Vanessa Lee Chester, the chief diagnostician from B. Braun Medical, seemed polite and showed great importance to Yu.

But whether it is "seeing is believing" or this "fortunate to join", it shows this person's doubts about Yu Zhiming, as well as the self-righteous arrogance of Westerners, who are superior to others.

Yu Zhiming will not get used to it.

Just as he was about to speak, he noticed a few taps on his left foot.

Yu Zhiming glanced at Gu Qingran on his left, and knew that this guy was really interested in the latest hemodialysis membrane in Chester's mouth.

He understands that, too.

High-end precision medical instruments and equipment such as nuclear magnetic resonance imagers, as well as core high-tech medical materials such as lung membranes required for artificial cardiopulmonary ECMO, are basically controlled by foreign countries.

Domestic substitution still has a long way to go.

Cooperative production is undoubtedly the best way to quickly obtain each other's technology, and then achieve follow-up and overtaking.

Therefore, it is necessary to make some sacrifices appropriately.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhiming softened his tone a little.

"As you may already know, Dr. Chester, I'm now working on a very early stage project for cancer."

"Coupled with other daily tasks, I am short on time, so I can only say sorry for your project invitation."

The next moment, Yu Zhiming said again: "However, I would be happy to do a physical examination of these three people you brought, so that you can see my ability to believe." ”

This response gave Gu Qingran the urge to hold his forehead.

He had already seen that the purpose of this Chester was to bring Yu Zhiming into her project research team.

You first rejected the invitation, and then you want the other party's benefits, why did your ideas become so naïve?

Gu Qingran just wanted to open his mouth to redeem himself, but Chester spoke first.

"Dr. Yu, I didn't explain it clearly, if you know the specific content of my R&D team for this project, you will definitely understand why I said to create medical history."

Chester took a sip of his coffee before speaking again.

"For nearly eleven years, my team and I have mainly focused on the reversal of diabetes."

"The earlier it is detected, the more likely it is to be reversed."

Diabetes mellitus is an incurable disease, which can only be achieved by controlling the progression of the disease, preventing and delaying the occurrence of complications, improving the quality of life of patients, and prolonging the survival time of patients.

Although diabetes is an incurable, lifelong disease, it does not require lifelong medication.

According to current research, diabetes is mostly related to acquired poor lifestyle.

Therefore, as long as it is in the early stage of diabetes and there are no serious complications of various organs, correcting the unhealthy lifestyle that causes diabetes can reduce the burden on pancreatic islet β cells and improve the sensitivity of diabetics.

This may enable the limited amount of insulin secretion to meet the physiological needs of patients under the premise of diet and exercise control, and ultimately achieve the maintenance of euglycemic blood sugar in the case of long-term non-medication.

When this happens, it is a reversal of diabetes, and some medical scholars call it a cure for early diabetes.

This situation, in Yu Zhiming's view, is pure exaggeration to say that it is a cure.

However, it is just a replacement for long-term medication through strict diet control, lifestyle control, and exercise control.

If you can't stick to this strict and self-disciplined ascetic life, the symptoms of diabetes will follow......

Chester continued: "In recent years, my team and I have been very successful in our research on the early detection and treatment of diabetes. ”

She said proudly: "The diabetes screening program we developed has an accuracy rate of 84% in detecting asymptomatic diabetic patients in the early stage. ”

After a pause, Chester said solemnly, "I can tell you a piece of news." ”

"As of yesterday, a total of seven patients with early-stage asymptomatic diabetes have been cured after scientific and meticulous treatment by our team."

"Please note that I'm talking about a cure, not a reversal, and that the strict diet and lifestyle they don't need also enables self-regulation of blood sugar," she stressed. ”

"We are confident that we can overcome the problem of curing early asymptomatic diabetes and bring good news to more patients."

Chester looked at Yu Zhiming and said, "Your country has the largest number of diabetics in the world, and the incidence rate continues to rise, and now one in ten people has diabetes. ”

"Dr. Yu, will you insist on declining my invitation to join my research team?"

Yu Zhiming looked at Chester, who was full of confidence, and gave a polite shallow smile.

Chester's words did not touch him much.

Nowadays, many cancers can be cured in the early stages, and diabetes can be cured in the asymptomatic early stages, which is not a big medical breakthrough in Yu's view.

In other words, the most important thing is to detect it early.

Any kind of disease, in the early stages, is the easiest stage to deal with.

It's just like a tumor that has taken root and sprouted, and the early development of diabetes is extremely insidious, with no symptoms.

When symptoms are detected, it is basically the middle stage that requires clinical treatment.

Yu Zhiming was not impressed by Chester's invitation, and another reason is that although this diabetes cannot be cured and is a lifelong disease, compared with cancer, it has a very huge characteristic.

That is, diabetes can be effectively controlled.

If diabetic patients live a self-disciplined life, achieve long-term blood sugar control, and have no diabetic complications, in this case, the patient's life expectancy will basically not be affected.

Yu Zhiming also understands that the purpose of the other party inviting him to join the research team is nothing more than to let him help optimize the diabetes screening indicators, explore the physical changes of diabetic patients, optimize the treatment plan, and so on.

To put it bluntly, let him be a tool man.

Judging from Chester's attitude, it should not give Yu Zhiming an important R&D position, such as the person in charge, or a collaborator, etc.

At most, he is regarded as a high-level worker.

Yu Zhiming secretly said in his heart, it is better to work with a domestic diabetes research team for you as a gringo.

As the country with the largest number of diabetic patients, there are not too many medical experts who study diabetes.

If there is no suitable team, it is not impossible for Yu Zhiming to come forward and form one by himself.

Of course, Yu Zhiming also understands the truth that greed can't chew too much, and now that he has limited time and energy, he is unlikely to participate in too many research projects......

Yu Zhiming thought about it for a while, and was about to say no again, but Gu Qingran spoke first.

"Dr. Chester, this cooperation in research and development projects is not something that can be negotiated in a few simple words."

"Why don't you let Dr. Yu check the health of these three of your companions first?"

Gu Qingran saw Chester nodding in agreement with this proposal, and asked confirmatively: "About the hemodialysis membrane?" ”

Chester chuckled softly: "Mr. Gu, don't worry, what I said will definitely be fulfilled." ”

"Even if Dr. Yu finally rejected my invitation......

After hearing this, Yu Zhiming got up and said, "Let's not waste time, let's start the physical examination." ”

"Follow me to the exam room."

Chester, who got up together, interrupted: "Doctor Yu, as far as I know, you can also do a physical examination in a more chaotic environment. ”

"This office is quiet enough, just do a body survey here, we'll be watching from the sidelines, it should be okay, right?"

Yu Zhiming couldn't help but roll his eyelids.

Is this because he is afraid of cheating?

"Yes!"

Yu Zhiming looked at the three men beside Chester and asked directly, "Which of you came first?" ”

As he spoke, a brown-haired man in his thirties took a small step forward.

Yu Zhiming asked the person to lie down on the vacated couch, put on medical gloves, and started from the person's head, patting and pressing it, and began to check.

After checking the person's chest, Yu Zhiming frowned, and then accelerated the inspection, and the person's chest and abdomen were checked in less than a minute.

Then, Yu Zhiming straightened up, turned around, and looked at Chester with a displeased expression.

"He had three one-centimeter-diameter glass spheres in his body, one of which had fallen from the lower end of the esophagus by silk threads, one in the duodenum, and one in the colon."

"Doctor Chester, your test is too simple, isn't it? You look down on me completely. ”

Chester clapped his hands lightly and said, "Doctor Yu, this is not contemptible, this is enough to prove that your body exploration ability is comparable to CT, and the exploration efficiency is far beyond CT." ”

"That's pretty remarkable."

"Dr. Yu, let's continue!"

The second person to be examined was a man in his forties with a hooked nose and deep eyes.

Yu Zhiming did a full body examination of him and found that the biggest problem on his body was pancreatic cancer.

Luckily, it's early.

Chester clapped his hands a little louder.

"Doctor Yu, the rumors are true, amazing!"

"He was diagnosed with early pancreatic cancer when we were screened for diabetes in the past few days, and he was diagnosed with early pancreatic cancer after our repeated examinations."

"I really didn't expect that Dr. Yu, you would be able to confirm his pancreatic cancer in just four or five minutes."

Qi Yue, Gu Qingran, and Zhou Mo on the side heard these words, and their expressions were a little strange.

This is really poor information, rare and strange.

For Yu Zhiming, this is a basic operation.

Chester said happily, "Your skills are enough to join my research team." ”

Yu Zhiming smiled lightly noncommittally, and looked at the third person again.

Chester added, "Doctor Yu, when examining him, there was a small request that you wear an eye patch. ”

After a pause, she explained, "The reason for this requirement is that Dr. Yu needs you to sense the tattoo on his skin with your hands. ”

When Qi Yue heard this request, his heart suddenly changed.

In patients with early diabetes, the body is in a state of high glucose, and the tissue fluid under the surface layer of the skin is in a hypertonic state, which dehydrates the cells on the surface of the skin, loses moisture from the skin, and causes dry skin.

In the middle and late stages of diabetes, it can lead to severe diabetic skin diseases.

There may even be necrosis and ulceration of the skin.

In all likelihood, the Chester team has mastered a way to confirm dermatomescence by probing the condition of the skin.

That's why she tested Yu Zhiming's ability to detect subtle changes in the skin.

Chester's voice rang out again.

"Dr. Yu, your ability has made me see and believe, and I am completely qualified to join my team."

"His skin tattoo was made by our famous tattoo artist with the finest needle, and the most recent tattoo was two years ago."

Chester smiled and said, "Dr. Yu, if you are not sure, you can give up this test." ”

Yu Zhiming stretched out his hand and said, "Blindfold ......"
