Chapter 505 Bounty of one million US dollars(1/2)
There are not many doctors who can operate a CT machine. Chen Qihui and Kalima, a doctor who has studied and practiced in European and American countries for many years, can also.
Therefore, this CT examination was conducted jointly by these "enemies".
"Mr. Mbeki, yes, just lie down and put your hands on top of your head. Yes, just don't move."
Chen Qi adjusted his posture, turned around and said to Doctor Hei: "Doctor Kalima, don't you want to confirm your diagnosis? You will operate the CT machine next."
"Okay, no problem, Dr. Chen."
Chen Qi pouted and ran away as fast as he could.
Although the CT machine is placed in the computer room, because the circuit wiring problem has not been solved for a while, the doctor still needs to operate next to the CT machine, and all the radiation is absorbed.
So Chen Qi dug a small hole for this black doctor, and he was willing to do it anyway.
He doesn't want to take too many rays, and then the high pill mutates, and then he wants to have a second child, and give birth to a monster.
Half an hour later, when the film came out, more than a dozen doctors immediately gathered around. Of course, the center was still Chen Qi and Kalima.
At this time, Kalima in the crowd shouted excitedly again:
"Look, look here, the common bile duct is dilated, the lower segment is blocked, and no stones are seen. Isn't this a sign of cholangiocarcinoma?"
Dean Bagri, Director Momberto, and the black doctors around them all have studied in Europe and the United States, so they can understand CT scans, and they all nodded, agreeing with Kalima's judgment.
"Yes, this is already obvious."
"That's right, looking at the obstruction, this bulge should be a tumor."
"Dr. Kalama is still very capable, I admire him!"
Everyone was talking a lot, which made Calais Ma's tail rise higher and higher, and he even looked at Chen Qi a little provocatively, wanting to see how he shot himself in the foot?
He provided the CT scan, but the results showed that the CT results supported the diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma. Now Dr. Hua Guo had nothing to say, right?
Does this also mean that the diagnostic technology of Freetown national doctors represented by Kalama is far superior to that of Chinese doctors?
This makes all the black doctors want to watch Chen Qi's show.
After all, it’s always unpleasant to be pushed over by others.
This has always been a tradition for literati to look down on each other and to undermine each other, not only in China, but also abroad.
As a result, when everyone looked at Dr. Hua Guo, Chen Qi also had a smile on his face, which surprised everyone.
Dr. Kalema couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Chen, now you should believe that this is cholangiocarcinoma, right?"
"No, I am now more convinced that this is bile duct inflammation. You see, the peripheral lymph nodes are not swollen, the protrusion has clear borders, and there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissue. There is no blood vessel distribution inside the protrusion. I have reason to believe that this is a bile duct inflammation.
Inflammatory response."
"Inflammatory reaction? Whose inflammatory reaction would have such an obvious nipple-like protrusion?"
Hahaha, as soon as Kalima finished speaking, everyone around him laughed.
Chen Qi is confident in his diagnosis,
Because he was a hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeon in his previous life. He also studied for his master's and doctoral degrees in this major. His tutor is also the most famous hepatobiliary surgeon in the country, and his diagnosis and treatment level is quite good.
If he can't even understand a small CT film, then he has wasted all his years of studying medicine.
But now it is a scholar meeting a soldier, and it is hard to explain why. What’s more, it is still the home court of black doctors. Chen Qi knows that it is useless to talk more.
So he shrugged:
"I insist that this is bile duct inflammation. Of course, how you report it to Mr. Mbeki is your business. I have also received corresponding compensation. If you need my help for follow-up treatment, you can contact me at any time."
After saying that, Chen Qi took his iconic big backpack, waved and left.
Dean Bagri moved his mouth, but did not stop Chen Qi in the end. Instead, he looked at his subordinates with admiration:
"Kalema, you did a great job and brought glory to our Freetown National Hospital."
Kalima straightened his clothes and felt very happy.
"This shows that we black people are not inferior to Chinese doctors in the field of liver and gallbladder medical treatment. Now that CT is available, our level will be improved in the future."
"Well said!"
Bagri patted Kalima on the shoulder and said: "I will report to the vice president, Mr. L, now, and I will leave the next bile duct cancer surgery to you!"
Kalima, who was still excited at first, suddenly lost all his excitement just now, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
As I said before, surgeries on the liver, biliary and pancreas are all very difficult surgeries.
As for hepatobiliary and pancreatic-related cancer surgery, it is already a ceiling-level surgery.
Once cholangiocarcinoma is diagnosed, the surrounding tissues will inevitably be affected and need to be treated at the same time, even resection of part of the liver, hepatic artery, pancreas, duodenum, and peripheral lymph node dissection.
This surgery is simply too much for most doctors to handle, and it can cause massive bleeding if you're not careful.
The general doctors mentioned here also include second-hand doctors like Dr. Kalama.
For Kalama, being able to diagnose cholangiocarcinoma is already a great achievement and proves his medical level. But now he has to undergo surgery, which will cost him his life.
When he was studying abroad in Taiwan, he was not even qualified to be an assistant for this kind of surgery, let alone the surgeon.
So he broke out in sweat all of a sudden, feeling that this was a huge pit, and maybe all the credit he had now would be wiped out.
Dean Bagri didn't care about Dr. Kalama's psychological activities, but hurried to report the news.
When he arrived at the door of the ward, he patted his face, showing a worried and sad look, then knocked on the door and walked in.
The eyes of everyone in the room suddenly focused on the diagnosis certificate in the hands of the hospital director. Even though Bagri was used to seeing the world, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
You must know that once this diagnosis is announced, it will greatly affect the political situation in Sierra Leone. If this is not good, it may force another tribe to rebel.
Mbeki represents not only himself, but also the tribe behind him, a powerful tribe.
Where did the Eighteenth Route Rebels in China come from? Most of them are composed of large, restless tribes. They have money and territory, so it is very difficult to eradicate them.
When Mrs. Mbeki saw Bagri coming in, she immediately stood up and asked nervously:
"Dean Bagri, what are the CT results?"
"Your Excellency, Vice President L, madam, the results of this, this, have come out. CT shows dilation of the common bile duct and obstruction of the lower segment, indicating a high possibility of cholangiocarcinoma."
Mbeki's hands instantly grasped the bed sheets, and the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared.
"Oh God~~~"
Mrs. Mbeki burst into tears: "What should we do now? It can still be treated, right?"
Bagri nodded: "It should be possible to treat it through surgery. Although the success rate of this operation is...well...relatively low, there is no better way than this. Taking medicine is ineffective."
Mrs. Mbeki shouted excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for? Surgery right away."
The secretary was a little strange after hearing this, and asked one more question: "Dean Bagley, what did Dr. Chen from China say?"
"Dr. Chen has a different opinion. He still believes that inflammation is more likely, but based on the results of our treatment team's joint research, he believes that cancer is more likely. Both clinical symptoms and B-ultrasound and CT are supportive."
The room suddenly became quiet, and obviously everyone in the room had their own thoughts.
Vice President Mbeki is still confused and his mind is blank.
Mrs. Mbeki is thinking more about how to ensure the integrity of the family wealth and the safety of family members if her husband is about to die.
What the secretary was thinking about was how to form evidence of some of the corruption Mbeki had done over the years and hand it over to his political opponents to make a declaration of surrender, so as to avoid being tainted.
What Bagri is thinking about is how to perform this operation?
At this time, Mbeki suddenly said in a hoarse voice: "If we do surgery, what is the success rate? Who will perform the surgery?"
Bagry was a little hesitant and finally had to answer:
"I have looked up some information and found that even in hospitals in European and American countries, the success rate of surgery is less than 20%; with doctors from China, the success rate of surgery can be increased to 30%. If you want to operate, you must do it as soon as possible, because
Biliary tract cancer is very dangerous, and the countdown is counted in days."
The fastest death time from cholangiocarcinoma is less than one month, and the longest time is rarely more than 1 year.
The sooner the surgery is performed, the more hope there is. When the cancer area has become adhesions, the chance of surgery will be completely lost.
】
When Mbeki heard that the success rate was so low, and even if he was cured, the survival rate would not be very high, he couldn't help but feel discouraged.
But the reason why heroes are called heroes is that they always believe in miracles. They are the invincible little strong ones who dare to give it a try at critical moments.
After all, there is still hope for surgery, but not having surgery is a dead end.
"Dean Bagri, please arrange surgery for me as soon as possible. If possible, help me contact famous experts in Europe and the United States and tell them that someone is willing to offer a reward of 1 million US dollars, but the premise is that the surgery must be successful to cure the disease.
In addition, it must be kept strictly confidential and never reveal the fact that I have cancer."
At the critical moment, Mbeki is still willing to believe in the capabilities of European and American doctors.
One million U.S. dollars is not a big sum for Mbeki. After all, he has been greedy for so many years, his family still owns mines, and he still has assets of hundreds of millions of dollars.
But even if you have money, offering a reward of US$1 million to perform an operation is definitely considered a big deal, and it is rare in the world.
Chen Qi, a director of the International Medical Association, has a top-notch surgery fee, but it is only US$50,000.
When Mrs. Mbeki heard this, she knew that this was not the time to worry about money, so she diagnosed her as quickly as possible:
