Chapter 982 Incurable Disease
In the supreme VIP area of Zhongyun Kangfeng Hospital, Su Jing, Lu Qinming and others are receiving a special patient. A middle-aged man is sitting in a wheelchair, his limbs are limp, his neck is crooked, and he is supported by a brace. Behind him stood a middle-aged woman, a young man, and a young woman, all of them looking at Su Jing and the others with hopeful expressions.
"Doctor Su, all doctors, I beg you all to cure my husband." The middle-aged woman pleaded.
"This disease, I'm afraid we can't do anything about it." Lu Qinming sighed, and the other doctors shook their heads. They were all thinking that the 100% success rate of treatment in the Supreme VIP area would be broken today.
This middle-aged man in a wheelchair has an incurable disease, one of the five major terminal diseases in the world, and it cannot be compared with the previous cyanosis, cough, infertility, etc. This disease is called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called motor neuron disease, and there is a more vivid name, called ALS.
This is a malignant disease, just like its name, the sick person is like being frozen by ice and snow, losing any ability to move, but the process is not rapid, but atrophy and weakness in part and part of the body. It is caused by the injury of the upper and lower motor neurons, resulting in gradual weakness and atrophy of the muscles including the bulb (the so-called bulb, which refers to the muscle innervated by the medulla oblongata), the limbs, the trunk, and the chest and abdomen.
The ice bucket challenge, which has been popular for a while in the past two years, aims to let more people know about this rare disease called ALS, and also to raise funds to help treat it.
The world's most famous ALS patient should belong to the world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. It is undeniable that he is a legend. He proved the singularity theorem of general relativity and the black hole area theorem, and proposed the black hole evaporation theory and no The boundary's Hawking universe model has taken an important step in unifying the two fundamental theories of 20th century physics - relativity founded by Einstein and quantum mechanics founded by Planck. His "A Brief History of Time" became a worldwide sensation and sold nearly 10 million copies. He is recognized as one of the most outstanding physicists after Newton and Einstein, and is known as the "King of the Universe".
However, this genius is also unable to resist the disease. Because of ALS, he has been imprisoned in a wheelchair for half a century, and no one can cure him so far. He unfortunately suffered from ALS at the age of 21. He originally had only two years to live, but he miraculously survived for two years, and the deterioration of his condition gradually slowed down, but the damage caused by ALS was permanent. He has only three fingers to move, the disease has severely deformed his body, his head can only be tilted to the right, his shoulders are low to the right, his hands are tucked together, and he is holding a palm-sized onomatopoeia. On the keyboard, the feet are twisted inward, and the mouth is almost crooked into an S shape. As long as you smile a little, you will immediately show a "grinning" look.
In short, ALS is a worldwide problem. Faced with this problem, Lu Qinming and others, in addition to being helpless or helpless, thought that Su Jing himself should also be helpless. Suddenly such a patient came. Too much appreciated.
However, Su Jing said: "We will try our best to treat it, but I think you should also know how difficult it is to treat this kind of disease. I can't guarantee that it will be cured."
Lu Qinming slammed his eyes and looked at Su Jing in disbelief. How could he listen to Su Jing's words? It seemed that he was really trying to cure this disease. ?
"We understand that it will be fine if Dr. Su is willing to try his best to treat." The middle-aged woman nodded happily.
"Doctor Su, my father's disease is really possible to be cured?" The young men and young women were all staring at Su Jing. Of course they hoped that his father's disease could be cured, but they also knew that it was incurable. disease. In fact, before they came, they didn't have much hope, and Su Jing's answer exceeded their expectations. However, they were a little worried that Su Jing might just want to make money and come up with a plan to delay the army.
"To tell you the truth, I'm researching a brand new treatment method, and there is a possibility of a cure, but after all, I haven't used it, so I can't guarantee it." Su Jing said.
"I haven't used it, doesn't this mean that my father is a test product?" The young woman raised her brows.
"Doctor Su, you are going too far." The young man also said angrily.
"Xiaohao, Xiaodie, calm down." At this time, the middle-aged man in the wheelchair spoke up. He could only move his eyes and mouth, and it was a little difficult to speak, so he seldom opened his mouth. Qingdi said, "The ALS is an incurable disease, and it is only a genius doctor like Dr. Su who dares to say that there is a chance of survival. You still want a 100% success rate? I'm like this, I'm not going to live long, why not give it a shot? Fighting? It’s worth it to make a contribution to conquering this disease before dying, it’s better than waiting to die like this.”
This middle-aged man, even though he was devastated by the disease to such a state, could still be so calm and have this kind of bearing, which made Su Jing nod his head in admiration.
"Doctor Su, don't pay attention to them, I agree, help me with the treatment, and I won't blame you if I can't cure it." The middle-aged man said, very decisive.
"Wait." The young man suddenly said, seeing the middle-aged man staring at him, he said, "Dad, I understand your mood and understand you, but please consider for us, how can we let you try this A treatment full of unknowns? What if there are three long and two short? Of course, I am not stopping you, I have a sure-fire plan."
"What's the surefire way?" the middle-aged man asked.
"I brought a few other patients who also suffered from ALS. Mr. Su will help them treat them first, and if the cure is successful, then help my father treat them," said the young man.
Su Jing squinted his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes, but there are two conditions. First, the patients you bring must agree with them, and they cannot be forced; second, the multiple patients you bring, I have spent many times my energy and medicines, and I will give as many times as I have cured, one hundred million, and as many as one hundred million."
"No problem." The young man nodded, the middle-aged man did not speak, it should be regarded as a default.
"Deal." Su Jing shook hands with the young man. In fact, it was a good thing for more patients to try. After all, Su Jing was not sure if he had not been treated.
They didn't plan to carry out this kind of treatment that was full of unknowns for the time being, but they still stayed in Kangfeng Hospital for hospital care. After arranging the middle-aged man's ward, Lu Qinming asked Su Jing worriedly, "A Jing, are you still there? Really try to overcome this incurable disease, do you know that this is a worldwide problem?"
"I know, so success or failure depends on this, and I need you to help me next." Su Jing said, he took out a book from the drawer, and it was freshly bound at first glance, with a big "Medical Classic" written on the cover. Character. Lu Qinming was taken aback for a moment, this seems to be a copy of the Eastern Han Medical Classic?
