Chapter 497

"Mr. Song, do you want to use NMR? Don't we have an MRI in our hospital?" Guo Xiang said.

Last time I learned from Mr. Yang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the cancer hospital has the only MRI in China, which cost US $1.5 million to import.

"Yes, but the cost of MRI is too high." Song tingshen pondered for a moment.

Guo Xiang nodded. That's true. I thought it could be cheap in this era, but the NMR instrument is so expensive that it is close to the price of later generations. The cost should not be cheap.

"How much is it at a time?" Asked Guo Xiang.

"It's about 300 yuan. If it's the head, it's even more expensive." Song tingshen said.

In this era, the high salary is only more than 100 a month. Once, the salary is gone for three months.

If Lin Yingguo himself is OK, he is a public official and can reimburse medical expenses, but Lin Jingan is still a student. Now he doesn't have any medical insurance, so he has to bear the expenses by himself.

Although Lin Yingguo is a county magistrate, his salary is low at this time, and money can be calculated. If there is no gray income, his life savings may be twenty or thirty thousand yuan.

Seeing a disease costs almost all your savings.

The main reason is that the disease may not look good.

In future generations, a liver cancer will cost almost 200000 or 300000. Ordinary families do not say that they can take it out casually.

Therefore, as the saying goes, no matter what kind of illness, illness, especially serious illness, ordinary people can't afford it in any age.

"Is that still enhanced with CT? Then you have to make a shadow agent... "Guo Xiang said, but the cost is much cheaper.

"What do you mean by NMR? Is it better for my son? " Lin Yingguo asked.

"Uncle Lin, this MRI is a kind of detector, which can clearly show the internal structure of liver tumor and its relationship with intrahepatic blood vessels, and can clearly show the internal structural characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma, which is more conducive to our diagnosis, but the cost is too high."

"There is also a CT machine, which is also possible, but it is necessary to Enhance CT and create shadow agents, which can also achieve the same purpose, and the cost is cheaper."

"Of course, the diagnosis of liver cancer is not only this, but also five items of liver cancer and B-ultrasound assistance, but those two imaging examinations are the most expensive." Guo Xiang said.

"Do you think it's necessary?" Lin Yingguo asked.

Guo Xiang pondered for a moment. In fact, in later generations, she preferred MRI, because MRI can provide more information than CT, and the resolution of soft tissue is higher than CT.

If some patients have a CT examination in advance, the doctor sometimes suggests that the patient have another MRI.

But now the situation is somewhat different. In this era, the cost is too high, and it is not impossible to use CT, so we can save a little.

"Then still use CT?" Guo Xiang asked song tingshen.

He nodded, "yes."

Lin Yingguo also nodded. They didn't understand this at all. Of course, what the doctor said was what he said, and he was familiar with Guo Xiang. He knew that she shouldn't pit herself.

Song tingshen ordered Lin Jing'an to be hospitalized and arranged various examinations.

"Dr. Song, can my son be cured?" Lin Mu asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

Song tingshen and Guo Xiang looked at each other and said, "in fact, we now have a way to change your son's liver. If you two match your son's blood type and have no problem, donate a liver for transplantation to your son."

"Is that ok? Then I will! " Lin mother said immediately.

"However, our operation has never been used clinically. I don't know whether it can succeed, and I don't know whether it can be approved." Song tingshen said.

This is to make it clear that family members of patients should not be blindly hopeful.

"That is to say, no one has done it before?" Lin Yingguo frowned.

"Yes, so after we have done the examination now, we can only temporarily take conservative treatment, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and try to prolong the patient's life." Song tingshen said reluctantly, "now the advanced stage of liver cancer is an incurable disease, and we can't help it."

"In other words, there is still a glimmer of hope for liver replacement, but there is no guarantee of success?" Lin Yingguo asked.

"Yes!" Song tingshen nodded, "I can't even guarantee whether I can have this operation, because I've been in the experimental stage before and haven't done it for anyone."

"But animal experiments have been successful." Guo Xiang interposed, and she came from later generations. She knows that this operation is very common in the future and has great hope of success.

"As long as there is a glimmer of life, we are willing to try!" Lin Yingguo said that his son is still so young and has been admitted to such a good school. He has a great future and can't let it be ruined.

"OK, I'll convey your wishes. I have to wait for notice. I'll treat you conservatively during this period." Song tingshen said.

"Dr. Song, you're bothered." Lin Yingguo shook song tingshen's hand.

Song tingshen arranged for Lin Jing'an to stay in the ward.

Guo Xiang asked Lin Jing'an's parents, "what will your uncle and aunt do in the future?"

You should leave someone to take care of Lin Jing'an. You won't always let Zhang Ling take care of you?

"I stayed. Jing'an's father asked for a week's leave and he had to go back to work. We can't both be here. We still have a little son at home. Moreover, his father's unit in Jing'an can't leave at once, and there are people at home to make money. " Lin's mother said, looking a little sad.

"Understand!" Guo Xiang nodded, "then don't find a hotel. Rent a room directly. It's cheap. It's more convenient to send meals to Lin Jing'an in the future."

"I think so, too." Lin Mu nodded.

"Aunt, let me take you to find a house." Zhang Ling said that after all, he had stayed in the capital for two years and was familiar with it.

"Please!" Lin Mu is very grateful.

Guo Xiang didn't say anything. She wouldn't let them live in her own house. First, there are Gu Zhennan and his grandfather at home. They may not like strangers living at home.

Second, they are not relatives. It's good to help here. They don't want to make more trouble for themselves.

Besides, renting a house is not expensive now. Most of the people who see a doctor have gone. This money is nothing.

However, if the above approved the operation, this is the first liver transplantation. Maybe as an experiment, the operation fee can be reduced or exempted.

With this in mind, Guo Xiang decided to ask song tingshen if he could reduce the operation fee.

Guo Xiang called Zhang Ling out, "don't you have to go to class? There's Lin Jing'an here. Don't worry about it in the future, and you... "

Guo Xiang looked at her stomach and whispered, "think of the children in your stomach."

"I know." Zhang Ling nodded, "I asked for a few days off and have to go back to class. Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll pay attention. "

"Then I won't come this afternoon. I only asked for half a day off. I'll talk to Mr. Song later. You don't have to worry about things here." Guo Xiang said.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Zhang Ling nodded.
