Chapter 328: All serious medical students have to write papers

A few days after the volunteer activity, Xia Qingdai suddenly received a message from Du Zhong, telling her that he had polished the paper on the rare disease of abdominal cocooning.

Xia Qingdai immediately opened her computer mailbox and clicked on the paper to read.

This is an English version of the paper, which was drafted by Xia Qingdai and polished by Du Zhong. After the order of the authors is determined, the paper will be submitted soon.

The reason for writing the English version directly is that the most powerful professional academic journals in today's society are still in the hands of foreigners. Xia Qingdai is also very strong in English. After all, she has a unique English environment, so writing an English manuscript is not a problem.

When she and Du Zhong visited the family of the business tycoon for a home check-up, each of them received a cash red envelope of 5,000 yuan as the home consultation fee, which was a good gain for both of them.

Later, the stubborn old man was finally persuaded by his son and went to the hospital for a targeted abdominal examination.

In the end, the expert came to the same conclusion as Du Zhong, that it was a rare disease, abdominal cocoon syndrome. Du Zhong received another 10,000 yuan red envelope from the boss, and the boss gave half of it to Xia Qingdai, because he felt that the two played an equal role in this diagnosis.

Although Xia Qingdai loved money, she did not accept it. She did not even know what abdominal cocoon disease was at that time, so how could she diagnose it?

This is off topic, so let’s not talk about it for now.

After the old man was diagnosed with abdominal cocooning, all doctors advised him to overcome his psychological barriers as soon as possible and undergo surgical treatment. Although the symptoms were mild and not serious enough to endanger his life, it would not be optimistic if he was left alone.

The doctor in Jiangcheng who can perform this operation with 90% success is the director of the gastroenterology department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Jiangda. Directors of other hospitals will not easily try it.

Regardless of whether the doctor was willing to see him, the old man himself was determined not to undergo surgery. He was very resistant to surgery and firmly refused to accept it.

In his opinion, Western medicine is poisonous, and surgery is even more damaging. Traditional Chinese medicine can treat both the symptoms and the root cause, and most importantly, it does not require opening the abdomen.

But what he knew was extremely one-sided. In fact, even in traditional Chinese medicine, there is a division between internal medicine and surgery. Just like the ancient genius doctor Hua Tuo, it is generally believed that his surgical skills were better.

The stubborn old man naturally didn't understand so much, he just insisted on what he wanted to insist on. His son had no choice but to ask for help from Mr. Liang again.

In terms of the level of Chinese medicine, there is basically no one in the world who can pat his chest and say that he is better than Mr. Liang. Since the old man insisted on seeing a Chinese doctor and refused to accept Chinese medicine surgical treatment, he could only ask Mr. Liang for help.

Xia Qingdai followed Master Liang to the special care ward to treat patients who had been admitted to the hospital several times, and copied prescriptions from her teacher, all for the sake of gaining knowledge. Du Zhong was interested in the medical records, so he followed along to read them.

In other hospitals, this disease is usually treated with only Chinese medicine to relieve symptoms, supplemented by surgery and Western medicine, a two-pronged approach.

But in the case of traditional Chinese medicine doctor Liang, the whole process of treatment is traditional Chinese medicine. During this treatment, Xia Qingdai not only copied the prescription from her teacher, but also recorded the data in preparation for writing the paper.

Later, she discussed with Du Zhong that she would draft the paper and Du Zhong would polish it. This was a patient of their Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and they asked Du Zhong to come over to get some experience. He would be named for polishing the paper, so naturally, he would not be paid. It was a win-win cooperation for everyone.

Although Xia Qingdai's contribution during the treatment was not great, it was not impossible to replace a senior student with a senior student to write the paper draft, but Professor Liang was willing to give this opportunity to Xia Qingdai. Du Zhong's polishing was more important, because the writing of the paper was always the focus. Xia Qingdai's first contact was still relatively immature.

If the paper can be published successfully, Xia Qingdai will have no problem becoming the second or third author. The key is whether Mr. Liang will add his name.

Normally, the treatment is done by Professor Liang, and the paper based on this treatment plan should be credited to Professor Liang.

But when it comes to Mr. Liang's status, even if he has reached the highest level in the field of writing, he is not willing to easily add his name to students' papers. Unless a student really has no talent for writing papers and has difficulty graduating, he will add his name to the paper to gild it.

In recent years, he even stopped accepting graduate students. He would only make an exception for a "phenomenal talent" like Xia Qingdai.

When Xia Qingdai was reading an English paper on her laptop, Cheng Xiao finished washing up and casually glanced at her screen. She asked in surprise, "Qingdai, are you reading the original English version? Are you working so hard in your freshman year?"

Xia Qingdai had already finished reading the paper, and immediately sent it to Mr. Liang's email address, then closed the window and replied, "Well. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"That still requires some thought." Those who can be admitted to Jiangnan University naturally have no obvious weaknesses in various subjects, and they are all good at English.

But reading the original English paper still requires some brain cells. Xia Qingdai also spent a long time looking through the English-Chinese dictionary when she was writing, and she didn't know many Chinese medicine words at all.

Xia Qingdai smiled and didn't continue talking to Cheng Xiao about this topic. Just at this moment, Xia Shishi, who had just returned from self-study, pushed the door open and walked in: "Ding ding ding! I brought you some midnight snacks, come and eat together!"

Cheng Xiao's attention was immediately diverted. She knew what it was without even looking, because the strong aroma of durian filled the entire dormitory: "Wow, it's durian! Shishi, you're so kind! Although I want to lose weight, I can postpone my weight loss plan for a day for durian."

“Hehe, I knew you’d like it!” Xia Shishi put the bag of durian on the table and said to her two roommates, “Come and get it!”

"Thank you." Xia Qingdai also loves to eat durian, but she is used to being frugal, so she really couldn't think of buying such an expensive fruit.

"Durian is about to go off the market and the price is going to go up again, so let's eat one last batch." Xia Shishi said, put on disposable gloves, grabbed a piece and started eating.

After a while, Shi Yan also returned to the dormitory with a book in her arms. As soon as she came back, she sniffed and frowned, "What's that smell? It smells stinky, but also fragrant."

Xia Shishi looked at Shi Yan in surprise and said, "Oh, Shi Xiaoyan, your description is so accurate. Isn't that what durian tastes like? Come and try it. You will only feel its fragrance when you put it in your mouth."

Cheng Xiao and Xia Qingdai also greeted her, as if they were sharing a delicious meal.

Shi Yan had heard of durian, but had never eaten it. She took a piece out of curiosity and took a bite. The sweetness was so strong and the texture was so soft that she couldn't accept it.

"I seem to have forgotten to get some water. I'll go get some." Shi Yan picked up the thermos and asked her roommates if they needed some. They all said no, so she hurried out. She ran downstairs, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and quickly threw away a large piece of durian that she had only taken a bite of.

Oh, I really can't stand it! The smell is acceptable, but the taste is too weird, I really can't get used to it.
