After noon, Director Li Yao rushed back to the hospital from the Municipal Health Commission. He wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat something, but found that he had no appetite at all.
While thinking about the problem, he walked around the hospital and unknowingly came to the vicinity of Zhizhen Building.
Li Yao was somewhat surprised to see that in the open space in front of the building, with no shelter and the sun directly overhead, Yu Zhiming was wandering around surrounded by Qin Qiushi, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Zhou Mo and others.
He walked over curiously and asked, "Doctor Yu, what are you doing? It's sunny, aren't you afraid of getting burned?"
"Dean, the sun is shining brightly and we are just basking in the sun!" Yu Zhiming replied seriously.
Zhou Mo babble again, explaining, "Dean, we leave early and come back late, working on the third underground floor for a long time. It's hard for us to see the sun outside all day."
"Doctor Yu said that from now on, I have to go out and get some sun for ten minutes every day at noon."
Li Yao groaned and nodded, saying, "Given your work environment, it's indeed necessary to get some sun."
"Doctor Yu, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Li Yao brought Yu Zhiming to a deserted spot under the shade of a tree and sighed softly, "Something big happened at the dean's office meeting this morning..."
He briefly recounted the incident at the office meeting where Director Dong of the Logistics Department had a fight with Vice President Peng Ting.
Yu Zhiming was very surprised and asked, "Let's not talk about anything else. Director Dong, by doing this, isn't it a taboo?"
Li Yao hummed and said, "He challenged the authority of his superiors in a formal setting, in front of everyone. He's willing to take Peng Ting down with him at the cost of his own life."
Yu Zhiming asked curiously, "Why did Director Dong do this?"
Li Yao said softly, "Peng Ting is secretly investigating Director Dong. He must have found some evidence against him."
He sighed again and said, "Through what happened today, I finally understand the real purpose of Peng Ting coming to our hospital."
Li Yao met Yu Zhiming's inquiring gaze and said, "Peng Ting is young and energetic. I thought his appointment as vice president was an arrangement by the organization to succeed me."
"But judging by his actions, that's not the case."
"Today I finally understood that he came here for profit, and he had no intention of staying in Huashan for long. He would leave in a year at most, so he acted a little hastily and without regard for the consequences."
"What benefits?" Yu Zhiming was really confused.
Li Yao reminded, "Huashan Second Hospital."
"The subsequent renovation of the Second Hospital, the procurement of medical equipment, medical devices, and medical supplies, etc., because the standards are set very high, the investment budget for this part is nearly 500 million yuan."
"This is only the first phase of investment, just to ensure that the Second Hospital can be put into operation smoothly."
"There's a lot of room for maneuver here."
Li Yao went on to explain, "Because the Second Hospital's construction schedule is tight, all procurement work has already begun. Director Dong also serves as the deputy director of the hospital's procurement center."
"As a senior employee of the hospital, he is responsible for many tasks of the purchasing office."
"That's why Peng Ting is so anxious to find evidence against Director Dong. He wants to get rid of him or use him to his advantage."
Yu Zhiming frowned and asked, "What's Director Dong's problem?"
Li Yao said softly, "He's been in charge of logistics and procurement for many years, so there are bound to be problems. But he's very disciplined. Over the years, the medical equipment, supplies, and so on he's been responsible for have never had any quality issues, and there haven't been any problems with the accounts."
He rubbed his brows and sighed, "I didn't expect him to be so impulsive and stubborn this time. He directly overturned the table and burned himself to death."
Li Yao added coldly, "Peng Ting obviously received some promises before coming to us, so he could just walk away. He doesn't consider the consequences of his actions, and he's even thinking of using you, Doctor Yu, as a favor for him."
"This man is truly hateful."
It was the first time Yu Zhiming saw Li Yao so angry. He slowly asked, "Dean, what can I do?"
Li Yao's expression softened a bit as he said, "You don't need to get involved in this mess. I was just angry and upset at the moment, so I naggled at you a few times."
He chuckled again and said, "Director Dong launched a suicide attack, and the effect was very significant. Peng Ting was also killed."
"There's no need to think about his career..."
After Yu Zhiming finished talking with Li Yao, he watched Li Yao leave. Turning around, he found that except for Zhou Mo and Zhang Hai who were still waiting for him, the others who were basking in the sun had already gone back.
He had a bad impression of Peng Ting to begin with, and after listening to Li Yao's story, his attitude towards Peng Ting directly escalated to disgust.
This guy came to Huashan with bad intentions, he just came here to cause trouble.
It is easier to destroy than to build.
Yu Zhiming also deeply understood why some originally good enterprises and institutions would quickly decline or even close down after changing their leadership.
A guy with bad intentions can destroy everything.
He waved to Zhang Hai to come closer.
"Can I report this problem to the leadership through you?"
Zhang Hai nodded gently and said, "Doctor Yu, I can fully report your questions and requests to my superiors."
Yu Zhiming said with satisfaction: "That's enough."
Next, he repeated what Li Yao had said and said, "Please investigate this Peng Ting to see if he really has other motives."
"Has anyone made a promise to him?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Zhiming thought that Director Dong was still kind to him, so he continued, "Also, if Peng Ting really has a problem, but Director Dong's own problem is not serious, can we show some leniency and allow Director Dong to make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence?"
"I don't want to affect the work of Huashan Second Hospital..."
The unexpected discovery of this made Yu Zhiming feel a bit down, and he couldn't even rest well during his lunch break...
However, as 1:10 p.m. arrived, work had to continue.
After Yu Zhiming treated twelve registered patients, Feng Sisi led her family of three to the soundproof examination room.
"Brother-in-law, one million fans, the number has exceeded one million, King Liu is really awesome."
Feng Sisi boasted a little, then quickly introduced the family of three she brought with her. They were her classmate's parents and sister. They had made an appointment a few days ago to come for a physical examination on Monday.
Yu Zhiming remembered this incident and focused his attention on the heights of the three members of the family.
The heights of these three people are very disappointing. The father is only 1.65 meters tall and the mother is about 1.57 meters tall.
As for the fair and clean girl who looked like a porcelain doll, she was almost sixteen years old and was no more than 1.47 meters tall.
The girl's father said, "Doctor Yu, my daughter has undergone several comprehensive examinations. She has no growth hormone deficiency, normal thyroid function, normal chromosomes, no genetic metabolic diseases, and no chronic diseases. She is not anemic, zinc deficient, or calcium deficient. She eats a fair amount, is not picky about food, and exercises regularly..."
After hearing his fluent introduction, Yu Zhiming realized that he had taken his daughter for many checkups.
Because what he said basically includes all the common factors that affect height development.
"Let me check it out first..."
Yu Zhiming examined this exquisite petite girl and found that her body was developing healthily, except that her epiphyseal line was almost closed.
The epiphyseal line is the cartilage between the epiphysis and metaphysis.
It appears as a wide translucent band on X-rays of young children.
It gradually becomes shorter with age.
After a period of development during puberty, with the secretion of hormones, the cartilage at the epiphysis and metaphysis will gradually ossify, eventually forming a tight seam.
At this time, the epiphyseal line is completely closed, the bones stop growing, and the head will no longer grow.
Based on the current closure of the girl's epiphyseal line, Yu Zhiming speculated that her final height would be about 150cm.
"Doctor Yu, what's the reason why my daughter hasn't grown taller?"
Yu Zhiming said frankly: "During my examination, your daughter's physical development is good, except for being a little shorter. She is quite healthy."
He added: "Although she is short in height, her condition is not pathological."
The girl suddenly said, "Doctor, I heard there's a bone-breaking height-increasing surgery that can effectively increase height?"
The so-called bone height increase is mostly a surgical resection of the cancellous bone of the tibia and below the knee of the lower limb. After the cancellous bone is pulled apart, blood circulation is unblocked, which helps the lateral bones grow gradually.
After surgery, a rehabilitation exercise program is required to stretch the leg bones, ultimately achieving the goal of lengthening the tibia and increasing height.
One operation can generally increase the height by 2 to 5 cm.
However, height-increasing surgery carries a high risk as it requires lengthening the nerves and blood vessels of the lower limbs, which may damage the nerves and blood vessels, affect lower limb movement, and cause serious sequelae.
Moreover, the operation is quite painful.
Yu Zhiming briefly introduced the bone-breaking height-increasing surgery to the girl, and slightly exaggerated the risks and pain of the surgery.
"To grow just 2 to 5 centimeters taller, not only would you have to endure immense pain, but you would also have to risk paralysis of your lower limbs. It's not worth it."
The girl said, "Doctor, you are used to seeing the scenery from a high place, so you don't understand the pain of us short people."
"If it can increase your height by 2 to 5 centimeters, I think it's worth it."
The girl asked again, "Doctor, how many height-increasing surgeries can a person undergo?"
"The more times you do it, the risk increases exponentially."
Yu Zhiming gave a warning and looked at the girl's parents, wanting to persuade them, when he suddenly discovered something.
The girl's mother had a piece of shiny silver jewelry hanging around her neck.
He suddenly realized that when he examined the girl, there were obvious indentations and pinch marks on her neck and wrists.
This should be the mark left by wearing jewelry for a long time.
Yu Zhiming asked the girl, "Do you often wear silver jewelry?"
The girl nodded and said, "I have a lot of silver jewelry, all bought for me by my parents."
"Also, the bowls and chopsticks we use for eating and the cups we use for drinking water are all made of silver."
Yu Zhiming said: "It is very necessary for you to test the silver and other heavy metal levels in your body."
He further explained: "Long-term excessive exposure to heavy metals such as silver, mercury, and lead can lead to excessive accumulation in the body, causing a certain degree of poisoning, which in turn affects height development..."
A little after 6:20 in the evening, Yu Zhiming hurriedly finished his day's work and walked out of the soundproof inspection room.
At this time, a beautiful woman with a bun who was waiting in the corridor came closer to Yu Zhiming and said, "Doctor Yu, I am Xia Linge's daughter-in-law. I have the Xia family's tonic prescription."
"Please save my son..."
