"Teacher Song, do you want to use MRI, don't we have an MRI machine in our hospital?" Guo Xiang said.

Last time, I learned from Mr. Yang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the cancer hospital has the only two MRIs in the country, and it cost 1.5 million US dollars to import it.

"Yes, but the cost of an MRI is too high." Song Ting groaned deeply for a moment.

Guo Xiang nodded, that's right, I thought it would be cheap in this era, but the MRI instrument is so expensive, it is close to the price of later generations, and the cost should not be cheap.

"How much does it cost once?" Guo Xiang asked.

"It's about three hundred yuan, and it's even more expensive if it's a head." Song Tingshen said.

In this era, the salary is only more than 100 a month, and the salary is gone in three months after doing it once.

If Lin Yingguo himself is okay, he is a public official and can be reimbursed for medical expenses, but Lin Jingan is still a student, and there is no medical insurance or anything like that, so he has to bear the expenses by himself.

Although Lin Yingguo is a county magistrate, his salary at this time is low, and the money can be calculated, if there is no gray income, his lifetime savings may only be twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

Seeing a doctor almost costs all your savings.

The main thing is that the disease may not be seen well.

In the future, a liver cancer will almost cost 200,000 or 300,000 yuan, and ordinary families do not say that they can take it out casually.

So as the saying goes, there is no other disease, illness, especially a serious illness, no matter what era ordinary people can't afford to have.

"Or CT augmentation? Then you have to create a shadow agent......," Guo Xiang said, but the cost is much cheaper.

"What do you mean by MRI? Is it more beneficial for my son? Lin Yingguo asked.

"Uncle Lin, this MRI is a kind of examination instrument, which can clearly show the internal structure of liver tumor and its relationship with intrahepatic blood vessels, and can clearly show the internal structural characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma, which is more conducive to our diagnosis, but the cost is too high."

"There is also a CT machine, which is also possible, but it requires CT enhancement and creates a contrast agent, which can also achieve the same purpose, and the cost is cheaper."

"Of course, the diagnosis of liver cancer is not only this, but also the five liver cancer and B-ultrasound adjuvant, but those two imaging examinations are the most expensive." Guo Xiang said.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Lin Yingguo asked.

Guo Xiang pondered for a moment, in fact, in later life, she preferred to use MRI, because MRI can provide more information than CT examination, and the resolution of soft tissues is higher than CT.

In some patients, if a CT scan has been done beforehand, the doctor sometimes recommends that the patient have another MRI.

But now the situation is a little different, the cost is too high in this era, and it is not impossible to use CT, so it is better to save a little bit.

"Then CT?" Guo Xiang asked Song Tingshen.

He nodded, "Yes." ”

Lin Yingguo also nodded, they didn't understand this at all, of course, what the doctor said, and he was also familiar with Guo Xiang, so he knew that she shouldn't be able to cheat herself.

Song Tingshen issued an order for Lin Jingan to be hospitalized and arranged various examinations.

"Doctor Song, can my son's disease be cured?" Mother Lin asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Song Tingshen and Guo Xiang glanced at each other and said, "Actually, we now have a way to replace your son's liver, that is, if the two of you match your son's blood type and your body is fine, donate a liver to transplant it to your son." ”

"Is that okay? Then I do! Lin Mu said immediately.

"However, we have never used this operation in clinical practice, and we don't know if it can be successful, and we don't know if this operation can be approved." Song Tingshen said.

This is to be made clear, and the patient's family should not be allowed to blindly hold on to hope.

"So no one has ever done it before?" Lin Yingguo frowned.

"Yes, so after we have done the examination now, we can only temporarily treat conservatively, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and try to prolong the patient's life." Song Tingshen said helplessly, "Now the advanced stage of liver cancer is an incurable disease, and we can't do anything about it." ”

"In other words, there is still a glimmer of hope for liver replacement, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed?" Lin Yingguo asked.

"Yes!" Song Tingshen nodded, "I can't even guarantee whether I can have this operation, because it has always been in the experimental stage before, and I haven't done it yet." ”

"But animal experiments have been successful." Guo Xiang interjected, and she came from a later life, knowing that this operation was very common in the future, and it was very promising to succeed.

"As long as there is a glimmer of life, we are willing to try!" Lin Yingguo said that his son is still so young, and he has been admitted to such a good school, and he has a great future, so he can't let it be ruined.

"Okay, I will convey your wishes, and I will wait for the notice, and I will treat conservatively during this time." Song Tingshen said.

"Then Doctor Song, you bother." Lin Yingguo shook Song Tingshen's hand.

Song Tingshen arranged for Lin Jingan to stay in the ward.

Guo Xiang asked Lin Jing'an's parents, "What will be the arrangements for uncles and aunts in the future?" ”

You should leave someone to take care of Lin Jing'an, you won't let Zhang Ling take care of it all the time, right?

"I stayed, Jing'an's father took a week off, and he had to go back to work. It is impossible for both of us to be here, there is a young son at home, and Jing'an's father's unit is not something that can be left at once, and the family still needs someone to make money. Mother Lin said, looking a little sad.

"Understood!" Guo Xiang nodded, "Then don't look for a hotel to live in, just rent a room, rent a room cheaply, and it will be more convenient to send food to Lin Jingan in the future." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Mother Lin nodded.

"Auntie, then I'll take you to find a house." Zhang Ling said, after all, he has been in the capital for two years, and he is still familiar with this side.

"I'm sorry for you!" Mother Lin was very grateful.

Guo Xiang didn't say anything, she wouldn't let them go to her house to live in her own house so much, once there were Gu Zhennan and his grandfather at home, they might not like strangers to live at home.

Second, they are not relatives, and it is not bad to be able to help here, and they don't want to make more trouble for themselves.

Besides, renting a house is not expensive now, and most of the people who go to see a doctor go to see a doctor, which is nothing.

However, if the above approves this operation, this is the first liver transplant, maybe as an experiment, the operation fee can be waived.

Thinking like this, Guo Xiang decided to ask Song Tingshen if he could reduce the operation fee.

Guo Xiang called Zhang Ling out, "Don't you have to go to class?" Here's Lin Jing'an's mother, don't worry about it in the future, and you'......"

Guo Xiang looked at her belly and whispered, "For the sake of the child in your belly." ”

"I know." Zhang Ling nodded, "I just took a few days off and have to go back to class." Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take notice. ”

"Then I won't be here in the afternoon, I only took half a day off, and I'll talk to Teacher Song later, you don't have to worry so much about this matter." Guo Xiang said.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhang Ling nodded.
