"Dr. Zhao, if it were someone else, honestly, with a rapidly progressing malignant tumor like a primitive neuroectodermal tumor, my suggestion would be to maximize the patient's quality of life in their remaining time. But if it's you, Dr. Zhao, I think there's at least a thirty percent chance now."
Qu Xiaofeng said to Zhao Heng.
In the hands of Zhao Heng, miracles always seem to happen, a fact that has been proven many times over.
Although many people still resent Zhao Heng's sudden rise, no one doubts his capabilities anymore.
Because whenever someone questions him, Zhao Heng silences them with indisputable facts!
"We do our best, because if we give up hope, then the patient certainly has no hope."
Zhao Heng said with some emotion.
This statement came from the heart. With the advancement of medical technology, it seems people are increasingly treated as objects, neglecting the fact that while physical recovery is important for humans, mental health cannot be ignored.
Take tumor treatment for instance, where the patient's mental state greatly affects the treatment's effectiveness.
There are many cases where, given the tumor's progression, a patient might have one to two years left, but after learning they have a tumor, they only live for half a year or even less.
This highlights the importance of mental state, or hope.
"That's how it should be."
Upon hearing Zhao Heng's words, Qu Xiaofeng nodded in agreement. What Zhao Heng said was the original intent of being a doctor.
Yet this original intent has become difficult to maintain at times.
"Dr. Zhao, may I participate in this round of somatic cell cultivation?"
After a pause, Qu Xiaofeng asked Zhao Heng.
"Of course, you can. These devices are managed by the pathology department, so Dr. Qu, you can definitely participate. Besides, there's quite a lot here that we'll need your help with."
Zhao Heng replied assuredly.
These devices originally belonged to the pathology department, so when using their equipment, you'd naturally go through their doctors.
As for what Qu Xiaofeng might learn from working together, Zhao Heng was eager for that to happen.
It's known that in the Yanjing University laboratory project group, Professor Li Hongwei's biggest worry is that the more advanced and cutting-edge the technology, the harder it is to train talent in that field.
With general technology, if talent is lacking, time can eventually compensate.
But learning cutting-edge skills like stem cell culture requires talent, and it can't be refined by time alone.
If Qu Xiaofeng truly learned this skill, Zhao Heng would be pleased. It would mean that in Eastern Hospital, he wouldn't have to handle related treatments alone.
"Aren't you worried I'll learn your techniques?"
Upon hearing Zhao Heng's straightforward response, Qu Xiaofeng smiled and said.
His comment wasn't baseless due to past experiences.
There are those who feel they possess unique techniques and keep them hidden, fearing others might learn them.
"I'd be thrilled if you learned them. In Yanjing University with Professor Li Hongwei, he used to say that his biggest concern is finding successors for his techniques. When I left Professor Li's lab, he said that the more people who master his techniques, the better."
Zhao Heng said indifferently.
Stem cell culture is advanced technology, not just a product.
The stem cell field has an enormous market, and one or two individuals are just a drop in the ocean.
"Professor Li Hongwei truly has a broad vision."
Hearing this, Qu Xiaofeng remarked.
It's no wonder Professor Li is renowned at Yanjing University; his forward-thinking is unmatched by ordinary individuals.
"Now I understand why you could invite Professor Li Hongwei, because you and Professor Li are alike."
After a pause, Qu Xiaofeng added.
Actually, if before he only acknowledged Zhao Heng, now Qu Xiaofeng genuinely admires him.
"Nowadays, there are very few people who truly focus on learning techniques."
Zhao Heng couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
In fact, Professor Li Hongwei, despite being a top national professor, doesn't have many competent talents under him; most promising young researchers have gone abroad, and domestically, the burden lies on the middle-aged and older generation.
In the current academic environment, young people hardly have a chance to stand out.
"Dr. Zhao, although these devices are five years old, I dare say they are very advanced among hospitals nationwide. With these as a foundation, a stem cell treatment center meeting daily medical needs can indeed be established."
Qu Xiaofeng said again.
Even if Zhao Heng isn't satisfied with these devices, it depends on the comparison. The Yanjing University School of Life Sciences is a top laboratory nationwide and even worldwide, which naturally differs from Eastern Hospital.
But Eastern Hospital, as one of the top hospitals nationwide, has great strength, and its equipped devices are top-tier, unmatched by most hospitals.
Moreover, the Yanjing University laboratory is for research, whereas Eastern Hospital focuses on treatment, requiring different standards for equipment.
In short, these devices are more than adequate for clinical treatments.
"Indeed, these devices adequately meet clinical treatment needs. But why have they been idle for five years?"
Zhao Heng nodded, then asked with some curiosity.
"Dr. Zhao, we have the equipment, but it can't run itself. Older doctors don't know much about cutting-edge treatments like stem cell therapy, hence no one is engaging in it. The younger doctors want to, but lack experience and ability, so the equipment ends up idle."
Qu Xiaofeng said somewhat helplessly.
Hospitals are already stretched thin meeting routine demands, let alone engaging in research of cutting-edge treatments.
"Never mind, let's put these devices to use. If we can make some advancements in stem cell therapy, I'm sure it will benefit many patients."
Zhao Heng said with a smile.
"Yes, Dr. Zhao, I'll be depending on you for meals from now on."
Qu Xiaofeng also smiled.
The atmosphere instantly became very harmonious.
