Since 1981 Health School

In a luxurious manor in Mexico, a little girl named Gabrielle was basking in the sun under the service of a group of servants and nurses.

The place next to it is filled with cakes and milk made from the best ingredients, fruits arranged like an orchard, and luxury toys that many people cannot afford in their lifetime.

This is a cute little girl with blond hair, a round face, and big eyes. Gabriel's name means "angel" or "the sound one of God" in Spanish.

If you look at the upper body, this little girl does look like an angel, but when you look at the lower body, you can't help but cover your mouth and dare not make a sound.

Because the little girl's lower limbs are closely connected together, the abdomen below the waist, legs and heels are all tightly connected together, and the two little feet are spread out in a "V" shape.

She looks very much like the mermaid in fairy tales.

When this little girl turns over, she will flick her "tail" casually, and the fluttering look is weird no matter how you look at it.

But such a deformed child is the heart and soul of his father Carlos, and he is extremely precious.

Carlos is one of the super invisible rich people in Mexico. His family has opened many companies, and his business has even spread all over the world. He also has many industries in the United States.

But what no one knows is that Carlos is actually a leader of Mexico's dark underground organization, and his real business is selling white noodles.

The company has opened all over the world, which is also convenient for him to use the business transfer on the surface as a cover.

He is such a heroic figure, but he has an unspeakable secret.

Perhaps he had done many bad things in his life, so their God sent him punishment.

After he gave birth to this freak daughter, the tadpole suddenly disappeared, which meant that he could never have another child in his life.

It also means that no one will be able to take over Carlos' huge assets of tens of billions of dollars and the huge industry in his hands.

So this deformed daughter became Carlos's only heir and the last hope for the continuation of the bloodline.

So even though his daughter gave birth to a fish tail, Carlos doted on her very much, gave his daughter the best material life, and hired the best medical team and nanny.

At the same time, Carlos took his daughter to hospitals in Europe and the United States, the most medically advanced countries in the world, and spent a lot of money trying to cure his daughter's deformity.

For rich people, there is nothing in the world that cannot be solved with money. If it cannot be solved, then the money is not in place.

Unfortunately, the result Carlos finally got made him feel cold and even a little scared.

Because every doctor told him that Mermaid Syndrome is an extremely rare congenital lower limb malformation disease, with only 1 case in every 60,000 to 100,000 people. Basically, newborns with the disease can only survive after birth. a couple of hours.

His daughter, Miss Gabrielle, is the only survivor of Mermaid Syndrome who has lived to be 5 years old.

At the same time, the doctor also told Carlos that because his daughter's body structure is special, even a small pneumonia may kill her.

So either we need to find a way to operate as soon as possible, or we can only take care of it carefully and raise it like a flower in the greenhouse.

This result obviously did not satisfy the rich man and big D, Carlos Carlos, so he immediately started to use his copying skills and spent a lot of money, hoping that the top doctors would help his daughter to operate.

Doctors in Europe and the United States are not fools. Of course money is a good thing, but life is more important.

For patients with Mermaid Syndrome, so far (1991), there has been no successful operation in the world. In the several operations tested, all the children died on the operating table without exception.

If the daughter of a commoner died, the most they could do was say a few words of condolences.

But the big boss in front of him is the famous Carlos Hathcock, a super rich man with a private airport at home, and one of the world's largest gangsters. He has thousands, if not tens, of thousands of lives on his hands.

If his only precious daughter was killed, would the doctor and his family still have a chance to survive?

Top experts have a wide network of contacts. It is not difficult to investigate Carlos' background. No one wants to exchange it with God for the so-called huge bounty.

Of course, it is okay to bully a Chinese doctor who has no background and no connections.

Gabrielleth, the editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery, was not a good person. He handed over such a difficult patient to Chen Qi, and his introduction was credited for the cure. However, the failure of the cure was due to the poor quality of Chinese doctors.

Carlos received a call from Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth at his manor:

"What? Mr. Gabrielleth, are you kidding me? Do you recommend that I go to China to perform surgery on my daughter?"

In the eyes of this boss, isn’t China as poor and backward as Haiti?

"Yes, sir, I'm not joking. The doctor I recommended is very amazing. He is a director of two major medical societies, WGO and ISAPS. He also presided over the establishment of a very important genetic laboratory and has overcome many cases of rare diseases. .

Even Mr. Rupert, the owner of FOX Film and Television Company in the United States, made a special trip to China for treatment and underwent surgery by Dr. Chen. Therefore, under the premise that European and American doctors currently do not dare to operate, this Chinese Dr. Chen is your daughter’s only hope. . "

(Chen Qi: Thank you for helping me lure the wolf into my house.)

"Rupert from FOX also went to China to find him for surgery?" Carlos became interested now.

Although Carlos should surpass the American media tycoon in terms of personal wealth, Rupert is taking the "white path".

Moreover, Rupert is a Jew, belongs to the upper echelon of the United States, and is very influential internationally, far beyond what he, the Mexican emperor, can compare with.

The American tycoons all trusted Dr. Chen from China, which gave Carlos a little more confidence. Moreover, this was indeed his only chance.

"OK, Editor-in-Chief Gabrielleth, you have convinced me. If you contact me over there, I can take my daughter there at any time."

In fact, this is an exaggeration. You are not a member of the International Organization Society. You are not exempt from visa exemption. You cannot get a visa from China without a half-month waiting period.

"Okay, Mr. Carlos, we at the New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery will also accompany you to China."

At the same time, in the respiratory medicine ward of Cincinnati Children's Medical Center in the United States.

Dr. Oswald wears a stethoscope and examines a young patient on the bed.

While Dr. Oswide carefully auscultated the lung sounds and assessed the progression of the disease, he couldn't help but look at the twins on the bed with wonder.

This is a pair of conjoined twins.

The two 4-month-old babies are connected together at the abdomen, so they are always facing each other and cannot be separated for a moment.

But they are only conjoined at the abdomen, and the other limbs and heads are separated, so theoretically they should be regarded as two complete individuals.

In this world, about one case of conjoined twins occurs in every 100,000 pregnancies. Most conjoined fetuses die during the embryonic stage, and the success rate of delivery is only one in 200,000.

So the birth rate of conjoined twins is about 1:40,000, but the ratio of live births is only 1:100,000 to 200,000,

One of the rarer ones is the two-headed conjoined man, whose heads are glued together and nothing else is separated.

70% of conjoined twins are girls because male twins are more likely to miscarry.

Similarly, the proportion of conjoined people who can live and grow up safely but die of a normal life is very small.

The longest-lived conjoined people in the world are the Galjan brothers from the United States. They are 63 years old this year. They lived for 62 years and 8 months.

The Galyan brothers have 4 arms, 4 legs, and their own hearts and stomachs, but they share a digestive tract, a large intestine, and a vagina.

According to records, in 1908, a pair of Siamese sisters connected at the hips were born in Eagle Country. Not only did they become famous "little stars", they also lived together for 61 years.

But the lives of these conjoined sisters are tragic and legendary.

After the two were born, they were sold by their mother because they were freaks. The person who bought them treated the sisters as monsters and put them on display and collected tickets to make money. They suffered a lot of hardships and humiliation.

This is the tragedy of the Siamese people. In fact, they are monsters in people's eyes.

Why is it said that conjoined people have a short life span? It’s actually very simple, let’s not talk about genes, genetic diseases, basic diseases, etc.

Siamese people are originally two complete people, but they are connected together because of nature. If one of them becomes ill at this time, or more serious, or terminally ill, what will happen to the other one?

But people are always subject to birth, old age, illness and death, and because conjoined children often have underdeveloped organs and low immunity, they are more likely to get sick.

If one of the conjoined children dies due to ineffective treatment, the other half of the conjoined children will also die, and they cannot be separated in a cabin like a rocket launch.

For example, the pair of conjoined sisters from Eagle Country who lived to be 61 years old were mentioned earlier.

First, my younger sister died of illness. My older sister was healthy at the time.

But the elder sister also looked away. After the death of the conjoined sister, the elder sister did not notify anyone or call an ambulance. Instead, she guarded her sister's body alone for several days, and finally passed away.

This is the biggest health risk for conjoined people.

Now Dr. Auschwitz is facing such a situation.

One of the conjoined twins had pneumonia, had a high fever and worsened cough, which made doctors and parents very nervous.

Because the blood of the two people is exchanged, if there are bacteria in the blood of one of the babies, the other baby will soon be infected, causing pneumonia or other inflammations.

If one of them fails, the fragile conjoined twins may die directly.

Even if only one dies, the outcome is still the same, because the two babies cannot be separated.

So when one of the conjoined twins started to have a fever, their parents rushed to the hospital and arranged for admission as soon as possible.

Of course, it costs a lot of money, because the Cincinnati Children's Medical Center where they stay is one of the top children's hospitals in the United States, and the fees are also top-notch.

Fortunately, the father of the children, Jamie, is an executive at Microsoft and has a generous income that can support the medical expenses of the conjoined twins.

"Doctor, how is my child doing?"

Dr. Auschwitz put away his stethoscope and smiled with relief:

"The difficulty this time has been passed. The two little guys are currently recovering well. It is expected that they will be discharged from the hospital in two days of observation."

Jamie and his wife were greatly relieved after hearing this, and kept thanking God and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Dr. Auschwitz opened his mouth, but decided to tell the truth:

"But sir, I think if possible, we should perform separation surgery on these conjoined twins as soon as possible, while they are still young and ignorant. The advantage of this is that they will have no relevant memories in the future and can face life better.

At the same time, there is no need to worry that if one of them gets sick, the other will suffer accordingly. More importantly, even if they grow up, if they are still conjoined like this, it may be difficult for them to integrate into society. "

The conjoined people who can be found in newspapers and on the Internet seem to live happily and are loved by the people around them.

In fact, it is not that simple. In the eyes of ordinary people, conjoined people are monsters and the product of the devil. It is fine to be looked at with strange and disgusting eyes when walking on the road, and they may even be thrown vegetables and insulted. .

Therefore, even if the conjoined people survive tenaciously, they cannot live or work normally, or even fall in love, get married and have children normally, and there are not a few who commit suicide.

Jamie understood the doctor's advice, but was a little embarrassed after hearing it, and asked in confusion:

"Dr. Oswide, didn't you tell us before that the separation technology of conjoined twins is not yet mature? You also told us that there is no precedent for successful separation surgery in the world, and the risks are huge and we are not advised to operate."

Dr. Auschwitz chuckled:

"Now there is an opportunity. The New England Journal of Medicine and Surgery is cooperating with a famous doctor in China to carry out detection, research and surgical treatment of gene-related diseases, especially malformations. This may be a good opportunity."

"Doctor Huaguo?"

Jamie frowned a little after hearing this, thinking that you can do it even if you say he is a Chilean doctor. The doctor from China, whose name is Chen Qi, can he do it?

(If Chen Qi is present, tell him that you are one of his bosses, so be respectful.

Microsoft stock was listed in 1986. At that time, Chen Qi bought a large number of original shares. He continued to buy shares in the following years and never sold them.

Although it was diluted several times in the middle, Chen Qi bought it when he had money and continued to increase his holdings, and the shareholding ratio has been maintained at 4.9%.

This shareholding ratio is already the largest shareholder, but the information disclosed is the name of an offshore company, and the word Chen Qi does not appear. There is no need to disclose more information, and the risk is minimized.

As long as Chen Qi maintains this ratio, even if it is slightly diluted, when Microsoft's market value reaches 3 trillion, he will become the richest man in China with this stock alone, and then happily live in exile in Japan...) (End of Chapter)
