Chapter 1174 - 1174: 762 Suggest switching to traditional Chinese medicine treatment_3

A neuroglial tumor on the spinal cord—the surgical difficulty is immense. Even the slightest misstep and the patient could end up a high-level paraplegic.

Furthermore, the tumor cells themselves are highly invasive. Given the location of the tumor, surgery cannot completely remove it, and the recurrence rate is extremely high.

In this situation, without surgery, the patient could still live comfortably for three to five years, or perhaps even a decade or so if they're lucky.

But if they undergo surgery, I'm telling you, within a year, they'll be tormented beyond recognition.

Another thing I should mention is the immense cost. The surgery alone will be around 50,000 yuan. When you add in various medications and nursing fees, the total will easily exceed 100,000 yuan.

Because surgery cannot fully eliminate the tumor, chemotherapy must follow, driving the cost up to 300,000-400,000 yuan.

Listen, if this were your patient, I'd suggest you give it a try yourself. You have experience in treating tumors, and your skills are certainly up to the task.

For this kind of disease, you should have some solutions."

Du Heng fell silent for a moment before saying he would be in touch later and hanging up Jin Zan's call.

After taking a deep breath, as if he had made a decision, Du Heng stepped out of his office, only to find the young man's brother-in-law waiting outside the door.

Seeing Du Heng suddenly emerge, the brother-in-law moved his lips and pretended to look at his phone.

When Du Heng returned to his office, he shared everything Jin Zan had said, along with all his own thoughts. "This is the current situation. We can only try traditional Chinese medicine.

Discuss it amongst yourselves, and if you agree to my treatment, I'll arrange a bed for you."

The young man and his sister exchanged glances. The tearful sister said, "Doctor, we'll go outside to discuss it."

They went out, and more than half an hour passed without their return.

Seeing this, Du Heng left his office to check on them, but he found no trace of them outside.

Even in the rest area, there was no sign of the family of three.

Du Heng sighed. It seems they're unwilling to accept my treatment and have already left, he thought.

Du Heng shook his head. It'd be a lie to say I'm not a bit disappointed, he thought. However, the ultimate decision rested with the patient and their family, and there was nothing he could do.

Just as he was about to leave the rest area, he heard a sudden burst of voices from the emergency exit of the corridor.

"Are you stupid? I already told you! That doctor said it would cost at least four hundred thousand yuan, and he even said that for four hundred thousand, it's a guaranteed cure!

If it can't be cured anyway, what's the point of spending that money?

Wouldn't it be better to save it for your parents' old age?

Our daughter needs to go to school too. If you spend all the money on your brother, what will happen to her?"

"I don't care! I have to save my brother! If they can't do it here, somewhere else definitely can!" The woman's voice suddenly rose, and Du Heng heard every word clearly.

"You're sick too, maybe you have a mental illness!" the man said, exasperated and angry. "I told you, this doctor is trying to get us to spend four hundred thousand yuan!

Everything he did today, taking us here and there—that was purely an act for our benefit! If he wasn't trying to get our money, why would a complete stranger care so much about your brother?

At this point, if we spend that four hundred thousand, it'll just be money down the drain!

If you really want to get your brother treated, then let's go to a few more hospitals. I refuse to believe that just a simple surgery to remove a tumor would cost four hundred thousand!"
