Chapter 1484: Chapter 1111 Allergies
Since Sanbo Hospital established its own animal laboratory, conducting experints has beco very convenient. The newly engineered virus for gene therapy targeting tumors was imdiately put into animal experints.
This virus was very effective on experintal pigs, which excited everyone greatly. It indicated that this research path was correct, and it was becoming increasingly clear, advancing at a visible speed. It ventured far in overthrowing existing tumor treatnt thods. Once successful, many tumor drugs currently on the market would face the risk of being replaced.
Ever since the system recovered, Yang Ping would read books in the system whenever he had ti. However, due to the current low system points, large-scale experints could not be conducted, and he could only continue to slowly accumulate points.
Because of Yang Ping’s outstanding academic performance, the higher-ups intended for him to succeed Dean Xia as the dean of Sanbo Hospital in the future. Eventually, Dean Xia would retire. However, Yang Ping refused this goodwill from the higher-ups. Yang Ping had no interest in “Excelling in academia leads to an official position.” He only wanted to be a good doctor and do good research.
Dean Xia, only a few years away from retirent age, had to prepare in advance to find a qualified successor. Dean Xia was well aware that Sanbo Hospital’s managent achievents and its inclusive and free academic environnt were largely due to his contribution. Replacing him with another dean, such as bringing in the forr dean of the City People’s Hospital, could turn Sanbo Hospital into a chaotic place like the City People’s Hospital. Therefore, he had to prepare in advance and ensure that Sanbo Hospital, which was difficult to establish, would not be destroyed by others after his retirent.
The higher-ups also placed great importance on Yang Ping, hence the idea of letting him take over the dean’s position in the future. However, Dean Xia knew Yang Ping had no interest in the dean position, so he had to find soone else. After looking around and finding no candidate, Dean Xia decided to establish a good system at Sanbo Hospital. With a good system, the staff could always push the right person to the dean’s position. But how should this system be designed, and would the higher-ups agree? Dean Xia had to think carefully about this, deciding to accomplish this task before retiring.
“Xiao Yang, I respect your choice. Excelling in academia doesn’t necessarily lead to an official position; you can continue to excel further,” said Dean Xia thoughtfully.
Yang Ping was very grateful that Dean Xia could understand him: “Thank you for understanding.”
After seeing off Dean Xia, the chief resident ca to report that a patient in the International dical Center was urgently sent to the ICU, requiring Professor Yang to have a look.
“Which patient?” Yang Ping asked. Having so information in advance was better than rushing in blindly, even if it was very limited information.
“Lucas, it’s been five days since the surgery last night. He was doing well postoperatively, then suddenly they called saying he was urgently sent to the ICU.”
Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were still in surgery, so Yang Ping, with a graduate student, rushed to the ICU of the International dical Center to see what was going on with this patient.
Upon entering the ICU, Director Wang imdiately approached, “Professor Yang, the situation is a bit complex. Please co in and take a look first.”
This ICU was special for the International dical Departnt, and the costs were staggering. However, international friends who ca here for treatnt usually weren’t short on money, so they didn’t care about such expenses.
Director Wang was hemming and hawing, unable to clearly explain the situation for a long ti. Yang Ping had already arrived at Lucas’s ward. This patient had both eyes swirling. All data on the bedside guard screen was completely normal; this guy seed fine.
“What’s the situation?”
Yang Ping asked while examining the patient.
“Yesterday, he accidentally ate peanut butter. He used to have peanut allergies in the United States, experiencing three anaphylactic shocks, nearly taking his life. So, after knowing he ate peanut butter this ti, he beca very nervous and imdiately told our on-duty doctor he needed rescue. After checking, the on-duty doctor found nothing abnormal but, considering his past dical history, dared not take it lightly and imdiately transferred him to the ICU for observation, just in case anaphylaxis occurred, it could be promptly rescued,” the physician in charge imdiately introduced the illness.
Yang Ping, while reviewing the dical records and listening to the attending physician’s introduction, noted that the patient currently had no allergic symptoms. This allergy was typically imdiate, rarely delayed. The symptoms would normally appear quickly, but he seed fine.
Yang Ping, in fact, understood well that Europeans and Aricans were more prone to allergies than Chinese people. So things that seed ordinary to us might be deadly to them, such as peanut butter.
There were actually two reasons for this: One was that Europeans and Aricans were indeed more likely to be allergic to certain substances. Compared to Chinese, they had a higher sensitivity constitution and weren’t as tolerant to external substances. Another reason was that many things in Europe, especially the United States, had significant issues themselves. For example, their peanut butter was roasted, while most of ours was boiled or fried. Roasted peanuts were much more allergenic than boiled or fried ones, and the pesticide residues on Arican peanuts were generally higher.
For Europeans and Aricans, a constitution prone to allergies combined with allergenic peanut butter exponentially increased the risk of allergies. Of course, it was mainly due to the high-sensitivity constitution.
“Have you used peanut butter for an allergen test?” Yang Ping asked.
“Yes! Negative!”
Then, transfer him back to the general ward. Even if delayed allergy occurs, the general ward can handle it in ti. It is not feasible to keep him in the ICU, wasting dical resources as the ICU beds are limited.
“Doctor, I won’t die, right?” Lucas asked nervously.
Yang Ping shook his head, “It’s not that serious. Based on the current situation, you haven’t developed any allergic symptoms.”
“But — but in the United States, eating peanut butter gives a severe rash and requires rescue on three occasions, nearly taking my life.”
“Possibly, Chinese peanut butter is different from Arican peanut butter.”
“So what should I do?”
“You can be transferred back to a general ward. Even if a delayed allergic reaction occurs later, the doctors and nurses in the general ward are fully capable of handling it.”
“Okay, this is the first ti I’ve accidentally eaten peanut butter without having allergic symptoms. It’s truly amazing; could it be that I no longer need to fear peanut butter?”
“No, you only temporarily don’t need to fear Chinese peanut butter while in China. It doesn’t an you no longer fear peanut butter. If you return to Arica, peanut butter will still be a potential danger and could threaten your life.”
“Why is it like this, why is it like this?” Lucas kept repeating.
“Transfer him back,” Yang Ping instructed the attending physician.
A graduate student in the ICU was very curious, “Professor Yang, can I do a study on the differences and principles of peanut butter allergy between Chinese and Arican people?”
“Of course, you can. This way, won’t you have your graduation thesis? However, writing this thesis might be a bit troubleso. You need to go to the United States to investigate and study Aricans and Arican peanut butter. The cost of this topic is a bit high,” Director Wang told the graduate student.
The graduate student smiled awkwardly.
