operating room.
The young guy was already lying on his side on the operating table. The place where the anesthesia gel was injected was the sacral ganglion on the lumbar side. The injection site had to be very accurate, and it couldn't be wrong.
Zhao Heng read the full English instruction manual brought by Gu Jia. This water-based molecular anesthesia gel can last for two weeks. If it is injected in the wrong place and paralyzes the nerves that should not be paralyzed, it will cause serious problems.
For example, if the nerve that controls defecation is mistakenly paralyzed, then the young guy will be in a state of incontinence for up to two weeks. For a young guy, it is even worse than his current illness. Even more terrifying.
The difference is thousands of miles away, so every clinical operation must be cautious.
Zhao Heng opened the silver-white metal box, and cold air burst out of the box instantly, saying that this refrigerated metal box is a high-tech thing.
Naturally, things used in space cannot be packed in a box.
The most critical part of this box is the material. There is no electrical or chemical refrigeration structure inside, because in space, the more complicated the structure, the more likely it will be to make mistakes.
Therefore, the material for making this kind of box is an adaptive refrigeration material, which can control the temperature inside the box to a certain extent by adjusting the content of the material.
As far as this material is concerned, there are only a few places in the world that can produce it.
"Is this what you can take into space?"
Looking at the translucent, sticky, slug-like mass in a biological tube, Li Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Medical materials that can be brought into space naturally have special requirements. The two most critical and fundamental requirements are effect and stability.
Needless to say about the effect, the medical materials used in the space environment must have a good effect, the one with immediate results, otherwise, once something happens, there will be no time to deal with it and treat it.
This stability, naturally, means that various physical and chemical properties are stable, and it is not easy to react with other substances, and it is not easy to change properties when the temperature rises and falls.
The effect is good. Many new drugs that have been researched now have good first-aid effects, but it is not easy to do so when they are stable.
Therefore, the most important thing about this water-based molecular anesthesia gel is not the anesthetic drug in it, but the water-based molecular gel. This manufacturing technology is comparable to the preparation of nanomaterials.
The difficulty of this is naturally conceivable.
"This anesthetic gel will be widely used in the future."
Zhao Heng said suddenly.
If you think about it, you will know that this gel, compared with other anesthetic drug injection methods, the most important thing is that the anesthetic drug in this gel can be released slowly, and this gel is a substance that is close to the human body. It can be metabolized naturally in the human body, which is simply a perfect drug sustained-release material.
Simply put, this gel can be used in almost all parts of the body for anesthesia and pain relief.
"It's just a little too expensive."
Li Yang said.
The price of such a walnut-sized gel is around [-]. This is because the large-scale application has already begun, so the price has been lowered.
"Anything plus space will be expensive."
Zhao Heng said.
According to his experience in preparing nanomaterials with Professor Li Hongwei, the cost of this anesthesia gel must be only a few thousand yuan.
In modern society, the cost of anything that can be manufactured industrially is unimaginably low.
What's more, this gel is chemically synthesized, which is much simpler than preparing nanomaterials.
"I hope we can develop this gel in the future."
Li Yang said with a sigh.
In this regard, the past few decades have suffered too much.
"Disaster."
Zhao Heng said.
Domestic research and development is really hard to describe.
Otherwise, it would not be said that imported things have been used several times or even dozens of times for decades.
Research and development in China is a thankless task. Fortunately, the software jointly developed by Zhao Heng and Wang Yaoqing is about medical treatment and is very professional, and subsequent use requires special maintenance.
Otherwise, as long as it is software, it will be pirated for you every minute.
When I had dinner with Wang Yaoqing before, Wang Yaoqing also said that many software companies now develop pure English software and sell it to foreigners.
After a while, Tian Zhen prepared other equipment and said to Zhao Heng: "Doctor Zhao, you can start."
"it is good."
Zhao Heng nodded.
Next, wearing surgical rubber gloves, Zhao Heng carefully took out the tube of water-based molecular gel worth nearly [-] yuan from the silver-white biometal box.
This is worth a hundred thousand, so you can't just miss it and drop it to the ground.
Not to mention falling on the ground, even if the gel has any slight contamination, it cannot be injected into the human body, let alone around the nerves.
Four 10 minutes.
Zhao Heng and Li Yang completed the operation together.
"How do you feel now?"
Zhao Heng asked the young guy.
Since the gel was injected with a very thin minimally invasive probe, the boy was not anesthetized, and the effect of the anesthesia gel should be felt immediately.
"It's gone, that feeling is gone!"
The guy felt it for a while, the feeling of incomparable torment before had disappeared, and now he felt as if he was carrying a heavy weight and put it down all at once.
The young man felt a sense of relief at the moment. This strange disease tortured him so much that life would be worse than death.
"Doctor, how long will this last?"
The young man asked Zhao Heng anxiously.
"This is currently the most advanced aqueous molecular gel in the world, which can maintain continuous anesthesia for two weeks."
Zhao Heng said.
This water-based molecular anesthesia gel worth 4 yuan, although it is said that Gu Jia has applied for a fee reduction, but such imported medical materials are not included in the medical insurance, so the guy himself has to pay about [-] yuan.
If you have to use this water-based molecular anesthesia gel to maintain the effect, then the price of the next water-based molecular anesthesia gel must be the original price, which is [-].
One hundred thousand for two weeks, 20 for one month, and 240 million for one year.
That is to say, in order to maintain this treatment effect, a treatment fee of 240 million is required a year, and it is not a radical treatment.
The treatment of many diseases in clinical practice has fallen into this medical expense dilemma.
There are medical treatments, and they are effective, but the cost of this treatment is completely beyond the affordability of ordinary people.
"Doctor... Will there be this fee reduction next time?"
The young man asked Zhao Heng anxiously.
This time the fee was [-], and the guy originally had some savings, so he could still afford the [-], but if he wanted [-] next time, it would be a pain in the ass.
As for the further back, he couldn't afford it.
"During this period of time, I will try my best to find the cause. If I find the cause, I may be able to perform a radical treatment, so that I will not need to maintain it in the future."
Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, he didn't dare to promise such a rare disease, so he could only say that he tried his best.
"Thank you, thank you doctor."
The boy said very gratefully.
Although it can't be cured yet, it has found a way anyway.
As for the follow-up treatment costs, we can only think of a way later.
Coming out of the operating room, Zhao Heng didn't feel easy.
One hundred thousand for two weeks, how many people can afford this kind of expensive treatment?
As for the boy's illness, Zhao Heng actually thought of a solution that was not a solution.
If you really can't find the cause, that's the only way to go.
"Doctor Zhao, have you thought of a radical cure?"
Li Yang looked at Zhao Heng and said that although he had not been in the ward to follow Zhao Heng for a long time, he still had a deep understanding of Zhao Heng's high level.
With Zhao Heng's ability, he must have thought of a cure for this neurological disease.
"There is, but the price is too high."
Zhao Heng frowned and said, he would not tell the boy about this radical solution unless it was absolutely necessary.
"It's not nerve root damage, is it?"
Li Yang thought for a while and said.
"If the cause cannot be found, the only option is to do sacral nerve root damage, but after this surgery, the patient will permanently lose the ability to X."
Zhao Heng nodded and said.
X ability is very important if you say it is important, and it is not important if you say it is not important. It depends on whether you can use it or not.
For a person who has been a bachelor all his life, having this ability is basically equivalent to not having it.
But this guy is very handsome, and he definitely won't be a bachelor. Without his X ability, the impact is still great.
"It's hard to find the cause."
Li Yang sighed and said, because it is too rare and there are very few cases, so the research on this disease is even more pitiful.
It is simply an impossible task to find out the cause of the disease from scratch, and to come up with a radical cure.
"Try it."
Zhao Heng said slowly.
There are many strange diseases that cannot be cured in this world, and it is not every time that Zhao Heng can find a solution. He has integrated the experience of many doctors and can treat many critical and difficult diseases, but the premise is that this disease It must be in his "experience library".
If there is no disease in his experience bank, he can only try to treat it.
Sometimes he also thinks that it would be great if his golden finger is the kind of "universal solution".
There is a saying that when manpower is limited, even if he has integrated the experience of all the powerful doctors in the entire Eastern Hospital, and even went to the Medical University to gather the experience of many medical professors, it can be said that he is already at the top of the doctor, but there are still Problems he can't solve.
Moreover, these can not solve the problem, not a few.
Back in the office, Liu Meng asked Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, how is the operation going? Did it work?"
"This water-based molecular anesthesia gel is still very easy to use, but the effect can only last for two weeks."
Zhao Heng said.
"This gel is still a bit expensive. If you keep using it, the patient can't afford it, right?"
Liu Meng asked with some concern.
"Look for the cause first. If it doesn't work, the only option is to do sacral nerve root damage to the patient."
Zhao Heng repeated what he had just said to Li Yang.
"If the sacral nerve root is damaged, the patient will permanently lose the X function. Although it is not fatal, it is still a big blow."
Liu Meng said.
Although she is a woman and cannot understand what the X function means to a man, it should be very important to think about it.
Otherwise, those eunuchs in ancient times would not be so persistent.
These modern men are not so attached to any medicinal materials or food that claim to be able to nourish and invigorate the kidney.
"Even if the sacral nerve root is damaged and there is no function in that area, I can live a normal life anyway."
Tian Zhen, who was standing aside, heard the conversation between the two, and said suddenly.
For many women, that kind of thing can be said to be dispensable.
Here comes the gender difference.
"The patient is still young, so let's try to protect it if we can."
Zhao Heng said.
As a man, although he is not keen on sex hunting, if he loses the normal functions of a man, it will definitely cause a great psychological loss.
Whether something exists and whether it is used are two completely different things.
It is a personal choice whether to use it or not, but if not, then I am afraid it can be characterized as a special physical disability.
"Doctor Zhao, we are going to have a party tonight, you should come too."
Tian Zhen said suddenly.
She and Xu Manni's girlfriends would go to a party every once in a while.
"Doctor Liu, you come too."
After a pause, Tian Zhen said to Liu Meng again.
Tian Zhen called Zhao Heng and Liu Meng, but he didn't call Li Yang, and the atmosphere immediately made Li Yang a little embarrassed.
"Doctor Li, this is a gathering of some of our girls, so I'm sorry."
Tian Zhen naturally saw Li Yang's embarrassment at the moment, so he said to Li Yang.
"Cough cough..."
Hearing this, Zhao Heng was a little embarrassed. Tian Zhen said it as if he was not a man.
"Doctor Zhao, Manny is going too."
Tian Zhensheng was afraid that Zhao Heng would not go, so he said again.
"alright."
Zhao Heng nodded helplessly. Those who dare to go are women, and he is the only man.
Forget it, when the time comes, you should eat and drink, and then just sit and play with your phone.
Zhao Heng thought in his heart.
Looking at the time, it was already [-]:[-]. Zhao Heng changed his clothes and came to the rest area of the operating room, waiting for Xu Manni to get off work.
After a while, Xu Manni changed her clothes and came out.
"Do I have to go to this party today?"
Zhao Heng asked Xu Manni.
It's all women's gatherings, so it doesn't make sense for him to go there.
"Only me, Zhenzhen, Sun Li, Liu Meng, are all acquaintances, why don't you mean it?"
Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Xu Manni smiled and said.
If it's another girl, I'm afraid I have to minimize my boyfriend's contact with other girls.
Of course, this is what Xu Manni felt relieved about her two girlfriends.
As for Liu Meng, he is also a doctor in Zhao Heng's ward after all, and he also works under Zhao Heng's subordinates, so it's okay to have a meal together and make contact.
"alright."
Zhao Heng nodded and said helplessly.
