The next morning, Yu Zhiming, who was doing longevity exercises, received a call from his brother-in-law.
"Zhiming, I've thought about it carefully and I think it would be better for Ning'an Hospital to recruit Dr. Sakurada Akemi."
Gu Qingran said on the phone: "Although Ning An has recruited several well-known domestic experts during this period, I still feel that we are still lacking one or two masters who can suppress the hospital's luck."
"I think this Dr. Sakurada is a good fit."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "You sound like they're just trying to be nice and waiting for you to dig them out."
Gu Qingran chuckled and said, "Although Huashan Second Hospital is a joint-stock company, it is still primarily state-owned. We can't offer Dr. Sakurada overly generous conditions."
"Ning An doesn't have this concern. Adding you to the mix, I think the possibility of taking down Dr. Sakurada is very high."
He added proudly, "We'll return to Binhai today. I'll take over Dr. Sakurada's reception duties. I guarantee she'll be so happy she won't want to leave."
Yu Zhiming said jokingly, "Brother-in-law, let's make it clear first. You must stick to the bottom line and not use the beauty trap to offer yourself up."
Gu Qingran laughed and said, "If it's really necessary, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for the national medical cause."
"Don't mention it, this Doctor Sakurada still has charm, looks and figure, he's still pretty good."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming heard an angry voice coming from the phone, "Gu Qingran, you like middle-aged women..."
After finishing the call with Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming continued to exercise, eat breakfast, and go out to work. He arrived at the Zhizhen Building of the hospital at about the same time as before.
Entering Zhizhen Building, Yu Zhiming met brothers Lu Yunjin and Lu Yunlin, who had invested in a pharmaceutical glass factory in their hometown, as well as their son and daughter-in-law.
A month has passed since their daughter-in-law's last prenatal checkup. In order to find out as early as possible whether the fetus has developmental abnormalities due to family genetic problems, Yu Zhiming promised to give them a prenatal checkup every month.
"You're here so early?"
Lu Yunjin explained with a smile, "I'm not even three months pregnant yet, so we can't rush. Yesterday, our family leisurely came to Binhai..."
Yu Zhiming packed up quickly and took the person to the soundproof examination room for a pregnancy test.
Yu Zhiming first did a pregnancy check on Lu Yunjin's daughter-in-law. As soon as he started the examination, he found the problem.
Lu Yunjin noticed Yu Zhiming's expression change, and his heart skipped a beat. He asked anxiously, "Doctor Yu, is there something wrong?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "One of the children is gone."
During the last pregnancy check-up, he found out that the woman had two gestational sacs, meaning she was pregnant with twins.
But this time, when they checked again, they found that there was only one fetus.
"Doctor Yu, are you saying that my daughter-in-law's twins are gone? They're just one child now?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "It's true that twins have turned into a single baby. This is not uncommon in the early stages of pregnancy."
After a pause, he continued, "In the early stages of pregnancy, sometimes there is a splitting of the egg, where one egg splits into two, which means a single fetus becomes twins."
"At the same time, fusion and ablation can also occur. That is, two gestational sacs fuse into one or one of the gestational sacs ablates due to genetic problems, developmental abnormalities, external factors, etc."
Yu Zhiming added: "Mr. Lu, your daughter-in-law's still-living fetus is developing normally."
Lu Yunjin said with a bitter face, "Twins! The only twins in several generations of my Lu family are gone just like that."
"I've been happy for a month in vain..."
Yu Zhiming also conducted a pregnancy test and a physical examination on Lu Yunlin's daughter-in-law and found no problems.
Lu Yunjin asked again with a worried tone, "Doctor Yu, are these two children all right?"
Yu Zhiming said: "I don't see any problems at the moment."
"However, the fetus is still too small and not yet fully formed. Many organs and tissues are still undifferentiated. We need to wait another month or two before we can do a more detailed examination."
Lu Yunjin uttered an "oh," and then continued with a look of deep sorrow, "My twin grandchildren! They are the only twins in our Lu family's generations."
Yu Zhiming was about to persuade him again when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Lu, how many people in your Lu family have this genetic defect?"
Lu Yunjin was stunned for a moment and said, "Not many, only about a dozen households."
Yu Zhiming asked again, "How many generations back have these more than ten families ever had twins?"
Lu Yunjin nodded and said, "I've never given birth to twins. My wife was a virgin, but she died."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Perhaps they have conceived twins before, but just like your daughter-in-law, it was only a flash in the pan, and soon the two gestational sacs turned into one."
"After all, your Lu family has a genetic defect."
Lu Yunjin asked anxiously, "Doctor Yu, are you saying that our genetic defect will not only cause our children to become mentally retarded, but will also cause twins to become singletons, meaning we can only have one?"
Yu Zhiming still had a suspicion in his mind, perhaps this stupidity was also related to the twins becoming a single baby.
Sometimes twins fuse into one, and they may have deformities or developmental problems.
Yu Zhiming said cautiously, "This is just my guess. After all, the probability of having twins is less than one percent. It's normal that your Lu family hasn't given birth to twins for several generations."
"But once you have a suspicion, you can't let it go."
Yu Zhiming warned: "Mr. Lu, if anyone in your tribe is pregnant, please remember to send them to me for a checkup immediately."
Lu Yunjin responded with a gloomy expression...
After sending the Lu family away, Yu Zhiming saw Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi and Duan Yi coming over with dejected looks.
"Doctor Yu, we're sorry to disappoint you. We still have no idea what's causing the violinist's sporadic hand tremors."
Zhou Luo said with a look of shame: "Last night, the four of us, as well as Gong Yue and Qiu Yi, consulted until after eleven o'clock."
"Doctor Yu, we disappoint you."
Yu Zhiming said: "I am not disappointed. I myself cannot find the cause of every difficult and complicated disease. As long as there is nothing wrong with what I can do, it's fine."
He then went on to make arrangements: "Tell the violinist to come to me at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhou Mo again and asked, "Hey, did you guys reach a consensus on that unconscious female patient?"
"Doctor Yu, I was just about to report this to you."
Zhou Mo said angrily, "I'll take the waiver and authorization agreement to them to sign."
"The patient's husband changed his mind at the last minute, saying he was the primary guardian and had the right to make decisions for his wife. He wanted conservative treatment to save the unborn child."
"Now, the two sides are arguing again."
Yu Zhiming was somewhat speechless and said, "In that case, let them go back to where they came from and free up the beds for patients who need them more..."
