Chapter 337 This is simply a life-saving miracle drug!
Two years ago.

Wang Mengde used arsenic as medicine and then treated patients with leukemia.

Unexpectedly, the effect was so good.

There are at least 200 blood disease patients in the country who have been cured by him, if not 300.

He also selflessly passed on his prescriptions and treatment experience to other doctors in the country without reservation.

This behavior made him praised by the country and his superiors.

However, because it involves the use of highly toxic drugs such as arsenic, it is necessary to determine the dosage after dialectical analysis, which leads to most Chinese medicine doctors not daring to prescribe medicine to patients easily.

Currently, there are only a few thousand people in the country who can easily use the correct dosage.

If you calculate it, there are about thirty good doctors who can cure this disease in a province or city on average, which is almost enough.

He had not published any papers on this treatment method because it was impossible to make it into Chinese medicine for sale using standard dosages.

After two years of research, he finally developed a prescription a few days ago.

In this prescription, the dosage of arsenic is strictly controlled, and combined with other Chinese medicinal materials, it will not cause much damage to the body even if it is accidentally ingested.

At the same time, it is also effective against leukemia.

Of course, clinical trials have shown that this effect has only a small effect.

In the case of long-term use, there is no hope of cure, and at best it can only delay the progression of the disease.

Wang Mengde is very satisfied with this effect of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Anyway, with his prescription, domestic leukemia patients can go to large hospitals in their respective provinces, cities and regions for treatment. Basically, they can be cured after a few courses of treatment, or one or two months.

As for the problem that foreign patients cannot be cured and will need to take the drugs he developed for a long time in the future, that is not within his consideration.

If you want a complete cure, then spend money to come to China to see him for treatment. As long as you spend more than 50,000 US dollars in consultation fees, he guarantees that the medicine will cure the disease.

If you don't have that much money, you have to be prepared to take long-term medication. Although it costs a lot every month, it is a glimmer of hope.

This kind of long-term profit can bring China about $50,000 in profit as long as the patient survives for more than ten years.

Wang Mengde is very confident in the special medicine he developed. As long as the patient is not terminally ill, it is easy to survive for more than ten years if he insists on taking his medicine every day.

In fact, this is the best outcome. The patient's survival time is increased from a few months or one or two years to more than ten years, and he or she will not feel much pain during this period.

The patients’ families will not suffer the pain of losing their loved ones.

China also benefited greatly, receiving a steady stream of foreign exchange income, and Wang Mengde gained great honor, which was simply killing four birds with one stone.

"Brother, is it not good to ask us to add our names to the paper?"

Li Xiang said with some hesitation.

From the beginning to the end, their involvement in the development of specific drugs for leukemia was very small, and they basically just played a supporting role.

The most I can do is to observe the patient's reaction after taking the medicine and record the subsequent development of the disease.

Now that their senior fellow wanted to publish a paper in a top foreign journal, he actually wanted to include their names in the paper, which made them feel a little embarrassed to accept such kindness.

“It’s okay. The paper can have several authors, and you are the second author. It won’t affect me.

But the impact on you will be huge, and it will be of great help in the future whether you are evaluating professional titles or getting promoted.

Besides, you did participate in the development of this drug, so it is not considered cheating."

Wang Mengde persuaded with a smile.

He watched these fellow disciples grow up under his watch, and he also taught them all their medical skills.

Because their talents are not as strong as his, everyone has some areas they are good at, but of course, they are not bad in other aspects either.

Among these people, each one's medical skills are no worse than those of his peers, and some are even among the top ones.

With a few more years of experience, he could become a responsible person in any major hospital and easily be promoted to deputy director.

To be honest, it is because the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the highest TCM research institution in the country, and with the presence of Pu Lao and Wang Mengde, that they are willing to stay low here.

In the past two years, several large hospitals in Beijing have come to poach talents. Even the directors of some hospitals have come to Wang Mengde, hoping that he would persuade his junior colleagues to change jobs for better development.

"Brother, then we will accept it shamelessly. Thank you for considering us."

Seeing that he insisted, the others happily agreed.

Then, an irrepressible excitement welled up in my heart.

This is a paper published in the world's top journal.

If it were them, it would take at least a few more years and a lot of hard work before they would have the opportunity to publish an article here.

And even if it is published, I would be satisfied if it could occupy a small space in the journal.

Now, my senior’s paper is something that every journal must pay attention to, and it is always ranked in the best position.

At the same time, the world's top scholars or experts will comment on the papers.

This was a good thing that other people in the country had dreamed of, but they didn’t expect that the senior brother would give it to them so easily.

"Don't be polite, senior brother. I have just started writing my thesis. If you have time recently, please join me.

By the way, you guys have worked very hard in the past few years, and your medical skills have improved rapidly. By the end of this year, there will be several vacancies for promotion.

Maybe not everyone can make progress at the moment, so let’s wait in line, and let some people take care of it first. The rest of you should not be disappointed, because it will be your turn next year.”

Wang Mengde said another thing.

There are limited places for promotion in the department every year. In addition to his junior fellow students, there are dozens of other comrades in the Department of Internal Medicine.

If he gave all the places to his own people, even if he was following the rules and regulations, it would cause objections from others.

Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he planned to discuss it with these people in advance to avoid any misunderstandings.

"Brother, don't worry. We will definitely not have any objections. Let the other brothers and sisters be promoted this year. I will come back next year."

As Li Xiang was the oldest among the seven people, he immediately began to be humble.

Wang Mengde noticed that his expression did not seem fake, but rather reflected his true thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

"That won't work, Senior Brother Li. You are older than us. You should take the opportunity this year first. We young people will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Beside her, Sun Xiaoru said with a smile.

Because she and Zhang Qiaoyu are women, they often have to take care of the family, and having children also takes up a lot of energy and time, which gradually distances them from the other people. However, the two of them are also very hardworking on weekdays, and their medical skills are also outstanding in other hospitals.

"Okay, stop arguing, just line them up by age. Everyone has a chance anyway."

Seeing them being so humble and courteous, Wang Mengde made the decision immediately.

Seeing that the senior brother had spoken, the other seven junior brothers and sisters stopped discussing it and tacitly agreed to this arrangement.

Early September.

There are hundreds of young faces in the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

These are all graduate students enrolled by famous Chinese medicine experts.

If Wang Mengde had not already accepted several disciples, he would have been surrounded by many more students.

Of course, even if he accepted students, he didn't have time to teach them for the time being.

Because, in the next period of time.

In addition to seeing patients, managing department work, and regularly visiting the intensive care unit, he also takes time to write papers with several of his fellow junior colleagues.

He already had a draft in his mind, so he wrote it very quickly.

In this paper, he focused on the use of arsenic, a highly toxic substance, to treat leukemia, a terminal illness.

The cases used in it are all examples of patients he has treated over the years, a total of more than 400.

In addition to the 400 or so cases in China, dozens of cases abroad were also written down.

It took him more than half a month to finally finish the two papers. After careful checking and finding no grammatical and formatting errors, he handed them over to the national department that was specifically responsible for publishing his articles abroad.

After submitting the paper, Wang Mengde found his superiors again and took out the newly developed prescription.

“Leader, the medicine produced from this prescription is very effective against terminal illnesses such as leukemia.

Although it is impossible to completely eradicate the disease, taking it on time can delay the progression of the disease. As long as the disease is not particularly serious, it can have a good effect.

It is easy to live for more than ten years, and while taking the medicine, you will not suffer much from the disease."

Wang Mengde gave a brief introduction.

"That's not right, Comrade Wang Mengde, I remember two years ago, didn't you develop a prescription for treating leukemia?

Moreover, that prescription could completely cure this terminal illness, and it caused a great sensation and response in the country that year, although people abroad did not quite believe it and thought it was false propaganda.

Only a small number of rich and powerful people came to Wang Mengde for treatment with a try-it attitude.

How come a new prescription has suddenly been developed, and the effect is so much reduced that it can't completely cure the disease."

The superior leader said with a puzzled look on his face.

At that time, he personally went to the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine to present the commendation, so the impression was particularly deep.

"Leader, the prescription developed two years ago can only be used by experienced doctors for dialectical treatment. It has very high requirements for doctors' medical skills and cannot be promoted and used on a large scale.

So I continued my research and finally developed this recipe recently.

Although leukemia cannot be cured, it will relieve the great pain of foreign patients."

Wang Mengde explained.

"So that's the situation. Then we should arrange for the pharmaceutical factory to start large-scale production of this drug right away."

The superior leader said happily.

He felt that the foreign exchange this drug would not bring to the country would be much, after all, the number of leukemia patients was not large.

The medicinal materials required in the prescription are not precious Chinese medicinal materials, and the price is not estimated to be very high. Unlike artificially synthesized bovine insulin, the cost is there, and the price will not be low no matter what.

However, even if we can't earn much foreign exchange, at least we can improve the reputation of China and traditional Chinese medicine, which is a good thing.

Wang Mengde thought about it and felt that it was necessary to talk to the leader about the price, so he said:
"Leader, I suggest that the price should not be set too low.

Like those foreign merchants, the costs of many of their products, especially industrial products, are very low, but the prices they sell to us are extremely high.

We should also learn this method and experience, so that we can also earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country."

"Comrade Wang Mengde, if you set the price too high according to your idea, many patients will not be able to afford this medicine."

The superior frowned and said, “However, your idea does make some sense. I will hold a meeting with other leaders to discuss it.

When it comes to dealing with foreigners, our country needs to change many of its ideas and keep pace with the international community.”

a few days later.

The world's two top and most authoritative academic journals - Nature and Science - simultaneously received the two papers submitted by Wang Mengde.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. After receiving the manuscript, the editor-in-chief did not dare to neglect it and invited several of the world's most famous experts in leukemia treatment to review it overnight.

Of course, deep down, they were already certain that the contents of these two papers were definitely true.

After all, there have never been any problems with Wang Mengde's articles.

Moreover, as a winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and someone who has great hope of winning the award multiple times in the future, he would not commit fraud or behave carelessly.

really.

After review by several experts, they finally agreed that Wang Mengde's idea of ​​fighting poison with poison in his paper made sense.

There are also examples and data in the paper, which are very scientific and real at first glance.

With the endorsement of these experts, the editors-in-chief of the two journals felt more confident in publishing Wang Mengde's two papers.

Not only that, those experts who are very authoritative in leukemia treatment are also scrambling to write comments on these two papers.

It didn't take long.

The paper was published in the latest issue of the journal.

It instantly caused a sensation in the medical community, as leukemia is one of the world's most recognized incurable diseases.

As long as the patient suffers from this disease, it is basically declared that there is no cure, and the next step is to wait for the arrival of death.

Now suddenly some people say that although it is impossible to completely cure the disease, the progression of the disease can be greatly delayed. If most patients are discovered in time and are in the early or middle stages of the disease, they can survive for at least ten years.

This is simply a life-saving miracle drug!
Immediately afterwards, countless patients and their families frantically searched the market for the drugs described in the paper.
