Chapter 317: Chapter 311: The Art of Employing People (2)

From morning until now, she has been watching, Zhao Heng hasn’t taken a break for a single moment.

“I’m afraid there won’t be any rest tonight. With the nano treatment just started, we’ll have to wait until the morning when the situation is more stable to say if this treatment is truly effective.”

Zhao Heng waved his hand and said, right now he’s just worried about the condition relapsing. Although carbon nanotubes have been injected into the patient’s body, and the medication is directly reaching the lesion, the Fusarium activities have significantly reduced under the effect of Mitifoxin. However, there’s still a lack of treatment experience for Fusarium infection patients, and no one knows what might happen next.

At the most critical moment now, we must wait until the patient’s brain edema significantly subsides to say the treatment is truly effective.

“Then Dr. Zhao, you can take a break, and I’ll watch over for now.”

Liu Meng said again, even though she had been busy since morning and hadn’t really rested, having been in emergency care and done 48-hour shifts, this from morning until night didn’t seem too much to her.

“I’m okay, you go take a nap, if anything comes up, Tian Zhen will call you.”

Zhao Heng told Liu Meng, as he wasn’t actually tired. His physical stamina now rivals that of an athlete, and any mental fatigue had already been recovered.

“Go take a nap, by daytime, there will be more things to handle, and it might be impossible to go home to rest in the next few days.”

Seeing Liu Meng’s face full of exhaustion, Zhao Heng spoke again.

“Hmm.”

Zhao Heng said so, and Liu Meng had to nod.

The next day, at nine in the morning.

In front of the Fusarium-infected patient’s bed stood Director Liu Shangming, Gao Jun, Zhao Heng, and Liu Ziang.

“Xiao Zhao, how was the patient’s condition overnight?”

Liu Shangming asked.

“The condition was basically stable overnight, and the EEG waveforms have also stabilized.”

Zhao Heng replied slowly.

“Stabilization of the EEG waveforms indicates the severe activities of the cerebral cortex have been halted, which also indicates that the nano treatment has indeed been effective.”

Liu Shangming said with gratification. He was originally an expert in tumor treatment, where nano treatments were more commonly applied.

So when it comes to nano treatment, Liu Shangming is very knowledgeable and familiar.

Having such a technically skilled director is a good thing for Eastern Hospital.

“Yes, the stabilization of EEG waveforms indicates the Fusarium inside the patient’s brain has entered a dormant state, basically ceasing activity.”

Liu Ziang continued.

“The most challenging aspect of Fusarium infection treatment is here. The reason why the mortality rate of Fusarium infection is so high is due to the rapid replication and iteration of Fusarium in the patient’s brain, causing severe brain edema that severely compresses brain tissue. Now, being able to suppress the activities and reproduction of Fusarium, the human immune system will proceed to eradicate the Fusarium next.”

Liu Shangming stated.

The reason Fusarium infection has such a high mortality rate is that during the early stages of infection, Fusarium replicates and iterates too rapidly, leaving the human immune system unable to react in time, while the patient’s brain edema has already become extremely severe.

Now that we can suppress the reproduction and iteration of the parasites, the human immune system will take effect.

In fact, many diseases are not cured by medication but by the body’s own immune system.

“Xiao Zhao, today, work a bit harder to quickly compile a detailed plan of this treatment.”

After a pause, Liu Shangming looked at Zhao Heng with great satisfaction and admiration.

This treatment plan is to be handed over to the minister, who will then pass it on to the doctors in Country H.

“Compiling the plan is no problem, but Director, to my knowledge, the research on nano treatment in Country H hasn’t reached the clinical application stage yet.”

Zhao Heng said.

Liu Shangming asked him to compile the treatment plan, knowing it was to be handed over to the health department of Country H.

But he also knew that the success of this treatment was greatly due to the unexpected discovery of Mitifoxin’s inhibitory effect on Fusarium. The crucial part was the use of carbon nanotubes to carry the drug directly to the lesion.

If only Mitifoxin was used without the nano drug delivery method, Zhao Heng was not certain of its efficacy in the late stages of Fusarium infection.

“Handing the treatment plan over as soon as possible is the most we can do. As for the nano treatment, the ministry will coordinate with Country H.”

Liu Shangming spoke slowly, indicating that was as much as he could say.

Saying ’coordination,’ in truth, means Country H will have to prepare to pay a hefty price.

Many things, of course, can’t be laid out in the open.

While the treatment plan can be given, the preparation of nano preparations is top secret and certainly not to be handed over to Country H.

The most likely scenario is to prepare a certain amount of nano preparations and then hand them over to Country H. The subsequent stage of loading the drugs is relatively simple, and Country H can do it themselves.

However, in this case, Country H would inevitably be controlled by us, needing to pay a significant price to obtain enough nano preparations to treat their own patients.

“Hmm.”

Zhao Heng nodded, such a big issue, he just casually asked. Besides, the preparation of nano preparations was developed by Professor Li Hongwei’s team, and Professor Li Hongwei was kind enough to trust him unreservedly with the authorization to prepare in the lab, which was indeed a rare privilege.

Liu Shangming exchanged a few more words with Zhao Heng before leaving the ward with Liu Ziang.

After they left, Gao Jun and Zhao Heng went to the office.

“Xiao Zhao, has Li Yang come to work? I haven’t seen him.”

As soon as Gao Jun sat down, he asked Zhao Heng.

“The nano preparations require some stabilizers, so I sent Dr. Li to Professor Li Hongwei’s lab to get them.”

Zhao Heng replied.

At eight in the morning, Li Yang came to work on time, naturally feeling a bit awkward upon meeting Zhao Heng, as Zhao Heng was once the main attending doctor while Li Yang was doing instrument support in the operating room. The difference in their statuses was undeniable, but now, it was Li Yang coming to work under Zhao Heng.

It’s indeed true that the tide turns every thirty years.

However, Li Yang, having been through a lot, quickly adjusted his mindset and got into his work.

Overall, Zhao Heng was satisfied with Li Yang’s performance.

“Hmm, actually Li Yang is a pretty good person but was held back. If you use him well, your workload could be much lighter in the future.”

Gao Jun nodded and began sharing his experience in employing people with Zhao Heng.

The business in the anesthesia and perioperative care center steadily increased, with Professor Huang Guangyu, as the center’s director, not being involved in the daily affairs, leaving Gao Jun to handle and coordinate everything, making him busy and unable to oversee Zhao Heng as meticulously as before.

“Overall, doctors coming from emergency departments have exceptionally good qualifications in all aspects.”

Zhao Heng stated.

The three doctors in the ward now, Wang Tao, Liu Meng, and Li Yang, all came from emergency and were competent in all aspects, with their professionalism being outstanding. This is ample proof that emergency duty genuinely hones people.

“That’s indeed true, but speaking of Song Siming, how should I say this, he indeed has his own practices in training and honing doctors. But he holds onto his resources too tightly, hadn’t even allowed Li Yang, who followed him for so long, to get a deputy director position.”

Gao Jun commented with some emotion.

Song Siming is somewhat like Song Jiang, appearing outwardly as generous and selfless in accepting disciples, but he has his calculations, genuinely looking out for his interests, holding onto his possessions tightly, unwilling to let go of anything without proper core benefits exchange, even to Li Yang, who had been with him for over a decade.

In this aspect, Gao Jun was completely different. Before Zhao Heng, he had never taken on any students.

But after taking Zhao Heng on, Gao Jun spared no effort in supporting and caring for him, being there for him every step of the way without regard for cost.
