Chapter Twenty-Three: Divergent Directions
Xue Mianmian's face darkened, it was over, and he used the wrong plan.
She turned to a gentle policy, "Otherwise, if you can stop crying, Auntie will go with you to buy a few apples?"
Lin Yangyang's crying did not stop, his head was buried in the crook of his arm, and he didn't move.
Xue Mianmian sighed, turned his head to Lin Chongde and asked, "This matter, in fact, has nothing to do with Apple, right?"
Lin Chongde explained, "This child has cancer, and he said that he will have surgery tomorrow to remove his eyeball. She didn't want to, and ran out on her own. ”
"Tomorrow is going to have surgery?, then why didn't her parents accompany her?" asked Xue Mianmian.
Looking at Lin Yangyang's performance just now, it is obvious that he hasn't seen his parents for a day or two.
When he mentioned this, Lin Chongde was angry, he gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, the two of them...... In fact, it was fine before, but I heard that I wanted to remove an eye, and I was not happy all of a sudden, and the doctor said that if you don't remove the eye, you can try to do local chemotherapy, but the specific drugs are not sold in China, and the effect of other drugs is not so good, and it will be bad if the whole body metastasizes. Lin Chongde explained.
"Then you can't just buy it abroad!" Xue Mianmian said. She was touched by Qin Li's ears and eyes, and she believed very much that many diseases, as long as there is hope, are worth trying, and there is absolutely no reason to give up casually. Just going out to buy a medicine shouldn't be a big deal.
"It's hard. Lin Chongde shook his head in frustration, "This kind of medicine produced abroad without a batch number in China is considered a fake drug according to national regulations." If she took the medicine, she could go to the black market to spend some money to try her luck, but her medicine was used for local chemotherapy, and it had to be injected into the artery or vitreous. We can't do this kind of operation ourselves, so we can only ask the doctor for help. But if the doctor uses counterfeit medicine, there is also a legal risk. In this case, no doctor is willing to take medicine. ”
Xue Mianmian listened, and asked, "Do you want me to help you find someone to ask?" My husband is also a doctor, let me ask him if he can find someone to help." ”
Lin Chongde shook his head in frustration, "Thank you for your kindness, but...... Forget it. ”
"What's the matter? You don't want to find someone to help?" Xue Mianmian said strangely.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's really a last resort. It's not like I haven't contacted friends before, but I can't help it. This medicine has to be transported at low temperatures. This journey is so long, who can guarantee that this medicine is fine? In order not to be found out by the customs, what tricks should the smugglers not use? What should we do if the temperature rises and the medicine deteriorates when it is hidden? Even if we can afford it, the doctors cannot afford it. ”
"You mean...... Morphhalan?" Lu Weibei asked.
Lin Chongde glanced at her, as if surprised how she could guess, and then nodded.
Xue Mianmian also wondered what was going on, and asked Lu Weibei.
Lu Weibei sighed secretly and explained briefly to Xue Mianmian.
The story of Mahphalan is a typical story of good intentions doing bad things.
Lin Yangyang had retinoblastoma.
This is a malignant tumor that occurs in the eye. This kind of tumor often occurs in young children, although it is a malignant tumor, but thanks to the improvement of treatment options, the survival rate and eye preservation rate are very impressive.
There is a specific drug for this disease, called melphalan, and the use of this drug for interventional treatment can greatly improve the eye preservation rate of treatment. In the United States, where melphalan is widely used, the eye removal rate of retinoblastoma is only 6-12%, compared with the 70% eye removal rate in China, the advantage of medication is obvious.
But now the Chinese have no medicine available.
In 1996, Murphalan was successfully approved and entered the Chinese market. At that time, the relevant departments of the National Development and Reform Commission set a maximum price for melphalan, which was even only a quarter of its price in the United States. Thanks to this pricing, melphalan once became the cheapest imported anti-cancer drug, which treated many cancer patients.
It is a pity that goodwill that goes against the laws of the market is often dried up and fished.
Due to the low price, its company GlaxoSmithKline lost hundreds of millions of dollars in the sales of GlaxoSmithKline in China, and under market pressure, GlaxoSmithKline gradually withdrew from the Chinese market. In 2014, GlaxoSmithKline sold the patent for melphalan to Aspen. Since then, China has become a place where there is no sale of melphalan, and if patients want to use it, they can only buy it from other countries or regions.
But......
"Since it's retinoblastoma, it shouldn't be so difficult. Lu Weibei was puzzled, "Metropolitan local chemotherapy is a very mature technology. Although there is no legal drug use channel in China, this treatment plan is written into the expert consensus. I know that there are some doctors in China who are willing to do this kind of treatment, and I can recommend it to you. Alternatively, you can also consider taking your child to Hong Kong or abroad for treatment, there are some companies doing similar referral services, and I can also introduce you to some channels that I know. ”
"Retinoblastoma is not so difficult, but my brother and sister-in-law ...... They...... They said that the doctor said that if you can take out the eyes, you can take them off, anyway, there is one left, and you will not be completely blind. If they insist on using local chemotherapy, in case the tumor can't be controlled and spreads, they won't take Yangyang's ......" Lin Chongde was extremely sad in his heart, and glanced at Yangyang guiltily before gritting his teeth and continuing, "...... Mess. They came to the hospital to make trouble, saying that the hospital used fake medicines, or the doctor drove them out of the hospital, and let the hospital take care of the children for the rest of their lives. ”
Lin Chongde's eyes turned red, "I just want to save Yangyang again, I can't be so conscienceless and go to pit a kind doctor." It's poor Yangyang, she's only four years old, and she's so sick, but her parents don't know how to come and see her. It's been two weeks and they haven't been here once. During this time, I was also on a business trip, and there was no one around Yangyang. The operation will be done tomorrow, and the two of them came to sign and left, leaving a nurse to accompany Yangyang. If it weren't for the doctor friend I contacted before who couldn't stand it and secretly contacted me, I still wouldn't know that she didn't even have someone to accompany her. ”
Lu Wei was not used to seeing the scene of parents abandoning sick children, so he didn't feel much surprised, but he kept a straight face and didn't speak.
Xue Mianmian heard of such a thing for the first time, and said angrily, "This is too ......."
In the middle of her words, her face changed suddenly, and she frowned and was about to fall down.
Lu Wei didn't be surprised, grabbed her and let her lie on the bed slowly, and then reached out to ring the call bell at the bedside.
Xue Mianmian stopped her and said angrily, "Don't ...... Don't bother the doctor, I just have a little pain in the wound, just slow it down. ”
Lu Wei said in a hurry, "Where does the wound hurt and suddenly it hurts like this? Don't mess around!"
Lu Wei stretched out his hand to ring the bell, but Xue Mianmian grabbed her stubbornly, and after grabbing it, Lu Weibei didn't break free.
Lu Weibie's face was half blackened, and he was about to open his mouth to persuade people, when he heard someone talking behind him.
"I heard Qin Li say that your wound hurts badly, what's the matter? What about Xiao Wu?" Huo Yi asked.
Hearing this, Xue Mianmian seemed to be half in pain, half sat up, and said slowly, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the wound hurts a little." Dr. Wu is resting today. Oops, I told Qin Li that it's okay, let him not trouble you, look at him, it's really unstable. ”
She said as she desperately glanced at Huo Yi.
As a doctor, Huo Yi didn't think so much. He saw Xue Mianmian's eyes frequently turning to the upper right, and he was worried, so he stretched out his index finger and put it in front of Xue Mianmian's eyes, "You still say it's okay? What's the matter with your eyes? Can you see my fingers?"
Xue Mianmian's face instantly collapsed. She reluctantly went to the bed, covered her head with a quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "You can see it, I can see it, my eyes are fine." ”
Lu Wei didn't look at her like this, and probably guessed the reason. Xue Mianmian must have known from Qin Li that she and Huo Yi were having an awkward relationship, and she hoped that they would reconcile.
Huo Yi is not stupid, seeing that Lu Weibei is present, he also guessed a rough idea.
He felt that Qin Li was nosy.
He and Lu Weibei are not in conflict at all, they are not speculative for more than half a sentence.
So he nodded lightly to Lu Weibei, and as a greeting, he turned his head away.
How could Lu Weibei not be angry when he saw him like this?
You're going to lose your temper, won't I?
Anyway, there are more than fifty days left in the countdown, and she is determined to settle it with Huo Yi for the time being.
She didn't seem to see Huo Yi at all, "Mianmian, I'll go back first, my family is still waiting for me to have dinner." ”
"Hey, hey, don't be in a hurry to leave! Let Huo Yi send you! It's too late, it's not safe for you to wander around outside by a girl. Xue Mianmian said urgently.
Hearing this, Huo Yi reached into the pocket of his clothes with his right hand, wanting to confirm whether the car key was on his body. As soon as his hand touched the key, he was a little sobered up by the ice, and he pulled it out again, and stood with a straight face.
Lu Weibei looked at the sunset outside the window, and her temples twitched.
"Is it still late? Not even the street lights are on. Don't walk this busy man, let him go back and rest. Lu Wei said goodbye.
Huo Yi knew that she was sarcastic about her meddling with Zhang Lin, and raised her eyebrows and wanted to ridicule her, but she didn't know what to say, so she silently held back.
Lu Weibei turned to Lin Chongde, "Mr. Lin, I have left beforehand, I wish you all the best." ”
At such times, the beautiful and hopeful words of getting what you want, happiness, and joy are used here as if sarcasm, and the best words that can be wished are just one sentence of success.
Lin Chongde nodded, "Accept your auspicious words." ”
Lu Weibei squatted down again and said in Lin Yangyang's ear, "Yangyang, sister is leaving, you have to be obedient, don't sneak out again, it's very dangerous." ”
Lin Yangyang himself was tired of crying for a long time, and he nested quietly in the crook of his arm with sorrow. As soon as I heard that the sister who gave me the apple was leaving, I couldn't help but think that my parents would never come back after hearing that she needed to take the eyeball, and the apple sister was also going to leave after hearing that she was going to take the eyeball. In the future, maybe all the people who are good to her will think that she is not good-looking as a one-eyed dragon and want to leave her.
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she began to cry again.
Lu Weibei didn't expect that he could poke out such a big basket just by saying goodbye, and he was suddenly at a loss.
Huo Yi glanced at her, took a step forward, and squatted down beside Lin Yangyang. He touched Lin Yangyang's head and asked, "Yangyang, will you turn over the flower ropes?" I have a lot of very beautiful flower ropes there, do you want to go play with me and have a look? There are also pink ones!"
Lin Yangyang cried.
Huo Yi made persistent efforts and said, "Let me tell you, I have collected these flower ropes for several years, and they are very beautiful." If it was before, it is estimated that only the little princess could use it. ”
Lin Yangyang raised half of his face.
She cried so much, her face was full of tear stains from left to right, like a little flower cat.
The little flower cat had red eyes, wrapped in tears, and asked sticky, "What is a flower rope?"
"You go and take a look with me, won't you know?" Huo Yi said.
Lin Yangyang grabbed his sleeve with the hand holding his arm.
"This is my private collection, if you don't go today, you won't have a chance to see it in the future. There are a lot of pink ones!" Huo Yi said.
Lin Yangyang clenched his sleeves again, and then made up his mind and stood up from the small chair.
Huo Yi looked at her and pretended to be surprised, "Oh my God, your face is dirty!
Lin Yangyang stiffened his neck, indicating that it was not good.
The corners of Huo Yi's mouth raised an almost imperceptible smile, "The beautiful little princesses are all clean." ”
Lin Yangyang hesitated, was defeated, and obediently walked to the bathroom.
Lu Weibie, Xue Mianmian, and Lin Chongde looked at Huo Yi dumbfounded.
Huo Yi didn't seem to notice these gazes, and looked at Lin Yangyang's back in a daze.
Little girls at this age seem to like to be little princesses. Fu Yin was the same back then, jumping up and down, going up and down to uncover the tiles, naughty like a leather monkey, no one could stop her. But if you tell her the story of the little princess, you can also let her sit quietly on the stool for half an hour.
This memory made his stomach tumble and Haiti uncomfortable, he endured it for a while before returning to normal, came back to his senses and said to Lu Wei, "You go back quickly, there's nothing wrong here, don't worry." ”
Lu Weibei hesitated a little, feeling that he was too unkind to Huo Yi. This man is stubbornly irritable in some things, but he is still a good guy most of the time. And...... He does have a psychological shadow......
"Anyway, with me as a nosy person, there's nothing you can do to help. Huo Yi added.
Lu Wei didn't hesitate when he felt that he was crazy, so he cut corners and said hello, turned around and left.
