Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 74 - 65: Cola Dissolves Stones, Burning the Midnight Oil on the Proposal
Of course,
the stones that initially form are relatively loose and not as hard as they usually are in secret.
But over time, the stones become harder!
And as the stones harden, they become more difficult to remove and eventually can only be taken out through surgery.
"Stomach stones?!"
Upon hearing his words, the man and woman exclaimed.
"Does that mean surgery is necessary?"
The man looked a bit worried and quickly asked.
"As for your stomach stone, it’s not certain whether surgery is needed at the moment. Since it formed in a short time, if it can still be softened, you shouldn’t need surgery."
Qin Feng said while writing an order,
"Here’s what we’ll do: you go get an ultrasound so we can confirm, and even if surgery is needed, there’s no need to worry. Minimally invasive surgery is simple nowadays."
With that, he printed out the order and handed it to the man.
"Go ahead, let me know after it’s done, and we’ll find out shortly."
With that, the couple went to pay the fee and get the examination done.
...
About half an hour later, the couple returned with the examination results in hand.
Ultrasound result: a clear boundary strong echo mass image is visible inside, 0.9*1.1...
"It’s confirmed, stomach stone, but don’t worry, surgery isn’t needed in the current situation."
Qin Feng put down the examination report and looked at the somewhat tense man, saying,
"I’ll prescribe some medication for you. Follow the medical advice for use, and the stone should dissolve in about half a month to a month.
In addition, if you don’t mind, you can actually drink a little Coca-Cola every day."
"Coca-Cola?"
The couple was stunned upon hearing this and glanced at each other.
"Haha, yes, Coca-Cola can have a good softening and dissolving effect on early-stage stones in your stomach."
Qin Feng nodded with a smile,
"Of course, don’t drink too much, and don’t take it with the medication."
"Can Coke cure illness? Doctor, are you kidding us?"
The woman couldn’t help but speak, her face full of doubt and confusion.
"Coca-Cola contains phosphoric acid, which can combine with elemental phosphorus and also with the calcium in the body. It can break down some plant-based stones and some mixed-type stone polymer materials.
In other words, it can dissolve early-formed stones, breaking down the stomach stone."
Upon hearing Qin Feng’s explanation, the couple was half-convinced and left with the prescribed medication.
Watching the couple’s departing backs, Zhao Yitian couldn’t help but smile and shake his head helplessly.
"This couple, they’re unbelievable; they don’t know how to appreciate the best method given to them."
"Patients, you know, come in all types."
Qin Feng waved his hand indifferently.
After all, the medication was already prescribed; even without drinking Coke, taking the medicine alone could cure them.
But what he just said was truly a good method, not only painless but also quite pleasant.
Whether or not they’ll listen is up to them.
...
After chatting for a while, Qin Feng returned to the inpatient department.
He saw the blood department indicated on the floor directory board, thought for a moment, and then stopped.
Upon reaching the floor of the blood department, the nurse on duty brightened up as she saw Qin Feng.
"Dr. Qin, why are you here?"
"I want to ask, which room is Fang Wenwen in?"
Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"Fang Wenwen, I’ll take you over,"
The nurse said enthusiastically.
He followed the nurse to the door of a ward, which was still brightly lit inside.
Qin Feng knocked on the door and, upon receiving a response, entered.
The woman, seeing him come over, was immediately overjoyed and got up to greet him.
"Dr. Qin, you’re here, please have a seat!"
With that, she handed him a stool and stood aside.
Qin Feng took the stool and placed it aside, noticing the little girl on the bed looking at him, and smiled at her.
"Dr. Qin, I wonder why you came over so late... is there something with my husband?"
The woman seemed a little nervous and asked cautiously.
"Oh, no, no, your husband is relatively stable at the moment, just needs long-term rest."
Qin Feng quickly shook his head upon hearing this.
Hearing this, the woman slightly sighed in relief, showing a long-lost smile on her face.
Soon after, he chatted with the woman for a while and then looked towards the little girl.
He learned that with the ongoing financial support from the Qin Medical Foundation, the hospital’s financial pressure had basically disappeared, with only some additional infusion costs requiring minimal fees.
Moreover, the construction site provided some compensation, along with previously withheld wages, totaling one hundred thousand yuan, ensuring they could remain stable for quite some time.
Upon mentioning this, the woman seemed very happy; at least her husband survived.
Yet, her daughter Fang Wenwen’s situation remained a very tricky problem.
"How’s your daughter’s situation now? Can you tell me about it?"
Qin Feng guided the topic back on track, looking at the woman.
"Sigh~"
The woman, hearing his words, paused before sighing,
"Wenwen’s condition is currently stable, but we’re waiting for a marrow."
...
After a conversation,
Qin Feng received a pile of various examination reports the woman handed over, a thick stack of over a hundred pages!
Results from numerous hospitals showing acute leukemia.
There are two types of leukemia: one is acute, and the other is chronic.
Chronic leukemia is usually what’s referred to as chronic myeloid leukemia in the movie "Dying to Survive."
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a clonal disease originating from hematopoietic stem cells, and an attack can lead to symptoms such as an enlarged spleen and increased platelets.
At the same time, people suffering from chronic myeloid leukemia bleed more easily than normal people, and it’s difficult to stop the bleeding.
As the condition worsens, the body’s normal bone marrow function is destroyed, damaging various organ functions.
Ultimately, death!
However, chronic myeloid leukemia can currently be controlled with medication, significantly extending the patient’s life.
Acute leukemia, on the other hand, is even more terrifying!
It is a significant malignant tumor in hematology!
Acute leukemia is divided into acute myeloid leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Both are fatal!
Once diagnosed with acute leukemia, without timely and effective treatment, the average survival is about 3 months, with severe cases dying within days of diagnosis.
Patients usually need chemotherapy and radiation therapy, with long treatment times and high costs, and bone marrow transplantation is currently the only cure for leukemia.
So, Fang Wenwen is wearing a wig right now.
The black hair she originally had almost fell out entirely during the year of treatment...
Originally, Fang Wenwen was the only hope for her family. While in her senior year at Jiangcheng First High School, she consistently ranked among the top, being in the top ten of her class.
In a mock test organized by the class, she scored 462 points, taking the first place in the whole grade.
With her score, entering a double-first class university in Beijing would have been no problem!
Unfortunately, two months before the college entrance exam, disaster struck.
"Doctor, can I still be cured?"
On the bed, Fang Wenwen looked at Qin Feng, her voice a bit tired and weak.
Qin Feng looked at her pale little face, painfully thin, and with brows furrowed with pain.
Acute leukemia is like this; tumor cells and leukemia cells in the bone marrow cause symptoms such as lymph node enlargement, splenomegaly, joint and bone pain.
Especially after radiation therapy, the pain becomes more pronounced!
"Wenwen, as long as you hold on, you can be cured."
Qin Feng showed a sunny smile, comforting her.
"Brother, you’re really handsome, much better looking than our school’s top guy before."
Fang Wenwen’s lips curled into a faint smile, unable to resist the compliment.
He rubbed his nose at her words, and the two exchanged smiles.
"Wenwen, if I told you that you could survive, go to college, and find love, would you believe it?"
Qin Feng took a deep breath and asked softly.
Hearing his words, Fang Wenwen seemed a bit bewildered, or perhaps forgetful.
A moment later, she didn’t speak, just stared blankly, her eyes glistening.
For a long while,
"I don’t know... I have a group of fellow patients, and over the past year, they’ve disappeared one by one, stopped talking, and their profile pictures no longer light up."
Fang Wenwen closed her eyes, tears sliding down the corners,
"I’m scared, I’m scared that one day my profile picture will also turn black and white, never to light up again~"
Hearing this, Qin Feng felt as if his heart was squeezed.
To him, Fang Wenwen was just a microcosm.
There were more than just one leukemia patient here, many of whom couldn’t wait for a suitable bone marrow, ultimately dying in pain.
Currently, there are over four million leukemia patients nationwide!
And the number is increasing by nearly 100,000 each year, over half of whom are children and teenagers.
Besides some genetic issues, the main cause is the external physical environment.
Severe pollution and harmful chemicals in the air, food, and items people touch are the biggest factors behind early-age leukemia.
As people change society, they are also harming themselves and their descendants.
It’s pitiable and sad...
"Wenwen, do you trust brother doctor?"
Qin Feng reached out to wipe away her tears, asking,
"As long as you hold on, we’ll find a way to cure you!"
"Really?"
Hearing this, Fang Wenwen turned her head to look at him.
"We will, we definitely will."
He nodded, then took the pen from his chest and handed it to her,
"This is the doctor’s word, you have to obediently listen to the doctor, understand?"
"Mhm."
Looking at the delicate pen in her hand, Fang Wenwen nodded forcefully, seemingly a different gleam in her eyes.
She didn’t know, the pen she held was also quite valuable, priced over 20,000!
...
In the internal medicine office,
Qin Feng returned to his desk and opened the information about the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation center.
He had already acquired this technology through logging in half a month ago, but hadn’t had the time to work on it.
The determination in Fang Wenwen’s eyes convinced him of a long-considered idea.
To build the first hematopoietic stem cell transplantation center in Jiangcheng City!
Starting with the First People’s Hospital!
Immediately,
Qin Feng opened a document, determinedly typing a prominent title.
"Project Plan for Building a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Center at Jiangcheng City First People’s Hospital"
Clack clack clack~
Clack clack clack~
In the deep night,
A handsome man in a white coat was furiously rushing reports under the cover of night...
(Sorry for the delay, writer’s block! The update is too late!! I completed three Chapters and over ten thousand words!!!)
