Chapter 67: Astonishing Discovery
After inspecting the hospital that evening, Wu Hao found a suitable candidate for his clinical trial. The person was an elderly man in his sixties who was suffering from advanced-stage lung cancer.
The patient had already been receiving treatnt at the hospital for so ti and had undergone various therapies. His condition was now approaching its final stages.
The hospital had already issued a critical condition notice to the patient's family, advising them to prepare for their last eting with him. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the patient's vital signs would likely cease within the next two hours.
"Sir, although I have not obtained your consent for this, if successful, you will gain an extra year or two of life," Wu Hao murmured to himself as he observed the situation in the ward through his ntal perception.
Soon, taking advantage of a mont when the ward was empty, Wu Hao swiftly used his psychic powers to manipulate a vial of dication and slowly injected it into the patient's body using a syringe.
The entire process lasted about two minutes, after which Wu Hao discreetly disposed of the syringe and other items in the hallway's trash bin.
Since it was late at night, apart from a few doctors and nurses occasionally traversing the corridors, few others were present.
Everything Wu Hao did was accomplished using his psychic abilities, and he went unnoticed by anyone.
After about ten more minutes, a nurse who was conducting ward rounds entered the elderly man's room. However, she only perford a routine check and did not notice anything unusual.
In fact, the dication that Wu Hao injected into the elderly man had just begun to take effect. By now, the patient was already in a state of coma, and perhaps only when these drugs completely controlled the cancer cells in his body would he regain consciousness.
The hospital had just issued the critical condition notice to him, and upon receiving the hospital's notification, the patient's family was currently on their way.
"Doctor, is my father really in such a critical condition?" Several n and won of different ages arrived at the hospital's ward about half an hour later and inquired with the attending doctor.
"Your father experienced a relapse before. Despite tily treatnt, given the current condition, it is unlikely he will survive tonight," the doctor replied with deep regret.
However, at that mont, the nurse who was performing routine checks on the patient suddenly saw the elderly man awaken and hurriedly called out to the doctor outside, "Dr. Zhou, the patient has regained consciousness!"
Dr. Zhou, who was conversing with the patient's family, was clearly taken aback upon hearing this because, given the patient's condition, the chances of waking up were extrely low.
The last eting was ntioned only for the family's sake, and whether the patient would be able to have that final encounter was no longer guaranteed.
Afterward, despite still being weak, the elderly man showed significant improvent compared to the previous days.
This is because the cancer cells in his body have been controlled by the dication injected by Wu Hao. Although this elent itself does not have the ability to kill the virus, it can encapsulate these viruses, preventing them from continuing to grow and stopping them from damaging the body.
It prevents the further division and growth of these cancer cells, protecting the body.
The dication developed by Wu Hao is a type that can disguise itself as a certain type of cell in the human body and attach to various organs. Therefore, the body's immune system does not attack them.
The duration of this process will continue until the day when they completely dissipate. At that ti, if these cancer cells spread again, they will beco more resistant to the dication. Unless any unforeseen circumstances occur, they will face a formidable battle against the immune system.
anwhile, the doctor on the side inquired about the patient and proceeded to conduct an examination. The results of this examination greatly surprised him.
Because through the preliminary examination, he discovered that the cancer cells, which had previously spread severely within the patient's body, had miraculously been controlled by so elent.
"How is this possible!" the doctor exclaid.
"Doctor, what's going on? By the way, my father has regained consciousness. How is he doing now?"
The doctor regained his composure upon hearing this and replied, "For now, I can only tell you that your father's condition has been stabilized, and there shouldn't be any danger for the next few days. To draw a definite conclusion, we need to conduct further thorough examinations."
Upon hearing the doctor's words, the family mbers of the patient also breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, they knew that their grandfather's illness was impossible to cure.
But if they could find a way to extend his life by one more day, it would be an act of filial piety from their perspective as children.
Of course, this situation was possible only because of their financial circumstances. Otherwise, just the cost of hospitalization alone was a significant expense, not to ntion the treatnt costs that easily reached hundreds of thousands.
Moreover, whatever the hospital said, that was what it would be. There was absolutely no opportunity to negotiate the fees.
It's not an exaggeration to say that hospitals nowadays are purely business-oriented. Whatever they say, are you going to haggle and offer less?
Even if soone is usually thrifty, once they enter the hospital, they must pay what is due, even more sotis.
Hospitals nowadays always demand paynt first before providing treatnt. If you don't have the money, then sorry, you have to wait in line and let the next person co forward.
Although there have been so healthcare reform asures in recent years to regulate this aspect, how many hospitals can truly prioritize treating patients instead of discussing paynt?
That evening, the doctor and other dical staff on duty conducted a complete examination of the patient once again. The final results surprised them even more.
Their research revealed that the cancer cells currently controlled by so elent within the patient's body would not relapse for at least the next year.
This discovery was trendous for them! It ant complete control over all cancer cells, not just a portion.
Compared to the dications they had used before, it was like being miles ahead.
However, although they were shocked and excited, they still couldn't understand the composition of the elent within the patient's body or where it ca from.
