to confront Su
Weian, Wen Ran had guessed that it would involve the integrity of
her previously withdrawn paper, but in the end they both had
different opinions on the matter, and she had He Xiaoguang used it
as evidence, and there would be no final conclusion after the two
sides talked about it, but she never thought that Su Wei'an would
catch her with the issue of the article behind her.
Wen Ran suddenly felt a little hateful in her heart. She had asked
Su Wei'an during the video call how to reduce false positives in
staining. Su Wei'an knew that there was a problem with the
antibodies, but he just told her to increase the blocking time. It
turned out that it started from that time , Su Weian is plotting
against her!
Her face turned green and white, and she tried not to burst out in
front of the dean, but she looked at Su Wei'an with deep hatred in
her eyes, but she saw that Su Wei'an was bearing her resentment
with an indifferent expression.
The interview was over, and Dean Du sat back at his desk. This
was a sign that he could leave. Wen Ran could be said to have
humiliated herself in this interview. Even Du Yuncheng, who
brought her here, felt that his face was shameless, especially It was
extremely embarrassing in front of Gu Yunzheng and Su Wei'an. At
this moment, he didn't want to stay for a moment longer and just
wanted to leave quickly.
However, just as Du Yuncheng was about to walk towards the door,
he heard Gu Yuncheng's always cold voice coming from behind
him, but he could still hear the rare caution in it. Gu Yuncheng
asked: "So what is the result of this interview?"
If it was a choice between the two, there was no need to say more
about the result at this point, but Gu Yunzheng knew better that his
father, the dean, was definitely not someone who could use
common sense to speculate, so he asked this question.
Dean Du, who was sitting at his desk, raised his head when he
heard this and glanced at Gu Yunzheng silently. This glance was
enough for Gu Yunzheng to realize that something was unusual. He
did not give in at all and looked directly at Dean Du, waiting for his
answer. , so that he had to answer.
At this moment, I heard Wen Ranrou's weak voice. She seemed a
little timid and scared, but she still said it hesitantly: "After all... After
all...it is a position in a key department of a tertiary hospital. After
all, a bachelor's degree is ...It sounds a little hard to convince the
public..."
Now that the matter has come to this, since Wen Ran has no hope
of staying any longer, he can't let this seat be taken by Su Weian so
easily, can he?
What she said was exactly what Dean Du was thinking. Someone
raised a question on behalf of the dean, so the dean could naturally
use the opportunity to raise this question. Wen Ran understood
very well what Dean Du's silence at this moment meant.
Sure enough, facing Gu Yunzheng's attitude of not giving up until
the final answer, Dean Du leaned back on the large seat back and
looked back at Gu Yunzheng: "Although he had good grades and
won many awards when he was studying, Su My classmate’s
undergraduate degree is indeed a flaw, and I need to think about it
again.”
Gu Yunzheng said methodically: "Academic qualifications do not
represent ability, not to mention that the external recruitment
announcement does not require a postgraduate degree for the
position of assistant researcher. Since we are recruiting for the
department, shouldn't we refer to the opinions of the department
staff?"
After all, they are the ones who will work together in the future.
Rather than simply relying on academic qualifications and letting
the dean alone make the decision, shouldn't we refer to his
opinions?
Gu Yunzheng's words were polite and courteous. Dean Du frowned
and said with some displeasure: "I will go to your Director Wang to
discuss it in detail. Let's stop here today."
At this point, there is nothing to say.
Gu Yunzheng looked back at Su Weian, with some unwillingness in
his eyes. Su Weian shook his head lightly at him. It's okay. They
have tried their best. If in the end the dean and director feel that she
is not worthy of this position because of her academic qualifications,
then she There is nothing to say.
Gu Yunzheng frowned. Although it was not the best result, it was
better to win over Director Wang's opinion than to be directly
rejected on the grounds of academic qualifications. There were
rules for applying for jobs, and he had to respect them even if he
was unwilling to do so.
After all, he did not argue anymore, and as Dean Du wished, he
turned around and quietly left the office with Su Weian.
After leaving the office, Du Yuncheng's face was already ugly. Wen
Ran took two steps forward to hold his arm, but he avoided him. It
was originally because of his trust and support for his girlfriend that
he did so. Helping Wen Ran prepare all the materials and making
an appointment with his father for an interview, he never expected
that Su Wei'an would raise the issue of Wen Ran's scientific
research integrity at such a time. Anyone who does research will
understand the weight of this question. !
Having been with Du Yuncheng for such a long time, Wen Ran
naturally knew that Du Yuncheng's expression at this moment
meant that he was really angry. He had been warned by the dean to
thoroughly investigate the academic articles he had published
before. If Du Yuncheng lost because of this, what would it be?
Something terrible?
Wen Ran reached out to Du Yuncheng again, and explained in a
confused tone: "Yuncheng, I didn't, I didn't make a fake, and I didn't
lie to you. I really mean those instructions and manufacturers that
Su Wei'an said. I don’t even know, I just did the experiment
according to the plan given by Teacher He..."
As she said this, she seemed to remember something, and
suddenly turned her head, staring at Su Wei'an, and said: "It must
be her, it must be her doing something in the experimental method
in order to take revenge on Teacher He and me. Hands and feet!"
Wen Ran said, and suddenly felt that this statement became more
and more reasonable, "Yes, Yuncheng, do you remember? A few
months ago, I asked her in the video what to do if the false positive
was too severe after dyeing, and she said She didn’t say anything
about antibodies, she harmed me on purpose!”
Although there were only the four of them in the corridor, there were
ears in the administrative building. Wen Ran framed Su Weian in
this way. Gu Yunzheng frowned, his displeasure was obvious. He
was about to pull Su Weian behind him to protect him and warned
Wen Ran. He spoke carefully, but just as he held Su Weian's hand,
she held her hand in reverse.
Just listen to Su Weian's words eloquently: "Wen Ran, I don't care
how many logical loopholes there are in your words, but there is
one thing I want to remind you. In the past, I said whatever you
asked me, and I said whatever you asked me for. Why are you
helping? It’s because I regard you as a friend, but since you went to
He Xiaoguang to steal my experimental results, you are no longer
my friend. I help you because I am a kind person, but I won’t help
you. You deserve it!”
When he first entered college, many people criticized Wen Ran
behind his back, but Su Weian was always the first to stop him
whenever he encountered them;
Later, during the student union election, Liang Yayi accused her of
bribery, and Su Wei'an blocked the door of Liang Yayi's class to
defend Wen Ran;
Later, when she joined the research team, even though Wen Ran
couldn't even recognize the reagent bottle, Su Wei'an still
considered her an important collaborator and would put her in an
important position in every report.
But the so-called friendship is really nothing to Wen Ran.
For the sake of grades, Wen Ran snatched her things;
In order to take revenge, Wen Ran almost delayed her father's
treatment opportunity;
In order to clarify herself, Wen Ran put all the blame on her.
Su Wei'an said the last two words very seriously, and tears of
grievance flashed in Wen Ran's eyes in front of Du Yuncheng. Du
Yuncheng was upset and wanted to speak for Wen Ran: "There
may have been some misunderstanding about what happened back
then... "
Even Huntington got it. Su Wei'an originally thought that there was
nothing in this world that he couldn't bear to see, and some words
were too boring to talk about. But when he came back here again
after two years, he faced the still arrogant and unapologetic Wen
Ran and her. Du Yuncheng, who had always been kept in the dark
by her side, suddenly felt that it would be okay to say those boring
things.
Su Wei'an looked at Du Yuncheng and spoke, in an understatement
but seriously, she said: "You and Wen Ran are dating now, and it
wasn't my turn to say anything. But after two years, things have
changed, and I am back here. But you still helped me many times. I
am very grateful for this friendship, and I don’t want our classmates
of six years to end up with such unclear resentment.”
Su Wei'an said, paused, and faced Du Yuncheng's puzzled gaze
and continued: "I heard it with my own ears when Wen Ran
proposed to He Xiaoguang that she should be the first author.
There were no rumors or misunderstandings. As for whether I did
this experiment and whether I wrote the article, you often meet me
in the library and you should know better than anyone else.
"During that time, all I could think about was that subject. At that
time, you proposed dating me in full view of the public. I was caught
off guard without any expectation, so I left directly and embarrassed
you in public. But at that time, I was with you The person next to me
said that if I had another chance, I might really agree. Thinking
about it now, at that time, I probably felt very close to liking you, but
fate has brought it, and time has changed. If you miss it, you will
miss it. Okay, nothing to complain about.
"The reason I didn't tell you in advance about my relationship with
Gu Yunzheng is because I have many unspeakable secrets. These
unspeakable secrets could not be said before and cannot be said
now. But in any case, it is my fault for not taking your feelings into
consideration. I am sorry, but I I sincerely appreciate your care, and
I don’t want my six-year classmate to become someone you resent,
and I don’t want you to believe Wen Ran’s lies because of this.”
After the words fell, Su Wei'an raised his head and met Du
Yuncheng's shocked gaze. There was too much in this paragraph
that shocked him, especially when Su Wei'an mentioned that she
almost agreed when he confessed to her. , but at that time he went
to Wen Ran specifically to ask about Su Wei'an's feelings. He still
clearly remembered Wen Ran telling him: "Wei'an said she didn't
like you, but you confessed to her in front of so many people. It's
like putting pressure on her to make her agree, and she's a little
tired of it."
He never thought about forcing Su Weian, nor did he think that Su
Weian would be tired of him. These words were like being struck by
lightning in his heart. Just because he heard Wen Ran say this,
after that Until Su Weian dropped out of school, he had been
avoiding Su Weian, and he was depressed every day, and his life
was very depressed. At that time, Wen Ran always came to comfort
him and accompany him. He thought she understood him, That's
why he and Wen Ran came together.
But it turns out that none of this is true!
It turned out that Wen Ran had deceived him!
Including scientific research matters, he was not completely
unaware that Wen Ran might be lying, but he just thought that no
matter what others thought, as a friend and boyfriend, he should
trust her and support her, but this trust depends on Wen Ran. But
there is stupidity in his eyes, which can be used by her and teased
by her.
Su Weian said that if you missed it, you missed it, and there was
nothing to complain about. But why did he feel like he was floating
in the sea and the storm was passing by, in the dark but
desperately trying to find a glimmer of life?
Originally thinking about the awkward relationship between the two
of them, there were some things that Su Wei'an wanted to die in her
stomach, but now she breathed a sigh of relief when she said it,
probably because Du Yuncheng was someone who sincerely
helped her, and she should treat her with sincerity. Even if you don't
treat each other as friends in the future, you shouldn't have any
grudges.
She even wanted to stretch out her hand to shake hands with him
and say goodbye, but after struggling, she realized that Gu
Yunzheng's grip on her was a little stronger. She turned around and
saw Gu Yunzheng's face was expressionless, but his eyes were full
of displeasure.
Su Weian's heart dropped. Why was Associate Professor Gu...
angry?
Seeing Du Yuncheng's expression change from shock to shock,
shock to annoyance, annoyance to regret, and regret with a little
hope, Gu Yuncheng immediately pulled Su Weian behind him, and
he spoke with a deep voice. , slightly cold, clearly widening the
distance between the two parties: "That's enough of the old story,
we still have things to do, let's go first."
After he finished speaking, he took Su Weian and left without
looking back.
His pace was very fast, and Su Weian had a hard time following
him, but seeing that Gu Yunzheng was not in a good mood, she
trotted along and followed him obediently, without daring to stop
him and ask him to slow down.
After exiting the building and turning the corner, he noticed that Su
Weian was out of breath. Gu Yunzheng finally stopped. He turned
around without saying a word and just stared at him. Su Weian was
a little confused by his stare. I didn't dare to take a breath for a
while. After holding it in for a while, I finally couldn't hold it in any
longer. I curled my lips and asked, "Why are you so angry..."
Gu Yunzheng glared at her and said, "My girlfriend said she likes
someone else in front of me. Should I be happy?"
Associate Professor Gu is...jealous?
Su Wei'an resisted Gu Yunzheng's gaze and argued in a low voice:
"I didn't say that I liked others, but I just said that I might have been
a little bit..."
Seeing that Gu Yunzheng's expression was about to change, Su
Weian quickly shook his head firmly and said: "No, no, not at all!"
After saying that, she hugged Gu Yunzheng's arm and smiled
fawningly.
The next moment, Gu Yunzheng suddenly pushed her against the
wall, leaned over and kissed her. He came menacingly and
attacked the city, but she surrendered without any resistance. She
originally tried to please him to calm him down, but she really He
underestimated Gu Yunzheng, so much so that he almost
suffocated in his arms.
Su Wei'an, who finally got a chance to survive, pinched him hard on
the waist with some grievance and accused him: "You bully others!"
Gu Yunzheng held her in his arms, put his lips against her forehead
and said, "Next time, don't you dare say you like someone else?"
Su Wei'an rolled his eyes and said, "Be careful!"
At a rare moment like this, Gu Yunzheng was able to say in a
serious and serious tone: "I'm just petty, so you dare to like others
and try it!"
Gu Yunzheng's tone was not gentle or touching, and was even a bit
fierce and serious. But when Su Wei'an heard him say such words
for the first time, her whole body softened, and her heart felt warm
and itchy. , she raised her head and pecked his lips twice, and said,
"I only like you now."
Gu Yunzheng looked at her again and asked, "Just now?"
Su Weian leaned on his chest and said, "Everyone likes you now,
isn't it enough?"
After she promised it lightly, she was afraid that the promise would
be too light in his heart.
Gu Yunzheng knew that the future was always a problem for her, so
he didn't force it. He hugged her back and considered her lucky.
After a moment of silence, he said: "I will track the results of the
interview. No matter whether it is successful or not, I can't let it go."
This matter became the dean’s ‘word of advice’.”
Su Wei'an smiled seemingly relaxedly and said: "No matter the
result of the interview is successful or not, since I have decided to
start research again, I will not give up."
Gu Yunzheng reached out and rubbed her head, and said happily:
"That's good."
