Chapter 2317 Difficult Diseases
My child promised to brew mushroom sauce for himself. Milo was in a happy mood and drove the car through two streets with twists and turns and arrived at the hotel where Mr. Smith had booked.
Mr. Smith's bodyguard was waiting at the door of the hotel. When he saw Master Milo accompanying the doctor, a sincere smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.
The bodyguard greeted the two guests and led them to the guest room.
The big hotel where Mr. Smith lives is far away from Mr. Green's house. It is a building and is more luxurious than the hotel where old Mr. Howard and the others live.
Mr. Smith and his business partner each lived in a suite. The bodyguard took the handsome young gentleman and the doctor to the suite where his husband lived.
Lister was meeting guests in the leisure area of the suite, which was integrated with office, conference and reception functions. His friend Alem Balmond was also there.
The Bamond family is a large family in Mexico. Mr. Bamond, the head of state who once ruled Mexico more than a hundred years ago, is from his family. However, since then, even though there are politicians in the Bamond family, Even at the governor level, there have been no influential figures in the political arena in modern times.
The Bamonde family has a very stable position in the business world, ranking among the top ten richest people in Mexico. The most interesting thing is that the Bamonde family is at the top, but it is not very conspicuous. They are the ones who make a fortune in silence. kind.
Alem is an old man who is nearly sixty years old. He is relatively thin and about 1.82 meters tall. Because he is thinner, it seems that he is taller than Liszt.
His skin is dark, which makes him look like a mixed-race person, his colored pupils are tan, and his hair is brown.
Alem's appearance is quite ordinary. If he were placed among ordinary people, no one would pay much attention to him.
He and Mr. Smith were waiting for the doctor in the leisure parlor. When Mr. Smith's guests arrived, the host enthusiastically ran forward and hugged the doctor. He smiled beside him, looking gentlemanly and elegant.
Liszt greeted the doctor's sweetheart enthusiastically, stared at the sweetheart's hair, and frantically typed out compliments.
Milo: "..." He thought that his godfather, Winston, and Amedeo were the most surprised about Xiao Lele's hair. Now he realized that he was wrong. This one is even more powerful. He has already I praised him for three minutes, but he still had no intention of ending.
Mr. Smith was so excited that he praised him for five minutes before ending and introducing his friend Alem to the doctor's sweetheart.
The names of Mexican people are also similar to the names of Yi people. They are often composed of personal name, Christian name, father's name, mother's name, grandfather's name, etc., and are composed of several syllables.
That kind of name was too long and difficult to remember, so after introducing his friend's full name, Liszt gave him a simplified name.
Mr. Smith made the introduction, and Alem politely kissed the hand of the doctor from the East, then shook hands and praised the doctor's beautiful long hair for a full minute.
Le Yun felt that because she had long hair, the words of praise for her hair far exceeded the praise of her own abilities.
It can be said that her hair successfully stole the spotlight.
Fortunately, she was immune to hearing too many compliments, so she listened very calmly, took in all the compliments, and then thanked them in return.
Liszt introduced the doctor, and he also did not forget to introduce Milo. Milo is the "secretary" of the doctor in Europe and America. If there is anything that the doctor's sweetheart cannot find, Milo is the best microphone.
Alem and the young gentleman shook hands.
The doctor and patient met. Liszt asked people to sit down, and the bodyguard cleverly made black tea.
As soon as the black tea was distributed to the guests, the hotel's waiter also delivered the fruits and snacks requested by the guests.
Milo put on his gloves, cut a lemon into slices, and put two slices in the child's tea cup. The black tea turned into lemon-flavored black tea.
Liszt was extremely surprised. He also put a slice of lemon into his tea and took a sip. His expression was indescribable.
Le Yun drank lemon-flavored black tea very calmly, and ate the cactus fruit prepared by Milo Tuhao's help very calmly.
After drinking a cup of black tea, Lister asked the doctor on behalf of his friend if Sweetheart Alem's problem could be cured.
Alem does not suffer from any terminal disease. He suffers from a difficult and complicated disease - epidermodysplasia verruciformis, also known as epidermal dysplasia verruciformis.
To put it bluntly, it is a skin disease. The specific manifestations are: the rash is flat verrucous papules as big as rice grains to soybeans, round or polygonal, hard in texture, light gray, dark red, purple or brown, gradually increasing in number and symmetrically distributed. It usually occurs on the face, neck, trunk and limbs, but can also occur sparingly on the whole body.
Patients with epidermodysplasia verruciformis will develop diverse flat wart-like papules in certain places on the body. Some look like horns of cattle and sheep, and some look like mushrooms. If they proliferate, it is not surprising that they will grow into tree branches.
The warts of epidermodysplasia verruciformis, unlike tophi, are neither painful nor itchy. If they do not grow on the face or the normally exposed trunk part of the human body, they will not affect a person's health and work.
If it grows in the wrong position, such as on the face, it will affect a person's appearance. If it grows on the hands or feet, it will affect movement. If it grows on limbs that are often exposed, it can easily scare people.
Verrucous epidermis has poor structure, which is a skin disease and a hereditary disease. It can be cured, but it cannot be cured. The common treatment plan is to remove the wart. If it grows again, cut it again, that's it.
Mr. Balmond suffers from epidermodysplasia verruciformis. He is relatively lucky. He only has warts on his toes and near his armpits. Because the location is highly hidden, others cannot find it as long as he does not take off his shoes and wear short underwear to expose his armpits.
Alem has been suffering from epidermodysplasia verruciformis since childhood. Because the Bamond family is a wealthy family, the warts are removed whenever they grow to a certain size, so it did not have any adverse effects on him.
From childhood to adolescence, he only underwent excision surgery about once a year. As an adult, the warts grew faster, reaching the size of a large soybean in about four months. In order not to affect his walking, he underwent surgery every few months. Go to the hospital for a minor surgery.
Alem had just undergone surgery three months ago. The warts on his toes and armpits were almost as big as soybeans. They were round, brown, and had a scaly layer on the surface.
And the location of his warts is quite secretive, making it difficult for outsiders to discover, which helps him save his face to a large extent, which is also lucky.
However, there is another hidden danger - warts in the armpits. It is easy to sweat around the warts. The smell of sweat is stronger than normal body odor and is very unpleasant.
Therefore, in order to remove the odor, Alem bathes more frequently than normal people. If you live in a tropical area, you have to go to the bathroom for cleaning every once in a while.
Many times, due to work requirements, he has to take long meetings or discuss work with others, so he has to take special measures - using sanitary pads for women to stick under his armpits to absorb sweat.
That was the best defense he had found after years of experimentation, and it was also the most effective plan. He never told anyone except those in his family who also suffered from epidermodysplasia verruciformis.
Because the smell of sweat is very unpleasant, Mr. Balmond never leaves his body with perfume whether he is at home or out, and the smell of perfume can also play a masking role.
After years of experiments, he also found that cologne has the best concealing effect. In addition to famous brand perfumes, when he went to Asia, he also found that a perfume with a sandalwood scent from a certain country was also effective. Unfortunately, that perfume from a certain country was not exported.
Mr. Balmond had cleaned up before receiving the guests, and had sprayed himself with perfume. He did not smell of sweat.
However, Leyun's nose was dozens of times sharper than a dog's. She could smell dozens of smells at any station. Even if Mr. Balmond didn't sweat, she could still smell his unique smell.
The sweat in his armpits was particularly smelly, even worse than body odor. It was very much like the smell produced when manure and various other messy things were mixed together to make fertilizer. One of the smells was the stench of rotten meat.
As a doctor, I have been to Le Yun in another world and smelled countless smells. Not to mention the smell of Bamond's body odor, she could still eat even if she was thrown next to the corpse pit.
Therefore, even though her nose was filled with an unpleasant smell, the little Loli still showed no signs of abnormality and drank tea and ate fruit calmly.
Mr. Smith asked whether his friend's disease could be cured. Le's answer was yes: "Mr. Balmond's symptoms are also a type of genetic disease and are hereditary. There is no problem in curing him personally. However, after treatment, , there is still a genetic susceptibility to infection, and his offspring are extremely likely to suffer from the same skin disease." "
Sweetheart, is there any way to eliminate the genetic risk of this symptom?" Lister asked seriously.
Alem has suffered from skin diseases since he was a child, and he knows that it is hereditary, and the location of warts is also variable. No one can predict where they will grow. In order to prevent future generations from feeling inferior due to skin diseases, he is still unmarried. No children either.
"It's not impossible."
The doctor's words cheered up Bamond. Liszt knew that it was inconvenient for Alem to ask, so he asked on his behalf: "Sweetheart, are the medical expenses very high?" "Well,
it's not ordinary. It's very high." Le Yun nodded: "It's because you asked me, Mr. Smith, that's why I told the truth. If it were the patient himself who asked, I would reserve the answer that can solve the genetic risk."
Bamon Mr. De's focus was not on the cost of medical expenses, but on how to solve hereditary risks. He looked at Liszt excitedly.
Liszt received the look from his friend and said with a serious face: "Sweetheart, how much is the medical cost to treat Alem?" "
To solve the hidden dangers of genetics, we need a variety of things that are very strange to outsiders. The cost of the drugs needed by Qi is about 800 million U.S. dollars.
And it is impossible for me to prepare the medicines for free, so I have to charge at least 50 million U.S. dollars in remuneration.
Most people cannot afford such a cost."
