Charlie then said, "Oh, I have sbusiness to tend to this afternoon. If it's convenient for you, I want to use your car later." Jacob handed the car keys to Charlie without any hesitation and said, "Of course it's convenient for me! Go ahead and use it. It just so happens that I will drink a glass or two tonight. If I drive, I would have to find someone to drivehome. It's much more convenient to just take a cab." 7 Charlie nodded and took the car keys from Jacob.

Meanwhile, at the Silverwing Hospital, after Doris had sent the lunch box to her mother, she immediately went to the office of the director of the nephrology department to ask about her father's current condition. 6 Dr. Spears, the sixty-something-year-old director of the nephrology department, pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "Miss Young, I have to be frank. Your father is not doing very well right now. His kidney has completely failed..." "We now have to perform peritoneal dialysis on him every day and hemodialysis every other day. His complications are getting worse and worse." "I went over to do a check-up on him this morning and found that his condition today has worsened as compared to yesterday." "Yesterday, I told your mother that there are about twenty days left for the transplant window, but after another evaluation this morning, I personally feel that the window may have to be shortened to about fifteen days." 3 At this point, Dr. Spears sighed and said helplessly, " There are still fifteen days left in the transplant window. Excluding the tfor pre-operative preparations, you have at most twelve days to find a kidney source. If you can't find one, there's truly nothing we can do. Our hands are tied." 4 Doris's tears flowed out of her eyes and drenched her cheeks instantly.
She hurriedly wiped away her tears and asked anxiously, "Dr. Spears, how did my father's condition decline so significantly? That kidney he has now was just transplanted two years ago. You were the one who did the transplant surgery for him, and I remember that you said that he would not have a life-threatening condition for at least quite stime, but it's only been two years..." Dr. Spears said helplessly, "This situation is indeed greatly beyond my prediction. I also do not understand why his kidney would have failed so quickly. I tried to investigate whether there are any signs of accidental ingestion of any toxic substances, but I have not found any clues." Doris pursued, "Dr. Spears, what kind of toxic substance can cause a person's kidney to fail so drastically?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDr. Spears replied, "Sherbal medicines have strong nephrotoxicity, such as Aristolochia aka Dutchman's pipe. Qur country has long moved this ingredient out of the medical code, but there are still sunscrupulous doctors who would secretly add this ingredient inside their prescription in order to increase the efficiency of the drug on the patient's body, which subsequently leads to serious damage to the patient's kidneys." With that, Dr. Spears sighed and continued," Haphazardly buying and taking health care products as well as listening to unverified health care tips are also the major causes of kidney failure among the middle aged and elderly in recent years..." "Moreover, these patients are easily fooled by unscrupulous TV commercials, advertisements, and the so-called health gurus, lacking the ability to discern truth from false." 3
"For example, the father of our director of thoracic surgery has always despised him as a Western medical doctor and trusts the traditional medicine wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability to distinguish good doctors from the bad and always blindly believes in those health programs on TV." 5
"Last year, he felt that he had sfrequent urination problem, so he went to the shop to purchase a pack of medicine according to the content of the health program and secretly drank it three times a day. After three days, he was rushed to the hospital because of acute kidney failure." "In less than 48 hours, he passed away." s RULE #1 choose married women They have reason to keep things secret, as do you.
