Chapter 027: Start earning medical bills

Wen Ming's deeds, deliberately promoted by James and others, can almost be said to have spread all over the United States.

The recent near-bizarre encounter of the internationally renowned Harvard freshman is very fascinating news in itself. Moreover, because after Wen Ming was stranded on a desert island, the search and rescue team that James and others were looking for only perfunctorily searched and rescued Wen Ming for less than two days before announcing Wen Ming's death.

As a result, the topic of racial discrimination has made all Americans hotly discussed.

The United States is the country that pays the most attention to 'human rights' in the world, but since the founding of the United States, problems related to racial discrimination have emerged one after another.

Not to mention the massacre of Indians and the problem of black slaves in the early days, in modern times, the United States has even passed the 'Chinese Exclusion Act' in a bright way, and even in the modern United States, the discrimination against blacks and yellows has never disappeared.

The only change may be that it is no longer so upright.

"If you do die in that shipwreck, then this topic will only spark a short discussion."

Cage said: "However, you came back alive after more than four months, which made the topic of racial discrimination crazy by everyone again. ”

Cancer treatment does not come just at once, and requires a series of tests and preparations. Therefore, Wen Ming was still in a hospital in Miami at this time.

In the ward, Wen Ming was relatively familiar with several people in this world.

James took over and said, "Yes, a lot of people are attacking the search and rescue team now, because your rescue experience has been published by all the Donners people, and there is a video they took when they found you." ”

The purpose of Donus and the others going to sea is to explore, how can they not bring cameras and other equipment? When Donus spotted Wen Ming and his canoe, he had already had people ready for the camera to shoot.

Among the pictures, in addition to Wen Ming drifting with the waves in the wind and waves, there are also pictures of them scooping up Wen Ming with fishing nets, and there are also pictures of Wen Ming being skinny all over his body when Wen Ming was pulled out of the fishing nets by them.

"They've done us a lot of help, and a lot of them have condemned the search and rescue team's previous inaction, and those denunciations have been public," James said. Now, they're on a lot of shows, they're being interviewed, and they're having a lot of viewers supporting them. ”

David was actually a little puzzled and asked, "But even if it turns out that they are racist, what does it matter?" At most, they just apologize, it is impossible to lose money, aren't we trying to help Wen Ming earn his medical bills? ”

"We don't want them to apologize, we don't want them to lose money, our purpose is to make Wenming more visible through the topic of racial discrimination," Barrister Sith explained. ”

David nodded as if he didn't understand, the topic of racial discrimination always gets more attention in the United States. If you want to help Wenming get more donations, then, of course, the more people know about it, the better.

Wen Ming lay on the hospital bed and listened to the discussion of James and the others, and did not express any opinions.

He has been thinking about the question of whether there are dinosaurs in this world or not. The dinosaurs he was thinking about were naturally not dinosaurs that died out millions of years ago, but whether there were living dinosaurs in modern society.

This world is consistent with the history of his previous life, and dinosaurs naturally exist, but this also illustrates a problem, that is, dinosaurs have long since perished.

"In "Jurassic Park", the technology of making dinosaurs is to use the dinosaur blood absorbed by prehistoric mosquitoes to extract dinosaur DNA information. However, whether or not we can find the amber that encased the prehistoric mosquitoes, even if we do, it will take a long time to successfully create a dinosaur. ”

"Moreover, the growth of dinosaurs naturally cannot be from eggs to behemoths in a few months. On top of that, there's a lot of money involved. And I, there is no money. ”

Time and money, these two are what Wen Ming lacks the most now, if he still has time, then, money is naturally not a problem. But he didn't know how much time he had left, a year? Or two years? Or five years?

Or, like Steve Jobs, last up to eight years?

If he doesn't have time, then naturally there is no way to get money. But without money, he can't complete the plan to make dinosaurs, can't face the hunt of dinosaurs, can't dream again, and can't use the movie knowledge in his dreams to save himself.

That is, there is no way for him to get more time.

This seems to be an endless loop.

"Wenming, Wenming?"

James raised his voice and asked, "Are you listening?" ”

Wen Ming came back to his senses at this time, smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, I'm listening." ”

James sighed in his heart and said, "Now you have a few physical examinations left, and you can complete them today." What we mean by this is being able to have some formal interviews before you start surgery. ”

The cost of surgical treatment is very high, but it is actually not a problem for Wen Ming, he has some savings of his own, and Lawyer Sith and James are also willing to provide him with some help.

However, what he lacked was the cost of post-operative treatment, the expensive medicines, and even the cost of treatment for a second operation.

Lawyer Sith has his own family and his own life, and James and the others are just students, and even if they can get some support from their families, they can't be treated as ATMs.

Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu, whether it is to give or take, you need to master a degree, no help is deserved, and no pay is unreserved.

Although Wen Ming knew that this was just a drop in the bucket to save his life, he still had a lot of gratitude in his heart.

"Thank you, I'm willing to be interviewed and on some shows."

Wen Ming temporarily put aside his fantasies about dinosaurs and said, "Don't worry too much about me, although I have cancer, in the short term, my physical condition is still fine." ”

David nodded and said, "I communicated with the doctor, and I also called back to the school to ask a few mentors, and they said that your pancreatic cancer was detected early, which is very helpful for treatment." If surgery ...... The surgery will definitely be successful, and after the operation, as long as you take adjuvant treatment such as chemotherapy on time, you can live for five years......"

David stopped as he spoke, although Wen Ming has a good chance of living for five years, but five years, for a 19-year-old person, what is it? Chances are, it's not enough to even finish at Harvard.

Several others also fell silent, with only a 40% chance of living two years for pancreatic cancer and only 2% for five years, according to the latest data. Wen Ming's current state is already the best category of pancreatic cancer patients.

However, after all, there is a high chance that the operation will fail, or it will deteriorate after surgery.

Wen Ming suddenly laughed and said, "Five years is a lot, maybe after five years, there will be a way to treat cancer." ”

James and the others all agreed with a smile, but they all knew in their hearts that with the current level of medical care and development, what Wen Ming said was something that was impossible to achieve.

"So, our goal now is to make money."

Wen Ming continued to laugh and said: "James, do you want to be my agent, maybe, I can still become a star." ”

James smiled wryly: "You don't seem to have as many Facebook followers as I do." ”

Lawyer Sith was the oldest, and reminded: "Wen Ming, I think you are in good shape now, there are reporters waiting outside, it is the New York Times and some other media with a large audience, do you want to ......"

Wen Ming nodded and said, "No problem, let them in, I can be interviewed now, in fact, I still have the idea of publishing a book." If it becomes a bestseller, the cost of treatment will not be a problem at all. ”
