Chapter 271 Experts have been invited. Is Dean Min meeting an important figure?
It is estimated that Aixen must have suffered a lot of similar losses, which is why he asked for Li Quan to be the only one to pick him up at the airport.
He came all the way to China, and was picked up by a group of unknown people to entertain him for a few days. He was not aware of the fact that they were paying for his meals and drinks. It would be difficult to get angry at them later.
But I believe no one wants to be used by others.
What's more, he is a top foreign expert . If he is treated like a monkey while going abroad for consultation, where can he put his face?
Li Quan rushed to the hospital. He had to ask for leave from the hospital.
Fortunately, he does not need to engage in clinical treatment now, so his time arrangement is relatively free.
If he needs to take a personal leave, he only needs to ask Professor Liu, the head of the department.
Because of this period of time, he simply gave up his job at the emergency department and hasn't been there for more than 20 days.
…
Sophie was sleeping quietly in the hematology ward of the hospital.
Unlike the past, today her brows were relaxed and she slept very comfortably and naturally.
Even when she was asleep, her brows were slightly furrowed because the leukemia cells had infiltrated her internal organs and bones, causing all kinds of pain.
Li Quan's diagnostic skills were already quite impressive. He could tell with just a glance that Sophie's condition had improved significantly.
Of course, the specific details will only be known after the nurse draws her blood for testing.
Illness comes like a mountain falling and goes away like a thread being pulled out. It is nonsense to think that Sophie's leukemia can be cured by acupuncture alone.
Not to mention a serious illness like leukemia, even a common cold would take at least several days to cure.
Sophie's condition had been getting worse over the past few days, but now it has not only stopped getting worse, but is also showing signs of improvement. Li Quan was naturally very happy.
Finally, there is hope for recovery.
We will bring foreign experts here soon, and there will be a greater chance of curing her.
"Xiao Li, here we come!"
Sophie's mother was sleeping on the edge of the bed, very alert.
She discovered it as soon as Li Quan walked into the ward.
"Auntie, you should have breakfast and go to sleep for a while. Around 8:30 in the morning, I will go out to pick up some important guests." Li Quan was very considerate of Sophie's mother's difficulties.
Sleeping on the edge of the bed might be bearable for a day or two.
It has been nearly half a month since Sophie was hospitalized. Even young people can't stand this every day. But Sophie's mother has persisted.
Her maternal love for her daughter is truly admirable.
"Remember to come back early after you finish meeting the guests. Didn't your uncle Su hire a foreign expert in treating leukemia for Xiaofei? He will be here today, and you will need to stay with him."
Sophie's mother witnessed the effectiveness of Li Quan's traditional Chinese medicine treatment yesterday and is now very optimistic about Li Quan's medical skills.
"Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely be there." Li Quan really wanted to see how awesome the foreign experts Su Bingran had invited at such a high price were.
Sophie, who was sleeping on the hospital bed, didn't wake up at all. It seems that she had a good sleep quality last night.
Li Quan didn't have the heart to wake her up.
While eating breakfast, he read Hua Tuo's book "The Pillow Book of Moxibustion and Acupuncture". He wanted to collect 20 points of favorability as soon as possible and then exchange for the Five Animal Play.
At around seven o'clock, Su Bingran came over.
Su Bingran looked radiant today, with a look of anticipation and joy on his face, unlike his usual solemn expression.
"Xiao Li, I heard that you gave Xiaofei acupuncture yesterday, and the effect was quite good?" Su Bingran must have learned about this from his wife.
"It looks good for now." Li Quan nodded with a smile.
"Dad! Quan! You guys are here so early?" Sophie was awakened by their conversation.
"Haha, is it still early? It's almost seven forty now!" Su Bingran looked at his daughter lying on the hospital bed lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Compared with the strict father before, he is like two different people.
A father’s love is usually deeper than a mother’s, because fathers are not good at expressing themselves, and sometimes they may even be a little rough when disciplining their children.
Su Bingran apparently also noticed that his daughter got up more than an hour later than usual.
Normally, Sophie wakes up before six o'clock because of insomnia and pain.
"Ah...it's so late!" Sophie exclaimed and got up quickly.
She felt very embarrassed.
"Dad, honey, you guys continue chatting. I'm going to go wash up!" Sophie actually got up from the bed by herself, and her movements were obviously much more agile than before.
In the past, she would feel dizzy and weak when getting up, and even needed help from others.
Su Bingran's eyes widened as he looked in surprise at his daughter who walked out of the ward carrying a washbasin and other toiletries.
His expression was changing rapidly.
From surprise to surprise.
"Okay, the silver needle you gave Sophie yesterday was really effective."
For the first time in so many days, Su Bingran smiled with joy from the bottom of his heart. He was even happier than when he successfully invited foreign experts a few days ago.
He had no idea about the quality of the foreign experts they invited.
However, the therapeutic effect of the silver needle treatment Li Quan gave to Sophie was real.
The middle-aged couple who implied that Li Quan was a liar yesterday were also secretly observing Sophie.
Apart from anything else, it is an indisputable fact that Sophie was able to get up on her own today and move more agilely.
"What you see now may not be true. The details still need to be determined by the results of the blood test. But overall, Sophie's condition is beginning to improve, which is a good thing. I will continue to treat her with traditional Chinese medicine."
Li Quan had some things left unsaid.
The acupuncture performed yesterday boosted Sophie's qi and blood, which was equivalent to stimulating her physical potential.
How should I put it? There are both advantages and disadvantages.
Let me put it this way, I believe everyone has heard of the patient's last moments of lucidity before death.
Terminal lucidity is actually the last bit of potential that a patient can generate before dying. On the surface, the patient's condition improves, the voice becomes louder, and the eyes become brighter, but this state does not last long.
Once the potential is exhausted, the patient will die completely.
Of course, Sophie's situation is fundamentally different from a last gasp of lucidity. It was Li Quan who used acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and moxibustion to help her boost her qi and blood.
It not only burns some of her physical potential, but also contains the assistance of drugs.
Qian Yi's book on the treatment of blood diseases in children clearly mentioned that a cure is only possible if multiple treatment methods are implemented simultaneously.
Otherwise, the patient's life may be overdrawn prematurely.
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
This is the most realistic portrayal of Li Quan's treatment of Sophie.
He must keep moving forward and overcome any difficulties he may encounter until Sophie is cured.
After listening to this, Su Bingran nodded repeatedly.
"You act with a maturity and stability that other young people don't have. Uncle Su is very confident in you. By the way, the foreign expert I invited for Xiaofei will arrive today. After I take him over, you can communicate more with the foreign expert to see if you can combine Chinese and Western medicine and treat him at the same time."
After seeing the efficacy of the product, even Su Bingran, a sales manager of a large pharmaceutical company, was tempted.
I began to trust Li Quan's medical skills.
Li Quan's medical skills were even improved to the same level as foreign experts.
"That's no problem! I've asked many people to find out about the background of the expert named Robert that Uncle Su hired, but to no avail. I'd like to remind Uncle Su again that a consultation fee of 50 million is a sky-high price, so you must pay it with caution."
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Su Bingran took the initiative to mention foreign experts, Li Quan once again reminded him to be cautious.
So as not to be cheated.
"Well, I also know that 50 million is indeed a very expensive consultation fee. But as long as my daughter's illness can be cured, any amount of money is worth it. As for the payment of the consultation fee, I won't hide it from you. I have already paid it all to my friend. My friend said that if the money is not paid in full, Robert will not agree to come to treat Sophie at all."
"The other party also said that he would bring a most advanced targeting device this time, which can accurately eliminate leukemia cells in the human body. At the same time, he would also bring some advanced therapeutic drugs that are not available in our country. These costs are all included in the 50 million. So, I think it is worth it."
There must be a reason why Su Bingran decided to hand over such a huge sum of money.
If you can become a sales manager, you are definitely not a fool.
On the contrary, it's quite smart.
On the one hand, he had an acquaintance who acted as a guarantor, and on the other hand, the treatment methods proposed by foreign experts gave Su Bingran hope of curing his daughter.
Especially a few days ago, Sophie's first chemotherapy was ineffective and her condition continued to deteriorate.
This made Su Bingran extremely desperate.
At that time, foreign experts were the only hope he could see.
Li Quan could understand Su Bingran's eagerness to save his daughter.
Since you have already paid, there is no point in saying more.
"Don't worry, I have a plan. I've put the money in the hands of that friend. If the treatment methods of the foreign experts are ineffective, I will only pay a small part of the cost at most."
Su Bingran treated Li Quan as his son-in-law, which was why he revealed these secrets to him.
Li Quan nodded.
At this time, Sophie had come back after washing up.
Compared to her usual paleness, her face now had a rare hint of color. She looked much better.
One can't help but marvel at it.
Su Bingran was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and even praised Li Quan's acupuncture as magical and effective.
"Honey, I'm hungry. Is this the breakfast you bought for me?" Sophie now dared to call Li Quan "honey" even in front of her parents, other patients and their families in the ward.
Perhaps it was the experience of life and death that made her see through many things and become more calm than before.
In addition, she was deeply moved by Li Quan's dedication to her during this period. Everyone in the ward also knew that she and Li Quan were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.
So she became more relaxed and dared to call Li Quan "dear" in public.
"Haha, I knew you would eat more today, so I bought some more for you. And the lean meat and egg porridge was also prepared specially for you."
Li Quan looked at her lovingly.
This was the second time Sophie had expressed her hunger and asked for food since she fell ill.
He was very encouraged by the signs of improvement.
"Okay, I'm leaving! Xiaofei, dad will bring American experts to see you later, and you just wait to be discharged from the hospital and go home in good health!" Su Bingran said with a smile.
"Yeah! Thanks, Dad!"
Sophie agreed vaguely while eating.
Not long after, the nurse walked into the ward.
"Oh, you're having breakfast! Sophie, you look much better!" The nurse's name is Chen Caixia, a very popular name.
About twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
She was the nurse on the morning shift. It was not yet eight o'clock, so she should have just handed over her shift. She rushed over to draw blood for Sophie as soon as possible. It seemed that it was Director Qin's order.
"Fei, Nurse Chen is going to draw your blood for testing. Why don't you eat after the blood is drawn?"
The nurse was so caring, Li Quan would definitely feel embarrassed to let her stand by and wait.
Nurses who have just taken over a shift are usually very busy.
Especially the nurses in the inpatient department.
"Sister Chen, which hand do you want to draw blood from?" Sophie greeted with a sweet smile.
Li Quan couldn't help but admire the girl's communication skills. After being hospitalized for more than half a month, she became familiar with the nurses in the hematology department.
"Haha, you're smiling so happily today, your boyfriend must have fed you honey, right?" Chen Caixia said teasingly with a smile. "Pull your left hand!"
Drawing blood from leukemia patients is a technical job and requires special caution.
Because it is not easy for leukemia patients to stop bleeding.
Everything is going well.
You don't actually need to draw much blood for a routine blood test. Generally speaking, 2 to 4 ml is enough.
The nurses were also particularly gentle to Sophie, a beautiful and kind female patient.
Every time we draw blood from her, we are extremely careful and try to draw as little blood as possible.
Li Quan is very much looking forward to the results of this routine blood test.
As long as it is effective, he will immediately give Sophie Chinese medicine treatment and teach her how to practice the Five Animal Play.
Although he understood the essence of the Five Animal Play, he did not learn the mental method. It would probably not be easy to teach her.
I just hope I can get 20 points of Hua Tuo's favorability as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, opportunities don't come often.
After accompanying Sophie until almost eight o'clock, Li Quan asked Sophie's mother to take over.
He had to rush to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Department to clock in, and then ask Professor Liu for leave.
Li Quan told Professor Liu that he was going to meet several doctors who treated leukemia, and Professor Liu agreed without hesitation.
"Xiao Li, it's a good thing that you can invite doctors from other hospitals to treat leukemia. Communicate more with them, and you will definitely gain something. But be careful not to be deceived. Go ahead. Call me anytime if you have any questions."
Professor Liu is so nice to Li Quan.
After leaving the obstetrics and gynecology building, we saw Vice President Min and several administrative staff from the hospital coming out of the office building at the back.
Normally, Li Quan and Vice President Min do not have a good relationship, and they have even had conflicts.
Even now, the relationship between the two is still very strained.
It's just that everyone maintains superficial peace and keeps to themselves.
Li Quan would definitely not go out of his way to pick a fight with a vice president. If Vice President Min wanted to do something to him, he would have to have the ability to do so.
Dean Tan, Professor Liu and others treat Li Quan like a treasure.
Can you make him move?
"Hey, good morning, Vice President Min!" Li Quan had already met the man, so it would be bad to pretend not to know him, right?
There is no choice but to take the initiative to say hello.
The kind that smiles on the outside but not on the inside.
"morning!"
Vice President Min nodded majestically, glanced at Li Quan indifferently, and hurried towards the parking lot.
Look at how hurried he is, it seems like there is something urgent.
Li Quan also took a special look at the several entourage brought by Vice President Min, who included both beautiful women with extremely high looks and the head of the public relations department with strong communication skills.
What are you doing?
Is there any big shot coming?
Anyone who can be personally received by Vice President Min must be an important figure with great importance.
Although Li Quan was curious, he didn't think much about it. He didn't have a private car, so he could only take a taxi to the airport.
