Chapter 1115: Pain and Warmth
Zhou Wei once saw some reports about ALS on the Internet.
The incidence of this disease in China is almost 4 in 100,000, which means that there are about 4 to 80,000 patients in a population of more than one billion.
And at this moment—
Dr. Phil in front of him gave a lower probability of occurring.
Variant conditions.
Oxemmer.
Even in patients with ALS, there is only a 3 in 1,000 chance of occurring.
Three thousandths of a hundred thousandths of a mile.
"One in ten million......" Zhou Wei muttered almost subconsciously, and for a while he only felt that his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly.
The world is so big.
Billions of people are close to 10 billion.
The probability of 1 in 10 million would have been almost negligible.
But when it falls on a specific person...... What kind of mood should it be for that sick individual, what kind of powerlessness and despair.
It's as if ......
It's a kind of predestination.
"Terrible luck, isn't it?" Dr. Phil looked at Zhou Wei, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an expression that seemed to be smiling: "It's even rarer than winning the lottery." ”
It sounds like it's a joke though.
But perhaps it is because the stereotypical British are not good at humor, or perhaps it is because the atmosphere in the garden is cold and windy at the moment, so that when the joke is spoken, neither the speaker nor the listener is in the slightest mood to be amused.
Silent.
And then heavy.
Trying to adjust his mood, while thinking about whether Vice President Chu in China also understood this matter clearly, Zhou Wei looked at Doctor Phil again: "This...... Oxemmer, more severe than ordinary ALS? ”
This is a reconfirmation of the verification.
Not surprisingly, Dr. Phil nodded:
"Yes."
"It's also trickier."
"In terms of incubation time and duration of the disease, its characteristics may seem similar to that of ordinary ALS, but the treatment drugs we can provide for ordinary ALS patients in the medical field have less than 30% of the effect on Olsenmuer."
Zhou Wei faintly woke up when he heard it:
"So-"
Dr. Phil took a deep breath: "So, the pain that Oxemmer's patients need to endure during the course of their illness...... It is also much more than the average ALS patient. ”
Zhou Wei only felt that his eyelids jumped slightly, and asked again in his mood: "What kind of pain is it?" ”
Dr. Phil glanced at Zhou Wei, with a flat look on his face, and the answer he gave was extremely concise:
"Pain."
"Physical pain."
In addition to dysphagia and breathing disorders in the middle and late stages of the disease, ordinary ALS patients only have gradual weakness of the muscles of the limbs in the early stage of the course of the disease, but at least it does not reach the level of physical pain.
But Oxemmer patients would.
"From the moment the onset of the condition, it means that you will not be in pain all the time."
Dr. Phil, whose tone was calm, as if he was just stating a prosaic fact, couldn't stop his eyelids fluttering slightly at this time:
"The three-tenths of the effect of the drug is limited to relieving muscle weakness."
"But for this body ache—"
"There is nothing that can be done."
Zhou Wei only felt an unstoppable chill rising from his back and rushing straight to his head, a little tingling, even if it was just through the oral narration of Dr. Phil in front of him, he could imagine what it was like-
Pain that cannot be resolved by medication is always present.
The limbs of the body are a little loose and weak.
What kind of despair should it be, it can almost completely crush a person with a strong will.
And all this, the current bearer is just a girl who may not be under twenty years old.
How much pain must have been her way through...... Can it still hold on to this far?
Suddenly thinking of something, Zhou Wei looked at Dr. Phil:
"This disease...... How long has it been on that girl's body? ”
Dr. Phil's eyelashes trembled slightly, lowered his eyes, and slowly replied, "The course of the disease has begun until now...... It's been a whole year – half a year from the time of hospitalization. ”
"That is to say, the first half of the year...... She hasn't even been to the hospital yet? ”
Zhou Wei's eyes widened uncontrollably, almost unable to believe such a thing.
I have this disease......
Suffering like that......
I didn't get to the hospital as soon as possible, and it took half a year to start the formal and serious treatment, and that girl ...... Or what the hell does her family think!?
Shaking his head to put aside such an inexplicable anger and anger for the time being, Zhou Wei asked with anticipation with perseverance again:
"And this disease...... Is there a cure for this Oxumer? ”
Unconsciously, even Zhou Weiwei didn't realize that he seemed to have far more worries and concerns about the unmasked girl than a stranger should have.
However, such an expectant inquiry fell on Dr. Phil, and he could only answer with a wry smile:
"Even ordinary ALS is not an easy cure."
"Cassie's case of Oxemmer has very few other cases in the world that we can learn from, so there is no way to refer to it, even here in St. Edinland...... She could only try to control her condition and not worsen it further, while constantly trying to use experimental drugs. ”
Zhou Wei was stunned:
"Experimental drugs?"
Then he suddenly reacted: "Isn't that just treating people as ......?"
"Mice." Phil took over directly, and admitted bitterly and helplessly: "Yes, it can only be like this now." ”
"That'...... Does it work? Zhou Wei swallowed.
Phil was silent.
After a while, he shook his head with difficulty:
"Minimally."
"Even because there are experimental drugs that have not been confirmed, many of them have side effects on patients after taking them, such as potentially exacerbating pain—"
As he spoke, as if recalling something, Dr. Phil sighed a little:
"Even Cassie's parents couldn't take it anymore, but that good girl...... I never cried out in pain, and I didn't even complain even once. ”
"The gradual weakening of the muscles in the limbs requires continuous rehabilitation exercises."
"There are also various injections."
"The pain of taking various experimental drugs, as well as the pain of her own condition."
"Yes sir, you can probably imagine how unbearable it was, no adult male could hold on, and even I have seen someone break down and cry, but that girl—"
"Never, just smiling."
Zhou Wei's body couldn't help but shake slightly when he heard this.
Dr. Phil was looking at him, and his tone was more serious than ever:
"From her face, I can never see the look of pain or sadness, and I always infect and comfort everyone around her with such a warm smile like the sun."
"Honestly, before meeting Cassie...... I never imagined that there would be such a pure and perfect girl as a jewel in the world. ”
As if infected by Dr. Phil's descriptive words, Zhou Wei's mind couldn't help but be a little fluctuating, and nodded subconsciously:
"Indeed."
"That's really amazing—"
But the next moment, Zhou Wei, who suddenly came back to his senses, remembered something, and his mood suddenly sank to the bottom:
"But this morning's surgery?"
The look on Dr. Phil's face also became serious and solemn again at this moment:
"Yes."
"As I said, something happened—"
"So maybe now isn't the right time for us to stop and talk slowly, sir, let's hurry up and get over first."
