A doctor who travels through two eras

Dean Shen was a little puzzled: "Why do we need to use both Chinese and English versions of medical records?"

Lin Sanqi explained:

"There is no other way. We have collected 5000 medical records. Next, we will formally report to our superiors. I believe that once the announcement that my country is the first country in the world to conquer tuberculosis is made, it will surely cause a global sensation.

But Dean Shen, think about what our country looks like in the eyes of Western countries? To describe it in the words of the textbook, it is a country that is ignorant, backward, numb, and has pigtails on its head. "

Vice President Ji blinked and objected:
"Sanqi, you are wrong, right? Our new China has been established for more than ten years. The world has changed a lot and it is no longer the same as before. You should be talking about the late Qing Dynasty, right?"

"Old Ji, you are wrong. In the eyes of Western countries, China is like this. This is naked prejudice and arrogance."

Lin Sanqi thought that this kind of prejudice and arrogance continued even in 2014.

Even many foreigners think that China doesn't even have steam locomotives, but they never imagined that we already have high-speed trains with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

Then when I arrived in China, I saw the tall buildings, the speeding trains, and the bustling metropolises, and all I could say was “Oh my God.”

"So once our tuberculosis satellite is launched, the first thing it will attract will not be praise from foreigners. Just wait and see. The first thing it will attract will definitely be overwhelming doubts, or some low-quality people will directly scold it.

We need to respond to these doubts and prove to the world that we can cure tuberculosis. It is not enough to just talk about it; we need data and evidence. The 5000 medical records in this room are the best proof.

If nothing unexpected happens, the World Health Organization or other foreign medical schools will definitely form an inspection team to investigate the truth of the matter.

If we only have Chinese materials, they will find fault and deny it, and our efforts will be wasted. So I prepared a full set of English materials for them from the beginning.

And it's not just the English medical records. This is what I want to emphasize, they must be true. We must be realistic for these 5000 patients.

How many were cured? How many were not cured? What were the reasons for not being cured? How were the follow-up treatments conducted? What was the mortality rate? What were the causes of death? All of this should be carefully and truthfully recorded.

I just briefly mentioned a few points, which are also questions that foreigners will definitely ask and will also be randomly checked.

If any one of these 5000 pieces of information is fake and discovered by them, all 5000 pieces of information will be invalidated, so it must be authentic.”

Vice President Ji was a little dissatisfied after hearing this.

"Xiao Qi, it's okay for us to talk behind closed doors, but you can't keep talking about foreigners outside. Do we need foreigners to approve our treatment? We also need them to come and check. Why do they have to be so superior?"

Vice President Ji is 57 years old this year. He has experienced foreigners bullying China, so he has great prejudice and vigilance against foreigners.

Lin Sanqi could understand, but there was nothing he could do about some things:

"Old Ji, there is nothing we can do. If we close the door and play by ourselves, there is no need for foreigners to verify and inspect. But if we want to go out into the world and prove ourselves to the world, we must abide by the rules of the game.

There is nothing shameful in letting foreigners come to check. I just mentioned the World Health Organization, which is an organization united by countries all over the world, not just the United States or the Soviet Union, so there is no intention to target my country. "

International organizations are actually bitches. Whoever has the bigger fist has the dominant power. This is certain.

However, international organizations cannot be completely controlled by certain countries, especially now that the United States and the Soviet Union are competing for hegemony. Neither can overwhelm the other, so it is relatively fair.

Once the polar bear falls, it will be a one-man show of a certain superpower, and fairness and justice will be lost.

Dean Shen has another concern:
"Xiao Qi, the problem is that our country has not yet joined the World Health Organization. Even if we announce the news that tuberculosis has been conquered, they may not pay attention to us."

The situation in China in the 1960s was really miserable, but we still had the Big Brother in the north to unite with us. At least we still had an organization.

It turns out that Big Brother is not a good guy either. He stabbed us in the back and wanted to kill us. He even deployed millions of troops on the border and prepared a nuclear explosion plan. So under this severe situation, our relationship with the United States actually eased privately.
There is an old Chinese saying: The enemy of my enemy is my friend
America's enemy is Mao, and China's enemy is also Mao. Even if China and the United States continue to fight and kill each other in name, in fact, the relationship between China and Western countries has already broken the ice in private.

For example, in 1960, my country imported 76.2 tons of wheat and 32.7 tons of barley from the Maple Leaf Country.
Since 1961, China has purchased 500 million tons of wheat and 500 million tons of barley from Maple Leaf Country every year. What should China do when it does not have so much foreign exchange? In the end, the money was paid on credit, half sold and half given away.

Similarly, during the most difficult years in the country, the amount of food aid from the United States, the Kangaroo Country, West Germany and other countries was still very large.

Of course, it’s not that the European and American countries have a change of heart, but they believe that a China that has fallen out with the Soviet Union is in their interests, so they are actively trying to win us over.

But no matter what the purpose is, it has greatly alleviated the domestic food crisis and our diplomacy.

Dean Shen and Vice Dean Ji are both ordinary doctors and ordinary deans. They are not familiar with national affairs, not to mention that the above news is unlikely to be published in newspapers.

Should we publish an advertisement in the newspaper saying that the Maple Leaf Country donated millions of tons of food to us, and then it was all taken away by our close comrade-in-arms, the Country of Albania?
But Lin Sanqi is different. He has a God's perspective, and the various documents decrypted in later generations are enough to prevent Lin Sanqi from misjudging this era.

"President Shen, Lao Ji, we are not afraid that our country has not joined the WHO. After all, we are still an observer country."

An observer refers to a country or organization that has applied to join the World Health Organization but has not yet been formally accepted. The Director-General of the World Health Organization will invite these applicants as observers based on actual work needs.

Although these observers can attend the one-week conference, they do not have voting rights or personnel allocation rights. They cannot access important WHO documents and need to apply separately to participate in each conference project.

But in 1961, the situation changed and it was completely upside down. It was not until 72 that we officially regained our status as a full member.

Dean Shen smacked his lips:

"We only attend the annual meeting once a year, and we don't take it very seriously in our country."

Lin Sanqi smiled and said:
"That was before because we didn't have any outstanding medical technology in our country. Not to mention that we didn't have the right to speak, even if we could, what could we say? It will be different in the future. Don't we already have tuberculosis treatment technology? And we are not a formal member, but our neighbors have formal members."

Dean Shen and Vice Dean Ji looked at Lin Sanqi puzzledly:

"Next door? Where?"

"Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong? How do you say that?"

Lin Sanqi knew that he had laid the groundwork for the event, so he finally revealed his true intentions:
"My fifth uncle and sixth uncle have set up a Lingnantang Pharmaceutical Company in Hong Kong. Of course, it is just a small Chinese medicine clinic now, and it hasn't even built a pharmaceutical factory, but Lingnantang now has patents for three drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis."

Vice President Ji frowned:

"Tuberculosis drugs...shouldn't they belong to the state? How can a private person own the patent?"

Lin Sanqi rolled his eyes:

"Of course it's ours. This is a drug invented based on our family's secret recipe. It's the first of its kind in the world, so of course we have to apply for a patent. But don't be afraid. We have the patent, and we will license it to the country for free. You don't have to pay a penny."

Vice President Ji laughed angrily:
"What do you mean by 'we'? 'You, Lin Sanqi, are now the vice president of our Chinese Medicine Hospital, so we are a family. Since you are a public servant, if you don't hand over your inventions to the state, you will be in big trouble."

The logic is this: if you work in a company and invent something while working, who owns the property rights? The company or the individual?
Dean Shen must help his godson at the critical moment:

"I know about this. There is no problem. They use a secret recipe passed down from their ancestors, and they did not entrust domestic scientific research institutions to help with the research and development. The country has not contributed anything, so why should they ask for their patents?"

Lin Sanqi sighed in his heart, thinking that people in this era are too conservative. He didn't know how his plan would cause an uproar if he told it. (End of this chapter)
