I, Doctor in the US

Eastern Magic City.

Endocrinology Department at Changzheng Hospital.

Attending physician Zhang Xing came in with a package.

"Hey, anyone here know someone named Zhou Mo Sen? He sent a cross-national express parcel from the United States."

"Huh? No, I don't know him."

"Wait a minute... did you say Zhou Mo Sen?"

"Why, do you know him?"

A few doctors in the department had just started their shift and were now somewhat idle.

But upon seeing this package, they were all a bit confused.

After all, it was sent from the United States.

Fortunately, it seemed someone had heard of the name Zhou Mo Sen.

"I remember he seems to be a plastic surgeon, quite well-known in the U.S."

"Really? A plastic surgeon... Why, is someone in our department looking for cosmetic surgery?"

Zhang Xing's words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the department.

There are not many women in their department, mostly men.

Male cosmetic surgery... actually, there are quite a few cases in the U.S., the most famous being the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Cuban.

This guy even went for breast augmentation to emphasize his masculinity.

Here in China, male cosmetic surgery is not common, and those who do usually have pathological reasons, like injuries.

So, the laughter was indeed normal.

But after laughing... Zhang Xing already opened the package.

Inside was a stack of A4 papers bound together.

Just from the thickness of it... it strangely reminded him of cardiology medical records.

Whether it's internal or external cardiology, the most famous aspect is actually the medical records.

Heart disease patients often have very hefty medical records, and hospitals usually keep them on file. Later, when handling special chronic diseases, they have to be printed out.

Those are as thick as large dictionaries.

The stack of papers here gives off that feel.

But, the cover reads:

Treatment Plan for Curing Diabetes via Autologous Pancreatic Stem Cell Transplantation.

This... Zhang Xing's eyes instantly widened!

What's going on?

Curing diabetes?

Indeed, in today's medical field, many people worldwide are researching this topic.

But those that can truly show effectiveness or have a bright future.

There are just a few.

Such as pancreas transplantation.

Full transplants are actually rare.

But, even with full transplants, the subsequent results aren't as good.

No more patients then.

This stack of paper is probably a thesis.

And this thesis aims to cure diabetes?

The title mentions autologous pancreatic stem cells?

Zhang Xing, although surprised, was intrigued.

Opening it, there's a preface.

The gist is that Dr. Zhou Mo Sen, though a plastic surgeon in the United States, is also a general surgeon.

He currently proposed a plan to treat diabetes, and this plan requires multi-faceted validation.

In short, it's best to conduct clinical trials.

Of course, such trials will be conducted in the United States, but they also hope China can participate.

He also said he is Chinese and hopes to contribute to the development of the homeland's medical field.

That's quite commendable.

But this method, is it reliable?

Going further, Zhang Xing was utterly stunned!

How to get the stem cells?

Not taken from the pancreas, but isolated from blood!

This is quite imaginative.

Besides, the biggest advantage of doing this is that it's immensely beneficial for the patient.

It's just a blood draw, no surgery needed.

Then what?

Of course, isolate the cells we need.

Afterward, we induce these cells.

Turn them into pancreatic stem cells!

This step... it's highly imaginative!

But does it end here?

How to reintegrate them into the body?

Injection?

This, this... huh?

Not injected back into the pancreas, but into the liver!

This, this, this...

"Good heavens!"

Zhang Xing shouted, leaving the department doctors dumbfounded.

What's going on with him?

Quickly, Zhang Xing showed everyone this 'thesis'."

It's essentially a plan for treating diabetes.

And upon seeing it,

immediately they felt a sense of enlightenment!

Is it possible?

Yes!

The headway promptly said, "Quickly, get in touch with this Dr. Zhou!"

Yes, we need to have a thorough academic exchange.

...

Irvine.

The plan Zhou Mo Sen sent back to the country... actually became the plan used by Changzheng Hospital later!

Indeed, he's a general surgeon, not specializing in diabetes, but he had heard about Changzheng Hospital's plan.

After all, a feasible plan to cure diabetes is incredibly tempting!

However, the plan also has some issues.

And this issue... an overseas call arrived.

It was from Changzheng Hospital.

"Dr. Zhou, we really appreciate you. Your action truly reflects internationalism spirit."

"No, no, this isn't about internationalism, it's something a Chinese should do."

First, a bit of modesty.

Then, we discuss the crux of the matter.

This treatment plan isn't perfect; there are quite a few problems.

First, this is still a transplantation.

Though not an organ transplant, it's still a transplant, requiring immunosuppressants.

This is almost mandatory for transplant patients.

So, this lowered immunity is a 'side effect'.

Can it be accepted?

Furthermore, the stem cells are induced.

Upon entering the body, could they possibly mutate?

Meaning, is there a chance they could become cancerous?

Don't assume this can't happen.

It's genuinely possible.

Thus, these two points are already quite challenging.

What's needed for this plan?

It requires monitoring and more clinical cases for verification.

This time, Zhou Mo Sen sent the plan back home, partly as a doctor's conscientious act.

The plan was originally Changzheng Hospital's.

His actions would also benefit China.

On the other hand, he planned to conduct the same in the U.S.

Many patients are needed for experimentation.

And there's a crucial aspect.

This wasn't originally Huang Xinxiang's plan.

So, Zhou Mo Sen essentially holds the patent to this plan.

Even though it's a treatment plan, and patents itself aren't protected, in the medical field, it's expected to be open.

The kind of open-source that some groups later advocated.

Am I Zhou Mo Sen the Musk of medicine?

Actually, there are many detailed studies within the plan.

Therefore, Dr. Zhou holds the core technology!

Huang Wanhao and those investors can't fully control Zhou Mo Sen.

Using their funds for research and further refinement of the treatment plan.

It's a win-win... Zhou Mo Sen wins multiple times!

Of course, there's another potential benefit.

If this plan succeeds in China, wouldn't Zhou Mo Sen be considered a significant contributor to the country?

In the future, be it business or other endeavors, it'll certainly be more convenient!

Zhou Mo Sen, this guy, is sharp-minded.

Thus, he had some discussions with many experts from Shanghai, and for more detailed issues, he could send files over later.

Very pleased.

But at this moment, Dr. Huang Rongbing came over.

"What's going on? Why are you in such a rush?"

Zhou Mo Sen noticed that Dr. Huang's expression wasn't quite right.

Huang Rongbing was indeed different from usual, immediately hastily saying, "Dr. Zhou, several doctors and experts have made negative comments about our project!"

Oh, is that so.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mo Sen actually laughed.
