Hello 1983

  Chapter 878 The whole city of Los Angeles is boiling

  The cocktail therapy invented by Dr. He, besides the large side effects, also has a very real problem: the cost of those preparations is relatively high.

   Moreover, it needs to be used repeatedly on a regular basis, and the side effects must be treated, so the overall cost is indeed relatively high.

   For a rich person like a magician, of course, it is no problem, a drop in the bucket, but for ordinary patients, the price is still a bit unbearable.

   And Little Six's proposal was actually exactly what he had in mind.

  Because Dr. He is also eager to verify whether the use of traditional Chinese medicine can control the virus.

  It would be great if it worked, and the cost of treatment is so low that even a homeless person on the street can afford it.

   This undoubtedly pointed out another bright road to Dr. He's research center.

   Excited, Dr. He immediately invited the dumb grandfather and the others to the Alan Diamond AIDS Research Center, a research institute in Los Angeles.

  Although the headquarters of this research center is in the Big Apple City, it has branches in some major cities.

  As for Mr. Ali leaving, he was also a little dissatisfied, mainly for the magician. He kindly introduced him, and even invited the dumb grandpa all the way, and then you quit. Mr. Ali was a little uncomfortable with it.

   And MJ likes to join in the fun, followed Liu Qingshan and the others to have a look, wondering if we should organize a fundraising or something?

   Several cars left the villa and drove for more than an hour before arriving in front of several buildings located in the suburbs.

   Such places are of course free for idlers, and the control here is relatively strict, because there are all AIDS patients.

   But with Dr. He leading the way, of course there is no problem.

   After getting out of the car, all the people who were going to enter the ward went to the disinfection room and walked around before they were able to enter the building.

  During the period, Dr. He also told everyone about the basic common sense and requirements, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.

   There is no problem in normal contact with patients. The transmission route of AIDS is the most serious, followed by the route that everyone knows.

  When everyone came out, everyone put on a white coat, even Liu Qingshan and MJ were mixed together.

   Only Little Six is ​​an exception, there is no way, there is really no such a small one.

  Medical staff who came and went greeted Professor He with respect when they saw him.

   However, when they look at other people, they are a little curious. When they see MJ, their eyes can't help but light up.

  The director of this institute is a medical doctor named Smart, who accompanied everyone to the ward.

  Dr. Smart also introduced the basic situation here: "A total of 50 patients are currently receiving treatment, mainly because their institute is limited in scale and can only accept 50 patients."

   This is still the case, MJ couldn't help asking: "Like Los Angeles, how many patients are there in total?"

  Smart thought for a while: "The total number should be about 10,000. There is no clear statistics for this, because there are many virus carriers, and they don't know it themselves."

   Now even Liu Qingshan was a little surprised: "Isn't that very dangerous?"

   These are simply hidden bombs, and if they are not done well, they will trigger a chain reaction.

  Dr. Smart nodded: "Yes, especially those women in special industries, the danger is extremely high."

   "According to our statistical data, the infection rate is around one percent if no security measures are adopted."

  This ratio may not sound high, but it is not.

  Dr. He interjected at this time: "So we must strengthen publicity, focusing on prevention and control."

   After speaking, he glanced at MJ. The intention was obvious: I hope that these well-known celebrities can join the ranks of publicity.

  MJ didn't say anything for the time being, he still needs to observe.

  Because he needs to go through the research and planning of the team to do anything, and it cannot be decided casually.

   Everyone was walking and chatting in the corridor, and suddenly, they heard a hysterical roar: "I'm dead, tell me to die, die!"

   Then, a woman with disheveled hair stumbled out of a ward.

  She was wearing the hospital gown uniformly distributed to patients by the institute, and she didn't even wear shoes on her feet.

  Through the gap in the hair, what I saw was a pale face, a pair of eyes, empty, as if there was no soul at all.

  Two heavily armed nurses rushed up and held the woman up. It could be seen that her body was already skinny.

   At this time, a little girl about five or six years old also ran out, crying "Mom", and then rushed to the woman, hugged her thigh, and cried.

  The little girl is also wearing the same hospital gown as her mother, which is so dazzling.

   "Baby, poor baby!" The woman seemed to be awakened by her daughter's call. She slumped on the ground, hugged her daughter, and mother and daughter embraced and cried.

  Such a scene brought great shock to Liu Qingshan and his party.

  Little Six's smiling face also disappeared: "How can such a little sister get sick?"

  Dr. He touched Xiao Liuzi's head, and explained to her in a low voice:

  In the transmission route of AIDS, there is another kind called mother-to-child transmission, and such young patients usually do not live to be ten years old.

  Dr. Smart also added: "This Ms. Suzanne is an unwed mother. She was infected by her boyfriend and died of illness. In the past two years, she has relied on social charitable donations to maintain her condition."

   "Just these two months, the virus has been out of control, poor woman, poor child."

  Little Liuzi also started to shed tears in her small eyes. She never forgot what happened in the nursing home before she recognized her grandfather.

  She raised her head suddenly: "Grandpa, we must cure them!"

  The dumb grandpa gently stroked Xiao Liuzi's head with his big hand, and then nodded vigorously: the doctor is benevolent, and all patients, regardless of skin color, are the same in his eyes.

  Little Six had a smile on his face again, and ran forward: "Little sister, I'm here to help you!"

  Her English level is not bad, and she has no problem with everyday language.

  The little girl raised her head and stared blankly at Little Six. Her hair was dry and she was skinny, so her eyes looked particularly big.

   "You can call me Liu, or Miss Sister, this is for you." Little Liu took out a furry toy from the backpack behind him, and stuffed it into the opponent's arms.

  MJ looked familiar: Isn't this the Simba I gave you?

   MJ had no objection to the act of giving away the little six sons after changing hands. Instead, he looked at the two little girls with a look of relief, as if they were two little angels.

  Jackson's eyes were firm, as if he had already made a decision in his heart.

   And Liu Qingshan also walked in front of the female patient, he bent down and squatted down: "Ma'am, for the sake of the child, you must work hard to live."

   "Let me introduce, this is my master, a brilliant Chinese medicine practitioner. He helped boxing champion Mr. Ali get rid of Parkinson's troubles, and he also helped Mr. MJ solve the trouble caused by his skin color."

   "So you have to believe that my master will definitely help you mother and daughter out of the predicament."

  The woman's bewildered eyes gradually became more lively, and her eyes swept over Xiaoliuzi, dumb grandpa, MJ and others one by one, and finally met Liu Qingshan's eyes.

   Then he said in a hoarse voice: "I know you, you are that Mr. Mountain, I saw you on TV, save my poor Nisha, save her..."

  The woman began to sob silently again. She seemed to see a light in the darkness. She must seek the guidance of the light, hoping to change her daughter's fate.

   "Please rest assured, we will do our best." This is Liu Qingshan's promise.

   There is no need to talk about the responsibility of the doctor. If this kind of thing is successful, it will greatly promote the popularization and promotion of traditional Chinese medicine.

  Liu Qingshan felt that this might be a rare opportunity.

  So no matter how you look at it, Liu Qingshan must take responsibility for this matter.

  In a consulting room, the dumb grandfather sat at the table and began to check the pulse of the lady named Susanna.

  Others also looked at solemnly, while Dr. Smart was talking to Dr. He in a low voice.

  Dr. Smart knew little about Chinese medicine. He was a little puzzled. Why did the president, Dr. He, seek Chinese medicine to treat diseases? Can it work?

   And there are some problems involved. Traditional Chinese medicine is not allowed to be used now, which is very troublesome.

  Dr. He is of course clear, but fortunately their research center undertakes this project and has greater autonomy, regardless of the above requirements.

  He told Smart about the benefits of using traditional Chinese medicine: the price is low, and there are not too many side effects.

   "The key is, can it be effective?" Dr. Smart said worriedly.

   "So we need to conduct verification." Dr. He discussed with Smart and decided to find a group of volunteers in the research center for Chinese medicine treatment.

   To put it bluntly, people like Suzanne can’t afford it by themselves and rely entirely on social assistance.

   While they were discussing, the dumb grandpa finally checked the pulse of Susanna and her daughter Nisha.

  His expression was also serious, because these two patients were much heavier than that Mr. Magician.

  After thinking about it for a while, the dumb grandpa picked up a pen and wrote the prescription.

   "Why are there two prescriptions?" Smart couldn't understand.

  Liu Qingshan helped Master explain: "This one belongs to Ms. Suzanne, and the other one belongs to Little Nisha. Although the medicines used are roughly the same, there are still differences in compatibility and dosage."

   "This is the characteristic of our Chinese medicine. It varies from person to person. You should understand it as tailoring clothes."

  Smart shook his head. He really couldn't understand, so he could only deepen his understanding in his incomprehension.

   I still have to go to Chinatown to get the medicine according to the prescription, but there is no rush, there are other patients, just take a trip together.

  After Dr. He's mobilization, five more people voluntarily used traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, and they all signed relevant agreements.

   These five people have mild or severe illnesses, but they have one characteristic: they are poor.

  They can't afford the cost of cocktail therapy at all, so they might as well treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

  According to the different diseases, the dumb grandpa naturally has slightly different medications.

  Finally, the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown sent an apprentice who specializes in decoction to help. There were seven patients in total, and the decoction was quite troublesome.

  In this modern hospital, the pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine began to waft.

   "Mr., how long do you think it will take to see the effect?"

  Dr. He still pays more attention to this issue, after all, he also bears a great risk in this matter.

  The dumb grandpa gestured for a while, and the little six translated and said:

   "After ten days, the curative effect can be seen initially. After one month, the condition should be stable. For the rest of the time, you can take oral medicine to maintain the treatment."

   After finishing speaking, the dumb grandfather gestured again: "Actually, there is another way. Your cocktail therapy can relieve the side effects through traditional Chinese medicine."

   Well, let’s wait a bit.

  Dr. He has no idea. If the condition of the seven patients taking traditional Chinese medicine is stable after a month, then he will consider the next thing.

  Liu Qingshan also stated: "I will bear the expenses of these patients during the treatment."

   Originally, there was not much money, so Dr. He agreed.

   "And me!" MJ finally said, "I decided to call on the stars of the entertainment industry to organize and set up a foundation to raise money for the treatment of AIDS patients."

  With his influence, he is the most suitable for this matter. It is estimated that by then, there will be a lot of responses.

   "Wow, Uncle Hei, I like you so much!"

  Little Six jumped over, threw himself into MJ's arms, kissed him on the cheek, and then ran to play with little Nisha.

  Liu Qingshan also patted MJ on the shoulder: "You are my idol."

   "No, your master and Liu are my idols."

  Jackson also grinned, with an extremely bright smile on his face. At this moment, he also looked like a child.

  The dumb grandfather left here after instructing the Chinese medicine to be decocted with water.

   During this period of time, he must be running here every day.

   And MJ did what he said. The next day, the news that he was going to set up a foundation appeared in the newspapers, and of course on TV.

  In a program, MJ had tears in his eyes, and affectionately described what he had seen and heard in the research institute, as well as those patients suffering from the virus, and called on the whole society to care for these patients.

  At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen all aspects of protection to avoid contracting this terrible disease.

  The host also invited Dr. He to popularize relevant knowledge on TV, such as shaking hands with patients, hugging, and even eating together.

  Jackson’s influence is undoubtedly huge. In just a few days, dozens of well-known singers, movie stars and even stars from other industries have expressed their willingness to join this foundation and donate generously.

  Celebrities do charity, this is really common on their side.

  For a while, the whole society set off an upsurge, which became the most concerned issue of the people.

   But at this time, a reporter with great powers finally dug out a blockbuster from the Los Angeles branch structure. The title is as follows:

   It's appalling to feed AIDS patients with bugs!

  As soon as this news came out, the entire city of Los Angeles erupted.
