Chapter 489: Down Syndrome
Luckily.
Early the next morning, the Second Hospital of Lanzhou University confirmed that the patient only had a fever and was not infected, and the lockdown was lifted.
It was noon when Qian Cai and Hu Wei got the news, and when they came to the ward and saw Hu Buyun for the first time, Qian Cai was also a little hard to believe that the short and fat young man lying on the bed was actually from the same ancestral gene as Hu Wei.
In the four-bed ward, Hu Buyun is by the window.
Hu Wei looked at Hu Buyun, who seemed to be sleeping with an oxygen mask, and quickly covered his mouth and wet his eyes.
Qian Cai called the doctor, explained the relationship between Hu Wei and Hu Buyun, and asked about the situation.
The doctor knew who the young man's father was, and he was also in awe of Hu Renzhong's persistence for many years, so he explained carefully.
"Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, the patient has one more chromosome than ordinary people, and the abnormal chromosome is on the human chromosome 21, although there is only one more, but the human body is like a sophisticated instrument, a little change, there will be many changes.
The most obvious change is in appearance, generally similar, the head is small and round, the mouth is often half-open, sometimes the tongue will stick out, the facial contour is flattened, the eyes are almond-shaped, the neck is thicker, the eye distance is wider, the ears are small, the fingers are short, and the congenital stupidity is also common in intellectual development, with an average IQ of 30-50.
Down's children look similar in the eyes of many people, because of the cross-racial effect, many of their characteristics are a little different from normal people, the human brain is more like to find patterns, unfamiliar things are grouped and classified, so Down's heterogeneous characteristics are often used as a label, ignoring their specificity. ”
Hu Buyun on the bed was very hot and didn't cover the quilt, Qian Cai listened and watched, Hu Buyun's appearance was indeed the same as the doctor's description.
"In Hu Buyun's case, how long can he live if the medical conditions are good?"
Qian Cai's words made the doctor a little hesitant.
"Don't worry, doctor, I want to improve his medical conditions, he is my wife's cousin, I won't harm him." Qian Cai smiled again and reaffirmed the relationship.
The doctor began to frown, probably because no one had discussed Hu Buyun's condition with him for a long time, and he was carefully recalling.
"Buyun's situation is special in the special... In fact, it is not special, but many Down's children did not live to his age, so many cases died before they appeared, he had congenital diaphragmatic hernia and heart disease, and there was also intracranial hemorrhage, and he needed to use a lot of drugs every day, and many of them were imported drugs.
To be honest, if it weren't for the support of his father's unit and Commander Hu's insistence, with this child's situation, it would have been gone a long time ago, which is his misfortune and his luck.
He may have recently had heart failure, some exertional dyspnea, and can only pay attention to the blood oxygen saturation and the condition of the heart, but a radical cure is unlikely, in this regard, we are the hospital for this condition, the equipment is relatively complete, I do not recommend transfer.
As for the radical cure, I think it is unlikely, the radical cure of Down's child is basically to inactivate or eliminate the abnormal chromosome 21 in every cell, which is called cure.
There are some sayings in the latest SCI abroad, that is, to make some positive effects by regulating the development of the nervous system in the process of children's growth, but Hu Buyun's situation is no longer adaptable, and the treatment is basically impossible. ”
Qian Cai nodded and looked at Hu Wei, who was already sitting on the bench next to him, staring at his cousin in a daze.
"Then you can take us to the payment office, and I'll charge him some money to see if he can be transferred to a separate ward."
The doctor was a little embarrassed: "Actually, no, as long as the ward is not tight, we try not to arrange other patients to this ward, and the cost of a single ward is very high..."
Qian just waved his hand and interrupted.
"It's not a problem, if there is a problem, the most aggressive treatment plan is adopted, we are his family, and money is the most insignificant."
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Hu Wei: "You wait for me here, I'll be back soon." ”
Hu Wei seemed to have something hurting, looked at Hu Buyun blankly, and nodded lightly.
……
After 15 minutes, the doctor finally understood why the young man had asked him to come along.
Who charges a million for hospitalization at a time?
"You... You don't have to charge, you and Commander Hu... Ay. The doctor changed his tone several times in a row, and finally he stopped.
He had seen the solemn look on Hu Renzhong's face when he told him that his medical expenses were not enough.
Nowadays, someone is willing to pay for this high medical bill, and for whatever reason, he should not refuse it for others.
"Doctor, remember my phone number, if you have any questions, just call me."
The doctor finally waved his hand again and again this time: "Commander Hu's family has a high reimbursement rate, and this expense is definitely enough." ”
Qian thought about it, so he had to take out two ordinary paper business cards that were a little wrinkled from his trouser pocket, took out one and handed it to him: "Take it, notify me if there is any danger, we should also come over and have a look." ”
The doctor was also a little curious, took it, and looked at it.
Memories, surprises, solemnity, shortness of breath.
Emotional transformation and deepening takes about three seconds.
"You are... Is it Chairman Qian? ”
Qian Cai nodded, walked into the open elevator, and smiled.
"You know me?"
The doctor's eyes immediately widened: "You are the first..."
Speaking of this, the people who looked around stopped again.
But he didn't need to say it, a girl's scream was already heard.
"Money! You're a money talent!! ”
Qian Cai and Hu Wei came wearing masks, Rao is so, and they are still recognized at such a close distance.
The nine people in the elevator immediately took Qian Cai as the center, exploded a hollow area, and stared at him with Qi Shushu.
Qian Cai was slightly embarrassed and pinched his mask tightly.
"Hey, little sister, I recognized the wrong person, it's more like, it's more like, someone always admits it."
"You sound like that, too!"
"Well, it's like that."
"The body is like!"
"You've seen it?"
"I've seen it on TV!"
Qian Cai: ......
"It's all beautified on TV! I've seen him, much shorter than me! ”
"Can I take a look at your mask when you take it off?"
When I was a little overwhelmed, the elevator finally opened, and Qian hurriedly walked out, and the doctor hurriedly followed.
Simply, I didn't keep up.
When the doctor came out, he finally found a detail, two sturdy men in white shirts and black trousers stood at the entrance of the corridor, and nodded with Qian.
The richest man.
The doctor was amazed again in his heart, he really didn't expect that Hu Renzhong, who was not wealthy, would have such a relative.
After thinking about it in his heart, he gritted his teeth, chased after him, and said.
"Mr. Qian... I think there are better treatment options! ”
Qian stopped, frowned, and turned his head.
"Why didn't you just say that?"
The doctor sighed: "Hu Buyun's heart mitral valve is congenitally underdeveloped, which has led to a lot of heart problems, and now the heart is also the biggest obstacle affecting his survival.
I didn't know that your family had dependents in Shanghai, and financially... I didn't think about it regardless of the cost, but if I could go to Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University for surgery and medication, I might be able to prolong his life to the greatest extent! It's possible to live a few more years! ”
Qian Cai's brows loosened a little, he put his hands behind his back, and muttered sideways: "Doctor, the words of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine... Wouldn't it be better? ”
The doctor probably understood that this is the light of Jiaotong University, and he must be familiar with Jiaotong University.
Some hesitation: "Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan is stronger in cardiology and cardiovascular... However, Ruijin Hospital... The comprehensive ability is also very strong. ”
"I understand, then Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan." Qian Cai waved his hand.
The doctor was dumbfounded.
"By the way, doctor, I have one more thing to ask you......
……
Afternoon.
Provincial Military District Building.
It must have been built a little early, and there are many trees around, which is a stark contrast to the bare streets outside.
But that's the only comparison.
The building is very old, a large piece of the wall has fallen off, Hu Renzhong is standing on the edge of the building waiting for him and Hu Wei, his figure is so burly that he seems to be able to support the whole building.
"Here we are."
Qian Cai approached with Hu Wei in one hand and a bunch of "dry goods" such as cigarettes, wine and tea in the other, and Hu Renzhong said hello first.
It looks a little serious.
"Uncle." Hu Wei shouted vividly.
Hu Renzhong finally showed a smile on his face, and then said with some blame: "Come on, why do you pay so much money?" Let's go, follow me to the hospital and leave. ”
Qian Cai smiled and said, "I have to retreat, but I'm not in a hurry, let's go up and sit down first?" Can't you come so far and don't even give you a drink, uncle? ”
"Dr. Zhang has already told me that you are not allowed to go! What is the Fudan Affiliated Hospital, Buyun's situation I don't know? What hospital to transfer to? Waste of money! Hu Renzhong's eyes were wide open, but he walked in front and led them upstairs.
Qian Cai didn't listen, shook his head and said a word.
"You have to listen to you to protect your family and defend the country, you have to listen to the doctor to treat diseases and save people, uncle, respect science, the conditions of your hospital are really poor, don't delay Cousin Buyun."
Hu Renzhong's footsteps stopped for a moment, turned his head and glanced at him again, his steps were heavy and he climbed up the stairs slowly like a mountain picker, and said leisurely.
"Wei Wei married you, our family is relieved, treat her well...... But Buyun's cousin's business, then you shouldn't take care of it, don't burden yourself, money, I know you are not short of money, but Buyun is here..."
As he spoke, he pointed to his head.
"When he arrived in Shanghai, he changed the environment, he would make trouble, someone had to coax him, it was very troublesome, you are all young people, you can't greet him, after so many years, his relatives have been ill for a long time, his family has become a doctor, no one knows the situation better than me, this is a big trouble, it will delay your work... I can't leave either, so I might as well keep him here. ”
Qian Cai didn't talk anymore, just looked at Hu Wei, and joked with a smile: "Uncle, you can give you all the houses in the province... Cousin, right? After so many years of separation, you haven't thought about finding another suitable one? I heard Dr. Zhang say that there is often a young aunt who follows you to see Cousin Buyun! ”
Qian Cai was not called an aunt, but a cousin.
"I'm not divorced!"
Hu Renzhong's back went up and down, a little puffed up.
Open the door and enter the house.
The old-fashioned floor tiles with diamond patterns were fashionable twenty years ago.
Everything else, without exception, is old.
Qian Cai looked at the middle-aged rough man who touched his head and entered the room, and the long-term large-brimmed military hat that was close to the stitch of the table in the middle of the table, and suddenly felt a little admired.
This is a man who has really lived a life of hardship and nostalgia.
