Chapter 23 The Gap Between Me and My Husband
Genoa may be small, but it has created legends!
But who created the myth?
Of course, it's "The Amazing Louis".
Now some people even call him "the great Louis".
The reason is simple: people are saying that he has invented a special treatment method that allows more people to survive through intravenous infusion.
"This is simply a miracle!"
People always like to embellish what they say. What is an IV drip?
The reporter's lack of understanding doesn't prevent them from producing a news article in just a few minutes, just like Mattia, a reporter for the Genoa Morning Post.
"Salt. Sugar. IV fluids. Mr. Louis used only these two things to snatch a dying man back from the clutches of death."
When it reached the mouths of ordinary people, it became—the miraculous Louis saved many lives with salt and sugar from the kitchen!
My God, this is amazing!
It sounds incredible, but the thing is, Louis really did pull a guy who was destined to die back from the clutches of death!
"That day, as I was on the verge of death, I saw a light in the darkness."
As Lorenzo left the clinic, he told reporters:
"Did you see an angel?"
"No, it was the great Louis who pulled me back from the clutches of death—now I'm not only alive, but I've also recovered my health. Thank God, thank the great Louis!"
No one would believe the exaggeration of an ordinary person, but Lorenzo was a nobleman!
Even if the praise from nobles is false, people will find all sorts of evidence to prove that it is true.
With Lorenzo's endorsement, who would doubt a miracle?
Moreover... Lorenzo himself is proof.
The kind that's alive and well.
Suddenly, the line outside Federico Clinic grew even longer.
"One, two..."
Outside the clinic, people were queuing, while Liu Yide was busy pouring gold coins from his box onto a table. With a clatter, the glittering gold was dazzling.
Then they started counting.
These are all 20 lira each – each weighing 6.45 grams.
After counting for a while, Liu Yide couldn't continue...
Because there are too many!
When I had a few hundred gold coins, I counted them again and again.
Enjoying the process of counting money... but what about now?
There are several chests full of gold coins, a whole lot...
He glanced again at the ledger Federico had brought him on the table—the clinic's total revenue from syphilis patients exceeded 200,000 lire, and his share was 100,000.
"One week, 100,000 lira."
Actually, it was just 20 VIP guests.
He recalled that just a month ago, he was still worrying about a sip of water and calculating the consequences of dining and dashing.
Now, he is Genoa's most sought-after "Magic Louis".
Despite his reflections, Liu Yide is full of energy in everything he does!
He put the gold back into the box, went downstairs again, and continued his energetic day.
Such a day begins with ward rounds, after all, those VIP patients are our bread and butter!
"Sir, that Alessandro fellow hasn't learned his lesson at all!"
While Liu Yide was making his rounds, Federico, who was following behind him, started complaining again.
"Oh? What happened?"
"He's brought in another patient! This will affect the accuracy of the data in your paper!"
"Why."
After a moment of silence, Liu Yide sighed.
"This is the burden of fame!"
"Sir, you've had a long day, Alessandro. I really don't understand you."
"There's no other way; doctors have the heart of a parent, we can't just turn patients away!"
"Sir, you are so kind! You can't bear to see a sick person!"
Subsequently, Liu Yide once again instructed Federmiero to keep accurate medical records.
And give him the aspirin that has just been synthesized.
Although the purity of these aspirins is limited, testing is still necessary.
Human trials are mandatory before any drug can be marketed.
It is well known that aspirin is very effective at reducing fever.
The only problem is—dosage and effect.
The former can be tested, but as for the latter... well, we can only hope for the best!
And the guinea pigs, of course, are those VIPs who come begging for money.
Not only do you receive a miracle doctor who personally visits your home, but you also get to take miraculous medicine. With two great gods taking care of you, where else can you find such good fortune!
No, I'm not a doctor.
Doctors... they work themselves to the bone, even dogs wouldn't do that!
With a forced smile, after finishing his rounds, Liu Yide gave Federmione some instructions:
"In addition, record whether the patient has any adverse reactions."
"Don't worry, sir."
Federico's tone was full of respect, and even the way he looked at Liu Yide changed, revealing a deep-seated admiration.
"I will definitely do this well and it will absolutely not affect your research."
Federico's tone was somewhat cautious, like any graduate student facing their boss—cautious and respectful.
In addition, there is another kind of worship—the worship of scientists.
Louis really did invent a drug!
As a doctor, Federico certainly knew the value of this medicine.
After all, fever is a very common illness, affecting everyone from children to the elderly, men and women, and in the past there was no medicine that could treat it.
God knows how many people have gone into shock due to high fever.
In the past, people were helpless when they had a fever; they could only tough it out, and if they couldn't tough it out, they would die!
And now—I'm alive!
Louis's invention!
God bless!
This is truly a world-changing invention!
In his excitement, Federico thought of something else. Although he worried that it might affect his professor's research, he decided to tell him anyway:
"Sir, there's one more thing I think you need to know..."
"Oh? What is it?"
Liu Yide has always been very satisfied with Federmione, not because he never bothers him, but because he believes that Federmione's research benefits all mankind.
Yes, that's the simplicity of scholars!
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he will not bother himself with trivial matters.
"Sir, I don't mean to disturb you."
Federico apologized:
"But I feel this concerns your reputation, so it's necessary for you to know."
"reputation?"
Liu Yide looked at Federico with surprise.
"Yes,"
Federico said seriously:
"Professors at the Genoa Medical School publicly questioned the safety of the intravenous infusions you used, and the dean, Stefano, even declared to the outside world, 'Mr. Luís's method is too dangerous; it's risking patients' lives!'"
Federico's tone turned indignant, and he said:
"Sir, he is slandering you. After all, your innovative research on intravenous infusion is a revolutionary achievement for the whole world, and they know nothing about it. They even slander you with their preconceived notions!"
I believe that, in order to protect your reputation, it is necessary for us to invite them to visit here and then convince them with the facts!
Faced with this suggestion, Liu Yide pondered for a moment, and then said:
"Federiro, do you remember Giordano Bruno?"
"Is it Bruno, who supported the heliocentric theory?"
Federico was taken aback. Of course he knew this person, after all, this incident itself happened in Italy.
"Yes, that's him. Bruno was burned at the stake for supporting heliocentrism. You see, that's the limitation of this era. In any era, being half a step ahead is genius, but being a full step ahead... well, you're either crazy or stupid."
One wrong move and you could be burned to death!
"Things are different now than they were then..."
Federico was certainly aware of Bruno's plight and felt sorry for such a scientist, but since it concerned his reputation, he could not stand idly by.
"But sir, this concerns your reputation. Besides, the medical school isn't the Vatican, and this is merely an academic dispute!"
Seeing Federico's determination to protect his reputation, Liu Yide didn't call him naive, but instead changed the subject.
"But if we get caught up in arguing with those stubborn old folks, then who will treat the patients?"
Federico, and most importantly, they…
Liu Yide turned his gaze to the patients in the ward. The patients in the large ward were all ordinary people. Although he rarely went there to make rounds, now, standing in front of the large ward, everyone's eyes were full of gratitude when they saw him.
"We don't need to get into arguments with others for empty fame. The most important thing is to cure the patients. Then, the irrefutable facts will answer all the doubts!"
In that instant, Federico's gaze changed once again.
However, Liu Yide did not notice the change in Federico's gaze as he looked at him.
At that moment, he was just thinking to himself—would he go and argue with a group of professors about whether intravenous infusion is useful?
You've got a screw loose, haven't you?
Whether they believe it or not is none of my business!
There are more important things to deal with than arguing with those old-fashioned, conservative people.
Recently, Liu Yide has been troubled by a problem—the yield of these aspirin is not stable enough, and the purity of recrystallization is too low, requiring further improvement.
Therefore, we are still far from large-scale production, and there are still many technical problems to be solved.
"Alright, let's treat our patient first!"
Patting him on the shoulder, Liu Yide gave him some advice:
"Scholars must first learn to eliminate the distraction of empty fame; focusing on scholarship is the top priority!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the laboratory on the third floor, leaving Federico looking at Liu Yide, who was climbing the stairs, with an even stronger sense of admiration in his eyes.
"This is the difference between my husband and me..."
