Kelly walked into the attending doctor's office and asked about his father's condition in detail.
This hospital is the most famous lung hospital in the UK - the Royal Brompton Hospital.
Because this hospital is very famous throughout the UK and even Europe, European royal nobles, celebrities, top businessmen, and even some celebrities will go to Brompton Hospital for treatment if they have lung problems.
Therefore, the admission quota at Brompton Hospital is usually full.
Kelly also spent a lot of effort and entrusted many connections to get his father to move in.
In the attending doctor's office, Professor Bissell looked through old Kelly's medical records in detail.
Kelly Sr. is 73 years old and has a smoking history of 50 years.
Even though Kelly was diagnosed with emphysema and COPD 10 years ago, he did not quit smoking.
It was just that this year his health deteriorated very seriously. Every time he smoked, he would cough violently and be out of breath. As a result, old Kelly had no choice but to quit smoking.
But even this can no longer prevent the serious deterioration of the lung condition.
Professor Bissell closed the medical record and said to Kelly: "After repeated diagnosis of the patient's condition, we have determined that there is no better treatment."
"Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is not cancer, in the later stages of the disease it is as harmful as cancer."
"The patient will gradually feel that the body is deprived of oxygen, have difficulty breathing, and will eventually suffocate and die."
"Before this, patients were more likely to die from heart failure due to heart problems."
"Most patients with lung disease also have some degree of heart disease."
Bissell put down the pen in his hand and said seriously: "Even if the patient continues to be hospitalized, he will be anesthetized, intubated and waiting for death. For the patient, the rest of his life will be extremely painful and without any quality of life.
.”
"So from a doctor's perspective, my personal suggestion is to take your father back for final hospice care."
"As long as you have oxygen-generating equipment at home, bring it to him at any time. I will prescribe some pain-relieving drugs for you to make his physical condition as comfortable as possible."
After all, Kelly is the editor-in-chief of "Natural Medicine" magazine, and he certainly knows the most advanced medical methods in the world.
Kelly said anxiously: "What if the lungs are replaced? Apart from the lung disease, my father's other physical indicators are pretty good. Can the lungs be replaced?"
Kelly has been exposed to relevant medical reports for a long time, and of course he knows that lung transplantation can be completed with current medical technology.
In 1963, Dr. John Doy of the University of Mississippi performed the first human lung transplant.
However, more than 40 cases were performed in the next 20 years without success.
Then, in 1983, doctors from the University of Toronto successfully performed a single lung transplant on a patient with pulmonary fibrosis, marking the beginning of modern lung transplantation.
Lung transplantation in the UK is relatively mature, and Kelly has learned that such an operation can be performed.
Because if I do it, my father may still have about 5 years to live.
But if he doesn't do this, his father's life may come to an abrupt end in the next few days.
Bissell shook his head and said: "The patient is relatively old and has some heart problems, so he cannot accept such an organ transplant."
"Besides, Professor Kelly, you are also in the medical field. You should know that suitable organs are not so easy for us to find. It still takes a certain amount of time. Your father may not be able to wait until that day."
"In addition, some rejection will occur after organ transplantation. With your father's current physical condition, it will be difficult for him to survive if some rejection occurs."
Kelly felt extremely sad, but suddenly, Kelly thought of a paper from Xia Guo that he had just read some time ago - "Rhodospirillum and cyanobacteria use electric charge to replace photosynthesis after gene shearing"
, Exploring the combined mechanism of oxygen production in biological organisms and biological needs."
The content of this paper is that a medical company in Xia Guo cooperates with the Xia Guo Academy of Sciences to produce oxygen through "photosynthesis-like" bacterial colony consortia, which can supply the needs of the body.
An example was written in the paper.
A patient in Xia Guo had lung adenocarcinoma. Because the cancer cells had not metastasized, the hospital decisively removed the patient's lungs and transplanted the patient's combined bacterial colonies.
This patient was still able to live normally after losing his lungs.
When Kelly saw this paper, he thought it was a fantasy.
And relying on his many years of experience as a medical editor, he rejected the editor Ferris's suggestion to publish this paper in the "Natural Medicine" weekly.
But now Kelly feels this may be his only chance.
Regardless of whether Xia Guo's experiment was real or not, Kelly had to find out.
Kelly hurried back to the editorial office and rummaged through the trash can, but unfortunately he couldn't find any relevant papers.
He hurriedly asked Ferris to print out another copy.
Fortunately, Ferris did not throw this paper into the recycle bin and delete it.
Kelly read the contents of the paper over and over again, and he still couldn't believe it.
Kelly then searched Google for relevant news about Xia based on the content of the paper.
Kelly couldn't read Chinese, so he had to use a translator to translate one by one.
He also felt that the translation was too slow, so he simply called a Chinese editor from the editorial department over and asked him to read the translated content to him one by one.
Sure enough, Xia State had a lot of reports on this.
And according to these reports, the relevant national departments of Xia State have designated this technology as a national biomedical innovation technology, and are merging multiple parties to establish relevant research institutions.
Kelly was excited after seeing the news.
He felt that his father must be saved.
Kelly left his father in London for treatment while he purchased a plane ticket and immediately went to Yanjing, the Xia Kingdom.
He needs to first find the Yenching Academy of Sciences to find out the exact situation.
If the situation is true, Kelly does not rule out spending a lot of money to hire a medical team to go to the UK to treat his father.
…
Chen Xiao arrived in Shenzhen City.
Tiangong Technology has begun building factories in Huidong, Dongguan and other areas near Shenzhen City.
In particular, the order volume for Angda motherboards is very huge - in addition to Shenchuan, Founder and Tongfang are also using Angda motherboards.
Therefore, the most important factory built by Tiangong Technology near Shenzhen City is to produce motherboard products.
After Chen Xiao arrived in Shenzhen City, he also received a generous gift from Wu Jun - a large villa located near Xiaomeisha.
The villa is located near the mountains and the sea, and the scenery is very beautiful.
The large garden leads directly to the seaside, and the location is perfect.
Wu Jun smiled and said to Chen Xiao: "I bought this for you with my personal funds. It has nothing to do with our company."
Chen Xiao was also polite and accepted generous gifts.
Gifts between private individuals do not involve the government or state-owned enterprises, and are not illegal at all.
What's more, Changtian Technology has brought a lot of profits to Wu Jun himself. He spent a lot of money to buy a villa for only a small amount of money.
Wu Jun also mysteriously said to Chen Xiao: "There is also a generous gift, which you have to see in person."
