As a top-ranked hospital in the United States for gastroenterology, Sid Sinai Medical Center receives thousands of patients every year.

Similar to Mayo, those who can come to such a top hospital must be rich or expensive. Ordinary Americans have no chance. Unless the hospital with a special disease is willing to give you a green light, the insurance company will not make it difficult for you.

Otherwise, going bankrupt and falling into poverty due to illness is not something that only happens in certain countries.

Professor Bradrick now has such a wealthy patient, which is very troublesome.

Los Angeles is the base of Hollywood in the United States. It has some of the top film and television companies in the world, among which the six major studios are famous.

Rupert, the boss of Fox Entertainment, is one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood, the so-called man at the top of the food chain in the film and television industry.

Fox produced famous movies such as "Titanic" and "Avatar" (later), with a market value of several billion dollars, making it an absolute behemoth.

But the entertainment company is just one of Rupert's industries. He also owns cable TV networks, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, and his family is one of the six largest conglomerates in the United States.

But now the boss, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, is lying on the hospital bed dying, skinny and skinny, and the exposed head looks like a skull.

The white fat emulsion injection is slowly dripping into the old man who has only a skeleton left, maintaining his life.

Various state-of-the-art instruments in the ward have been monitoring the vital signs of this Hollywood tycoon, and beeping alarm sounds from time to time.

"Mr. Rupert, this is a new test report. The F8 activity in your plasma is still 1%. This situation is not suitable for surgery at all."

Professor Bradrick stood at the head of the bed and explained patiently.

The old man in the hospital bed became extremely angry when he heard the news:

"Fake, after spending so much money, why can't my coagulation factor go up? When can I have surgery? Do you think I don't know? If I don't have surgery, I'm afraid I won't survive next Christmas.

Is this what some people want to see?"

Because it’s already Christmas, and the hospital is filled with the singing of Jinglebells, jinglebells, and Jinglealltheway. You can hear it even in the ward.

Patients who are seriously ill often have extreme thoughts and are suspicious. Especially for such top rich people, there is always an illusion that unruly people want to kill me.

"No, no, no, Mr. Rupert, you also know that you are born with hemophilia. Have you forgotten that last time you had a cavity removed, the bleeding could not stop, and you had to be sent to the intensive care unit?

Is something going on?"

Hemophilia is a type of disease that causes bleeding or failure to stop bleeding due to the lack of a certain coagulation factor, leading to coagulation dysfunction.

Most of them are caused by genetics, but some are acquired, such as caused by drugs.

Coagulation factors are a group of important proteins in the human body. When blood vessels rupture, they work with platelets to promote blood coagulation, repair holes in blood vessels, and achieve hemostasis.

Due to the lack of corresponding coagulation factors in the body of patients with hemophilia, it is difficult to stop bleeding in a short period of time after a blood vessel ruptures, so even minor trauma can cause massive bleeding.

Spontaneous bleeding can occur even without trauma, causing life-threatening consequences.

And the most deceiving thing is that this disease is passed on from male to female.

Because the sex chromosomes are XY for men and XX for women. The causative gene for hemophilia exists in X. Women must have problems with both X chromosomes to develop the disease, but men only have one X chromosome.

Diseases abound.

The most famous patient with hemophilia is Queen Victoria of Great Britain in the 19th century.

The old lady gave birth to a large number of children, and then the children married various royal families in Europe. As a result, most of the offspring were born with "hemophilia".

These noble gentlemen usually dare not bump into each other, so they are also called "glass princes".

So hemophilia has another nickname, called "aristocratic disease".

In the 1980s when genetically recombinant FVIII preparations or virus-inactivated blood-borne FVIII preparations had not yet been invented, hemophilia was a disease with no solution.

It is very unfortunate that the Hollywood tycoon in the hospital bed suffers from this kind of hemophilia, which causes heavy bleeding at every turn, and it is still late and severe.

What's even more unfortunate is that this boss happened to suffer from "achalasia" again.

As the condition worsened, the cardiac region was completely closed, and Rupert could not eat normally. People will starve to death if they cannot eat. This is basic common sense. Nutritional injections can only be used to maintain life.

For hospitals in the United States, achalasia is not a terminal illness and can still be treated through surgery.

Although the efficacy of surgery is uncertain and there are a lot of side effects, people are dying now, so they can’t do anything about it. Let’s first remove the obstruction caused by the closure of the cardia.

It's a pity that this Hollywood boss has no way to undergo surgery because of severe hemophilia.

Because the stomach is inside the chest, if you want to perform gastric surgery, you must first cut the skin, then saw off the ribs, open the sternum, and then continue to cut the stomach. No matter which step is taken, it will kill this boss.

The biggest problem is that the bleeding doesn't stop, and the small wound is okay. This kind of invasive major surgery has only one ending, and he must die on the operating table.

If Rupert was a poor and powerless person, from the perspective of medical experiments, the doctor might dare to try surgery if he had prepared all the blood products.

Anyway, if you are a poor person, you will die if you die.

But if he survives, it will be a great improvement to the doctor's personal reputation.

But the scrawny old man in front of me is the boss of a top Hollywood film and television company. He has great energy and is not so easy to mess with.

Therefore, the attending doctor would rather take the most conservative treatment than take any risks. He does not seek merit, but seeks no fault.

When rich people die, they die, and it’s not their doctors who die anyway.

Free America is shot every day, and doctors don’t want to be shot secretly while walking on the street.

Don't doubt the bottom line of the rich. For the rich and powerful, the bottom line is meant to be broken.

Professor Bradrick was sprayed by the old man on the hospital bed. He did not dare to show his displeasure at all, but could only continue to explain patiently.

What can I do if I don’t explain it? The rich man gave me too much, so much that I could betray my self-esteem.

"Mr. Rupert, don't worry. Now I have contacted many experts in hematology and gastroenterology. I have even contacted Mr. Grace, the president of the International Society of Gastroenterology, and asked him to help contact the whole country.

The world's most authoritative gastroenterologists, let's come up with a solution together."

The boss is lying on the hospital bed in despair.

When he was healthy, all he could think about was the colorful world of beauties in cars and the red sofa in his office, on which almost all the beauties in Hollywood had "tested".

What a wonderful life it was, but when I was old, I got such a strange disease.

Yes, for Rupert, this is a strange disease.

You said he would get gastric cancer directly, but he gave up because of a problem with his stomach muscles.

Such a "little problem" actually made his life worse than death, which made the boss very unwilling, because this is obviously a curable disease.

As a result, because of his ancestral hemophilia, he was unable to undergo surgery and suffered both physical and mental pain every day, which was simply unbearable.

To use Zhao Benshan's words to describe it: The money is still there, but the people are gone. This is really a death with a sigh of relief.

"Bradrick, you can help me contact the most famous doctors in the world, and you can even say that as long as anyone can cure my disease, I will never be stingy and guarantee that they will get an unexpected fortune.

."

"I will definitely help you convey it."

The richest people in the world all have the same moral character, they always like to throw money at people.

If Chen Qi were at the scene, he would definitely shout: Old man, don't be soft-hearted, just use money to kill me.

After coming out of the ward, Professor Bradrick let out a long breath, but he was actually worried.

If the top doctor in the United States wants to have wealthy people sponsor his research and earn private wealth, he needs to be supported by various big shots or fathers who are donors.

This requires a doctor to have superb medical technology and clinical level, and to be able to treat diseases that others cannot. Only then can he be called a famous doctor and attract rich people from all over the country and even the world to treat themselves.

Rupert is a famous and top-tier rich man in the world. How many people are watching him?

If he fails to cure Rupert's disease, the damage to his personal reputation will be great, and those rich people may not choose him as their attending doctor next time.

Now he hopes that international colleagues can help solve such a troublesome medical case and never put the blame in his own hands.

As soon as Professor Bradrick returned to his office, there was a pile of letters on the table, which his assistant had just brought for him.

While drinking coffee, Bradrick read these letters one by one to see if there were any senders he was interested in, so he could check them first.

Suddenly, a letter from China caught his attention.

"Hey, what is this? It's such a big thing."

Because this is a letter, more like a package, wrapped in thick kraft paper, and there is obviously something inside.

Professor Bradrick put on his eyes and took a closer look and found that it was Weizhong Zhang from China. This was a foreign scholar he had taken with him a few years ago. He was deeply impressed by his ability to endure hardships while studying.

.

Professor Bradrick likes this student very much. Unfortunately, this student finally decided to go back and serve the motherland. He is a very pure person.

The two often keep in touch by letters, and Professor Bradrick is willing to communicate with him the latest international medical developments, and sometimes sends some materials and journals to the student.

With a question mark on his head, Professor Bradrick took a paper knife and opened the brown paper package, and found two video tapes and a letter inside.

Professor Bradrick opened the letter and started reading it. His eyes widened as he read more, and he kept murmuring:

"ohmygod, ohmygod, how is this possible?"

Suddenly, Professor Bradrick looked up suddenly and saw a TV and video recorder in the corner of the office. He stood up and ran over excitedly, knocking over his chair because of his excitement.

The loud noise in the professor's office immediately attracted the attention of people in the big office outside.

Several assistants and junior doctors quickly opened the door and came in: "Mr. Professor, what happened?"

Professor Bradrick was stuffing the tape into the video camera with trembling hands.
