Chapter 1292 Fasting and water restriction
At around 9:30 in the evening, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi and Duan Yi, who had handled the follow-up matters of the apprenticeship banquet, gathered with Qiu Yi and Gong Yue in the large office on the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building.
Zhou Luo piled several stacks of medical information on his desk and pulled the clean whiteboard over.
"Here are all the records of the little boy's physical examinations at various hospitals over the past three years."
Zhou Luo introduced it and then said, "I asked the nurse, and she said that the little boy hasn't slept yet."
"Doctor Qiu, Doctor Gong, if you want to conduct a medical examination on the little boy..."
Qiu Yi shook his head and interrupted, "I don't need it. I don't have Dr. Yu's ability to see the big picture from the smallest details. The information I want to know can be found in this pile of information."
Gong Yue also shook his head.
Zhou Luo exchanged glances with Shen Qi, Sui Chi, and Duan Yi before speaking again, "Let's not hide anything. Let's first share our findings and speculations."
He picked up a whiteboard marker and wrote on the whiteboard, saying, "Based on the diagnosis and treatment records of several renowned doctors, we believe the following possibilities are the most likely explanation for the boy's unexplained fainting."
"One is that there is a subtle congenital defect or acquired disease somewhere in the body, which triggers syncope under certain conditions."
"The second is some kind of special allergic reaction."
"The third is that the little boy's syncope was caused by stress or self-suggestion for some reason."
"Fourth, some means of harming others."
Qiu Yi waited for Zhou Luo to finish speaking, then slowly said, "I think the first one is the most likely. I personally feel that the little boy's fainting is like a computer overloading and restarting."
"Something wrong with the boy's body means his body can't process a certain amount of accumulated information or something else, or perhaps an organ or system has reached its limit. He can only clear it out by fainting and restarting, allowing his body to start over."
Gong Yue nodded and said, "This speculation is quite possible. However, in this case, perhaps only Doctor Yu can see the big picture from the subtle details and detect congenital deformities or acquired diseases that cannot be detected by various medical instruments."
Duan Yi suddenly said, "Hypoglycemic patients will experience physical discomfort or fainting when their blood sugar drops to a certain level. When we are exhausted to the extreme, we can fall asleep immediately."
"Perhaps, we could induce fainting in the little boy through various methods to find out whether it was caused by excessive brain, excessive heart, excessive liver, or excessive fatigue?"
Shen Qi reminded him, "Don't forget, the little boy has had detailed records of forty-three fainting episodes over the past two years, and we haven't found any obvious commonalities or patterns."
"I think it's not a syncope caused by overdoing something or reaching a certain limit, but more like a triggered or reflex syncope without any gradual process or accumulation."
Duan Yi countered, “Even if it’s triggered or reflex syncope, there should be some commonalities and patterns.”
Sui Chi also said: "Perhaps this commonality and pattern is hidden in deeper details, and we haven't discovered it yet."
"It would be best to observe the little boy's fainting process a few times with your own eyes. Perhaps you can find something."
Duan Yi said: "There are eight fainting videos captured by surveillance video..."
Sui Chi frowned and said, "The video wasn't clear enough, and the angle wasn't good enough to see the problem."
Duan Yi rolled her eyes and said, "There's no pattern to the little boy's fainting spells. To achieve what you said about observing him with your own eyes, you'd have to be able to stay by his side for months without doing anything else."
"You also need some luck to help you."
"If we have this much time, we might as well try to stimulate the little boy in various ways and induce him to faint..."
Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshanfu Community, washed up quickly, and went straight to bed to rest. Then he closed his eyes and opened them again, and it was the next morning.
Because he had to rush to the hospital for a physical examination, Yu Zhiming had to control himself, not eat or drink, and keep his stomach empty.
Many items in health checkups or medical examinations require fasting.
The examination items that require fasting are mainly routine biochemical tests, including enzyme, blood sugar, lipid, liver and kidney function, and some endocrine tests, which generally require fasting for a period of time.
In addition, fasting is required during abdominal ultrasound examinations, gallbladder and common bile duct examinations, etc. Otherwise, the gallbladder will contract during bile discharge, which may easily lead to misdiagnosis or unclear ultrasound results.
During medical examinations such as gastrointestinal endoscopy and barium meal, strict fasting and abstinence from water are also required.
Yu Zhiming has always been unable to stand hunger, and this deliberate fasting and abstinence from water makes him feel particularly uncomfortable.
In addition, in order to reduce physical exertion, he even skipped his daily morning physical exercise.
Qing Ning quickly packed herself up, put some women's supplies into her bag, picked up the bag and said to the drooping Yu Zhiming, "Let's go to the hospital."
Yu Zhiming said, "I need to be on an empty stomach for the examination, but you don't need to be. Go have breakfast."
Qing Ning said solemnly, "As your lover, I must share the joys and sorrows with you. If you can't eat or drink, I will not drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice to accompany you."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to say that I'm touched, but your behavior is a bit childish. There's no need to show your kindness to me in this way."
"Waking up early in the morning without eating or drinking water has a significant impact on the body. Unless you have to fast like me, it's really not necessary."
"Hurry up and have breakfast..."
At Yu Zhiming's urging, Qing Ning drank a glass of milk as quickly as possible, ate two boiled eggs and two small pastries, and simply filled her stomach.
The two took the elevator to the underground parking lot and saw Sun Lin and Zhou Mo already waiting for him.
After getting into the car, Zhou Mo reported, "I learned from Zhou Luo that after nearly a night of discussion and research, the six of them have made some discoveries about the unexplained fainting of the little boy on Hong Kong Island, but you still need to conduct an examination to confirm it."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Zhou Mo continued, "Shen Qi's cousin, after a night of treatment, his kidney bleeding was under control."
"It's just that his kidneys are severely damaged and will take a long time to recover. It's hard to say how much recovery he will have."
Yu Zhiming said lightly, "The body is both tough and fragile. If you play with your body, your body will naturally repay you."
Zhou Mo echoed, "That person must be deeply regretting what he did to himself."
The next moment, she changed her topic and said, "Doctor Yu, with the charity gala approaching, some of the bigwigs who have confirmed they will be attending have tentatively asked if they can get a physical examination while they're there."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Yes, they donated generously, so we should also show our appreciation..."
Nearly an hour later, Yu Zhiming and others arrived at Huashan Hospital and went to the physical examination center first.
Yu Zhiming had to do the physical examination that required fasting first so that he could eat something quickly.
That way, he would have the energy and strength to check up the little boy from Hong Kong Island...
