Come on, Dr. Wu

No matter how Galka thought and struggled in his mind, Wu Xiaofu and others did not belong to this land after all.

At this moment, Galka stared at Wu Xiaofu closely, his eyes full of expectation, and said sincerely: "Teacher Wu, the people in this land live too hard. And now you are like a savior who has fallen from the sky to them! If you are willing to stay, I am willing to give you the position of dean, okay?"

Galka said this without any hesitation, because it was not just a casual remark, every word was filled with his truest thoughts.

You know, Galka took on the position of dean not to satisfy his personal desire for power or to satisfy the desire to be an official.

The reason he stepped forward to take on this responsibility was entirely out of a desire to solve the rampant Ebola virus problem and save those who were suffering from the disease.

However, now that there is a more outstanding candidate like Wu Xiaofu who is more likely to lead everyone to defeat the disease, Galka feels that he should take the initiative to step down and leave the opportunity to more capable people to play a role.

As long as Wu Xiaofu nodded in agreement, let alone just the position of the dean, even if he was required to be subordinate, work hard and even work like a slave, Galka would agree without hesitation.

Wu Xiaofu could naturally see what was in Galka's mind, but even in the face of Galka's eager expectations and earnest requests, he finally shook his head slowly to express his refusal.

Although Wu Xiaofu has always been kind and helpful, and is willing to lend a helping hand to emergencies faced by other countries, he is also clearly aware that some difficulties cannot be completely resolved by one's own efforts alone.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the airport waiting hall onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Wu Xiaofu and his companions dragged their slightly tired bodies and slowly walked towards the boarding gate. Several of them were already feeling unwell, and after the exhaustion and anxiety during this period of time, they felt even more exhausted physically and mentally.

These days, they have been busy day and night, not only having to deal with high-intensity work pressure, but also having to overcome many difficulties such as language barriers and cultural differences.

Everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit, as if they would break at any moment.

At this moment, when they learned that they could finally embark on the journey back home, those people who had originally felt uncomfortable seemed to be injected with a powerful motivation. They quickly packed their luggage and couldn't wait to leave this place, not even willing to stay for a minute longer.

In their words: "We finally got to return home. Even if we die, we want to die on the land of our own motherland!"

Indeed, during the most difficult and arduous time, they had worried countless times whether they would leave their lives forever in this foreign country. However, with their tenacious will and firm belief, they finally persevered.

Faced with the invitation from Country F to hold a grand celebration party for them, Wu Xiaofu chose to refuse without hesitation.

He said calmly: "We came to Country F not to pursue the so-called honor and reward, but just to do our best to contribute a little to the foreign patients who suffered from the disaster. Now that the mission has been completed, we just want to return home as soon as possible and reunite with our loved ones."

Although these words were plain, they were full of sincere emotions and moved everyone present.

As the roar of the plane engine sounded, the plane that Wu Xiaofu and his companions were riding gradually accelerated and took off, flying towards the distant east. At this moment, they were eager to return home, their hearts full of longing and attachment to home...

Undoubtedly, such remarks have once again won the deep respect and love of the people of Country F. However, having said that, the honors that should have belonged to Wu Xiaofu and others will not be lost!

Wu Xiaofu made great contributions in this operation, which was of great significance to the Three Kingdoms. Therefore, when he was ready to return, the Three Kingdoms specially sent a special plane to escort Wu Xiaofu and his team back to China.

Although Wu Xiaofu and his colleagues were unable to attend the celebration banquet due to various reasons, this cannot in any way conceal the great contributions they have made.

In order to express recognition and gratitude for the achievements of Wu Xiaofu and others, the three countries not only awarded them medals symbolizing the highest honor, but also bestowed Wu Xiaofu the lofty title of "National Peace Ambassador".

You know, although these honors remain at the level of reputation only, the impact they can bring cannot be underestimated.

Apart from other aspects, these honors will undoubtedly become an extremely important plus point in Wu Xiaofu's resume when he participates in various international awards in the future. After all, being able to receive such high praise and recognition from other countries is enough to prove his outstanding personal ability and great contribution.

But then again, no matter how dazzling and enviable the honors abroad are, they are ultimately not as precious as the warmth and recognition from one’s hometown!

As a medical worker, when they set out on the journey back home, Wu Xiaofu and his colleagues never thought that they would receive such high-level treatment.

The national organization actually came to pick him up at the airport and arranged a warm and thoughtful reception. This scene was so rare that even experienced people like Wu Xiaofu felt a little flattered.

During a series of welcoming activities, Wu Xiaofu felt as if he was in a dream. Everything was so unreal yet exciting.

Even Wu Xiaofu, who was usually calm, felt a little dizzy at this moment, not to mention his other companions.

Not only that, the organizers also took special care to invite Wu Xiaofu and his relatives to participate in this grand welcoming ceremony.

This attentiveness and care can be said to be the highest courtesy given to them, making everyone present feel a deep warmth and respect.

At this moment, Wen Xinhan and the others felt an indescribable emotion deep in their hearts, and they all felt that this life-threatening expedition was absolutely worth it!
At the same time, the hospital also generously praised and commended Wu Xiaofu and his colleagues, and held a grand homecoming ceremony for them, with the entire hospital filled with joy and pride.

Needless to say, even though Wu Xiaofu and his colleagues did not proactively raise any additional requests, everyone knew that these brave and fearless heroes would be given priority in the future selection of titles and promotion opportunities within the hospital. After all, their efforts and dedication are obvious to all.

In addition, the hospital was fully aware of the difficulty and hardship of Wu Xiaofu and his team's mission, so in order to allow them to get enough rest and relaxation, they specially granted them a long vacation.

This decision undoubtedly made everyone feel relieved. They can finally put aside the pressure of work and enjoy the wonderful time of reuniting with their families and recuperating their bodies and minds.

Qu Ying has ended her overseas trip and returned to China, while Wu Bin, Sarilang and others gathered in Donghai after learning the news of Wu Xiaofu's return.

It is no exaggeration to say that this long vacation is of great significance to Wu Xiaofu, even surpassing the importance of any other thing.

But before that, he had to see a patient.

The patient and Wu Xiaofu were connected through a blogging platform.

The contact person was the patient's son, who was still in country F at the time. The patient's son was very anxious and active. According to him, in order to treat his father, they had traveled to many places and visited many hospitals, but they had never found an effective treatment.

Therefore, he begged Wu Xiaofu to lend a helping hand and save his father.

Wu Xiaofu took time out of his busy schedule to ask the other party to send him the patient's medical records as soon as possible. After receiving the information, Wu Xiaofu carefully checked and analyzed it. However, this case is not so easy to judge.

So after some consideration, he finally reached an agreement with the patient's son: continue to watch, and if he can wait until he returns from abroad, he will personally see the patient.

It is worth mentioning that when the patient’s son contacted Wu Xiaofu for the first time, only three months had passed since Wu Xiaofu arrived in Country F.

At that time, the patient's son should have consulted some experienced doctors and received valuable guidance, otherwise the records would not have been so professional and detailed.

According to him, the patient had two extremely heavy drinking experiences about two months ago and one month ago.

The amount of alcohol consumed each time was staggering, reaching 1-2 jin! This amazing amount of alcohol is really unbearable for ordinary people. And it was these two heavy drinks that brought a series of serious health problems to the patient. Shortly after the first drink, the patient began to have symptoms of difficulty urinating. It felt like an invisible barrier blocked the excretion channel, and urine could only flow out drop by drop. However, this was just the beginning.

After the second drink, the situation became worse. The patient held it in for two hours. The severe pain in his lower abdomen made him sit still, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his internal organs. After a long period of painful torment, he finally managed to urinate by his own efforts.

After that, the patient began to have dull pain in the abdomen, but fortunately, this was not accompanied by other abnormal symptoms such as fever or jaundice.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, the family immediately took the patient to the local town hospital for treatment, and then transferred him to the gastroenterology department of the county people's hospital. After a detailed examination, the doctors were surprised to find that the patient had about four centimeters of ascites in his body.

Faced with this situation, the local hospital quickly took corresponding symptomatic treatment measures. Unfortunately, despite the best efforts of the medical staff, the treatment effect was not satisfactory.

Seeing that the patient's condition showed no signs of improvement, the anxious family members made a prompt decision to transfer the patient to the gastroenterology department of the City Central Hospital, hoping to find a better treatment option there.

However, after conducting a comprehensive examination of the patient, the experts at the City Center Hospital were also in trouble.

Since the examination results failed to clearly indicate the exact source of the ascites, whether it was caused by gallbladder problems, liver cirrhosis, or other sources, they were temporarily helpless and unable to prescribe the right medicine to treat the primary disease.

As a result, completely curing the patient's disease undoubtedly becomes an almost impossible task.

Faced with this situation, the patient had no choice but to be transferred to the hepatobiliary surgery department of the Provincial People's Hospital for further examination.

However, after a series of tedious biochemical index tests, the results still failed to show significant abnormalities.

The patient's albumin value is within the normal range. You know, albumin is an extremely critical indicator in the human body. If its content is low, it will become easy for fluid to accumulate inside the human body, causing various discomfort symptoms.

Almost all patients with ascites have low albumin levels, and most of them will use albumin supplementation as a routine treatment, but this patient is clearly a special case.

Fibrinogen and D-dimer levels were somewhat elevated, but this phenomenon did not provide doctors with sufficient evidence to make a clear diagnosis.

Therefore, abdominal puncture and drainage were performed later, and the extracted ascites was subjected to pathological examination. It was hoped that by analyzing the nature of the ascites, the specific source of the patient's ascites could be accurately determined.

However, when the medical staff put the extracted ascites in front of their eyes, they found that it was a light yellow and transparent liquid. From the appearance, it seemed that it was neither like the common cancerous ascites nor the characteristics of ascites caused by liver disease.

Faced with such a result, everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought. In this case, they had no choice but to extract a sample of ascites and send it to the pathology department for a more in-depth and detailed examination.

During this period, the patient also underwent a number of other examinations, such as ultrasound examinations, enhanced CT scans, etc., but unfortunately, these examinations also failed to reveal any obvious problems.

Seeing that all conventional examination methods had been exhausted and still no results were found, the doctors had to consider expanding the search scope. They arranged for the patient to undergo a series of more complex and comprehensive examinations, including painless gastrointestinal endoscopy, PET-CT whole-body scan, and bladder ultrasound, in order to find the real cause of the patient's ascites.

However, after more than a month of detailed examinations, the patient's weight had dropped dramatically by more than ten or twenty kilograms, and he looked extremely haggard and thin.

But despite this, the key diagnostic result has never been determined, and even the specific cause of ascites is still as elusive as a fog.

During the physical examination, doctors found that apart from persistent abdominal pain, the patient did not seem to have any other significant physical signs.

What is even more confusing is that the location of the abdominal pain seems to be concentrated near the liver and gallbladder area, but after carefully exploring the liver and gallbladder area through a series of advanced imaging examinations, no abnormalities were found.

During this period, medical staff worked tirelessly to arrange a large number of various examinations for the patients.

Although a definite diagnosis could not be given in the end, fortunately, through these complicated testing processes, many possible diseases such as liver, kidney and gallbladder dysfunction and heart tumors were successfully ruled out.

After considering various factors, the provincial hospital initially speculated that the patient's illness might be related to the gastrointestinal tract, or caused by tuberculous peritonitis, or even a difficult and complicated disease such as bladder cancer or abdominal mesenchymal tumor.

Time flies. More than half a year has passed since the patient's son first contacted Wu Xiaofu.

During this long period of time, the patient and his family members, carrying with them the last glimmer of hope, traveled from one well-known hospital to another across the country, hoping to find a skilled medical practitioner to help them uncover the truth behind this mysterious disease.

Unfortunately, the reality did not go as planned. No matter where we went, all experts seemed helpless in the face of such difficult cases and were unable to give a clear and concise diagnosis.

In desperation, even though the patient longs for effective treatment, he can only temporarily take some symptomatic conservative treatments to alleviate the condition, while silently waiting for Wu Xiaofu's return, hoping that he can bring a miraculous turnaround.

The patient's son was indeed very smart. When he realized that even the provincial hospital was helpless against his father, he immediately racked his brains to find a way to contact Wu Xiaofu.

If he hadn't been so smart, Wu Xiaofu would probably have happened to be on vacation today.

When Wu Xiaofu was on his way back, he also saw information about this case on the "Chinese Hepatic and Gallbladder Heroes Post".

The "Chinese Liver and Gallbladder Hero Post" is an important document circulated within the doctor community. Whenever doctors from major hospitals encounter difficult diseases in the liver and gallbladder field, they will publish a post. Then, doctors from other major hospitals can work together to come up with ideas and solutions.

In addition to the liver and gallbladder hero posts, there are many other categories such as gastrointestinal hero posts and brain hero posts.

This case has been hanging in the air for half a year! During this period, doctors from various hospitals have held heated discussions on this case, and there are many different opinions, but to this day, no definite conclusion has been reached.

What's worse is that although it is not yet clear whether the patient suffers from a tumor, his condition is getting worse, which is obviously not a good sign!

There is no doubt that the psychological pressure on this patient is becoming increasingly severe over time.

Not only that, the condition itself is objectively there and presents the significant characteristics of typical wasting diseases such as tumors.

You know, the middle-aged patient who originally weighed 160 kilograms has now become only 100 kilograms, which is almost half the weight! Because of this, this case has become a difficult disease that has attracted national attention.

At this moment, an anxious voice suddenly sounded: "Doctor Wu, you are finally back! Please help my father as soon as possible. If he continues to develop like this, I am afraid he really can't hold on."

The person who spoke was the patient's son. When he saw Wu Xiaofu, he became very excited. It turned out that Wu Xiaofu had contacted the patient's son long before he returned to China and asked him to go through the hospitalization procedures first.

At the same time, Wu Xiaofu also arranged in advance for the department to receive the patient, and also conducted a comprehensive and detailed examination of the patient according to his requirements. However, what is puzzling is that after a series of detailed examinations, it is still impossible to find out the crux of the problem.

What is even more worrying is that in the past six months, the patient's ascites has been extracted as many as seven or eight times, but his condition continues to worsen.

Now, even eating normally has become a difficult task for patients. In the face of this situation, if you insist that there is no problem, no one will believe it.

"Okay, I've almost understood the specific situation. I'll go see the patient first."

After comforting the patient's family, Wu Xiaofu went straight to the ward. When seeing a doctor, the most important thing is not the imaging examinations, but the patient. Only by seeing the patient can you really know what is going on and make a diagnosis. Otherwise, it will be useless. (End of this chapter)
