Chapter 144: Neither Side
A little after five in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming was studying the medical information of the beautiful boy in the large office when he was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the beautiful gynecologist Ding Ye.
This girl sat down on Yu Zhiming's desk without any ladylike image.
"Doctor Yu, the breast cancer research is being led by Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital, and we are assisting. Our Boss Liu is very unhappy."
Yu Zhiming glanced at her.
"That's not something I can complain about."
"Who the hospital cooperates with and how the cooperation is carried out? I have no say at all. I just passively accept the notifications."
At this time, Qiao Lei very considerately brought a cup of hot tea and pulled a chair over.
"Beautiful doctor, please have some tea and sit here!"
Ding Ye moved his butt, stood up, took the teacup, and looked at Qiao Lei up and down with interest.
"Doctor Yu, this is the new intern you've recruited at your center? His physique and appearance are quite good!"
"My new assistant, Qiao Lei!"
Yu Zhiming briefly introduced himself and then urged, "Do you have something to say? If so, please speak up. If not, please leave."
"Can't you see I'm busy?"
Ding Ye quickly sat down and moved his chair closer to Yu Zhiming.
"Our boss also knew that this was the decision of the hospital leadership, and that a large portion of the fat meat needed to be cut off to Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital."
Ding Ye added angrily, "Whenever there's something good going on over there, they never think of sharing any of the profits with us."
"We are the ones who take the initiative to offer benefits every time. We are really flattering."
Ding Ye complained, and seeing Yu Zhiming's cold gaze, he quickly put on a smiling face.
"Our boss said, Doctor Yu, you are a friend and a trustworthy partner. You will definitely continue to work closely with us."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and exposed the truth: "Every time I went to your place, I was dragged there by you, okay?"
Ding Ye chuckled and said, "As a grown man, if you really resist, we weak women won't be able to stop you."
"Is that so, Doctor Yu?"
Yu Zhiming's face couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Are you still weak women?
Each of them has stronger hands than me, okay?
Ding Ye quickly explained his purpose, "To thank you, Doctor Yu, for your enthusiastic help, our boss has decided to host a banquet at the Youyou Hotel tonight. Please be sure to come, Doctor Yu!"
Yu Zhiming quickly shook his head and refused.
"No, really. Director Liu is too polite. No need to treat me. Besides, Teacher Qi has a new patient and will have a case discussion meeting tomorrow."
"I haven't got a clue yet, and I don't have time tonight."
Attending Director Liu's banquet is like attending the Hongmen Banquet. Yu Zhiming would be a fool to go there.
Moreover, there was no falsehood in his words of refusal.
In the past few weeks, Yu Zhiming either missed several difficult case discussions held by Teacher Qi due to being busy or engaged in other matters, or made no contribution at the seminars.
He thought that he couldn't always do things outside the walls, he had to show his ability in his own territory.
Therefore, Yu Zhiming is really studying the case of this beautiful boy carefully in the hope of making some discoveries.
Seeing that Yu Zhiming didn't seem to be refusing intentionally, and knowing that Director Qi always had strict requirements, Ding Ye didn't continue to invite him.
"I'll have a good talk with the boss. Next time I'll send out the invitation a few days in advance to give you some time to prepare."
Ding Ye was considerate for a moment, then said mysteriously, "The little patient that Qiu Yi took away from you..."
"Do you know what Qiu Yi's diagnosis is?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and asked again, "Do you know?"
"Munchausen syndrome by proxy!"
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled, then asked in confirmation, "So, the one who is truly sick is the child's mother?"
Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a rare mental illness in which the person fabricates symptoms of another person's illness, particularly a child, younger sibling, or other person in need of care.
The purpose is to gain the attention of others.
Ding Ye nodded and said, "Qiu Yi said that although the young patient was very weak, the physical examination data showed that there was no physical problem."
"He was simply taught by his closest relatives that he was weak and sick from a young age, so it was deeply ingrained in his mind that he was a sickly child."
"Also, the long-term meticulous care has left him like a greenhouse flower, unable to withstand even the slightest wind and rain. As a result, he gets headaches, catches colds, and feels unwell at the slightest change in the outside world."
"This, in turn, further reinforces the perception that he is just a sickly child."
Ding Ye took a sip of tea and continued, "It is said that the child's mother came from a poor family and was a minor celebrity."
"After marrying into a wealthy family, I wasn't very well-liked by my family, and the child's father was constantly flying back and forth to discuss business."
"That child is the mother's only one."
"The child is often unwell, and the mother's meticulous care allows her to gain constant attention from her husband, as well as recognition and praise from his family."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Now that you put it that way, I think it makes perfect sense."
"But, so many medical experts have seen that child. Even though Munchausen syndrome by proxy is rare, none of them noticed it?"
Ding Ye went on to explain, "It is said that the child's grandfather is a firm believer in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and most of the famous doctors he hired for the child were renowned experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine."
"Traditional Chinese medicine isn't very good at treating psychological problems, and the child is indeed physically weak and sickly."
"They have been treating it as if it's just a case of weakness, but that only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause, so the results have been minimal."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Ding Ye chuckled again and said, "I heard that Qiu Yi originally wanted to use this case to build up his presence for his return and stage a comeback as a king."
"I just didn't expect that, by such a coincidence, you'd run into a fool who swallowed a loach alive, and that you had that shocking stab."
"Your emergency case was much more sensational than his Munchausen syndrome by proxy case."
"In addition, this very early stage cancer project has attracted the attention of almost all the medical experts in the hospital."
"So, you see..."
Ding Ye said with a gloating look, "Qiu Yi's return this time was very peaceful and not many people paid attention to it!"
"In the past, all the young doctors in the hospital would at least get together and hold a tea party to welcome these young doctors who have returned from further training."
"But until today, there has been no movement."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "That wave of young doctors who went on further training probably haven't all returned yet, right?"
"They are all back, someone will take the lead in organizing it."
"Come to think of it, I've been in the hospital for a month now, and no one has invited me to any activities."
Ding Ye glanced at him in a very charming way.
"Doctor Yu, your identity is too special."
"He's younger than us, but he's been specially recruited by the hospital. His salary is comparable to that of a chief physician."
"Coupled with the subsequent series of events, your fame has skyrocketed, and you've become detached from the masses."
"We young doctors wouldn't dare invite you to your current state. As for those activities of famous doctors, I guess you're being subtly rejected by them, right?"
Yu Zhiming couldn't help laughing.
"In other words, I'm stuck in the middle, unable to go up or down, stuck in the middle, and shut out by everyone."
Ding Ye smiled and said, "Doctor Yu, you are so humble and kind. We are naturally very happy to welcome you."
"If you're really interested, I'll take you with me next time we have an event?"
To be honest, Yu Zhiming doesn't really like social activities, but considering Fourth Sister's marriage...
He nodded and replied, "Okay, you have an event and I happen to be free, I will definitely attend."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming turned and asked, "Doctor Ding, your cousin Yu Qiao?"
Ding Ye smiled brightly and said, "Speaking of Yu Qiao, I have to thank you very much."
"I had a video call with him last night, and it was obvious that he was much more cheerful, as if a layer of shackles had been broken off."
"No matter whether he grows taller or not, the most important thing is that he is in a good mood and lives happily..."
