80 Those things in the hospital

Whether in later generations or now in the 70s, the United States is a place where a large number of elites gather, unlike the huge racial concepts that exist in places such as Britain, Germany, Japan and France, where any elite from all over the world can fit into this environment very well, of course, first you have to be an elite, preferably white.

Throughout the 20th century, three mega-projects were born in human history: the Manhattan atomic bomb program, the Apollo moon landing program, and the Human Genome Project.

The first two were completed by the United States almost independently, and the last one was led by the United States and completed by the entire West.

The gnashing of teeth and gnashing of teeth that countless netizens hated in later generations was born here, but the genetic plan is correct, and genetically modified is just one of the products, just like the atomic bomb is to nuclear energy, and the artillery shell is to gunpowder, there is no right or wrong in a technology itself, just to see who will use it and what the purpose is.

These three programs have contributed to the development of human civilization, and the Manhattan Project is not only the development of the atomic bomb, but also the subsequent use of nuclear energy.

Apollo is not only the moon landing, the subsequent dozens of Mars exploration, Jupiter, Venus and other plans of the technology are derived from this, not to mention that these technologies are converted into civilian products after it is more convenient for countless human beings, the simplest example is the diapers used by our children, at the beginning of the invention to help astronauts solve the problem of internal emergencies in the cabin, not to mention the back satellite GPS, weather forecasting and other technologies.

The last contribution of human genome engineering is even greater, in later generations, we know about targeted drugs, insulin, dozens of vaccines in infancy, these are all born from the technology derived from genetic engineering, if there is no genetic engineering, in the underdeveloped areas, I don't know how many babies will die from various infections.

And the Gleevec miracle drug mentioned in later generations (I am not the god of medicine) has not yet been born in this era, and if you suffer from chronic leukemia, the only way is to transplant bone marrow.

St. Helens Hospital, Los Angeles.

It is one of the most well-known hospitals in the world, with a large number of specialists in the treatment of cancer, and it also has one of the highest leukemia cure rates.

16th floor, in the Intensive Care Unit:

"Rachel, let's eat some porridge!" said a middle-aged woman with blonde hair next to the hospital bed with tears in her eyes.

On the hospital bed, a blonde girl about 10 years old, thin as skin and bones, with a transparent oxygen mask on her nose, after hearing her mother's voice, she opened her tired eyes and looked at the gruel without a trace of vegetables in front of her, although she wanted to eat something more nutritious, but the condition on her body no longer allowed her to have any choice.

Seeing that the child was willing to eat, the mother immediately stepped forward gently to untie the oxygen mask, mixed the gruel, and slowly fed a few mouthfuls with a spoon.

"Ahh

When the mother saw it, she immediately put the porridge on the side of the bed, and hurriedly connected the oxygen mask regardless of whether it was stable or not.

"Bang", the sound of the porridge bowl hitting the ground came, and the porcelain bowl shattered piece by piece.

The man, who was dozing off on the sofa in the back, was awakened by the sound of the bowl breaking, immediately stood up, rushed to the side of the bed and asked, "What's the matter?"

The middle-aged woman watched the child slowly gasp, wiped the tears on her face, swallowed, and cried and said, "I just wanted to give Rachel something to eat, but I didn't expect ......"

The middle-aged man held back the pain in his heart and said, "The doctor said that Rachel can't leave oxygen, otherwise it is likely to ......"

The middle-aged woman squatted down and began to clean up the debris on the ground, and after a while, she said, "Let's give Rachel a nutrient infusion!

The middle-aged man clenched his fists, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and said painfully: "The nutrient solution is too expensive, if we use the nutrient solution, we will have to use the money from Rachel's surgery, I'd better go down and buy a straw!"

"You know straws. The woman threw the purse on the man, and suddenly cried out in a frenzy: "If it weren't for your refusal to work for several years, you know how we would have become what we are today, if it weren't for the lack of income, how would we have rented such a shabby house, how could Rachel have this disease, and how could she not have enough insurance." ”

The man stood in the doorway, regardless of where he had been hit, holding on to the door frame, silent and silent.

"Don't make any noise!" the girl on the hospital bed slowly recovered, but her voice was still soft because of her weak body.

The middle-aged woman ignored her husband, walked to the side of the hospital bed, gently stroked her daughter's hair, and the man also walked over from the door.

The little girl smiled and said, "Don't fight for me anymore, it's useless."

Dad, you are a hero in my heart, I only hope that you can come out of the shadow of the war in the morning, stop drinking every day, find a job well, I will be away in the future, you have to take good care of your mother, have another child, and then don't go through the life I lived again.

Mom, don't blame Dad, he is also a victim of the war, you have to work hard in the future, our greatest happiness is to live together as a family, and now it won't be long, let's cherish all this!"

The little girl was weak, and after saying all this intermittently, she soon became sleepy again.

"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.

The girl's parents immediately picked up a tissue and wiped away their tears, and the middle-aged woman said tremblingly: "It should be a doctor." ”

The man nodded and walked to the door, saw a doctor and 2 nurses outside from the glass, and hurriedly opened the door.

After the doctor and others came in, he nodded politely to the middle-aged man, and immediately walked to the little girl's bedside, looked at her eyes, sounded her heartbeat again, and quickly said to the nurse: "Prepare the nutrient solution, add ***." ”

The nurse immediately took out a bag of potion from the push box, drew several blue potions with a syringe, and injected them into the nutrient solution.

The middle-aged man looked at everything in front of him, and some didn't quite understand that in the United States, although the patient can be treated first and then charged, but because there is not enough insurance, he owes a lot of money last time his daughter was sick, which has affected the credibility of their family.

"What's going on?" the man asked, walking to the front.

The doctor was still doing the examination, and said to the man, "I'll talk about it later, I'll finish the examination first." ”

......

Half an hour later, the doctor finished a detailed examination, walked up to the middle-aged man and woman and said: "Rachel's illness has become more and more serious, and several places of skin on her back have begun to rot, but because of insufficient platelets, there is no way to heal, fortunately, it is found early now, otherwise in a few days, once infected, I am afraid it will be life-threatening, how do you do parents, this has not been found?." ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at the child and said in a low voice: "Rachel can't leave oxygen now, there is no way to take a bath, I just wiped her body, but she insisted on wiping her back, saying that it hurts too much to turn over, and her back is not very dirty, so I didn't care." ”

The doctor glanced back at the girl who had fallen into a deep sleep and sighed, "She's amazing. ”

The man asked, "Doctor, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

The doctor said, "Oh, somebody added $5,000 to your account at the hospital, so that's why we're coming?"

The man asked urgently, "Who?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's an Asian man and woman, they should have left their contact information at the front desk, you go and ask!"
