Chapter 536: Expensive Treatment
Aztec city of Monterrey.
The medical airship of the Homo Sapiens Corps is moored on a nearby flat field.
A large number of ambulances bring patients with allergic inflammation here, and most of them are children aged 4~10 years.
The reason why they are all children aged 4~10 years old is because these children have relatively poor immunity.
Babies under the age of 4 did not have allergic inflammation because they consumed milk powder or fresh milk and did not eat genetically modified corn.
Physician Obregon of the Monterrey Public Hospital, fearing the patient's condition and in order to better explain the patient's condition, he personally came to the medical airship.
Although he had heard of the power of Homo sapiens and had seen various news reports and videos, it was only at this moment that Obregon felt the power of Homo sapiens.
The medical airship in front of him, which looks like a mountain, is just ordinary equipment in Homo sapiens.
The medical airship, which can carry a payload of 15,000 tons, uses high-strength, ultra-light materials and has 2,000 rooms inside the airship, of which 1,000 are wards.
It has a variety of advanced medical equipment and 450 professional medical staff, each of whom is an elite medical doctor.
Obregon accompanied a patient to a diagnostic room.
"Is the patient this little girl?" The female doctor asked in Spanish.
"Yes, I'm Obregon the patient's attending physician and work at the Monterrey Public Hospital." Obregon hastened to introduce himself.
The female doctor nodded slightly, and quickly observed the little girl's body.
Judging from the skin condition, there are large bands of blisters on the arms and forehead, somewhat similar to the symptoms of smallpox infection.
The female doctor's eyes quickly switched to the heat sensing mode and checked the patient's body surface temperature, which was 38.2~38.4 degrees Celsius.
Immediately after that, she adjusted to the magnetic field gaze mode and observed the magnetic field state of the patient's body.
"As expected, the body's immune system is so stressed that immune conditioning must be done immediately." The female doctor does not need to do other tests to make a preliminary judgment about the patient's condition.
Obregon asked worriedly, "She should be able to be treated, right?" ”
"Of course, this is just a minor issue."
"Minor questions?" Obregon didn't know how to answer, for a small hospital like theirs, this kind of allergic inflammation problem can be big or small.
The problem is that after the BT factor stimulates the body's immune system, if the patient's body is weak, it is easy to be carried away by complications.
In this allergic event, there are more complications, namely: skin erythema, chickenpox, dyspnea, high fever and body aches.
One of the most fatal complications is high fever and difficulty breathing, while chickenpox is disfiguring.
In the face of this situation, antibiotics and hormones are useless, but they are cooling patches and drugs that reduce inflammatory factors, which have some effects, and the rest can only be resisted by the body.
Of course, the reason for the death is that the local medical conditions are too poor, and the patient has other underlying diseases, such as congenital heart disease, asthma, etc., and this situation is basically a dead end.
The little girl in front of me has a slight asthma.
Obregon explained some of the basic conditions of the little girl, hoping to help the other party.
The female doctor picked up the little girl and put her on the bed of the terahertz scanner, then turned her head and shouted, "Lin Yang, scan it." ”
"Roger." The male doctor pressed the switch.
After a while, a holographic scan of the little girl's body appeared on the computer screen.
The female doctor took a look: "Her blood oxygen level is a little low, and the inflammation is still breaking out, and she has been injected with anti-inflammatory drugs before, but the anti-inflammatory effect is not very good." ”
"There is a case of misuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs in the local area, and it is estimated that the body has developed drug resistance." The male doctor guessed.
The female doctor picked up the internal communication watch and turned on the holographic projection: "Celluloid, please send a female and children's medical cabin over." ”
“OK。”
The little girl's father asked with a worried face, "Doctor, can it be treated?" ”
The female doctor nodded: "Yes, but you'd better be mentally prepared, the cost of treatment is quite a lot." ”
"I don't have much gold dollars, can I pay the pesos?" The little girl's father had a look of helplessness and pleading on his face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have gold yuan, you can work for our company and pay off the remaining debts, this time the treatment cost is 7660 gold yuan." The female doctor opened her mouth directly.
"7660 gold yuan?" Obregon was shocked.
At this time, the indirect exchange rate between gold dollars and American knives is about 1:35, and 7,660 gold dollars is more than 200,000 US dollars.
The female doctor smiled and said, "This is a systemic treatment, including asthma and skin repair, and the price is already very low. ”
Homo sapiens is not too polite to patients who are not employees of the company, medical costs are often very high, and many special medical programs, non-employee patients cannot apply.
The income of ordinary people in the Aztec region is not 500 dollars a month, and the debt of more than 200,000 US dollars cannot be repaid in a lifetime.
The male doctor smiled and comforted, "Don't worry! If you work in our company, the salary starts at 500 gold yuan, and you can pay it off in two years if you work hard. ”
Obregon opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.
Although Homo sapiens is suspected of taking advantage of the fire, the problem is that many patients and their families now have no other choice.
There was no trace of hesitation on the face of the little girl's father, and he neatly signed the loan medical contract and worked for Homo sapiens, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Many people try to find ways to become employees of Homo sapiens.
Not for a while.
Another female doctor, Celu, pushed a hospital bed into the diagnostic room.
After taking off the patient's clothes, they are placed directly in the medical cabin on the hospital bed.
The medical chamber has a large number of jelly-like tentacles popping up and then sticking to the patient's body.
Then there are tiny tubes made up of various artificial cells, which penetrate little by little from the surface of the body to the body.
These artificial cells will provide the patient with oxygen, water, electrolytes, glucose and special medications, as well as cleaning up the waste products excreted by the body.
Moreover, the medical cabin can also monitor the patient's physical condition in real time, and can automatically take first aid measures when the patient has an emergency.
In addition, non-invasive surgery can be performed using a medical pod, in which drugs are administered to specific organs or sites.
This thing can replace the work of most nurses and doctors, and there are not too many uncontrollable factors.
"That's okay?" Obregon stared at the medical chamber dumbfounded.
"Or else? Don't worry, she'll be back to good in 3 days. The diagnosing woman said as she looked at the next patient.
On the other hand, the female nurse celluloid first carried out conservative basic treatment according to the treatment plan prescribed by the two diagnosticians.
Obregon followed Dr. Celluloid to the ward, which already had three medical pods, and he glanced at it and saw that there were people lying inside.
Celluloid inserted the little girl's medical pod into her dedicated hospital bed, connecting wires, fibers, delivery pipes, and discharge pipes.
Then she instructed another colleague to bring some relevant drugs over.
She needed to use special medications, plus special auxiliary symbiotes in non-invasive surgery, to give the little girl's respiratory system a delicate treatment.
Obregon watched her operate on a device, and only felt that his decades of knowledge were somewhat insufficient, because he couldn't understand what celluloid was doing.
This is actually one of the differences between the current new human beings and the natural human beings, and if the natural human beings do not have the new human beings to lead the way, there is no way to understand many of the equipment and knowledge systems of the new human beings.
Through super learning ability, new humans have built a set of knowledge barriers.
The situation that Obregon encountered is only a small microcosm.
