Chapter 199: Shorted
The two interns brought back samples and some gossip, and then got as busy as ever.
Dr. House, though eccentric, was also very hard-working, and as the days went by, he was less and less in the mood to touch the big toys that Mariah Carey had bought, either by muttering 'funny' to the medical reports at his bedside or by going through the medical records in his office until late at night.
He hadn't had a smile on his face for a long time, and he was taking medicine for lameness more and more often.
It seemed that he really wanted to cure Song Ya, and the old Mike, who had been observing for a long time, was completely relieved.
It would be better if your old heart was not constantly frightened......
'Didi, Didi, Didi! ’
Just like now, the monitoring device next to the hospital bed suddenly called the alarm, "Call the doctor!" Old Mike shouted at the South African bodyguards and rushed to the bed, and Song Yazheng vomited blood one by one.
"What did House inject him in the morning!?"
Loudly questioning the three interns who came to the rescue, he saw Dr. House enter the ward without saying a word in the morning, and inject an unknown injection of medicine into Song Ya's body.
"Please get out! Don't interfere with first aid! ”
The interns didn't bother to answer, "The patient is having a spasm and turning him on his side!" ”
He had no choice but to suppress his anger and exit the ward.
Not long after, the interns and nurses pushed their beds straight to the emergency center.
"You guys! Follow the past! ”
This has happened three times before, this is the fourth time, and the old Mike was not panicked, and ordered the South African bodyguards to protect him, and he went outside to call his mobile phone, "Mimi, I may need you to come over and sign again." ”
"I have an announcement for the evening." Mariah Carey said embarrassed on the other end of the phone.
"He just vomited blood......"
"Okay, okay."
In a hurry, Song Ya was rescued before the ghost gate closed as before, and when Mariah Carey arrived, he had already been sent back to the hospital room and continued to sleep.
"Your treatment is a joke on APLUS's life." Her personal physician barked at the dean from House's office.
"Shut up!"
House stopped politely, then took a pen and crossed out an unknown Latin name on the densely written whiteboard, "At least we can rule out an option now." ”
"It's a pity that APLUS won't survive to finish your elimination." The personal doctor said quietly.
"We're going to cut his head open." He suddenly ordered his subordinates, "Prepare for a craniotomy." ”
"What!? Why? Mariah Carey screamed.
"Here it is again, and he is going to mention the smile of APLUS when he was first admitted to the hospital." Private doctors have also attended the consultation quite a few times.
"I can't be mistaken." House was categorical.
The corners of his mouth just moved! It often happens to people who are unconscious! The personal doctor was furious, "Craniotomy is too dangerous, Miss Kelly!" Don't believe this paranoia! ”
"APLUS was subjected to a violent jolt when you moved him out of UChicago Medical Center, right? Maybe it made the tumor in his brain move a little bit, which is why he reacted to the outside world when he first arrived here, and then the tumor repressed the nerve while he was recuperating......"
House Analysis: "We opened the cranium to find it. ”
"So now it's a tumor and not some kind of Lyme disease?" The personal doctor sneered.
"We've ruled out Lyme disease a long time ago." House replied.
"But the APLUS brain has been examined countless times! He's got no damn tumors there at all! ”
"All the tests available are not a complete guarantee that the tumor will be found. Signed it, Ms. Kelly......"
House took the consent form from his man like a devil and said, "Sign it!" He yelled.
"Craniotomy is too risky! APLUS has been in a coma for five months, and he could die on the operating table at any moment! ”
"What should I do? Woo woo woo ...... "Mariah Carey was so frightened by the argument that she was distracted and cried at her desk.
"House......" The female dean also looked at Dr. House with half questioning and half inquiry.
"Your hospital will be sued by us." The private doctor threatened the dean.
"APLUS's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the probability of waking up from surgery a day earlier is one point greater." House ignores him and persuades the target, Mariah Carey.
"What should I do? Mike. Mariah Carey looked at Old Mac with teary eyes.
"Let's sign it."
Old Mike wiped his eyes with a handful, "It's really torturous...... Everyone was tired, and I couldn't hold on anymore. He said.
"Prepare for surgery."
House waited for Mariah Carey to finish signing crookedly, grinning again, and shoved two pills into her mouth.
"Wait for the accused!" The personal physician and assistant helped Maryah Carey, who had burst into tears, out of the office.
"In a few days, they'll do a craniotomy on you, which is to cut off your scalp, punch holes in your skull with an electric drill, and then open the entire skull......"
Sloan and Yeremov happened to come to visit, and Sloan learned a little about it from Dr. House, "The point is that they don't even know where the tumor is......"
"Don't talk about that, Sloane, if he can hear us, let him be in a good mood before going to the operating table." Old Mike persuaded.
"Good mood? Goodman: They transferred about 40 million cash from A+ Copyright and Asset Management Company to invest junk stock claims and other ways that I don't know, and they also intercepted all political donations in '97, some charitable grants, legal expenses, and more than half of the 10 million a year from A+ Venture Capital......"
Sloan, who has always been very calm, is also about to collapse, she said: "They just partnered with DeLay and Wall Street predators to spin off the last round of financing for the Americ music website, and the stake in A+ Audio has fallen from 49 percent to 32 percent...... It will be further reduced after the IPO. ”
"There is also an unknown amount of various incomes missing in the first half of '97, and it is conservatively estimated that your private lawyer has taken away at least hundreds of millions of money."
"After Littleman's educational film project won over three states, other studios and publishers also began to be wary of launching a public relations competition, and I could only help them win thirteen states at most, at most ......."
"Okay, okay, stop talking about Sloane."
Old Mike didn't understand business, but the more he listened, the more obscure he became, "Yeremov, didn't you bring good news?" ”
"The football stunner sold well, the box office exceeded 100 million when Beimi was down, and the global box office was tens of millions, but ...... Well, but maybe the settlement will be delayed by Columbia Pictures for a long time, Sony Columbia is also dragging last year's record settlement, Goodman sued them, but has not been seriously litigated. ”
Yeremov said: "Universal has arranged for Blade to take over Jurassic Park 2, and it will start painting soon, and on the 20th of this month, the main opponents are Batman and Robin." Oh yes, the Titanic schedule was postponed to the end of the year...... The box office of Apu's main biography did not even pass the million mark, and it was forced to withdraw by the theater in less than a week. ”
"Good news." Old Mike emphasized.
"But maybe it's a good thing that the settlement is dragged like this, at least the money won't fall into Goodman's pocket." Yeremov forced a smile.
Old Mac rolled his eyes helplessly.
At this time, there was a faint quarrel outside the ward, and when Old Mac went out to look, Amy was stopped by South African bodyguards and was not allowed to enter, and she also threw herself into the arms of the female intern and cried.
"Why, why didn't you let me go in and visit him?" Amy pear blossoms with rain.
"I'm sorry, Amy, but Ms. Kelly specifically instructed you not to enter the ward."
It was like the end of the world, Old Mac hardened his heart and explained, "Now she's our employer." ”
"She's not ...... again"
"She's gone back to the notice, and it's been a hard time, Amy, good, you've always been the best, haven't you?"
Old Mike pulled her aside and whispered, "Ms. Kelly now holds the power of life and death of APLUS, you don't want her to mess with APLUS out of jealousy, right?" She was impulsive and reckless. ”
"She's just an ex-wife." Amy said unwillingly.
"She's little Rhaeggar's mother."
Amy is currently red, and the outside of the ward here in Princeton is not as quiet as the University of Chicago Medical Center, and some patients and medical staff look over.
"Wait for the results, they should be available soon." Old Mac couldn't bear to tell her about the craniotomy.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmm......mmmm
"Mike, I'm ......"
Just as he was about to turn back to the hospital room, Jimmy cowered from the corner and called out to him.
"Why is it again...... Jimmy, you're good boy, but ...... No, you know, your brother ...... them" Old Mac stared at him coldly and refused, "if it weren't for the fact that we're all from New Mexico......"
"It's okay, I brought all his law exam books, can you hand them over for me?" Jimmy was carrying a large bag of books.
"Alas! All right. ”
Old Mike took the bag, looked at Jimmy's brisk back and shook his head.
'Tick, tick, tick......'
The monitoring instrument made a steady sound, and at night, Old Mike took care of everything, turned off the lights according to the old habit, turned on the TV, tuned to CNBC, the financial station that has often touted Song Ya recently, and then put on earplugs and curled up on the sofa to fall asleep.
"Okay, the next big news in the technology industry, Microsoft announced that it will release the IE4.0 browser at the end of September, if nothing else, it should still be a bundled operating system, or a free ......"
"Netscape's stock price has plummeted, and their browser market share has been beaten down a lot by the previously well-received IE3.02, and now it may only be 70% of the nod?"
"Their new browser is very good, but it uses too many new features, many bugs, and a poor user experience, and many users would rather use the old version."
The guest said: "Microsoft's strong product iteration ability has made IE's stability come after it, and it also respects the programming standards proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium......"
"But Microsoft is in danger of being convicted of monopolistic behavior and being spun off." Moderator reminder.
"That's Microsoft, Netscape is too weak in front of it." The guest shook his head, "The situation is completely different from last year. ”
"Yes, Netscape's stock price was less than $80 at the close of trading today, and the stock price of affiliated companies such as Infoseek was weak, and if this continues, they will lose their qualifications to become Microsoft's opponents...... "The host said regretfully.
There was only the light of the TV in the ward, and the host continued to broadcast: 'Today, the stock price of 3DFX plummeted again, and the market value came to 120 million, which has fallen below the issue price. Ballard, the president of 3DFX, has shouted several times that they expect to make a profit of 60 million this year. The moderator asked.
"One is that Voodoo2 has invested heavily in development, resulting in the company's high debt."
Second, a series of mergers and acquisitions carried out after listing are not favored by the industry. ’
Third, their Voodoo Rush graphics card frequently had compatibility problems and bugs half a year after its release, resulting in the threat of being threatened to terminate cooperation by Compaq and other big PC manufacturers, Voodoo Rush's 3D function is only a weakened version of Voodoo1, and other competitors can't close the performance gap, and the 2D function is even lagging behind other mainstream products. ’
Finally, and most importantly, the reason is what they said in the prospectus about the cooperation with Sega to develop the game console, and Sega just issued a public statement a few days ago that 3DFX violated the confidentiality agreement between the two parties, resulting in the leakage of key performance parameters in the battle between them and Sony for the next generation of game consoles. Now Sega is not only going to terminate the cooperation, but also threatening to launch a lawsuit against 3DFX......' replied the guest.
"But isn't the 3DFX founding trio very confident to say that Sega can't have other display chip options besides Voodoo2?" The moderator asked.
"It seems like that's right.,But the style of doing business in the book.,It's not good...... In short, the above is all big bad news, according to the current market value of 3DFX, if it loses the lawsuit with Sega, the whole company will not be enough to lose. The guest replied.
"Ahh X! ”
Suddenly, Song Ya scolded and sat up ninety degrees from the hospital bed.
