Chapter 13: The First Man to Eat Crabs

In New York, 17-year-old Nick walks through towering buildings back to Brooklyn, holding in his hands leftovers from a Chinese restaurant, which are the food for today and tomorrow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Boss Li of the Chinese restaurant is a kind man, and he won't chase away rats like those white bosses. When diners have leftover food, Boss Li will put it in a clean plastic bucket outside the house, which not only respects the poor Nick, but also keeps him and his family fed.

Deep in the squalid alleys of Brooklyn, Nick's home is Nick's home in a shack made of scrap plastic sheets and shiny, home to his five-year-old brother, Mill, and his seriously ill mother, Quinn, who died on the streets three years ago from an overdose of XI's BING.

Seeing his brother come back, Mir threw down the model car that had no wheels to greet his brother, and he swallowed as he watched the food in his brother's hand, this little guy grew up eating Chinese food.

Nick smiled warmly and took out a half-eaten meat bun from the plastic bag and handed it to Mir, "Take it and eat it." ”

Ignoring his dirty little hands, Mir grabbed the meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, he was very hungry.

Putting down the food in his hand, Nick went to visit his mother by the bed, which was made of discarded wooden planks.

When Quinn saw his son return, he wanted to say hello, but as soon as he inhaled hard, he kept coughing.

Nick quickly grabbed an old newspaper from his side, and the blood was clicked out by Quinn along with thick phlegm, and then she lay on the bed panting, no longer having any strength.

Nick took his mother to a community hospital six months ago, and was told that lung cancer required chemotherapy, and that poor families could afford the expensive treatment, so he had to take his mother home.

Nick wanted to give his mother some food, but Quinn shook his head, "Nick, I can't eat it." ”

Holding his mother's thin hand, Nick told her what he had decided, "Mum, today I heard from the doctor in the community that the Mayo Clinic has developed a new treatment for lung disease, and your disease can be completely cured. ”

Quinn smiled reluctantly, how could she not know her son's filial piety to her, but the impoverished economy decided everything.

"Forget Nick, it must be expensive."

Nick lowered his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up with hope, and said: "It's a new technology, everyone says it's a trick of Eastern China, so no one dares to try it, so the Mayo Clinic is recruiting volunteers to provide free treatment, there are only ten, I want to give it a try." ”

"China?" The Nick family, who have long accepted Boss Li's favor, have an inexplicable affection for China, and Quinn thought for a while and said, "That country is as kind as their people, how can it be a deception." ”

"I think so too! Mum, let's go and see how! It's better than being here and watching you get weaker day by day! Nick made up his mind.

Early the next morning, after placing Mir Jr. in a neighbor's house, Nick took all of the family's savings and took Quinn to the Mayo Clinic.

……

Dr. Carter listened to Shen Huai's suggestion and recruited volunteers for free treatment, and two weeks later, no one dared to try.

At this time, the assistant told him that he thought the black woman was suffering from lung cancer and was willing to be treated.

As the first patient with parasitic chlorophyll protein at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Carter took it very seriously and immediately went to the treatment center after summoning a specialist.

After a detailed examination and diagnosis, Quinn was diagnosed with stage II lung cancer, and even if he received chemotherapy or radiotherapy, he only lived two or three years under the condition of paying attention to his living conditions and dietary rules. Fortunately, the cancer cells are concentrated in the lungs and do not spread, and even parasitic chloroplast proteins will not help if they do.

Dr. Carter formed Quinn's condition into the first parasitic chlorophyll treatment dossier and notified the thoracic surgeon to proceed immediately with surgery.

Chlorophyll was planted in Quinn's scalp, and the chest cavity was opened to remove all of the right lung, which had cancer cells. I have to say that the treatment plan of the Mayo Clinic is much better than that of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangcheng Medical University, and Quinn has completely recovered after a week of intensive care.

She will no longer feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, nor will she feel uncomfortable due to lack of oxygen, the only regret is that because of the removal of her right lung and the cessation of lung function, she will gradually be unable to speak.

But this is already a blessing in misfortune compared to death!

The sunlight outside the window of the intensive care unit shone on Quinn's green algae scalp, and the misty light was the hope of life, and she smiled kindly, and had a new hope for life.

Dr. Carter told her that after some recovery, she could walk and even work, and finally no longer be a burden on her family, and her son Nick could finally go outside to find his dreams without having to watch over her at home.

Dr. Carter stood in the doorway, filming the hopeful moment with his phone.

After much deliberation, Quinn did recover three days later, and she and her son thanked Dr. Carter for their kindness before leaving the Mayo Clinic and returning home to New York.

The photo taken by Dr. Carter and named it 'Sheng' was posted on the Mayo Clinic's website and Twitter.

For a time, the news of the complete recovery of the first stage II lung cancer patient in the United States spread far and wide, and the photos of 'Sheng' were also forwarded by the media.

CNN reported for the first time: the first parasitic chloroplast protein surgery was successfully carried out at the Mayo Clinic, and patients with advanced lung cancer fully recovered.

The Daily Mail made a higher evaluation: a new revolution in biomedicine! The discovery and successful use of parasitic chlorophyll is no less than the discovery of antibiotics! Mankind will usher in a new medical revolution!

The Sankei Shimbun, which had been very high-profile about parasitic chlorophyll news, suddenly remained silent and simply stopped reporting medical news, which was too loud in the face.

And Chinese netizens cheered, going out over the wall to leave a message under the Twitter of the Mayo Clinic, and the biotechnology of our republic also has times when you admire the West. Chaos creatures are really awesome! Give the Chinese a long face, the Chinese are generous, and Westerners are welcome to use this technology!

Public opinion was surprised! It turns out that the new biotechnology from China is real! In addition to visiting the Mayo Clinic in person, they also visited the Queens in Brooklyn, where the hospitable Quinn cooked a Chinese meal for everyone.

Quinn does not have a range hood at home, and the smoke environment is what lung cancer patients are most afraid of, and Quinn has no cough or even a little discomfort!

A table of Chinese food, Quinn said in front of all the reporters: "Maybe I can't talk anymore in the future, but today, I really want to thank the Mayo Clinic, thank you for the biological science and technology from far away China, it is parasitic chlorophyll that gives me a new life!" I love life now! ”

All the media believed it, and Quinn recovered!

Because there were so many reporters interviewed, Quinn politely declined most of the interviews on the grounds that he needed to work to support his family, but he still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the reporters, and they took out dollars to ask Quinn for an interview.

The price of an interview has changed from $10 per session to $100 an hour. Nick also started a Twitter for his mother, and Quinn didn't expect her to become an internet celebrity and get out of poverty and go straight to a well-off life.

Unable to sit still, the wealthy people who were seriously ill with their lungs and questioned the technology rushed to the Mayo Clinic to make an appointment when they learned that the production of parasitic chlorophyll was low, and they also wanted to live a healthy life free from lung cancer like Quinn.
