A doctor who travels through two eras
Chapter 449: A $500 Million Bet
The arrogance of Americans made Professor Anthony and Professor Theodore insist on their own views on "lung cancer".
However, the cunning Japanese doctor Kokusu Yukiki holds on to the principle of not offending any three parties. He is like a fence-sitter, saying yes, yes, yes on this side and yes, yes, yes on that side, with an ambiguous stance.
However, Nango Saburo seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and insisted that his wife's illness was not terminal and there was still a glimmer of hope.
How to convince the other party becomes a difficult point.
At this time, the best way is to do a puncture biopsy. Once the test is done, it will be clear whether it is cancer, tuberculosis or inflammation.
However, the patient's current physical condition is very weak. The old lady, who is 160 cm tall, currently weighs only 38 kg. There are a lot of arrows going up and down on various examination indicators, and it is obvious that she is not suitable for puncture.
Even if you go ahead and do the puncture, if you puncture the malignant tumor and the cancer cells spread, it will be a death sentence.
If even puncture cannot be performed, then the risk of surgery will be even greater.
Nango Sanlang asked weakly, "Mr. Lin, if my wife has tuberculosis, you should have medicine to treat it, right?"
The Americans were stubborn, and so was Lin Sanqi. He nodded with certainty and said:
"The blood vessels and bronchi in the lesion are not deformed or thickened, and there are satellite lesions around them. So we should consider inflammation or tuberculosis."
"Fuck, how is this possible?"
Professor Theodore couldn't help it and started to rant:
"Lin, just because you are an expert in tuberculosis, you can't think that every disease looks like tuberculosis. If this case is not lung cancer, I will eat all these film clips."
Professor Anthony also shook his head:
"Lin, believe me, I am an expert in pulmonary medicine. I have treated tens of thousands of cases of lung cancer, so our judgment is not wrong. In Mrs. Nanxiang's case, even surgery is useless. What do you think, Dr. Xiaonan?"
Xiaokusu Yuki scratched his head:
"I think this is lung cancer, tuberculosis cannot be ruled out, and inflammatory pseudotumor and fungal pneumonia are also possible. We need a detailed analysis to determine which one it is..."
Everyone at the scene rolled their eyes at him, thinking that what he said was complete nonsense.
Lin Sanqi was not in a hurry and directly drew an anatomical diagram of the lungs online:
"Everyone, let me analyze it for you:
This case is a peripheral lung mass-like shadow with satellite lesions around it. The lesion does not have an obvious sense of expansion, but a strong sense of contraction. The lesion has obvious necrosis. However, the cavity wall is not thick, and there are long cords between the lesion and the pleura, not like a trumpet-shaped pleural depression;
In addition, there is the bronchial creeping sign, the so-called bronchial tree creeping sign, which means that the lesion generally grows in the periphery, forming soft tissue nodules or masses, and there is a tendency for the near-hilar side to grow along the bronchial vascular bundle toward the hilum. Therefore, the outer part is larger than the inner part.
I repeat: if there are punctate calcifications, low density inside, diffuse satellite lesions, air bronchograms, and local pleural thickening, we should first consider pulmonary tuberculosis! "
Professor Anthony looked at the anatomical diagram on the paper and shrugged again:
"Chen, I don't think you can convince me with just these, and you can't immediately prove the correctness of your point of view. You can't perform surgery or puncture."
Lin Sanqi thought, that’s because you have no way to deal with it, but I have plenty of ways.
As long as we serve this Japanese tycoon well and cure his wife's intractable disease, wouldn't we make a lot of money? And we can also bring glory to the country, right?
"Mr. Nanxiang, where is your wife now? You'd better come over so that I can conduct a further examination."
Professor Theodore was not convinced again:
"Lin, there are so many X-rays and medical reports. Everything that can and should be done has been done. Why do you still want to do further examinations?"
Lin Sanqi said calmly, "I need a CT scan."
"CT?"
The two American doctors were confused again. How could this be another concept they had never heard of before?
"What the hell is CT?"
"CT, which stands for Computed Tomography, is a new type of computer tomography that can better diagnose lung diseases."
Lin Sanqi knew that if he wanted to intimidate these Americans and make the Japanese tycoons pay money, he had to come up with something that would impress people.
Nothing can attract people's attention more than the new inspection equipment such as CT.
Don’t ask where CT came from. If you ask, the answer is that it was invented at an overseas base and is still in the laboratory stage. Do you think I should tell you that it is a time travel?
Professor Theodore was angry: "Okay, Lin, I want to see your so-called latest technology."
Professor Anthony thought of the advanced instruments in the laboratory, wondering if this Chinese doctor had any other tricks up his sleeve. So he became very interested.
Nango Saburo was very excited and immediately asked his secretary to go to the hotel to pick up his wife.
Leaders Cheng and Jing pulled Lin Sanqi aside and asked anxiously:
"Comrade Sanqi, you can't use that old lady as an experiment. Let me tell you, this Mr. Nanxiang is not only the president of the China-Japan Friendship Association, in fact, he is very important to our country.
Because we are under blockade, we do not have the right to trade with foreign countries independently. Many import and export trades are handled by the Japan Cotton Company. If you treat Mr. Nanxiang's wife to death, once it causes blame from the Japanese customers, it will be a huge loss to our country. "
Lin Sanqi didn't care:
"Two leaders, you should be more optimistic. You should think like this. If our hospital can cure Mrs. Nanxiang's difficult and complicated illness, will the Nichimen Company be more grateful to us and sell us some sensitive equipment?"
Leader Jing thought the same, but leaders are all pessimists:
"Comrade Sanqi, are you sure?"
"Have!"
"Well, the arrow has been put on the string and has to be shot. You have to cheer up."
Half an hour later, Mrs. Nanxiang's car drove directly into the Dongyue Temple through the side door. This Toyota Crown car instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Mrs. Nanxiang was pushed into the X-ray room in a wheelchair by the staff. Under Pan Ye's command, Mrs. Nanxiang lay quietly on a special bed.
Others stood outside the radiation-proof glass window, trying to see what examination the young dean wanted to perform.
After the old lady lay down, Lin Sanqi pushed a strange machine over. It had a large O-shaped machine on top and a movable base underneath.
Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye "stuffed" Mrs. Nanxiang's half body into the O-shaped machine, and they quickly came to the operating room.
Lin Sanqi picked up the microphone and directed the old lady inside:
"Mrs. Nanxiang, please take a deep breath now and hold it~~"
Everyone saw this donut-like machine begin to make a whirring sound, "Okay, now exhale, breathe normally, then hold your breath..."
Ten minutes later, Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye ran back into the filming room and helped the old lady up:
"Mrs. Nanxiang, how do you feel now?"
"Thank you, Mr. Lin. I don't feel unwell. I'll have to trouble you with my condition."
"No trouble, no trouble, Xiao Yezi, you accompany Madam Nanxiang to the air-conditioned area of the laboratory to rest for a while. I will look at the CT scan first."
When Lin Sanqi returned to the crowd again, he was holding a laptop in his hand.
Both Americans and Japanese were stunned. Ultra-thin notebooks are definitely the black technology of this era.
On the contrary, several Chinese leaders did not react much, because they did not know to what extent foreign technology had developed and thought that this type of laptop was already popular abroad.
Just like air conditioning.
After Lin Sanqi connected the CT data, he began to export the films and then started to look them up on the computer.
X-rays are taken vertically, so that part of the human skeleton can be seen.
CT scans are like horizontal slices, so the patterns seen are completely different from those on X-rays. Ordinary people can also make out something on X-rays, such as where a tumor is or where a bone is broken, and it is easy to tell at a glance.
Because CT scans are cross-sectional, people without medical knowledge cannot understand it at all.
So Professor Anthony, Professor Theodore and Professor Yukiki Kokusu, these three top doctors, were all scratching their heads in anxiety at this time.
"Lin, your image is so strange, how do you read the film?"
"Yes, Lin, I don't understand at all. What is this white piece? What are these little dots of white?"
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that it’s right that you don’t understand, today I just want to scare you.
“Professors, please don’t be anxious. Look, this CT scan clearly shows that the lesion near the horizontal fissure in the right upper lobe of the lung has obvious satellite lesions. These are the white spots you see, surrounding a half circle.
Calcification and small cavities can also be seen, and lymph node calcification can be seen at the right hilum. The lesion is adhered to the adjacent pleura, and the liquefied part of the lesion is not enhanced. The adjacent blood vessels are normal in shape without obvious deformation.
This film is very clear, this is an atypical case of tuberculosis, not lung cancer."
Professor An Dongxi and Professor Theodore looked at each other, with shock and confusion in their eyes, because they didn't understand anything.
Professor Xiaoshu Xingshu rolled his eyes:
"Mr. Lin, this seems to be an amazing invention. Is this machine invented in your country? Where else can it be used?"
Lin Sanqi read the film without even looking up and answered:
"Then CT is extremely useful. Ordinary X-rays are mainly used to examine bones, such as fractures. CT, on the other hand, is suitable for examining internal organs and soft tissues, such as the head, chest, abdomen and pelvis.
But you don't need to ask too much, this CT is still in the laboratory confidential stage, if the distinguished Mr. Nanxiang is not here to visit, we will not take it out easily. " Nanxiang Saburo heard it and was overjoyed. He quickly stood up and bowed slightly:
"Mr. Lin, thank you for your friendship. I will keep it in mind. I wonder how my wife's condition is doing?"
Lin Sanqi pointed at the affected area and said seriously, not caring whether others could understand him or not:
"Now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
"Oh, I want to hear the good news first."
"The good news is that Mrs. Nanxiang's disease is most likely not lung cancer, but tuberculosis."
When Nango Saburo heard this, his face was obviously filled with joy.
The Japanese staff members at the back were also extremely excited, with exaggerated expressions and movements. There was nothing they could do since the boss was watching them, so they had to pretend to be excited.
"Lin-san, what's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that Mrs. Nanxiang's health is very bad. She is completely unable to withstand conventional surgery. Because she was sent to the hospital late, part of her lung tissue has already died and needs to be removed as soon as possible. This is the contradiction."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
Nango Saburo looked at Kokusu Yuki.
Doctor Xiaonan also nodded slightly:
"Yes, whether it is lung cancer or tuberculosis, Madam no longer has any indication for surgery. Otherwise, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand a thoracotomy."
When Nango Saburo heard this, his face fell again and he looked at the two American doctors with a pleading look.
Professor Theodore didn't agree with Lin Sanqi's judgment in the first place, and now he was feeling unhappy, so he just waved his hand:
"Don't count on us. Your wife can only take conservative treatment now, so the difference between tuberculosis and lung cancer is actually not very meaningful."
Nango Saburo sat down on the chair, muttering to himself with a sad face:
"Is there really no way out? Is the deadline really here?"
Lin Sanqi then jumped out to sing a different tune:
"Mr. Theodore, who said that identification is meaningless? If it is lung cancer, there is a high probability that there is no need to continue treatment. But now we are facing a case of tuberculosis. If we can cure tuberculosis, how can we let the patient die?
Professor Theodore sneered:
"Lin, I didn't expect you to be such a boaster. Of course, you can also succeed to make me believe that my promise is still valid. If you can cure Mrs. Nanxiang's disease, I will eat all her medical records and films!"
Lin Sanqi will not tolerate these American experts.
Now they need Lin Sanqi's help, not that he is dependent on others, so he should be tougher and act tough:
"Theodore, I think we can change the bet. Let's not make a bet like eating film that is obviously impossible to achieve."
To put it bluntly, film is plastic. How can you eat plastic? Medical records are paper after all. At most, you can boil them and add some ketchup to make them swallowable.
Americans have a spirit of adventure in their genes. Once you mention making a bet, they won't be sleepy anymore.
Professor Theodore suddenly laughed:
"Lin, I accept the bet. Tell me, how do we bet?"
Nanxiang Saburo got angry when he heard this, thinking, is my dear wife's life used to bet with you? Unfortunately, the person in front of him is the American father, an internationally renowned professor, and it is not easy to offend him.
But his position at this time naturally stood on Lin Sanqi's side. Because if Lin Sanqi won, it would mean that his wife would survive.
Lin Sanqi knew that these top American doctors were not short of money, but he was relatively short of money in 1961. After all, so many employees in the hospital depended on him for their livelihood.
"Theodore, how about this? If this patient has lung cancer, I will give you $100 million. If it is tuberculosis, you give me $100 million. How about that?"
hiss~~~
Leader Jing, Leader Cheng, and Minister Li all gasped. One million US dollars was enough to create the richest man in China. In their eyes, this was a sky-high bet.
Nango Saburo was very pleased to hear this, and thought that this young Chinese dean had good vision.
If their bet was only $100, Nanxiang Saburo would be furious. What? Is the life of my Nanxiang family worth just this little money?
Professor Theodore laughed. One million US dollars was certainly a huge sum of money, but it was just a small amount for them.
The key point is that Professor Theodore does not think that his side will lose. He took 100 million US dollars from the Chinese for free. He is happy to see that the Chinese are so poor that they even pawn their pants.
After all, he is a top professor in the United States, and his IQ is definitely not to be underestimated.
Professor Theodore looked at Lin Sanqi suspiciously at this time: "Lin, $100 million? Did I hear that correctly? The question is, I can come up with $100 million, can you come up with it?"
Lin Sanqi was unhappy:
"You're underestimating me, aren't you? Honey, go to the safe in my office. There's a black goose down bag. Go get it and show it to our American friend."
The safe has a password, and it was traveled through time from 2014. No one in this era can open it, and only Lin Sanqi and Pan Ye know the password.
After a while, Pan Ye quickly brought out the black goose down bag.
If it were another woman, she would definitely be so angry that she would twist her husband's ears and scold him, asking if he had a mental problem, a spendthrift, or didn't want to live with her anymore?
But Pan Ye is a good girl who supports her husband unconditionally and without hesitation, no matter what he says.
"Sanqi, give me..."
"My dear, you have worked hard. Go to the side and get some fresh air. Come on, Theodore, let me show you what a Chinese tycoon is. All I need now is a piece of cloth on my head. Humph."
After Lin Sanqi finished speaking, he directly took a fruit plate and poured out the contents of the goose down bag, making a clanging sound.
The Chinese, Americans, and Japanese who were watching all widened their eyes, because there were dozens of large, sparkling diamonds on the plate, each weighing more than 20 carats.
When Leader Jing and Leader Cheng saw each other, they both smiled and said softly:
"This guy has hidden so many diamonds. No wonder he dares to contract a hospital."
Minister Li next to her was also a warlord's wife. As a woman, she had no resistance to such shiny things.
"Oh my god, where did Lin Sanqi get so many diamonds? How much money do they add up to? No wonder he said he doesn't like money, it turns out he is really rich."
Nango Saburo was also secretly surprised at this time. In his mind, China was a poor and backward country. The people of this country could not have their own private property and each one was poorer than the other.
But how could this young dean have so many diamonds? Could it be that he had a mine at home?
The point is, how dare he show off in front of his superiors when he has money? Isn't he afraid that these diamonds will be confiscated?
At the same time, Nango Saburo was also secretly complaining. It seemed that the cost of his wife's surgery would continue to rise. Just a few air conditioners and a few ambulances were far from enough to satisfy the Chinese people's appetite.
Lin Sanqi didn't know that his value had increased again invisibly.
Professor Theodore was doubting his own eyes. He held up a diamond to the sunlight and said:
"Oh my god, diamonds, Lin, where did you get so many diamonds? Whether it's the color, clarity, or cut, they are all world-class. If I had a bag of diamonds like this, the nurses in our hospital would definitely be willing to satisfy all my demands."
As he spoke, Professor Theodore glanced at his partner secretly, and suddenly a bold idea popped up in his mind.
"Lin, I think your bet is too conservative. $100 million, who are you looking down on? Let's increase the stakes. How about $500 million? If I lose, I'll give you $500 million. If you lose, this bag of diamonds will be mine."
Lin Sanqi smiled angrily: "Theodore, this bag of diamonds is worth at least 1000 million US dollars. You actually want to exchange it for 500 million US dollars?"
In fact, in his heart, Lin Sanqi was laughing to death. The Americans were indeed weird, too insidious and too greedy. It was a pity that in the end, he lost both the wife and the army.
Even if Lin Sanqi lost, he would only lose a bag of Henan diamonds, which is only 20,000 yuan in the wholesale market.
Professor Theodore thought it was a $500 million bet on a $1000 million diamond, but in fact the real "exchange rate" was $500 million bet on 2 RMB.
Professor Theodore saw that Lin Sanqi was unmoved, and became anxious, so he directly used the method of provoking him:
"Lin, you are not scared, are you? Are you scared in front of your boss, your wife, and your Japanese guests? Are you afraid? Aren't you confident in your diagnosis?"
Lin Sanqi slammed the table and said angrily: "Okay, I'll bet with you!"
"Comrade Lin Sanqi!!!"
Leader Cheng, Leader Jing, and Minister Li all said in unison, "Stop messing around. Do you still have any sense of organizational discipline?"
At this time, Lin Sanqi seemed like a young fool who was so drunk that he didn't listen to any advice:
"Theodore, I made a bet with you, but in order to prevent one of us from regretting it, I will now give the diamond to Mr. Nanxiang and let the Japanese guest act as the third party."
Nanxiang Sanlang saw that Lin Sanqi was so confident, and for the sake of his wife, he was also ready to support Lin Sanqi:
"Yoshi, I'll be the third party. I guarantee fairness and justice!"
Professor Theodore walked out of the conference room without saying anything else, and came back with a check in his hand:
"Lin, this is a check for $500 million from Citibank. If I lose, the $500 million will belong to you."
Lin Sanqi laughed out loud: "Thank you for the rockets sent from the United States~~~" (End of this chapter)
