At 7 o'clock in the morning, a small island surrounded by waves in the Atlantic Ocean, the sea is sprinkled with the morning sun, seagulls gather and soar, and the seagulls swoop into the water during the undulating waves, and the sea is a rich table for seagulls.

The island is Barbados and is a scenic coral island that shines like a pearl in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

In the distance, a cruise ship gradually emerges on the endless sea level, and the cruise ship slowly docks on the pier, and passengers step into this magical capital from the deck of the cruise ship.

Meng Xianyang looked out of place in casual clothes on this island full of swimsuits and bikinis.

didn't have time to admire the white and snowy beaches around and the beauties bathing in the sun, Meng Xianyang lowered his head and quickly got into a taxi, and said in English: "Please go to the Smith Sanatorium." ”

Located on a cliff on the west coast of Barbados, Smith Nursing Home is a Gothic castle overlooking the island of Dodobas. The sanatorium was formerly a Catholic church, which was later abandoned and converted into a sanatorium by Mr. Smith, the first director of the Smith Sanatorium.

"Mr. Meng, this is a record of your daughter's expression changes in recent weeks. ”

In the office, Meng Yiran's doctor in charge, Doug, sat at his desk and took out a record sheet expressionlessly and handed it to Meng Xianyang.

"Based on your daughter's routine blood tests in the past few days, we regret to inform you that your daughter's condition has progressed to an accelerated stage. Although we have targeted your daughter with a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor on time and in full amounts, it has not been able to stop your daughter's disease from progressing. Dr. Doug said with regret on his face, "The only way now is to stabilize your daughter's condition for the time being, and then actively seek a bone marrow transplant that matches your daughter." ”

Meng Xianyang looked at the blood routine report in his hand, the words "acceleration period" on the diagnosis certificate were particularly dazzling, Meng Xianyang's hand trembled slightly, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Your Dr. Mance said that the Smith Sanatorium is the best sanatorium in the field of endocrinology......"

"I'm sorry Mr. Meng, although Smith Sanatorium has a lot of experience in the treatment of diseases in the field of endocrinology, we cannot guarantee that all patients can be 100% cured, and as far as I know, you are also studying medicine, I believe you can understand that the development of some diseases is not controllable by our current medical level. Dr. Doug comforted: "The key to the problem now is to find the right bone marrow match, we have contacted the bone marrow banks in the United States and the European Union, and the results should be available soon, and please be patient, Mr. Meng." ”

Meng Xianyang took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, and took out the lighter and lit the cigarette several times, Meng Xianyang himself is a doctor, he knows very well that Doug is just comforting himself, it is not easy to find a bone marrow that matches his daughter, and the donor myeloid cells of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation are genetically different from the origin of recipient cells, and are genetically different from kidney, liver, Compared with heart and other organ transplantation, homogeneic and allogeneic diseases are more prone to rejection, and once rejection occurs, graft-versus-host disease will occur, and the mortality rate of graft-versus-host disease is 25%!

What's more, he and his wife Li Xiuxiu have almost spent all their savings in order to treat their daughter, and they have borrowed all their relatives and friends. Even if you finally find a bone marrow that matches your daughter, you will need to take anti-immune drugs for life after the transplant. Bone marrow transplantation and postoperative treatment all require millions of dollars, which is unaffordable for ordinary families like Meng Xianyang.

Doug wanted to remind Meng Xianyang that smoking was prohibited in the hospital, but he finally opened his mouth and did not speak.

"How long will it take?" Meng Xianyang said in a hoarse voice.

"We can't predict the exact timing of bone marrow matching, so we can only wait patiently. Dr. Doug said truthfully: "In addition, Mr. Meng, the treatment fee you paid last time is almost exhausted, and with your daughter's condition, the treatment cost for the next cycle may be a lot. ”

Meng Xianyang nodded, took out a bank card from the bag on the side, rubbed it for a long time before slowly pushing it in front of Dr. Doug and said, "This card has no password, and it has $30,000 in it." ”

"Thirty thousand dollars..... Mr. Meng, I'm afraid this money is not enough for your daughter to support half a cycle. Dr. Doug grimaced, "If we run out, we may no longer be able to provide medical care for your daughter." ”

"I know this, and I will pay for the rest of the treatment as soon as possible. Meng Xianyang stood up with his bag and was silent for a moment and said, "I have only one request, I hope you can take my daughter seriously and don't let her have any more accidents." ”

"We understand this, you can rest assured. Dr. Doug put his card away and smiled.

Out of the doctor's office, Meng Xianyang walked alone in the corridor of the ward with his bag, looking a little lonely, standing in front of the window, Meng Xianyang looked at the churning waves on the west coast in the distance and tourists of all colors on the beach, Meng Xianyang sighed.

He had been to Barbados five times, but had never seen it properly.

Meng Xianyang came to Meng Yiran's hospital room, and looked through the glass window of the ward door to see his daughter lying on a sterile hospital bed with a thick oxygen mask on her face. The sun shone on Meng Yiran's face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was no blood on her face. The current Meng Yiran can't withstand the toss of any bacteria, and a small cold may kill her!

Meng Xianyang raised his head and tried to keep his tears from falling, for the sake of this daughter, except for sleeping, he gave up almost all his rest time, gave up countless opportunities for further study, and gave up his former self-talking.

The phone rang, it was his wife Li Xiuxiu's phone, and Meng Xianyang tried to calm down.

"Hey, Lao Meng, are you still in the hospital, why didn't you go home last night?" Li Xiuxiu's worried voice came from the phone

"I'm in the operating room," Meng Xianyang said as if he had just woken up, "Last night's operation lasted until after three o'clock in the morning, and I didn't go home for fear of affecting your rest." ”

"Why are you so nasal, do you have a cold?" Li Xiuxiu said worriedly: "Did you sleep last night without a quilt?"

"It's okay, I'll just drink more hot water, how many times have I been sick over the years?" Li Shangai comforted: "I won't tell you first, I will have to check the ward later." ”

"Will you come back tonight?"

"If it's all right, I'll go back. After Meng Xianyang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Stopping at the door of Meng Yiran's ward for a minute, Meng Xianyang turned around and left, without a trace of nostalgia, but the pace of his departure was a little staggering.

..........

In the office of the director of neurosurgery at the Affiliated Hospital of Nanyao Medical College, Li Shangai sat at his desk and looked at an email on the screen, his excitement indescribable.

Yesterday, after Yi Sheng sent Liang Susu's nervous system physical examination form to himself, Li Shangai immediately added Liang Susu's postoperative recovery to the previously prepared papers, and then sent all the papers to the domestic office of "Neurosurgical review" in the form of email.

I have to say that the efficiency of top journals like "Neurosurgical review" is still quite high, and I replied to Li Shangai the next day, which is like the dozen papers that Li Shangai sent to domestic journals before, and there was no news for half a month.

"Dear author, it is a great honor to receive your submission, and after many discussions by the review team, we have decided to upload your submission to the general journal of Neurosurgical review for review, and we hope that you will be patient. ”

"The general journal!" Li Shangai lamented, even he did not expect that this paper would be sent to the general journal of the Neurosurgical review for review.

"Director, the province has come down for inspection, and it seems that the person who came to our hospital for inspection is Wei Xiang, director of the Provincial Health Bureau. Just when Li Shangai was singing and dancing with Erlang's legs crossed, and a few strands of hair on his head swaying in the wind, He Zhenhao opened the door and walked in without even knocking on the door.

"Bastard, don't you know you have to knock on the door before you come in?" said Li Shangai with angry eyes.

It was a very embarrassing thing to be seen by his subordinates in the office, and He Zhen also knew this, so he hurriedly covered his eyes and retreated: "Why is it dark this day, hey! I can't see anything!"

The door of the office was closed, and after a while, there was a knock on the door, and He Zhen's flattering voice came from outside: "Director, can I come in?"

Li Shangai hurriedly put on his shoes, tidied up his clothes, and then picked up the newspaper on the side as if nothing had happened: "Come in." ”

"Director, the province has come down for inspection, and it seems that the person who came to our hospital for inspection is Wei Xiang, director of the Provincial Health Bureau. He Zhen said: "Dean Han has already gone to pick it up, it is estimated that it will be there in a while, and Dean Han will bring Director Wei to our department at that time, so that we can prepare in advance." ”

"Wei Xiang, isn't the director of the Provincial Health Bureau Li Wenzhong?" Li Shangai frowned.

"It is said that he was transferred from above, with a very deep background, and since taking office, he has caught a lot of bribes from pharmaceutical companies," He Zhen paused and whispered: "It is said that the vice president of the provincial hospital and the director of Hengyuan Hospital were all pulled down by him. ”

"Just be yourself. Li Shangai stood up and said: "In this way, since the director of the bureau is going to come to inspect, we have to make some preparations, you go and talk to Liang Susu's mother Pan Yun, when this Director Wei comes in a while, take Liang Susu's case as our main display point, you just go and prepare Liang Susu's medical records, and you don't need to receive it, what should you be busy with." ”
