Chapter 1697 Expensive Vaccine
Not all of the young bodyguards of the Howard family ran with the gentlemen. Two of them stood guard at the door of the ward. When the gentlemen came with the doctor in their arms, they respectfully saluted the lady doctor before opening the ward door.
Milo and several old gentlemen accompanied the doctor into the ward. They followed him into the cubicle, where bodyguards lined up at the door.
Because the ward smelled of disinfectant, for Laura's safety, the hospital allowed her to take oxygen 24 hours a day, and she wore an air mask.
Walking into the cubicle, Le Yun glanced at the little princess of the Howard family lying on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but frown: "Isn't it that the bone marrow transplant was very successful? Did the sequelae appear later? Why did Laura... The baby's body has been so severely damaged?"
Do you know what the little princess of the Howard family is doing now?
In the past, there was only leukemia, but now, multiple internal organ failures have developed into uremia!
In the information Milo sent her, Laura was not found to have uremia from the hospital examination data. In other words, between the time Milo sent her the information and now, Laura is approximately He had poor resistance and became infected, so he developed uremia.
Of course, it’s not just uremia. The child was probably infected during the bone marrow transplant surgery and had osteomyelitis. Moreover, the osteomyelitis lesions caused a lesion on the upper arm bone, also called the humerus, in the area where the bone marrow transplant was injected. The cells are the precursors of bone cancer cells.
Leukemia itself is a blood disease, and uremia and bone tumors are added to the mix. Well, Howard's little princess is clearly concerned about death.
Le Yun didn't know what to say, and had to lament that the disease was the only creature that treated people fairly. It not only patronized the poor, but also the rich and powerful. It chose its targets to treat everyone equally, regardless of age, wealth or poverty. .
Not being an expert doctor, Roberto and the others remained silent and looked at the three gentlemen of the Howard family.
Winston heard that the doctor's tone was not very good, and he wiped his forehead anxiously: "Miss doctor, Laura's operation was successful at the time, and she passed the dangerous period. But later, I don't know what went wrong, and she actually developed a rejection reaction. , Laura's kidney function is abnormal, and she can only undergo dialysis treatment."
After Laura had adverse reactions after the operation, she had to change her blood every few days and relied on dialysis to save her life. The day before leaving for China, Laura underwent dialysis again , if she does not undergo dialysis, she may become critically ill midway due to systemic blood necrosis.
Because of her poor health, she was in a semi-comatose state from Yi Country to Hua Xia Country until she was hospitalized.
"I looked at the patient's examination data yesterday and found that the situation was not good, so I gave the young patient a special injection." Dr. Wanqi didn't understand French, but it didn't stop him from guessing. Looking at the expression of the foreigner, he guessed It must be the junior sister who said that the little patient's condition was not good.
"Well, Senior Brother's medical skills are excellent. The doctor is very sensitive. He can see that this child is not in good condition. If you don't give her a special injection, she will definitely have to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night last night." If Senior Brother didn't say anything, Le Yun also
said Knowing that Big Brother had intervened for Laura, he prepared a potion for the patient that added a certain pill she made to save Laura's life.
"It's also thanks to Xiao Lele. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep last night." Dr. Wanqi was very happy to be praised by his junior sister. It's good to have his junior sister. The medicine prepared by his junior sister was perfect. It's a life-saving medicine.
The translator of the Howard family translated the words of the doctor and the young attending doctor to the gentlemen. Frank, Winston, and Alex broke out in cold sweat when they heard that their little baby was almost in danger of life, and thanked the doctor repeatedly.
I thanked the attending doctor and looked at the doctor anxiously. I wanted to ask but didn't dare, for fear of hearing bad news.
Le Yun walked to the bedside, put the folding fan on her belt, stretched out her hand to lift the thin quilt covering Laura, felt her pulse, and then lifted off little Laura's wig and hood to check her scalp. Laura’s face looked at the three men of the Howard family again.
He focused on scanning the bodies of the Howard family members again and collected the genetic data of the Howard family. He frowned. The Howard family's genes themselves had some kind of recessive genetic defect. It was very normal for Laura to develop leukemia.
After finding out the root cause of Laura's illness, Le Yun nodded to everyone: "Go and talk outside. Too many people will make the air here not smooth." "Miss
doctor, doctor, please-"
Roberto and others also Thinking it made sense, the three heads of the Howard family immediately respectfully asked the doctor and the young doctor to go first.
Several middle-aged and elderly gentlemen accompanied the doctor and the young doctor back to the outside activity area and took their seats in the sofa seating area. The young people from the Howard family immediately opened their suitcases, took out two wine glasses, and poured a drink for the young doctor and the doctor. wine.
Dr. Wanqi took a sip of the red wine and praised him very much: "Good, the red wine from the place of origin has a more mellow taste." There are imported original red
wines in China. Due to the protection and temperature during transportation, the taste of the wine is also different. A little influenced, Howard's red wine was brought from the place of origin and arrived by air. There was little delay on the way, and the taste of the red wine was naturally infinitely close to the original taste.
Several elderly gentlemen also accompanied the doctor to taste red wine, and were delighted when they heard the young doctor's praise.
Leyun also tasted the red wine slowly and said nothing.
The child didn't speak. Milo was worried and asked about Laura's condition: "Xiao Lele, how is baby Laura's health?" The three
parents of the Howard family were extremely grateful to Milo. That child is really an angel. !
The patient's family eagerly waited to hear the diagnosis results. Le Yun calmly explained: "Based on baby Laura's current situation, it can be determined that the baby has leukemia caused by a genetic defect. Her immunity is very poor, and ordinary influenza may destroy it. If her immune system is attacked by viruses, she may suffer from leukemia or malignant diseases such as bone cancer or lung cancer at any time.
Because little Laura has a genetic defect, the bone marrow transplant can only be successful if the bone marrow donor and her genetic matching rate are 100% identical. Surgery with less than ten genetic points on both of them will be successful. Impossible to succeed.
Now, the little baby's bone marrow transplant failed, his internal organs failed, and he developed osteomyelitis. The humerus of the arm where the transplant was performed became infected and turned into a malignant tumor, which is bone cancer. "
Miss Doctor Dongfang explained everyone's doubts in English. Everyone, whether they were members of the Ferrari family or the Howard family, could understand it. The
child was talking about the diagnosis results, and Milo couldn't help but crawl up to her head with his big hand and poke her. bun.
After hearing the diagnosis, Frank, Alex and his grandson knew that the baby's condition was very serious, and his face changed again and again. The
Howard family had been waiting for a hundred years to have a girl. Laura was the daughter of the Howard family. Such a treasure, Winston almost burst into tears: "Miss doctor, can my little baby's disease be cured? "
Other people are anxious, but Milo is not anxious at all. Based on his understanding of Xiao Lele, if the patient is really hopeless, then she will never stay, let alone drink red wine leisurely and elegantly. She still has Drinking red wine leisurely showed that little Laura was saved.
Handsome Milo was making trouble again. Le Yun removed Tu Hao's hand from her head and flashed her watery eyes: "Gentlemen of the Howard family, the most important person at present is What urgently needs to be discussed is not whether or not Baby Laura can be cured, but what will happen after it is cured.
"Ah, Miss Doctor, what you are saying is that the baby can be cured, right? "
"Thank God, babies can be cured! " "
Yes, yes, I heard it too..."
The three heads of the Howard family danced excitedly. Alessandro, Liszt, and Roberto were also happy and happily expressed their gratitude to the God of their faith. .
Doctor Wanqi once again understood the reason why the junior sister was not sociable. It was really difficult to deal with foreigners. Their thinking always seemed not to be on the same channel as that of the Chinese people.
"..." A group of gentlemen couldn't grasp the key points. Le Yun sighed feebly. When encountering such a foreigner, it was useless even if she tried to type on the blackboard to highlight the important points.
"Xiao Lele, you mean that the little baby of the Howard family may have sequelae after being cured, right?" The child showed an expression of "I have no hope for life", and Milo climbed up to the little boy's head with his other hand. Rub her head.
Side effects? The joy on the faces of several middle-aged and elderly gentlemen who were in high spirits instantly faded.
"Yes, baby Laura has a genetic defect that causes her immune function to be very poor. If the root cause of the problem is not solved, baby Laura can remain healthy for up to five years after being cured, and will still relapse after that. Or suffer from other serious diseases due to infection with other viruses."
The foreign gentlemen couldn't grasp the key point, so Le Yun had no choice but to directly explain the real problem. If she didn't explain it, the Howard family still didn't understand the key point.
The doctor explained very clearly. Frank, Winston, and Alex finally understood the real reason why the baby was not very healthy after birth, and put down the wine glass with great sadness. The genetic defect is congenital, and it is Irreversible.
Alessandro, Roberto, and Liszt also felt that the red wine was no longer fragrant and put down their glasses.
Doctor Wanqi was leisurely drinking red wine. Didn't you see that his junior sister looked calm? The junior sister was calm as usual, indicating that it was nothing.
Milo also guessed from the child's expression that there was a possibility of reversal, so he didn't panic and played with the headdress in the child's hair: "Xiao Lele, you have a way to enhance baby Laura's immune function, right? The Howard family, like the Ferrari family, is a very wealthy family. You don't have to save money for them. As long as it is useful for baby Laura's disease, it doesn't matter how expensive the medicine is." He just said, don't worry about the cost of medicine
. Despite boldly using sky-high-priced medicinal materials and despite the lion's generous asking price, the Howard family could afford the medical expenses.
Roberto also reacted and immediately echoed: "Sweetheart, Winston and Frank are both trustworthy people, and their family also believes in integrity first. You can take the medicine with confidence. The Howard family doesn't care how much it costs. They We are willing to heal their little baby at all costs."
Winston and Frank also had an epiphany and immediately expressed their sincere stance: "Ms. Doctor, as long as our little baby can be cured, we are willing to spend no matter how much it costs!" Milo Tu said
. Mr. Hao was causing trouble, but Le Yun was too lazy to pay attention to him and settled the business first: "Mr. Howard doesn't mind spending money, so this is easier to solve. I did research last year, and one of the research projects was a vaccine to improve immunity.
I The vaccine developed is suitable for most people and cannot be used directly on baby Laura. I need to prepare a separate vaccine for baby Laura's constitution. I also have most of the raw materials for preparing the vaccine, and one of them requires Howard. The three gentlemen of the family will provide it."
"What medicinal materials does Miss Doctor need from us?" Winston, as the main representative of the family, sat upright.
Frank and Alex also strained their ears, for fear of hearing wrongly.
"It's not medicinal materials. Each of the three gentlemen needs to provide a blood. It doesn't need to be too much. One hundred milliliters per person is almost enough." Le Yun smiled slightly: "The vaccine for baby Laura's body is a bit overbearing. If there are three Sir’s blood, the vaccine injected into baby Laura’s blood vessels can fuse with the baby’s blood as quickly as possible without the risk of being rejected.” “Ahhhh, no problem, no problem!”
“
Doctor Miss, it doesn't matter how much blood you need!"
Frank, Winston, and Alex originally thought that Miss Doctor needed some kind of rare and valuable plant that they needed to find. They had decided that no matter what kind of protective plant it was, as long as it could save labor La, collect it at any cost, even if you steal it.
The result was unexpected. The doctor only wanted a blood supply from the family.
The three family members rushed to ask the doctor to draw their own blood, saying that they had too much blood and it didn't matter how much they drew.
The little angel of the Howard family was saved. Roberto, Alessandro, and Liszt were also in a very happy mood. They picked up their wine glasses with smiles and drank wine with the young doctor while watching the three Howard family members vying to donate blood.
"Each of the three gentlemen has inherited genes from their mother's family, and each has its own advantages. Each of them needs a little blood, so that the vaccine can achieve its maximum effect." "Okay, okay." Fighting for blood
. The three of them stopped arguing, and Winston asked gently: "Ms. Doctor, how much does a vaccine cost?"
The old guys Alessandro and Roberto both said that Miss Doctor likes people who are cheerful, so, Winston Don didn't beat around the bush and asked directly about the price of the vaccine.
Mr. Howard is a gentleman before a villain, and Le Yun also likes this approach: "Vaccines are expensive. The original cost of one vaccine is about 110 million euros. The vaccine for Laura's little baby needs an additional ten minutes. Medicines, those medicines are also finished products that have been refined countless times. The cost of the new medicines is about nine million euros, and the total price of one vaccine is 119 million euros." (End of this chapter
