Chapter 14 It Ended Before It Began
79, 78, 80, 78, 78, 80...
Doctor Xi Zhen looked at the numbers on the monitoring display, which were steadily changing between these three numbers. She then looked at the overly young face and suddenly felt a strong sense of unreality.
It felt like a dream for a moment.
The unsolvable problem that troubled all obstetricians was easily solved by this young doctor?
She never believed that anyone could cure umbilical cord torsion.
However, I couldn't resist the earnest requests of the pregnant woman and her family, and in order to make them give up, I agreed to contact the so-called colleague who was shamelessly speaking and lying online.
Xi Zhen originally thought that the man would find many excuses to shirk responsibility.
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed.
What I didn’t expect was that people also came.
And he is unexpectedly young and has no fear.
In this case, Xi Zhen did not do much to stop him, nor did she verify the other party's true ability. She even encouraged him to go to the operating room to show his skills.
Xi Zhen had to admit it.
She has a dark mindset and is quite impulsive. It's because the pregnant woman and her family members are so stubborn that they refuse to listen to her advice as an expert.
Xi Zhen secretly believed that women in menopause have the right to do whatever they want.
Besides, with her as a backup, no matter how bad the situation is, it won’t be that bad.
The actual situation of the fetus is there, and the possibility of survival is very slim.
Xi Zhen wants to use cruel facts to make pregnant women and their families understand it very clearly and personally.
The so-called "folk remedies can cure serious diseases, and experts are among the people" is nothing but self-deceptive comfort.
In today's society, there are no more rural sages or hidden masters. They are all just charlatans.
But the fact is, she was wrong and was severely slapped in the face.
When Xi Zhen saw Yu Zhiming stop what he was doing, she knew the treatment was complete and she couldn't help but raise her hands and applaud.
With her taking the lead, the other observers gave warm applause without hesitation.
Inside the operating room, there was a burst of applause.
Excited Su Tong jumped up to Yu Zhiming and punched him in the chest.
"Zhiming, how come you have such great ability?"
"Three days without seeing you is enough to describe how different you have become."
She patted her chest again, looking as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart.
"Zhiming, do you know?"
"When I saw you entering the operating room, I was shocked and terrified."
Su Tong gave Yu Zhiming another little punch.
"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "How about a big meal?"
At this moment, a voice interrupted.
"You two know each other?"
Su Tong shrank back and replied cautiously: "Director, we are college classmates."
Xi Zhen said indifferently, looked at Yu Zhiming, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Yu, let's go outside."
"The treatment is over, and we don't want the family to wait in fear for too long."
"Okay, Doctor Xi, please go first..."
Yu Zhiming responded politely, and then said to Su Tong, "You should stay with us too."
"I have to rush back tonight, so I can't stay in Jinling for long..."
When Mr. Xiao learned that the treatment was successful and his unborn grandson was completely out of danger, and after getting confirmation from Xi Zhen, his eyes immediately turned red with excitement.
Xiao's mother even covered her mouth and sobbed.
When Yu Zhiming said goodbye, Xiao's father excitedly grabbed Yu Zhiming's arm.
"Doctor Yu, how can this be possible?"
"You drove thousands of miles all night to come here, so you should at least have a good night's rest here. Let us treat you well before you go back!"
"If you just leave like this, you're slapping me in the face."
Yu Zhiming's arm felt a little painful from being held, and he deeply felt the other party's intention to keep him.
He continued to decline, "Mr. Xiao, mainly because there are patients waiting for me at the hospital. I can't stay."
This reason was strong enough that Xiao's father couldn't force him to stay, so he gave up.
"Doctor Yu, we need a midnight snack, right?"
"I've prepared everything here. It won't take long to have a midnight snack."
Yu Zhiming did feel a little hungry, so he nodded in agreement.
He pointed at Su Tong beside him.
"This is my college classmate, Su Tong, who is now a doctor at the Jinling University School of Medicine."
"It's been a long time since we last met..."
Father Xiao responded cheerfully: "Together, together."
"Doctor Yu, do you have any other classmates or friends? Call them over as well."
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "She's the only one!"
Su Tong felt a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but then Xi Zhen said, "Let's go together."
"Yes, Director!" Su Tong responded obediently...
Yu Zhiming changed his clothes, washed up briefly, and then left the obstetrics and gynecology building with his sister, Su Tong, and Dr. Xi Zhen, following the Xiao father and son.
"Hey, Su Tong..."
Yu Zhiming asked casually, "You haven't been home for such a long time, do you want to tell your boyfriend?"
Su Tong waved his hand and said, "No need."
"I told him when I came here earlier that it would probably be very late before I could go back."
Click...
Yu Zhiming seemed to hear the sound of a broken heart, and an indescribable pain and discomfort spread throughout his body...
The dining location is in a luxury RV converted from a large bus parked inside the hospital.
The midnight snacks are all Jinling specialties, including duck blood vermicelli soup, salted duck, pearl stewed raw croaker, lion head and other delicacies.
The dishes tasted delicious and soothed Yu Zhiming's wounded heart a little.
Halfway through her meal, Xi Zhen couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Doctor Yu, excuse me, is your massage technique for treating umbilical cord torsion a family tradition?"
"still……"
Yu Zhiming didn't want outsiders to know too much about his health, so he replied vaguely, "My father was a barefoot doctor in the countryside, and he studied Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"Later, he failed to pass the medical qualification exam, so he became an honest farmer."
"Father always said that his master was once an imperial physician, but later became a commoner."
"We don't know whether it's true or not."
What Yu Zhiming said was not made up casually.
His father did work as a barefoot doctor for a few years, and he did say that his medical skills were inherited from imperial physicians.
But, my family members don’t believe it.
My father's medical skills are hard to describe. Even when my mother was not feeling well, she refused to let him treat her.
My father has been so neglected that he can’t even take a pulse.
He can now prescribe three prescriptions: a sweating prescription, a prescription for treating indigestion, and a prescription for relieving heat and diarrhea.
After listening to Yu Zhiming's words, Xi Zhen sighed and said, "Those practices back then, promoting Western medicine and suppressing traditional Chinese medicine, were too simplistic and crude. They wiped out at least hundreds of thousands of grassroots traditional Chinese medicine practitioners across the country in one fell swoop. It can be said that many talents were buried."
After a pause, she tentatively asked, "Doctor Yu, are you interested in developing your career in Jinling?"
Yu Zhiming declined politely, "Dr. Xi, thank you for your approval. If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to Binhai to work in the near future."
When Xi Zhen heard this, she understood that someone had spotted a talent and had poached the person ahead of time, so she stopped talking...
After having supper, when Yu Zhiming and his sister said goodbye and left, they received gifts from the Xiao family's father and son.
A stuffed men's handbag, and a large embroidered bag that was filled with things and quite heavy.
Yu Zhiming said goodbye to Su Tong briefly, promised to keep in touch, and then drove away from Gulou Hospital...
"Old Five, think more positively. A broken heart makes a man mature. This means you've grown up again."
Yu Zhiming, who was driving, gave his sister a sidelong glance and said unhappily, "How can I say I'm heartbroken? It's over before it even began."
Yu Xiangwan insisted: "Secret love is also love."
Yu Zhiming snorted and changed the subject: "Sister, take a look at what gifts they gave you."
Sure enough, the gift was more attractive. Yu Xiangwan put her handbag and big bag on her legs and looked through them.
First, Yu Xiangwan took out stacks of brand new Mao Zedong notes from her handbag.
"Eight, nine, ten!"
"Old Five, there are ten bundles in total, a full 100,000. The Xiao family is quite trustworthy, so we'll give you whatever you ask for."
"We need to keep in touch with such a big client, Lao Wu."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes at his sister.
Yu Xiangwan took something out of the big bag again.
"Vacuum-packed salted duck, two!"
"Two boxes of premium Yuhua tea!"
"These are... two exquisite folding fans!"
"There are also two bottles of red wine in wooden boxes. They should be from France. They look quite old and should be quite valuable."
"That's all..."
