Chapter 1111: Opportunities in Crisis
Tumor cells can divide indefinitely.
If humans can effectively control tumors and achieve their own fusion evolution, they can theoretically realize the ultimate dream of mankind: immortality.
However, according to scientists' speculation, if humans and tumors achieve a fusion evolution, the final human form will most likely be a big ball of flesh.
As far as current medical technology is concerned, immortality is too distant a topic, but Wang Wu’s dilemma is right in front of us.
His body is so old and frail that he can no longer withstand surgery that would cause severe damage to his body.
In other words, only conservative treatment is possible.
Wang Wu's face was gloomy. He said, "During this period, I felt that my appetite had improved a lot. I thought my health had improved, but I didn't expect it was just a last-ditch attack of cancer."
"It's raining cats and dogs when the roof leaks."
Wang Wu came to his senses again and said, "This is also my fault. As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. My body has been over-supplementing itself. Normal tissues can't absorb it, so it can only stimulate cancerous tissues to absorb nutrients."
"It's fate and time. God wants to take me back early."
Wang Wu looked at Yu Zhiming again and said pitifully, "Zhiming, Shuisu is your sister now. I entrust her and her mother to you."
Seeing Dr. Wang's pessimism, Yu Zhiming comforted him, "Dr. Wang, with today's medical technology, early-stage cancer can be cured with a high probability, and it's not uncommon for patients to survive with cancer for five, six, seven, or eight years."
Wang Wu said with a bitter face: "But my body..."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "As the old saying goes, 'Misfortune often brings blessings, and in crises there are also great opportunities.'"
"Apart from anything else, the cancerous tissue in your stomach has brought new life and vitality to your stomach. This may be the way your internal organs have found for themselves."
"With proper control and treatment, perhaps you, Dr. Wang, can last longer than before."
Wang Wu asked expectantly, "Zhiming, do you have any ideas or methods for treatment?"
He has his own unique ideas and methods of treatment.
The reason why Yu Zhiming said this was just to prevent Dr. Wang from being pessimistic and giving up hope.
Given Dr. Wang's physical condition, if he gave up on himself, his body would collapse quickly like a dam bursting.
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "Doctor Wang, I personally feel that the possibility of your stomach cancer this time is greater than the risk given your physical condition."
"However, you must be aware of how to effectively control and treat it. This is not my forte. I can only provide support."
"In this case, I will gather Elder Qin, Elder Ye, Elder Liu, and Elder Bai to work out a treatment plan for you."
Wang Wu nodded gently and said, "The four great Chinese medical masters, plus Zhiming, a medical genius rarely seen in a century, sounds very confident."
In front of Dr. Wang, Yu Zhiming contacted Mr. Qin, Mr. Ye, Mr. Liu and Mr. Bai.
When they learned that Dr. Wang had found cancerous tissue in his stomach, they immediately said that they would rush to Binhai for a consultation as soon as possible.
As for the specific date, it will need to be determined after the four of them communicate and discuss.
They also said that it would not be later than next weekend!
Wang Wu waited until Yu Zhiming finished making all the calls. His mood had improved considerably, and he said, "Zhiming, don't tell Shuisu about this. They've already worried enough. Don't add to the psychological burden on them."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said "hmm".
Dr. Wang Wu’s gastric cancer is not an emergency, so it can be put aside for now once arrangements are made.
They turned their attention to two terminally ill cancer patients in the intensive care unit.
At this time, the body temperature of the two patients exceeded 40 degrees.
The medical staff worked hard and used physical methods to lower the patient's temperature to 39.1 degrees Celsius.
When the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees, not only will the body's energy consumption increase sharply, but the brain will also fall into some confusion and self-regulation may fail.
If this high temperature is maintained for more than a certain period of time, the brain will suffer irreversible damage or even death.
Tang Jianxiong and his colleagues discovered through past research that the temperature range between 39°C and 39.5°C is the optimal temperature range for T cells to kill cancer cells in the body...
Throughout the morning, the physical condition of both cancer patients was within normal range.
At twelve o'clock noon, Yu Zhiming and Dr. Wang Wu walked out of the intensive care unit and went to have lunch first.
Seeing the patient's family members quickly gathered around, Yu Zhiming introduced: "The patient's treatment is still progressing smoothly. There is nothing else to say. Please continue to wait."
After saying this, Yu Zhiming was about to leave under the escort of Zhang Hai when he heard Sui Chi's voice.
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming stopped and was about to take a step forward, then saw Sui Chi holding the patient's daughter's hand
"What are you doing?"
Sui Chi raised his hand, which was shaking with the patient's daughter, and said with a slightly feverish face, "Doctor Yu, let me introduce you again. This is my girlfriend, Zhao Fang."
"Doctor Yu, I want you to be the first to know about this."
Yu Zhiming said with a smile on his face: "It's my pleasure. I'm glad to see that you are finally single."
"Cherish it well."
Sui Chi replied with a silly smile, "Yes."
Zhao Fang was much more generous than Sui Chi and said, "Doctor Yu, I know doctors' work is very busy and stressful."
"I will do my best to handle the logistical work so that Sui Chi can devote more time and energy to work and personal improvement."
Yu Zhiming said, "Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you can keep your word. After all, this isn't something you can achieve overnight; it requires ten to twenty years of perseverance."
"Doctor Yu, just wait and see." Zhao Fang said confidently...
Yu Zhiming had lunch in the oncology department.
Zhou Mo took the food brought by the errand boy to the lounge prepared by the oncology department for Yu Zhiming and Wang Wu.
"Doctor Yu, Ning'an Pharmaceutical's stock opened at the daily limit again today. An interview with Academicians Tan and Zhang appeared online, claiming their research results on very early screening for gastric and liver cancers are already valuable for practical application."
After a pause, Zhou Mo continued, "Secretary He told me that the hospital has received many interview requests for you, including from national media outlets."
"Doctor Yu, do you want it?"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'm just a tool in this very early-stage cancer project. I'll let Academician Tan and Academician Zhang have the chance to appear in the media."
"My fame is not small."
As he spoke, Zhou Mo began to place the food on the coffee table.
Yu Zhiming looked at Wang Wu who was standing beside him and invited him, "Doctor Wang, would you like to have lunch with me?"
"How can I be in the mood to eat now?"
Although Wang Wu said this with a bitter face, when he saw Zhou Mo’s tempting dishes such as steamed grouper, stir-fried lamb with scallions, and sea cucumber and pigeon soup, he changed his tone and said, “Only by eating and drinking well can you maintain a healthy body. I’ll reluctantly eat a little.”
Wang Wu sat down on the sofa diagonally opposite Yu Zhiming and took the chopsticks and a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice handed to him by Zhou Mo.
Then, Zhou Mo handed the remaining small bowl of fried rice directly to Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, there's one more thing..."
Zhou Mo continued, "Dr. Gong Yue called and said he would ask his family to arrange for the singing god Zhang Tianwang to attend our charity gala as an apology for his previous rudeness and offense."
Yu Zhiming said with delight, "Ahaha, I like his apology. It really touches my heart."
"Hopefully, his family will be able to do that."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Since he called and specifically mentioned it, he should be pretty sure it's true."
"Two of the Four Heavenly Kings have been confirmed. It would be great if we could get the other two as well. It would be a rare opportunity for them to perform on the same stage again."
Zhou Mo said something hopeful, then turned and said, "Gong Yue also mentioned another thing. He said that his teacher, Dr. Yan Haidong, had a question that had been bothering him for the past few years..."
When Zhou Mo said this, Yu Zhiming understood what was going on.
Dr. Yan Haidong, known as Nan Haidong in the diagnostic medical field, gave Yu Zhiming a medical record when he came to Huashan last time.
This was a patient of Dr. Yan's who passed away more than two years ago, but the cause of the disease had never been confirmed, which made him deeply regretful.
Yu Zhiming said to Zhou Mo, "You can tell Gong Yue that I haven't had time to look at the medical information."
"I'll take it with me during this vacation, and use it as a way to study and relax during my break."
"As for whether there will be results, there is no guarantee."
Zhou Mo nodded and said, "I'll let him know."
I didn't prepare much for lunch today, and Dr. Wang Wu was not polite at all, so Zhou Mo had to go to the cafeteria to eat lunch.
"Doctor Yu, Doctor Wang, enjoy your meal. I'll be back in half an hour to clear the dishes..."
After Zhou Mo closed the door and left, Wang Wu withdrew his gaze from the door and looked at Yu Zhiming again.
"Alas, the two most beautiful girls in the hospital are monopolized by you and your teacher."
Yu Zhiming knocked on the coffee table and said solemnly, "Doctor Wang, we may be familiar with each other, but if you say anything nonsense, I will sue you for defamation."
"What do you mean by occupying? Zhou Mo is just my assistant. My teacher took in Shen Yiyi to train her as a student."
Wang Wu was full of disbelief. "As long as a man can breathe, there is no one who is not lustful."
"If you have the chance to cheat on such a beautiful girl, wouldn't you be tempted? Unless you're not a man."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said teasingly, "If you don't have much self-control, don't assume that everyone is the same as you."
Wang Wu snorted lightly, but did not continue the topic. Instead, he said, "When you mentioned Doctor Yan Haidong just now, it reminded me of Bei Linwei, who is as famous as him."
"Hey, do you know this Doctor Lin Wei?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "I come from a small town. My biggest wish before was to gain a foothold in the county hospital. I don't know much about famous doctors in various medical fields."
"After arriving at Huashan, I was too busy to find out."
Wang Wu chuckled and said, "No famous doctor today is as famous as you are now."
After a pause, he sighed again: "This Lin Wei is also a legendary figure."
"He grew up in a top-tier tertiary hospital in a prefecture-level city in Northeast China. After gaining some fame, he volunteered to go to Union Hospital."
"In the end, Union Hospital didn't accept him."
"Don't want him? Why?" Yu Zhiming was a little surprised.
Wang Wu recalled, "At the time, Dr. Lin Wei was only about 40 years old. He wanted to join the Union Hospital with the exceptional title of chief physician he had obtained from a top-tier tertiary hospital in a prefecture-level city. He also wanted the Union Hospital to help him with staffing, household registration, housing, and schooling for his children."
"Xiehe thought he wasn't worth that much and refused."
Wang Wu took a bite of the dish and two sips of the soup, then continued, "Dr. Lin was very angry after being rejected, and immediately challenged the outpatient clinic of Union Hospital."
"This challenge lasted for a week, and Dr. Lin became famous overnight, defeating seven renowned medical experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital."
"Union Hospital admitted defeat and was willing to accept Dr. Lin's offer, but he himself was unwilling to go and instead went to Peking University Hospital."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Very arrogant."
Wang Wu said slowly, "People with ability are always a bit arrogant. Zhiming, you are quite arrogant too."
Yu Zhiming said: "I am quite approachable."
Wang Wu met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said, "Your pride isn't in your personality, it's in medicine."
He further explained, "You have a somewhat soft personality, but when it comes to medicine, you are meticulous and uncompromising. You are also extremely bold, or perhaps it's because you are skilled and daring."
Yu Zhiming chuckled.
Wang Wu took a few more bites of food and said, "Zhiming, are you interested in competing with Dr. Lin? If you beat him, you'll be recognized as the best in the diagnostic medical field."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "This so-called first place is meaningless. My reputation is already good enough."
"That's true!" Wang Wu said, "In terms of fame alone, Dr. Lin Wei is no longer as famous as you..."
While chatting, the two had lunch.
They had lunch early at 11 o'clock, and Zhang Hai, who was standing by, took the initiative to make tea for the two of them.
Wang Wu took the tea, took a sip, and suddenly said, "Zhiming, I have a favor to ask of you. If Shuisu's child has a talent for Chinese medicine in the future, please help find him a good teacher who is a master of traditional Chinese medicine."
Yu Zhiming said, "Please, this is too early. You're talking as if you're going to die tomorrow."
"Even if your cancer is not well controlled, if you stick with it for a year, I'm confident you can get through it."
Wang Wu sighed softly, "I'm worried about the consequences, so I'm telling you as soon as possible."
"Also, I have written my will. If any of the Wang clan members cause trouble on that day, you must protect them."
Yu Zhiming asked directly, "Chinese people talk in a sinister way. Aren't you worried that an accident might happen first?"
Wang Wu said slowly, "An accident is actually not bad. If I die suddenly, I won't have to suffer from the pain, and the mother and daughter will only have to endure a short period of pain!"
Just then, someone pushed the door open and rushed in.
Zhang Hai stood up like a spring and stopped the person.
The person who came was a young doctor in a white coat. He shouted anxiously, "Doctor Yu, just now..."
"Dr. Wang Qiusheng, who was on duty in the ward treating a patient, suddenly collapsed. Please go over and take a look..."
