Chapter Seventy-Seven: Nonsense
"There must be something wrong with something. Sitting in the office chair where Li Yunjing usually sits, Liang Baoguang tapped the armrest of the chair again and again, and the knocking sound was completely synchronized with the ticking of the wall clock, showing his amazing control, "Michelle, do you think that Carl Alexander looks familiar?"
Li Yunjing shook her head annoyedly, she has been a scholar who only knows how to read and study since she was a child, and she has never left the country except to study in the United States, and during that time in the United States, she was not in school and was in the hospital, and it was completely impossible to intersect with a certain Greek on the other side of the ocean, "I don't think so, and does this have anything to do with Claudia's condition?"
"Maybe there is, maybe not. When vasculitis was ruled out, Liang Baoguang was also a little helpless, judging from Claudia Alexander's kidney failure, she had at most seventy-two hours to spare, which means that if he couldn't find an answer and a treatment plan within three days, the girl would die, "Then I'm going to find out what we're missing, damn, I feel more like a detective than a doctor now." ”
"Can you go and check what, see if they have falsified the case?" Li Yunjing was a little speechless.
"Michelle, is the little girl's mother here today, I don't seem to have seen her all along?" Liang Baoguang suddenly reacted that something was wrong, he hadn't seen the woman named Maria since he came in the morning, only Carl Alexander was busy.
"When she checked her child in the morning, she said she was a little thirsty and went downstairs to Starbucks for coffee, which is normal. "Li Yunjing is a woman, so she is not only responsible for communicating with Claudia, but also with Maria Alexander, so she remembers these details clearly.
"It's very abnormal, to say something you don't like to hear, the reason why this family brought their children over to see a doctor is not because of how powerful your Korea University Hospital is, but purely because they trust my medical skills, in this case, it makes no sense that I came but she avoided it, and the normal mother must have pestered me to ask non-stop, how could I hide in the café." Liang Baoguang has seen a lot of patients' families and knows their behavior patterns very well, "Follow me to find out what this Maria lady is doing, and can ignore my charm." ”
Liang Baoguang first went to the ward to find Karl Alexander, and then accompanied by him, he met Maria, who was sitting motionless like a statue in the hospital café, "Hello Madame Alexander, I am sorry about Ling Ai, but we have done everything possible to treat her." ”
On the table in front of the woman was a cup of Americano on the rocks, the ice in it had almost melted, and the outer walls of the cup were covered with water droplets, and it was obvious that she had been sitting here for quite some time. The droplets of water slid down the walls of the cup and spread out under the cup as a puddle of water, and the phone she had placed on the table was soaked in the puddle, but she seemed to be completely unaware of it, and remained motionless.
"Maria, I know you're sad right now, but Dr. Liang ......" Carl Alexander saw that his wife ignored Liang Baoguang, and his face was a little unbearable.
"Wait. Liang Baoguang stopped Carl Alexander, took the pen and flashlight from the pocket on the chest of Li Yunjing's white coat, and shook it twice into Maria's eyes, "No matter what disease your daughter has, your wife obviously has it too, because she is sleepwalking now." ”
The scope of the disease was narrowed down to "genetic diseases", and the situation seemed to be simpler all of a sudden, but in fact, Liang Baoguang was still powerless, because there were too many possibilities, and it would take nearly a week to verify one of them, and Claudia, who had kidney failure and could not do dialysis, could not hold on to that time at all, "Mr. Carl, your wife proposed to travel to South Korea, right?"
"That's right. Carl Alexander nodded.
"Okay, now please wake up your wife, trouble. Liang Baoguang sighed, his expression was very subtle.
Maria Alexander was gently patted on the shoulder by her husband, and when she came back to her senses, she didn't understand the situation at all, she was surprised why she was surrounded by several people, and she didn't know when these people came, "What's going on, Claudia?"
"Lady Alexander, I have good news and bad news for you. Liang Baoguang pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Maria Claudia, and looked at her very directly, "The good news is that Claudia's cause has been found, and she will get better soon as she receives treatment." ”
"Well, what about the bad news?" said Maria Alexander, tilting her head, waiting for Liang Baoguang's words.
"The bad news is...... In fact, I lied to you just now, your daughter has advanced kidney failure, and she can't go on kidney dialysis because of low blood pressure, and she has three days to live at most. Liang Baoguang spread his hands, showing an expression of powerlessness, and also said the line that doctors most often say in the TV series, "We have done our best." ”
"You're crazy, how can you treat a mother who is about to lose her child like this!" Before the Alexander couple could say it, Li Yunjing was angry first, Liang Baoguang has always not played cards according to the routine, and she has seen more of his bastard side over the years, but this time she really couldn't bear it, and immediately grabbed his collar.
"Dr. Liang, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Karl Alexander also stood angrily in front of Liang Baoguang.
"The explanation is that I lied to you, I know what kind of disease Claudia has, and I know how to cure her. Liang Bao was clearly answering the other two's words, but he didn't take his eyes off Maria's face, paying attention to her every expression.
"You know what Claudia is sick with, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Karl Alexander was still very angry.
"Because I just found out about it through your wife's test. Liang Baoguang pursed his lips, there were some things he didn't want to say in front of this man, even if it was about the lives of his wife and daughter, "Mr. Alexander, can you please stay away for a while, I have something I want to say to Mrs. Zun alone." ”
"We are husband and wife, why should I be shunned?" Karl Alexander refused, and his wife nodded, signaling Liang Baoguang to speak directly.
Liang Baoguang looked at Karl Alexander helplessly, "Your wife and daughter have familial Mediterranean fever. ”
"Nonsense, although the symptoms are all the same, but familial Mediterranean fever requires two mutant copies to get sick, Claudia is of mixed Asian and European descent, and Asians can't get ......" Li Yunjing suddenly shut up, she finally understood why Liang Baoguang asked Carl Alexander to avoid it just now.
