Chapter 312 Doctor Yu, I Was Wrong
From a private room in the restaurant on the third floor of the hotel, Yu Zhiming, He Yingjun, Ding Ye and others had half a day to relax, and they had delicious food to accompany them. They talked loudly and were in high spirits.
They talked about the ongoing rectification campaign in the hospital, which was triggered by the arrest of Lu Pengyu from the facial features department.
He Yingjun, who was the best informed, told them that the rectification movement was quite effective.
There are more than ten people who have been reported and exposed, and who have taken the initiative to confess their problems, and have been verified by the hospital to have serious problems.
This made the hospital leaders very angry, and they were ready to ask the disciplinary inspection department of the National Health Commission to intervene and conduct an in-depth investigation.
"The trees are big and have dead branches. With so many people in our hospital, it is normal for some crooked melons and cracked dates to appear."
Ding Ye sighed and couldn't help but ask: "But taking the initiative to ask the superior disciplinary inspection department to intervene, is this exposing family scandal?"
He Yingjun sighed softly and said, "Our rectification activities have gained a lot of momentum, and we definitely can't hide it."
"It's better to be more open and proactive and let the superior disciplinary inspection team intervene."
Speaking of this, He Yingjun chuckled again and said: "Yesterday, a shocking news broke out in our medical system, which is enough to keep our hospital away from the center of discussion."
"Secretary He, what kind of big melon is this?" the beautiful doctor on the side asked quickly.
He Yingjun said mysteriously that this matter has been spread among the upper echelons of the medical circle, but it is still in the confidentiality stage.
"To put it simply, a rich guy suffered from severe heart failure and was waiting for a heart transplant but failed."
"That guy was not willing to wait for death, which triggered a series of cases."
He Yingjun also revealed: "A certain heart transplant expert from the first hospital in the city has been taken away by the police for investigation."
This news made several young doctors exclaim in surprise.
"It's actually one of the four major hospitals?! No way? How could they be involved in such an incident?"
"Back then, I almost entered the city!"
He Yingjun said with a meaningful expression: "Let me tell you again, the guy with heart failure died of the sequelae caused by heart failure on the day the case was exposed."
"It was such a coincidence that he died. It's hard to say whether he died out of despair, died on his own initiative, or had to die."
This was the first time Yu Zhiming had heard of this news.
However, he guessed that it may not be a conspiracy theory, and the possibility of death from fright is still quite high.
After all, in the end stage of heart failure, the body is at the end of its strength. Under the stimulation of the exposed incident, it is normal for it to be unable to survive.
Ding Ye asked excitedly: "When such a case occurs in the city, the leadership will definitely be shaken, right?"
He Yingjun nodded and said: "You must bear the responsibility for poor leadership. It's a pity. Shiyi's development in the past few years is quite good."
"One case ruins all efforts."
Ding Ye asked casually: "Secretary He, is it possible that some of the leaders of our hospital will be transferred?"
He Yingjun shook his head and said: "The possibility is extremely small. We just completed the adjustment of leading cadres last month..."
They chatted wildly while eating at the table, and the topic unconsciously turned to working hard to make a lot of money.
Zhang Pei, a handsome guy from the Department of Hematology, said with a sigh on his face: "Money is life, this is the naked reality."
"Last Thursday, a 12-year-old boy we admitted passed away because leukemia treatment failed."
"The ten-year-old girl in the same ward as him has her condition under control because she received CAR-T treatment."
Ding Ye raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "CAR-T treatment? The one with 1.2 million shots?"
Zhang Pei nodded and said: "The price is really expensive, but if the treatment is right, the treatment effect is really great."
This so-called CAR-T treatment is called an anti-cancer miracle drug, but because of the high price of 1.2 million per injection, it has been hyped on the Internet for a while.
Yu Zhiming also knows this treatment method.
He also knows that the hype on the Internet is actually driven by relevant interest groups.
To be precise, these 1.2 million shots are not medicines, but just a personalized and customized cellular immunotherapy.
Abbreviated as CAR-T therapy, that is, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy.
This treatment method requires immune T cells to be extracted from the patient.
Then, genetic engineering technology is used to modify the T cells so that they are equipped with tumor chimeric antigen receptors, or CARs, that specifically recognize cancer cells.
In layman's terms, it is like a missile equipped with a high-precision navigator, so that T cells can efficiently identify tumor cells in the patient's body and attack them.
These modified CAR-T cells are then cultured in large quantities in the laboratory.
Afterwards, the expanded "boosted" immune T cells are infused back into the patient's body.
Once these cells encounter tumor cells expressing corresponding antigens in the patient's body, they will be activated and re-amplified, killing cancer cells crazily through the immune killing mechanism, thereby achieving the effect of curing or relieving the tumor.
Although this CAR-T cell therapy has powerful efficacy, its scope of indications is still limited.
This treatment method has good therapeutic effects on patients with blood system diseases, including leukemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.
However, the therapeutic effect on solid tumors, such as gastric cancer, liver cancer, intestinal cancer, etc., is quite limited.
Also, not all patients who receive CAR-T therapy can be completely cured of their cancer.
There is still a large proportion of patients who receive this therapy who face the risk of relapse after treatment.
In addition, this treatment method, in addition to being expensive, has many toxic and dangerous side effects, including cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, tumor lysis syndrome, etc.
Among them, cytokine storm often manifests as high fever, hypotension, shock, etc., with an incidence rate of more than 60% to 70%.
Nervous system toxicity often manifests as cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, epilepsy, altered state of consciousness, etc. The mechanism of its occurrence is currently unclear.
From time to time, there are reports abroad of patients dying due to neurotoxicity caused by CAR-T treatment...
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Pei who was speaking, and heard him say sincerely: "We are all looking forward to the early breakthrough of the very early stage cancer project led by you."
"If we can develop a screening method for very early cancer, it would be great news for patients."
"This is equivalent to cancer being conquered."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and said, "I am also very much looking forward to this day coming as early as possible..."
In the ensuing chat, someone carefully mentioned the welfare physical examination, excluding the young doctors.
Also, many doctors’ family members are out of town, so it is very inconvenient to come to Huashan Hospital for physical examination.
He Yingjun said calmly: "According to the current statistics on the number of physical examinations, it will be a year and a half later."
"The number of people undergoing physical examination cannot be increased any more."
After a moment of pause, he continued to remind: "As for your parents who are out of town, just find a way to overcome it yourself."
"Anyway, the person who was scheduled for the physical examination did not arrive. No matter what the reason is, he will not be replaced."
"You may not know yet how many enterprises, institutions, and government departments came to contact Dr. Yu about medical examinations, but in the end they were blocked by the hospital leaders."
He Yingjun took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Please cherish this opportunity for a physical examination."
"Next time we ask Dr. Yu to take action, it will definitely not be so easy."
Everyone here knows that asking Yu Zhiming to take action next time may require a lot of favors.
Moreover, it may not be possible to invite him.
Furthermore, physical examination is not a once-and-for-all. It is best to have a physical examination once a year.
It is conceivable that in the next few decades, for the health of himself and his family, as long as Yu Zhiming is still able to work, he will definitely be the number one favorite of Huashan Hospital.
Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to Yu Zhiming will definitely be attacked by everyone in the hospital.
At that moment, everyone sitting here looked at Yu Zhiming with much more eager eyes...
A little before noon, Yu Zhiming checked out nearly two thousand. The group finished lunch and left the restaurant.
When they took the elevator, they unexpectedly met Director He and a friend of the other party.
Director He smelled of alcohol, his face was yellowish, and he snorted softly in his nose. He and his friends stood clearly on the other side of the elevator room, ignoring Yu Zhiming and the others.
Ding Ye rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Doctor Yu, two people from that advertising shooting team came to you for a physical examination because of stomachache. What disease did they find out in the end?"
Zhang Pei cooperated and said: "I know, I heard it. One is gallbladder stones and the other is pancreatitis."
Ding Ye continued: "Besides gallstones and pancreatic inflammation, what other diseases are mistaken for stomach pain?"
Zhang Pei glanced at Director He and found that his right hand was unconsciously touching the left upper abdomen.
Noticing that this guy's face was a little yellowish, Zhang Pei said in a frightened manner: "There is also a tumor in the left lobe of the liver."
"This tumor in the left lobe of the liver is liver cancer. Its attacks are often mistaken for stomach pain."
"The typical symptoms are similar to stomach pain, upper abdominal fullness, and physical weakness. The most obvious symptom is jaundice."
"That means your face turns yellow."
Ding Ye looked at Director He and said pointedly: "Someone's complexion is yellow, which is a bit abnormal."
As he spoke, the elevator reached the first floor.
Yu Zhiming noticed that Director He was looking at his face with an ugly expression facing the mirror-like wall of the elevator. He suppressed his laughter and got out of the elevator first.
He waited for Ding Ye and Zhang Pei to catch up and said softly: "There is no need to scare him. Although his complexion is yellowish, it is not at the level of jaundice."
Ding Ye hummed: "He bullies us in terms of acting, so naturally we can scare him in terms of medicine."
"For someone like him, who drinks and stays up late, his liver will definitely not be much better..."
The few of them walked back to the hospital while talking and laughing.
Ten minutes later, just as they were about to return to the hospital, Director He caught up with them.
"Doctor Yu..."
Director He said with a sneer on his face: "It was my fault this morning. I was nitpicking. I apologize to you."
"Next time I shoot, I will definitely correct my attitude and guide the performance seriously and responsibly. Please give me a chance to make corrections."
Ding Ye teased: "What you want most is for Dr. Yu to check your body, right?"
Director He smiled awkwardly and said, "Dr. Yu, my child is only over one year old and has just learned to call daddy."
"me……"
Director He suppressed his face and flushed, and suddenly gave Yu Zhiming a ninety-degree bow.
"Dr. Yu, I was wrong."
"My son is still young and he can't live without me."
It is said that a man has gold at his knees. Seeing a middle-aged man unable to bow to him, Yu Zhiming was a little sad.
He asked Director He to get up, took him to the hospital, and gave him a simple physical examination.
Liver, not a big problem, some alcoholic liver disease.
The stomach does have inflammation problems.
But the culprit causing his similar stomach pain is myocardial ischemia...
