Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 270 Walking on Thin Ice
"Doctor Zhao, this stem cell treatment is good for everything, but the cost is too high. If the cost can be reduced, there will really be no disadvantages."

Qu Xiaofeng sighed and said that as a doctor, what he most hopes to appear is of course a treatment method with good effect and reasonable fee, but the actual situation is that the cost of any treatment method with good effect is the most expensive.

The main reason is that the development of new drugs in the world is almost all developed by private consortiums, which determines the profit-seeking nature of new drugs.

Just like stem cell therapy, although it is not like a new drug, but because the equipment is expensive, the cost of each treatment is quite high.

"Stem cell therapy is an individualized treatment, and it is difficult to reduce the cost in the short term."

Zhao Heng said.

Stem cell therapy not only requires equipment, but also has high requirements for the attending doctor. Neither of these can be taken out casually. Therefore, the treatment cost cannot be reduced in the short term, and there is no way around it.

"Yeah, such a good treatment method, the possibility of promotion in the short term is too low."

Qu Xiaofeng also said with a sigh.

Just the current medical equipment can only be regarded as the most basic equipment for stem cell therapy, which cost Dongfang Hospital tens of millions five years ago.

Few hospitals can afford such a large investment. More importantly, having equipment is only the first step, and the next step is to train corresponding professional doctors. This requires even higher requirements for doctors.

"Cell therapy is the trend of the future, and the work we are doing now can be regarded as laying the foundation."

Zhao Heng said.

With the development of science and technology, it is becoming more and more difficult for universal medicines that can cure all diseases to appear.

The current new drugs and brand-new treatment methods are all developing in the direction of individualization and specialization. Of course, the cost is also getting more and more expensive.

Such a development trend is actually somewhat abnormal, but driven by capital, there is no way around it.

For example, the direction of many pharmaceutical companies in researching new drugs is not to pursue a one-time cure, but to develop in the direction of long-term continuous medication to control symptoms.

"I really don't know what the future of medical care will look like."

Speaking of this, Qu Xiaofeng suddenly said worriedly.

Illness is becoming more and more incurable. This is not only the feeling of the majority of patients, but also the feeling of Qu Xiaofeng as a doctor.

Thinking in another way, if he had some disease himself, he would not be able to afford the treatment costs of several million.

"The future direction of medical development must be refined and individualized. In any case, stem cell therapy will definitely become a very important and common treatment in the future."

Seeing Qu Xiaofeng suddenly worried, Zhao Heng couldn't help smiling, and said to encourage Qu Xiaofeng.

"Well, this is true. No matter how the future develops, at least the work we are doing now is still very promising."

Qu Xiaofeng nodded, the future is too far away, it is more important to grasp the present.

"Doctor Qu, I will trouble you to go to the ward to take samples from the patients in the afternoon."

Zhao Heng said.

In Zhao Heng's view, Qu Xiaofeng has great potential for development. Although he has been on the bench in the pathology department for many years, Qu Xiaofeng is not the kind of person who goes to work by fishing. So, after all these years, Qu Xiaofeng's professional quality has been improving all the time.

At present, Zhao Heng picked up the cutting-edge and high-end technical means of cell fate regulation from Professor Li Hongwei, and only Qu Xiaofeng, who has rich experience and excellent professional quality, can master one or two.

No matter how powerful Zhao Heng was, he was not superhuman. Without a capable helper, he couldn't do many things by himself.

As far as modern medicine is concerned, a good team is very important.

"Well, no trouble, Dr. Zhao, I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Qu Xiaofeng said very seriously.

After leaving the stem cell culture room, Zhao Heng returned to the ward.

Before returning to the office, Zhao Heng saw that the father of the poisoned and unconscious girl was sitting on the bench at the door of the office, as if waiting for him.

"Doctor Zhao."

Seeing Zhao Heng coming, the girl's father immediately stood up.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Heng asked.

"Doctor Zhao, I don't know what the next treatment plan is?"

The girl's father asked politely.

"Currently, patients can use neural stem cell transplantation to promote awakening. Of course, the cost of this treatment is a bit high, and this must be made clear to you in advance."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

"Doctor Zhao, please don't worry about the cost. Although I'm just a university teacher, I can still afford the medical expenses."

The girl's father said slowly.

"Doctor Zhao, I wonder if the doctors from Tongshi Fifth Hospital have approached you?"

After a pause, the girl's father asked in a very worldly way.

"Well, I've looked for it and learned about the patient's condition."

Zhao Heng also answered directly, and for him, there was nothing to hide.

"Doctor Zhao, do you think I'm too aggressive?"

The girl's father pushed his glasses and asked Zhao Heng seriously.

Hearing this kind of question, Zhao Heng was a little confused. He really didn't know how to answer this kind of question.

No matter what your standpoint, such a question is difficult to answer.

"As a doctor, my duty is to treat illnesses and save lives. As for other things, there are naturally professional people to do them."

Zhao Heng thought for a while before speaking slowly.

"With Dr. Zhao's words, I feel relieved."

The girl's father, a middle-aged man who looked very elegant, nodded, as if he was very satisfied with Zhao Heng's professional attitude.

He was worried before that Zhao Heng was too young and would lose his professional attitude because of this, but now it seems that he is overthinking.

After saying this, the girl's father left.

The girl's father left, but Zhao Heng fell into deep thought.

This matter touched him a lot.

Just now, Zhao Heng didn't say anything to be forgiving and forgiving. The facts of this matter were already very clear.

This also sounded a wake-up call to Zhao Heng. As a doctor, besides medical risks, there are other risks.

As far as this matter is concerned, if Zhao Heng stands up rashly and speaks for the doctor Wei Xiang in front of his family, then it is very likely that the blame will be transferred to Zhao Heng in an instant, which will be a disaster for him.

Be cautious all the time, Zhao Heng couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Being a doctor is so tiring, this is the current situation of the majority of doctors.

I don't know when this situation will change.
