Evolution from scratch with added points

After listening to the translator's description, Chen Jue looked at his father who was sleeping on the bed, and his brows began to frown.

His mood at the moment was both relieved and worried, just like riding a roller coaster.

He was relieved because his old father, who had lost contact for more than ten years, was finally rescued, and the feeling of seeing his loved ones was extremely happy.

It was like a big stone pressing on his heart was finally removed.

After all, in Chen Jue's impression, his father Chen Hongmin supported his originally broken family. He made him, a young boy in a rural area, see the few hopes of life in the fragmented growth process.

But his father's injuries at this time were not what Chen Jue wanted to see. He would rather experience these hardships himself than see his relatives end up like this.

The feeling of worrying as a child is difficult to describe to outsiders.

The so-called tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support but the parents are not waiting, which probably describes Chen Jue's current situation.

…

After accompanying him in the hospital for half a day, the comatose Chen Hongmin finally woke up in the IUC.

After seeing Chen Jue's familiar face, Chen Hongmin's hoarse voice came out of his throat: "Xiao Jue..."

The feeling of missing his son for more than ten years and feeling guilty about him surged up, and Chen Hongmin burst into tears.

"Dad, I'm here to pick you up."

"Leave the future to me!"

"You've worked hard these years."

Chen Jue held his old father's hand and slowly recounted his experiences and changes in the family over the past ten years.

When he learned that his son had a girlfriend, a female teacher in Hangzhou, and even the date for getting a marriage certificate had been determined, Chen Hongmin's old face finally had a few smiles.

However, when he thought of his serious illness and the need to spend a lot of money on treatment, he began to feel uneasy and thought to himself: "It would be better if he was not rescued, so as not to drag down his son."

"Xiao Jue is over 30 years old and still hasn't married. I am such a failure as a father."

Most elderly parents have this mentality, that is, even if they cannot create good material conditions for their children, they are unwilling to drag down their children financially.

What Chen Hongmin didn't expect was that Chen Jue's next move was beyond his imagination.

Because he didn't trust the local medical level, Chen Jue first spent a lot of money to hire a private medical team in the local area and transferred Chen Hongmin from an ordinary public hospital to the best private hospital in Pizza for treatment.

For the terminal disease of ALS, the local private hospitals in Pizza did not have a particularly good way to deal with it, and could only treat other symptoms first.

After spending a week to take care of Chen Hongmin's physical condition until he was out of danger, Chen Jue directly purchased a large number of medical equipment and installed it on his private plane, and invited the medical team to accompany him on the plane.

When Chen Hongmin learned that his son was already a billionaire, and that he was very rich, enough to buy two private planes to take turns, he began to show all kinds of insecurity in his eyes.

Because he knew his family's situation best.

When Chen Hongmin left Vancouver to work in Europe to pay off his debts, his family owed hundreds of thousands of debts of favor, and Chen Jue had just entered high school.

I was thankful that my son could finish his studies smoothly. I never thought that my son would be so promising. He created such a big family business from scratch without any help from his family.

The hardships involved are moving.

So much so that Chen Hongmin felt more and more indebted to his son, and he repeatedly said that his son was incurable.

It was not until he boarded Chen Jue's Gulfstream G550 and saw those foreign doctors and translators surrounding him, with such a good service attitude that they treated him like their own father.

Seeing this scene, Chen Hongmin finally accepted the fact that Chen Jue had become rich.

…

Flying all the way from Pizza Country to the imperial capital with his old father, after landing, Chen Jue contacted Dr. Xie Qing, who had met him once in Ryukyu before.

Before coming, he had already inquired that ALS is a recognized "incurable disease" in neurology, and currently only a few large hospitals in China can provide certain treatment plans.

For example, the Imperial Capital Tiantan Hospital where Xie Qing works happens to be a leader in neurology and neurosurgery. With professional matching, Chen Jue directly sent his old father to Tiantan Hospital to apply for the top-level special ward.

However, since it is a public hospital, professional doctors are busy every day. If you want to make an appointment with a specialist, you can't just book a special ward.

After Chen Jue and Dr. Xie Qing communicated, he donated 8 million yuan of consolation funds to the hospital on the spot.

After that, several chief physicians and experts in neurology came forward to conduct a joint consultation on Chen Hongmin's condition.

However, the consultation results were not ideal, because there are only two treatments for ALS at present:

One is to perform percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for patients with severe dysphagia through surgery to ensure the patency of the airway and assist patients in expectoration. When the auxiliary respiratory muscles are weak, non-invasive assisted ventilation or tracheotomy can be given.

The second is through drug treatment, using drugs such as riluzole to treat the patient's body.

"Doctor Xie, I have seen these two methods, and they are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"They are all targeted at complications such as respiratory muscle paralysis, lung infection, limb paralysis, and heart rate imbalance. Isn't there a treatment method that directly acts on ALS itself?" Chen Jue showed some concerns after reading the diagnosis and several treatment plans.

Both of these treatments are accompanied by certain side effects. For example, Riluzole is a drug that regulates the body's sodium channels and has a certain burden on the liver.

Chen Hongmin has been imprisoned underground for more than ten years. Due to long-term unhealthy diet and high-intensity work, his internal organs are far less functional than those of normal peers.

At this time, taking such strong medicine can only be said to be drinking poison to quench thirst.

"Mr. Chen, your father's ALS has reached the early to mid-stage stage. If these two mainstream methods are not used to prolong his life."

"Then we can only use free radical scavengers such as edaravone for injection to inhibit delayed neuronal death, improve nervous system function, and prolong the time of onset. But this drug will also increase the metabolic burden on the liver."

Xie Qing shook his head and explained. As the chief physician of Tiantan Hospital, he also looked like he had more than enough.

After all, before the medical community has figured out the cause of ALS or developed a specific drug, the current treatment method is to prolong the patient's life.

To use a simple analogy similar to the international dart target, ALS belongs to the center 10 points of the target, but because this 10 points is shrouded in the fog of war, the dart player cannot see its existence at all.

You can only use the existing drugs and methods in the medical community to shoot randomly to score points outside the 10 points.

If you hit the target, you can live a few more years, but if you miss the target, you can only survive for a while before you die.

This is how the so-called terminal illness comes from.

"Is there no other way?"

"Are there any more advanced treatment methods at home and abroad?" Chen Jue was disappointed when he heard it.

"Our Tiantan Hospital is an authority in the field of neurology and neurosurgery. We communicate with foreign medical teams regularly every month. If we can't cure it here, we won't have a good solution in Europe, America, or Cuba."

"Your father's situation is not an isolated case. Vice President Cai of JD.com is also fighting ALS now."

"He also set up a medical research team, joined forces with advanced domestic pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories, and even set up an ALS research big data platform to collect patients from all over the world for targeted research."

"But so far, there is not much hope of cure." Xie Qing mentioned a specific case in this regard.

According to Xie Qing, when faced with a terminal illness with no cure, it is useless to mess around with money and connections.

Because in the face of ALS, Chen Jue is not the first rich man to face this terminal illness.

"Mr. Cai of JD.com?"

Chen Jue was also touched when he heard this.

Because he had seen Mr. Cai's story on the Internet before.

The desperation to fight the disease and the desire to survive are moving for everyone.

However, Chen Jue saw another way to cure his father through Mr. Cai's story.

"Since traditional medicine doesn't work, let's do the same as Mr. Cai and try to find other ways out!"

"Anyway, the existing methods can't cure it, so let's just try it out!" Chen Jue's eyes flickered, staring at his panel with a few more alternative ideas. (End of this chapter)
