Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 1392 Zhang Fu's Western Medical Examination Report (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Dr. Shen's lecture today was quite good!"

On the way back in the afternoon, Fang Yan said to Shen Zhanyao.

After finishing his story about treating rabies in pregnant women, Shen Zhanyao really opened up and talked about several special cases, which his subordinates listened to with great interest.

Several rounds of enthusiastic applause erupted in succession.

Shen Zhanyao's speech went more and more smoothly. He even remembered some things that he couldn't quite remember before. After he finished speaking, the students and professors below asked him a lot of questions, and Shen Zhanyao answered them one by one.

This lesson can be considered successfully completed.

Then Fang Yan took Shen Zhanyao away from the school and visited the research institute's factory for a while. When it was almost time, Fang Yan took him and Ma Xinghua home.

“For the lectures in a couple of days, please keep the same pace. After I finish speaking, just tell a few more stories,” Fang Yan said to Shen Zhanyao.

Shen Zhanyao nodded repeatedly. When he came out of the research institute, Fang Yan had already given him and Ma Xinghua two tape recorders. Looking at the boxes covered in English, Shen Zhanyao knew that these things were definitely not cheap. They were imported foreign goods, and these things were probably worth several months of his salary.

"Director Fang, don't worry, it's just going up on stage to talk about some things from back then, it's not difficult for me," Shen Zhanyao said to Fang Yan.

Ma Xinghua nodded and echoed his sentiment.

He didn't actually say much today; he just raised his hand.

After Shen Zhanyao finished speaking, some professors pulled him aside and asked him about his illness back then.

He had prepared his lines, but he hadn't used them yet. Then, Fang Yan even sent them a tape recorder in advance.

That's really meticulous.

……

After returning home, Fang Yan started cooking dinner, while her master, Lu Donghua, chatted with Shen Zhanyao in the main hall.

The two were surprised to find that the courtyard house was so big when they first visited Fang Yan's home.

The home's decor was also a sight to behold, blending modern and antique elements. They looked around curiously while chatting with Lu Donghua.

Later that evening, the rest of Fang Yan's family members also came home from get off work one after another. Zhu Lin, who was at home, introduced Shen Zhanyao and Ma Xinghua, whom Fang Yan had invited back for dinner.

Shen Zhanyao then learned that Fang Yan's father and father-in-law were both professors at an industrial university, and that they were involved in defense technology.

My mother and mother-in-law are doctors and researchers, respectively.

Even my eldest sister is a top student in the law department of Peking University; her future is truly limitless.

After a while, Lao Hu also returned. Only then did Shen Zhanyao realize that an overseas Chinese businessman was living in Fang Yan's house and was doing cross-border business with Fang Yan. The elderly pregnant woman Huang Huijie, whom he thought was just visiting from next door, was actually the overseas Chinese businessman's wife.

And then there's the Maozi apprentice with the dialect; it seems like none of his family members are ordinary people. In their county, they would be considered relatives that people would be proud to talk about.

The most ordinary person in the house was actually Grandpa Lu, with whom I had chatted for the entire afternoon.

Of course, this person isn't exactly ordinary either, just relatively ordinary.

When it was time for dinner, Fang Yan brought out some wine and warmly welcomed Shen Zhanyao and Ma Xinghua.

The family also prepared rice as their staple food.

They made Shen Zhanyao and Ma Xinghua very happy with the meal, and they were a little drunk that night. It was Fang Yan who took them back to the guesthouse.

...The next morning, Shen Zhanyao was supposed to make rounds with Fang Yan, but he still hadn't woken up by then.

Fang Yan didn't call him, and went to check the rooms herself.

Zhang Fu's condition has almost fully recovered today. The laboratory department has already issued a report for Fang Yan after conducting an examination this morning.

Test items: Rabies virus antigen (cerebrospinal fluid), rabies virus antigen (saliva), rabies virus neutralizing antibody
Test method: Direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) mouse neutralization test (MNT)

Test result: Negative. No neutralizing antibodies detected.

In addition, the white blood cell count, neutrophil percentage, and C-reactive protein levels were all within the normal range.

The above document bears the signatures of the laboratory director and deputy director, and the conclusion is written on it.

No rabies virus antigen or specific neutralizing antibody was detected in the submitted sample. Blood routine and inflammatory indicators were normal, meeting the clinical cure criteria.

In short, this "all negative" report, using the most authoritative immunological tests and routine inflammatory indicators at the time, directly proved from the two dimensions of "residual virus" and "body inflammatory state" that Zhang Fu no longer had the rabies virus in his body, and fully met the standards for clinical cure.

This report not only reflects the rigor of modern medicine, but also confirms the therapeutic effect of the Xiaoyuxue Decoction in "eliminating blood stasis and toxins".

From today onwards, Zhang Fu can be said to meet the criteria for a full recovery according to Western medicine.

Of course, according to Shen Zhanyao's standards, Zhang Fu is not fully recovered yet. He is still a little stiff when he walks on tiptoe. He believes that he is fully recovered when he is no longer stiff.

Then, he dialed the dean's office number, which was answered after only two rings.

"It's me, the dean! All negative! Zhang Fu's rabies test is all negative today." Fang Yan's voice was a few decibels higher than usual. "No viral antigens were detected in the cerebrospinal fluid and saliva, and the neutralizing antibodies were also negative. The blood routine and CRP were normal. Director Li of the laboratory personally signed the report. Compared with the positive report from the epidemic prevention station before, it's a completely different situation!"

A flurry of paper-flipping came from the other end of the phone, followed by Dean Cui Jingyi's excited voice: "Great! Great! I'll call the comrades at the Ministry of Health right away and let them be happy too. Our Peking Union Medical College Hospital's TCM department has really cured rabies! This is a big deal!"

After hanging up with the dean, Fang Yan dialed Director Liao's number. He had barely finished saying "All negative reports" when he heard Director Liao slam his fist on the table on the other end:
"Great! Now that we have this report, no one can gossip! Have someone compile Zhang Fu's before and after medical reports and use them as key material during the lecture. Let those Western medicine experts take a good look at them! We'll promote it well then!"

Director Liao paused, then added:
"By the way, tell Dr. Shen that once this report is released, his experience will no longer be just his own 'case study,' but will be based on scientific evidence! Tell him to relax and speak boldly during his lecture!"

Finally, Fang Yan dialed Professor Wang Yuchuan's number at the school. After listening to the report, Professor Yuchuan burst out laughing on the phone: "I knew you could do it! Some people were grumbling to me before, but now that we have this all-negative report, I'd like to see what they have to say! I'll inform the professors in the department right away. When do you think we should hold a lecture? We'll use Zhang Fu's case as a teaching example so that everyone can learn what 'differentiation of syndromes and treatment' and 'the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine' really mean!"

Fang Yan discovered that the professor was even more excited than he was.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yan walked to the door of the ward and saw Zhang Fu walking on tiptoe in the room through the glass window.

Zhang Fu turned his head and saw Fang Yan, smiling and waving, his voice clear and bright:
"Dr. Fang, has the report come out yet? I feel much better in my legs today!"

Fang Yan pushed open the door and handed the report to Zhang Fu's brother: "Everything is normal now. The virus has been completely cleared. According to Western medical standards, your brother has recovered."

Zhang Fu took the report and read it several times. Suddenly, his eyes reddened: "Thank you so much, Dr. Fang! Before, at other hospitals, the doctors all said there was no hope. I never expected that traditional Chinese medicine could be so amazing and could produce such a solid report!"

Zhang Fu also came over to look at the report. Although he couldn't understand many of the technical terms, he recognized the words "negative" and "normal." He grinned.

"So, can I be discharged from the hospital? I'll definitely tell everyone during the lecture that traditional Chinese medicine can cure rabies, and Dr. Fang can cure rabies!"

Fang Yan smiled and nodded:

"Once your toes are no longer stiff, you can be discharged from the hospital. During the lecture, you can go on stage with Dr. Shen and Ma Xinghua, and we'll let more people know this good news."

P.S.: There will be more chapters this afternoon after this one is finished.
