As one of the nation's leading gastroenterology hospitals, Siedsinai Medical Center sees thousands of patients each year.

Similar to Mayo, those who can come to this kind of top hospital are either rich or expensive, and ordinary Chinese people have no chance, unless you are willing to give you the green light in this special hospital, and the insurance company will not embarrass you.

Otherwise, going bankrupt and returning to poverty due to illness is not unique to a certain country.

Professor Bradrick now has such a rich patient on his hands, and it is very troublesome.

Los Angeles is the home of Hollywood, and it has to be the world's top film and television companies, among which the Big Six are famous.

Rupert, the owner of Fox Entertainment, is one of Hollywood's biggest names, the man at the top of the food chain in the so-called film and television industry.

Fox has produced the famous "Titanic", "Avatar" and other movies (later), with a market value of billions of dollars, an absolute behemoth.

But the entertainment company is only one of Rupert's properties, he also owns cable television networks, television stations, newspapers and magazines, and his family is one of the six largest conglomerates in the United States.

But now the boss, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, is now lying in a hospital bed and dying, scrawny, and his exposed head looks like a skull.

The white fat lotion was slowly dripping into the old man's skeleton, keeping him alive.

The ward's state-of-the-art instruments have been monitoring the Hollywood tycoon's vital signs, with occasional sirens.

"Mr. Rupert, this is new and the test report shows that the FVIII. activity in your plasma is still 1%, and this condition is not suitable for surgery at all."

Professor Bradrick stood at the head of the bed, patiently explaining.

The old man on the hospital bed became extremely irritable when he heard the news:

"Fack, after spending so much money, why can't my clotting factor go up? When exactly will I be able to have surgery? You think I don't know? If I don't have surgery, I'm afraid I won't live to next Christmas, is that what some people want to see? ”

Because it's already Christmas, the hospital is full of Jinglebells, jinglebells, Jinglealltheway singing, even in the ward.

Seriously ill patients tend to be extremely suspicious and suspicious, especially for such top rich people, there is always an illusion that Diao people want to murder me.

"No, no, Mr. Rupert, you also know that you were born with hemophilia, have you forgotten that last time you dialed a tooth decay and the bleeding never stopped, and finally had to be sent to the intensive care unit?"

Hemophilia is a type of disease that causes bleeding or hemostasis due to the lack of a certain clotting factor, resulting in coagulation dysfunction.

Most of them are caused by genetics, but some are acquired, such as drugs.

Coagulation factors are a group of important proteins in the human body, and when blood vessels rupture, they work together with platelets to promote blood clotting and repair holes in blood vessels, thereby achieving hemostasis.

In patients with hemophilia, due to the lack of corresponding clotting factors in the body, it is difficult for the bleeding to stop in a short period of time after the blood vessel ruptures, so even a small trauma can cause heavy bleeding.

Spontaneous bleeding can occur even in the absence of trauma, causing life-threatening conditions.

And the most deplorable thing is that this disease is transmitted to men but not to women.

Because the sex chromosomes are XY for males and XX for females. The disease-causing gene of hemophilia is present in X, and women must have problems with both X chromosomes to develop the disease, but men have only one X chromosome, and once they are inherited, they will develop the disease 100%.

One of the most famous patients of hemophilia was Queen Victoria of Great Britain in the 19th century.

The old lady gave birth to a large number of children, and then the children married into major European royal families, and as a result, the vast majority of the offspring born were born with "hemophilia".

These nobles usually don't dare to bump into each other, so they are also called the "Prince of Glass".

So hemophilia has another nickname, called "noble disease".

In the eighties, before the invention of genetically recombinant FVIII agents or virus-inactivated bloodborne FVIII agents, hemophilia was an inexplicable disease.

Unfortunately, the Hollywood tycoon on the hospital bed has this kind of hemophilia that bleeds profusely at every turn, and it is still advanced and severe.

What's even more unfortunate is that this big guy just has "achalasia" again.

With the aggravation of the disease, the cardia has been completely closed, Rupert can't eat normally at all, and people will starve to death if they can't eat, which is fundamental common sense, and can only rely on nutritional injections to maintain life.

For hospitals in the United States, achalasia is not a terminal illness and can still be treated by surgery.

Although the efficacy of surgery is uncertain and there are a lot of side effects, people are dying now, and they can't care so much.

It's a pity that this Hollywood bigwig has no way to perform surgery because of severe hemophilia.

Because the stomach is in the chest cavity, if you want to have stomach surgery, you must first cut the skin, then cut the ribs, open the sternum, and then continue to cut the stomach.

The biggest problem is that the bleeding does not stop, and the small wound is good to say, this kind of invasive major surgery has only one outcome, and he must die on the operating table.

If Rupert had been poor, a powerless man, a doctor might have dared to try surgery from the point of view of medical experiments, provided that he had all the blood products ready.

Anyway, the poor are dead, and if they die, they will die.

But if he survives, it will be a great improvement to the doctor's personal reputation.

But the scrawny old man in front of him is the boss of a top Hollywood film and television company, and he is full of energy, so he is not so easy to mess with.

Therefore, for the attending doctor, it is better to take the most conservative treatment, and never dare to take any little risk, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.

When a rich man dies, he dies, and it's not their doctor who dies anyway.

People are free in the United States, but they shoot every day, and doctors don't want to be shot on the road sometime.

Don't doubt the bottom line of the rich, for the rich and powerful, the bottom line is used to break.

Professor Bradéric was squirted by the old man in the hospital bed, and did not dare to show his displeasure at all, but could only continue to explain patiently.

What else can you do without explanation? There are too many big dogs to give, so much that they can sell their self-esteem.

"Mr. Rupert, don't worry, now I have contacted a number of hematologists and gastroenterologists, and even I have contacted Mr. Grace, the president of the International Society of Gastroenterology, and asked him to help contact the most authoritative gastroenterologists in the world, and everyone will think of a way together."

The big guy was already desperate lying on the hospital bed.

All I thought about was when I was healthy, the fancy world of Xiangche beauties, and the red sofa in his office, almost all Hollywood beauties had "auditioned" on it.

What a beautiful life it was, but when I was old, I got such a strange disease.

Yes, for Rupert it was a strange disease.

You said that he had stomach cancer directly, but he also gave up, but it was because of a problem with the muscles in his stomach.

Just such a "small problem" actually made his life worse than death, which made the big guy very unwilling, because this is obviously a curable disease.

As a result, because of his ancestral hemophilia, he could not be operated, and he suffered both physical and mental pain every day, which was simply miserable.

To describe it in a sentence of Zhao Benshan: The money is still there, and the people are gone, which is really blind.

"Bradric, even if you help me contact the most famous doctor in the world, you can even say that as long as anyone can cure my illness, I will not be stingy, and promise them an unexpected fortune."

"I'll be sure to help you convey that."

The rich people all over the world are virtuous, and they like to smash people with money at every turn.

If Chen Qi was at the scene, he would definitely shout: Old man, don't be soft-hearted, take the money and smash me to death.

Coming out of the ward, Professor Bradrick let out a long breath, in fact, he was also worried.

If the top doctors in the United States want to have rich people sponsor his subject and earn private wealth, they all need to be supported by various bigwigs or financial fathers.

This requires doctors to have superb medical skills and clinical standards, and to be able to treat diseases that others cannot treat, so that they can be called famous doctors and attract wealthy people all over the country and even the world to exclude themselves from seeking medical treatment.

Rupert is an internationally famous top rich man, how many people look at it.

If he hadn't cured Rupert's illness, it would have done a great deal of damage to his personal reputation, and the rich wouldn't necessarily choose him as the attending doctor next time.

Now he hopes that his international counterparts can help solve such a troublesome case, and don't smash the pot in his own hands.

As soon as Professor Bradrick returned to his office, there was a large pile of letters on the desk, which his assistant had just brought for him.

Bradrick sipped his coffee as he looked at the letters one by one to see if there was a sender he was interested in.

Suddenly, a letter from Hua Guo caught his attention.

"Hey, what is this, such a big piece."

Because it was a letter, it was more like a package, wrapped in thick brown paper, and there was clearly something inside.

Professor Bradrick put on his eyes and took a closer look, and found that it was Wei Zhongzhang from Huaguo, a foreign scholar he had taken with him a few years ago, and he was deeply impressed by his ability to endure hardships while studying.

Professor Bradrick liked this student very much, but unfortunately this student finally decided to go back to serve his country, and he was a very pure person.

The two kept in constant contact by letter, and Professor Bradrick was willing to communicate with him about recent international medical developments, sometimes sending materials and journals to the student.

With a question mark on his head, Professor Bradrick took a paper cutter and opened the brown paper wrap, revealing that it contained two video tapes and a letter.

Professor Bradrick opened the letter and read it, his eyes widened the more he looked at it, and he kept muttering:

"OhmyGod, ohmygod, how is this possible?"

Suddenly, Professor Bradrick jerked his head and saw a TV and VCR in the corner of his office, and he quickly got up and ran over in excitement, knocking over his chair because he was so excited.

The loud noise in the professor's office immediately attracted the attention of the people in the large office outside.

Several assistants and little doctors hurriedly pushed open the door and came in: "Mr. Professor, what happened?" ”

Professor Bradrick shoved the tape into the camera with a trembling hand,

"You guys are here, come in, I have two video tapes here, which are using endoscopic surgery to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and achalasia, let's see together, is this true or false?"

“what?”

The doctors who broke in were also stunned, thinking that this was the same as a fantasy talk, this kind of endoscopic surgery could not even be done by a top hospital like them in the United States, and a Chinese doctor could do it?

Huaguo, is there any endoscopic equipment?

But now that the tapes have been sent and the facts are in front of them, the doctor is still relatively qualified, at least not immediately spitting fragrant fragrance.

So a large group of doctors gathered in front of the television.

Then when watching the video, the expression on everyone's face is the same, that is, they all open their mouths wide, their eyes wide, and they look like they have seen a ghost.

“ohmygod，ohmygod！！！”

"Wow, you can do this?"

"Oh my God, how did the surgeon come up with the idea of making a tunnel in the wall of the esophagus to lead to the cardia area?"

"You see, this fundoplication is different from traditional surgery, it's a genius invention."

After the two recordings are played, these doctors in the United States are all you look at me, I look at you, and they all see surprise and joy in each other's eyes.

Why is there joy? Because if these two tapes are real, then there are undoubtedly two more new techniques in the world, which can solve the pain of countless people.

"Put it again, I want to watch it again."

Professor Bradrick is particularly interested in this endoscopic surgery for achalasia, because endoscopic surgery is characterized by less trauma, less bleeding and faster recovery.

Then it is definitely a major disadvantage for the Hollywood bigwigs on the hospital bed, which is described in Chinese dialect as sleepy and someone sends a pillow.

But as a top doctor, Professor Bradrick still has his own concerns:

"Hi, ladies and gentlemen, do you think the endoscopic surgery on this Huaguo tape is credible? I'm sorry I wasn't racist, but I was surprised by these two surgeries. ”

Daniel, who is also a senior gastrointestinal surgeon, and as Professor Bradrick's assistant, he still has a certain say:

"Mr. Professor, the skills of this video shooting are very poor, you see that the tools that appear in this operation are all models that we have eliminated, I think this is in line with the backward conditions of Huaguo, but I don't think the process of the operation should be fake, there are no obvious shear marks."

At this time, another assistant, Francis, shouted:

"Maybe we can go to Huaguo and see for ourselves?"

"It's a great idea."

"I agree, I'll go too!"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the office, and everyone's main mind was to have a kind of joy in the new technology, and they couldn't wait to see it, and there was also a small part of their minds, I am afraid that they wanted to take the opportunity to travel around China with public funds.

Professor Bradrick was not a hesitant man, as if he had made up his mind:

"Okay, let's go to Huaguo to have a look, if this video is true, it may help me a lot."
