Zhu Jun sighed deeply, his face showing an expression of mixed pain and regret.
She slowly said, "Can you imagine what happened when I saw this patient, Song Rong?"
"My first feeling was that this might be an elderly patient with many underlying diseases caused by obesity, so he came to the hospital for treatment."
"She was in terrible condition, bloated, with sagging and dull skin. Her appearance was completely beyond my imagination of a young patient."
She couldn't help but rub her temples, as if trying to ease the heaviness in her heart, and continued, "I never thought that she was a girl of twenty-four or twenty-five years old."
"Such a young life should be full of vitality, like a flower blooming in the morning, beautiful and full of curiosity and longing for the world."
"But now, in that ward, she seems to have been drained of all her vitality, leaving only a shattered body tormented by illness..."
In addition to Zhao Ming, Lin Lin and Damei were both insiders. After all, today's face-to-face consultations were conducted by two pairs of patients.
Lin Lin recalled the scene of the face-to-face consultation, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of worry.
The moment she saw Song Rong, her heart felt like it was hit hard. It was a feeling of helplessness and heartache as a doctor facing a patient suffering great pain but being temporarily powerless to do anything.
Damei had a solemn look on her face. She prayed silently in her heart that a way to cure Song Rong could be found as soon as possible, so that this young patient could regain the glory that belonged to her.
Zhao Ming had just come out of the operating room not long ago, and there was still a hint of fatigue in his eyes after the operation. But after hearing Zhu Jun's description, his tiredness was instantly replaced by surprise and worry.
Although he had heard that Song Rong's condition was serious, he did not expect the actual situation to be so distressing.
There was a brief silence in the conference room, and no one knew what to do next.
The lights overhead were a bit dazzling, reflecting everyone's solemn expressions.
It was so quiet that the only sound was the ticking of the clock on the wall, as if urging them to break the deadlock.
After a while, Lin Lin said to Zhu Jun, "Director Zhu, regarding the two patients' blood test reports showing hormonal abnormalities, I'd like to ask, is obesity caused by hormonal abnormalities common in gynecology?"
There was a hint of anxiety in Lin Lin's eyes as he looked at Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun nodded and said, "It's very common. Excessive stress, frequent anger, irregular sleep and eating habits all have an impact."
"Although the photo frames mentioned above are for normal humans, even if they are no longer normal humans and lack the functions of some organs, their strange physical conditions will continue to function as normal human organs." As she spoke, Zhu Jun pushed her glasses, which had slipped down a little, and her expression looked a little serious through the lenses.
Lin Lin continued to ask, "If it's according to your description, can we try to use medication to control the abnormal hormones in their bodies, or even restore them to normal hormone levels..."
Lin Lin frowned slightly, his mind already rapidly pondering the possibility and options of drug treatment. "After all, the only data and results we have right now are the blood test report."
"It's easy to control the hormones in the body to normal levels." Zhu Jun said, her fingers tapping lightly on the table, as if she was keeping pace with her thoughts.
“But the hormone-controlling drugs themselves can cause weight gain. What about the other patient, that child? What about her developed organs? Will the long-term use of inhibitors to resist the hormones in her body have any other effects?” Zhu Jun’s words were like a heavy hammer, making the atmosphere in the meeting room even more solemn.
Everyone frowned deeply and began to ponder this series of complicated issues.
Lin Lin bit her lip, struggled for a moment, and said, "As for Yaya's treatment plan, inhibitors are an indispensable part. If we don't take some measures at this stage, with her current menstrual volume, I'm afraid she won't be able to last until we find a suitable treatment and will become a dry man."
During this pause, Damei silently added, "Everyone can take a look at page 5 of Yaya's medical record."
Her voice was a little low, but it was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, attracting everyone's attention.
"That's the record of Yaya's family. Yaya wasn't born in a strange world, and her growth period has remained at 8 years old."
The office was suddenly filled with the rustling sound of flipping papers. Everyone was quickly looking through the documents, with a hint of surprise and confusion in their eyes.
Lin Lin found that page first. She read it carefully, and her furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
The slightly furrowed brows seemed to carry all the previous confusion and worries, but now they relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted, just like seeing a ray of light after the clouds had parted.
Looking at the information above, she explained to everyone: "Children born in non-weird worlds will not experience any growth-related changes in the weird world, while the characteristic of adults is that they will not grow old even after death." Her voice was clear and steady, and every word echoed in the conference room, as if opening a door for everyone to understand the new rules.
"What about the child born in this strange world?" Zhao Ming asked, his eyes full of curiosity and exploration.
This question was like a stone thrown into a lake, once again stirring up ripples in everyone's thoughts.
"Normal growth," Zhu Jun replied. After a pause, she added, "Every child born in this strange world has their growth limit determined from the moment they are born."
Her eyes were deep and solemn, as if she knew that there were countless complex and mysterious factors hidden behind this.
Zhao Ming seemed to have thought of something. He asked Zhu Jun, "Could this be related to the strange talent?"
He frowned slightly, as if he had found a connection among the complicated information, but he was not quite sure.
Zhu Jun nodded and replied, "Indeed, strange talents largely determine the upper limit and trajectory of these children's growth."
"It's like an invisible mold, shaping the development of these special lives."
As she spoke, she walked to the whiteboard in the conference room, picked up a pen and drew some simple diagrams on it, trying to explain this complex phenomenon more clearly.
Seeing that the doubts in everyone's eyes gradually dissipated, it was obvious that they had understood the difference between children born in a different world and children born in this world. Damei coughed lightly and brought the topic back to the key issue of using inhibitors on Yaya.
The atmosphere in the office, which had just relaxed, suddenly became solemn again, and everyone's attention was focused again.
