Chapter 431: Cherish the People Around You - Engaged?

"What's wrong with art students, art students are also human beings."

Hearing Xu Manni's words, Xu Hongdou said with some dissatisfaction.

Xu Manni is a medical student, it can be said that she is half liberal arts and half engineering, and Xu Hongdou is a proper art student, Xu Manni mentioned this matter in front of Xu Hongdou.

It's like what happened to an art student.

"I didn't say how art students are, why are you still in a hurry?"

Seeing Xu Hongdou like this, Xu Manni smiled and said.

"Brother-in-law, you haven't eaten in the past two days since you went to Africa, do you want to go out for some supper now?"

Xu Hongdou ignored Xu Manni, but said to Zhao Heng.

Compared to her lying flat at home, Zhao Heng had to risk his life to go to Africa for medical support or something, Xu Hongdou was a little moved in his heart.

What is said in that sentence, how can there be any quiet years, but someone is carrying the weight for you.

"I think you want to eat it yourself."

Xu Manni said with a smile.

"Okay, it's going to be a bit sleepless anyway."

Zhao Heng said that after returning from Africa, Zhao Heng was indeed restless, and it stands to reason that he should be glad that he came back after going for two days without anything.

But the genetic modification-related skills picked up from Dr. William made Zhao Heng's heart hang all the time.

Before, he saw the syphilis human experiments conducted by the United States, and he thought it was fabricated, but now he is somewhat convinced that it is true.

The first time that Chinese people learned about the word syphilis on a large scale was when they were advertised on roadside telephone poles, when the "ancestral old doctors" who roamed the rivers and lakes harvested leeks with inferior ink and paper, and deceived those unspeakable men into bankruptcy.

Confirm the address of the patient: don't go wrong, go to work as usual on holidays, receive patients day and night, and keep the patient's confidentiality!

Oh, it's the little advertisement for the telephone pole above.

Before the invention of penicillin, syphilis was an incurable disease, Beethoven, Lincoln, Van Gogh, Columbus, Nietzsche, Maupassant.

Many well-known celebrities are syphilis patients.

Humanity struggled with syphilis for five centuries before finally finding a way to defeat syphilis.

However, it is absolutely unimaginable that the United States, which has the most abundant medical resources in the world, actually carried out a medical trial that lasted for 40 years, deceiving nearly 400 black people infected with syphilis, these black people, who did not receive any treatment, lived and worked normally, and even got married and had children, let them endure the torture of the virus, and continue to transmit the virus to their wives.

It all started in the 20s of the last century, when Norwegian doctors summarized the course of syphilis in hundreds of white men who suffered from syphilis, filling a gap in syphilis medical research, but this research result is considered a retrospective study, and there should be prospective studies for a disease.

Retrospective research and prospective research are both medical terms, and in layman's terms, the so-called retrospective research is to summarize the diseases that have occurred and extract the common essence from them.

Prospective research, on the other hand, is that medical workers design the prerequisites, observe the trend of the disease, and judge whether it is developing in the direction of the assumption.

The Norwegians conducted a retrospective study of syphilis, and the people of the United States wanted to complete the prospective study, so in 1932, the National Public Health Bureau appointed Dr. Toliver and Clark to conduct the study.

Dr. Clark originally envisioned a research protocol for a follow-up view

Some black people who have syphilis and have not been treated are examined and treated effectively after 6 to 9 months of observation and experimentation.

Clark partnered with Tuskegee University, a predominantly black university in Alabama, to recruit 600 black men who participated in the trial, 399 of whom had syphilis and 201 who were not infected, as a control group.

It stands to reason that there was nothing wrong with the setting of this medical experiment, but Clark soon found that his idea was completely off track from the beginning, and the National Public Health Bureau did not intend to give these blacks any treatment at all, but intended to leave them to fend for themselves, and through various testing methods, to understand the entire process of syphilis, that is, to conduct inhumane live virus tests on these black people.

When Dr. Clark learned that the trial was going to be a long time going on, he quit his job and was replaced by Dr. Raymond von Dr. Klecker.

Dr. von Dele lied to the black people who participated in the trial, claiming that they all had "scurvy" and not syphilis, making them think that the trial was a special free treatment.

However, the so-called treatment did not exist, neither the patients nor the control group members received any effective medication, and von Dele and his team gave these people placebos that did not work.

In addition to regular blood tests, the participants also had to undergo lumbar puncture to collect bone marrow, and the whole process of the trial was very painful.

In order to persuade the blacks to participate in the experiment, the Tuskegee offered them small favors, such as reimbursement of the cost of each trip, lunch on the day, etc., which, although very small, were still very attractive to poor blacks in the thirties of the Great Depression.

Of course, the price paid by these blacks was enormous, not only did they sacrifice their right to health, but they even gave their own deaths to Tuskegee things, and the trial agreement they signed even stated that after their deaths, the bodies would also be handed over to Tuskegee University for medical research.

The reason why these blacks accepted this experiment is, in the final analysis, they came for the word "treatment", they thought they were receiving treatment until they died, but what they didn't know was that they didn't get any treatment at all, and Von Dele and Tuskegee University simply let them suffer from syphilis and never intervene in any way.

To make matters worse, by 1936, penicillin had been shown to be effective in treating syphilis, but Von Deler and Tuskegee University were still deceiving sick blacks by not giving them penicillin, and still tormenting them with so-called "free treatments" that had no cure.

Another important reason why these blacks willingly accepted the experiment was that there was a black female nurse named Eunice Rivers at John Andrew Hospital affiliated with Tuskegee University at the time.

Nurse Rivers can be called a "black girl", she is the link between the blacks who are being tested and the trial team, with black skin and unique affinity, black patients have great trust in Rivers, Tuskegee University's benefits to these blacks are also distributed through Nurse Rivers, Rivers participated in the entire trial project from beginning to end, and personally sent those who had the same skin color as themselves to the end of the road.

We all know that syphilis is not only a cause of great suffering to patients, but it is also an infectious disease.

But von Deler, Rivers, and Tuskegee University participants never stopped the spread of syphilis, never alerting the blacks to the contagious disease, but allowing them to marry and have children, and syphilis was transmitted to their partners and children.

The experiment, which lasted from 1932 to 1972, lasted for 40 years.

In this experiment, black people were not treated as human beings at all, and directly used living people for virus experiments.

Although in 1972, the inside story of the experiment was poked by the media, but it was not until 25 years later, in 1997, that the then president of the United States, Clinton, apologized for it.

This is the most typical hell is empty, and the demons are on earth!

After a while, Zhao Heng, Xu Manni and Xu Hongdou came to a teppanyaki shop in the business district at the entrance of No. 1 Courtyard in Beishi.

This shop, the main focus is luxury buffet, 598 yuan per person.

found a box to sit down, and Xu Hongdou began to order with great interest.

"This salmon belly, sea urchin, bluefin tuna, sweet shrimp and peony shrimp, as well as this pan-fried silver cod, almond tofu, arctic shellfish, matsutake seafood teapot soup, millet sea cucumber, crayfish, caviar, pan-fried hairtail with rice, and Yomberia ham."

"That's all, three first."

Xu Hongdou handed the menu to the waiter, and the young lady said.

"Beauty, you've ever seen the best at ordering food at this restaurant, and you've ordered all the signature dishes we ordered."

The young lady smiled and said, in fact, eating this kind of high-end buffet, many people are not very good at ordering, which gives the waiter in charge of ordering a lot of space, that is, to recommend some dishes that look delicious and expensive to guests, but the cost is not high at all.

As for being like Xu Hongdou, who came directly to order food, the waiter lady is rarely seen except for professional gourmets.

"Alright, let's serve the food, we'll order it after we've eaten these."

Xu Hongdou waved his hand and said.

"Yes, beauty."

The waitress nodded and bowed out.

"Xu Hongdou, you really know how to eat that."

Xu Manni looked at Xu Hongdou, who was very skilled in ordering, and couldn't help but say, to be able to order so skillfully, you can imagine how many times she has come to eat.

"If you can't eat it, you'll lose yourself.

Xu Hongdou said disapprehantly.

"Brother-in-law, what have you eaten in Africa for the past two days? Did you go out for a walk or something?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked very curiously.

"It's all in the camp, how can I go out, even if I can go out, who dares to go. If you eat it, it's a bread and milk sandwich, and you won't die of hunger anyway."

Zhao Heng said.

"It's so hard."

Xu Hongdou said that she originally thought that the living security of this group organized by the United Nations should be very good.

"Brother-in-law, I have seen some statements on the Internet in the past two days, saying that the outbreak of virus infection in Africa and New Guinea may be man-made, and it is also related to the United States, is the United States really so mad?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked very curiously.

"Do you know about the syphilis test in the United States?"

Zhao Heng didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Syphilis test?"

Xu Hongdou was a little puzzled.

"Yes."

Zhao Heng nodded, and talked about the before and after of the syphilis test in the United States.

After he finished speaking, it was obviously the height of summer, but Xu Hongdou felt that his back was cold.

"Brother-in-law, you said it all, that was the last century, and now that it is a civilized society, this kind of thing should not happen, right?"

Xu Hongdou said with some unimaginability.

The incident that Zhao Heng talked about was more terrifying than any ghost story she had ever heard.

Because she knows that ghost stories are fiction, and this story is a real thing.

"This kind of thing has nothing to do with the times and the level of civilization."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.

As a developed country, don't all neon countries also discharge nuclear wastewater into the offshore sea?

Where does this show civilization?

"The storm is coming."

As a medical worker, Xu Manni heard more things from Zhao Heng's syphilis test.

She knew that Zhao Heng must have known something, but it was inconvenient to say it, so she talked about the syphilis test in the United States.

"Sister, don't scare me."

Xu Hongdou said with some fear.

"Don't think so much, we're not Africa."

Zhao Heng said slowly, he still has some confidence in China, as for places like Africa, it's really hard to say.

After a while, Xu Hongdou's signature dish for three people came up, and after the dish was served, they ate delicious food, and the three of them felt a lot more relieved in their hearts, so only love and food can not live up to that!

"Don't say it, the dishes ordered by the red beans are really good."

After Xu Manni tasted a few dishes, she said to Zhao Heng.

"Of course, I'll just say I'm good at eating."

Xu Hongdou said a little proudly, of course, I don't know if I can eat this kind of thing, what is there to be proud of.

"Brother-in-law, you're back, you won't go again, will you?"

After a pause, Xu Hongdou asked again.

"I shouldn't be going again, what's wrong?"

Zhao Heng nodded, this kind of thing, it's almost enough to let him go once, if there is more, he won't let him go, and he can't catch a sheep, right?

"Then it's better for you and my sister to get married first, and then find a time to get married."

Xu Hongdou said suddenly.

"Ugh.

Why did you suddenly think of this?"

Zhao Heng didn't expect Xu Hongdou to say this.

"I just think, in this world now, who knows when something will happen, you have to cherish the people around you."

Xu Hongdou said very seriously.

Xu Manni didn't speak, just looked at Zhao Heng, but it could be seen that her mood was not calm.

"Shall we meet first?"

Zhao Heng thought about it and said to Xu Manni.

"Okay."

Xu Manni nodded, smiled and said.
