Chapter 1341 The Gap in Thinking
American patient Da Costa was somewhat disappointed that Yu Zhiming only gave him an uncertain diagnosis.
However, given Yu Zhiming's past record, he still wanted to give this trial and error treatment a try.
However, what Yu Zhiming said was serious. If it turned out to be true, the disease would flare up violently and could be life-threatening, which made Da Costa extremely cautious again.
Although this country has a man named Yu Zhiming who can even cure advanced cancer, Da Costa still looks down on the medical level here, at least it is far behind that of the United States.
He thought for a moment and said, "Doctor Yu, you said this trial and error treatment, if it works correctly it can be extremely dangerous. To be on the safe side, I'd like you to go to the United States and do this trial and error treatment on me."
Yu Zhiming refused, "I'm sorry, but I can't take a long-distance flight due to my health, and the time doesn't allow it."
Director Chen of the Trauma Surgery Department at the Fifth Municipal Hospital, who had accompanied Da Costa, broke down and advised, "Mr. Da Costa, Dr. Yu has the ability to discern significant changes from subtle observations. He can detect subtle changes in the body during a severe attack and make targeted adjustments to the treatment."
"With more than one doctor supervising the treatment process, the risk is greatly reduced, and even fatal dangers can be averted."
Mr. Da Costa asked in disbelief, "Didn't even Dr. Yu admit that he's only good at identifying problems, not solving them?"
He went on to say, "The United States has the most advanced medical equipment in the world, so monitoring changes in the body should be very easy."
Seeing that this guy was more willing to trust the cold instruments and equipment, Director Chen stopped trying to persuade him.
If they are not close friends or relatives, appropriate persuasion will be enough.
As for Yu Zhiming, he would not persuade people forcefully, but would only give suggestions, adhering to the principle of making one's own decisions about one's own life.
Seeing that Yu Zhiming refused to go to the United States, Da Costa politely said that since it might involve life and death, he needed to consider it seriously, and then left the soundproof examination room.
Yu Zhiming continued his interrupted outpatient work and did not finish today's work until nearly six o'clock in the evening.
He left the soundproof examination room and walked a few steps into the ordinary examination room diagonally opposite. He found that Zhou Luo, Qiu Yi, and Gong Yue who was participating remotely were still discussing the condition of the father of the woman who wanted to sell herself.
Zhou Luo reported: "Teacher, we have ruled out five possible diseases, including polio. We are increasingly inclined to believe that it may be some kind of mutated super virus."
The so-called super virus does not refer to a new virus, but a general term for viruses that are multi-drug resistant, very difficult to treat, and highly dangerous.
Yu Zhiming looked at the various disease names on the whiteboard that had been crossed out or marked with question marks, and said, "Judging from the information on this whiteboard, you've made a lot of bold assumptions."
"However, in my opinion, you clearly missed one thing and are not bold enough."
"What's missing?" Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Qiu Yi and Gong Yue asked almost in unison.
Yu Zhiming said slowly, "We all know that this patient's condition has been worsening for more than a month."
"If the patient's condition only lasted three to five days, what else do you think could happen?"
"The illness will only last three to five days?" Zhou Luo, Qiu Yi and others murmured in thought.
The next moment, Qiu Yi's eyes lit up and he said, "Rabies!"
He said aloud, "Patients with rabies paralysis do not have the typical excitement phase or hydrophobia."
"It usually starts with symptoms such as high fever, headache, and vomiting, followed by limb weakness, abdominal distension, ataxia, muscle paralysis, and incontinence. These symptoms are 70% similar to those of this patient."
Zhou Luo questioned, "But teacher, once rabies breaks out, the mortality rate within seven days is as high as 100%."
"This patient has been suffering from an attack for more than a month, and he is still alive."
Yu Zhiming said softly, "Since you've all made such a bold assumption, you shouldn't have ruled out rabies simply because the symptoms are quite similar."
After a pause, he continued slowly, "Of course, I must admit that the possibility of this patient having rabies is extremely small, but is there really no possibility at all?"
"Given the complexity of individuals and the mutation of the rabies virus, is there really no possibility at all?"
Yu Zhiming added, "You should know that even though AIDS is generally considered incurable, there are exceptions. Two AIDS patients have already been confirmed to have recovered for unknown reasons."
Seeing Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Qiu Yi, and Gong Yue on the tablet computer all nodding as if they were learning, Yu Zhiming felt a sense of accomplishment as a teacher.
In fact, last night, Yu Zhiming saw that the patient had been suffering for more than a month, so he naturally ruled out rabies.
Just now, Yu Zhiming saw that there were many diseases written on the whiteboard, but rabies was not one of them, so he took the opportunity to bring up rabies.
Of course, he didn't think the patient had rabies.
"Have you been screened for rabies?"
Zhou Luo shook his head and said, "Not only us, but also the several hospitals treating the patient have naturally ruled out this possibility."
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "At this point, since we still have no clue, any possibility, even the smallest one, must be ruled out in a substantial way, rather than just assumed."
Zhou Luo nodded and said, "Yes, teacher. I will contact the hospital where the patient is and ask them to do a rabies test."
Yu Zhiming hummed a satisfied sigh and said, "You guys continue to discuss. If you still have no clue by tomorrow morning, have the family send the patient to us."
After Yu Zhiming said this, he left the ordinary examination room in the style of a teacher.
Qiu Yi withdrew his gaze from the closed door, took a deep breath, and said with emotion, "I've learned something from Dr. Yu again. This isn't a gap in intelligence, it's a gap in thinking."
"Since this is a difficult and complicated disease that several of us have been struggling with, we really shouldn't focus on one or two so-called impossibilities and automatically rule out possible illnesses."
"With billions of people, the diversity and complexity of people, and the variability in the development of diseases, nothing is impossible."
Zhou Luo, Gong Yue and the others all looked in agreement...
Yu Zhiming returned to the soundproof office and said to Zhou Mo, who had followed him in, "I realized I forgot something. Can you help me figure out how to arrange the order of students among Zhou Luo, Ding Ye, and the other five? Who will be the eldest senior brother?"
Zhou Mo uttered a sigh and said, "Doctor Yu, Zhou Luo is very concerned about this position of senior brother. As for Ding Ye and Sui Chi, they are also somewhat concerned, but not as much as Zhou Luo."
"How about you let them compete with each other, and whoever is the most powerful will be the eldest brother?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at her and said, "It's not easy to compete. They each have their own strengths, and it's difficult to design a competition topic. If I make a bad one, it will seem like I'm biased."
He then asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Mo replied, "Dean Gu called and said that Doctor Wang Yan has arrived in Binhai. He also said that if it's convenient for you, we can arrange a meeting tonight..."
