Chapter 1242 Who has the final say?
Around noon, Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office and saw Zhou Mo setting up lunch.
Yu Zhiming first went to the bathroom to wash up, then sat down at the coffee table in the reception area, picked up the soup bowl and gulped down two big mouthfuls of sea cucumber soup.
He put down the soup bowl and heard Zhou Mo's voice in his ears.
"Doctor Yu, you proposed three treatment options to the family of the comatose patient, but each treatment has uncertainties."
Yu Zhiming raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Mo, saying, "No one can give a definitive answer to the treatment of brain injuries."
Zhou Mo asked again: "Then, which one do you recommend them to choose?"
Yu Zhiming said softly, "Frankly speaking, given the patient's brain injury and coma, puncture and ablation of the blood clot may not be the best option. Perhaps maintaining the status quo and allowing for a slow, autonomous recovery is best."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "If I were the patient's family, I would definitely take the initiative and choose puncture to ablate the blood clot."
"Because you have never failed, luck will definitely be on your side."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Don't blindly believe me. I've failed before, quite a few times."
"Also, if the blood clot is dissolved through puncture, anesthesia is required, and she is pregnant, which presents another choice issue."
Zhou Mo's eyes widened as he asked, "Does a patient like her who has been in a coma for a long time need anesthesia for surgery?"
"They shouldn't feel pain anymore, right?"
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you that people in a coma or vegetative state won't feel pain?"
He further explained: "These people still have instinctive reflexes and involuntary resistance to pain. Some patients can also regain consciousness after falling into a coma, respond to external stimuli, and feel pain."
"Of course, some patients in a deep coma cannot feel pain. And there are also some special coma patients whose bodies do not respond to pain at all, but their consciousness can feel it."
"Therefore, anesthesia is necessary when performing surgery on comatose patients and vegetative patients."
Zhou Mo suddenly realized something and said, "Anesthesia is indeed necessary. The doctor asked me to talk more and massage more to stimulate the patient. The patient can feel these stimuli, and pain, as the strongest stimulus, is definitely something he can feel."
Yu Zhiming sighed again and said, "Regardless of whether the surgery is done or not, the patient's physical condition is not suitable for pregnancy."
Zhou Mo nodded gently in agreement and said, "Pregnancy and childbirth are very difficult for healthy people, let alone a patient who is unconscious in bed and needs to recover on her own."
She added angrily, "The husband said he was trying to stimulate his wife, but in reality he was just trying to satisfy his own needs."
"Men, nothing more than that!"
Yu Zhiming glanced at Zhou Mo, but didn't defend the man. He buried his head in his food...
After dinner, Yu Zhiming led a group of people in the team out of Zhizhen Building to bask in the sun.
The sun is quite strong today. When I walked under the scorching sun, my exposed skin actually felt a slight stinging sensation.
Yu Zhiming felt that two or three minutes of sun exposure would be enough today.
"Doctor Yu..."
Zhou Luo brought Shen Qi, Sui Chi, and Duan Yi over. "We're tired of eating in the cafeteria every day, so we wanted to bring our own food to the hospital. But it's troublesome to bring food every day, so we thought each of us could bring our own food for a day and eat together."
"If it's not too much trouble for you, we'll bring your lunch along so you can have a change of pace."
Yu Zhiming was quite tempted by this proposal, but after thinking about it, he still felt that it was inappropriate.
They agreed to bring their own food to eat together, and the food just had to be better.
If he were to join them, the quality of the meal would not only be good, but also exquisite and high-end. The cost of a lunch would soar to over a thousand, which would be an understatement.
"Thank you for your kindness. But you don't have to bring it to me. I have an aunt at home who can cook for me."
"You guys already work hard, leaving early and coming back late, and you still have to meticulously prepare lunch for me the next day. It's unnecessary."
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, we didn't actually prepare this lunch ourselves. Our family prepared it for us."
"It's just a relatively sumptuous home-cooked meal once a week. It's not a burden for us. You're welcome."
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming also felt that it was quite feasible.
As for the additional financial burden, it is nothing considering their family income.
Furthermore, Yu Zhiming could just find a reason to give them more bonuses.
He chuckled and nodded, "In that case, I accept your kindness."
He looked at Duan Yi again and asked, "You're alone now. It's probably difficult to prepare lunch for everyone, right?"
Duan Yi chuckled and said, "My situation is clear, so I can only shamelessly eat the food everyone brought."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "I can't just eat your food. From now on, I will bring food to you one day every week."
Zhou Mo also immediately said: "I will take one day too, so that we can have five days a week..."
After agreeing to bring lunch, everyone finished basking in the sun.
Yu Zhiming returned to his soundproof office for a nap, while Zhou Mo took the medical team members to practice their catwalks...
Yu Zhiming was still busy with his afternoon work.
Wei Hao from the Municipal Bureau sent Yu Zhiming an authorization guardianship agreement for the abandoned little girl.
Yu Zhiming signed several documents and asked Zhao Fang to take the little girl to the PLA General Hospital in Beijing tomorrow.
He has already communicated with cardiac surgeon Luo Yu, and the little girl's surgery has been scheduled for this Friday.
As for the medical expenses, they will be temporarily borne by the Zhiming Charity Foundation, and the amount will depend on the financial ability of the little girl's mother.
The cooperation project between Huashan Hospital and Saudi Arabia Medical Research Center was also officially launched today.
They sent fifty patients in by special plane.
After a brief and solemn ceremony, Yu Zhiming gave physical examinations to the fifty people.
It has to be said that Arabic medicine, as a national medicine with a long history, has its own unique features.
After examining these fifty people, Yu Zhiming detected four cases of very early-stage cancer and thirteen cases of early- to mid-stage cancer.
There are also nine patients with no symptoms or mild symptoms who have serious organ problems that are about to erupt.
It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when Yu Zhiming finished the physical examination of fifty Arabs.
He returned to the soundproof office and Zhou Mo followed him in quickly.
"Doctor Yu, there was a quarrel, there was a quarrel."
Yu Zhiming looked up at Zhou Mo and saw him gossiping, "The parents of the unconscious female patient came and started arguing with their son-in-law."
"The patient's parents chose a puncture to dissolve the blood clot, or an abortion, but the patient's husband wanted to continue with the status quo and give birth to the child."
Zhou Mo asked again: "Doctor Yu, if they can't reach an agreement, who will have the final say?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "Chinese law stipulates that adults without civil capacity shall be appointed guardians by the following persons with guardianship capacity in the following order: 1. spouse; 2. parents or children; 3. other close relatives."
He added: "Her husband has the final say."
Zhou Mo exclaimed, "How can her husband have the final say on such a matter that could cost someone's life?"
"In today's society, there are very few parents who harm their children, but there are many who want their spouses to die."
Yu Zhiming said: "This is a mandatory provision of the law."
"If you want to avoid this kind of thing in the future, you can make an agreement in advance and designate who will be the primary guardian."
At this time, Zhou Luo knocked on the door and came in, saying with an embarrassed look:
"As for the violinist with trembling fingers, we still have no idea... We're sorry to disappoint you."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said calmly, "Think about it carefully tonight. If you still don't have a clue by tomorrow afternoon, leave it to me..."
