When you think of Christianity, you may first think of three major denominations: Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and Protestantism. There is often an impression that Catholicism is mainly found in Western Europe and Orthodox in Russia.

In fact, there are also religions in Africa, and because of their geographical proximity to the Middle East and Europe, African religions are influenced by them and can be roughly divided into two factions.

North Africa is basically an Islamic country, while Central Africa and South Africa are basically Christian countries (including Catholicism and Protestantism), and Sue Soken, which has a population of more than 100 million, is also Christian, but it is actually quite different from those.

More than 65 percent of the population in Sue Soken believe in Christianity, but it is not one of the three major denominations, but the "Eastern Orthodox Church", which is a branch of Christianity, which is similar in name to the Orthodox Church.

The story begins in the fourth century AD, when the Suesoken region flourished under the rule of the Aksumite dynasty.

One day, a group of slave traders brought their newly captured slaves to the palace, and the king took a fancy to two of them.

Although these two slaves are prisoners, they have a good temperament and conversation, and they are also a pair of brothers.

The king spent a lot of money to buy the two men.

According to the two, they were from Tyre (present-day Lebanon) and were shipwrecked while crossing the Red Sea, and only the two of them survived before being captured by slave traders.

The elder, named Frumentius, was a devout Christian and very knowledgeable.

As a result, the king appointed Frumentius as the tutor of the crown prince Ezana.

Under his influence, the crown prince also became a Christian and formed a special Christian community.

The old king did not stop Frummentius from proselytizing, but before his death he admitted that the Frumentius brothers were no longer slaves but free men.

After the crown prince ascended the throne, he made up his mind to convert to Christianity and sent his teacher Frumentius to Alexandria to ask the Coptic Orthodox bishop of Egypt to send a bishop.

Frumentius was a very knowledgeable, devout believer, and familiar with the Axumite dynasty, where he was the emperor and the most important person to be the new bishop, so he was naturally appointed bishop of Axum by the Egyptian Coptic Orthodox Church, which is the origin of the current Suesoken Orthodox Church.

At this time, Christianity had not yet become the state religion in Rome, and it can be said that the Christian tradition in Sue Soken predates Rome.

With the strength of the Roman Empire, Christianity spread throughout Europe, Western Asia, and Africa. Although there are still differences between the churches, they are largely the same, and there is no hostility.

With the collapse of the Western Roman Empire, the ties between these scattered churches gradually weakened. In Western Europe, there was a constant change of power, and the status of the Church began to rise above the world.

And in Southeastern Europe, the Eastern Roman Empire still stood tall, which led to the church in the East always being controlled by secular emperors.

The Eastern and Western churches began to move in two different directions.

Eventually, the contradictions led to a break between the Egyptian Church and other churches.

And the Sue Soken Church is the younger brother of Egypt, so naturally it also broke up.

To this day, the religious views of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt and the Soken Orthodox Church in Sue are incompatible with the "Orthodox Church", and the contradictions are completely irreconcilable, so it can be said that they are in their own right.

The most obvious example is that the people of Sue Soquen celebrate Christmas on January 7, not December 25 in the West.

Later, Egypt was conquered by Islam, and the Eastern Orthodox Church was left with only one seedling left in Sue Soken.

Sue Soken has a historical relationship with the Arabs, and the Aksumite dynasty once saved the life of the family of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, so the Arabs did not invade.

The Obelisk of the Aksumite Dynasty stands still today and is a testimony to the civilization of the ancient Axum Dynasty.

……

After Zhou Qiao agreed, he continued to participate in the weekly meeting of the Academician Dominory Institute. Because it was about ten o'clock in the morning, they only set off in the evening, and it was too late.

Although it is important to save people, compared with the long voyage of more than ten hours, I don't care about such a little time.

And leave in a hurry, the work in the clinic must always be explained in advance.

In particular, at this meeting now, he had an idea, and he wanted to discuss it with Academician Domitri. Because this project is about "old medicine" research, and Nanako Chiba has expertise in this area, he wants to bring Nanako Chiba in.

Through this "high-end" project, Nanako Chiba can grow more rapidly.

He called Sensei Domiteri privately and shared his thoughts, as well as a detailed description of Nanako Chiba's resume and strengths.

"No problem, then let her be involved. You'll talk about it again at the meeting. ”

So, Zhou Qiao went to the meeting to speak.

In charge of this project is Lizzie Charty Mayer, since the big bosses have agreed, and Zhou Qiao's status in the institute is also quite transcendent and subtle, Lizzie Charty is naturally fine. She is a person with high emotional intelligence, and she will not conflict with Zhou Qiao because of this kind of thing.

For her, she also has to have a good relationship with her future boss Zhou Qiao.

Nanako Chiba was stunned on the spot, and immediately rejoiced in her heart.

"Zhou Jun really spoiled me, which helped me win an opportunity. I love him so much that I must repay him well. ”

The project, originally planned, was to recruit about 600 to 2,000 patients (as many as possible) for the treatment of that "old drug", which required patients to have an acutely progressive stroke with a neurological function score (NIHSS) of 2 or more within 48 hours of the stroke.

Since it is an "old drug", the side effects are basically clear, which is equivalent to the trial of a new treatment plan, so there is no need to go to other countries to do new drug trials, and it is directly conducted in the United States.

There are few Americans, it is more difficult in one state, and some patients may not agree to sign the agreement, so they were supposed to go to several states and spread out the experiment, and after discussion, Nanako Chiba was in charge of the experiment in California.

Zhou Qiao helped Nanako Chiba win a share of 200 patients. Nanako Chiba is happy and apprehensive at the same time, because she doesn't know if she can recruit 200 suitable patients.

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and gave encouragement: "Believe in yourself, you will definitely be able to do it." ”

"Uh-huh." Nanako Chiba nodded, but still felt pressured.

Zhou Qiao called Stephanie to the office again and explained some things after he left.

After eating a hamburger and steak casually at noon, Zhou Qiao stepped on the flight to Texas.

When I arrived in Texas, I first went to see my four big fat boys, and I had a good time with Luoya, and the two of them took a few escorts and took a special plane to fly directly to Yavidbe, the capital of Sue Soken.

"Doctor Zhou, I'm finally looking forward to you!" President Deriba, General Valle, and the director of the Federal Hospital for Nationalities were already waiting at the entrance of the hospital.

"How's the patient doing now?" The first thing Zhou Qiao did was to ask about his condition.

The director of the Federal National Hospital said: "The favor of the winner is fine for the time being, but his life will be in danger at any time. ”

"Let's go, take me to see the patient first." Zhou Qiao said.

Everyone couldn't help but admire, and the first thing they did when they came over went straight to the point, without the slightest other greetings, or asking for a rest first.

Zhou Qiao followed the director of the hospital to the intensive care unit, and General Baye was concerned about his beloved wife, so he naturally followed closely.

As for Luo Ya, she took the initiative to stop President Derriba and warmly invited the president to negotiate some matters of cooperation between the two sides, and President Delhiba gladly went.

Anyway, Luo Ya can't help with the treatment of diseases and saving people, so it's better to be busy with herself. And this time Zhou Qiao helped here again, and there will be some advantages when negotiating.

Luo Ya has no doubts about Zhou Qiao's strength, now that the patient has not died and Zhou Qiao has arrived, there is probably no problem.

Zhou Qiao went to see the patient, carefully inquired about some details from the medical staff and family members, and combined with the CT imaging results, the diagnosis was confirmed as a ruptured mesenteric artery.

The condition is really critical, and it can be said that it is not easy for the patient to persist until now.

There's a little bit of luck in this, perhaps, it's really the favor of the Lord.

General Valle's wife's condition is somewhat specific.

In general, a mesenteric aneurysm is an aneurysm that occurs on the edge of the mesentery, submembranous artery, or mesenteric artery. Because mesenteric aneurysms grow in the abdominal cavity, they are not easy to be diagnosed when there is no rupture and ischemia, and once they rupture, heavy bleeding in the abdominal cavity can occur, which is life-threatening.

However, Mrs. Valle was congenitally given a mesenteric artery that was more than normal, and it happened to come from the retroperitoneal location, and after the aneurysm ruptured and hemorrhaged, it accumulated behind the peritoneum to form a huge hematoma.

Fortunately, this is the place, because the hematoma of General Valle's wife is too "massive", and the huge hematoma formed temporarily compresses the bleeding, but if over time, the pressure is too great and the hematoma ruptures, the consequences are still unimaginable.

Of course, the monitoring of this hospital also contributes to it.

Although the hospital could not treat it, it knew what kind of surgery it was going to do, and made a series of preoperative preparations early.

The data is very perfect, and after Zhou Qiao came over, he put forward some requirements, including the operating room and equipment, the patient's identity is special, and the people here naturally fully cooperate.

After another simple adjustment, Zhou Qiao entered the operating room and began the operation.

This is an interventional procedure for the embolization of a mutant mesenteric aneurysm.

It is a minimally invasive model, after local anesthesia, through an interventional device, a coil is placed at the proximal and distal end of the patient's aneurysm to embolize and stop bleeding, and the surgical wound is only the size of a needle's eye.

It's easy to say, but it requires a very high level of doctors, and a little carelessness will not only not save people, but also cause serious medical accidents.

In particular, General Baye's wife has one more mesenteric artery than normal people, and the blood supply to internal organs is much more complicated than that of ordinary people, and the operation is extremely difficult, but in front of Zhou Qiao, it is nothing.

Under his superb surgical skills, the hemorrhagic arterial segment was embolized very accurately and quickly, and the hematoma in the abdominal cavity after surgery will be absorbed by itself after sequential treatment, and the blood supply to the abdominal organs will not be affected.

The medical staff of Sue Soken National Hospital admired it so much, is this the strength of the top famous doctors in North America?

They had a headache to death, and they felt that they were "helpless" in an ultra-difficult condition, and in front of Dr. Zhou, it was easy to solve it in half an hour. This...... This......

That's it?

But it's really good and I have to take it!

The president of this hospital also observed the whole process in the monitoring room, and when the operation was over, the doctors came out, and the president stepped forward to congratulate and thank Zhou Qiao, and then privately asked the backbone doctors who participated in the operation: "How is it, have you all learned?" ”

He arranged so many people to go in, naturally hoping that the people under his command could "steal the teacher". Where can I find such a great opportunity? Usually I can't invite you, but this time it was General Baye who paid for the expensive knife fee to invite this top North American celebrity.

The senior doctors under his command were silent for a while, very embarrassed.

The operation just now, to be honest, was very silky when I saw Dr. Zhou's operation, but if you really want them to do it, it is really ...... Learning is wasted, learning is wasted, the eyes will know, and the hands must not know.

The director of the National Hospital shook his head and hated it, but when he thought about it, he was too harsh, how could he see this top-level surgical skill once?

In the ward, the patient was lying on the bed, with a slight relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at his husband and daughter who were holding his hands tightly, and said very weakly: "Don't worry, honey, I feel much more comfortable now." Before, it was like a mountain pressing down on me, and death was beside me, ready to harvest my life at any time, but now it is gone. Now I'm pretty relaxed. ”

"It's easy to be easy. Looking forward to your speedy recovery. General Baye was very emotional, although he spent a lot of money to save his beloved wife's life, but compared to his beloved wife's life, no matter how much money he spent, it was worth it.

After all, money can be scavenged again in the future, and the death of a beloved wife is a lifelong regret. They're still young, not yet fifty.

"Daughter, you accompany your mother, I'll go see Dr. Zhou and thank you in person." General Valle said to his daughter.

"Okay. With me here, Dad, don't worry. ”

"Well, let's go, thank that handsome doctor Zhou on my behalf." Madame Valle said with a smile as well.

"It's been a long time since you've laughed, and you're laughing so charmingly." General Valle leaned over, kissed Madame lightly on the forehead, and then left.

He went to see Zhou Qiao. Zhou Qiaozheng and Luo Ya, President Dryba and others had a very happy conversation.

General Valle naturally joined in.

In addition to his gratitude, General Valle gave an additional reward for a newly discovered mineral deposit.

Zhou Qiao gave it to Luo Ya. What does he want to do with the minerals, he still has to develop them.

In fact, everyone also knows that there is no difference between giving it to Zhou Qiao or Luo Ya, they are "family".

Luo Ya proudly took it into her pocket, glanced at Zhou Qiao, and said in her heart: "Even if it's the child support you gave to your son." ”

Thinking of her four precious sons, Luo Ya was still strange and sweet in her heart.

As for the super beautiful red diamond worth 20 million US dollars, it was a meeting gift, and it was given when he came, and Zhou Qiao also gave it to Luo Ya.

After all, Luo Ya has given herself I don't know how many things, not to mention anything else, just the $5.8 million watch, Zhou Qiao has been wearing it for so long, and the time has always been very accurate. Every time I look at my watch, I think of how good Luo Ya is.

This is also what Luo Ya wants to achieve. It is to let Zhou Qiao think about himself all the time.

General Valle is also a celebrity in Sue Soken, and his wife is hospitalized and critically ill, and has also attracted the attention of the local media. Since it is the capital, there are many other countries that have a presence here. For example, some embassies, some official media in other countries.

The Chinese Embassy in Sokken Sue invited Zhou Qiao to attend a meeting.

The news also spread back home.

In Zhuhai County People's Hospital, some doctors who knew Zhou Qiao were surprised: "I'll go, Dr. Zhou is awesome, and he actually went to East Africa to fly knives!" ”

"Cow, it's so good, it is said that the greeting gift alone is worth more than 20 million US dollars."

"Before, I thought that our hospital was too extravagant, and after Dr. Zhou came over for a month, the director couldn't wait, and gave more than one million yuan three times in a row. Now that I think about it, Dr. Zhou's willingness to cooperate and exchange with us for a month is probably entirely due to the situation of the hometown hospital. ”

"Yes, yes, Dr. Zhou is a person with feelings."

After seeing the news, the president of Zhuhai County People's Hospital was envious and admired, but also a little "raised his eyebrows" and slapped the table: "In the future, I will see who else says that I am a loser, and I give Dr. Zhou more money!" ”

During this time, there were always people who privately criticized that they did not treat the hospital's money as money, and would rather give millions and millions to a foreign-aided doctor than increase the wages and benefits of their own employees.

Now, those people should finally know their painstaking efforts. I spent 3 million to ask Dr. Zhou to come over for a month, is it easy for me?

Besides, it is obvious how much the hospital has benefited from a month of cooperation and exchange. Not to mention anything else, now that our hospital has passed the three Bs, Dr. Zhou's previous guidance has contributed a lot.
