Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 272 Gene Targeted Therapy?

"Yes, yes, this is it."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly.

"Doctor, can I have another operation?"

After a pause, the middle-aged man asked again.

He has had seven operations before, and he already has a deep fear of surgery, but now his legs are covered with "branches" and the skin is chapped. If these "branches" are not removed by surgery, It is growing all the time, and it involves the nerves. It can be said that every moment is painful.

"In your case, you have already had so many operations, if you do another operation, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. How about you stay here first, and use some medicine and treatment to relieve your symptoms. Let's wait and see if there is any treatment that can cure the root cause."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

For this patient, the difficulty of the operation is not high. It is nothing more than removing the growths growing on the skin surface of the legs, and then skin grafting.

But this kind of surgery, this patient has done seven times before, and if he repeats it again, it will still recur in the future. If there is another recurrence, then there may be a great risk of amputation.

"Thank you doctor, thank you."

The middle-aged man said gratefully that Zhao Heng was able to take him in, which was beyond his expectation. Originally, he thought, if Zhao Heng didn't take him in, then he would have to go back to his hometown, and don't think about it again in the future. Healed.

The big deal, as a doctor said before, when there is really no other way, you can directly amputate.

However, this is also a choice that has no other choice. Any person must be very unwilling to accept the choice of amputation.

"Take him to the hospital."

Zhao Heng said to Tian Zhen who was standing beside him.

"Okay, Doctor Zhao."

Tian Zhen nodded, and took the middle-aged man and his wife to the hospital together.

The "tree man" patient went to the hospital, but Zhao Heng was lost in thought.

For verrucous epidermal dysplasia, there is no special treatment in the medical field at present. Generally, the treatment method of warts is referred to. When the warts are still relatively small, electric drying and scraping can be used to eliminate relatively small warts.

When the warts and vegetations on the surface of the skin grow relatively large, liquid nitrogen freezing, laser and microwave treatment can be used, and even X-ray irradiation can be used. However, excessive X-ray irradiation will cause great damage to the skin. May cause cancer.

That is to say, the current treatment of verrucous epidermal dysplasia is based on the idea of ​​excision of the vegetation.

The root cause of verrucous epidermal dysplasia is the abnormal expression of the EVER17/EVER1 gene on human chromosome 2.

Therefore, if you want to cure the root cause, you can only try gene-directed targeted therapy to directly change the expression of the EVER17/EVER1 gene on chromosome 2 to fundamentally solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng feels that in the experience he has picked up so far, there is no in-depth research on gene-targeted therapy.

Most of them are just in a state of understanding, and if they want to be treated, it may be beyond their capabilities.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng thought that this time, he might have to find an authoritative professor in gene-targeted therapy to obtain the corresponding gene-targeted therapy technology like he did with Professor Li Hongwei.

It just so happened that Zhao Heng was going to Professor Li Hongwei's place tomorrow to conduct an experiment with Professor Li Hongwei. Then he could ask Professor Li Hongwei who is the professor who has the most in-depth research on gene-targeted therapy in Beishi.

After a while, the middle-aged man came back from the hospital, and Zhao Heng issued a doctor's order for treatment.

Inside the office.

Tian Zhen couldn't help but said to Zhao Heng: "Doctor Zhao, today's patient has a difficult and miscellaneous disease that other doctors can't handle. Treating these patients is too exhausting."

Ever since he came to the ward, Tian Zhen saw that Zhao Heng's patients were basically not admitted by other hospitals, or patients who could not be treated at all.

Dealing with these patients can be said to consume a lot of energy for doctors, and even a little thankless.

"There is no way. If I don't accept these patients, no one will accept them."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled gently and said.

In fact, clinically, there are many patients who are thankless for doctors. These patients either have changed to rare diseases or have intractable diseases.

For these patients, some doctors may not necessarily choose to see them.

Because if it is a consultation, then the painstaking treatment may not be effective, and it may have a counterproductive effect.

The work of a doctor is inherently complicated, and some doctors are even more unwilling to cause trouble for themselves.

"It would be too tiring to specialize in the treatment of these difficult and miscellaneous diseases."

Tian Zhen said with some emotion.

Although it is said that these things always have to be done by someone, but choosing to do these things is destined to be out of proportion to the pay and benefits.

"There must be someone to do these things, and don't you think it is particularly challenging to treat these patients, and you will feel a sense of accomplishment after they are cured?"

Zhao Heng smiled again and said.

"Doctor Zhao, your pursuit is too high."

Tian Zhen said.

Of course, there are doctors like Zhao Heng. Many old doctors of the previous generation are like this.

But among young doctors, there are relatively few people who think like Zhao Heng.

To put it simply, today's young people may pay more attention to such things as cost performance and salary prospects when it comes to work.

"People have to pursue something, otherwise what's the difference with salted fish?"

Zhao Heng said.

This means that he can say it now, but he can't say such a thing if he changed to the equipment matching station in the past and couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing.

At that time, if someone gave him a door-to-door, but he could get a job of seven or eight thousand a month, then he would do it, regardless of whether it had anything to do with his major.

Of course, his current income in all aspects is good, his main business and side business are developing very well, and he will soon be able to achieve financial freedom, so of course he will have to pursue it in the future.

"Doctor Zhao, I think future achievements may not be as simple as being a doctor."

Tian Zhen said suddenly.

Since the operating room, Tian Zhen has been paying attention to Zhao Heng. It can be said that Zhao Heng is different from any doctor he has ever seen.

She had a vague premonition that Zhao Heng might become a great doctor beyond everyone's imagination in this era.

Of course, the word great, when used now, is a bit too exaggerated.

In this world now, any doctor can basically not be worthy of the word great.

"A doctor is a doctor, but it's just curing the disease and saving lives. There's nothing simple or not simple."

After hearing this, Zhao Heng just smiled and said indifferently.
