Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 432 Cherish the People Around You - Engaged?

"What's wrong with art students, art students are human too."

Hearing Xu Manni's words, Xu Hongdou said with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Manni is a medical student, which can be said to be half liberal arts and half engineering, while Xu Hongdou is a proper art student. Xu Manni often mentioned this matter in front of Xu Hongdou.

It's like what happens to art students.

"I didn't say how the art students are. Why are you still in a hurry?"

Seeing Xu Hongdou like this, Xu Manni smiled and said.

"Miss husband, you haven't eaten for two days since you went to Africa, okay, why don't you go out and have some supper now?"

Xu Hongdou ignored Xu Manni, but said to Zhao Heng.

Compared to her lying flat at home, Xu Hongdou was a little moved when Zhao Heng risked his life to go to Africa for medical support.

How do you say that sentence, there is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

"I think you want to eat it yourself."

Xu Manni said with a smile.

"It's okay, anyway, this will make me sleepless."

Zhao Heng said that after returning from Africa, Zhao Heng was really restless. It stands to reason that he should be lucky to come back after two days of going there without incident.

However, the skills related to genetic modification picked up from Dr. William kept Zhao Heng's heart hanging.

Before he saw the human experiment on syphilis in the United States, he thought it was fabricated, but now he kind of believes it is true.

For the first time, Chinese people came to know the word syphilis on a large scale. I believe it was in the advertisements on the roadside telephone poles. Back then, the "old ancestral doctors" who wandered around the rivers and lakes harvested leeks with inferior ink and paper, and put those A man with unspeakable secrets was deceived into bankruptcy.

Here, it is the small advertisement on the telephone pole above.

Before the invention of penicillin, syphilis was an incurable disease, Beethoven, Lincoln, Van Gogh, Columbus, Nietzsche, Maupassant. .Many well-known celebrities are syphilis patients.

Human beings struggled with syphilis for five centuries before they finally found a way to subdue syphilis.

However, it is absolutely unimaginable that in the United States, which has the most abundant medical resources in the world, a medical experiment that lasted for 40 years was actually carried out, and nearly 400 black people infected with syphilis were deceived. These black people did not receive any treatment and lived a normal life Work, and even get married and have children, let them suffer from the virus and continue to infect their wives.

The story begins in the 20s, when Norwegian doctors summarized the course of the disease in hundreds of white men suffering from syphilis, filling a gap in medical research on syphilis. However, this research result was considered to be a For a retrospective study, there should be a prospective study for a disease.

Both retrospective research and prospective research are medical terms. In layman's terms, the so-called retrospective research is to summarize the diseases that have occurred and extract the common essence from them.

The prospective study is that medical workers design the prerequisites, observe the trend of the disease, and judge whether it develops in the expected direction.

The Norwegians conducted a retrospective study of syphilis, while the Americans hoped to complete the prospective study, so in 1932, the US Public Health Bureau appointed Dr. Toliver and Clark to be in charge of the study.

Dr. Clark's original research plan was to follow up and observe some blacks who were suffering from syphilis and had not received treatment, and after 6 to 9 months of observation and experimentation, they would be effectively treated.

Clark cooperated with Tuskegee University, a predominantly black university in Alabama, to recruit 600 black men to participate in the experiment, of which 399 were suffering from syphilis and the other 201 blacks were not infected, as a result. control group.

It stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with the setting of this medical experiment, but Clark soon discovered that his idea had gone completely wrong from the very beginning. Let it fend for itself, and use various testing methods to understand the entire pathogenesis of syphilis, that is to say, conduct inhumane live virus experiments on these black people.

One year into the trial, Dr. Clark resigned after learning that the trial would go on for a long time, and was replaced by Dr. Raymond Vondeler.

Dr. Vondeler lied to the blacks who participated in the trial, advertising that they all had "scurvy" instead of syphilis, so that these blacks thought that the trial they participated in was a special free treatment.

However, the so-called treatment did not exist. Neither patients nor members of the control group received any effective drug treatment. Von Dele and his team gave these people a placebo that did not work.

The whole experiment is not just a peaceful way of observation. In addition to regular blood tests, the participants in the experiment also have to undergo lumbar puncture to collect bone marrow. The whole experiment process is very painful.

In order to persuade these blacks to participate in the experiment, Tuskegee gave them small favors, such as reimbursement of travel expenses for each trip, lunch on the inspection day, etc. Although these benefits were very insignificant, but in the 30s of the Great Depression, For poor blacks, it is still extremely attractive.

Of course, the price these blacks paid was huge. Not only did they sacrifice their right to health, they even handed over their own deaths to Tuskegee. To be given to Tuskegee University for medical research.

The reason why these black people accept this experiment is, in the final analysis, they are aiming at the word "treatment". They think that they are receiving treatment until they die, but what they don't know is that they have not received any treatment at all. Feng De Le and Tuskegee simply let them suffer from syphilis and never intervened.

To make matters worse, by 1936, penicillin had been proven to be effective in the treatment of syphilis, but Von Dele and Tuskegee University were still deceiving blacks who were sick, not giving them penicillin, and still using it for nothing. The so-called "free treatment" of therapeutic effects afflicts these patients.

There was another important reason why these blacks were willing to accept this experiment. At that time, there was a black female nurse named Eunice Rivers in the John Andrew Hospital affiliated to Tuskegee University.

Nurse Rivers can be called a "black female cadre". She is the bond between the black people who undergo the experiment and the experiment team. With her black skin and unique affinity, black patients have great trust in Rivers, Tuskegee University The benefits for these black people were also distributed through Nurse Rivers. Rivers participated in the entire experimental project from beginning to end, and personally sent those who had the same skin color as himself to a dead end one by one.

We all know that syphilis not only brings great suffering to patients, but is also an infectious disease.

However, Von Dele, Rivers and those who participated in this experiment at Tuskegee University never stopped the spread of syphilis. They never reminded the black participants that the disease they had was contagious. , but allowed them to marry and have children, and syphilis was then transmitted to their partners and children.

This experiment lasted for 1932 years from 1972 to 40.

In this experiment, black people were not treated as human beings at all, and live people were directly used for virus experiments.

Although the inside story of the experiment was exposed to the media in 1972, it was not until 25, 1997 years later, that the then President of the United States, Clinton, apologized for it.

This is the most typical hell is empty, and the devil is in the world!

After a while, Zhao Heng, Xu Manni, and Xu Hongdou came to a teppanyaki restaurant in the business district in front of No. [-] Courtyard in Beishi.

This store focuses on luxury buffet, 598 yuan per person.

After finding a private room to sit down, Xu Hongdou excitedly started to order.

"This salmon belly, sea urchin, bluefin tuna, sweet shrimp and peony shrimp, and this pan-fried cod, almond tofu, Arctic shellfish, matsutake seafood teapot soup, millet ginseng, crayfish, some caviar, pan-fried Hairtail with fish, Iberian ham."

"That's all, three servings first."

Xu Hongdou handed the menu to the waitress and said.

"Beauty, you are the best orderer I've ever seen in this restaurant. You have ordered all our signature dishes."

The young lady smiled and said, in fact, many people don’t know how to order food when eating this kind of high-end buffet, which gives a lot of space to the young lady who is in charge of ordering, that is, to recommend some dishes that look good to the guests. It is expensive to eat, but the cost is not high at all.

As for Xu Hongdou, who directly ordered from the bottom of the bag, the waitress was rarely seen except for professional gourmets.

"Okay, let's serve the food, we'll order after we finish eating."

Xu Hongdou waved his hand and said.

"Okay, beauty."

The waitress nodded, bowed and went out.

"Xu Hongdou, you really know how to eat that."

Xu Manni looked at Xu Hongdou, who was very skillful in ordering food, and couldn't help saying, she can order food so skillfully, one can imagine how many times she has eaten here.

"If you don't even know how to eat it, then it's too bad for yourself..."

Xu Hongdou said indifferently.

"Miss husband, what have you eaten these two days in Africa? Did you go out for a stroll or something?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked curiously again.

"I'm staying in the camp, how can I go out for a stroll, even if I can go out, who dares to go. If I eat it, it's a bread and milk sandwich. Anyway, it's fine if I don't starve to death."

Zhao Heng said.

"It's hard work."

Xu Hongdou said that she originally thought that the living security of the UN organization team should be pretty good.

"Miss husband, I have seen some rumors on the Internet in the past two days. It is said that the virus infection that broke out in Africa and New Guinea may be man-made, and it is related to the United States. Is the United States really so mad?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked curiously again.

"Do you know about the US syphilis test?"

Zhao Heng didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Syphilis test?"

Xu Hongdou was a little puzzled.

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded, and told the ins and outs of the American syphilis experiment.

After he finished speaking, even though it was midsummer, Xu Hongdou felt a chill all over his back.

"Miss husband, you have already said that it happened in the last century, and now it is a civilized society, shouldn't this kind of thing happen?"

Xu Hongdou said in a somewhat unimaginable way.

The story Zhao Heng told was scarier than any ghost story she had ever heard.

Because she knows that ghost stories are fictitious, but this story actually happened.

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with the era or the level of civilization."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.

As a developed country, don't all the neon countries also discharge nuclear wastewater into the offshore?
Where does this show civilization?
"The storm is coming."

As a medical staff, Xu Manni heard more things from the American syphilis experiment that Zhao Heng talked about.

She knew that Zhao Heng must have known something, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he talked about the syphilis test in the United States.

"Sister, don't scare me."

Xu Hongdou said with some fear.

"Don't think so much, we are not Africa."

Zhao Heng said slowly that he still has some confidence in the country. As for places like Africa, it's really hard to say.

After a while, Xu Hongdou's signature dish for three people came out. After the dishes were served, the three of them felt that their uneasiness was relieved a lot after eating the delicious food. Therefore, only love and food can't live up to that!

"Don't tell me, the dishes ordered by the red beans are really good."

After Xu Manni tasted a few dishes, she said to Zhao Heng.

"Of course, as I said, I'm good at eating."

Xu Hongdou said a little proudly, of course, I didn't know that I would eat this kind of food, so there is nothing to be proud of.

"Miss husband, you are back now, so you won't go there again?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked again.

"Shouldn't be going again, what's wrong?"

Zhao Heng nodded. For this kind of thing, it's enough to let him go once. If there is another case, he won't let him go, and he can't catch a sheep, right?
"Then why don't you and my sister get engaged first, and then find a time to get married."

Xu Hongdou said suddenly.

"Uh...why did you suddenly think of this?"

Zhao Heng didn't expect Xu Hongdou to say that.

"I just think, in this world now, who knows what will happen when, you should cherish the people around you."

Xu Hongdou said seriously.

Xu Manni didn't speak, but just looked at Zhao Heng, but it could be seen that her mood was not calm.

"Shall we meet first?"

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said to Xu Manni.

"Row."

Xu Manni nodded, smiled and said.
