After being fired, I became the light of medicine

Chapter 237: Ordinary man who is forever grateful to him.

"Sit down, sit down, don't be nervous, I'm just stopping by to check on the situation."

Zhang Yang smiled and asked Lao Xia to sit down, but Lao Xia didn't dare to sit down.

Zhang Yang stopped trying to persuade her, his eyes fell on Xia Xue, and he smiled:
"Xia Xue, right? How is it? I've been taking the medicine for a week. How do you feel?"

Xia Xue was originally lying quietly on the bed, but after hearing Director Hu's introduction, she hurriedly sat up.

At this moment, looking at the legendary Qingshan Pharmaceutical boss Mr. Zhang asking himself with a smile, he suddenly felt unbelievable.

After being stunned for several seconds, she finally reacted and stammered nervously:

"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang, I feel pretty good. Pretty good."

Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face, nodded, and continued:

"Are there any adverse reactions? Are there any discomforts?"

"Maybe not."

Xia Xue shook her head dumbly. At this moment, Old Xia beside her finally calmed down and quickly took over the conversation:
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for your concern."

"We originally thought that after injecting this drug, she would vomit, suffer from edema, and lose her hair, just like chemotherapy. Unexpectedly, Xia Xue not only did not vomit or suffer from edema in the past few days, but her complexion has improved and her appetite is much better than before!"

"Just now he was nagging me to buy a portion of braised rabbit for lunch, saying he hadn't eaten rabbit for a long time and was craving it. His appetite... He doesn't look like a sick person at all. He even has a better appetite than me."

Zhang Yang laughed, and Director Hu and Wei Tian beside him couldn't help but smile as well.

Having an appetite proves that the body's functions are slowly returning to normal, which is a good thing.

Old Xia's simple words relaxed the atmosphere in the ward, and then he continued:
"It's just that... Mr. Zhang, we only get an injection once a week now, and I always feel like I'm missing something every day..."

"It feels like not taking medicine every day, and I feel suffocated and uneasy."

Zhang Yang suddenly thought of the discussion on the development of "Ibetumumab" oral tablets in the company just now.

Indeed, oral tablets are not only more convenient, but taking them daily can also give patients the greatest psychological comfort.

It’s just that for now, “Ibetumumab” is only available as a once-weekly injection.

He explained:

"You are the patient's father, right? This 'ibumab' is only available as an injection, and it only needs to be injected once a week."

"Don't worry, the drug's effect will definitely last for a week in the patient's body."

He paused and continued:
"And judging from your daughter's feedback, there are currently no obvious side effects or adverse reactions, which shows that her affinity and responsiveness to the drug are still very high."

"According to the summary of thousands of animal experiments in our laboratory, many animal carriers will experience diarrhea, fever and other symptoms after taking the drug, and in severe cases, they may even bleed."

"In short, your daughter's current condition is very ideal, even better than the laboratory data. If she continues to receive treatment, the leukemia cells in her body should be effectively killed."

Zhang Yang's words suddenly made Lao Xia excited. As the boss of Qingshan Pharmaceutical, Zhang Yang naturally knew the real experimental effect of "Ibeumab" better than anyone else.

Xia Xue, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly had a bright look in her eyes and was extremely excited!
The way to protect women,

"Then... Mr. Zhang! Is there still hope that I can be completely cured of leukemia?"

The sudden words made Zhang Yang slightly stunned.

Director Hu and Wei Tian at the side were also stunned for a moment. They both knew very well that the best animal test data of "Ibetuzumab" could only achieve 80% of the therapeutic effect. It would be good if this therapeutic effect could be maintained in human clinical trials.

Completely cured?

Obviously impossible.

Director Hu clearly sensed a hint of awkwardness in the air, and coughed lightly to help Zhang Yang out. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang did not shy away from the question, and looked at Xia Xue and said bluntly:
"Sister, to be honest, this drug cannot completely cure leukemia at present."

"However... according to the animal data in our laboratory, after long-term treatment, there is about a one in a thousand chance of achieving a cure."

"Of course, I don't know whether this one in a thousand probability can be achieved on the human body!"

thousandth!

The excitement in Xia Xue's eyes instantly dissipated. At this moment, Old Xia beside her also reacted and felt a hint of embarrassment. He quickly apologized:

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, my daughter is not very good at speaking and may have offended you!"

"In fact, as long as this drug can control the condition of leukemia, we will be very satisfied!"

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said he didn't care. There was nothing to care about.

This is the fact now. "Ivacuzumab" can only control leukemia at best, but cannot completely cure it.

In the following time, he did not continue this topic. After chatting with Xia Xue and Lao Xia for a while, he learned more about the current clinical trial situation of Xia Xue after taking the medicine.

As the time quietly approached 12:20 noon, Zhang Yang decided to call it a day.

"Director, I have almost understood the situation. It is getting late. The patient and his family also need to have lunch. Let's end it here today."

"it is good!"

Director Hu nodded repeatedly, and Old Xia also respectfully prepared to send Zhang Yang to the door.

However, just as Zhang Yang was about to leave, he still noticed a hint of loss hidden deep in Xia Xue's eyes, and thought of the question Xia Xue had just asked.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Yang stopped and looked at Xia Xue:

"Sister, let me now answer your question about whether leukemia can be cured."

"Although our 'Ivolumab' cannot completely cure leukemia at present, we have been continuously developing drugs that can completely cure leukemia internally and have never given up!"

"So, don't give up! Get treatment well, live well, and give us some time!"

"I believe that within ten years, we will have a chance to completely cure leukemia."

Xia Xue's somewhat dim eyes suddenly brightened up again. At this moment, a clear child's voice suddenly came from the small ward.

"Dad, is what this uncle said true?"

"Can my disease really be cured? Will I no longer need IV drips or medications?"

Zhang Yang was stunned, and then he noticed that there was a little boy lying on the other bed in this double room.

He subconsciously glanced at the bedside card on the little boy's bed.

Zhang Lele, eight years old, has acute myeloid leukemia.

Only eight years old!

The next second, looking at the little boy's confused eyes, he showed a bright smile on his face again and nodded heavily!
……

Five minutes later, Director Hu personally sent Zhang Yang to the downstairs of the inpatient building.

He tried his best to persuade Zhang Yang to have a quick meal in the hospital cafeteria, but Zhang Yang refused. He knew that Director Hu was very busy with work recently and there was no need to bother with such a small matter as a meal.

Only Zhang Yang and Wei Tian were left downstairs in the inpatient department.

"Boss, are you really confident that leukemia can be completely cured within ten years?"

There was no one around, so Wei Tian didn't hesitate and asked.

Zhang Yang stopped and shook his head:
"There is no certainty. We all know how difficult it is to completely conquer leukemia."

"But... did you see the look in that young girl's eyes just now? And that eight-year-old boy..." "We should at least give patients more confidence, right?"

Wei Tian was silent.

Indeed, the young girl is only 26 years old and the little boy is only 8 years old. Do they have to take medicine for the rest of their lives?
How long to take?
Thirty years?
Forty years?
Fifty years?
Or sixty years?!

"Moreover, we are not just talking about it. We have indeed been developing drugs that can completely cure leukemia. Although the efforts may not necessarily lead to good results, there is hope after all."

Wei Tian exhaled lightly and nodded:

"Yes, as long as we keep doing it, there is always hope!"

As he spoke, Wei Tian suddenly laughed and changed the subject:
"Boss, it's already 12:30 pm. Are you hungry? It will take us about half an hour to get back to the company. How about I buy you some biscuits or bread to fill your stomach first?"

Just as he finished speaking, Zhang Yang's stomach started to growl.

He laughed, and the heaviness in his heart was relieved. He smiled and said:
"Forget it, I won't go back to the company for lunch today!"

"I remember there are a few good restaurants around the hospital. Let's eat out nearby at noon today and have a good meal."

Wei Tian was stunned, then smiled and said:
"That's okay too!"

"Boss, then let's not drive yet. Let's go outside the hospital and eat before going back."

"it is good."

……

It's half past twelve in the afternoon, time for lunch.

There is a constant stream of people at the gate of Chengdu Third People's Hospital, with countless patients, fellow patients and their families coming in and out.

The road near the gate was filled with vendors pushing tricycles and hawking their wares. The restaurants and shops along the street were also shouting to passers-by, making the scene very lively.

Lao Li and Lao Ding were standing at a street corner not far from the hospital gate, each holding a sign with white letters on a red background.

They don't run a restaurant business, but whenever they see someone passing by with luggage, they will habitually ask:
"Want to stay? The room is just 50 meters away, a regular hotel, cheap!"

That's right,

Lao Li and Lao Ding are the most common hotel solicitors outside hospitals and train stations.

After asking several passers-by who were in a hurry, Lao Li shook his head and refused every time.

He was used to such scenes, but seeing Lao Ding next to him put away his sign and stand under a big tree smoking, he simply stopped shouting temporarily and walked over.

He lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"Old Ding, what's going on? How many rooms do you have left?" asked Old Li.

"How many rooms? There's only one room left. I estimate someone will reserve it in half an hour at most! What about you, Lao Li?"

"Me? Same here, there's only one room left!"

As he spoke, Lao Li took a deep puff of his cigarette and said:
"It's only 12:30 pm and the hotels we are responsible for are all fully booked. This is impossible under normal circumstances."

"This is really thanks to Qingshan Pharmaceutical!"

Tsingshan Pharmaceutical?

stay?

The inexplicable words did not cause Old Ding to refute. Instead, he shook off the cigarette ash and agreed:
"Yes, there have been significantly more people coming to the hospital in the past three or four days, and more people needing accommodation."

"Old Li, I heard that Qingshan Pharmaceutical has developed a drug that can treat 'acute leukemia', so these days leukemia patients from all over the country have flocked to Sanren Hospital, all wanting to sign up to use this drug!"

"If this is true, then Qingshan Pharmaceutical is truly powerful! Leukemia is a terminal illness!"

Old Li hummed, and suddenly sighed with emotion:
"Yeah, it's true."

"Several of my guests who stayed here these days came from outside the province. They all said they came here after seeing the news about Qingshan Pharmaceutical's new drug. Now they should be saved!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch his waist.

Mr. Li just turned 50 this year. In fact, four years ago, he also participated in a clinical trial of innovative drugs organized by Tsingshan Pharmaceutical.

Four years ago, he was diagnosed with IGA nephropathy. When it was discovered, he was already in stage three of kidney disease, and was only one step away from stage four of kidney disease and renal failure and uremia.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the patient participated in the clinical trial of the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle". Finally, the "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle" allowed the kidneys to get enough rest and stabilized the condition.

Until now, he still injects "Kidney Toxin Clearing Dialysis Needle" once a week. He knows very well that the reason he can still engage in the business of soliciting customers and live and work like a normal person is entirely because of Qingshan Pharmaceutical.

Thinking of this, he exhaled heavily and gradually gathered his thoughts.

"Okay, Lao Ding, we've finished smoking, and it's time to get down to business."

"I only have one room left to be vacant. I'd better finish it early and leave work early."

"it is good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li looked up and suddenly saw a familiar figure hurriedly passing by.

He felt that the man looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was for a moment. He looked at him with puzzled eyes as he walked to a restaurant a hundred meters away.

"Lao Li, what are you looking at?"

"Hiss! I remember! I remember who it is!"

Old Li suddenly became excited. Without bothering to explain to Old Ding, he ran quickly towards the restaurant the man had just walked into.

He carefully observed at the door, and after confirming that everything was correct, he walked into the restaurant with a nervous look.

When he saw the familiar yet unfamiliar face up close, his heart seemed to jump out, and he quietly went to the kitchen to find the boss.

"Boss, how much is table 5? I'll pay!"

"You paid?!"

"Well, don't make it public, that man is my friend, just settle the score!"

"A total of 126 yuan. Hey, I think I know you. Aren't you a hotelier around here? Why are you so generous?"

Old Li chuckled, glanced secretly at the man at table 5, and a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on his face.

"It is my blessing that I can treat him to a meal!"

"what?"

The boss was obviously a little surprised. At this moment, Lao Li saw the man at table 5 seemed to be looking over here, and hurriedly said:
"That's it, boss. I'm leaving now. If they ask who paid for it later, just say you're just an ordinary person who will be forever grateful to him!"

After saying that, Lao Li walked out of the restaurant quickly.

At the door, he stopped and bowed deeply toward the restaurant:
"Mr. Zhang, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

At this time, Lao Ding behind him finally rushed over:

"Lao Li, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come here? Haven't you eaten yet?"

"It's alright, Lao Ding, let's get to work! I'm so happy today! So happy!"
