After listening to the translator's description, Chen Jue looked at his father sleeping on the hospital bed and his brows began to frown.
His mood at the moment was a mixture of relief and worry, just like riding a roller coaster with constant ups and downs.
I was thankful that my old father, who had lost contact for more than ten years, was finally rescued. I was extremely happy to see my loved one.
It was like a huge rock pressing on my heart was finally removed.
After all, in Chen Jue's impression, his father Chen Hongmin supported his originally broken family, allowing him, a young boy from a rural area, to see the few hopes in life during his fragmented growth process.
But Chen Jue didn't want to see his father's injuries at this time. He would rather go through all this suffering himself than see his relatives end up like this.
The feeling of worrying about your children is difficult to describe to outsiders.
The saying "the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, the son wants to support his parents but they are no longer there" probably describes Chen Jue's current situation.
……
After staying 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 uttered a hoarse voice from his throat: "Xiao Jue..."
The lack of companionship for more than ten years, and the feeling of missing and indebtedness towards his son made Chen Hongmin burst into tears.
"Dad, I'm here to pick you up."
"Leave the rest to me!"
"You've worked hard over the years."
Chen Jue held his old father's hand and slowly recounted his experiences and changes in the family over the past decade.
When he learned that his son already had a girlfriend, a female teacher in Hangzhou, and that even the date for getting the marriage certificate had been set, Chen Hongmin finally had a smile on his old face.
However, when he thought about his serious illness and the huge amount of money he would have to spend on treatment, he began to feel uneasy. He thought to himself, "It would be better if I wasn't rescued, so I wouldn't be a burden to my son."
"Xiao Jue is already in his 30s and still hasn't gotten married. I am such a failure as a father."
Most older parents have this mentality, that is, even if they cannot create good material conditions for their children, they are unwilling to burden their children financially.
What Chen Hongmin didn't expect was that Chen Jue's next move was beyond his imagination.
Because he did not trust the local medical level, Chen Juexian 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 Country for treatment.
For ALS, a terminal illness, local private hospitals in the country of Pizza do not have any particularly good treatment methods and can only treat other symptoms first.
After spending a week to nurse Chen Hongmin out of danger, Chen Jue directly purchased a large number of medical equipment and loaded them onto his private plane, and also invited a medical team to accompany him on the plane.
When Chen Hongmin learned that his son was already a billionaire, and a super-rich man who was rich enough to buy two private jets to ride on, his eyes began to show all kinds of insecurity.
Because he knows his family's situation best.
At that time, Chen Hongmin left Vancouver and went to Europe to work and pay off his debts. His family owed hundreds of thousands of dollars in favors, and Chen Jue had just entered high school.
I was thankful that my son could finish his studies successfully. I never expected that he would be so successful and create such a big business from scratch without any help from his family.
It’s moving to think about the hardships involved.
As a result, Chen Hongmin's sense of debt to his son became stronger and stronger, and he repeatedly said that his son was incurable.
It was not until I boarded Chen Jue's Gulfstream G550 that I saw the foreign doctors and translators surrounding me, with such a friendly service attitude that they treated me like their own father.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hongmin finally accepted the fact that Chen Jue had become rich overnight.
……
Flying all the way from Pizza Country to the imperial capital with his old father, after landing, Chen Jue contacted Dr. Xie Qing, whom he had met once before in Ryukyu.
He had already inquired before coming. ALS is a recognized "incurable disease" in neurology, and currently only a few large hospitals in China can provide certain treatment options.
The Imperial Capital Tiantan Hospital where Xie Qing worked happened to be a leader in neurology and neurosurgery. With the right professional match, Chen Jue sent his father directly to Tiantan Hospital to apply for a top-level special ward. However, since it was a public hospital, the professional doctors were busy every day, and if you wanted to make an appointment with a specialist, you couldn't just book a special ward.
After communicating with doctors Chen Jue and Xie Qing, they donated 800 million yuan in consolation funds to the hospital on the spot.
Afterwards, 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 currently only two treatments for ALS:
One is to perform percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy on patients with severe dysphagia through surgical operation to ensure the patentness of the airway and assist the patient 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
"Thank you, Doctor. I've seen both of these methods, but they only treat the symptoms and not the root cause."
"All treatments are targeted at complications such as respiratory muscle paralysis, lung infection, limb paralysis, and heart rate imbalance. Isn't there any treatment that directly acts on ALS itself?" Chen Jue showed some concern after reading the diagnosis and several treatment plans.
Both types of symptomatic treatments are accompanied by certain side effects. For example, riluzole, a drug that regulates the body's sodium channels, 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.
Taking such drastic measures at this time would only be like drinking poison to quench thirst.
"Mr. Chen, your father's ALS has reached the early to mid-stage stage. If we don't use these two mainstream methods to prolong his life."
"The only option is to use free radical scavenger injections such as edaravone to inhibit delayed neuronal death, improve nervous system function, and prolong the duration of disease onset. However, this drug will also increase the metabolic burden on the liver."
Xie Qing shook his head and explained that as the chief physician of Tiantan Hospital, he also had the intention but not the ability.
After all, before the medical community figures out the cause of ALS or develops a specific drug, the current treatment options are to prolong the patient's life.
To use a simple analogy similar to the international dart target board, ALS belongs to the center 10 points of the target board, but because this 10 points is shrouded in the fog of war, the dart player cannot see its existence at all.
We can only use the existing drugs and methods in the medical field and make blind attempts to shoot for scores outside the 10-point range.
If you guess right, you can live a few more years. If you guess wrong, you can only live for a while before you die.
This is how the so-called terminal illness comes about.
"Is there no other way?"
"Are there any more advanced treatment methods at home or abroad?" Chen Jue's heart sank when he heard this.
"Our Tiantan Hospital is an authority in the field of neurology and neurosurgery. We communicate with foreign medical teams on a regular basis every month. If we can't get the treatment here, we won't get a good solution in Europe, America or Cuba."
"Your father's situation is not an isolated case. 's Vice President Cai is also currently fighting ALS."
"He also personally established a medical research team, joined forces with advanced domestic pharmaceutical companies and research laboratories, and even created an ALS research big data platform to collect data from patients around the world for targeted research."
"But so far there hasn't been much hope for a cure." Xie Qing mentioned a specific case in this regard.
According to Xie Qing, when faced with a terminal illness that has no cure, it would be in vain no matter how much money and connections you have.
Because when it comes to ALS, Chen Jue is not the first wealthy person to face this terminal illness.
“Is this Mr. Cai from JD?”
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 will move anyone who sees it.
However, through the story of Mr. Cai, Chen Jue also saw another way to heal his old father.
“Since traditional medicine doesn’t work, let’s do what Mr. Cai did and try to find other solutions!”
"Since the existing methods can't cure it, let's just try it out!" Chen Jue's eyes flickered, staring at his own panel with a few alternative ideas. (End of this chapter)
