Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 415 Sun Xinxin's Junior Sister - A Desperate Cancer Girl

The next day.

nine in the morning.

After the morning meeting and house inspection, Zhao Heng returned to the office. Since Ma Xiaochen's treatment took effect, the busy period of time has come to an end.

To be honest, during this period of time, Zhao Heng also felt that he was a little too rushed. In a short period of time, he accomplished things that others might not be able to accomplish in a few years.

In the next time, you can slow down, settle down, and think carefully about the next plan and development.

In terms of business ability, Zhao Heng can now be said to have fallen into a bottleneck. After all, the wool that Dongfang Hospital can squeeze out has been almost squeezed by him.

As for the doctors in other hospitals in China, in terms of modern medicine, their level is actually about the same. Even if Zhao Heng went to other hospitals, they are basically about the same.

So, as the next step, should we turn our attention to foreign countries?

For example, in gene editing, percutaneous mitral and tricuspid valve replacement, robotic surgery innovation, high-tech helmet visor for out-of-hospital stroke patients, VR technology combined with medicine, and the production of products with special needs for patients 3D printing technology, cancer immunotherapy, treatment and rehabilitation of acute stroke, medical artificial intelligence diagnosis technology, pain replacement therapy, etc.

These technologies are still in their infancy in China, but they are relatively mature abroad and have been put into actual clinical use.

If it develops normally, it will take at least five to ten years to catch up with foreign countries in these technical fields.

However, Zhao Heng's systematic existence may greatly shorten the development time of these key medical technologies.

Technological progress in these fields, every bit of progress, is based on huge scientific research investment and expenditure.

In China, although it has the advantage of a huge medical base, its level of manual surgery can be said to be top in the world.

However, in fields such as genetic engineering, biopharmaceuticals, and medical robotics, which require highly technical support from various disciplines, the development is not so satisfactory.

After all, the development and accumulation of technology takes time, and it is not easy to catch up.

Just as Zhao Heng was thinking, a person walked in from outside the office.

"Doctor Zhao?"

Someone knocked on the door and said softly.

Zhao Heng raised his head and saw that it was Sun Xinxin who came.

Speaking of Sun Xinxin, she has been discharged from the hospital because her condition has recovered well, and she is currently recuperating at home.

This Sun Xinxin, if he is not recuperating at home, what is he doing in the hospital?
Could it be that her illness has relapsed?

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng stood up, welcomed Sun Xinxin in, and sat on the sofa.

"Doctor Zhao, did you bother you? No, I should call you Director Zhao now."

Sun Xinxin sat on the sofa, looked at Zhao Heng and smiled.

Zhao Heng became the deputy director after she was discharged from the hospital.

"I can't talk about disturbing you. How is your recovery recently? Did you have other symptoms again?"

Zhao Heng asked with great concern.

In his opinion, when Sun Xinxin came to him, he could only say that his condition had relapsed, or that his recovery was not smooth, and other symptoms appeared.

However, looking at Sun Xinxin's current appearance, her complexion is good and her spirits are good, and she doesn't seem to be suffering from repeated illnesses.

"I'm recovering well."

Seeing Zhao Heng's concerned expression, Sun Xinxin also smiled and waved his hands.

It can be said that Sun Xinxin was lucky in his life to meet a doctor like Zhao Heng.

"Don't be too impatient. It will take at least half a year for you to rejoin the training before it can be put on the agenda."

Zhao Heng thought that Sun Xinxin was here to ask her when she could resume training. After all, Sun Xinxin often consulted him about this matter after she was discharged from the hospital.

As a world-class champion skier, Sun Xinxin of course wants to recover as soon as possible, then put into training, and re-enter the world arena. After all, the athlete's golden sports career is only a few years.

Moreover, the Winter Olympics does not happen every year. For a top skier, in fact, in his sports career, it is already very good to be able to catch up twice.

The industry of athletes is actually very cruel. Those who can participate in the World Series are actually only a few places, but there are thousands of people who are engaged in this sport. More people, although they are very talented, but Because of all kinds of people, stop at the national team or even the provincial team.

Therefore, even if Sun Xinxin can participate in training again and recover to the level that can participate in the World Series, at most he will participate in another Winter Olympics. This is why Sun Xinxin was anxious before.

"Doctor Zhao, I know this, don't be impatient."

Sun Xinxin nodded and said.

"Then what are you here for?"

Zhao Heng was a little puzzled, he didn't come here to ask about his own situation, so why?
It can't be just to reminisce about the old days, right?
"Doctor Zhao, I don't know if you are good at orthopedics?"

Sun Xinxin didn't hold back and asked directly.

After being treated in the hospital for a period of time, she and Zhao Heng are quite familiar with each other.

"Orthopedics? Are you okay, what's the matter?"

Zhao Heng was a little confused by Sun Xinxin's question, but Zhao Heng continued.

In terms of technology, he can now be said to be the culmination of all the doctors in Dongfang Hospital, and there is no category that he is not good at.

Sun Xinxin asked, could it be that a friend of hers had an orthopedic disease?
"Doctor Zhao, let me just say it straight. I've thought about this matter, and I don't know who to turn to."

Sun Xinxin said with some distress.

Obviously, what she was about to say was obviously not that easy for her.

"Well, you said."

Zhao Heng nodded. He knew Sun Xinxin's character. It was the kind of character that top athletes usually have, aggressive, resolute, and straightforward.

People with such a personality, although they sometimes feel slightly offended when they meet for the first time, but after getting along for a long time, they will feel very at ease.

Zhao Heng is a very professional doctor. Under normal circumstances, he would not contact or leave contact information with patients who have recovered. In terms of Sun Xinxin, it is rare for Zhao Heng to leave contact information after he was discharged from the hospital.

"Doctor Zhao, one of my younger juniors, who is also a member of the national ski team, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma just last week."

Sun Xinxin sighed and said with a downcast expression.

"Originally, Junior Sister only had swollen and painful calves. At the beginning, Junior Sister herself didn't pay attention to it. She thought it was an injury caused by training. Even the team doctor treated it as a general sports injury. But last week, one day After the training, the junior sister couldn't stand up immediately, and after going for an examination, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma."

After a pause, Sun Xinxin explained the situation of [Little Junior Sister] in detail.

"Is it diagnosed?"

Zhao Heng asked in amazement. It stands to reason that the national team should have invested a lot in the medical treatment of its players. Under normal circumstances, it would not happen that a player has a malignant tumor like osteosarcoma without being found.

Unless it is malignant Ewing's sarcoma of bone with acute onset and rapid development.

While rare, it's not impossible.

Ewing's sarcoma (es) is a poorly differentiated malignant tumor of small round cells, accounting for 6%-8% of all primary bone tumors, and is the most common malignant primary bone tumor in children and adolescents.

Pain and swelling are the most common early symptoms of this kind of malignant tumor that occurs in children and adolescents. This is exactly the same as what Sun Xinxin said just now.

In addition to pain and swelling, with the infiltration of tumor cells, patients will also have nerve root and spinal cord damage, some patients will also be accompanied by low-grade fever, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and erythrocyte sedimentation rate significantly increased, sometimes accompanied by There is an increased white blood cell count and anemia.

"A biopsy has been done and the diagnosis has been confirmed."

Sun Xinxin said with a sad face, it was completely different from the happy expression when she saw Zhao Heng when she came in just now, as if Sun Xinxin's mood fell a lot when talking about this little junior sister.

"Ewing sarcoma of bone is highly malignant, the course of the disease is very short, and it metastasizes quickly. Simple surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are not very effective."

Hearing from Sun Xinxin that her younger junior sister had been diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma by biopsy, Zhao Heng's mood became serious.

What he has not said yet is that most patients with Ewing sarcoma of the bone die within 2 years, and the 5-year survival rate does not exceed 10%.

The cruelest thing is that so far, surgical amputation and amputation are still the most effective treatment for bone Ewing sarcoma.

Think about it, Sun Xinxin's younger junior sister must be a top athlete, and she is younger than her. It is the dream of many athletes to have this talent and join the national team at a young age.

But at the same age as Hua, with a bright future, she suffered from a very fatal malignant tumor that required amputation. It can be said that after the fate gave this girl a generous gift, it gave her another huge blow. It can be said to have sunk into the abyss.

"Yes, that's what the attending doctor at Youyou Hospital said too."

Sun Xinxin nodded and said with a serious face.

"What kind of treatment are you currently undergoing?"

Zhao Heng asked.

"It is said that instead of amputation, radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be given together, and we will see the effect."

Sun Xinxin said.

Obviously, she was very concerned about this little junior sister, even during this time, she was with her in the hospital, so she knew her situation very well.

"Doctor Zhao, if radiotherapy and chemotherapy are given together, can her leg be saved?"

After a pause, Sun Xinxin asked again.

In fact, the attending doctor of the Friendship Hospital has already introduced the condition of the little junior sister very clearly.

Sun Xinxin came to Zhao Heng's side with a little bit of hope, to see if there would be another way for Zhao Heng's side.

After all, she was in such a dangerous situation back then, the world's most famous Mayo Clinic stayed for three months, but failed to cure her disease.

But when she came back, Zhao Heng cured her. Therefore, in Sun Xinxin's eyes, Zhao Heng was definitely one of those rare people who could perform miracles.

In the eyes of everyone, it was already an incredible miracle that she was able to recover and recover to the point where she could continue to participate in training in the future.

"It's hard to say. For Ewing's sarcoma, both chemotherapy and radiotherapy have short-term effects, and the long-term effects are very poor."

Zhao Heng shook his head slightly and gave his professional opinion.

In his opinion, getting Ewing's sarcoma at a young age is not a question of whether he can keep his legs, but a question of whether he can continue to live!
"Ugh.."

Sun Xinxin let out a long sigh when she heard the words, she felt so aggrieved about this matter.

Having experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, she especially empathizes with her junior sister who is like a sister.

"Doctor Zhao, is there really no other way? You even cured me. Besides, Ma Xiaochen is also an advanced cancer, isn't it also cured by you?"

After a pause, Sun Xinxin asked persistently.

If there was anyone in this world who could make Sun Xinxin feel capable of creating miracles, then it was Zhao Heng.

Facing Sun Xinxin's hopeful eyes, Zhao Heng was a little silent. He is powerful, but he is not omnipotent.

"Doctor Zhao, do you think this is okay? Since my junior sister can only do radiotherapy and chemotherapy, is it the same where it is done? Can you transfer it here and let you formulate the treatment plan."

Sun Xinxin looked at Zhao Heng expectantly and said.

In fact, Sun Xinxin also knows that modern medicine is not omnipotent. Youhao Hospital is already the top cancer hospital in the country. Since there is little hope there, the situation is actually similar when you come to Dongfang Hospital.

But Sun Xinxin always felt that there was still a glimmer of hope in handing over the junior sister to Zhao Heng.

"can."

Zhao Heng couldn't bear to see Sun Xinxin's hopeful eyes. He knew very well that Sun Xinxin, who had passed through life and death, had a stronger understanding of life than anyone else.

Sun Xinxin was more able to empathize with the fact that her younger junior sister was terminally ill.

"Thank you, Dr. Zhao. I know this is embarrassing for you, but I was thinking, even if Junior Sister can't be cured, can she live more comfortably."

"Doctor Zhao, you are really the only person I can think of who can do this."

Sun Xinxin's tone was very sincere, and it sounded very moving.

There is a saying that if you have been exposed to rain, you will want to hold an umbrella for others.

"It's not difficult, it's just this matter. To be honest, don't hold out too much hope."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

To treat a terminal cancer patient and provide better and more comprehensive treatment, at least the kind that prolongs life and relieves pain, for Zhao Heng, this is a simple matter, and it is not difficult to say.

But hope, these two words are the most deadly two words for terminal cancer patients, and they are also the two words that cannot be said easily.

Because once it is said, but the hope does not appear as expected, for terminal cancer patients, it is very likely that the whole person will collapse quickly, and even die in a shorter time than expected.

Therefore, this is a very prudent and serious matter. Zhao Heng cannot easily make any promises to a terminal cancer patient.

"I understand, thank you, Dr. Zhao."

Sun Xinxin nodded and said to Zhao Heng gratefully.
