Chapter 597: Spend your money and follow my research methods
Viscount Aylwin got a bill.
A bill, plus a request form. The amount was so large that even as a viscount, he was still a little stunned when he saw it:
"2,000 gold coins? All spent in two days? Still need 3,000 gold coins? Master Nordmark, you...you..."
Was it spent too quickly?
Just because I paid for it, you can’t just spend it as much as you want!
"We have achieved certain results." Facing the donor, Grete smiled sincerely, and when he spoke, he tried his best to speak in a direction that the other party wanted to hear:
"We have preliminarily determined the method of displaying cardiac blood flow and the types of medicines. Furthermore, we have conducted experiments using a half-sized piglet that is about the same weight as a boy, and have preliminarily determined the amount of medicines needed."
He pushed over the experiment record book. Viscount Aylwin flipped through the pages page by page. His surprise and inexplicable unhappiness gradually subsided:
Mage Nordmark used a potion to treat minor injuries. To be honest, there is no magic potion cheaper than this. It can be seen that Mage Nordmark did not spend it randomly and tried to save the cost of experiments.
Every experiment had an experimental purpose, and the medicine used was accurate to 0.5 ml. After calculating the amount of medicine used before and after, he found that not only was he not overcharged 2,000 gold coins, but he was also given a small change.
As for the cost of casting spells during the experiment, Master Nordmark abided by the previous agreement and did not charge a penny. If this amount of money is added to the cost of asking the caster to cast spells, which is the customary fee, it will not be doubled.:.
"The plan we have set now is that for each cardiovascular imaging, 25-30 ml of potion for treating minor injuries is required." Grete continued to explain to him:
"On half-sized piglets with the same weight and similar heart size, first do 10 groups and observe the piglets' reaction. If the safety is good and the effect is satisfactory, then artificially create piglets with atrial septal defects and do another 10 groups.
Study the bolus site and imaging angle.”
When he said this, he sighed helplessly:
"This is the minimum number of experimental groups. It cannot be less." 10 groups? In the previous life, would you dare to do only 10 groups in animal experiments?
Whether it is the FDA or the China Food and Drug Administration, they will reject it directly!
But 3,000 gold coins was really a lot of money, and when Viscount Alwin was trying to pluck the wool from a sheep, he was a little reluctant to do it.
Viscount Aylwin nodded silently. He could understand and agree with Master Nordmark's experimental ideas, but he was still a little confused:
"According to your plan, you need to insert the vine into the heart and then release the healing potion? Isn't this... too dangerous?"
We wanted to verify the child's condition. Originally, it was because it was too dangerous to insert the vine into the heart, so we wanted to check it in advance! In the end, it went around and around, or did we still have to insert the vine into the heart?
Why bother!
"Of course it's dangerous." Gretel said seriously:
"Any invasive operation, or even any operation, will be dangerous. However, it depends on the degree of risk and whether it is worth it. In Mr. Ling's case, the previous diagnosis method has been enough to confirm the diagnosis, and it can actually be treated directly."
But if you want to see the blood flow in your heart, then you have no choice but to study a magic. Of course Gretel did not say this.
Viscount Alwin frowned. He flipped through the experimental records again, rubbing the adverse reactions on them with his fingertips, silently lost in thought:
Even if one of these things happens to my own son, I can’t bear the thought of it!
Is 2000 gold coins a lot? A lot. Is 5000 gold coins a lot? More.
However, if you can save your son, even if it costs 10,000 gold coins, you can do it! The fear is that after a long time of hard work, you will lose both your life and wealth...
He thought for a while, thought again, and gritted his teeth:
"You still need 3,000 gold coins? No problem! However, I have a request. Can it be done directly on people? I will bring a few children here and try it directly on them and let me see the effect..."
Halfway through his words, Gretel began to shake his head. After finishing the whole paragraph, Gretel's expression became serious:
"No. The animal experiments have not been completed, and they can never be done on humans. Even if they are completed, they cannot be done on healthy people."
This practice existed in the early years. In the early years, more than one doctor conducted experiments on himself and his children when experimental animals were not available:
Drink Helicobacter pylori, swallow the vomit of yellow fever patients, and drop trachoma pathogens into your eyes...
But performing unnecessary, dangerous and invasive procedures on healthy children?
This is not allowed!
This is against medical ethics!
"Why?" Viscount Aylwin didn't understand at all. He thought for a moment and patted his chest hard:
"Don't worry, the children I brought will definitely be my subjects, or even if something goes wrong with the children of my servant's family, no one will come to trouble you."
Alas, how precious is a family member of a patient who is willing to guarantee that there will be no medical trouble or even guarantee that others will not make trouble. Gretel still shook his head. Viscount Aylwin thought about it again and thought he had guessed Gretel's thoughts:
"I won't let them take the risk in vain. I will pay every child who undergoes the experiment. One gold coin per child is enough to convince their parents! These days, even if a five- or six-year-old child is killed on the road, he will be paid.
You can’t pay a single gold coin!”
Grete lowered his eyes slightly to cover up the sadness in his heart. The Viscount was right, the lives of poor children these days, or the lives of people these days, are so cheap.
In fact, it’s not just this world, even the previous life...
Why has India become a paradise for generic drugs? Why can the Indian government not protect the intellectual property rights of pharmaceutical compounds without being sanctioned by developed countries in Europe and the United States?
That's because many large European and American pharmaceutical companies tacitly test drugs on the poor people of India at extremely low prices...
But it still doesn't work. If you step back on medical ethics, a large number of people will suffer. Today you can do invasive experiments on healthy people, but tomorrow, maybe someone will dare to dissect a healthy living person.
He continued to shake his head. Viscount Aylwin frowned, a little anxious:
"Why is it still not working? Hey, Mr. Master, you are taking my money! Even if you take my money, can't you make one for me according to my ideas? I only hope that you can make one! One!"
That certainly can’t be done!
Some of the funders who provide research funds can control the direction of research, and some can influence the direction of research. However, I have never heard that funders can dictate: Don’t use this kind of animal! Don’t use this kind of instrument! You don’t want it.
…
Is this a joke?
He wanted to say, "That's definitely not possible. If you don't agree, I don't want the money." But after thinking about it, he decided to forget it because it would intensify the conflict. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously:
"Your Majesty the Viscount, from the perspective of our healers, there is no distinction between high and low in human life. Whether it is your son, a poor man, or the son of a servant, you cannot hurt one person for the sake of another person's life. This is actually the same.
Protection for all”
He raised a finger to stop the viscount's retort:
"If today, I can do experiments on healthy poor children for your son. Then tomorrow, if the king's son, the son of a great nobleman, or the son of a legendary mage falls ill, can I do experiments on your son?
"
The Viscount was silent. He still felt that Gretel's words were too pretentious and unworldly. However, such a truth could not be refuted for a while. If he did not refute, he would not be willing to do so.
Should we simply withdraw our capital? Withdraw our capital, we don’t need to check the heart condition, just treat it directly?
Anyway, Master Nordmark also said that the child has been diagnosed and can be treated directly...
Well, let's think of another way. We can make more money, but it's not easy to have a child. Jennifer's health is not good...
Grete observed his changing expression and suddenly smiled. Using healthy children for cardiovascular angiography violates medical ethics. Using children with congenital heart disease for examination is another matter!
"Otherwise, do you think this is okay?" He suggested softly:
"After I perfect the animal experiments, you can find some sick children and I will check and identify them. If it is confirmed that there is congenital heart disease, then use cardiovascular angiography to check. This does not violate my principles."
Viscount Aylwin's eyes lit up. He hesitated again:
"So, the cost..."
"As before, you are responsible for the cost of the treatment potions. Of course, you are responsible for finding and gathering those children, and convincing them and their parents to accept treatment. You are also responsible for all the human and financial expenditures. I don't have the ability.
."
Viscount Aylwin lowered his head and calculated silently. Gretel added lightly:
"After these children with congenital heart disease are found, I will give them the right to treat them as a practice. After curing ten or eight, I will treat your son again. I am much more sure, right? Don't worry, you don't have to pay for the cost of the treatment.
."
Viscount Alwin's eyes lit up. This is a good idea! The paper wrote about treating one person, but how to treat ten or eight in front of him, making him feel relieved.
"That's no problem! Leave it to me!"
He immediately puffed up his chest. It was a piece of cake to find some sick children, there were as many as he wanted in the workhouse or the slums!
Grete smiled secretly. Come on, the proportion of babies with congenital heart disease is about 0.4% to 1% of babies born. In other words, if you search the city of Nevis, you can probably find 160 to 400 that year.
about.
The problem is that in slums, such babies are easy to die and difficult to raise. If you want to find dozens of children around the age of five or six with congenital heart disease...
emmm…
Good luck.
If he really finds out, he doesn't mind treating him. After all, it's about treating diseases and saving lives. Also, collect some cases and publish a big paper?
An isolated case is nothing. If there are more than ten or twenty cases of congenital heart disease, it would be better for Mrs. Alva to have the name "Miracle Doctor Grete", right?
I'll go talk to her later and see if I can get some funds to cover the children's hospitalization expenses!
