Chapter 535 Expensive Treatment
Aztec city of Monterrey.
The medical airship specially dispatched by the Sapiens Company was parked on a flat ground nearby.
A large number of ambulances bring patients with allergic inflammation here, most of whom are children aged 4 to 10 years old.
The reason why they are all children aged 4 to 10 is because these children have relatively weak immunity.
On the contrary, infants under the age of 4 do not develop allergic inflammation because they consume milk powder or fresh milk instead of genetically modified corn.
Obregon, the attending physician of Monterrey Public Hospital, came to the medical airship in person because he was worried about the patient's condition and also to better explain the patient's condition.
Although he had heard about the strength of Sapiens and had seen various news reports and videos, it was only at this moment that Obregon felt the strength of Sapiens.
The medical airship in front of us, which looks like a mountain, is just an ordinary equipment within the Sapiens company.
The medical airship, which can carry a payload of 15,000 tons, uses high-strength ultra-light materials to construct 2,000 rooms inside the airship, 1,000 of which are wards.
It is equipped with various advanced medical equipment and has 450 professional medical staff, each of whom is an elite doctor of medicine.
Obregon accompanied a patient into an examination room.
"Is the patient this little girl?" the female doctor asked in Spanish.
"Yes, I am Obregon, the patient's attending physician, and I work at the Monterrey Public Hospital." Obregon quickly introduced himself.
The female doctor nodded slightly and quickly observed the little girl's body.
Judging from the skin condition, there were large, ribbon-like blisters on the arms and forehead, which were somewhat similar to the symptoms of smallpox infection.
The female doctor quickly switched her eyes to thermal sensing mode and checked the patient's body temperature, which was 38.2 to 38.4 degrees Celsius.
Then she adjusted to the magnetic field vision mode and observed the patient's body magnetic field state.
"As expected, the body's immune system's stress response is too intense, and immune regulation must be performed immediately." The female doctor made a preliminary assessment of the patient's condition without doing any other tests.
Obregon asked worriedly, "She should be able to be treated, right?"
"Of course, this is just a minor problem."
"A small problem?" Obregon didn't know how to answer. For a small hospital like theirs, the severity of this allergic inflammation problem could be serious or minor.
The problem is that after , if the patient is weak, he or she can easily be affected by complications.
The more common complications of this allergic incident were: skin erythema, chickenpox, difficulty breathing, high fever and body aches.
The complications most likely to cause death are high fever and difficulty breathing, while chickenpox can easily cause disfigurement.
In this situation, antibiotics and hormones are of no use. Instead, cooling patches and drugs that reduce inflammatory factors have some effect. The rest can only be overcome by the body.
Of course, the reason for the deaths is that the local medical conditions are too poor, and the patients have other underlying diseases, such as congenital heart disease, asthma, etc. In this case, it is basically a dead end.
The little girl in front of me has a mild asthma.
Obregon explained some basic conditions of the little girl, hoping to help her.
The female doctor picked up the little girl and placed her on the bed of the terahertz scanner, then turned around and shouted, "Lin Yang, scan it."
"Got it." The male doctor pressed the switch.
After a while, a holographic scan model of the little girl's body appeared on the computer screen.
The female doctor took a look and said, "Her blood oxygen level is a little low. In addition, the inflammation is still flaring up. She was injected with anti-inflammatory drugs before, but the anti-inflammatory effect was not very good."
"There is abuse of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs in the area. I guess the body has developed drug resistance." The male doctor speculated.
The female doctor picked up the internal communication watch and turned on the holographic projection: "Cellul, please send a medical cabin for women and children."
"OK."
The little girl's father asked worriedly, "Doctor, can you treat it?"
The female doctor nodded: "Okay, but you'd better be prepared. The treatment will cost a lot."
"I don't have much gold dollars, can I pay in pesos?" The little girl's father had a helpless and pleading look on his face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't have money. You can work for our company and repay the remaining debt. The cost of this treatment is 7660 gold yuan." The female doctor asked for a huge amount.
"7660 gold dollars?" Obregon was shocked.
At this time, the indirect exchange rate between the gold yuan and the US dollar was about 1:35, and 7,660 gold yuan was more than 200,000 US dollars.
The female doctor smiled and said, "This is a full-body treatment, including asthma and skin repair. This price is already very low."
The Sapiens company is not very polite to patients who are not employees of the company. The medical expenses are often very high, and many special medical programs cannot be applied for by non-employee patients.
The average income of an average person in the Aztec region is less than $500 a month, and with a debt of more than $200,000, they would not be able to pay it off in their lifetime.
The male doctor smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry! If you work in our company, the starting salary is 500 gold yuan. If you work hard, you can pay it off in two years."
Obregon opened his mouth, but finally chose to remain silent.
Although Sapiens is suspected of taking advantage of the situation, the problem is that many patients and their families now have no other choice.
The little girl's father signed the loan medical contract neatly without any hesitation. There was nothing wrong with working for the Homo Sapiens company.
Many people have tried every possible means but have not been able to become employees of Sapiens Company.
After a while.
Another female doctor, Cellu, pushed a bed into the diagnosis room.
After taking off the patient's clothes, place him directly into the medical cabin on the bed.
A large number of jelly-like tentacles emerged from the medical cabin and attached themselves to the patient's entire body.
Then, micro-channels composed of various artificial cells penetrate into the body from the surface little by little.
These artificial cells will provide patients with oxygen, water, electrolytes, glucose and special medicines, while also clearing waste products excreted by the body.
The medical cabin can also monitor the patient's physical condition in real time and automatically take emergency measures when the patient has an emergency.
In addition, the medical cabin can be used to perform non-invasive surgery and deliver drugs to specific organs or parts of the body.
This thing can replace most of the work of nurses and doctors, and there are not too many uncontrollable factors.
"Is that all?" Obregon stared at the medical cabin in amazement.
"What else? Don't worry, she will be back to normal in three days." The female doctor said as she examined the next patient.
The nursing doctor, Cellu, first carried out conservative basic treatment according to the treatment plan prescribed by the two diagnostic doctors.
Obregon followed Dr. Cellu to the ward, which already had three medical cabins in it. He took a look and found that there were people lying inside.
Celluloid inserted the little girl's medical cabin into the dedicated bed and connected the wires, optical fibers, delivery tubes and discharge tubes.
Then she asked another colleague to bring some relevant medicines.
She needed to use special medications, along with special auxiliary parasites for non-invasive surgery, to give the little girl's respiratory system a delicate treatment.
Obregon watched her operate a piece of equipment and felt that his decades of knowledge were not enough because he could not understand what Celluloid was doing at all.
This is actually one of the differences between the current new humans and natural humans. Without the guidance of new humans, natural humans have no way of understanding many of the new humans’ equipment and knowledge systems.
The new humans have built up a complete set of knowledge barriers through their super learning abilities.
What Obregon encountered is just a small microcosm of this.
