Come on, Dr. Wu

In the past few years, Wu Xiaofu has published so many articles that he himself has almost lost count.

As time went by, Wu Xiaofu basically had no intention of publishing articles unless he made some creative discoveries. So if we really talk about Wu Xiaofu's article coefficient now, it might be an astonishing discovery.

Now standing in this circle, Wu Xiaofu discovered that many of the topics discussed by these experts and professors were also his articles. This made Wu Xiaofu somewhat shocked. It turned out that he had been able to stir up topics in the industry without realizing it.

Wu Xiaofu would naturally not hide anything when asked by others. His discovery was rare, but compared with the development of foreign medicine, it was still too low. Now was the rapid development period of Chinese medicine. Wu Xiaofu was unwilling to consider patented knowledge and the like. He just wanted to contribute his own strength to it.

"This time, it should be Teacher Wu who is leading the First Affiliated Hospital of Donghai."

When Wu Xiaofu heard a professor speaking, he was surprised. It seemed that the people who came to attend the annual meeting from the First Affiliated Hospital of Donghai University were really led by him. Before, it was Yu Shifu or Rong Qiao, or at least Wen Xinhan and other big directors who led the team.

But this time, they didn't come at all. It seemed that all the other doctors who were invited to attend the annual meeting were higher in status than Wu Xiaofu.

I remember what Yu Shifu told me when I came here this time: This time, the First Affiliated Hospital's appearance depends entirely on you.

Before, I thought it was to let Wu Xiaofu perform well, but now it seems that it also means handing over the baton. I am afraid they want to hand over the banner of the First Affiliated Hospital to him.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiaofu shook his head. If this continued, he would probably be even busier.

"Oh, Teacher Wu, I have a case on hand. Before I came here, I was wondering if you would come to attend. If you do, I would like to ask you for advice. The annual meeting will be over soon. Can I spare you a moment?"

The person who spoke was a professor from Xishan Provincial Hospital. It was obvious that he was asking the question sincerely and not out of sarcasm. Other experts and professors also became interested after hearing his words.

"Oh? What case? Are you waiting for the annual meeting to end? Tell us about it and we can study it together. We are also very curious about this case that even Professor Luo finds difficult."

Professor Luo was embarrassed to see so many people were interested. When others saw this, they couldn't help but look at him with a mocking look, "Old Luo, don't tell me you have other intentions. Are you trying to dig up people just to discuss the cases?"

Professor Luo's face changed immediately when he heard this. Who would dare to poach Wu Xiaofu now? So many people had tried before but failed, and it also offended the First Affiliated Hospital of Donghai University. He, Luo, dared not violate this taboo.

His eyes fell on Wu Xiaofu, and Wu Xiaofu nodded. Seeing that Wu Xiaofu nodded, Professor Luo had nothing to worry about and simply took out the case.

This is a local patient from Xishan. He was initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, a type of cancer that everyone knows is the most common. Even if it was not diagnosed too late and there was no metastasis, there was still a chance for surgery.

However, after the operation, the patient's survival period is probably only three to five years at most, or even shorter.

This is what Professor Luo told the patient, but the patient was unwilling to accept this fact, so he went to the capital to seek medical treatment, but got the same result. This made the patient discouraged, and he began to turn his attention to other treatment methods.

First, the patient sought out traditional Chinese medicine. He consulted many Chinese medicine practitioners of national medical level, hoping that they would think of a solution. Even if the disease could not be cured, the patient should live for at least ten years, rather than having to undergo surgery and then radiotherapy and chemotherapy to prolong his life.

However, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment was unsatisfactory. After only half a year, the patient developed cancer metastasis, and the liver was the first to be affected.

During the period of receiving traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the patient had never undergone any examination. The metastasis was discovered because the patient developed jaundice and went to the hospital for examination. It only took half a year from the middle stage to the late stage. How could the patient not panic?

He went to see Professor Luo again. The prognosis he gave this time was even worse than last time. The patient had plenty of money, and he didn't believe that he couldn't buy a few years of life with so much money.

Stop asking doctors and start asking masters.

The money was indeed given this time, but the disease was not cured. Instead, it became more serious. The disease also metastasized to the bile duct, and the physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

The patient used to be a 200-pound fat man, but now he only weighs 100 pounds and is so thin that he is just skin and bones. It has only been over half a year. Professor Luo even frowned when he saw him.

The patient came back again. He had tried other treatments and now regretted it. If he had known earlier, he would have undergone surgery half a year ago, or three to five years would have been fine. But this time he found Professor Luo again, and the result was that even if he underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, he would probably have a hard time surviving more than half a year.

Of course the patient couldn't accept this, and he began to lose his sanity. He started throwing money at Professor Luo and promised to give him one million every month as long as Professor Luo could keep him alive for another month.

Well, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted. Although Professor Luo is not short of money, this is the first time I've seen him give money in this way. Besides, his scientific research project is indeed in need of money.

Thinking about attending the annual meeting, Professor Luo simply said that he would try his best. Professor Luo planned to discuss with other colleagues at this annual meeting to see if they could help patients live another year or two.

Especially after seeing Wu Xiaofu, Professor Luo's eyes lit up. The person Wu Xiaofu treated in Country M is still alive until now, for more than three years.

The situation at that time was not much better than it is now.

"Lao Luo, I was wondering why you are still embarrassed to say it. So that's how it is. But we won't get involved in this matter. We don't know anything about it."

The others felt a little embarrassed as they spoke. If they didn't know about this, Lao Luo would have made the money. But now that they all knew about it, it really seemed like Lao Luo's source of income was being cut off.

Professor Luo looked at the crowd's reactions and waved his hands. "What are you thinking? I'm short of money for my research. Even if I can cure the patient, I won't ask him for more money. If he is willing, he can invest in my research. When I have a patent, he won't lose anything."

Everyone said, "Is that so? Then we will come and consult on the matter."

Everyone felt relieved and started to speak freely. "To be honest, in this case, I don't recommend radical surgery for him. He weighed 100 pounds and lost more than 100 pounds in more than half a year. His foundation is damaged. If he has surgery, he may not be able to get off the operating table."

"Well, even if we have surgery, it can only be palliative, and the duration of the surgery must be strictly controlled in order to try to prolong the patient's survival."

"To be honest, there is still some hope that the patient can survive for more than half a year if the cost is not taken into account with radiotherapy and chemotherapy."

……

Everyone was talking at once, and finally everyone's eyes were focused on Wu Xiaofu, "Teacher Wu, what do you think?" Wu Xiaofu was also thinking about the patient's condition. In fact, the patient's condition was very simple. It was because he had been eating too much meat, drinking too much greasy food for a long time, which caused problems with the pancreas and long-term inflammation, leading to pancreatic cancer.

The worst thing is that after the patient developed pancreatic cancer, instead of receiving radical treatment, he started taking a large amount of medication. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment actually depends very much on the patient's foundation and cooperation. After taking so many traditional Chinese medicines, since the disease is not cured, liver damage is almost inevitable.

So the first place the disease spreads to is the liver.

The liver and gallbladder are closely related, and the next one to be affected is the bile duct. I'm afraid it has already spread over a large area, and there is no intact place in the entire abdominal digestive tract.

Especially now that the patient has been delayed for so long and his body has been severely damaged, Wu Xiaofu also understands why Professor Luo is looking for him, but this patient is completely different from the one he treated in Country M.

The patient had a good foundation and had been receiving standardized treatment. Wu Xiaofu's surgery was considered a compliant surgery and his tolerance to the surgery was also good. However, this patient was different. Wu Xiaofu had to worry about whether he could get off the operating table.

The most important thing is that this patient’s will to survive is too strong. If he really cannot get off the operating table, can the patient’s family accept it?

Just from what Professor Luo said, the patient's condition was so serious, not to mention the patient's own condition.

"I'm not sure either."

This!
Professor Luo also gave a bitter smile when he heard this. That's right, the reason why he told Wu Xiaofu this was because he wanted to ask Wu Xiaofu if he was confident that he could complete this operation.

Surgery is the only possibility that can allow patients to survive for more than half a year, so no money is easy to earn. Of course, even if the patient does not pay, he just happened to come here this time, and he has to ask Wu Xiaofu if there is still a possibility of surgery.

"I just thought that Teacher Wu had a successful case, so I came to ask him. Now I can only say that the patient is unlucky."

But there were people at the scene who were familiar with Wu Xiaofu. Wang Buyi looked at Wu Xiaofu and asked, "What do you mean by unsure?"

According to Wang Buyi's understanding, if Wu Xiaofu really had no confidence at all, he would not have said that and would have directly said that radical surgery could not be performed. Now that he has said that he is not sure, it may be that he is just not sure of complete success.

These are two completely different concepts.

Everyone seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly looked at Wu Xiaofu, "If the patient's current physical condition is really as Teacher Luo said, the possibility of me completing a radical cure for him is only 30%. His foundation is too weak, and I'm afraid the patient won't be able to make it to the end of the operation.

As you know, this level of radical surgery will still take two hours even if I perform the operation quickly. And it is really unknown whether the patient can survive for two hours.

I have also thought about strengthening the patient's body foundation first, but patients with extensive metastases in the abdominal digestive tract have limited absorption of drugs and food. I am afraid that if the time is delayed, the absorption will not be as fast as the consumption.

The most important thing is that the patient's liver function is failing and almost failing. In this case, it is almost impossible to nourish him even with Chinese medicine.

To be honest, this kind of surgery is a gamble, and I have hardly ever performed such an operation before."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. For such an operation, they had never considered performing a radical cure on the patient because it was simply impossible. Not to mention a 30% chance, they didn't even have a 10% chance of success.

Now Wu Xiaofu dared to say that he was 30% sure. To be honest, if they were 30% sure, they would have made the money. Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Xiaofu, and they had complicated expressions.

They didn't think Wu Xiaofu was showing off when he said this. After all, there was evidence to support his statement. Wu Xiaofu had never performed an operation with only a 30% chance of success before. Moreover, they also understood the implication of Wu Xiaofu's words. This operation was completely different from the one Wu Xiaofu had performed in Country M.

Professor Luo was also a little surprised at this time. "30% is enough. This is a radical cure. If you can get 30% sure, what else do you need?"

Hearing that Professor Luo could tell jokes, everyone started laughing.

"The patient's will to live is so strong, and I'm afraid the family members are similar. Teacher Luo, are you sure that if the patient can't get off the operating table, their family members can accept it? I don't want the patient's family members to quarrel with me because of this."

Professor Luo's face froze when he heard this. He hadn't discussed this issue with the patient and his family yet. A 30% chance of success would mean that there was a high probability that the patient would have to die on the operating table. The three to five year survival rate was unacceptable back then, so could they really accept the current 30% chance?

I'm afraid not.

Thinking of this, Professor Luo didn't dare to promise anything. "How about this, I will go back and discuss with the patient in detail. As for whether to do it or not, it depends on them. If they really want to do it, I'm afraid we will have to invite Teacher Wu to Xishan as a return guest."

Wu Xiaofu just nodded and said nothing more. The patient's condition was indeed not suitable for another long-distance transportation, especially if he really had to go to the First Affiliated Hospital. He would probably have to do another examination, which would waste a lot of time. It didn't matter to him if he made a trip.

After a discussion, the time was almost up.

At ten o'clock, everyone sat in their seats. Wu Xiaofu sat in the first row this time, representing the Donghai Medical Association. Behind him were other doctors from Donghai.

As soon as he sat down, a group of people came over to say hello. Almost all those who were invited were directors, experts, and professors from various units. Wu Xiaofu also knew many of them and had called them teachers and seniors.

However, they had no objection when they saw Wu Xiaofu leading the East China Medical Association. After all, Wu Xiaofu was sitting here based on his strength, not on his connections.

"Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wu from the Donghai Medical Association to share his experience with everyone."

President Lin came to the stage to give a speech, the content of which was the achievements of the Medical Association in the past year, and he looked forward to the future. Finally, he ended his speech. The rest of the time was for everyone. As for sharing experiences, it is usually shared last.

But Wu Xiaofu didn't expect that President Lin would let him go first.

clap clap clap!
The applause had already begun, making Wu Xiaofu feel as if he were back in the classroom of Tunghai Medical University. With a smile on his face, he walked up to the podium, shook hands with President Lin, and then began his performance. (End of this chapter)
