Chapter 1109 The Patient's Identity
Chen Yang's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a thousand waves in the demonstration hall.
"He...what did he say? He's willing to take on FOP patients?"
"This is myositis ossificans progressiva! It's a world problem! How dare he make such a promise?"
"Is it arrogance, or is it really confident?"
There was a lot of discussion in the audience, with various languages interweaving, full of disbelief and strong curiosity.
The shutter sounds of reporters' cameras rang out one after another, frantically capturing Chen Yang's calm expression and the sudden changes in the faces of the experts from Country H on the stage.
Robert and Stevenson looked at each other, and saw great shock in each other's eyes.
As leading Western medicine experts, they are all too aware of the horrors of FOP and the current inability of medicine. Chen Yang's actions are tantamount to walking a tightrope; if he fails, his previously accumulated reputation could be severely damaged.
Ichiro Yamamoto was shocked at first, then a hint of admiration and worry flashed in his eyes. He had seen Chen Yang create miracles, but the challenge he faced this time was no small matter.
Wen Haodong and Xun Jiahong were also shocked. They didn't expect Chen Yang to make such a direct promise.
Wen Haodong subconsciously wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xun Jiahong with a look.
Xun Jiahong whispered, "Since Master dares to say that, he must have his reasons."
Jin Minzhe's face instantly turned gloomy. Chen Yang's words were a blatant challenge to the authority of their Korean Medicine International Medical Center, implying that their treatment might encounter a bottleneck and someone else would need to take over!
This completely changed the flavor of the finale they had carefully prepared.
Park Jung-hwan was so angry that his beard trembled. He had lived for most of his life and was hailed as a master of traditional Chinese medicine. When had he ever suffered such "humiliation"?
He slammed the table in front of him and shouted angrily, "Dr. Chen! You really don't take me seriously! This patient's condition is steadily improving under our treatment. How can you say there's a 'bottleneck'? Are you cursing my patient?"
Facing Park Jung-hwan's anger, Chen Yang still maintained that heart-wrenching calmness.
Chen Yang smiled and said calmly, "Master Park, calm down. How can this be a curse? Medical exploration is endless, and any treatment plan may have room for optimization."
"I raise this point out of a sense of responsibility for patients. FOP is a complex and ever-changing disease. Current treatments that are effective do not guarantee sustained suppression of ossification."
"What if?"
Chen Yang paused and continued, "And practice is based on theory, not rash practice."
"The pathogenesis of 'liver and kidney essence and blood deficiency' that I based my theory on is not groundless."
"If my judgment is correct, the patient's apparent improvement is likely a false impression of 'temporary recovery' of 'deficient yang'. The foundation is not yet solid, like a tree without roots or a fire without a source. Once the underlying problem of essence and blood depletion erupts, the condition may relapse or even take a sharp turn for the worse."
"Master Park, please give yourself some leeway. I've already been being friendly with what I said."
Chen Yang's eyes swept across the entire room and finally landed on the patient in the wheelchair. He glanced at the patient in the wheelchair.
"The reason I offered to take over is to leave another way out and more hope for this patient and all those suffering from this disease."
The purpose of medicine is to save lives, not to achieve short-term success. If Master Park's treatments continue to be successful and his patients recover, it will be a blessing for all of humanity. I welcome this success and sincerely admire him. My commitment is merely an insurance policy, a courageous willingness to share responsibility when necessary."
These words instantly opened up the situation.
Chen Yang didn't dwell on theoretical arguments, but instead shifted the focus back to the "patients," demonstrating a patient-centered medical ethic and a bold sense of responsibility. In contrast, Park Jung-hwan's anger seemed petty and overly concerned with preserving his own reputation.
Many neutral international scholars in the audience nodded and expressed their appreciation for Chen Yang's broad-mindedness and responsibility.
"Dr. Chen is right. Medicine should be about collaboration, not confrontation."
"For this rare disease, it's good for patients that there's another top team paying attention to it."
"This courage and responsibility is admirable."
Seeing the atmosphere being turned by Chen Yang, Jin Minzhe quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and took the microphone: "Dr. Chen's compassionate heart is touching. Our Korean Medicine International Medical Center also always regards the welfare of patients as our highest goal. Regarding the follow-up treatment of this patient, we will naturally do our best."
"Today's case presentation is mainly to share some of our current experiences and ideas. Thank you Dr. Chen for your valuable advice, which we will seriously consider."
As he spoke, Kim Min-chul frequently winked at Park Jung-hwan.
Is this Master Park stupid, or has he been so immersed in the situation that he has forgotten the patient's identity?
Although Chen Yang's promise may seem contradictory, it undoubtedly provides patients with an additional option.
Others may not know the patient's identity, but Kim Min-cheol and Park Jung-hwan certainly know it.
In fact, this conference in Country H and the International Korean Medicine Medical Center have supporters behind the scenes. At least half of the reason for this international conference is to find hope for treatment for the elderly.
Park Jung-hwan was startled and shut up instantly.
He glanced at the old man sitting in the wheelchair and quickly put aside his competitive spirit with Chen Yang.
The old man's eyelids moved, and the staff beside him quickly pushed the wheelchair away. Chen Yang stared at the leaving old man, thinking about something.
"Master, this patient is not simple." Xun Jiahong whispered.
Although the old man looked sick, he was well-dressed and the wheelchair he sat in was the latest high-tech product.
"He is the head of the Hanxing Group in Country H."
Chen Yang whispered, "You didn't notice that when the patient came in, the reporters from Country H stopped taking pictures."
"Hanxing Group?" Wen Haodong was surprised.
Hanxing Group is the largest conglomerate in Country H. Hanxing Group has a very high status in Country H. It can be said to be the largest capital of Country H and has tremendous power.
It's just that this helmsman is relatively low-key, and he hasn't appeared in public for a long time after he fell ill. The contrast between before and after the illness is quite large. Not to mention that most foreigners couldn't recognize him, even many H people couldn't recognize him for a while.
Chen Yang recognized the head of Hanxing Group because he had seen his photo once before.
This is exactly what Chen Yang meant when he asked Park Jung-hwan to leave him some leeway.
The old man left the debate hall and entered a VIP room not far away. As soon as he entered the VIP room, someone came to greet him.
"dad."
A young man in his thirties stepped forward.
"Ah."
The old man nodded slightly and said softly, "Please help me make an appointment with Doctor Chen. I will treat Doctor Chen to dinner tonight."
"Okay." The young man responded quickly.
