Facing days in life without any answers yet
continuing to live life, not give up, all the way until an answer finally
appears takes a lot of courage!
This
man worked for an international school. Two years ago, he began to have pain in
his back, neck, lower back, and other parts of his body. The pain became more
and more severe, up until the point he was unable to move around and live a
normal life.
Initially,
he went to one of the top three public hospitals in the city that he lived in
and was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). He received continual
treatment at the hospital, but his symptoms didn’t improve, in fact they were
getting worse. He called on MSH for help, and after receiving his medical
reports, MSH’s medical team arranged for a consultation with Shanghai’s top
Rheumatology experts. However, this treatment still proved to be ineffective.
During his business trip to the United
States, he expressed to MSH that he hoped to go to Mayo clinic for treatment.
At this world-class hospital, he hoped he could remedy the pain that he had had
for such a long time. MSH immediately contact Mayo Clinic, and with family
coming as far away as Hong Kong, MSH also helped to make an appointment with a
specialist that would work with everyone’s schedule.
With
only one flight a day to the small town that Mayo Clinic is located in, MSH
took this into consideration and booked a local hotel for him, and made an
arrangement to ensure that the treatment process would not interfere with his
work schedule.
After everything was arranged, his travel
itinerary changed all of a sudden, meaning he wouldn’t be able to get treatment
as originally scheduled. Even through several changes to his itinerary, MSH
worked with the Mayo Clinic every step of the way to negotiate and reschedule.
MSH ensured an ideal time for treatment, taking into consideration his
itinerary and also factoring in the schedule of the Mayo Clinic specialists.
MSH
coordinated in a row through a series of multiple e-mails and night time phone
calls, all the way up until he successfully completed treatment at Mayo Clinic.
However, the medicine prescribed by Mayo Clinic was not sold in China. Working
with a comprehensive healthcare network, MSH arranged for distribution of the
medicine to him in Hong Kong. Due to allergies, however, he reacted with itchy
symptoms after taking the medicine.
MSH still did not give up, and continued to
help him find the right medical expert in Beijing and Shanghai. MSH came to
learn that Director Feng of the best Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in
Beijing GuangAnMen Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine had cured many
patients suffering from rheumatism and similar diseases. Knowing the results
were good, MSH quickly took care of all the preparatory work and arranged for
appointments.
After
consultation, Director Feng thought that the symptoms of pain occurred after
exercising and sweating and were caused by an internal chilling. He then
prescribed some Chinese medicine. After the first week of taking the prescribed
medicine to stop the internal chilling, the medicine took effect, and his night
insomnia problem was alleviated. During every month afterwards, MSH helped him
set appointments and even accompanied him to the hospital. After 6 months, he
gradually reduced the dose of painkillers. After 8 months of treatment, he was
nearly completely off the painkillers, and gradually restored to health.
After witnessing this experience for more
than two years, facing days without answers, every day facing confusion,
frustration, and seeking for answers…, continuing on takes courage! MSH salutes
those with courage, and stands by their side!
