Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 314 - 207: I’ve Become a Research Subject—This Is Absurd!
Chapter 207: I’ve Become a Research Subject, It’s Just Ridiculous!
In the past, humans found it extremely difficult to even perform the most basic disinfection after being injured.
When wounds were exposed to a bacterial environment for long periods, they could only rely on their own immune systems to resist, hoping for healing.
But if the injury was severe, or if the patient’s immunity was weak, what awaited them was infection, viruses invading the blood and organs, leading to eventual death.
We’ve often seen scenes like this in anti-Japanese war films, showcasing how crucial penicillin was for soldiers, a life-saving drug money couldn’t buy.
During the war, Jiuzhou Country faced a severe lack of resources. Soldiers often didn’t have enough food, and medical conditions were extremely poor, resulting in many deaths due to lack of treatment.
It was then that penicillin appeared, possessing excellent medicinal properties and serving as a miracle drug for wounded soldiers, saving their lives in time.
However, the miraculous effect of penicillin left many puzzled.
What sort of drug was it, after all?
Why was it so magical?
During World War II, penicillin was regarded as a military-controlled drug. Even though relations between China and America were good at the time, getting hold of some in America was rare.
Penicillin was extremely scarce, rarely available for sale, with most transactions happening in private.
Furthermore, its price was extremely high. Even when continuously available, a single dose could sell for 4 silver dollars.
When it was out of stock, no amount of money could buy it!
And this so-called "more expensive than gold" ’Penicillin,’ was actually the earliest form of an antibiotic.
Penicillin!
It was known by the Chinese name Pan Ni Xi Lin.
Though we now view bacterial infections with little concern,
In those days, bacterial infections could be fatal and were beyond treatment, thus the development of this drug greatly advanced medicine, saving countless lives.
After the 1990s, scientists expanded the scope of antibiotics, collectively naming them biological pharmaceuticals.
Mainly used to treat various bacterial or pathogenic microbe infections, these usually do not cause severe side effects to the host.
In 1944, Streptomycin, the second antibiotic, was isolated at the University of New Jersey. It effectively cured another terrible infectious disease: tuberculosis.
In 1947, Chloramphenicol appeared, mainly targeting dysentery and anthrax bacteria, treating mild infections.
In 1948, Tetracycline was introduced, the earliest broad-spectrum antibiotic.
In 1956, Eli Lilly and Company invented Vancomycin.
It has been referred to as the last weapon of antibiotics!
Nowadays, the development of antibiotics has reached an extremely subdivided and exaggerated level.
Antibiotics are secondary metabolic products produced by living organisms (including bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes) or higher plants and animals during their life processes, capable of interfering with the growth functions of other living cells.
Thus, based on different allergens, and types of diseases, antibiotics have been applied to various extents and among different populations.
Of course,
antibiotics have made an indelible contribution to the development of human medicine, even changing history!
But everything has two sides...
With the widespread use and mass production of antibiotics, not only ordinary people regarded them as life-saving drugs, but even many doctors thought the same.
Not to mention the global desire and demand for antibiotics at that time!
On October 18, 2011,
The Jiuzhou Health Ministry announced that in Jiuzhou Country alone, the antibiotic usage rate among patients reached 70%, twice that of Europe and America, with less than 20% genuinely needing it. Preventative use of antibiotics is a typical misuse of them.
Thus,
antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microbes emerged and continued to increase until general antibiotics became completely ineffective.
The emergence of these resistant bacteria has severely limited the treatment options for many infectious diseases, reducing them further and further.
Moreover, resistant bacteria have been strengthening with the effectiveness of antibiotics, leading to the birth of bacteria so powerful that they terrify humans.
Superbugs!
Presently, many superbugs have become entities discussed in medical circles with trepidation. Once their infectivity, morbidity, and mortality spread among humans, it would be an absolute nightmare!
Human evolution lags far behind bacteria and viruses.
Therefore, as numerous antibiotics in clinical settings begin weakening and losing efficacy, patients ultimately have to resort to more expensive antibiotics or face death.
Now, various countries and international health organizations are taking measures to actively address the research and use of antibiotics.
On the one hand, they are controlling the dosage of antibiotics clinically, switching to other alternative medicines to slow down the speed of virus resistance.
On the other hand, they are accelerating the research and production of new antibiotics to resolve the issue of outdated ones failing.
If there were no antibiotics, many diseases would be untreatable.
What an awkward situation!
And Qin Feng himself never expected the reward to be so outrageous this time.
The first thing was such a monstrous item!
"I wonder what level this antibiotic can reach; just the universal category alone would drive the entire world mad."
He couldn’t help but swallow, whispering in shock.
This must be well-preserved, and once he’s settled in Beijing, he will personally establish a research team to conduct development and testing on this antibiotic.
Everything must be conducted secretly!
If this were leaked, even with a system in place, he might not escape the nation’s attention.
He still wasn’t ready to live a life under an alias!
"What is this second ’Full Blood Type’ blood?"
Looking at the next reward in his mind, Qin Feng was a bit puzzled.
[Full Blood Type Blood: After fusion, the host’s type O blood will become full blood type, accepting infusion from any blood type, including rare ones, or infusing others with the host’s blood.]
[Ding! Fuse Full Blood Type Blood?]
Upon hearing the system’s explanation, he understood.
After all, this full blood type blood means that his own blood will overcome the barrier of blood type incompatibility, becoming a special blood type capable of fusing with all blood types.
In the future, if he needs blood transfusions while injured, all blood types could donate to him.
Likewise, his blood would become universal, usable by anyone.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng’s previously calm heart resumed pounding!
It’s just insane!
If anyone else knew, wouldn’t he be seized for research until drained?
Full blood type blood!
This is yet another unknown field that the global medical community has yet to conquer.
And at this moment, he would become the first!
It’s important to understand if there were truly no blood type restrictions, anyone breaking through this field would be revered as a deity in the medical world!
Unique and unmatched! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Even more outrageous than the invention of antibiotics.
For emergency rescue, it’s practically divine intervention!
Those outside the medical profession cannot comprehend how crucial plasma is during emergencies and surgeries; it’s life itself.
Right now, every hospital’s blood bank and the provincial blood bank center are perpetually in a state of short supply regarding various blood types.
Should major injuries occur, reserves could be depleted citywide in mere moments.
Like the amusement park incident in Jiangcheng and the food street explosion, within 3 hours, from hospital to provincial blood bank center, all blood reserves were swiftly exhausted!
If not for emergency blood donations, who knows how many would have died.
But without blood type restrictions, connecting all blood supplies would save countless lives!
At this moment,
Qin Feng truly felt overwhelmed~
Such a reward turns him into a living research subject.
Yet, as a medical professional, he knew this was the future of medicine, the future of humanity.
If he abandoned the fusion, he would remain the ordinary Qin Feng.
But would he get another chance for such a reward?
Would he regret it?
Yes!
He surely would!
Subsequently, Qin Feng calmed down, his gaze becoming increasingly determined.
’Fuse!’
Damn it!
If being a research subject is what it takes, so be it!
With the system in hand, it seems he’s destined to clash with the medical community for life!
[Ding! Fusion of Full Blood Type Blood starts, 1%...10%...30%...]
The system’s notification sounded in his mind, and the next second, Qin Feng’s body began to warm up slowly. As the fusion progressed, the heat intensified, as though his blood was boiling.
Uncomfortable!
"Damn~"
He gritted his teeth, unable to resist cursing under his breath.
This was somewhat more painful than he had anticipated!
Fortunately, the business class provided individual cabins, sparing others from witnessing his abnormal reactions.
Two minutes later,
[Ding! Full Blood Type Blood Fusion Successful!]
Finally enduring the system notification during the ordeal, the heat within him rapidly subsided, replaced by a cool sensation sweeping over his body.
"Huh~"
He couldn’t help but shiver, exhaling a long breath of relief, a look of eager anticipation on his face,
"Let’s see what the last treasure is, hehe!"
