Chapter 518: Chapter 244: Terminal Illness Hospital Chapter 518: Chapter 244: Terminal Illness Hospital The production of HIV/AIDS treatment medicine requires 24 types of plants, including 2 very precious Chinese medicinal materials. The remaining 22 plants are quite common. Overall, the production cost of this medicine wouldn't be too high, but its manufacturing process is extremely complex. Previously, with only manual labor, Yan Fei would have been completely unable to complete the process. However, after obtaining a mini-production workshop and a complete manufacturing recipe, the production of HIV/AIDS medicine naturally followed. The only thing that needed to be consumed was some Energy Points.

Yan Fei began to analyze the extent of the benefits that the HIV/AIDS medicine could bring to Misty Island. He was so pleased that he turned over in bed a bit too eagerly, which woke Wen Rou who was sleeping beside him. Wen Rou opened her eyes and the first thing she saw was Yan Fei next to the pillow. She showed her tender smile, kissed Yan Fei on the face, wished him a good morning, then got out of bed, dressed, and went to make breakfast for Yan Fei.

All through breakfast, Yan Fei continued to ponder how to maximize the benefits of the HIV/AIDS medicine for Misty Island. Wen Rou, across from him, then said to Yan Fei, “Little Fei, I know your work is very hard. Why don't you find something for me to do? That way, I can help you with your burdens, so you won't have to work so hard.”

Yan Fei thought for a moment and asked, “Little Rou, what kind of work would you like to do?”

Wen Rou replied, “I come from a medical college and have studied jobs related to medical nursing. If possible, I would still like to engage in work related to medicine.”

Yan Fei laughed and said, “What if I give you a hospital? Could you help me manage it?”

Wen Rou hesitated and answered, “I'm just a nurse. Although I often visit hospitals, I have no clue about how to manage one. Even if you really gave me a hospital, I wouldn't manage it well without any experience!”

Yan Fei replied, “Little Rou, I have always been planning to establish a hospital on Misty Island. This hospital is very important to me; its development is linked to my future and can bring me substantial profit. I cannot fully trust anyone else to manage such an important hospital. Only if you take charge can I rest assured. As for experience, well, that is gathered from actual work; no one starts out already experienced.”

After hearing Yan Fei's words, Wen Rou became curious and asked, “There are many famous large hospitals in the world, all with strong medical capabilities, having cured various patients. But I've never heard of any hospital making a lot of money. What makes the hospital you want to establish so special that it could bring substantial profits to you? You're already known around the world as a billionaire; you wouldn't care about a small amount of money.”

Yan Fei finished off the bowl of plain porridge in one gulp, savored the taste, and commented, “This porridge still lacks in perfect degree, but it's also quite delicious.”

Wen Rou pressed, “Don't change the subject. Answer my question!”

Only then did Yan Fei earnestly say, “The hospital I'm planning to set up is quite unusual; it can be considered unprecedented in human history because it will treat patients with incurable diseases that other hospitals cannot. I intend to name it the Terminal Illness Hospital. Do you think a hospital capable of treating incurable diseases won't make us money?”

Wen Rou was taken aback and said, “Treating patients with incurable diseases? How is that possible? If it's an incurable disease, it means it's beyond what current Earth technology can cure. If no one else can heal them, how can we?”

Yan Fei smiled mysteriously and explained, “In recent years, Chinese medicine in China has been suppressed by Western medicine. A series of 'Chinese medicine fraud' revelations aimed to shake people's confidence in it. But they all forget one thing–that Chinese civilization has endured for thousands of years, and despite countless lethal viral epidemics and plagues, it never wiped out the Chinese population significantly. This indicates that there is indeed some validity to Chinese medicine. Being sidelined in the modern era doesn't mean Chinese medicine is ineffective; it's just that people have yet to discover its true secrets and have not learned its essence.”

Having grown up in The United States of America and learned what's considered scientific nursing techniques in Western medicine, Wen Rou had been quite skeptical of Chinese medicine, equating it more with the mystic practices of witch doctors and herbal cures. However, Yan Fei's words prompted a reflection and she began to consider the possibility that Chinese medicine might be quite powerful. There were plagues in China too, certainly outbreaks on a wide scale, but why didn't they lead to significant population decreases? In contrast, Europe lost half its population to one plague, leaving behind the terrifying legend of the Black Death and making people dread even the mention of rats. From this perspective, Chinese medicine did seem to have some merit.

Driven by curiosity, Wen Rou asked, “Little Fei, are you saying that the medicine used in the Terminal Illness Hospital is Chinese medicine? Can it truly cure incurable diseases?”

Yan Fei had forcefully associated the HIV/AIDS medicine with Chinese medicine because he was planning to market the new medicine under the guise of traditional Chinese practices. And he wasn't making empty claims–Chinese medicine indeed played a role in the continuity of the Chinese population and wasn't as ineffective as some people claimed. Without their equipment and gadgets, Western doctors would be at a loss; however, an experienced Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor could diagnose a patient's condition through observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking alone and prescribe a highly specific medication, which certainly said something. Thus, Yan Fei also hoped to use the veneer of Chinese medicine to help it re-emerge and fulfill its deserved role, which was also a dream of his as a Chinese person.
