Chapter 8 High-Cost Medical Care

"What's the trouble?" Andy looks at Dr. Yuri, hoping that the white-faced man will give him an explanation.

The other party was not in the slightest hurry, and seemed to be thinking while writing on the paper, and it was not until two minutes later that he made a decision.

"You need to do a full physical examination, I think your problem is more complicated, at first I also considered whether it was a simple gastrointestinal problem or an allergic reaction, but from the information you Pip-Boy prompted, it is by no means that simple. If you really want to cure the disease completely, then you must not be stingy, you understand what I said, right? Andy sat on the side and frowned, wondering how the hospital of the Followers of the Apocalypse was so good for money...... From the moment you enter the door, you have never left the key point of whether you have money or not.

"That.... How much? Dr. Yuri pushed his glasses as if he were in a state of mind when talking about the price.

"Oh, yes, we have an advanced automatic doctor in our hospital, this machine has been trained by my own hands, the performance is excellent, the probability of diagnostic error is not higher than 2 per thousand, plus my professional skills as an aid, I can ensure that your diagnosis will be 100% completely accurate. But I believe you also understand this problem, the use of this machine is expensive, in most cases I can only use it for those who pay for it, this is to avoid a waste of resources, within a radius of a few hundred miles I dare to say that there will be no place with stronger medical capacity than here....." He chattered a lot, Andy refined the main points, that is, the automatic doctor will start with 500 caps, and after the diagnosis results come down, he will have to pay 1000 caps for the diagnosis, After that, the treatment will really begin, and as for the total cost of the final treatment, Dr. Yuri claims that the exact amount will be calculated based on the diagnosis.

Andy glanced at the cap of the Pip-Boy total, sighed, and decided to bleed this time.

"Okay, okay, I guess I can afford it, let's get started." Dr. Yuri smiled with satisfaction, and he beckoned out the door, and a female assistant in a white coat and a mercenary with a gun on their backs walked in, and the two of them briefly confirmed their target with Dr. Yuri, and then helped Andy, who was shaking as he walked, to leave Dr. Yuri's office.

The three of them quickly went up to the third floor, and after opening a room with a high-level electromagnetic lock, Andy saw what looked like a metal hollow cylinder in the room, and a terminal was connected to it.

"Come on, sir, take off your coat." The female assistant walked to the side of the terminal and began to operate, the metal cylinder immediately opened left and right to reveal the space inside, and there were many mechanical arms with different functions exposed from it, looking like an iron virgin, which was terrifying.

The mercenary shoved Andy into it almost roughly, and Andy struggled a few times to look at the female assistant on the side and questioned.

"What are you doing here? Why did a guy with a gun come and get me when I came to see a doctor? Why didn't Dr. Yuri come? The female assistant first motioned to the mercenary to stop pushing roughly, and then answered Andy's questions one by one.

"Sorry sir, this machine may be worth more than you expected, and if it breaks down for various reasons, it will be an unbearable thing for both you and us, so proper safety is still necessary. After the machine is turned on, long-term idling may have an impact on the data calibration of the machine, so we have to start as soon as possible, please rest assured, there will be no problems, Dr. Yuri will operate the machine through the terminal connected to this place and monitor the situation here. Andy pushed the mercenary away and signaled with a fierce look that he would go, and the mercenary let go and took two steps back.

He looked at the machine, and wanted to say that this automatic doctor, who was treasured by the Hoover Dam followers of the Apocalypse doctors, had already seen something countless times more powerful elsewhere, but no one believed it at all, and it didn't make sense to say it.

Slowly walked into this iron can, the metal shell closed automatically, and several mechanical arms immediately fixed Andy, some of the mechanical arms with needles at the end pierced Andy's body, and some of them were attached to Andy's body and didn't know what they were detecting, and even an arm with a strange flash machine at the end appeared on the top of his head.... Scan?

This feeling can be said to be very bad, I don't know why, there is no light in the automatic doctor..... It was as if the man had been stuffed into a meat grinder, and if the machine suddenly went crazy and dismantled itself, Andy would have little power to resist at the moment.

Half an hour later, Andy finally left the machine. Female assistants and mercenaries were still standing outside waiting.

"Very good sir, everything is going well, and then you need to pay for the diagnosis and treatment first, a total of 1,500 bottle caps." Andy endured the pain and paid the money, thinking that he must get this disease cured quickly, otherwise nothing can be done.

Returning to Dr. Yuri's office, according to the prompt of the female assistant, Dr. Yuri has now seen the medical examination data reported by the automatic doctor through the terminal at this moment.

"Hmm....." Dr. Yuri looked at the terminal for a moment, then came over to Andy.

"I'm sure you've had a lot of implant surgeries, and the medical reports are full of reports of extra objects in your body, especially about your subcutaneous armor, no wonder you look like you walk the wasteland a lot without wearing armor. I have to say that you surprised me a little, whether it is your physical ability or your financial means, you can see that the doctor who does the implant surgery is very skilled and ingenious, I guess you have found a fairly professional colleague in New California to help you, who is he? Maybe I know him. Andy felt a little helpless, and stood in the automatic doctor for half an hour, and his already uncomfortable body was now even more uncomfortable.

"Dr. Goddard.... Are you satisfied? Hurry up and get me right, and you can chat like this for as long as you want. Doctor Yuri had an incredulous look on his face when he heard this.

"Indeed, although he is not a doctor but a great scientist, as the No. 2 in the NcR scientific community, as long as he has the right machine in his hand to complete this complex operation, it will be a piece of cake. It's unbelievable that you're in a relationship with him, who is notoriously grumpy, gloomy, and jealous..... Okay, without further ado, let's go straight to the conclusion. The printer next to him slowly spit out a piece of paper, and Dr. Yuri took it out and handed it to Andy.

He looked at the complex tabular data on it, and he couldn't have seen anything before, but now he could finally concentrate on seeing something after Diana helped him adjust his brain.

What is written in the diagnosis form can be summed up in one sentence: the patient's body has a vicious reaction to excessive meat intake due to some unusual genetic fragments, and this reaction has a knock-on effect with some implants that lead to the current situation.

Dr. Yuri added it with his hands behind his back.

"Sometimes this happens, and there is a small chance that the intense radiation contamination in the wasteland will cause some strange changes in the human body's genes, most of the time the changes are simple and harmful, but sometimes they seem amazing. I've had a patient with extra fingers on both hands and feet, and a patient with a third leg full of scales, and you don't know how horrible it looks...."Andy sat on the side with the list, but didn't pay attention to what Dr. Yuri said, he just remembered that Diana had injected him with a directional mutant serum when he was in the nursery, and she had already told Andy about how it would affect his feeding tendency. This will make him more fond of eating meat and vegetarian food, but after leaving the nursery, Andy didn't feel any real change at all, who would have thought that he would actually make such a show for himself after a non-fat meal.

"Doctor Yuri, in that case, isn't it time to talk about the cure?"

"Although the cause of your disease is a bit complicated, it is actually very simple, you only need to inject some radiance and take a few baths with diluent, I believe your problem will be solved.... If you don't care about paying extra for treatment, I can help you with it, so you don't have to queue up on the first floor. Andy shook his head when he heard this, he didn't want to eliminate the directional mutation effect directly.

"I hope there is a compromise that will solve my current physical problems and not change my genetic mutations." Dr. Yuri bowed his head slightly, his glasses glowing with light.

"Oh, you're going to give me a problem, I think.... I can do it, even though it's challenging. But before that, we have to calculate the bills, otherwise things may not go so happily and smoothly, of course, this is certainly not a big problem for you, after all, the cost of so many implant surgeries must be a big number, this money is just a small problem for you. ”
