Soon they arrived at the third patient's door, and the heated discussion about Chen Aijun came to an abrupt end.
"This third patient has progeria," Professor Wu said with deep emotion. "I believe everyone knows this disease. The incidence is very low, with only a few dozen cases worldwide, but there's no cure!"
"This type of patient will not live past the age of thirteen due to premature aging. The one we admitted to our hospital is only seven years old this year!"
The patient's parents had been waiting at the door of the ward. Since the child was born, they knew the outcome of their child and that the disease was incurable. However, they still persevered and took the child to many places, always hoping for a miracle to happen.
Seeing a group of doctors coming into the corridor, the patient's father quickly opened the door of the ward and invited the doctors in.
Sitting on the hospital bed was a little old man, only about 1.1 meters tall, but his face was extremely weathered, and he looked like a man in his 50s or 60s.
"This is the patient," Principal Wu asked the patient's mother with a smile, "Did the child eat well today?"
The patient's mother quickly introduced the patient's diet and daily life to everyone.
After listening, Su Nian nodded and motioned for the patient's mother to roll up the patient's sleeves. "I want to examine him!"
The patient's mother coaxed her child to do as she was told, and looked at Su Nian hesitantly. She and her husband had visited countless famous doctors, but those famous doctors were helpless against the child's condition. Could this little girl-like female doctor in front of them really have a solution?
Su Nian did not look at the expressions of the patient's family, but concentrated on taking the patient's pulse. At this time, the entire ward was silent. The patient's family was nervous and expectant, while the doctors hoped that Su Nian could create a miracle.
You know, there is no precedent for curing progeria in the world!
This time, Su Nian took a long time to put her hand down. She looked at the patient's parents and asked, "Does he have any brothers or sisters?"
The child's mother was stunned, confused as to how this related to the illness. The father was quicker to react and quickly replied, "Yes, the child has a four-year-old sister!"
It turned out that although this couple did not give up on the treatment of their son with progeria, they also knew that it would be a waste of effort, so they gave birth to a healthy daughter.
"His treatment requires the assistance of his sister. You should bring your little daughter over. I will start treating them the same time as she does!" Su Nian stood up and was about to leave.
The child's mother suddenly rushed to her and said, "Doctor Han, you want my little daughter to come here. Are you asking her to prolong her brother's life?"
"Extend life?" Su Nian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How could that be? Your daughter is also a life. Don't worry, she only needs to provide a little blood for her brother. It will definitely not affect her health!"
So that's how it is. The child's parents breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, with expressions of relief on their faces.
Everyone left the ward together. Seeing that the patient's family had already returned to the ward, Principal Wu quickly grabbed Su Nian and asked her nervously, "Are you sure you can really cure progeria?"
Su Nian smiled and nodded: "I've thought about it carefully. According to my treatment method, the possibility of recovery is still more than 80%!"
Eighty percent. Being able to reach this percentage shows that the treatment method Su Nian is going to adopt is very mature.
However, the treatment of progeria is a global problem. Can Su Nian really do it?
