CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 315: HOPE! BLOOD SERUM THERAPY!

"Her condition is really dangerous."

"Of course,"

"Well, how long has it been?"

"About more than a month."

"Have you been enduring it like this all along?"

"At first it was fine, but later... I didn’t expect it to develop like this."

"Are there many similar patients in Mexico over there?"

"Well... there are many."

"So, are there any people who have recovered now?"

"Huh?"

When Zhou Mo Sen saw Esmeralda’s condition, he immediately showed his doctor’s traits.

His tone and attitude turned cold, as if he was not familiar with Owen at all.

Yet this attitude of Zhou Mo Sen strangely put Owen at ease.

That’s how doctors are, that’s how it feels when he goes to the hospital.

But what should be done with Esmeralda in front of him?

Zhou Mo Sen’s question was strange, why was he asking about others?

Owen was confused for a moment, his eyes were full of bewilderment.

Zhou Mo Sen certainly understood why he was like this; if they were in a hospital, he wouldn’t need to explain more.

Now that the situation was different, he could say a bit more.

"As of now, due to many factors, although I can confirm this is an epidemic, both the United States and Mexico have not responded as they should have, considering the whole situation.

In other words, my personal strength is really not enough.

To be more specific, regarding this contagious nature of the flu, we not only lack a vaccine, we haven’t even started developing one.

Let alone targeted drug research.

Do you understand what I’m saying?"

To Owen, Zhou Mo Sen’s words sounded like each sentence was a heavy hammer.

Pounding his heart.

"You mean, boss, you don’t have a way either?"

Owen had never asked such a question before.

Because in his mind, Zhou Mo Sen was the most brilliant doctor in the United States.

Definitely not a simple plastic surgeon.

Meaning, Zhou Mo Sen should be the kind of super amazing comprehensive doctor who can cure any disease.

This idea... actually made a lot of sense for Owen, if he didn’t have this mindset, he wouldn’t have been misled by that Health Sect in the past.

Furthermore, throughout the whole United States, people with similar recognition as Owen were actually quite good; many Americans’ knowledge was not even as good as Owen’s.

But Owen at this moment... indeed, he was almost despairing!

However, Zhou Mo Sen laughed.

"When did I say I didn’t have a way?"

The moment these words came out, the hope in Owen’s heart was instantly reignited!

"Boss! I knew it! I knew it!"

This guy who kills without blinking now was as joyful as a child.

However, Zhou Mo Sen then turned cold again.

"Hold on, don’t get happy just yet, I need to explain first.

Actually, when it comes to treating Esmeralda, although it’s true from the perspective of the big picture.

There’s no specific effective medicine.

However, there are methods.

Roughly, the approaches can be divided into three categories.

One is the very common hospital approach, using antibiotics and even... later, steroid drugs.

The principle of this method is actually simple.

Because we don’t have targeted special medicine, we can only stimulate the patient’s own immune system.

Meaning, make her immune system run at MAX level, this method... will have some later issues."

Zhou Mo Sen paused as he spoke this method.

Because he was now talking about the method our country used two years ago to deal with that.

At the time, there really wasn’t any other way, it was really helpless.

Owen was listening, but why did the boss pause, what’s happening?

"Is this later... you mean severe?"

Zhou Mo Sen remained cold, but still nodded.

Owen was troubled by this, "Then, is there another method?"

Seeing how anxious he was, Zhou Mo Sen felt he should explain everything.

"Another one is a direct lung replacement, but this approach has significant challenges with lung sourcing.

Forget it, let me tell you a method we can actually do now.

I asked you before if there were any people who recovered after falling ill, right?

If there is such a person, then we need his blood, and then we can make blood serum.

That means using blood serum therapy to treat Esmeralda."

Blood serum therapy?

After hearing this, Owen felt this method... he had heard of it, but could they really do it?

Yeah, can we really make that stuff ourselves?

Anyone would probably have some doubts.

But Zhou Mo Sen now smiled again, as he knew Owen would have these doubts.

"Actually, producing the blood serum is not complicated, simply put, as long as there’s blood, let it stand still, and we just wait patiently, the pale yellow at the top is the blood serum.

However, there are some temperature requirements, we need to control them as much as possible.

Indeed, there are other methods, like you might have seen in some medical labs with centrifuges; that thing can also produce blood serum.

But we just let it stand."

Zhou Mo Sen indeed wasn’t lying, serum therapy is indeed one of the earliest methods humans used to tackle this kind of infectious disease.

The first vial of blood serum humans made was at the end of the 19th century.

One must understand, that era wasn’t yet a time of major modern medical advances.

So, we have enough conditions to do it.

However, this method has an ethical issue.

That is, it uses the blood of those who have already recovered.

Drawing blood from them—do they agree?

Or if these people are seen as panaceas, what consequences will there be?

Yes, never overestimate the morals of European and American society.

In Europe and America, there’s actually a culture of cannibalism.

Not kidding, it means in the literal sense.

Why did Hannibal become famous?

The means he used on people...

It actually has historical roots.

Even during the prosperous period of Egyptian archaeology, European and American aristocrats had a very peculiar hobby.

Mummies.

This stuff made it onto their menus.

Zhou Mo Sen wasn’t exaggerating; this is recorded in their official history.

They even consumed Egyptian mummies to the point of shortage, some merchants resorted to counterfeiting.

Sorting out real from fake three-thousand-year-old mummies... Uncle Fan’s research has quite the market.

So, a person who recovered from illness is... actually quite dangerous.

Of course, Zhou Mo Sen was quite sure there would be such a person.

Human society is like this, there have been many astonishing plagues in human history.

But under such plagues, there were always people who survived.

Simply put, they endured on their own.

Humans have only defeated one virus, but among us, there are some individuals who are relatively special.

Swine flu is not particularly strong.

So, there will definitely be people who endure it.

Then!

Owen understood everything and started packing, "She..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll find someone special to take care of her, you don’t need to worry about the medication."

Zhou Mo Sen also understood what Owen was going to do.

He was going to make another trip to Mexico, but this trip...

"Remember to wear a mask, and, leave tomorrow, I’ll give you two shots to boost your immunity."

From Dr. Zhou’s words, it sounded like he was going to turn Owen into a Biochemical Warrior.

Owen chuckled, he didn’t care about these things at all.

Just knowing, there is hope now!
