For three years of marriage, Wen Liang failed to warm Fu Zheng's heart. When his first love returned, all she received was a divorce paper.
"If I had our child, would you still choose...
Chapter 757 Tell Yan Huai
Lu Yao agreed, "Go to the hospital?"
"No need," Wen Liang thought of someone, "I have Dean Lin's number, I can call him and ask."
If she remembered correctly, it was Dean Lin who was in charge of Mr. Fu's liver failure and liver transplant. He should be very familiar with this condition.
"Then hit me quickly."
Wen Liang glanced at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon in Philadelphia, which meant two o'clock in the morning in Beijing. Dean Lin was probably sleeping soundly in bed at this time.
However, time waits for no one, so Wen Liang dialed Dean Lin's number.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. Dean Lin's voice came through, clearly heavy with sleep and a hint of displeasure at being interrupted: "...Hello? Who is this?"
"President Lin, I'm so sorry to bother you so late!" Wen Liang spoke immediately, his voice full of apology. "I'm Wen Liang, and I have something very important to ask you."
The rustling sound from Dean Lin's side paused for a moment, and the sleepiness in his voice faded a little. "Wenliang? What's the matter? Tell me."
Wen Liang turned on the speakerphone and quickly but carefully organized his words: "Dean Lin, the truth is, I'm currently in Philadelphia, Country M. The wife of a very influential local businessman is currently receiving treatment in a private nursing home and has been diagnosed with end-stage liver failure."
"I visited her today and found out she was taking rifaximin and lactitol. However, shortly after taking the medication, she suddenly developed a severe coughing up of blood. Her condition was extremely critical and she needed emergency treatment. I then asked her family, and they said she'd been experiencing this recently, and it wasn't the first time she'd been bleeding, and the medication was difficult to control. Dean Lin, is this correct?"
Wen Liang recalled the situation and relayed it to Dean Lin one by one.
Dean Lin considered for a moment and asked, "Are you sure she's suffering from liver failure?"
"Yes, her family is already looking for a liver source and matching it."
"Vomiting blood in the end stage of liver failure is usually caused by portal hypertension and esophageal variceal bleeding, also known as EGVB. This is a very dangerous complication with a very high recurrence rate."
Hearing this, Wen Liang and Lu Yao looked at each other, thinking they were overthinking it.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Lin continued, "Especially after the first EGVB, without effective treatment intervention, rebleeding is inevitable. The recurrence rate within one year is 60%. Even after receiving standard treatment, the bleeding rate within one to two years is 10 to 20%."
Wen Liang: “…”
Dean Lin: "You just said that the patient was taking rifaximin and lactitol. These two drugs have limited effect on lowering portal hypertension. Failure to lower the pressure could also be due to incomplete hemostasis the first time, or a lack of secondary prevention measures, which can lead to recurrence of EGVB. However, logically speaking, the patient's family is not short of money, and the doctor they hired should be no ordinary person. After the first bleeding, they should have been able to completely control it. It is impossible for them to make the low-level mistakes I mentioned. This is unreasonable."
"So you also think there's something wrong with the patient's treatment?"
"Based solely on the information you provided, this is what I'm saying. As you mentioned, your bleeding tendency has recently worsened. Even a single episode of uncontrolled bleeding could be fatal. This might happen in a regular hospital, but it's completely unacceptable under top-tier medical conditions. I strongly suggest requesting the hospital provide complete medication records and treatment reports, and inviting a completely independent, third-party authority for an urgent consultation."
"Okay, thank you Dean Lin for your answer. I understand and I will tell them." Wen Liang's voice was filled with genuine gratitude.
With Dean Lin's words, she had a reason to convince Yan Huai.
"You're welcome. Take action as soon as possible to protect the patient!" Director Lin urged. "Keep in touch. If there's any professional advice I can provide, please let me know."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yao couldn't wait to ask, "There's definitely something wrong with Dean Coleman. Do you plan to tell them now, or wait until Xin Feng has the results?"
Wen Liang paused, "Say it now."
Time waits for no one. The sooner we speak up, the sooner we can have a third-party consultation to avoid delaying Xie Shu's condition.
As soon as the voice fell, Wen Liang called Yan Huai, "Where are you now?"
Yan Huai: "Just arrived at the company, what's up?"
"Okay, I'll come find you at the company."
"What's up?"
"It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk about it in person."
Yan Huai: "..."
Half an hour later, Wen Liang and Lu Yao sat on the sofa in the Wilson Group's reception room.
A few minutes later, Yan Huai pushed the door open and walked towards the sofa opposite Wen Liang, asking, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Wen Liang said directly, "I suggest that you immediately find another hospital to conduct a third-party consultation for Madam Xie."
Yan Huai was startled, "Why?"
Wen Liang then told him about Emma's experience, and emphasized that "...Emma, Jamie, Mrs. Xie, and Mason have the same blood type."
"So you suspect that mother was also the subject of human experimentation?" Yan Huai didn't quite believe it. "But, mother's health has been under the care of Dean Coleman for more than ten years. Before, mother's condition was particularly critical. If it weren't for Dean Coleman, mother would probably be gone."
Wen Liang: "Maybe he caused it, in order to gain your trust, or he exaggerated the illness."
"My father said that Coleman wasn't considered a top doctor in the liver disease field back then, but he was hired anyway because he came from a humble background, was honest, had a pure heart, and was passionate about medicine. Over the years, my father and Dean Coleman had become friends, and he was paid well, so there was no reason for him to do this."
"That's not the case. As a human being, we all have weaknesses or handles. What if KL seizes his weakness and threatens him?"
Lu Yao: "Why are you saying so much? Just play the recording!"
Yan Huai was just curious about what the recording was when he saw Wen Liang take out his cell phone, tap a few times on the screen, and a recording began to play.
It was a recording of a phone call between Wen Liang and Dean Lin.
As the recording played, Yan Huai's expression became visibly solemn.
Dean Coleman had been in charge of his mother's health for so long that he and his father had never doubted him and believed what he said about his mother's condition.
"...President Lin is the director of Dexing Hospital and a professor of medicine specializing in liver disease. As an outsider, his words are absolutely trustworthy." Wen Liang added after the recording ended, "Besides, a third-party consultation has only advantages, not disadvantages. If Madam Xie is truly seriously ill, the consulting doctor might be able to come up with a better treatment plan. If she ends up in surgery, it's too late."
Wen Liang had long suspected that Emma did not have liver cancer. The liver she underwent resection surgery was healthy and was transplanted to a sick senior executive of the KL Group.
Yan Huai nodded seriously, "I'll arrange for a doctor to re-examine my mother."
