A month later, the Provincial Affiliated First Hospital, Outer Department III.

Director Xu Jinlin, Dean Guo Yuanhang, Director Zhu Huoyan, Chen Qi, and many doctors in the research group were all sitting in the conference room, all frowning.

On the table were densely packed with various inspection reports, and halfway through the draft of the paper.

The reason why everyone gathered together was because the paper could not be written.

The other teams have made preliminary research results, but the etiological tracing team has been unable to come up with a final conclusion, even if it is a possible conclusion.

Director Xu touched his chin, and he couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head:

"Ah, this is really strange, all the tests have been done, the tissues around the baby's lungs are normal, there is no invasion of the surrounding organs, even the pleura, chest wall tissue and mediastinal organs of the visceral wall layer are not any problems.

After checking the lymphatic system, the lymphatic vessels around the bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels were repeatedly examined several times, and no other cancer cells were found. A full body examination was also done, and there were no traces of malignant tumors except for the lungs, which is really strange. ”

Chen Qi quipped: "Could it be a cancer sister falling from the sky?" ”

Dean Guo slapped Chen Qi on the head: "Seriously, this is a case discussion, didn't you see so many teachers sitting?" ”

Many of the doctors in the office chuckled.

Everyone already knows that this excessively young president of the grassroots hospital is a junior graduate student in their department in the next three years, and it stands to reason that Chen Qi will call him a teacher one by one.

Even if he is at the department level and has a certain position, he is a little brother in front of the doctors of the First Affiliated Hospital of the province, especially in front of President Guo.

Chen Qi rubbed his hair and said aggrievedly:

"It's really like falling from the sky, otherwise it's hard to explain, saying that he was exposed to some polluting or radioactive substances after birth, but we have already visited the child's home inside and out, and also learned about the surrounding living conditions, this high-risk factor can be ruled out.

The family finally had such a precious grandson, and there was no one who smoked, and the kitchen and bedroom for stir-frying were not in the same place, so the cause of air pollution could also be ruled out. What are the other risk factors? Chronic inflammation?

However, we also checked, and there was no tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, etc., and the only chylothorax was only acquired one month after birth, so the bronchial epithelium metamorphosed into squamous epithelium in the process of chronic infection, and eventually became carcinogenic, this argument is also not valid.

There is another problem, which is more prominent in lung cancer patients, that is, long-term lack of vitamin A, vitamin B, carotene and trace elements in food, etc., the problem is that a baby is only breastfeeding, and it does not involve incomplete nutrition. ”

As soon as Chen Qi's words came out, everyone in the office nodded again and again.

The etiological tracing team is the most complex, led by Chen Qi.

Chen Qi took a group of young doctors from the First Provincial Affiliated Hospital to check this small patient number inside and out, up and down, from head to toe.

All the checks that should be done have been done, all the ways that should be thought of, and some checks have even been repeated many times, but the result still doesn't matter, and the money is spent a lot.

Dean Guo was smoking a cigarette, and he was also puzzled:

"If you can't find out the cause of neonatal lung cancer, then this topic can't be established at all, and you don't even know the cause, how can you convince others? The paper is not authoritative, but one thing is certain, lung cancer cannot be born without a reason. ”

Chen Qi interjected at this time:

"At present, I think there are two possibilities, one is genetic factors, but this involves genetic testing, as far as I know, China has not yet carried out this technology, and the only way to test is to go abroad. The other question is whether lung cancer is contagious. ”

As soon as Chen Qi's words came out, there was laughter in the office.

"How is that possible? How can lung cancer be contagious......"

"That's right, at present, whether it is at home or abroad, there has never been a single case of lung cancer that is contagious, and this hypothesis is not valid......"

"Lung cancer is an abnormal proliferation of human tissues after mutation, which has nothing to do with pathogenic microorganisms and is not an infectious disease......

"If cancer is contagious, it would be terrible, like tuberculosis, then humanity would be doomed......"

Everyone in the office was gossiping, and no one supported Chen Qi's hypothesis, not even Director Xu Jinxing, Teacher Li Baotian, and Dean Guo didn't think so.

Xu Jinxing thought that Chen Qi was joking, but quipped:

"It's amazing, if we can prove that lung cancer is contagious, then we can win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, haha."

Chen Qi touched his nose and laughed a few times a little embarrassed, but he was a little indignant in his heart, why did he veto this doctrine?

Didn't Hu Shi say that he should make bold assumptions and carefully verify them.

There was no result in the plenary meeting of the research group, and when everyone dismissed, Director Xu stopped Chen Qi.

"Chen Qi, this small illness has cost more than 20,000 yuan this month, even if our three hospitals bear a part, but it is not a small amount for the patient's family, and the hospital is so small, it is impossible to reimburse us indefinitely."

In the 80s, whether it was a provincial hospital, a municipal hospital, a county level, or even a health center, every level of hospital was facing a financial problem.

As the president of the Fourth Academy, Chen Qi could not give the green light for his project and occupy all the little scientific research funds.

Blocking people's money is like killing parents, so don't be scolded to death by those old workers in the unit.

Similarly, it is impossible for the People's Hospital and the Provincial First Hospital to reimburse the cost of a subject without restrictions, especially since Chen Qi still whimsically wants to do genetic testing, and he has to go abroad to do the test.

Good guys, this is not tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is not something that the research group can afford at all.

Chen Qi was also a little embarrassed: "It's already spent so much?" ”

He just wanted to blurt out that he should either bear this part of the cost himself, but when he thought of what he looked like when he was forced to donate by the people, he immediately denied this decision in his heart.

But the question of money is always to be solved.

The main reason is that if the source of the child's cancer cells is not clear, it is 100% that the cancer will recur, and the Yuezhong lacks the necessary examination equipment, so I don't know that it has recurred.

Cancer, the focus is on early detection and early treatment, and if you really wait until the middle and late stages, it will be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, which is of little significance.

At this point, Chen Qi felt sorry for the child's father and the trust of his relatives.

Otherwise, whose child would dare to let the doctor do experiments and go through a lot of examinations? The inspection process is not a playground fun, it is painful.

"Director Xu, leave the money problem to me, I'll make a few calls to see if there are any stupid foreigners who are interested in this topic."

The first thing that came to Chen Qi's mind was his sponsor, Bennipro Medical Devices.

Pharmaceutical giants are all big dogs, and there are quite a lot of doctors sponsored, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, which is like a drizzle for them. Maybe he was able to sponsor this neonatal lung cancer project like Ken Hashimoto did?

Chen Qi wants to contact the local side, writing the letter is too slow, and it is possible to send it abroad in two or three months. I can't say it clearly when I take a telegram, and I can only send a "father dies and returns quickly" at most.

So he decided to hang up an international call.

In the 80s, there was only one place to make international calls, and that was the local post and telecommunications office.

The post and telecommunications office of the provincial capital is on Yan'an Road, not far from the first affiliated hospital, and it is within walking distance.

In this year, the city scale of West Lake City is still relatively small, the road is not wide, people come and go very densely, and the spring clothes worn by pedestrians are obviously beginning to be colorful, especially for girls, all kinds of beautiful styles have come out.

Many exquisite girls are also permed, high and fluffy, and look very fashionable.

However, Chen Qi doesn't like this hairstyle, he likes Lan Lijuan like this, a simple ponytail, which looks simple and clean.

Chen Qi's hand was in his trouser pocket, while shopping, while looking at the beautiful women, he walked towards the post and telecommunications office, a rare time to relax.

He knew that there would be long queues to make long-distance calls, but he didn't expect that there were so many people making international calls.

When he saw the long queue in front of the counter on the second floor, he was startled, and quickly ran to the counter to get a number, and then filled in the international number and the name of the person he needed to find.

Yes, you don't need to dial the number yourself to make international calls these days, and you need to be reviewed by the Post and Telecommunications Bureau before you can be connected.

Since there was a queue, he didn't know how long it would take for the person who was calling in front of him, so Chen Qi took out the information in his bag and continued to study, but at this time, the crowd suddenly stirred.

On the counter not far away, two middle-aged men fought, and the people around them were also pointing.

This is quite rare in West Lake City, which advocates gentlemen who do not move their mouths.

"Look at the one in the suit, the quality is really poor! ~~”

"It's just, everyone is queuing, just he's special? ~~”

"Oh~~Oh~~Kill someone, kill someone~~~~"

Not long after the fight, the security guards of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau also rushed out and separated the two.

The middle-aged man in the suit was still scolding:

"You sixty-two, you don't look at who your uncle is, what's wrong with your uncle jumping in line in a hurry? Shame on the face! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a boo next to him: "Is it reasonable to cut in line?" ”

"That is, the quality is really poor, what kind of international calls do you make? Shame on us Chinese! ”

In addition, a man in a wallet who was fighting was not to be outdone:

"I don't care which bug you are, you can't stick it in front of me anyway, either you line up or you want to call today!"

Quarreling and arguing, the two were about to twist together again and start fighting.

Chen Qi watched a free farce with relish, and seeing that the two were separated and couldn't fight, he was ready to look down at his information again.

Suddenly, he raised his head again, and his eyes looked at the man in the suit who was scolding his mother.

The more you look at this man, the more wrong it becomes.

I saw that the right cheek of his face was red, not the kind of redness that he was excited after the quarrel, but a sickly one, similar to the plateau red.

There are also drooping eyelids, inverted eyeballs, and asymmetrical left and right eyes, which looks a little weird.

Chen Qi had a bad guess in his heart, so he walked up to the man in the suit, and when he looked closely, he could see that the skin around the man's mouth and nose was slightly darkened.

This confirmed Chen Qi's guess.

The man in the suit was not convinced, and suddenly found a young man staring at him, and his heart suddenly hairy, thinking that he could be a pervert?

"Hey, what are you looking at? Lao Tzu is not a woman, what is there to see. ”

Chen Qi realized something, so he took out his work card and shook it, "Oh, I'm a doctor, I found that something is wrong with you." ”

The man in the suit was full of question marks, I had heard that the fortune teller would suddenly run out and say that you would have a bloody disaster to cheat money recently, and this was the first time that a doctor ran out and said that something was wrong with him.

It was also strange that there was a large crowd of people around to see the excitement.

I didn't expect that there would be a second scene for this good show, and a doctor jumped out again, and I didn't know what I wanted to do, so my eyes were cast on it.

Chen Qi asked, "Have you been coughing a lot lately?" ”

Although the man in the suit was reluctant, when he thought that this young man was a doctor, he answered honestly:

"I smoke, and I usually have an itchy throat, of course I will cough a few times, but I don't cough much."

"When you cough, did you cough up phlegm? Or blood in the sputum? ”

"Nope!"

Chen Qi was choked, why is there nothing?

"Do you have any chest pain?"

The man in the suit unconsciously touched his chest, pressed it a few times, and then shook his head:

"I don't think I feel that way, but I may have been smoking for a long time, and my voice is hoarse from time to time, and sometimes it's good to take some medicine, doctor, what the hell do you want to say?" What disease do I have? ”

Chen Qi patted the man in the suit on the shoulder, come, come to the bright light, I will look at your Tong Kong.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I can see the problem at a glance, the right child hole is obviously smaller, and it is asymmetrical with the left eye.

Chen Qi didn't know how to speak, he was afraid of being beaten to tell the truth, but if he didn't say it, it would also violate medical ethics, and he would not be saved when he died.

"This comrade, I suggest that you better go to the First Affiliated Hospital of the Provincial Province to have a check-up, their hospital has the only CT machine in Haidong Province, you had better do a chest CT."

"West kick? What is West Kick? If you don't understand, the doctor will tell me what's wrong. ”

The man in the suit was obviously a little impatient.

The surrounding crowd is not afraid of big things when they watch the excitement, so they are also coaxing:

"Tell me, what's wrong with this guy?"

Chen Qi was a little embarrassed, after all, this was just his guess, in case he guessed wrong, it is estimated that this man in a suit will have a second fight today:

"This comrade, don't be angry when I say it, I see that the skin on the right side of your face is flushed, the right eyelid is drooping, the hole is narrowed, the eyeball is inverted, and your voice is hoarse from time to time, so I suspect that you may have ......

Lung cancer. ”
