Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

   Chapter 497

   "Ms. Song, do you want to use MRI? Does our hospital have an MRI machine?" Guo Xiang said.

  Last time I learned from Teacher Yang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences that the Cancer Hospital had the only MRI machine in the country, which was imported at a cost of 1.5 million U.S. dollars.

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

  Guo Xiang nodded, that's true. I thought it would be cheap in this era, but the MRI machine is so expensive, close to the price of later generations, and the cost should not be cheap.

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

   "About three hundred yuan, even more expensive if it is the head." Song Tingshen said.

  In this era, the salary was only more than 100 in one month, and the salary was gone for three months after doing it once.

  If it is Lin Yingguo who is fine, he can be reimbursed for medical expenses as a public official, but Lin Jingan is still a student, and now there is no medical insurance or the like, so he has to pay for the expenses entirely.

  Although Lin Yingguo is a county magistrate, his salary at this time is low and money can be counted. If there is no gray income, his lifetime savings may be only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

  It takes almost all savings to see a disease.

  The main reason is that this disease may not be seen well.

  A liver cancer in later generations will also cost about 20,000 to 300,000 yuan, and ordinary families do not say that it can be taken out casually.

  Therefore, as the saying goes, there is something special about sickness, sickness, especially serious sickness, no matter in which era ordinary people can't afford it.

   "Then still use CT enhancement? Then we need to create a shadow agent..." Guo Xiang said, but the cost is much cheaper.

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

"Uncle Lin, this MRI is a kind of examination instrument fee, which can clearly show the internal structure of liver tumors and the relationship with the blood vessels in the liver, 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 CT enhancement is required. To create a contrast agent, the same purpose can be achieved, and the cost is cheaper.”

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

  "Do you think it is necessary?" Lin Yingguo asked.

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

  If some patients have a CT examination beforehand, the doctor sometimes recommends the patient to have another MRI.

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

   "Do you still use CT?" Guo Xiang asked Song Tingshen.

  He nodded, "Yes."

  Lin Yingguo also nodded. They didn't understand this at all. Of course, it was what the doctor said, and they knew Guo Xiang well, knowing that she would not cheat herself.

Song Tingshen ordered Lin Jingan to be hospitalized and arranged various examinations.

   "Doctor Song, can my son's disease be cured?" Mother Lin asked the question she 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 physical problems, donate a portion of the liver for transplantation. Your son."

   "Can this be done? Then I am willing!" Lin Mu said immediately.

   "However, our operation has never been used clinically. I don't know if it will be successful, and I don't know if this operation can be approved." Song Tingshen said.

  This is to be clarified, and the patient’s family should not be blindly hopeful.

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

   "Yes, so after the examination now, we can only temporarily treat conservatively, with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, to extend the life of the patient as much as possible." Song Tingshen said helplessly, "Now the advanced stage of liver cancer is incurable, and we can't help it."

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

   "Yes!" Song Tingshen nodded, "I can't even guarantee that I can get this operation, because it has been in the experimental stage before and has not been done for anyone."

   "But animal experiments have been successful." Guo Xiang interjected, and she came from later generations, knowing that this operation will be very common in the future, and it is very hopeful that it will be successful.

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

   "Okay, I will convey your wishes. I have to wait for the notice. During this time, I will treat it conservatively." Song Tingshen said.

   "Then Dr. Song, you bothered." Lin Yingguo shook Song Tingshen's hand.

  Song Tingshen arranged for Lin Jingan to stay in the ward.

  Guo Xiang asked Lin Jing’an’s parents, “How will the uncle and aunt make arrangements in the future?”

  Should be left to take care of Lin Jingan, right? Zhang Ling will not always take care of it, right?

"I will stay. Jing'an's dad has taken a week off, and he has to go back to work. It is impossible for both of us to be here. There is a young son at home, and Jingan's dad's work is not easy to leave. , There are still people at home making money." Mother Lin said, her expression a little sad.

   "Understand!" Guo Xiang nodded, "Then you don't want to live in a hotel, just rent a room, it is cheaper to rent, and it will be more convenient to bring food to Lin Jingan in the future."

   "I think so too." Mother Lin nodded.

   "Auntie, let me take you to find a house." Zhang Ling said. After all, he has stayed in Beijing for two years, and he is still familiar with this side.

   "Thank you!" Mother Lin was very grateful.

  Guo Xiang didn’t say anything, she wouldn’t let them go to live in her own house so virginly. Once there were Gu Zhennan and his grandfather at home, they might not like strangers living at home.

  Secondly, they are not relatives, it is not bad to be able to help here, and they don't want to cause more trouble for themselves.

  Furthermore, renting a house is not expensive now, and most of the doctors have gone, so the money is nothing.

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

  Thinking about this, Guo Xiang decided to ask Song Tingshen, it would be great if the surgery fee could be reduced.

  Guo Xiang called Zhang Ling out, "Don’t you need to go to class? There is Lin Jingan’s mother here, don’t worry about it in the future, and you..."

  Guo Xiang looked at her belly and said in a low voice, “Be considerate of the child in your belly.”

   "I know." Zhang Ling nodded, "I took a few days off, and I have to go back to class. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will pay attention."

   "Then I won't come here in the afternoon. I only took a half-day off. I will go to Teacher Song later and talk about it. You don't have to worry about things here." Guo Xiang said.

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