Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital Chapter 376 - 340: A Man Needs His Charm

"It’s gone, that feeling is gone!"

The young man sensed that the unbearable sensation he felt before had disappeared. Now he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

At this mont, he felt a sense of relief as this strange illness had made life unbearable for him.

"Doctor, how long can this last?"

He asked Zhao Heng anxiously.

"This is the world’s most advanced water-based molecular gel, and it can maintain anesthetic effects for two weeks."

Zhao Heng replied.

This water-based molecular anesthetic gel, worth a hundred thousand, had a fee reduction applied by Gu Jia, but such imported dical materials are not covered by insurance. So, the young man still had to pay about forty thousand himself.

If this kind of gel is needed continuously to maintain the effect, the next one would definitely be at the original price, which is a hundred thousand.

Two weeks costs a hundred thousand, a month is two hundred thousand, and a year is 2.4 million.

In other words, to maintain this treatnt effect, the annual cost would be 2.4 million, and it isn’t even a cure.

Currently, many treatnts for diseases in clinical settings are stuck in this dilemma of dical costs.

There is dicine, and it has effect, but the treatnt cost is completely unaffordable for the average person.

"Doctor... will there be a fee reduction next ti?"

He asked Zhao Heng anxiously.

This ti the fee was forty thousand, and he had so savings, so he could manage it, but if it were to be a hundred thousand next ti, it would be a heavy burden.

As for later, he wouldn’t be able to afford it.

"During this ti, I will try to find the cause. If it’s discovered, there might be a chance for a curative treatnt, so it won’t be necessary to maintain like this in the future."

Zhao Heng thought and said, though he didn’t dare make promises with such a rare illness, he could only do his best.

"Thank you, thank you doctor."

The young man said gratefully.

Although it couldn’t be cured yet, at least a thod was found.

As for the subsequent treatnt costs, he could only find a way later.

Coming out of the operating room, Zhao Heng didn’t feel relieved.

Two weeks at a hundred thousand; how many people can afford such an expensive treatnt cost?

As for the young man’s illness, Zhao Heng actually thought of a roundabout thod.

If the cause cannot be found, there’s only that option left.

"Dr. Zhao, have you thought of a curative thod?"

Li Yang looked at Zhao Heng, saying that though he hadn’t been with Zhao Heng in the ward for long, he appreciated Zhao Heng’s high level of expertise.

With such nerve-related diseases, Zhao Heng surely must have thought of a curative thod.

"I have, but the cost is too great."

Zhao Heng said with a frown; unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t tell the young man about this curative thod.

"Isn’t it nerve root destruction surgery?"

Li Yang thought and suggested.

"If the cause cannot be found, then sacral nerve root destruction surgery is the only option, but following the surgery, the patient would permanently lose X ability."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

The importance of X ability is subjective; if essential, it’s important, otherwise not, depending on its usage.

For soone who remains single for life, having this ability is tantamount to not having it.

But this young man is very handso and certainly won’t remain single, so the loss of X ability would still have a significant impact.

"Finding the cause is difficult."

Li Yang sighed, stating that due to its rarity, there are very few cases, and thus scant research on this disease.

Discovering the cause from scratch and thinking of a curative thod is almost an impossible task.

"Let’s give it a try."

Zhao Heng said slowly.

There are many strange diseases in this world that cannot be cured, and Zhao Heng can’t find solutions every ti. He has amassed experiences from many doctors to treat many critical and difficult illnesses, but the disease must be in his "experience library."

If a disease isn’t in his experience library, he can only attempt to treat it and see.

Sotis he wonders if his "golden finger" were a "universal cure," that would be great.

There’s a saying that human ability has its limits; even if he gathers experiences from all the skilled doctors of Eastern Hospital and quite a few dical professors from dical universities, reaching the top of the dical field, there are still problems he can’t solve.

Moreover, these unsolvable problems aren’t few.

Back in the office, Liu ng asked Zhao Heng: "Dr. Zhao, how did the surgery go? Was it effective?"

"This water-based molecular anesthetic gel is quite useful, but this effect only lasts for two weeks."

Zhao Heng said.

"This gel is rather expensive, and if used continuously, the patient couldn’t afford the costs, right?"

Liu ng asked with so concern.

"Let’s try to find the cause first; if it doesn’t work, sacral nerve root destruction surgery is the only option for the patient."

Zhao Heng repeated what he had just told Li Yang.

"The patient would permanently lose X function after sacral nerve root destruction; though not fatal, it’s a huge blow."

Liu ng said.

Though being a woman, she couldn’t fully grasp what X function ans to a man, but she thought it must be quite significant.

Otherwise, ancient eunuchs wouldn’t have been so fixated.

Nowadays, n are also quite obsessed with any dicine or food claid to nourish and strengthen the kidneys.

"Even with sacral nerve root destruction and loss of that function, at least it allows for a normal life."

Standing beside them, Tian Zhen suddenly said.

For many won, such things are seen as dispensable.

This lays bare the gender differences.

"The patient is still young; preserve what can be preserved."

Zhao Heng said.

As a man, even if not keen on pursuing won, losing normal male function would certainly cause a significant psychological void.

Having sothing doesn’t equate to using it; these are two separate matters.

The choice to use it is personal, but not having it could be classified as a special kind of physiological disability.

"Dr. Zhao, we are having a gathering tonight, why don’t you join us?"

Tian Zhen suddenly proposed.

She and Xu Man Ni, along with a few girlfriends, have a gathering from ti to ti.

"Dr. Liu, you’re welco to join too."

After a pause, Tian Zhen invited Liu ng as well.

Tian Zhen invited Zhao Heng and Liu ng but left out Li Yang, making Li Yang feel a bit awkward.

"Dr. Li, this is a gathering of us girls, so I apologize."

Tian Zhen noticed Li Yang’s awkwardness and addressed him.

"Ahem..."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng felt sowhat embarrassed too, as if Tian Zhen implied he wasn’t a man.

"Dr. Zhao, Man Ni will be there too."

Tian Zhen, fearing Zhao Heng might not attend, ntioned.

"Alright then."

Zhao Heng nodded helplessly, realizing it would be all won except for him.

Well, he’d just eat, drink, and then sit playing on his phone.

Zhao Heng thought to himself.

Checking the ti, it was already 5:20. Zhao Heng changed clothes and headed to the surgery room’s rest area to wait for Xu Man Ni to finish her shift.

Shortly after, Xu Man Ni ca out in her changed clothes.

"Do I have to attend this gathering?"

Zhao Heng asked Xu Man Ni.

It was a gathering of won, and he didn’t think it would be interesting for him.

"It’s just , Zhenzhen, Sun Li, and Liu ng; we’re all familiar, so what’s there to feel awkward about?"

Seeing Zhao Heng’s hesitation, Xu Man Ni smiled and said.

If it were other won, they’d probably try to minimize their boyfriend’s contact with other won.

Of course, that’s because Xu Man Ni trusts her friends.

As for Liu ng, at least she’s a doctor in Zhao Heng’s ward and works under him, so eating together to socialize a bit is manageable.

"Alright then."

Zhao Heng nodded, sowhat reluctantly.
