Chapter 1523: Muscle Atrophy
"Kid, you haven't told me your name yet. ”
"Stone. ”
"I thought you would have an English name. ”
"Naming is my weakness, and I usually only use my weakness on others, and definitely not on myself. ”
The old man couldn't help but roll his eyes, but the child was really funny.
Bai Chen always looked at the scenery outside the window, the capital can be said to be the most complete modern city, so many ancestors have inherited the culture and architecture, and now they have been replaced by high-rise buildings, but between these buildings, it has always been shrouded in a layer of clouds.
This is the price of development, development without consequences.
"Stone, what's nice out there. ”
"yes, nothing to look at. Bai Chen closed the window and shook his head regretfully.
"Do you want to talk about the air quality in the capital again?"
"The biggest sorrow of the capital's air quality is that there is no need to say it, the best weather is a rainy day, what else is there to say?" Bai Chen shook his head, in fact, the capital is just a microcosm, because it is the capital, so it is infinitely magnified, and other places are much better than the capital.
"It's going to be fine, and now ZF is already actively governing. The old man sighed, and his tone was quite helpless.
"It's a good deal to earn one dollar and spend ten dollars to bear the consequences. ”
The old man's face was very bad, but what could he do, there was nothing in the mainland back then, so he could only sacrifice resources and environment to catch up with the capital market, and now he is gradually catching up, but he has begun to pay off his debts for his past.
Whether this business is good or bad. No one can say.
The old man's arm began to tremble. Because the back seat of this sedan has two rows of opposite seats. A bodyguard sitting opposite, seeing the old man's state, immediately took out a bottle from his bag and handed it to the old man.
Bai Chen found that the old man's arm in front of him was shaking unusually, and he only saw suspicion after a closer look.
The old man in front of him was thinner than normal old people of the same age, and Bai Chen initially thought that he was just suffering from ordinary old people's diseases, some unstable blood pressure or loss of appetite. But when I first saw it, the old man was in good spirits.
But now it seems that there is another cause, Bai Chen snatched the porcelain bottle: "Whatever you eat, I will also eat." ”
"Little friend, this is my medicine, you can't take it. The old man smiled wryly.
The bodyguard sitting opposite also immediately came up to help the old man snatch back the bottle: "Little guy, get the medicine back." ”
"Fennel, half unicorn, horse thread, ginseng, bezoar, wolf venom, ......" Bai Chen frowned: "This medicine is not good, it will be fatal." ”
The old man took back the medicine bottle and smiled bitterly. Take a pill out of it.
"Little friend, you just smell it. Can you smell what's inside?"
"My family runs a hospital. Bai Chenyou glanced at the medicine bottle in the old man's hand, no wonder he didn't see the old man's condition when he looked at the old man, it turned out that this medicine disturbed his judgment.
This medicine is very similar to stimulants, that is, it helps people to lift their spirits, and if you take too much, it will cause severe insomnia, and your work and rest will be very disordered.
However, this medicine is very toxic, such as the wolf venom and semi-unicorn, which are toxic, and belong to a kind of heat poison, and then use horse thread and bezoar to neutralize the toxicity, and then use ginseng to make up for the losses caused by the two.
"I know this medicine is not good, but if I don't take this medicine, I guess I will be lying at home in a few days. ”
Of course, the old man knew that this medicine was not good, and the person who dispensed it also said that it was not good, but the old man still insisted on asking the man to dispense it, because only this medicine could make him survive the events of the last year.
The old man did not intend to continue the topic, but changed the subject and said, "Are you going to inherit the family business?"
"No, my family's business is left to my two younger brothers and sisters, and I have my own business. ”
"Then why are you still studying medicine?"
"Is there any connection between studying medicine and inheriting the family business? I don't plan to let my younger brother and sister study medicine in the future, but they still want to inherit the family business. ”
"Haha...... You kid, you always talk like this, I can't talk about you. The old man laughed heartily.
"Do you want me to help you see a doctor?"
"Do you study Chinese medicine?" the old man looked at Bai Chen curiously, thinking to himself, with the age of this child, it is estimated that he will only recognize a few medicines.
"Neither Chinese nor Western, my medical skills are a collection of hundreds of schools of thought, and I am in a class of my own. Bai Chen said confidently.
"Isn't that famous?"
"Because I charge too much, I don't have many patients at the moment, but as long as I handle them, there is definitely nothing that can't be better. ”
"Oh, and if it's my illness, how much are you going to charge?"
"The next time I come to the capital, I want to return to the blue sky on this day. ”
"Huh...... It's not easy. ”
"Yes, ALS is not so easy to cure. ”
"How did you know about my illness?"
"Loose skin, muscle weakness, poor breathing, obvious drooping weakness in the corner of the right eye, as well as the symptoms of your hand shaking, and when you speak, occasionally have a vibrato due to the weakness of your throat, these are the symptoms of ALS. ”
ALS, also known as muscle atrophy, has some special drugs in the world, but the effect is not very obvious.
Twenty percent of ALS is due to genetics, and most of it is an acquired cause, so most of the people who get ALS are young children or the elderly.
The disease is mild and difficult to detect at first, but once confirmed, it can be very difficult to treat.
The muscle atrophy of various organs leads to failure and weakness, and the digestive system and respiratory system will gradually be lost, and in the late stage, it is likely that even the movement of a finger will become a luxury, and finally have to rely on machines to maintain life.
"Do you think my illness can be saved?" asked the old man with a wry smile.
"If you agree to my request, I'll help you see a doctor. ”
"I can't give you a packing ticket. ”
In fact, this disease is the simplest disease for Bai Chen.
Normal human cells are constantly changing, dividing and growing, and the cause of ALS is that nerve cells are damaged, resulting in cells that cannot continue to develop, grow and divide as ordinary people, and the life cycle of cells is very short, if the speed of cell death cannot keep up with the speed of growth and division, then it is the initial stage of ALS.
And Bai Chen only needs to activate nerve cells, and the cause of ALS is nerve cell damage, theoretically every cell can repair and divide itself, and nerve cells are no exception, so this disease is really not difficult for Bai Chen.
"Since you can't give me a packing ticket, then I won't treat you. Bai Chen also said with a look of pity: "But I can still show you a way out, SH's Guangming Hospital can cure your illness and cure it completely." ”
"Huh...... I have already consulted the experts at Guangming Hospital, and the answers they gave were not satisfactory. "Of course, the old man thought about that hospital that had created miracles, but unfortunately Guangming Hospital's specialty was not ALS.
"The words of the experts cannot be believed, and the experts used to say that within 30 years, there will be no medicine to restrain cancer. ”
"Oh, you trust Guangming Hospital. ”
"Of course, because that's what my grandfather did. ”
"Your grandfather, are you Dean Lu's grandson?"
"Count it half, I'm adopted. ”
Hearing Bai Chen's words, the old man was relieved, no wonder this child would recommend himself to Guangming Hospital, it turned out to be to pull business for his own family.
"Little one, how can you be sure that your hospital can cure the general ...... Master?" the bodyguard on the other side couldn't help but ask.
"That's my family's hospital, of course it can be cured, and if Guangming Hospital cures a big official, it will definitely be more famous. ”
Everyone in the carriage was speechless for a while, and only this kid could speak so openly and blatantly.
"Then what if it can't be cured?" the old man looked at Bai Chen playfully.
"If it can't be cured, I'll treat it myself. ”
"Then you're going to be cured?" the bodyguard asked teasingly.
"Of course. ”
"Then why don't you cure the master now?"
"Because you can't afford it. ”
"Do you want me to take care of the air in the capital?" asked the old man.
"yes. ”
"Then I promised you now, you cured me, and I didn't fulfill my promise?"
"You are such a big person, you will definitely not cheat, if you don't control the air in the capital, I won't come to the capital in the future. ”
The old man smiled wryly, it had been a long time since he had seriously communicated with a child like this.
"For the sake of this promise, I will find a way, whether you can cure me or not. ”
"I have one more request. ”
"You've asked for a lot, what else do you want?"
"Be a good officer and don't let me down. ”
"I can guarantee that. ”、
"Take it in your hand. Bai Chen said seriously.
The old man put his hand in front of Bai Chen, and Bai Chen pulled his arm, which was an extremely thin arm.
The symptoms of muscle atrophy are already very obvious, the metabolism of cells has made this arm lose its vitality, this is still a superficial phenomenon, and the real horror of muscle atrophy is invisible.
Slowly devouring the vitality of people, the power of people faded little by little, and finally even the strength to breathe became a luxury.
The old man was very patient, but the bodyguard on the other side was not so patient, seeing Bai Chen grabbing the old man's wrist motionless, he couldn't help but urge: "You should hurry up." ”
"Don't you see that I'm being treated, this is qigong, do you know qigong?"
The bodyguard couldn't help but roll his eyes, qigong?
He is a master in this area, and this kid said in front of him that he was performing qigong, which is simply nonsense.
This kid has some ability, can't he see it? (To be continued......)
