Chapter 1035 Go to another hospital

   "Then what is my mother's disease?" the patient's daughter asked.

   "I suspect it is'primary systemic amyloidosis'." Guo Xiang said.

  "What kind of **** change?" The mother and daughter are confused and have never heard of it. Most people say that kidney disease, heart disease, leukemia, etc., but purple epilepsy rarely hears and understands, what is amyloidosis?

  "Is too much starch? What does it have to do with starch?" the patient asked.

  "It has nothing to do with starch." Guo Xiang shook his head. "It is a disease in which the protein in the body deposits in the intercellular tissues of the whole body like starch, thereby destroying the function of cells and organs."

"Like your mother now, the deposition on the skin is skin amyloidosis, so it bleeds at the touch of it, and not only the skin. Look at her tongue, which is so big, it is not tongue coating but also protein deposits. Not only that, she said Those uncomfortable places..."

"I suspect that there is a problem. This disease is that amyloid deposits in any place and there is a disease. For example, when deposited in the heart, it will cause cardiac insufficiency, and when deposited in the kidneys, it will cause kidney damage until uremia. damage."

   The expressions of the mother and daughter changed drastically, "Then my mother's internal organs are not good?" the patient's daughter asked.

   "I don't know yet, so I said to check, to do a comprehensive check." Guo Xiang emphasized.

  "This disease is also a clinical manifestation of myeloma. The more serious point is myeloma. However, the treatment methods are similar. They all use hormones or chemotherapy, or bone marrow autologous transplantation!" Guo Xiang said.

   "Chemotherapy, transplantation? Is this cancer?" The mother and daughter were shocked.

  "If it is not the level of myeloma, it will still be treated like this. It is a more serious disease." Guo Xiang said, "Of course, we still have to be diagnosed. Let's get an examination first?"

  The mother and daughter looked at each other, and the daughter pulled her mother to the door, "Mom, or let's change the hospital, I heard it is expensive!"

   "But, what if the doctors in other hospitals don't know what to do with this disease? You see, we haven't visited other hospitals before, have suffered so many crimes and taken so many medicines, haven't we not found out..." The patient worried.

   "Then who knows if what she said is true, I heard that private hospitals are black-hearted." The patient's daughter curled her lips.

  The mother is in a complicated mood, and the daughter is not willing to make money. "I still have some savings. I will let the boss and the second take some money tomorrow..."

   "Mom, I didn't mean that." The patient's daughter blushed.

“I’m still going to see it in this hospital. I don’t want to worry about it. I have to go to other hospitals to check it. I have inquired that the equipment in this hospital is imported. I don't want to die." The patient's face was a bit ugly.

   "Mom, I didn't say that you would not be allowed to treat me,...oh, forget it, check it out!" The patient's daughter was helpless, she didn't want to bear a reputation for unfilial piety.

  The two walked in front of Guo Xiang again, and the patient said, "Doctor, please give me an examination, please tell me which examinations should be done."

   "Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded, "But there are a lot of inspections. You can't finish the inspection in one or two days. Let's be hospitalized!"

   "Okay, then be hospitalized." The patient nodded.

  Guo Xiang gave the patient a hospitalization form, and then various checklists, and said some precautions.

  After a few days, the results came out, and it turned out to be systemic amyloidosis, which is actually similar to bone marrow cancer, but the index was relatively light and reached, and various organs have varying degrees of damage.

  It is still necessary to treat bone marrow cancer according to the method.

  "One is chemotherapy, and the other is autologous bone marrow transplantation!" Guo Xiang said, "Chemotherapy is the use of cancer drugs, which may take more than half a year. This disease cannot be completely cured, but can only improve the quality of life."

  "Autologous bone marrow transplantation is a bone marrow transplantation, but unlike leukemia, this bone marrow can use its own bone marrow. It does not require matching and is not afraid of rejection."

  In fact, some leukemias in later generations can also use autologous bone marrow transplantation.

  "How can I still use my bone marrow if I have problems?" The patient was puzzled.

"It needs to be processed, that is, take a part of your own bone marrow, treat it to kill cancer cells, and then reinject it into the bone marrow. However, our hospital already has a stem cell separator to separate the stem cells and kill the cancer cells. Just inject the stem cells back into your body."

   "However, the cost of this operation is very high, costing 10,000 to 20,000 yuan." Guo Xiang said.

  This operation will cost more than 100,000 to 200,000 in later generations. It is now in the early 1990s, and 10,000 to 20,000 are still needed.

  "So expensive?" The patient's daughter cried. The current salary is only three to four hundred a month, and only three to four thousand a year, which requires several years of salary.

  Her mother's generation had less money, and almost all her savings were gone.

  This is how people can live well when they are not sick. As long as there is a serious illness, the whole life's money is only enough to see a doctor.

  So some people say that people spend their lives in the first half of their lives to make money, and spend their lives in the second half of their lives.

   "Look, if you want to be treated, you can collect the medical expenses?" Guo Xiang said. Nowadays, public hospitals have to pay first before treating illnesses, not to mention that she is a private hospital.

   "I don't have enough money now, let's go back and collect the money first." The patient said that she had saved a few thousand yuan in her lifetime, which was not enough.

   "Okay!" Guo Xiang nodded. Naturally, they had the final say. She had already told them the method and the money needed, and they weighed it for themselves.

  The two went out, and Guo Xiang heard them talking outside.

   "Mom, it's too expensive, shall we go to another hospital?"

"also!"

  Guo Xiang smiled, saying that the stem cell separator is only available here, and other hospitals really don’t have it, but it’s not impossible to pump the bone marrow directly, and it’s even more guilty.

  It’s okay to go to a cancer hospital, but the number of beds in public hospitals is tight and it’s not so easy to see.

   Each has its pros and cons.

  There are no patients for the time being. Guo Xiang enters the medical records into the computer. There is no internet yet, but she bought a computer a long time ago, and some data can still be saved in the computer for later search.

  At this time, there were footsteps coming in, and Guo Xiang looked up, and it turned out to be You Li, the woman who once said she was pregnant with Gu Zhennan's child.

  It’s April, and the weather is warm, but it’s not hot yet. Yuli has already put on a skirt, and it’s a maternity skirt, which is still rare in this period.

  It was December when she came to make trouble. At that time, it was found that she had been pregnant for more than a month. It should be more than five months now. Her belly is already quite big. I don't know if it is because of wearing a skirt that it looks very big.

  She is wearing a bright red maternity dress with light makeup. She looks very beautiful, but she is a bit too fashionable in this era.

  Guo Xiang glanced at her lightly, "Come for a pregnancy test?"

  Last time I wanted to sue Peiwen, but because of Fu Peiwen’s accident, I didn’t get it done. Naturally, the money I promised Yuli was not given yet. Is this asking for the money today?
