Guangdong Province, Yangcheng Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There was no one in the clinic.

Han Rong sat boredly in front of the window and yawned loudly.

Since the implementation of the HIV Elimination Plan, fewer and fewer HIV-infected people have come to the CDC for testing.

In the past, there were at least dozens of people coming for check-ups every day, but now there are very few people around, and no one can be seen for several days in a row.

It is said that the higher authorities are already planning to close the AIDS departments of some county CDCs.

It stands to reason that when employees encounter a situation where business is shrinking and their prospects are bleak, they must feel very sad.

But Han Rong was happy from the bottom of his heart.

He has seen too many miserable patients, especially some poor people who were infected unintentionally. He hopes that as few people as possible will have this disease.

The best thing is to make HIV completely disappear from this world.

God seemed to hear his voice.

On this day, not long after he went to work, he learned some good news.

"What? There is already a cure for AIDS?"

Han Rong stood up suddenly, with an expression of surprise and joy on his face.

"And clinical trials have started?"

"That's right, the leader asked us to select some eligible patients starting today and call them to go to the infectious disease hospital to participate in the Phase III clinical trial." The colleague who told him the news also looked happy at this moment.

"That's great." Han Rong sat back down and turned on the computer: "By the way, what are the conditions to participate in clinical trials."

"Here, here is the notice. It is clearly written on it." The colleague took out the document and read it.

"Priority will be given to patients with poor physical conditions such as women, children, and the elderly, as well as vulnerable groups such as poor households and migrant workers, as well as patients in the middle and late stages of illness who have been ill for more than five years."

"Just follow this requirement and look for it in the registered list. Currently, clinical trials are only conducted in big cities. We in Yangcheng have been allocated 800 places. We must tell them the good news quickly."

"Yes, I understand." Han Rong nodded. He almost immediately thought of Ding Xiaomei and some patients who impressed him deeply.

These patients are basically vulnerable groups such as the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the poor. When he encounters them, he will mark them. When there are more people, he will have a special list. When he usually calls to follow up for abortion, he will talk about daily life and learn more.

The other party’s basic situation.

It may be that these patients usually have a difficult life, so when they meet a warm-hearted doctor like him, they are willing to chat with him for a while.

Over time, he knew all the people on the list very well. To him, these people were not just cold numbers on the list, but old friends who were sick.

Now that there was hope of curing AIDS, he happily picked up the phone and called the people on the list as soon as possible.

"Hey, Ding Xiaomei, I have good news for you. There is a cure for AIDS. If you have nothing to do today, go to the infectious disease hospital to participate in the clinical trial. Yes, as soon as possible."

"Hey, Uncle Ding, I have good news for you..."

Han Rong kept dialing the phone to notify patients who met the conditions one by one.

When the patients on the other end of the phone learned the news, they were all ecstatic, and some even burst into tears on the spot.

…

For the first time, Han Rong had the illusion that he was a happy boy.

You know, in the past, he always delivered the bad news of being HIV-positive, but now he has completely reversed it.

The same patients were crying, one was crying with joy and the other was filled with grief. There was no doubt that the former made him more happy and satisfied.

Another colleague is also busy in front of the computer.

In order to improve efficiency, every time 10 eligible patients are found, they must be notified by phone first.

Make sure the other party participates before moving on to the next one.

There are 800 places, and the workload is not small. It will take several days to notify everyone one by one.

However, both of them were very excited at the moment and did not feel tired at all. They kept calling the phones in their hands, fearing that the other party would know the good news one second later.

In this way, it took the two of them three full days to notify everyone.

The patient burst into tears of gratitude and rushed to the hospital quickly.

Han Rong breathed a sigh of relief. His workload in the past few days was comparable to that of the previous week.

Although I feel a little tired, I can successfully complete the task and feel only endless joy in my heart.

Suddenly, the landline phone on the table rang.

Han Rong reached out and picked it up: "This is the AIDS Prevention Department of the Yangcheng Center for Disease Control and Prevention. What can I do for you?"

Only a man's voice was heard asking: "I heard that Sanqing has developed a new drug that can cure AIDS and has begun clinical trials. Is this true?"

Who is this? He speaks harshly and has no manners at all. Han Rong thought to himself and said, "Yes, this is the case."

The other party's tone changed instantly, and he cursed angrily: "Why didn't you notify me to participate in the clinical trial? My ex-wife, that bitch, can go, why can't I go?"

Han Rong was immediately filled with questions and answered cautiously: "You must meet certain requirements before you can participate in this clinical trial. The rules are also set by the Sanqing Group. We cannot make the decision."

"Is it convenient for you to leave your name and phone number? We will keep an eye on it for you, and you can participate if you meet the conditions."

The man snorted and said after a while: "Okay, I'm Li xx, phone number is 13xxxxxxxxx."

When Han Rong heard this name, he immediately remembered an impressive incident. A few months ago, he notified this man named Li to come to collect the report. As a result, the other party blocked him and deliberately concealed his illness in order to get married.

At this moment, recalling the word "ex-wife" mentioned in the conversation, his scalp suddenly went numb.

After the man reported his number, he threatened fiercely: "If you don't notify me to participate in a clinical trial after a while, then just wait, I will definitely come to settle the score with you. Humph!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a bang.

Han Rong was furious and made up his mind. Even if he was complained by this idiot, he would never let such a disgusting person participate in a clinical trial.

The colleague glanced at him and said in surprise: "Why do you look so ugly? Did you have a quarrel with someone?"

Han Rong had a gloomy face and recounted the phone call just now.

A trace of anger flashed across the colleague's face, and he said coldly: "I know this person. I was the one who handled it at the beginning. When he first came here, he was gibbering. He scolded us for having too many rules and filling out the form in too detail. He also insisted on

Refuse to show ID card.”

…

"Later, with my persistence, I finally completed the examination as required. Later, he hung up on me several times during follow-up visits. It wasn't until the news about the HIV elimination plan came out and I texted him that it would be illegal if he didn't cooperate, that he would answer the phone.

"

"But it was a little too late at this time. His wife had already been infected. She went to the hospital when she fell ill and found out the abnormality. Then she was so angry that she divorced him. She also took him to court and sued him for deliberately concealing the claim for compensation. Anyway, it made him miserable afterwards.

of."

There was a gloating smile on the colleague's face: "These were all told to me by his wife, oh no, his ex-wife. Anyway, my ex-wife was quite straightforward. After she found out she was infected, she came directly to the CDC. I was the one who received her.

I talked a lot."

"Because she was a woman who was accidentally infected and met the conditions this time. I just informed her to participate in a clinical trial a few days ago, and then this man probably found out about it, so I called her to harass her."

"Haha, he deserves it! Even if he is complained, I will never let this person participate in a clinical trial."

The two said in unison, looking at each other and smiling.

Han Rong was a little worried and said, "What if this person comes to make trouble?"

The colleague shook his head and said with a look of disdain: "This guy is just a strong-willed man who only knows how to bluff people. As soon as his wife filed a lawsuit, he immediately knelt down and begged for peace. It's so incredible. His face was disgusting."

Han Rong was relieved.

In the next period of time, Mr. Li disappeared completely and there was no news at all.

Two weeks later, Han Rong was playing Minesweeper on the computer.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded again.

"Dr. Han, I'm here to thank you."

When I looked up, I saw that it was Ding Xiaomei who I hadn't seen for a long time. She had become much rounder, her face had color, and she looked full of energy.

Han Rong ran out in surprise: "Why are you here? How do you feel now?"

Ding Xiaomei's behavior is still a little restrained, but her expression has become much more cheerful, and the gloom between her eyebrows has also disappeared.

"I just finished participating in the clinical trial, and the doctor said that I have been cured and restored to health. I thought I must come to thank you and report the latest situation."

Her eyes were a little wet, and she said with a smile: "Thanks to this experiment, my son was tested after he was born and was not infected. Now even I have been cured. It is really blessed by God."

"This Sanqing Group is simply a living Bodhisattva. It has cured so many people. When I go back, I will definitely offer a memorial tablet to Mr. Wei and offer him incense every day."

Han Rong immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and said quickly: "This is the result of the development of science and technology. It has nothing to do with Bodhisattva or anything like that. You don't need to make any tablets. This is all feudal superstition."

Ding Xiaomei nodded confusedly: "Okay, doctor, you have said so, I will not offer a memorial tablet at home. This tablet," she patted her chest, "I will keep it in my heart and I will remember it for the rest of my life."

"Add me one."

"Yes, count me in."

"I will also keep Mr. Wei in my heart for the rest of my life."
