Back To The Age Of The '80s

When Li Zheng left the hospital, Xu Mingsheng's temperature had dropped and his vital signs gradually stabilized. Chen Sufen and Xu Keqiang held his hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Li Zheng smiled and said that this is what he should do.Chen Sufen looked at him who was clearly out of his mind, with a helpless smile on her face, of course she knew what Li Zheng was thinking.This child looks mature and steady, but inside he still maintains a precious heart of innocence.

"Xiaozheng, the weight of life is too heavy, don't put it on your shoulders. Just go back and extract the antibiotics, and leave the rest to me. I am a doctor, and I understand my responsibilities." Chen Sufen solemnly He said honestly.

Li Zheng was startled, then smiled wryly, "Master, you are being serious."

Li Zheng is engaged in the research and development of medicines. Whether to use medicines or not, how to use medicines is a doctor's business. He has done everything he can.Li Zheng left all the eighteen medicines he brought with him at Queen Mary Hospital, and then he and a group of professors left, and they had to go back to prepare enough antibiotics.

"Hey, why did the nurse tell you to go out?" This is a young man in his early thirties, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with a disposable mask on his face. He came to take care of his father. The old man just moved a few days ago Gastrointestinal surgery, I was infected with drug-resistant bacteria before I recovered, and I have been having a high fever since yesterday.

Infection with drug-resistant strains in the 80s is still very rare, especially this kind of large-scale infection, which is probably the first time in Xiangjiang, so after the news of the closure of Queen Mary Hospital came out, all major newspapers in Xiangjiang used huge pages to describe Reporting this incident, the report introduced in detail the common sense of drug-resistant strains and the horror of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, so that the people of Xiangjiang suddenly understood that frequent antibiotics are also a dangerous thing.

Knowing that his father was infected with drug-resistant bacteria, the young man had already prepared for the worst in grief, so he hurriedly left his job and stayed in front of the old man's bed 24 hours a day.

The middle-aged woman and her daughter who were being questioned looked at each other, then turned their heads and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just asked some things to pay attention to. Isn't our old Yu not long after the operation."

The young man looked at them suspiciously, but didn't think much about it.Everyone is the patient's family members who feel sorry for each other. There is nothing to hide, probably because he thinks too much.

It's just that as time went by, he found that from time to time, the family members of patients were called out by nurses. Although the nurses went to the bedside to call out people in a subtle way, Zheng Cheng had done administrative work for so many years, so he couldn't see it.

His doubts come to a head after a violent argument erupts between a couple.

"The nurses have already said that Dad's illness is very difficult to cure without this medicine. Do you want to watch Dad die? He is not your own father, so you should not worry."

"Be reasonable, the nurse also said that this medicine is toxic and risky, and the risk is still very high!"

"Three, and three were released from here in the morning. You read today's newspaper, and the newspaper said that this bacterial infection is very serious. I asked my classmates who are studying medicine. Under the current medical level , There is no rule of law at all, since there is a glimmer of hope, why don't we give it a try!" The wife seemed very excited.

"Fang..."

"You don't need to say it, this is my father, I will sign it later!"

The young man, Zheng Cheng couldn't help but frown, what were they talking about?What medicine?Why he didn't know, seeing his father's condition getting worse, he couldn't sit still.

When Zheng Cheng walked out of the isolation ward, he happened to see a young nurse explaining something to a middle-aged woman with a stack of papers.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign, I'll sign." Fortunately, the media's popular science-style reports on drug-resistant strains and Pseudomonas aeruginosa made the work of the hospital a lot easier, and the families of patients in despair Hearing that their loved ones may have hope of being saved, let alone three or four floors, they are willing to try even if the probability is small.

Chen Xuhua took the lead, Chen Sufen was in charge, and the front-line experts of Queen Mary Hospital quickly screened out patients who could receive drug injections.Their screening conditions are very conservative, and patients who are young, resistant, and without other serious diseases are selected to try first.

In order to avoid the risks of the hospital to the greatest extent, they asked nurses to explain the risks of drug injection in detail one-on-one, and signed an exemption agreement on a voluntary basis.Although the agreement itself lacks legal force because the carbapenem antibiotics failed the biological test, it is better than nothing.

"Nurse? Excuse me..." Zheng Cheng frowned and said.

Seeing him approaching, the nurse and the middle-aged woman immediately fell silent, and the nurse turned the top page of the paper as if inadvertently.

"Mr. Zheng, may I help you?"

Zheng Cheng glanced at the paper in the nurse's hand, smiled and said, "I see that you have talked to many family members, so come out to see if I have to pay attention to something."

"Ms. Chen, go in first." The nurse said to the middle-aged woman, and then turned her head to tell Zheng Cheng about Mr. Zheng's condition and related matters to pay attention to, so that no one could see anything unusual.

Not long after, the first batch of patients who were screened out were formally injected with carbapenem antibiotics.

All the front-line experts of Queen Mary Hospital, including the president of Queen Mary Hospital Mr. Adolf, the vice presidents Chen Xuhua, Chen Sufen and the directors of other departments, all looked solemn. Looking at the ticking clock on the wall, the atmosphere in the office was almost frozen.

There was a knock on the door of "Bengpeng" office, and Mr. Adolf said loudly, "Come in."

Wang Jing walked in from the door. She came in with a thick stack of documents, "All the antibiotics left by Mr. Li Zheng have been injected. Here is the exemption agreement signed by the family members and the patient's medication records."

Dean Adolf rubbed his temples, "Oh, God, I really don't know if I made the right decision, may the Lord bless these poor patients to regain their health, and bless your pious believers Keep his job."

Chen Sufen flipped through the medication records, nodded to Wang Jing, and then she stood up and clapped her hands, "Everyone take your place, according to Lao Xu's experience in injecting antibiotics, the next few hours will be the most difficult battle. when."

Everyone nodded one after another, and then quickly left with their patient information.

In the next few hours, the atmosphere in the isolation ward suddenly became tense, and the nurses and doctors looked at the patients who were injected with the medicine almost one-on-one.

After the injection of carbapenem antibiotics, most of the patients had severe side effects. Fortunately, with the example of Xu Mingsheng, the doctors and nurses were calm and composed.

The family members of the patients who had been injected with antibiotics were nervous, and the family members who had not been injected slowly came to their senses.Especially in the afternoon, when the body temperature of the dozen or so patients who were the first to be injected with antibiotics dropped, the rest of the family members of the patients quit.

"Did they use some kind of medicine? We have to use it too! Aren't we out of money? Why give them it first!"

"Yes, yes, we also need to take medicine!"

Emotional family members of patients gathered and blocked the door of the doctor's office.

"Wang Jing, has the blood test report come out? First send the patients whose condition is under control to the observation ward." Chen Xuhua said.

Then he got up and walked to the door of the office.

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

"Hello, I'm Chen Xuhua, the vice president of Queen Mary Hospital. I want to clarify one point here. Our hospital does not favor one over another, and the doctor has not accepted red envelopes from other patients' families. You must have read the news in the past few days. , this drug-resistant strain infection is a very serious matter. Even the United States, which has the most advanced medical level, cannot cure patients infected with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. You are lucky, a biopharmaceutical scholar from Xiangjiang happened to While doing related research, he has developed a brand-new antibiotic that is effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. But you may not know that the birth of a new drug requires countless experiments and improvements, and this process often lasts for several years. Years or even ten years, but life waits for no one!"

Chen Xuhua paused, glanced at the patient's family members who had calmed down, and continued: "When our Mary Hospital learned that this scholar had extracted a new antibiotic extract, we contacted him immediately. However, the new drug, Without improvement after repeated experiments, there will be huge risks in random injections. Therefore, the first batch of subjects we selected were young patients with strong resistance and no other major diseases. This is the responsibility of the hospital and the patients responsible."

A group of family members of the patients chattered.

"Risk, what risk? It's better than waiting to die!"

"You don't know, the agreement says that the drug is poisonous, and the survival rate of the laboratory is less than three floors!"

"So low?"

"Who said it wasn't? It turns out that the nurse also came to see me, and I didn't dare to sign it!"

Seeing that the scene was under control, Chen Xuhua let out a dry cough and said loudly: "Don't worry, everyone, as long as the patient's resistance passes the test, the hospital will arrange the injection. Go back, everyone, the patients are still waiting for your care."

Although the patient's family members were still apprehensive, they left in twos and threes after seeing the doctor who hadn't rested for several days.

Chen Xuhua's face turned serious, and he looked at Chen Sufen, "Mr. Li Zheng, are antibiotics available?"

Chen Sufen smiled wryly, "I'll call and ask if he is a laboratory or a factory."

***

In Li Zheng's lab, everyone was already busy. They almost wanted to use both hands and feet, but extracting antibiotics is not so easy.

All the professors from the School of Medicine of Xiangjiang University were present, and even Su Changzhi came down to help.That's right, Su Changzhi was also born in a medical school, but he hasn't been in the laboratory for many years because of his poor health.

And the assistants in these professors' labs. Fortunately, there are still three vacant labs in Li Zheng's lab. That's it.

The entire Xiangjiang University School of Medicine is like a huge machine, running quickly.The Academic Affairs Office also posted a notice that the relevant courses of the medical school have been suspended in the past few days.
