Chapter 121 Overuse of the Brain
Yu Zhiming cooked ten dumplings for Gu Qingning.
Then, he stared at the girl, watching her finish the dumplings one by one with some difficulty.
After that, Yu Zhiming patiently accompanied the little guy, chatting with him while watching TV.
Fortunately, Yu Zhiming didn't have to endure it for long, and Gu Qingning, who had eaten and drunk enough, fell into a drowsy sleep...
It was past five in the afternoon, and Gu Qingning was still fast asleep. Yu Xiangwan had returned, completely freeing Yu Zhiming...
Monday is Yu Zhiming’s routine outpatient and emergency room time.
From 8:30 in the morning to 6:00 in the afternoon, he saw another 60 registered patients.
Among so many patients, Yu Zhiming diagnosed one patient with lung cancer and two patients with liver cancer.
It is regrettable that the organ symptoms of these three cancer patients were quite obvious.
Yu Zhiming judged that it had at least reached the mid-term stage of development.
He also selected two patients with common diseases for himself.
One is a cardiovascular disease patient with coronary artery stenosis, and the other is a patient with bile duct stones.
Yu Zhiming wants to try an interventional treatment.
Interventional therapy is a major mainstream branch that is booming in hospitals today.
Yu Zhiming personally felt that this treatment method was quite compatible with his abilities and he thought he could give it a try...
He dragged his tired body back to the Qi Yue Medical Research Center, preparing to change out of his work clothes and go home after get off work, but was caught by Ding Ye and dragged into a ward on the fourth floor.
"Aunt, uncle-in-law, this is the medical genius of our hospital I told you about before, Dr. Yu Zhiming."
Yu Zhiming briefly greeted Ding Ye's cousin and uncle-in-law, and then turned his gaze to the quiet boy in the ward.
Wearing a hospital gown and looking a little shy, the young boy Yu Qiao stood in front of the hospital bed. Yu Zhiming's first impression was that he had a skinny body and a big head.
His facial features are quite delicate, and his eyes are bright and lively.
Yu Zhiming quietly compared the boy's face with his father's, and found them to be about three or four points similar.
He made a judgment in his heart that it was most likely his biological child.
"Malnutrition?" Yu Zhiming asked bluntly!
Ding Ye sighed softly and said, "The albumin level in the blood is 30g/L, indicating mild malnutrition."
"Judging from indicators such as weight and subcutaneous fat, he is at least moderately malnourished."
"But my cousin's family has a good standard of living. Not only does they provide my cousin with food, they also provide him with nourishment from time to time."
Is this malabsorption?
Or hyperfunction?
Yu Zhiming just thought about it briefly and rejected both possibilities.
These two conditions are easy to diagnose, and it is impossible for Ding Ye's cousin's family to be helpless until now.
Yu Zhiming asked Yu Qiao to lie flat on the bed and check his internal organs first.
Let's examine the heart first...
The pounding heartbeat indicates that the heart is still in good condition.
Then came the left and right lungs, stomach, intestinal system...
Yu Zhiming carefully examined Yu Qiao's internal organs and found that there was nothing wrong with them. However, he noticed that the vitality of his internal organs was generally weak.
Considering Yu Qiao's physical condition, this weak organ function is consistent with it.
But his heart is full of energy!
Is this because of being too nervous?
Yu Zhiming returned his hand to Yu Qiao's heart and began to examine it more carefully...
A minute or two later, Yu Zhiming's right hand was placed on Yu Qiao's slightly larger head.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand and looked at Yu Qiao, who didn't dare to look him in the eye.
"Yu Qiao, your cousin Dr. Ding once told me that you are very smart. Can you tell me how smart you are?"
Yu Qiao's mother took over and said, "Doctor Yu, my Xiao Qiao is a very good student."
"My grades have always been among the top five in the grade. Their school has twelve classes per grade, with five to six hundred students."
Yu Zhiming smiled and agreed, "Very clever indeed."
However, this level of intelligence is still far from Yu Zhiming's expectations.
Only in the top five in the grade, not even first.
This kind of intelligence is only within the scope of ordinary people's intelligence and has not reached the level of a so-called genius.
Yu Qiao's mother seemed to see through Yu Zhiming's perfunctory attitude and continued, "Doctor Yu, you may not know that my Xiao Qiao was actually a stupid child when he was young."
"He didn't learn to speak until he was three years old."
“By the age of five or six, you can count to ten.”
"When I was in primary school, I would forget everything the teacher taught me after a good night's sleep, and I always ranked last in exams."
"But after entering junior high school, Xiaoqiao's brain started to open up, and his academic performance improved dramatically."
"I successfully passed the high school entrance exam and was admitted to a key high school..."
This new information gave Yu Zhiming an idea.
If Yu Qiao had been a rather dull child, this improvement in his grades would have been quite remarkable.
Perhaps, that's the problem.
Yu Zhiming interrupted Yu Qiao's mother and asked, "Has Yu Qiao's height stopped growing since he entered junior high school?"
This question made Yu Qiao's parents fall into memories.
The two of them exchanged glances, and Yu Qiao's mother said uncertainly, "Is that so?"
"In elementary school, Xiaoqiao's height was considered average among his classmates. He wasn't too tall or too short, so it wasn't that noticeable."
"By the time he reached junior high school, he had gradually become one of the shortest students in his class."
Ding Ye asked expectantly, "Doctor Yu, have you discovered any problems?"
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "Under normal circumstances, 20% of the blood discharged from a person's left ventricle is supplied to the brain."
"However, I feel that the blood volume input to Yu Qiao's brain accounts for more than this proportion, at least 25%."
"I suspect that Yu Qiao has consumed most of his body's nutrients due to overusing his brain."
Yu Zhiming's explanation really surprised Yu Qiao's parents and Ding Ye.
This seems a bit too much.
Yu Zhiming explained his unique insight, saying, "Even compared to Yu Qiao's slender body, the blood vessels in his body are a bit thin."
"But the blood vessels in his brain..."
Yu Zhiming said confidently: "Compared to ordinary people, it seems a little thicker."
"One side is slightly thinner, the other side is slightly thicker. I can't make a mistake with such a clear difference."
"This is probably the result of years of extensive brain use and development."
Finally, Yu Zhiming left room for his words and said, "Of course, this is just my preliminary judgment. It needs more accurate inspection data to confirm it."
He comforted her again, "Please rest assured. Since Teacher Qi has taken over, he will definitely give you a result..."
Yu Zhiming left the ward with Ding Ye's farewell.
"Doctor Yu, I think your judgment is very likely true. I still remember some of my cousin's childhood. He was incredibly stupid and often became the talk of relatives."
"After entering junior high school, his grades improved."
Ding Ye sighed and said, "From what I can see now, he didn't become smarter because of enlightenment, but because he became more sensible due to stimulation."
"He knows shame and glory. His academic performance improvement was achieved by working hard and starting early."
"The price is that I can't grow taller..."
Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan Community and was surprised to find that Gu Qingning had come again.
Moreover, the living room was a mess and full of things.
"Yu Zhiming, I went home last night and thought about it, and I still feel that I can't bow to my family and obey their arrangements."
“So, I moved out of my home.”
"Yu Zhiming, I want to be self-reliant and live my own life."
"I'll stay here for a while."
"I'll move out once the company I invested in, your eldest nephew's, makes a lot of money..."
Yu Zhiming slapped his forehead in frustration, thinking to himself, this girl thinks they are easy to bully, so she shamelessly clings to them.
"Fourth sister, remember to calculate her rent and living expenses."
"We must overestimate the situation and let her experience the wickedness of society and human nature first..."
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, investment, etc. There will be another update in the afternoon!
