Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 579 The inventor of the Heimlich maneuver made an offer that Fangyan couldn't refuse
To be honest, Fangyan has always felt that Chinese diplomacy in this era, if described using anthropomorphic techniques, gives him the impression of being more like an honest person.

When communicating, we usually just say what we have to say.

Be honest and trustworthy, and win people over with virtue.

Even if the other party does something wrong, we must still treat them with high standards.

Today, it seems that I am the honest man.

How can this be honest?
It is obvious that the purpose is to make the Americans come here without any benefits, and to make them serve as propaganda figures for domestic medical care.

So Fangyan asked curiously:
"Aren't you afraid that they will find out about this later and damage diplomatic relations?"

The dean shook his head and said:
"Of course not. They are communicating with a non-governmental organization, the Chinese Medical Frontier Club, which has nothing to do with us officially."

"Besides, they want to use our traditional Chinese medicine technology for free. Who can agree to this? No matter how good our relationship is, it is impossible to agree to this!"

"When the time comes, you can brag to them. That's how they usually treat us anyway. Sometimes these bastards even change the information in scientific journals to make them wrong in order to fool us. Everyone knows it, but they won't say it out loud."

After that, the dean patted Fangyan on the shoulder and said in a low voice:
"The game between the great powers is that they appear to be friendly on the surface, but stab each other in the back."

"Your mission this time is to fool them and let our media comrades take pictures."

Fang Yan looked at the dean's wrinkled old face and finally nodded in agreement:

"Don't worry, leader. I will definitely complete this mission!"

……

At around 9:50 in the morning, the staff informed the dean that the person had arrived.

Also accompanying them were people from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Health.

The two doctors who came this time were visiting on January 1978, 1 as part of a delegation of members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.

The two are mainly responsible for the medical tasks of the delegation. It is said that they are both very famous professors in the United States. They have published many papers in famous foreign medical academic journals such as "The Lancet", "American Medical Journal", "Cell" and the most famous "Nature Medicine".

As the world's top scientific journal, Nature has a high reputation and wide influence in academia, research institutions, and universities. Researchers are proud to publish papers in Nature, because it not only means that their research results are highly recognized by the international scientific community, but also helps to enhance the academic status of researchers and their institutions.

One of them is a cardiovascular expert and the other is a thoracic surgery expert.

They were very concerned about Fangyan's breakthrough in Western medical technology and his ability to cure idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in a short period of time. They had originally planned to bring all the medical staff over, but the Chinese side did not agree and only allowed two of them to come.

In this exchange activity, they wanted to understand how Chinese medicine works in Fangyan and confirm Zhou Zhaoqin's true situation.

As soon as the two men arrived at the hospital, they asked to check on the patients first.

Obviously, they don't quite believe the rumors that traditional Chinese medicine can cure diseases that they cannot cure in a short period of time using methods that they cannot understand.

I want to confirm this immediately, is it true?
What surprised Fang Yan and his friends was that the two experts actually brought the report of Zhou Zhaoqin's hospitalization in the United States, which recorded various data of Zhou Zhaoqin, as well as CT and X-ray images of his lungs.

It was obvious that they were ready to do this when they came.

The people from Union Hospital were of course not panicked. They took them directly to Zhou Zhaoqin's ward, where they met Zhou Yaobang and his wife.

Unexpectedly, they actually knew one of the doctors.

"Henry Heimlich!"

Lao Zhou greeted the thoracic surgery expert.

The doctor named Henry also echoed:

"Mr. Zhou, nice to see you again!"

When Fangyan heard Lao Zhou calling the doctor's name, he suddenly felt it sounded familiar.

Henry Heimlich...

Fangyan's mind worked quickly and he suddenly figured out who this person was.

He is an influential American thoracic surgeon, best known for inventing the Heimlich maneuver that bears his name in 1974.

This technology was often used in first aid in later generations.

I didn't expect to see a living person here today.

The two of them didn't know what Fangyan was thinking, so Lao Zhou and Henry Heimlich started chatting in English. Henry asked:

"Mr. Zhou, I heard that your daughter was saved by the miraculous oriental medical skills?"

Lao Zhou said very proudly:
"That's right. What your Western medicine couldn't do, our country's traditional Chinese medicine helped him do. I am very grateful to my motherland."

"They gave my daughter a second life."

Hearing Lao Zhou's answer, Henry said in disbelief:

"It's hard to believe that the rumor is actually true."

Lao Zhou said happily and proudly:
"Whether you believe it or not, the facts are before our eyes. My daughter is getting better day by day, and it won't be long before we can return to the south together and celebrate our Chinese New Year on the warm seaside."

"You spent so much of my money, but in the end you still didn't cure my daughter. You even recommended that I take the risk of giving her a lung transplant, which has a low success rate and survival rate. Fortunately, I didn't listen to your advice and returned to my country, which allowed my daughter to live again."

Listening to Lao Zhou's complaints to them, Henry seemed very calm. He said:

"But we have tried our best and used all the methods we can think of. If the treatment is unsuccessful, it can't be blamed on us for not trying hard enough."

After hearing this, Lao Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes. At this time, Henry asked Lao Zhou:

"Mr. Zhou, can I see Miss Zhou now?"

"When I heard the news that she was cured abroad, I felt a little bit unbelievable. I really couldn't imagine it. These Chinese people used those weeds to cure the terminal illness that we couldn't solve."

Old Zhou heard a sneer.

Fangyan thought that Lao Zhou was going to chase him away, but Lao Zhou paused and said:

"Of course, I know you won't believe it. To prevent you from spreading rumors, it's better to let you see it first."

After saying that, he went to the door and opened the door of the ward himself, then made an inviting gesture to Henry.

Henry and the other doctor looked at each other, nodded, and walked into the ward together.

At this moment, Zhou Zhaoqin had already sat up from the bed, and she was not wearing a breathing mask.

She even had some light makeup on her face.

He was holding today's newspaper in his hand and looked very relaxed.

Seeing Zhou Zhaoqin's separation, he was stunned. It took him about two seconds to organize his words and said:
"Wow, Miss Zhou, it's hard to believe. You look completely different now than before."

Zhou Zhaoqin responded to Henry in English:

"Doctor Henry, I didn't expect you to come all the way to China."

"I'm still scared when I think about your terrible treatment methods. Seeing you reminds me of some bad experiences."

Henry didn't feel embarrassed at all. He said very calmly:

"I'm really sorry, Miss Zhou. If I may, I would like to sincerely apologize. I feel very sorry for the bad treatment you experienced."

Although he said he was sad, his expression didn't change at all, and even reminded Zhou Zhaoqin of Fangyan's poker face.

When I turned around, I found Fangyan standing at the door.

Seeing Zhou Zhaoqin looking at him, Fang Yan nodded at her.

Henry looked back at Fang Yan, then said to Zhou Zhaoqin:
"This time I came here with a team from a government department, and I also want to confirm whether the rumors from outside are true?"

Zhou Zhaoqin responded:

"Now that you've seen it, you know whether the rumor is true or not, right?"

Henry frowned, looked Zhou Zhaoqin up and down, and then said:
"It's hard to believe that you've recovered so well... I even suspect they gave you a lung transplant."

"Do you want to take a look?" Zhou Zhaoqin pointed to his chest.

Henry said:

"If possible, I would like to verify whether there is any suture..."

When Lao Zhou heard this, he immediately became unhappy and said:

"Henry, that's very rude of you."

Henry nodded:
"Well, I know it even without watching it. I admit now that they are very powerful."

Then he turned to Lao Zhou and said:

"Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry that I didn't cure your daughter, but it wasn't intentional. Now we are eager to learn from these Chinese people and hope they can contribute this precious technology to the center of our civilized world and promote it for the benefit of the whole world."

After hearing this, Lao Zhou was so angry that he laughed:

"Hahaha, Dr. Henry, what you said is very humorous..."

he asked:
"Why should they contribute this technology? Just because you claim to be the center of the civilized world?"

"In my opinion, if this technology falls into your hands, you will only use it to make more money."

After saying this, Henry responded to Lao Zhou very confidently:
"Mr. Zhou, sometimes things don't always go as planned, but I hope you can calm down."

“We will definitely get our hands on this technology.”

"Because advanced technology must be in the hands of the center of the civilized world, this sentence has always been valid."

Lao Zhou was so angry that he said:

"Mr. Henry, I don't know where you get your confidence from?"

"But your confidence is really annoying. Just like when you promised to cure my daughter, it's not credible at all."

Henry did not speak at this time, but another doctor beside him spoke:

"Because we'll make that doctor an offer that he or she can't refuse, it's that simple."
