Yu Zhiming gave singer Li Lifen a physical examination. Apart from some existing physical problems, he did not find any inflammation or organic lesions that could cause the deafness in her left ear.
This made Yu Zhiming more and more certain that the deafness was caused by the toxic effects of the drugs.
As for the diagnosis and subsequent treatment, we still need the analysis report of the drug...
Around six o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming received a call from Gu Qingran.
"Tomorrow, the stage is basically complete. We are now debugging the lighting and sound, as well as the live broadcast camera."
Gu Qingran said over the phone, "After another busy night, the entire venue will probably be ready for use tomorrow morning so we can rehearse."
Yu Zhiming said happily, "This is great news. The charity gala has finally overcome all difficulties and can be held smoothly."
Gu Qingran sighed and said, "It is indeed against all odds."
"Zhiming, you don't know. When I learned last night that the Zhongshan Theater couldn't be used due to a safety hazard, I was devastated. I felt like it was all over, over, over."
"What surprised me most was..."
Gu Qingran said with great emotion: "In addition to Binhai Normal University providing the venue and the military providing the hangar, we also received enthusiastic help from many units and companies in setting up the stage, arranging the lighting and sound systems, etc."
"Under normal circumstances, it would take three or four days to build a large performance venue from scratch, but they basically completed it in just one day and one night."
Gu Qingran sighed again, "Zhiming, you don't know. At the peak today, there were two to three hundred people working at the same time. They were not only working enthusiastically, but also in an orderly manner, and their work efficiency was extremely high."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Our country has always been good at large-scale battles and working together to complete major projects."
Gu Qingran said on the other end of the phone, "Today I've personally experienced the strength of our country's organizational capabilities."
After a pause of two or three seconds, Gu Qingran's voice came out of the phone again, "Zhiming, compared to the Zhongshan Theater, our new venue is even larger and can accommodate more than 1,100 people."
"You can bring some family members to watch the ceremony..."
After finishing the phone call with Gu Qingran, it was already past the 6pm closing time.
Yu Zhiming walked out of the soundproof office and said to Shen Qi, Duan Yi, and Zhou Mo in the large office, "Inform everyone that each team member can bring two family members to the charity gala..."
After a burst of cheers, Yu Zhiming arranged for Zhou Luo to inform Li Lifen of the analysis results as soon as the report came out.
Afterwards, Yu Zhiming left Zhizhen Building accompanied by Zhang Hai and Zhou Mo.
Because of the preparations for the charity gala, Yu Zhiming does not have to come to the hospital to work tomorrow, Wednesday, and Thursday.
When he arrived at the underground parking lot of the hospital's comprehensive office building, Yu Zhiming found someone waiting next to the Phantom car.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but frown. The man turned out to be Wang Yan, a cardiologist at Jingcheng Hospital.
Only a few days had passed since their last meeting, and Yu Zhiming suddenly discovered that Wang Yan looked older and thinner.
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming waved his hand to interrupt the other party and said, "Doctor Wang Yan, if you want to discuss cooperation, forget it."
"Doctor Yu..."
Wang Yan said anxiously, "I admit that I concealed something when we met last time and wasn't honest enough."
"Doctor Yu, this time, let's put aside all the unnecessary things and just talk about benefits and conditions."
After a pause, Wang Yan said anxiously, "My goal is to save only one person, a very talented woman from the Chu family who has a serious genetic heart disease."
Wang Yan took a deep breath and said, "Doctor Yu, I won't hide it from you. She and I have a very close relationship. It goes beyond husband and wife and has reached the level of soul mates."
"For her, I'm willing to give everything. Doctor Yu, please state your conditions."
Yu Zhiming was somewhat surprised to hear such words from a successful medical expert in his fifties or sixties.
I guess even young people who are just beginning to fall in love today can’t make such a statement, right?
Yu Zhiming met Wang Yan's gaze and said, "Doctor Wang, you want to save a woman from the Chu family. As a renowned cardiologist in China, you yourself are at a loss as to how to solve this problem. Do you think I can solve it?"
Wang Yan said with a painful expression, "I know, and I also know that you are just good at finding problems."
"But I have no other choice."
"Her condition is getting worse, and her attacks are becoming more frequent. She may fall asleep and never wake up again."
"Doctor Yu, you are the last straw of hope."
Wang Yan pleaded, "Doctor Yu, as long as you do your best to help me, no matter what the outcome, I can work at Ning'an Hospital for the rest of my life without any salary."
Seeing that this guy was a little obsessed, Yu Zhiming was even more afraid to agree to him.
People like this tend to go to extremes.
He quietly took a half step back and changed the subject, asking, "Doctor Wang, have you exhausted all possible treatments?"
"Like, a heart transplant?"
Wang Yan said, "The Chu family has conducted heart transplant treatment trials more than once, but none of them lasted more than two months."
"Their genetic heart disease affects not only the heart but the entire body."
"Simply transplanting a heart won't solve the problem."
It’s so serious...
Yu Zhiming casually asked, "An artificial heart?"
Wang Yan was stunned and said, "I haven't tried it yet. An artificial heart is not a living thing. It only works mechanically and cannot sense any malicious intent from the body..."
"Maybe it will work, maybe it will work, maybe it really works."
Yu Zhiming saw that Wang Yan's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the next moment, he walked away quickly with a thoughtful look on his face.
“This person…”
Zhou Mo looked at Wang Yan's back as he left, curled his lips and said, "He got the treatment from Doctor Yu, but he ran away without even saying thank you."
"Just now he said that as long as we help wholeheartedly, he's willing to give everything, no matter what the outcome."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "The problem is, I didn't help with all my heart. This artificial heart is just a stopgap measure."
The current technology of artificial hearts has not yet reached maturity. Not only is it expensive, but it is also only a transitional method, requiring patients to endure for several more months while waiting for a heart donor.
However, there are some very successful cases. The current record for the longest survival of an artificial heart implant is seven years.
But most artificial hearts only last a few months...
When Yu Zhiming was about to reach home in the Phantom, he received a call from Zhou Luo.
"Teacher, the drug analysis report for Li Lifen is out, and the yellow powder contains a high dose of gentamicin."
"It's a type of aminoglycoside antibiotic. Deafness caused by this type of drug accounts for about one-third of deafness cases in recent years..."
