On this day at Zijinshan Sanatorium for Cadres, the atmosphere here was grand. Many medical experts were present and gathered in the yard in front of Villa No. 3, talking about it.
"Ah, Lao Chen, you are here too"
"Nonsense, can I not come? I heard that a young man is going to perform genetic surgery on the old mother of Secretary Yan of the Provincial Party Committee today. Is it true?" This old Chen is not a medical expert in the sanatorium, but an outsider.
People from the hospital came after hearing the news.
"Yes, it seems that it has alarmed a lot of people."
"Hey, can you tell me the truth? Who is this young man? Is he so awesome? The secretary of the provincial party committee agrees with his nonsense?"
"Hey, a dead horse is a living horse doctor"
"Shh, keep your voice down"
"I guess that's the case." The voices of the people beside him turned out to be a bit softer.
"That's not necessarily the case." Another person, after hearing their discussion, joined in and said, "This young man is the director of the Ginkgo Hospital that made a fuss a few days ago. I heard that he is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and has superb medical skills.
Very”
"What? A Chinese medicine practitioner? A Chinese medicine practitioner coming to perform genetic surgery?" Suddenly, many people gathered around him curiously.
Director Liu of the nursing home said: "That young man's knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine is indeed profound. Last time I saw it with my own eyes, he had one needle for five points."
Suddenly, many experts who were proficient in traditional Chinese medicine took a breath of air-conditioning. Hey, good guys, it really is not a fault. They all tried to match their own level. Some experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors found that their "one acupuncture and two acupuncture points" were still effective.
If you can barely do it, "one acupuncture at three points", then you can only rely on luck occasionally. However, you can still rely on luck to treat diseases and save people? Isn't that making fun of the patient's life? Unless there is really no other way, otherwise
, the patient’s family members can tear you apart.
Some people who were only proficient in Western medicine asked one after another what "one needle and five points" meant. Then, someone introduced it to them, and they suddenly understood
"Traditional Chinese medicine is great, so is Western medicine equally great? Can it perform such a difficult 'molecular surgery' as gene therapy? I wouldn't believe it even to death."
"The most important thing is that gene therapy technology is not mature at all. The success rate this time, I dare say, is no more than one percent."
"One percent? I'm afraid not even one thousandth."
"I remember that thirteen years ago, there was an 18-year-old American young man named Jesse Gelsinger, who suffered from the rare hereditary disease of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency in Pennsylvania, USA.
State University Human Gene Therapy Center, received gene therapy, but unfortunately died. This was the first reported patient to die from gene therapy. Since then, there have been countless death cases caused by gene therapy. Almost nine out of ten patients died after treatment.
"
"Yeah, a typical narrow escape"
"This is because everyone's genome is slightly different. Even if a successful drug is obtained on one patient, it may not be effective for the same disease on another person. Genetic surgery may even be life-threatening.
There is no pattern at all, it’s extremely weird.”
"No, it's not that there are no rules, but that the human genome has not been completely unraveled. Its operating mechanism, gene regulation mechanism, and molecular mechanism of disease have not been thoroughly studied, so this situation has occurred."
"At present, no matter which kind of gene therapy is in the early clinical trial stage, there is no stable efficacy and complete safety."
"It's not that there is no safety, but the risk is quite high and quite dangerous. If anything goes wrong, it could be a matter of human life."
"I know that there is a gene therapy medical case in France. It is about a three-year-old boy who suffers from severe combined immunodeficiency disease. These children lack the white blood cells necessary to fight infection in their bodies, usually less than one year old.
He would die at an early age. The boy received gene therapy, which was successful, tolerated it well, and showed signs of normal immunity.
However, it didn’t take long for the medical expert team to detect that the French child suddenly suffered from a cancer similar to leukemia after the gene therapy was declared successful. According to research, this cancer was caused by gene therapy.
The tiger is rejected through the front door, but the wolf is admitted through the back door.”
"Yes, gene therapy is very risky."
…
The experts started talking about each other, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly. Firstly, they were afraid of disturbing the patients in the villa, and secondly, there was a big boss inside.
Yan Jingchen, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, naturally has to be present in person at this time
In addition, there are several aunts and uncles of Yan Xueqin, some cousins, Yan Xueqin and Yan Xueming, Le Jiuxi, and many relatives. Even Wang Zhipeng from far away in the capital came.
While waiting in the living room, Mrs. Yan was resting in the ward under the supervision of several nurses.
If nothing else, if the operation fails today, it will be the last time, so they have to wait.
"Sister, how confident is Ye Qing today?" Sensing the dull atmosphere in the room, Le Jiuxi quietly pulled Yan Xueqin's clothes and whispered in her ear.
"Don't ask me, I'm very upset right now." Yan Xueqin sighed softly, then picked up the teacup and drank to relieve the tension.
"Don't you even have confidence in Ye Qing?" Le Jiuxi asked.
Yan Xueqin: "..."
At the same time, Yan Xueming was extremely unhappy. He pulled one of his aunts and whispered in a low voice: "Auntie, why do you think you let that kid do experiments on my grandma? I have asked the experts a long time ago. There is no such thing as gene therapy.
It’s unreliable, and the origin of his genetic potion is unknown, and it has never been tested or certified by the Food and Drug Administration.”
Yan Xueqin's mother has passed away long ago, but she has two younger sisters. This third aunt is one of them. She usually dotes on Yan Xueming the most. At this time, she whispered: "Your grandma really can't hold off any longer. Even if the operation is not performed now,
I'm afraid..., besides, this is your father's decision."
Yan Xueming glanced at Yan Jingchen beside him and saw that his father was smoking non-stop with a serious look on his face. Yan Xueming did not dare to come forward and speak at all.
This father has been extremely strict with him since he was a child, and Yan Xueming, who likes his sister more than him, can't help but murmur in his heart at times that this is the attraction of opposite sexes. Fathers generally like their daughters, and they are simply inferior to boys. In fact, he is stupid.
I don’t know, but Yan Xueqin is much more sensible than him. Parents naturally like the obedient and sensible one.
At the same time, many relatives and friends in the living room inevitably whispered to each other in private and discussed some situations.
