Chapter 763: Chapter 762: Making an Exception

The patient who just awoke from a deep coma was Patient Number Four, who had been unconscious for seventy-nine days.

She was a thirty-one-year-old woman with a son who was a little over six.

After waking up, an examination revealed her condition was even slightly better than that of Lv Xing’s father.

Her thinking was lucid, and her speech was reasonably clear.

However, she had some short-term memory loss and couldn’t remember how she was injured. Additionally, her right eye’s vision was blurry, and she had some ringing in her right ear.

According to the patient herself, she had faintly heard her son desperately shouting "Mommy" and crying out for her help, which made her so anxious that she woke up.

The child’s father, standing to the side, sheepishly explained that the grandmother had brought their son to see his mother during the National Day holiday.

But with his mother in such a state, lying comatose in the hospital bed, the child was still too young to understand and kept fussing, demanding this and that.

The father, already frustrated, had truly lost his temper.

In a fit of anger, he had hit the child hard a few times, but halfway through, his wife woke up.

Yan Feifan glanced at the boy, who was being held by his grandmother and eating snacks nonstop, and shook his head to himself.

Regardless, another deep coma patient waking up today was a wonderful thing.

Lv Xing’s father had undergone three stimulation treatments, while this child’s mother had undergone five. Yan Feifan was delighted, and a little surprised, by the efficiency of the infrasound awakening.

However, Yan Feifan also clearly understood that this first batch of clinical trial patients had been meticulously selected. With the exception of one person who had been in a coma for half a year, the other five had all been in a coma for less than three months.

Furthermore, all six were in excellent physical condition, with no serious underlying diseases.

Since falling into their comas, they had also been receiving active rehabilitation therapy at the hospital.

Most importantly, the injuries to their brainstems had all been properly treated.

MRI scans of their brainstems showed that the injuries were now within a controllable range.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the chances of these few deep coma trial subjects waking up were already somewhat higher to begin with.

Of course, Yan Feifan wasn’t about to sell himself short and underestimate the role the infrasound resonance stimulation therapy played in their awakening.

But the specific efficacy of the infrasound awakening still needed to be objectively analyzed through a large amount of experimental data.

After Yan Feifan and Dr. Qiu Ge, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, conducted a detailed examination of the child’s mother, they returned to the ninth-floor office with Tang Jun.

"Another patient has successfully woken up..."

Tang Jun was even more excited than Yan Feifan and Qiu Ge, exclaiming, "This proves your infrasound experimental therapy is absolutely effective! It’s a success!"

"Mr. Yan, Dr. Qiu, you have to publish the results of this project in our journal."

"Whatever your conditions are, just name them. Seriously, name any condition you want. I can make the decision on behalf of the editor-in-chief."

Tang Jun emphasized again, "Really, I can guarantee it. The results of your project deserve this kind of special treatment."

Yan Feifan and Dr. Qiu Ge exchanged a glance before Yan Feifan slowly said, "Mr. Tang, we’ve already discussed the publication of the project’s results."

Yan Feifan held up a hand to stop Tang Jun’s eager questioning.

"Mr. Tang, hear me out..."

Yan Feifan explained, "Our idea is that if this clinical trial achieves good results, we will release all of the experimental data."

"For example, the detailed medical records of these six patients, their treatment records for every session, including the stimulation frequencies and so on—all of it, every piece of experimental data, will be released without reservation."

Tang Jun was a bit confused. "If you do that, won’t you have no secrets left at all?"

"Other medical institutions will be able to replicate your experiment with complete ease, won’t they?"

"That’s precisely our goal!"

Yan Feifan said with a sigh, "Every year in this country, there are seventy to one hundred thousand new deep coma patients. The current total is between four and five hundred thousand."

"Worldwide, the number of deep coma patients is even greater."

"Moreover, the causes of their comas are varied. The brainstem injury-induced comas that we focus on are only one subset."

"We simply don’t have the energy to cover research into every type of coma. Our only choice is to release our research data and let medical institutions around the world get involved."

Yan Feifan added with a smile, "Besides, with so many deep coma patients, we could work ourselves to death and still not wake up very many in a year. We have to rely on the combined efforts of all medical institutions."

Tang Jun applauded vigorously.

"Mr. Yan, Dr. Qiu, I must admit, I’m moved by your humanitarian spirit."

"If all the doctors in the world were as selfless and altruistic as you, I think the world would be a better place."

Yan Feifan waved his hand and chuckled. "Mr. Tang, don’t think so highly of us. We have our selfish reasons too."

"First, our team is small and our resources are limited. We can’t take on such broad and complex research into awakening patients from all the various types of deep comas."

"And second..."

Yan Feifan didn’t hide anything, stating bluntly, "This infrasound awakening experimental therapy of ours requires a specialized infrasound device."

"This device is quite expensive. If medical institutions around the world want to replicate our experiment, they’ll have to buy one, at the very least."

"You understand, Mr. Tang..."

A look of sudden understanding dawned on Tang Jun’s face, and he broke into a smile.

"I understand, I understand!"

"Heh, that’s only human. When scientists pour their heart and soul into an invention, they deserve to make a better life for themselves too."

Tang Jun added with praise, "And besides, this move of yours will be a huge boost to the development of our country’s medical equipment industry."

"For a long time now, cutting-edge medical devices and instruments have been monopolized by foreign giants."

"Now, thanks to you, Mr. Yan, not only do foreign medical institutions have to pay a high price for the smart surgical robots embedded with your puncture injection program and database, but they’ll also have to pay a high price for our infrasound device."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "Our country still has a long and arduous road ahead when it comes to the R&D and manufacturing of high-end medical equipment and instruments."

After a pause, he asked, "Mr. Tang, about the publication of the research results?"

Tang Jun mused, "To publish all the experimental data... that’s practically the length of a book..."

"How about this..."

Tang Jun’s eyes lit up. "We’ll publish a special issue. Not a supplementary issue, but a special issue that’s even more important than our regularly published monthly journal. It would be like a TV station interrupting its regular programming for a breaking news report on an urgent, major event."

"At that time, to coincide with the special issue’s publication, we can also hold a press conference for the medical breakthrough."

Yan Feifan and Qiu Ge were very satisfied with Tang Jun’s idea.

After the three of them briefly discussed the details of their collaboration, Tang Jun couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "An extended, extra-long paper, a cover photo, and now a special issue."

"Ah, Mr. Yan, we’ve broken every rule we possibly could for you."

"But I like this kind of rule-breaking."

"I very much look forward to our journal breaking many, many more rules and conventions for you in the future..."

After seeing Tang Jun off, Yan Feifan, in front of Dr. Qiu Ge, dialed the number for Yu Youlian of Baining Medical Technology.

"Mr. Yu, another patient has been awakened."

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Ah, does this mean I should start making preparations on my end?"

Yan Feifan analyzed the situation, "No need to rush. If everything goes smoothly, with subsequent awakenings and continued observation for any negative side effects, it will still take a month or two."

"I want to confirm our agreement."

Yu Youlian’s voice was firm over the phone. "Mr. Yan, please rest assured on this point."

"For ten units or more, we can control the cost to two million!"

"For fifty units or more, the cost is one and a half million!"

"For one hundred units or more, under one million."

"We’ll split the profits fifty-fifty."

Yu Youlian added, "Mr. Yan, if this device becomes widely popular, effectively helps us break into the international medical equipment market, and raises our international brand recognition, I will give you an additional, generous bonus..."
