Chapter 198 I am bald and strong
When more and more patients tried to receive genetic agent treatment and were successfully cured, they quickly caused a warm response among nearly 10 million patients in China.
The first batch of nearly 10,000 patients received treatment. Basically, three days after the operation, the heart's self-discipline system can resume normal operation and no longer require a pacemaker implantation for treatment!
In the face of absolute facts, countless patients were moved!
Some patients with relatively wealthy families and don’t care about these tens of thousands of yuan, and even the pacemaker implanted in their bodies has only been used for one or two years, but they all choose to remove it and receive gene therapy!
They don’t want to continue using pacemakers. Although the pacemakers they install are all very high-end, which basically does not affect their lives and can be the same as normal people, but when they think of a machine installed in their well-being, they feel psychologically uncomfortable.
Since there are solutions that can be treated without implanting equipment, for rich people, this kind of gene therapy scheme is more in line with their requirements!
The market demand for genetic drugs suddenly exploded!
And what is very interesting is that the second group of patients who are rushing to receive gene therapy are two extremes. Either they are very rich patients, who don’t have to spend tens of thousands of dollars, so they want better medical services.
Either some poor patients cannot afford some expensive pacemakers. After Ruikang's gene therapy plan appears, it is naturally the only choice.
On the contrary, those ordinary patients who were sandwiched in the middle had already installed pacemakers, and the pacemaker's life span was still a long time. Even though the effect of genetic drugs was proven, many patients had recovered after receiving treatment, but they were reluctant to spend tens of thousands of yuan to treat immediately.
After all, it was a pacemaker that cost a lot of millions to be implanted. It took less than two years to spend tens of thousands of yuan to receive treatment with genetic medicine. It was a bit wasteful.
Although they envy other patients who have recovered after receiving gene therapy, they are not in a hurry to buy genetic medicine immediately, as the pacemaker has been several years before its service life.
And there is also a good reason, what if the side effects of genetic agents take years to appear?
It’s better to go to the treatment after the treatment plan is completely proven to be safe. It’s not because I can’t bear to spend this money, but just for safety reasons!
real!
However, even if only a few patients with pacing disorder choose to receive genetic agent treatment as soon as possible, the number is very large.
In the first week of the launch of the gene agent, only nearly 10,000 patients were applied for gene therapy plans in all hospitals in China.
But by the second week, the number surged to 60,000. By the third week, the outbreak period was ushered in. Every day, about 20,000 patients across the country applied for gene therapy.
The cardiology departments in major hospitals are a little overwhelmed, and there are only the equipment that can be performed on interventional surgery in the hospital, and there are not many doctors doing interventional surgery.
Moreover, the number of surgery for similar pacemaker implantation surgery is not very high.
It is rare for a doctor in the heart to perform ten pacemaker implants in a month. It is a big deal for a doctor in the heart to perform more than one hundred pacemaker implants in a year, which are all the surgeries that only some heart centers can have.
Good guy, this time, most of the cardiology doctors in the Grade A hospital immediately fell into a happy and painful job. On average, one or two gene therapy interventional surgery is required every day, usually one in the morning and one in the afternoon. If some doctors are not lucky and have more patients to visit, they may have to add one in the evening.
Although this operation is not very difficult, it is also very difficult. After all, interventional surgery has always been a very test of micro-operation ability, so there is no easy job.
Usually they only have an interventional operation for two or three days, but suddenly they have to do two or three every day, which is a bit incredible.
The main reason is that the number of patients implanted with pacemakers in China is too large. Nearly tens of millions of patients have implanted permanent pacemakers. Some patients have not implanted with pacemakers, but their cardiomyocytes have some problems and are also within the scope of treatment of genetic agents.
Originally, nearly 10 million patients had accumulated over the past few decades, but now suddenly some of them had to remove pacemakers and receive gene therapy. How could they not squeeze the hospital out?
Seeing that more and more patients came to the hospital for internal medicine, many powerful people even used their connections to be admitted to the special care building and asked for treatment as soon as possible.
In desperation, hospitals in various places have tacitly carried out flow restrictions. Each doctor who can perform interventional surgery only receives at most two gene therapy surgeries every day. It’s not that they don’t want to take more, but that the hospitals have to consider some other surgeries. The scope of interventional surgery is wide, so it’s impossible for all interventional doctors to only perform gene therapy surgeries, right?
Other patients also need surgery!
The hospital collects all the information about registered patients, and then arranges the operation time for them. When it is the turn, it will come to the hospital for surgery.
Doing so can maximize the time of the doctor and the patient, and leave some room for the turnover of the hospital's wards. Otherwise, all patients with pacing disorders will flock to the hospital and the wards will be filled.
As soon as the response measures of major hospitals were released, basically all cardiology doctors will be filled with surgical charts in the next month...
There is a gene therapy operation in the morning and one in the afternoon. If there are other emergency surgeries in the middle, the surgery will be added temporarily, and one will be added every few days in the evening. On average, at least three interventional surgeries will be performed every day...
For a moment, cardiologists across the country were wailing. Although the salary was higher and the money was paid, the hair would fall off faster and the body would be unable to bear it...
The world is always fair, and when you get something, you will also lose something...
They obtained red money and accumulated rich surgical experience. Their hand skills became much stronger during high-intensity surgery, but they lost their black hair and healthy body. Their face became more and more pale. I don’t know whether it was a profit or a loss...
However, although the wailings were everywhere, the majority of cardiologists still worked hard to take on this busy surgical chart. After all, the doctors did a job of saving lives and helping the wounded.
