Lan Guoer briefly recounted how she met Frank and his sister, and then listened to the brother and sister talk about their experience of meeting and getting to know Zhang Shishi in Country F.
Each of them also had a general understanding of the relationship between them.
"Guo'er, it's great that you are a miracle doctor!
If we had known that you were the Chinese miracle doctor we were looking for, why would we have gone through so much trouble? "
When Erica learned the truth, she was so excited that tears came out and she held Lan Guoer's hand tightly.
Lan Guoer knew the purpose of the two siblings coming to China, and did not beat around the bush with them.
"Tell me, what's the patient's condition? Has the hospital made a diagnosis?" She went straight to the point.
"The patient is my father, he is sixty years old."
Frank Wayne replied,
"Two years ago, my father first felt weakness and numbness in his fingers and upper limbs.
After the family doctor examined the child, he found nothing wrong, so the father did not take it seriously.
However, the symptoms gradually spread from the arms to the shoulders and then to the lower limbs, and now have reached the point where the limbs are atrophied and the patient is unable to take care of himself.
During this period, our family took my father to hospitals in many countries, but we were unable to find a cure. Many doctors had never even seen this disease.
This is what my father is like!"
After Frank finished speaking, he looked at Lan Guoer with burning eyes, expecting her to come up with a solution.
Lan Guoer frowned. She had roughly heard of old Frank's condition from the muscle weakness and limb atrophy.
This symptom is indeed rare in this era. Of course, it is also possible that information is not well developed and it is rarely known to the public.
But it was defined in later generations and named "amyotrophic lateral sclerosis" because of its clinical symptoms. It is a devastating motor neuron disease.
Of course, it is also a very difficult disease!
Even in her previous life, there was no way to completely cure the disease, and she could only rely on medication to delay the progression of the disease.
Then I thought about what I heard from the three of them at the roast duck restaurant that day. They said that the miracle doctor they were looking for had passed away ten years ago.
She couldn't help but feel curious. Is there really a Chinese medicine that can cure ALS?
"Then how did you come up with the idea of seeking Chinese medicine?" she asked.
"At the end of last year, I had the honor of meeting an elderly Chinese friend," Frank replied.
"It was he who told me about the long-standing, profound, and mysterious Chinese medicine.
He is very proud of it!
He said that Chinese traditional medicine has a history of thousands of years and contains the ancient and magical essence of medicine. He suggested that we could try to treat my father with Chinese medicine methods, and also recommended a Chinese doctor he remembered to us.
Seeing that his father's condition was getting worse, after family discussion, they finally decided to adopt his suggestion.
That’s why the three of us are here.”
At this point, Frank's expression showed a hint of disappointment.
"However, when we got here, we found out that the old miracle doctor recommended by our Chinese friend had passed away ten years ago..."
Erica took over the conversation and continued, "Thanks to my brother for not giving up and asking Richard to make many inquiries, he finally found you!"
Hearing that they came here just because of its reputation, Lan Guoer shook her head in her heart.
She thought, what's the point of finding her? She can't do anything about this disease!
But looking at Erica's expectant look, she finally couldn't bear to say it out loud.
She really couldn't cure this disease, but the scar-removing liquid and medicinal wine in her hand were both good medicines for repairing nerves.
Although no clinical trials have been conducted on the specific disease of ALS, past experience suggests that it is likely to be cured.
However, these two potions were too extraordinary, even if they appeared in the future, they would be quite explosive! Moreover, they were to be used on foreigners, so Lan Guoer had to consider it carefully.
Perhaps seeing her embarrassment, Frank said,
"Doctor Lan, please save our father. As long as you can cure him, our Frank family will be grateful to you.
You don't have to worry about the cost. Father has already announced that he will reward anyone who can cure him with $10 million."
"How much did he say?!"
Since entering the door, Zhang Shishi has been sitting next to Su Xing and has been translating for him attentively.
Hearing this, he exploded before Lan Guoer could even say anything!
He stared at Frank across from him, unable to believe his ears.
Ten million!
China's total foreign exchange reserves are only $200 million right now! Just for a medical consultation, and he got 10 million? And in US dollars?!
No wonder they say that comparison kills!
Is this even worth living? He'd need hundreds of lifetimes to catch up with my little sister's speed in making money!
Zhang Shishi translated his question, and Frank stretched out a finger and repeated the number again.
Su Xing stood up this time!
Ten million! Xiao Guoer is rich, and his brother is happy too!
He looked at Lan Guoer, his eyes full of encouragement, "Guoer, with your medical skills, you can definitely cure old Frank, right?"
Although Lan Guoer was not short of money, the figure of 10 million US dollars in the 1970s really shocked her?
At the same time, I also gained a better understanding of the Frank family!
Being able to easily offer 10 million US dollars as a reward, the true strength of the Frank family... should not be underestimated!
"I have a general idea of Mr. Frank's symptoms, but since I haven't seen him in person, I can't say for sure."
Lan Guoer neither agreed nor refused.
"However, based on my assessment of the condition you just described, I can prepare a prescription for Mr. Frank to take. If he shows improvement, we can discuss further treatment. What do you think?"
Lan Guoer knew very well that with her current status, it would be inconvenient for her to go abroad without approval from above!
Although the scar-removing liquid had the highest chance of healing, it was too incredible! She couldn't possibly give this "miracle" medicine to anyone other than herself and her trusted family.
The safest way is to use health pills, and then add small doses to white wine or red wine.
Even if someone discovers the clues and studies them, it is difficult to find out the effective ingredients.
Hearing that Lan Guoer was willing to prepare medicine for them, Frank Wayne and Erica could no longer contain their excitement! The brother and sister looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.
They had followed old Frank before and had seen doctors almost all over the world, but no one could even find the cause of the disease, let alone come up with a specific treatment method.
