In the operating room.

The young man is already lying on his side on the operating table, and the injection site of this anesthetic gel is the sacral ganglion located on the lumbar side, and the injection site must be very accurate, which cannot be mistaken.

Zhao Heng looked at the full English instruction manual brought by Gu Jia, this water-based molecular anesthetic gel can last for two weeks, if it is injected into the wrong part and paralyzes the nerves that should not be paralyzed, it will be a big deal.

For example, if the nerves that control bowel and bowel movements are paralyzed by mistake, the young man will be in a state of incontinence for up to two weeks, which is even more terrifying for a young man than his current illness.

The difference is a thousand miles, so every operation in the clinic must be done with caution.

Zhao Heng opened the silver-white metal box, and cold air instantly came out of the box, saying that this refrigerated metal box was a high-tech thing.

This thing used in space naturally can't be just packed in a box.

The most critical part of this box is the material, there is no electrical or chemical refrigeration structure in it, because in space, the more complex the structure, the more likely it is to make mistakes.

Therefore, the material used to make this kind of box is an adaptive refrigeration material, which can control the temperature in the box to a certain extent by adjusting the content of the material.

Just talking about this material, there are only a few places in the world where it can be produced.

"This is what you can take into space?"

Looking at the translucent, somewhat viscous in front of him, which looked like a slug, a mass of things in a biological tube, Li Yang couldn't help but say with some sighs.

Medical materials that can be brought into space naturally have special requirements, the most critical and fundamental two requirements, one is effect, and the other is stability.

Needless to say, the effect of medical materials used in the space environment must be good and immediate, otherwise, once something happens, it will be too late to deal with and treat.

This stability naturally means that various physical and chemical properties are stable, and they do not easily react with other substances, and when the temperature rises and falls, the properties do not change easily.

The effect is good, and many of the new drugs that have been researched now have a very good effect on first aid, but it is not easy to do it when it is stable.

Therefore, the most important thing about this aqueous molecular anesthetic gel is not the anesthetic drug, but the aqueous molecular gel, which 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, 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 pro-human substance, which can be naturally metabolized in the human body, which is simply a perfect drug sustained release material.

To put it simply, this gel can be used for anesthesia and analgesia in almost all parts of the body.

"It's just a little too expensive."

Li Yang said.

The price of such a walnut-sized gel is about 100,000 yuan, which is because it has begun to be applied on a large scale, so the price has been lowered.

"Everything plus space will be expensive."

Zhao Heng said.

According to his experience in preparing nanomaterials with Professor Li Hongwei, the cost of this anesthetic gel must only be a few thousand pieces.

In modern society, the cost of anything that can be industrially manufactured is beyond human imagination.

What's more, this gel is chemically synthesized, which is much simpler than the preparation of nanomaterials.

"Hopefully we'll be able to develop this gel in the future."

Li Yang sighed and said.

In this regard, the losses suffered in the past few decades are too great.

"Difficult."

Zhao Heng said.

Domestic R&D, that's really hard to describe.

Otherwise, it would not be said that it has been used for decades with several times or even dozens of times more imported people's things.

Engaging in research and development in China is a thankless task, but fortunately, the software developed by Zhao Heng and Wang Yaoqing is about medical treatment, which is very professional, and the follow-up use also requires special maintenance.

Otherwise, as long as it is software, it will be pirated to 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 instruments and said to Zhao Heng, "Doctor Zhao, you can start." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Next, Zhao Heng wore rubber gloves for surgery, and carefully took out this tube of water-based molecular gel worth nearly 100,000 yuan from the silver-white biological metal box.

This is something worth 100,000 yuan, but you can't miss it and drop it to the ground.

Not to mention that it falls to the ground, even if there is any slightest contamination of this gel, it cannot be injected into the human body, let alone injected around the nerves.

Forty minutes.

Zhao Heng and Li Yang completed the operation together.

"How are you feeling now?"

Zhao Heng asked the young man.

Because a very fine minimally invasive probe was used to inject the gel, there was no anesthesia on the guy, and the effect of this anesthetic gel should be felt immediately.

"Gone, that feeling gone!"

The guy felt it, the feeling of incomparable torture before had disappeared, and now he was like carrying a thousand pounds of heavy objects and putting down the relaxed feeling at once.

The guy felt a sense of relief at the moment, this strange disease, he was tortured by life, and it was worse than death.

"Doctor, how long will this last?"

The young man asked Zhao Heng very nervously.

"This is currently the world's most advanced aqueous molecular gel, which can maintain a continuous anesthetic effect for two weeks."

Zhao Heng said.

This water-based molecular anesthetic gel worth 100,000 yuan, although 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 40,000 yuan.

If you have to use this aqueous molecular anesthetic gel all the time to maintain the effect, then the price of the next aqueous molecular anesthetic gel must be the original price, that is, 100,000.

100,000 in two weeks, 200,000 in a month, and 2,400,000 in a year.

In other words, in order to maintain the effect of this treatment, it will cost 2.4 million yuan a year for treatment, and it is not the kind of radical cure.

Nowadays, the treatment of many clinical diseases has fallen into this medical cost dilemma.

There are medical treatments and effects, but the cost of this treatment is completely beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Doctor.

Will there be this fee waiver next time? ”

The young man asked Zhao Heng very nervously.

This time the cost is 40,000, and the guy originally had some savings, so he can still get the 40,000, but if he wants 100,000 next time, it will be a nerve.

As for the back, he can't afford to get out.

"During this time, I will try to find the cause of the disease, and if the cause is found, I may be able to treat it radically, so that I don't need to maintain it in the future."

Zhao Heng thought about it and said, with such a rare disease, he didn't dare to pack a ticket, so he could only say that he did his best.

"Thank you, thank you, doctor."

The guy said very gratefully.

Although there is no cure, a solution has been found.

As for the cost of follow-up treatment, we can only find a way later.

Coming out of the operating room, Zhao Heng felt not easy.

100,000 yuan a week, how many people can afford such an expensive treatment cost?

As for the guy's illness, Zhao Heng actually thought of a way that was not a solution.

If you really can't find the cause, that's the only way.

"Doctor Zhao, have you thought of a cure?"

Li Yang looked at Zhao Heng and said, 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.

This neurological disease, with Zhao Heng's ability, must have thought of a radical cure.

"Yes, there is, but the cost is too great."

Zhao Heng frowned and said, unless he had to, he would not tell the guy about this radical cure.

】

"It can't be a nerve root destruction, right?"

Li Yang thought for a while and said.

"If you really can't find the cause, then the only way to do sacral nerve root damage surgery is to do it, but after this surgery, the patient will permanently lose X ability."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

X ability is such a thing, it is very important to say important, but it is not important to say that it is not important, depending on whether you can use it or not.

For people who have been singles for a lifetime, this ability is basically equal to nothing.

But this guy is very handsome, and he definitely won't beat a single, and he doesn't have x ability, which still has a great impact.

"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 less pitiful.

It is simply an impossible task to find out the cause of the disease from scratch and to come up with a cure for it.

"Try it."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

There are many strange diseases that cannot be cured in this world, and not every time Zhao Heng can find a way, he has integrated the experience of many doctors, and can treat many critical and incurable diseases, but the premise is that this disease has to be in his "experience pool".

If he didn't have a disease in his experience, he could just try to treat it.

Sometimes he also thinks that it would be nice if his golden finger was the kind of "universal solution".

There is a saying that when manpower is poor, even if he integrates the experience of all the great doctors in the entire Oriental Hospital, and also goes to the medical university to learn the experience of many medical professors, it can be said that he is already standing at the apex of doctors, but there are still problems that he can't solve.

Moreover, these cannot solve the problem, and there are not a few.

Back in the office, Liu Meng asked Zhao Heng, "Doctor Zhao, how is the operation, is it effective?" ”

"This aqueous molecular anesthetic gel is still very easy to use, but this effect only lasts for two weeks."

Zhao Heng said.

"This gel is still a bit expensive, and if you use it all the time, patients can't afford it, right?"

Liu Meng asked with some concern.

"Let's find out the cause first, if it really doesn't work, we can only do sacral nerve root destruction surgery for the patient."

Zhao Heng said what he had just said to Li Yang again.

"After sacral nerve root damage, the patient will permanently lose X function, although it is not fatal, but it is also a big blow."

Liu Meng said.

Although she is a woman and can't understand what the X function means to a man, it should be important to think about it.

Otherwise, those eunuchs in ancient times would not have been so persistent.

These modern men will not be so obsessed with any medicinal herbs or food that claims to nourish and nourish the kidneys.

"Even if the sacral nerve root is damaged and there is no function in that area, I can still live a normal life."

Tian Zhen, who was standing on the side, heard the conversation between the two people and suddenly said.

For many women, that kind of thing can be said to be dispensable.

This shows that the gender gap is coming.

"The patient is still young, so let's try to protect it as much as possible."

Zhao Heng said.

As a man, although he is not keen on color hunting, if he loses the normal function of a man, it will definitely cause a great psychological deficit.

There are things, whether they are used or not, these are completely different things.

Whether or not it is a personal choice, but if it is not, then I am afraid that it can be characterized as a special physical disability.

"Doctor Zhao, we're going to a party in the evening, so let's go with you."

Tian Zhen said suddenly.

She and Xu Manni have a few girlfriends, and every once in a while, they go to a party.

"Doctor Liu, you come along."

After a pause, Tian Zhen said to Liu Meng again.

Tian Zhen called Zhao Heng and Liu Meng, not Li Yang, and this atmosphere suddenly made Li Yang a little embarrassed.

"Dr. Li, this is a gathering of several of our girls, so I'm sorry."

Tian Zhen naturally saw Li Yang's embarrassment at this moment, so he said to Li Yang.

"Ahem.

”

Hearing this, Zhao Heng was a little embarrassed, Tian Zhen said this as if he was not a man.

"Dr. Zhao, Mannie is also going."

Tian Zhen was afraid that Zhao Heng would not go, so he said again.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded helplessly, the people who dared to go were women, just him.

Forget it, when the time comes, it's time to eat and drink, and then it's just a matter of sitting and playing with your phone.

Zhao Heng thought in his heart.

Looking at the time, it was already five twenty, Zhao Heng changed his clothes, came to the rest area of the operating room, and waited 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 meeting today?"

Zhao Heng asked Xu Manni.

It's all women's parties, and there's no point in him going.

"Just me, Zhenzhen, Sun Li, and Liu Meng, they are all acquaintances, what are you embarrassed about?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Xu Manni smiled and said.

If you change to another girl, I'm afraid you have to minimize the contact between your boyfriend and other girls.

Of course, this is also Xu Manni's reassurance to the two girlfriends.

As for Liu Meng, he is also a doctor in Zhao Heng's ward, and he also works under Zhao Heng, so it's okay to have a meal together and get in touch.

"Okay."

Zhao Heng nodded and said helplessly.
