After coming back again, the baby finally looked like a normal baby.

But that wrinkled, dark appearance looked really ugly, even a bit earth-shatteringly ugly, and in the newborn's face, Du Heng actually saw a trace of old-fashionedness in a trance.

But this is not actually the main reason why Du Heng returned again.

Du Heng's hands are now very sensitive to touch, so when he was giving first aid to the newborn just now, he could clearly feel the newborn's heart beating with his hand on the newborn's chest.

It was the beating of this heart that made Du Heng feel a little surprised.

The heartbeat of a normal person is more obvious in the middle and lower part of the sternum, to the left. In a newborn, it is about the same, but not as obvious as the left one, and is closer to the middle.

Because normal people are left-sided, this is common sense.

But just now, Du Heng felt in the palm of his hand that the newborn's heartbeat, although it was also in the middle, felt slightly to the right.

This feeling is very faint, but to Du Heng, this subtle difference is already obvious: this child's heart is on the right side, which means that this child is dextrocardia.

People with dextrocardia are not common in this world, but there are actually quite a few of them. Normally, there is no impact.

But in the final analysis, dextrocardia is a heart malformation, and there is a high probability of congenital cardiovascular malformation, so the sooner this is detected, the better.

Even if everything is fine, people with dextrocardia are best not to engage in high-intensity or strenuous activities.

So Du Heng came back this time to verify what he had just felt and to accurately find out whether this child was dextrocardia.

Under normal circumstances, Chinese medicine practitioners will not perform pulse examinations on newborns, or even children under three years old, because the internal organs of such young children have not yet been filled with Qi, so the pulse is not very clear. Overall,

Mainly float, number, string and slide.

Therefore, using the pulse condition of an adult to correspond to the pulse condition of a child is really a huge difference.

In addition, the internal organs of such a young child are full of vitality and develop rapidly, so the pulse beats much faster than that of adults.

In addition, children's wrists are short and the distance between the inches and feet is not obvious. It is impossible to use the common three fingers to check the pulse. They can only use one finger to take the pulse, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of identification.

Therefore, for such a young child who cannot yet speak, traditional Chinese medicine can only focus on the four diagnostic methods of inspection, smell, inquiry, and incision, including facial expression, complexion, body shape, bowel movements, and fingerprints.

Although Du Heng is a little better than others in this aspect, his strength is actually limited. After all, for newborns, they have no so-called pulse at this time, and their pulse is chaotic.

Therefore, the only inspection left for Du Heng is a physical examination.

The results of the examination are consistent with the feeling just now. Although the difference is very small, there is indeed a left-right gap that is different from that of normal newborns.

Du Heng took a deep breath and looked at the sleeping newborn. After hesitating for a moment, Du Heng stretched out his index finger and placed it on the child's wrist.

And this touch revealed the longest pulse-taking time Du Heng had ever taken in his career, five minutes, a full five minutes.

Did you find anything in the end?

No, not a single feather was found.

This time Du Heng overestimated himself a little.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Du Heng stood up slowly, but then adjusted his mood and told the doctor next to him what he had discovered, asking him to do a X-ray on the child to confirm his findings.

As Du Heng said now, obstetric doctors regard it as a golden rule, so in addition to routine examinations, they also performed a fluoroscopic examination on the child, which was heavily irradiated.

But there's nothing we can do about it. The conditions here are like this. Many of the facilities are not even as good as the health center. This is a last resort.

Soon, Du Heng's judgment was confirmed. The child's heart was indeed dextrocardia. But the good news was that the heart was very healthy and no other malformations were found.

And this is not the most surprising discovery.

Because through examination, it was discovered that not only did this child's heart grow on the right side, but his spleen also grew on the right side, and the liver and gallbladder organs that should have grown on the right side unexpectedly appeared on the left side.

In other words, his internal organs, just like a normal person looking in the mirror, had a mirror reaction and all grew in reverse.

Mirror baby, a magical existence.

Du Heng looked at the inspection report in his hand, and to be honest, he almost had the urge to drool.

The existence of the Mirror Man is too rare, and the value of research and exploration is too high. If it were placed in China, Du Heng would be confident to create a national-level scientific research project similar to, or even more awesome than, 'Stroke Rehabilitation'.

Moreover, this project is not just for the research and exploration of traditional Chinese medicine like "stroke rehabilitation". It also has very high research value for other projects of modern medicine.

If this child was born in China, just like now, he was born in his own hands, then Du Heng would even be willing to pay for it and arrange a single luxury ward for the mother and child in the hospital to facilitate his follow-up observation and research.

.

But it is a pity that this child was born abroad.

And I only have less than three months before I have to return to my country.

Alas, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

In the next few days, in addition to attending class and seeing a doctor, Du Heng would observe this little guy whenever he had time.

However, a mirror baby just has its organs growing backwards. In other aspects, it is the same as a normal baby. Therefore, it is impossible to make any valuable discoveries in a short period of time, even in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

Possibly.

If you want to get something valuable, you must follow up and observe for a long time to make discoveries.

"Director Du, aren't you in a very high mood?" Sun Xin appeared happily in front of Du Heng again.

Du Heng gave a complicated smile and shook his head slightly, but did not answer Sun Xin's question.

Sun Xin didn't mind either and continued to say with a smile, "I heard that several big companies have found you in the past few days and want to buy your prescriptions at a high price?"

Du Heng sighed and put the mirror baby thing out of his mind, "Three pharmaceutical companies, two laboratories, the highest one paid three million dollars."

The corners of Sun Xin's eyes twitched up unconsciously.

Du Heng is very busy these days, and he knows this.

He also knows very well what these people are here for.

But the price for this prescription was $3 million, which he did not expect.

Three million dollars. When converted into domestic money, this is over ten million dollars.

If Du Heng agrees, he can take the money and return directly to China, even if he retires on the spot.

"Why did they bid so high?" Sun Xin calmed down and asked softly, "Viruses will mutate during the spread. If there is another round of mutation, your prescription will be

Are you no longer using it?"

Du Heng laughed directly, looked at Sun Xin and said cheerfully, "It never changes from its origin. No matter how much this XXXX16 mutates, its underlying logic will not change. That is its path of onset, which is always based on 'evil'."

"Heat disturbs the lungs" is the fundamental starting point.

Even if it mutates, it will only make the symptoms worse and faster, or the evil fever will lurk deeper.

My prescription focuses on clearing away heat and replenishing yin, and goes straight to the root cause of XXXX16.

Therefore, as long as the disease does not develop into a state of infection and death, then my prescription can be consistent in adapting to changes."

The corner of Sun Xin's mouth immediately began to twitch, and after a while he said, "In other words, as long as your recipe is around, the follow-up research on XXXX16 will be completely meaningless?"

Du Heng smiled and said nothing.

Sun Xin immediately lamented, "You are just killing people's existing special medicines, vaccines, and follow-up research with one blow."

"The characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine is to treat the root cause of the disease. As long as I know the underlying logic of the disease, then I can let it change in any way and remain unmoved."

Sun Xin gave a thumbs up, "Then your recipe is not just for three million dollars, but I think it is possible for it to be even thirty million dollars."

But Du Heng shook his head directly, "No matter how valuable it is, curing the disease is the fundamental purpose."

"Really don't want to sell it, or do you want to donate it?"

"Donate." Du Heng said categorically, "Most people in Central and West Africa are threatened by this disease. It should play its role instead of being taken away and shelved."

Sun Xin took a deep breath, "Then your loss will be too great."

Du Heng suddenly sighed and his momentum weakened, "But there is nothing we can do about it.

To say that I am not moved after seeing so much money is to say that I am lying; to say that it does not hurt to reject so much money is even more impossible. It can even be said that my heart is bleeding.

If someone buys a prescription and is willing to develop it and sell it as a finished product, I will agree. After all, with so much money, I will take it back to my country and put it in my foundation. I don’t know how much I can help people with financial problems.

And people who have difficulty seeking medical treatment.

However, they did not agree to my request and wanted to buy it back and hide it, which I could never agree to."

Sun Xin sighed softly and looked at Du Heng with complicated eyes, a mixture of admiration and regret.

Du Heng calmed down for a moment and then continued, "The best way now is actually to contact people myself and come up with finished medicines for sale. In this way, I can not suffer a financial loss and can also complete the mission that this medicine should have.

.

But the procedures involved in making finished medicines are too cumbersome, the water is too deep, and time is not waiting for me, so I can only do this.

Donate the prescriptions to the hospital for internal treatment in the form of decoctions instead of selling them externally. This can save time, reduce costs, and allow the prescriptions to meet patients in the most favorable way."

Sun Xin stared at Du Heng for a long time, which made Du Heng feel a little scared. Then he smiled and said, "Since you are determined to donate, let me talk about Libreville's arrangements."

"Director Sun, tell me."

"The donation event is led by the embassy and will be held in Libreville in fifteen days. There will be heavyweights participating."

"Embassy?" Sun Xing was about to change his breath when Du Heng already said in surprise.
