Chapter 991: No ambiguity
“Why is the surgery that simple?
It takes a lot of time to retrieve artificial lungs from the United States alone, not to mention that the patient has to undergo preoperative examination..." Berman smiled faintly, "The price of artificial lungs is not cheap. After all, that kind of technology is the secret of the United States and cannot be transferred easily."
President Chen immediately patted his chest and promised, "Professor Berman, don't worry, the money is not a problem. As long as the artificial lungs can be transferred, your surgical fee and medical expenses will be calculated on the hospital. I will never be vague about how much you want."
In order to ensure that Zhennan Central Hospital becomes the first hospital to cure G virus patients, President Chen also fought hard, even if it costs high prices.
"Well..." Berman tapped the table with his finger and said slowly, "You also know that the situation is urgent now. If you want to complete this matter in the shortest time, you still need to make some points, at least this number."
Berman stretched out a finger.
A young doctor immediately asked, "One million?"
"snort!"
Berman's face was a little bad.
President Chen immediately woke up and asked anxiously, "Ten million?"
Zhong Yan and others were stunned. It was just a surgery. It wouldn't cost so much to include artificial lungs. Berman was talking big.
"Is it too expensive?"
Zhong Yan couldn't help asking, "I heard that the artificial lungs in the United States are only more than 1.4 million..." Berman sneered, "10 million, I'm talking about the American sword..." Hiss--everyone took a breath.
Ten million yuan is very expensive. Berman dares to ask for ten million US dollars, which is simply taking advantage of the situation.
President Chen's face kept shaking, and his expression was so awkward. He also didn't expect that Berman would really speak out without regard for his affection. This was not just a robbery, but also a sense of putting in the wrong.
"Professor Berman, it's so expensive that our hospital really can't afford it."
"Everyone," Berman smiled indifferently, "I can come to Zhennan for the sake of President Chen. Now is an extraordinary period, and the success rate of artificial lung manufacturing is not high. As long as this method is effective, it is very likely that the weakness of the G virus will be discovered during the patient's condition reduction. At that time, you can take the opportunity to develop a vaccine. Then your central hospital will save everyone's lives. I don't need to say which one is more important, right?"
President Chen was anxious and his anxious face changed. He knew that what Berman said was the fact, and that all artificial lung and clinical surgical techniques were in Berman's hands, so he had no bargaining capital at all.
It is difficult to rely solely on current medical technology to stop the spread and find opportunities to make vaccines. It will take at least several months. By then, it was already out of control and I don’t know how many people would die.
No one can wait for this time.
Dean Chen only had Berman's solution in front of him, but the funds needed were too huge and had already exceeded his tolerance.
"Professor Berman, wait for me to report to the top to see if I can mobilize funds to support it. It will take about a day."
President Chen smiled bitterly.
"Okay, I have time."
Berman smiled disconcertedly, "But I would like to remind you that once this situation spreads, it will inevitably cause huge riots, and it will be too late to control it."
President Chen and others naturally understood this situation, but they felt that Berman was a bit too much, but after all, they were not Chinese, so it was understandable to make such a decision.
"what to do?"
President Chen called Zhong Yan aside, looking very anxious, and he couldn't decide on this situation now.
Berman can be said to be a trump card in Dean Chen's hand. At the same time, this card is also very hot. If it is not used well, it is still a double-edged sword, which is very difficult.
"The patient's condition is not very good. When I came just now, three more patients suspected of G virus infection were sent. I was afraid that these patients would cause a commotion and would be out of control at that time."
"But this Berman is too expensive, and it's all mixed. The price of saving a person costs 100 million. This is not realistic at all, right?"
"It's not a question of whether to save people or not, but whether the gene sequence of the G virus can be found and then used effective means to prevent it. If artificial lungs can be used to save people, I think it's a solution."
Everyone was whispering, but Berman was drinking tea calmly and didn't care at all. In his eyes, this was just a deal, nothing to do with life.
"Berman, do you seem to know this virus very well?"
At this moment, Lin Xiao suddenly said something, stunned Berman's question.
"I am an expert in infectious diseases. Is it strange to understand the g virus?"
Berman asked quietly.
"What I wonder is that the timing of your arrival was a bit too coincidental, right?"
"If it weren't for the enthusiastic invitation from Dean Chen, would you think I would come here to take risks?"
Berman sneered.
Lin Xiao asked thoughtfully, "I just checked it on my phone. You are quite famous. You are a famous infectious expert in the United States, but you have another identity."
"What's the meaning?"
Berman's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You are also a biochemist who worked for the US Defense Institute and conducted biochemical experiments in the Philippines, right?"
“Bad talk!”
Berman was angry at the time, "Where did you look for the mess?"
It's simply nonsense."
"Yo! Such a big reaction?
You are quite good at Chinese, do you know so many idioms?”
Lin Xiao laughed silently, "I'm just talking casually, it's all you need to worry about."
The information Lin Xiao found was only the first half, and the second half of the sentence was a sudden intent. He was trying to test it out, but he didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so intense.
"snort!"
Berman's eyes trembled and he stared at Lin Xiao coldly.
Bang bang bang! "Okay!"
At this moment, Lin Xiao patted the table and signaled everyone to listen to his speech.
Everyone looked at Lin Xiao in confusion, and only heard the latter say in a deep voice, "I have listened for a long time, but you still have no solution. Why don't you let me try it."
"Let you try?"
Berman immediately sneered, "Do you want to use human life as a joke?"
"At least I don't charge, and I just successfully rescued a patient from a coma. Can you do it?"
Lin Xiao retorted.
"I'm just lucky. I've also diagnosed that patient. Her immunity is very strong. It's just a timely opportunity to wake up. You're just lucky."
Lin Xiao said disrespectfully, "Whether you are lucky or the timing, I let her live, you shut up before you do anything, did you hear it?"
"you!!!"
