Chapter 275: Fortunately, there is medical insurance
Returning to the ward from the stem cell culture room, Zhao Heng came to the bedside of the "Shuren" patient.
"Doctor."
Seeing Zhao Heng coming over, the middle-aged man sitting on the hospital bed with his legs hanging down to the side of the bed hurriedly said.
"How are you feeling today?"
Zhao Heng said with a routine inquiry.
"I feel okay, doctor, can I still have surgery?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but ask.
After being hospitalized, he clearly felt that this place was different from the hospital he was in before.
The doctors and nurses here are more friendly to him, not at all like the hospital where he was before, just fiddling with people like objects.
Although he has had so many surgeries, looking at his current appearance, middle-aged men still want to have surgery.
After going through so much torture, he still didn't give up hope, and if it had been someone else, he might have given up a long time ago.
In fact, when he had his seventh operation, the attending doctor at the time suggested to him that he could have a complete amputation, so that he would not have to suffer from such multiple recurrences in the future.
But no matter how painful and tormented he is, he doesn't want to become a disabled person, which is what he has always insisted on.
"In your case, you have already had seven surgeries before, and if you do another surgery, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and said.
"Doctor, am I cured?"
When the middle-aged man heard Zhao Heng say this, his expression suddenly darkened, but this was also what the doctor said to him when he was seeing him in other hospitals.
"If you just do the surgery to remove the vegetation, then it will still recur in the future, and now I am considering giving you an epithelial stem cell transplant, and after the removal surgery, transplant the epithelial stem cells, so that the chance of recurrence can be greatly reduced."
Zhao Heng said slowly.
"Doctor, is this different from a skin graft?"
Hearing Zhao Heng talk about epithelial stem cell transplantation, the middle-aged man asked with some doubts.
As the saying goes, a long-term illness becomes a doctor, and after a long illness, middle-aged men have somewhat learned some medical knowledge, especially about their own disease.
Every time he had an excision, the doctor would tell him that after the excision, he would have to have a skin graft.
Skin grafting, also known as skin grafting, is also well understood.
But every time I have a skin graft, it won't take long for it to recur.
"To put it simply, ordinary skin grafting is like changing the shallowest layer of bark for a tree, while epithelial stem cell transplantation is to change the bark from the inside out."
Zhao Heng thought about it and said a somewhat popular analogy.
"Doctor, after this stem cell transplant is done, will it really not recur?"
Hearing Zhao Heng say this, the middle-aged man's heart rekindled hope, maybe after doing it this time, he wouldn't recur?
"With current medical technology, epithelial stem cell transplantation is the treatment with the lowest chance of recurrence."
Zhao Heng said truthfully that he has always been very pragmatic when talking to patients, not exaggerating the effect, nor deliberately exaggerating the severity of the condition.
For sick people, their psychology is in a very sensitive and fragile state, in this state, to give the patient hope, but this hope can not be given too much and too absolutely, the scale of which requires a long time of work to grasp.
To be a good doctor, in addition to superb skills, you must also have attainments in psychology.
"Doctor, what about the cost?"
The middle-aged man was very happy to hear that his illness was hopeful, but he was still a little worried about the cost.
"You don't have to worry about this, epithelial stem cell culture is the lowest cost of stem cell therapy, and you have medical insurance, and you can also reduce some costs."
Zhao Heng said.
The best thing about this patient is that he has medical insurance, although he has been sick for many years, his original unit has always bought medical insurance for him, which is still very good.
However, in general, only state-owned enterprises and the government can do this.
This patient is an employee of a state-owned enterprise.
"Thank you, doctor, thank you."
The middle-aged man nodded, he felt that the doctor in front of him was different from all the doctors he had met before.
Moreover, since he was hospitalized yesterday, he also inquired about Zhao Heng, and everyone who asked said that Zhao Heng was the best doctor in this hospital.
Therefore, he was also glad in his heart to meet a good doctor like Zhao Heng.
After explaining the condition and treatment plan to the middle-aged man, Zhao Heng came to Sun Xinxin's bedside.
Sun Xinxin was sitting cross-legged on the hospital bed at this time with her mobile phone to hit the king pesticide, and when she saw Zhao Heng coming, she immediately put down her mobile phone and couldn't wait to ask: "Doctor Zhao, can I have a second operation?" ”
During this time, Sun Xinxin can be said to have basically fully recovered, as a top athlete, the first half of her life was in high-intensity training, so if she suddenly idle, Sun Xinxin is still very uncomfortable.
In her words, it is idle and panicked, as if the bones are rusty.
"How are you feeling today?"
Seeing Sun Xinxin's impatientness, Zhao Heng smiled and asked.
"I feel like I've fully recovered, Dr. Zhao, is it possible to have surgery?"
Sun Xinxin asked a little impatiently.
She wished she could have surgery right away and recover right away so that she could continue to train.
You know, there are only two years left until the next Winter Olympics, and if she can train again this year, she may be able to quickly return to her peak level and compete in the next Winter Olympics.
For every skier, participating in the Winter Olympics is the most important thing.
Moreover, the athletic career of top athletes is very short, and in general, due to physical strength and injuries, skiers have to retire at the age of thirty at most.
Therefore, as a skier, the Winter Olympics, which are only held once every four years, can basically only participate in them twice.
"Your body is recovering well, the operation is scheduled for tomorrow, so rest well today."
Zhao Heng said.
For Sun Xinxin's second operation, he had already made arrangements, and Liu Ziang's side, he also said in advance, and this surgical arrangement was made several days ago.
However, I only told Sun Xinxin today to prevent her from being too excited these days, because her mood affected her rest, which affected the operation.
"Really?"
Hearing that the operation would be performed tomorrow, Sun Xinxin's face was excited, and even Sun Xinxin's mother, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was a little excited.
