From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 149 Fauci's Invitation (2 in 1)

At [-]:[-] the next morning, the genetic analysis report of the trypanosome pathogen came out.

Sure enough, the trypanosomes extracted from the patient's bone marrow were American Trypanosoma cruzi.

Since the ICID meeting has ended, most of the foreign medical experts have left today.

However, Dr. Fauci changed his itinerary and still stayed in Yangcheng.

Seeing the final test report, Fauci couldn't help feeling: "Dr. Zhang, thanks to you, I was able to gain such precious time this time!"

Since genetic testing takes time for PCR amplification, the testing speed in Yangcheng is already very fast.

But even so, one night passed.

If Zhang Zifan hadn't turned the tide last night and proposed an urgent comparison of the genome of the third rare trypanosome, it might take more than a dozen hours to finalize the conclusion.

Now there is no detour in genetic testing. After confirming the specific type of pathogen, the next step is treatment.

If the treatment is not timely, the patient still faces death.

But where is the cure?

Not only are there no therapeutic drugs in Yangcheng, but they are also not available elsewhere in the country. Even if you go to the so-called "Holy Land of Generic Drugs", they are still not available in India.

There is only one place in the world where this drug is available, and that is at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Drugs to treat Trypanosomiasis cruzi are not common and are in very small stock. They are strategic reserves and cannot be given upon request.

As we all know, if China does not participate in large-scale industrial production, it is difficult for it to become a bulk industrial product.

Although domestic high drug prices have been widely criticized, the research and development capabilities of domestic pharmaceutical companies are also worrying.

But in fact, China produces the basic synthetic products of most of the world's drugs and controls the upstream supply chain of drug manufacturing.

Apparently, drugs to treat Trypanosoma cruzi are not part of this supply chain.

China does not have such drugs for the treatment of extremely rare diseases, nor does the United States. Only the World Health Organization entrusts two pharmaceutical companies to produce them free of charge and store them in a small amount in the base warehouse.

The approval process for applying for drugs is quite strict.

Not long ago, there were similar cases in other places.

In the final seminar, because of the incompleteness of the test evidence and data, the WHO rejected the judgment of the hospital and did not distribute the relevant drugs.

The lady who traveled to Thailand and contracted an unknown cause after contacting bird droppings did not have a confirmed source of infection until her death.

This kind of thing sounds cruel, but as an international organization that coordinates global disease prevention and control, the WHO must have strict control, otherwise it will be overwhelmed by a large number of international applications.

After all, cases of infection with unknown causes in various countries will apply to the WHO for "specific drugs" when they have no other choice.

This will undoubtedly cause a huge waste of resources and overwhelm WHO's strategic reserves.

In addition, in recent times, a certain superpower has continuously defaulted on its dues, which has objectively weakened the WHO's execution capabilities.

Fortunately, this time, the evidence chain for disease diagnosis was very complete, data submission was very timely, and the drug was quickly approved.

36 hours later, it was transported to Yangcheng by a special channel.

During this period, domestic medical workers have not been idle.

On the one hand, they gave patients supportive treatment to delay the deterioration of the disease, and on the other hand, they immediately reported the outbreak to the Parasitic Disease Prevention and Control Institute of the China Center for Disease Control and Infection Control.

In the report, Fei Tong, Hu Mingjie and others, in addition to claiming credit for the hospital, also objectively recorded the contribution of a private medical institution named "Haoran Medical".

He also pointed out that, according to the entomological expert identification of Haoran Medical, the patient was bitten by the large triatomine bug and caused the disease.

The triatomine gnat is not a native species in my country, and there has never been a relevant record before.

Now that such a case has appeared, there is reason to believe that in some areas, there may have been an invasion of this kind of creature, and it must be detected and culled immediately.

That's why epidemiologists are called lighthouse keepers, or whistleblowers.

It is the responsibility of scholars to discover the clues of the epidemic and report it immediately to prevent the situation from expanding.

Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) arrived virtually with the WHO drug.

Unfortunately, to Zhang Zifan's disappointment, they didn't mean to award him a certificate, not even verbal praise.

This is not because Zhang Zifan is greedy for vanity, but because he has accumulated more than 60 [Medals of Honor] in the past six months.

How can a national honor be added to more than a dozen [Medal of Honor], so that the puzzle is expected to be completed as soon as possible.

【Ding!Within the detection range of the medical tank, an orphan drug: benzoethylazole was found. 】

【Ding!The drug has been copied, the molecular formula has been cracked, and the vehicle inventory: 300 units]

At this time, Zhang Zifan heard the system prompt unexpectedly.

It turns out that my Hummer still has such a function?

Orphan drugs can be copied and stored!
That's a wonderful thing.

It seems that if I have the opportunity in the future, I should drive around the pharmacies of major hospitals or even the warehouse of the WHO.

Collect more orphan drugs and special drugs to be prepared.

As for the so-called orphan drug, of course it is not for Yasuo players.

"Orphan drugs" are also called rare drugs, which are drugs used to prevent, treat, and diagnose rare diseases. Due to the small number of people suffering from rare diseases, low market demand, and high research and development costs, few pharmaceutical companies pay attention to the research and development of their therapeutic drugs. Therefore, these drugs are aptly called "orphan drugs".

The name of such a sand sculpture is indeed a formal international common name.

……

With the use of specific drugs, the patient's condition began to improve.

However, Zhang Zifan did not wait for his reward reminder.

It seems that the system probably will only issue rewards after the patient is cured, or the condition is under control.

With nothing else to do, Zhang Zifan resumed his idea of ​​plucking old knives.

Zhang Zifan spoke uprightly, saying that we can't delay this debt any longer, otherwise we can only use Xi'er to pay off the debt.

Before Zhu Jiannan gave him a sip, Fauci came out of nowhere.

"Dr. Zhang, I heard you haven't got your doctorate yet?"

This is the news Fauci got from Chinese doctors and officials, and he rushed over in a hurry.

But this sentence, when Fauci said it, how did he change it.

Because in the United States, a doctor is a doctor, but a doctor may not be a real doctor.

American doctors all have MD degrees, so he doesn't quite know what the hell Zhang Zifan's MMBS is.

For old academics like Fauci, when they see talented young people, they can't help but be eager to love their talents.

He asked: "Are you interested in coming to Harvard to complete your advanced studies? Although I haven't recruited a PhD for a long time, I still reserve this right."

Hearing this, both Zhu Jiannan and Yang Tingting were stunned.

Is Lao Zhang (Senior Brother Zhang) so popular?
Brother Fauci, can you consider me!
Most people may not understand the status of Fauci in the world.

But they have been in contact with Fauci for a few days, so they naturally checked the relevant information.

Let's put it this way, Fauci is Midi's Zhong Lao, and even has a higher status.

Many people are familiar with Professor Zhang Wenhong, director of the Infectious Disease Center of Shanghai Huashan Hospital, and his doctoral supervisor is an ordinary student taught by Mr. Fauci in his early years!

Therefore, the status of Fauci has nothing to do with nationality or nationality. He is the leader of the common knowledge system tree of all mankind!
To be his student is something that countless people can only dream of.

However, Zhang Zifan spread his hands with a wry smile and said, "Dr. Fauci, does Harvard University support correspondence courses?"

"What?" Fauci was stunned, not quite understanding Zhang Zifan's meaning, "If you are worried about the cost, it's okay, I can apply for a scholarship for you and provide some laboratory subsidies."

"No, Doctor, I'm not short of money."

Zhang Zifan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy recently, and I really don't have time. How about I treat you to a meal?"

Of course, Zhang Zifan didn't have time to go to Harvard to study for a doctorate, unless the other party accepted evening correspondence courses or something.

Of course, this is not possible.

It is still possible to study as a Harvard Blue Bird, but Harvard is out of the question.

But no matter what, since business cannot be done without mercy, Zhang Zifan still politely invited Mr. Fauci to have dinner.

As for the one who pays, it is naturally the old knife.

Not to mention, as soon as he heard that he could treat Mr. Fauci to dinner, Lao Dao immediately became generous.

Not only did I specially book the best restaurant in Yangcheng, but I also specially replaced my SLR camera with the best lens for taking group photos.

However, the specific situation during the meal was far from what Lao Dao imagined.

At one end of the dining table, Zhang Zifan, accompanied by his female companion with light make-up, chatted happily with Mr. Fauci.

Zhang Zifan introduced himself as a UCLA visiting scholar and an international flight surgery expert in a low-key manner, which surprised Fauci.

It is really difficult for UCLA visiting scholars to come to Harvard to study for a Ph.D. Fauci felt a little abrupt.

But who would have thought that a young Chinese doctor with a keen intuition for infectious diseases would be one of the best head and neck surgeons in the world?

I have never encountered this in the past few decades!

At the other end of the dining table, Zhu Jiannan could only sit with Li Jingwang staring at each other.

Zhu Jiannan's heart is bleeding.

Where did this big guy come from!
Is the starving ghost reincarnated?

You can eat a whole steak in one bite!

Li Jingwang, who was done by Zhang Zifan and completely took fighting as a hobby, also let himself go.

Anyway, there is no plan to relegate the game, and weight control is not so important.

In many cases, the right amount of fat is also very important for combat athletes.

The fat man's resistance to being beaten is not fake.

And even professional athletes don't have such taboos during the offseason.

Not to mention Jeremy Lin's crazy eating of donuts. The Polish football king ate egg-filled pancakes once when he was a teenager, and he has been hacked until now.

In fact, Lao Zhan also often eats Mexican pancakes, which are not necessarily more nutritious than Tianjin pancakes.

The reason why one was hacked and the other was ignored was due to strength.

Li Jingwang has strength and is not afraid of being hacked, so under Zhang Zifan's instigation, he let go of his stomach and ate wildly.

Just when Lao Dao endured the pain and ordered a few more hard dishes, Zhang Zifan suddenly shook his body, and stared at Boss Fauci with burning eyes.

"Dr. Fauci, do you have time to visit City S as a guest..."

It turned out that at that moment just now, Zhang Zifan finally received the reward from the system.

And based on this reward, Mr. Fauci seems to be of great use as a tool man!
【Ding!Congratulations on completing the large-scale puzzle-solving mission: Mysterious Bite Mark, the Horror Death from Amazon]

【Ding!Congratulations on gaining infectious disease experience +200, hospital construction points +1000, building rewards: intermediate laboratory, junior journal editorial department]

[Intermediate laboratory:

An independent five-story building contains animal experimental areas, cell experimental areas, and microbial experimental areas, which are independent of each other to prevent cross-infection.

Each division has sample processing room, separation culture room, routine testing room, molecular biology testing room, pathology testing room and other rooms]

[Junior journal editorial department: You can appoint a professional editor or do it yourself to create a hospital journal with a legal edition number.When the dean personally edits, [Fool Mode] can be activated.

In addition, the relevant content of the journal will be serialized to the official website of the hospital synchronously, and connected to various academic search engines, and users around the world can read it for a fee]

At the same time, there were a few more WeChat messages on Zhang Zifan's phone.

[Project Manager Jing Jing: Dean Zhang, the construction of the laboratory building you reserved has started! 】

[Senior Project Manager Egg Roll: Dean Zhang, where is the editorial department you need?Because of the printing machine, I suggest that it is better not to put it in the inpatient building, but to put it in the northeast corner of the third floor of Building 4. What do you think? 】
