Chapter 2402 The Exceptionally Hard Pathological Module

When Bian Mu first arrived in the city, he hardly considered making traditional Chinese medicine cancer treatment one of his career goals. There was no way he could support such a grand medical narrative from any aspect of his life!
Bian Mu has that much self-awareness.

however……

As her career progressed rapidly, Bian Mu's thoughts gradually began to change.

Later, the total number of cases accumulated by Bian Mu and his colleagues far exceeded his expectations. With the help of the "Digital Medicine" system, Bian Mu analyzed those cases countless times in a short period of time.

Sometimes, as Bian Mu idly sat there pondering, he gradually realized a fact: under certain conditions, he could complete about half of the medical exploration journey undertaken by the older generation, such as Nie Yixiong, in a very short time. At this rate, wouldn't he be able to get close to the cancer hurdle?!

With youthful vigor and growing strength, who doesn't have ambitions?!

More importantly, over two years of intensive frontline clinical experience made Bian Mu realize a fact: cancer is actually more like a hard "pathological module." No matter how careful Bian Mu is, he can never completely avoid it. He is a person with special medical ethics, and he is unwilling to lie to patients and their families about some purely technical details.

From the perspective of the "digital medicine" school of thought, cancer, this extremely robust "pathological module," can easily be linked to other types of diseases, completely independent of the patient's or the patient's will. It can manifest in various ways, such as earlier onset, increased severity, or subsequent disease progression. Every now and then, we have to literally brush against cancer, connect with it, and make connections...

Gradually, Bian Mu began to accept a medical fact: in the future, unless he changed careers midway, the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in cancer treatment would be absolutely unavoidable.

If that's the case, why not face the challenge head-on?!

It is indeed quite challenging.

Therefore, Bian Mu squeezed out a piece of his spare time and planned it as the golden period for cancer research. He initiated projects, drew up frameworks, established research directions, classified data, and created his own unique treatment concept system. Gradually, Bian Mu's research on the root causes of cancer, basic treatment principles, and the bridging of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has become quite impressive.

Even so, to this day, Bian Mu still insists on treating zero cancer patients.

Although Bian Mu is still young, he sees things quite clearly. In his view, discussing cancer treatment from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, setting aside other prerequisites, the total amount of money invested would be astronomical! Even if he were extremely lucky, with the support of AI technology, the help of friends, and the complete resolution of fundraising, it would still be an exceptionally arduous and epic medical mission! Therefore, Bian Mu must rely on his own real abilities to obtain the first large sum of money; otherwise, everything would become a mere illusion.

As a result, Bian Mu kept his research on cancer treatment a secret, rarely mentioning it in public or private. Bian Mu believed that this was actually a way to "protect" his future career in medicine.

However... for reasons unknown, some special individuals still came knocking on their door.

After the Spring Festival, various organizations or individuals would frequently visit the "New Concept" Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, earnestly inviting Bian Mu to participate in various medical conferences. The topics of the conferences were often quite broad. If time allowed, Bian Mu would go and sit for a while. If he found the content agreeable, he would stay a little longer. If he found it uninteresting, he would quietly leave.

This time, they directly and firmly limited the topic to new technologies, trends, and breakthroughs in "Traditional Chinese Medicine in Cancer Treatment"...

Bian Mu naturally had many questions and felt that something was not quite right. In his heart, out of caution, he would never go to the meeting.

but……

Judging from the tone of these two men, if they didn't get Bian Mu's explicit promise to attend the meeting, they really wouldn't be able to explain themselves when they got back.

"You two have gone to great lengths to come here today, so you must know me to some extent, right? In fact, since I started practicing medicine independently, whether I was running a small clinic or being promoted to a national medical center, all my cases are documented. We have never treated a single cancer patient, right? As for medical papers, I have published a few short articles, but they have never touched on cancer treatment. In fact, I have never published any superficial, semi-popular science articles. Given this medical background, I really can't think of any reason why I should have come to this meeting." Bian Mu further clarified and reiterated his attitude.

Upon hearing this, the woman couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Hehe... Well, don't laugh at me, Master. We're both in the medical field. Right after graduation, we worked on the front lines of clinical care at a top-tier hospital for several years. Later, thanks to Director Hai's appreciation, we were transferred to this research center. Although you're usually quite low-key, we're aware of your true medical capabilities. Please don't be too modest about that. It's our first meeting, and it's not good to say anything too explicit or vague, right? So, let me use a somewhat inappropriate analogy: the world's top 5 car brands belong to 5 different developed countries. Does that mean other developed countries can't produce world-class or even supercars or high-end sports cars? Master, isn't that the logic? Some countries have far surpassed us in every aspect of technology, but they're unwilling to participate in global competition in the automotive field due to other economic planning considerations. If that day ever comes, it'll be a piece of cake for them to produce a few top-tier cars!" Wow! That woman was quite eloquent, unexpectedly using such an analogy.

After hearing these words, Bian Mu and the man were both stunned.

“Hehe… What you said makes sense, but… the relevant conclusions are only based on assumptions and cannot be taken seriously! Since you two are also in the medical field, you must know that everything in our profession is based on front-line medical practice. Moreover, clinical treatment is not like other industries; it involves human life, right? The patient’s life and health are of paramount importance! Without clinical practice, you have no right to speak, so why would I go and cause trouble?” Bian Mu smiled and slightly retorted.

"Since that's the case... well... Director Hai said that the Master has already pioneered a completely new path in the preparation and formulation of traditional Chinese medicine. It would be good for the Master, as a renowned expert in the preparation and formulation of traditional Chinese medicine, to come and have a chat, right?" The man's mind worked quite quickly, and he seized the opportunity to extend another sincere invitation from a different angle.

Upon hearing this, Bian Mu immediately laughed.

"Gentlemen! May I ask what Director Hai does? Forgive my ignorance, but could you please give me a brief introduction?" Bian Mu asked with a smile.

In fact, everyone in the medical field knows the name of Director Hai. Bian Mu was forced into this situation and had no choice but to do it. It was somewhat of a cheating act.
