Chapter 1208 Can’t
The blood pressure of a person's left and right hands is different due to physiological structure, measurement position, left-handedness, right-handedness, etc.
The difference in blood pressure is that the systolic pressure will not exceed 20 mmHg and the diastolic pressure cannot exceed 10 mmHg.
If it exceeds this value, you need to pay special attention, as it may be caused by pathological reasons.
The possible pathological causes are mostly vascular diseases.
For example, Takayasu arteritis, subclavian artery stenosis, carotid artery stenosis, or aortic dissection. These conditions may reduce blood flow to one side, affecting blood pressure.
Another example is atherosclerosis. If severe atherosclerosis occurs in one side of the blood vessels, it may cause low blood pressure on that side.
Facing Yu Zhiming's question, the middle-aged man suddenly became nervous and asked anxiously, "Doctor Yu, is this a very serious problem?"
Yu Zhiming replied vaguely, "I suggest you go to the Department of Cardiology or Vascular Surgery for a checkup."
The middle-aged man asked expectantly, "Doctor Yu, are you so lucky to..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted, "I still have work to do."
He felt that the refusal was a bit abrupt, and explained, "This isn't some difficult or complicated disease. If it's really a pathological problem that causes a large difference in blood pressure between the left and right hands, it's easy to detect."
After saying this, Yu Zhiming turned around and walked towards the stairs leading to the third underground floor with Sun Lin.
The middle-aged man saw Yu Zhiming's body halfway down the stairwell, then he came to his senses and shouted, "Doctor Yu, thank you! I'll go get the test right away, and I'll come back to thank you once the results are in."
Ling Jie said with concern: "Uncle, I will accompany you to get checked first. There is no rush to visit my father-in-law."
At this time, another middle-aged man with a long face who came with them said, "They say it's better to have two people handle the same thing. Why doesn't Dr. Yu help with the examination? It only takes three to five minutes for him."
Ling Jie's uncle's face darkened. He glanced at the long-faced man and said, "It's a great fortune to have met Doctor Yu and have him point out my health problems."
"How can you be so greedy?"
He looked at Ling Jie again and said, "Xiao Jie, I'm really indebted to you this time. If you didn't know Dr. Yu, no matter how shamelessly I approached him, Dr. Yu wouldn't even give me the face of shaking hands, let alone specifically point out any physical problems."
Ling Jie urged, "Uncle, the problem that Dr. Yu specifically pointed out must be serious. Let's go get a physical examination first."
Since it concerns his own health, Ling Jie's uncle dare not be careless.
"Go to the Cardiology Department and say that Dr. Yu sent me here. I'm sure they'll take me seriously..."
When Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office on the third floor underground, he felt like a fish in water, alive again, and his head stopped buzzing.
He rested for nearly ten minutes, recovering his body and mind before returning to work again.
The patient Dr. Yu saw this time was a relationship with Dr. Liu Yun, and he had an intraspinal tumor in the cervical spine.
Originally, this patient was scheduled for next week, but America decided to send the patient here early, so Yu Zhiming's work schedule also needed to be adjusted accordingly.
Fortunately, this patient was hospitalized in Huashan Hospital, so it was very convenient for him to come to Yu Zhiming for examination.
In addition to her family, the patient was accompanied by Chief Neurosurgeon Deng Yan.
Yu Zhiming was not familiar with Dr. Deng.
After Dr. You Weixian switched to Jingcheng Hospital and began to work with Dr. Qin Jingmo from Union Medical College Hospital, he had little contact with the neurosurgery department.
However, Yu Zhiming saw that Dr. Deng looked to be only 46 or 47 years old, which was the golden age for surgeons. He was also a chief physician and was obviously quite capable.
Yu Zhiming began to examine the patient's neck, and after a while his expression became somewhat serious.
The tumor in the patient's cervical spine is like a small octopus, integrated with the surrounding spinal cord, blood vessels, and nerves.
The difficulty of this operation...
Yu Zhiming raised his eyelids and looked at Deng Yan beside him.
Deng Yan met Yu Zhiming's inquiring gaze and said frankly, "I'm not very confident. It's a big gamble."
Yu Zhiming closed his eyes slightly and continued to explore the patient's intraspinal tumor until he withdrew his hands after more than ten minutes.
Then, he returned to his soundproof office and began to draw a perspective diagram of the physiological structure of the patient's spinal canal tumor...
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Dr. Liu Yun finished a gynecological operation and returned to the seventh floor. She saw a girl in her early twenties with a ponytail waiting in front of her office.
"Aunt Liu..."
The ponytailed girl approached Liu Yun and said impatiently, "Doctor Yu has already examined my mother and said he'll be able to draw a tumor map tonight."
As they were talking, the girl with the ponytail followed Liu Yun into the office and continued, "Doctor Deng said that even with the help of Doctor Yu's drawings, the chances of success are slim. We still have to gamble our lives."
Liu Yun sat down in her office chair, sighed softly, and said, "Your mother's tumor was discovered too late."
The girl with the ponytail bit her lip and said, "I heard that tomorrow a world-class throat surgeon will be here. He's been invited by Dr. Yu."
Liu Yun sat up straighter, looked at the girl with the ponytail, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
The girl with the ponytail said, "Dr. Deng doesn't have much confidence himself. Could Aunt Liu help contact a more skilled neurosurgeon?"
She cried again and said, "Aunt Liu, I don't want to be without a mother so early."
Seeing the ponytailed girl's apprehensive expression, Liu Yun's heart softened. She patiently explained, "Dr. Deng has considerable experience and achievements in spinal tumor surgery. There are few neurosurgeons in China who clearly surpass him in this area."
"He's unsure, and neither is anyone else."
The girl with the ponytail continued to ask, "What about internationally?"
Liu Yun said, "There are probably some people internationally who are clearly more capable than Dr. Deng, but they are not many."
"It's just that these people aren't that easy to contact. Even if we do, they might not be sure."
“There’s also the issue of cost to consider.”
The girl with the ponytail continued, "I heard that Dr. Yu was able to easily contact the German expert who will be coming tomorrow."
"I also heard that the fee is not high, not much different from the cost of a domestic expert's flying knife."
Liu Yun looked at the girl in front of her, and was silent for a moment before she suppressed her displeasure and explained, "That German doctor also needs Dr. Yu's help, otherwise the cost would have skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands."
"You have to understand that these top doctors have patients from all over the world, and there's no shortage of wealthy patients. To get them to make a move, you either have to have a lot of money, very strong connections, or an exchange of benefits that's attractive enough to make them happy."
The girl with the ponytail asked hesitantly, "Aunt Liu, could you…could you…could you ask Doctor Yu to invite you?"
"No!" Liu Yun replied without hesitation...
