As soon as the phone was connected, Felipe smiled and said, "Mr. Hawkins, it's been a long time since we met."
"It's really been a long time since I saw you. Why did the prince suddenly remember to call me? Do you want to date my daughter? If that's the case, I'm happy to promote your marriage call." The Health Minister on the other end laughed and teased.
Felipe is the heir to the king on the future. If he can marry his daughter to him, it means that his daughter can become the future queen. Whether it is Spain or other European countries, countless upper-class figures are thinking about marrying his daughter to this outstanding young man.
After hearing the words of the Minister of Health, Felipe was amused and cried. He had met the Minister of Health's daughter and was very impressed by the other party because the other party was about the same age as him but twice his size. He had never seen a few women in his life who could be so fat.
If he really married such a woman, it would be a lifelong nightmare for him.
He didn't dare to answer this sentence even though he was beaten to death, so he said directly: "I called here today. Actually, I have something to discuss with you. It's about my grandfather's condition."
"Oh, God bless the old king, has his body improved? If so, I think this is a happy event worthy of congratulations to the whole country." The Health Minister hurriedly prayed on the other end of the phone.
Felipe smiled bitterly and said, "That's not. Grandpa's physical condition is not too optimistic now and is still deteriorating. So in order to restore his health, I came to China to visit a famous doctor. You should have heard of him. He is the first Chinese medicine doctor in the world to attend the Royal Swedish Medical College as a Chinese medicine doctor. The Swedish royal family also highly praised his medical skills."
"Oh, it turns out it was that young man, I did hear him." The Health Secretary smiled and said, "But my dear prince, although that young man has some medical skills, I think he is not enough to compare with the world-famous doctors in Europe. You see, the problem that our top doctors here cannot solve, he may not be able to solve even more."
He had to speak softer in front of the prince, so he said so. If someone else had come to him and told him that he would hire a Chinese medicine doctor to treat the old king, he would have started cursing on the spot.
"Mr. Hawkins, I understand your idea. I used to think that traditional Chinese medicine could not solve any problem, but the facts proved that we were too narrow-minded and did not understand traditional Chinese medicine enough. They originated from the ancient country of China with a civilization of over 5,000 years. Being able to pass on for so many years is enough to prove that their medical skills are not as unbearable as rumored by the outside world. This time I came to visit Dr. Huang, and he told me that I was at least 80% sure that I could cure my grandfather's illness." Felipe explained to the Minister of Health in a serious tone.
After a pause, he continued: "You are also a PhD graduate from Royal Medical College. I believe you should understand what 80% of the hope for treatment means."
"Yes, I understand that 80% of the treatment rate means great hope, but does that young man really have this ability? I still have some doubts about this. After all, we can't just joke about the safety of the old king's life." Hawkins said worriedly in the other end of the phone.
Felipe was silent on the phone for two seconds, and then he said, "There is no choice anymore. How long can my grandfather live if this continues? Three months? Two months or even one month? These are hard to be sure. If I don't seize this last chance, I can only watch my grandfather and slowly die."
"Prince, what you said makes sense. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to try more. After all, it is not a bad thing to try. You don't even have the courage to start. How can you accept victory? I personally express my support for your behavior." The Health Minister on the other end of the phone said.
I have to say that these politicians have always been cunning in their words. Even at this time, they would have said personal support, rather than as the Ministry of Health.
Felipe was also used to dealing with these politicians. He spoke out: "Thank you for your support and understanding, Hawkins, so in addition to your support, I came here today, but I also want to discuss with you one thing, that is, although Dr. Huang agreed to come to Spain to help my grandfather's illness, he put forward a request, which may require your help to achieve."
"What kind of request is it? If I can do it, I will definitely not refuse. After all, I am also very worried about the health of the old king." Hawkins asked on the end of the phone.
"That's right, that Dr. Huang thinks..." Felipe mentioned Huang Tianba's request to the Minister of Health.
After hearing Felipe's words, the Health Secretary was silent on the other end of the phone.
After a few seconds, he slowly spoke out: "That's a very regrettable. If it's other problems, I can try my best to help solve them, but this problem is not good. Perhaps there are some very powerful doctors in traditional Chinese medicine, but most of them may not work. After all, you also know how much negative news Chinese medicine has in their country over the years."
"As for their Chinese patent medicines, they are all extracted from herbs. Some of them may be able to treat diseases, but we are not sure what side effects they will bring to the human body. If we agree, we will not be responsible for all citizens."
"But Sweden has agreed to sell Chinese patent medicines, and there are Chinese medicine practitioners who open hospitals there. They have not had any medical accidents in the past six months. I think this can explain some problems well. The reason why we think there is finally a problem is that we don't know them enough. What do you think, Hawkins?" Felipe said.
"Well, I'm a little hard to say... After all, Prince, you know that no country in Europe except Sweden dares to do this." The Health Minister replied with a wry smile on the phone.
"If humans are unwilling to try to accept new things, then humans will never be able to make progress. No matter what, I think traditional Chinese medicine is indeed safe. This condition can be agreed, or is it more important for the Ministry of Health to reject these traditional Chinese medicines that you don't like than treating them better than treating them, right?" Felipe's tone began to be filled with anger. How could he not hear that the other party did not want to agree to his request.
