Chapter 180: The Problem of Pratt & Whitney
The implantation of this neuraxial analgesic device is a joint project of anesthesia and oncology, so Li Haiyang also accompanied Zhao Heng throughout the whole process, but said that the main decision of this review is on Zhao Heng's side.
"Dr. Zhao, if only you were from our oncology department."
Li Haiyang accompanied Zhao Heng and waited for the people from Sino Company to come over, and suddenly said with feelings.
"Is it because there have been more patients coming for this surgery recently?"
Hearing Li Haiyang say this, Zhao Heng asked.
"It's more than that, it's just a rush to the top. Based on the current potential patient volume, these patients may not be able to be processed in 10 years. ”
Li Haiyang said with great emotion.
If it weren't for the medical industry, I wouldn't have understood that the incidence of this cancer is simply alarming.
And some cancers, once discovered, are already intermediate or advanced.
For patients with advanced cancer, the main treatment is analgesia to improve the quality of life of patients in advanced stages.
Therefore, as soon as the project of neuraxial analgesia device implantation was launched, it immediately detonated the circle of advanced cancer pain treatment.
Every day, a large number of terminally ill cancer patients come here.
"Wouldn't it be nice to train a few more doctors who can do this surgery."
Seeing Li Haiyang's distressed look, Zhao Heng couldn't help but say.
"It's easier said than done, you must know that the implantation of this neuraxial analgesic device is to be punctured on the spine, not to mention that this puncture is not a one-time time, this silicone catheter is to stay in the medullary cavity for a long time."
"Therefore, it is very important to choose the location of the puncture. This technique can be practiced in a short period of time, but experience definitely takes time to accumulate. ”
Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Li Haiyang shook his head slightly and said.
The idea of training doctors who can implant neuraxial analgesic devices in a large number of patients in a short period of time is simply not possible.
Originally, the implantation of this neuraxial analgesic device is a very cutting-edge and high-end operation.
"Let's bring out as many people as we can, and we'll all have a little easier then."
Zhao Heng thought about it and said.
He doesn't have three heads and six arms, let alone a doppelganger, so he can't do the surgery for so many patients alone.
"For now, that's all it can be."
Li Haiyang nodded and said helplessly.
Sometimes this is the helplessness of doctors, who have developed better treatments, but for various reasons, such treatments do not benefit all patients.
While the two were chatting, two people suddenly came in from outside the office.
Zhao Heng saw that it was Gu Jia, and there was a middle-aged bald engineer.
Today's Gu Jia seems to have been dressed up with heart, wearing a professional skirt and high heels, and her face is painted with makeup, which looks very capable and neat.
It seems to be different from what Zhao Heng saw before.
"Dr. Lee."
"Old classmate, meet again."
Gu Jia smiled and greeted Li Haiyang and Zhao Heng.
At this time, a nurse from the oncology department came into the doctor's office and said something to Li Haiyang.
"Doctor Zhao, a few more hospitalized patients have come, and the review here will be handed over to you, and when the report is released, it will be directly put on my desk, and I will hand it over to Director Liu at that time."
It seems that there is something in the oncology department, Li Haiyang said to Zhao Heng.
"yes, okay."
Zhao Heng nodded.
Li Haiyang glanced at Gu Jia, nodded at her, and walked out of the office.
"Doctor Zhao, meet again, I got the plug-in you said last time, let's take a look at it after we finish this."
Gu Jia hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Gong, a middle-aged bald engineer, said to Zhao Heng with some earnestness.
In the cardiac surgery before, because of the problem of pacemakers, Zhao Heng and this Liu Gong said an idea, that is, to specialize in the study of a plug-in for pacemakers, which can be used when operating on patients with pacemakers.
Unexpectedly, Liu Gong did listen to this, and soon after returning to the company, he told the company's senior management about the project, and received strong support from the senior management and set up a project.
"Yes, you can."
Zhao Heng nodded, he was also very impressed by this middle-aged bald engineer Liu Gong.
To put it bluntly, this Liu Gong is a bit of a technical nerd.
When it comes to technical things, it's a bit of a waste of sleep.
Seeing Zhao Heng and middle-aged balding engineer Liu Gong chatting hotly, Gu Jia couldn't help but smile.
Recently, Gu Jia has been in the company, and it can be said that he has been in the mix.
Not only was the manager Huang Zhongsheng very polite to him, but since she was in charge of the business contact of Dongfang Hospital, the company's senior management also began to pay attention to her.
It can be said that Gu Jia's career rise was opened all of a sudden.
Of course, Gu Jia has not forgotten that she can have all this now because of Zhao Heng.
Although in essence, Zhao Heng only helped her unintentionally, in Gu Jia's opinion, Zhao Heng can be said to be a noble person in his life.
"Liu Gong, is there any possibility that this neuraxial analgesic implant device will reduce the cost in a short period of time?"
Zhao Heng looked at Liu Gong fiddling with the sample and couldn't help asking.
"Doctor Zhao, this is very difficult, this device, in fact, the most important thing is this microcomputer pump, this microcomputer pump controls the input of the drug."
"In terms of programming, it's not too difficult, but we can't produce the special chips used in this kind of microcomputer pump yet, so we can only rely on imports."
Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Liu Gong shook his head slightly and said with some sighs.
"So is there a possibility of independent research and development or substitution?"
Zhao Heng asked again.
The reason why he asked, of course, was that if he could independently develop or have an alternative method, then the cost of neuraxial analgesia implantation could be reduced a lot, so that more advanced cancer patients could afford it.
"At the moment, it's hard to do."
Liu Gong still shook his head and said.
"yes, I see."
Zhao Heng nodded and said calmly.
"I have already applied for the maximum concession with the head office."
Hearing the conversation between Zhao Heng and Liu Gong, Gu Jia suddenly said to Zhao Heng.
The concession that Gu Jia said here is actually a means of sales.
As a commercial medical company, Sino naturally puts making money first, but sometimes it takes some means to make money, and the most important thing is to maintain contact with customers.
Therefore, there is also a sales method of making profits.
However, this kind of sales method is generally used as a last resort.
Gu Jia did this, it can be said that he had already handed over the old bottom in advance.
"Hmm."
Hearing Gu Jia's words, Zhao Heng nodded.
This medical cost can naturally be reduced a little.
