It was Monday again. Yu Zhiming arrived at the Zhizhen Building of Huashan Hospital ten minutes earlier than usual and met Zhou Luo and his parents in the large office on the third underground floor.
After Yu Zhiming exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhou Luo's parents, Zhou Luo's father, Zhou Jian, a pathology specialist at the hospital, said with a hint of pride, "Doctor Yu, I'm sorry to bother you this time."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's not a problem. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for two or three days due to personal reasons."
Zhou Luo's mother, Yang Sican, the editor-in-chief of the Science and Technology Press, said with a smile, "Doctor Yu, you are too polite."
"My condition isn't an emergency, so I can wait a few more days. Your health is the responsibility of billions of families, so it's of utmost importance and cannot be taken lightly."
She stroked her belly and sighed embarrassedly, "I'll retire in two more years. What's the big deal?"
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "This is a good thing. It will make your retirement life more colorful."
Zhou Luo chuckled and said, "Mom, you know Miaomiao is still young. It will take many years for her and I to get married and have children."
"Mom, if you think about it this way, raising this child as your grandson, doesn't it make you feel a lot better?"
Yang Sican raised his hand and patted Zhou Luo on the back of the head, angrily saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yu Zhiming let Zhou Luo and his parents into the soundproof office and performed a physical examination on Yang Sican directly on the sofa.
He first checked Yang Sican's lower abdomen...
"The child is developing normally..."
Next, Yu Zhiming started to examine Yang Sican from the beginning.
Head, neck, breast...
Thoracic organs...
Abdominal organs...
Zhou Jian noticed that Yu Zhiming's expression was becoming increasingly serious, and asked nervously, "Doctor Yu, is there a problem? Is it serious?"
Yu Zhiming withdrew his hands and said thoughtfully, "No problem. On the contrary, my physical condition is unexpectedly good."
"Let's put it this way. Judging from the function and condition of Editor-in-Chief Yang's internal organs, he's at least ten years younger than his actual age."
"It's perfectly normal for someone in their early forties to successfully get pregnant!"
Yu Zhiming looked at Zhou Luo and asked, "You told me last Friday morning that Editor-in-Chief Yang has entered menopause and has been in menopause for nearly a year?"
Zhou Jian quickly replied, "That's true. I even had a checkup at the hospital and it was confirmed to be menopause. They also prescribed some medication to alleviate the physical discomfort and emotional problems of menopause."
Yu Zhiming frowned and said, "Logically speaking, given the condition of Editor-in-Chief Yang's internal organs, she shouldn't be experiencing menopause."
Zhou Luo pondered and said, "Teacher, my mother has been pregnant for more than three months. Could it be that this pregnancy has stimulated the secretion of various hormones in the body, leading to improved organ function?"
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "I don't rule out this possibility. The problem is, if the body is in menopause before, the possibility of pregnancy is very low."
He then asked, "Editor-in-Chief Yang, have you ever had the hospital welfare checkup done here?"
Yang Sican nodded and said, "I did it in September last year, which was relatively early."
At that time, Yu Zhiming didn't know Zhou Luo's family yet, and so much time had passed that he had no impression of them.
Yu Zhiming recalled for a moment and said slowly, "I've examined so many people, and the ones I still remember are mostly those with special conditions found during their physical examinations."
"If Editor-in-Chief Yang's internal organs were also in a relatively youthful state at that time, it would have been considered a special case, and I should have remembered it."
Yu Zhiming looked up at Zhou Luo and his parents and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the pregnancy led to the improvement of Editor-in-Chief Yang's internal organs. The other is that the internal organs first improved, which then led to the pregnancy."
"If it's the second case, the pregnancy timeline needs to be pushed back a month or two..."
"Think about it, during that period, what medications did you take continuously? What foods? Or any other unusual situations?"
Yang Sican thought about it and said, "Four or five months ago, what medicine did you take? What food did you eat?"
"Or is it ongoing?"
"During that time, there didn't seem to be anything special."
She suddenly thought of something, looked at Zhou Jian, and asked, "Hey, Lao Zhou, during that time..."
At this moment, Yang Sican's hand was suddenly held hard by Zhou Jian, and she stopped talking before she could continue.
Zhou Jian smiled and said to Yu Zhiming, "Doctor Yu, my wife is in this condition. Is there any problem with her health and the baby?"
Yu Zhiming also noticed Zhou Jian's little movements and understood why he did it.
If there really were medicine, food or other things that could significantly improve the function of internal organs, the economic benefits would be immeasurable.
As a medical professional, Zhou Jian certainly knows much more about this area than Yu Zhiming.
It is understandable that they concealed it.
Yu Zhiming said calmly, "Based on today's examination, Editor-in-Chief Yang and the child are both in good health."
"But she's an elderly mother after all, so you need to be more careful. If you're worried in the future, you can come see me for a checkup once a month..."
Yu Zhiming sent away Zhou Luo's parents who expressed their gratitude repeatedly, and then performed a physical examination on another patient.
The patient was introduced by Yu Zhiming's neighbor in the community, and his symptoms were unknown limb pain.
The diagnosis made by Zhou Luo and others was that the long-term exposure to welding light radiation had caused damage to the peripheral nerves of the limbs, which in turn produced an alternative type of phantom limb pain.
After examining the patient, Yu Zhiming found that the spinal cord in his cervical spine seemed to be deteriorating.
He asked the patient to rush to Ning'an Hospital and use their highest-resolution MRI machine in Binhai to perform an enhanced scan of the spinal cord, especially the cervical spine...
Next, Yu Zhiming immediately returned to his Monday routine outpatient consultations...
After ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Mo finished his work and entered the soundproof office.
When she came out again, she had a lot of snacks in her hands, including seven or eight kinds of chocolates, small cakes, sandwich cookies, etc.
Zhou Mo didn't eat all the food alone, but shared it with Zhao Fang, Jiang Ge and others who were still working in the big office.
Zhao Fang tore open a small cake package, took a bite, and looked very happy.
"The boss's snacks are delicious, even better than those sold in famous pastry shops outside."
Zhou Mo boasted, "These snacks of Dr. Yu's were made by Qing Ning and I after much comparison. We then had a pastry chef from a five-star hotel customize them. The ingredients and craftsmanship are both top-notch."
She added, "The calories are top-notch, too!"
After saying this, she put a piece of chocolate into her mouth.
Zhao Fang asked in surprise, "Momo, why are you eating so much? Are you giving up and not trying to lose weight?"
Zhou Mo nodded and sighed, "I won't lose weight anymore. I've been losing weight for so long and it still hasn't worked. I've given up. I don't care."
"Hey, what do you think? If I gain a few more pounds, will I look better?"
Zhao Fang looked at Zhou Mo and chuckled, "I can't say whether it looks good or not, but it definitely feels top-notch."
"Come, let me touch it..."
While they were laughing and joking, Zhou Mo saw Zhou Luo coming back, still with a gloomy look on his face, as if he was telling them to keep away from strangers.
This was the first time Zhou Mo saw him like this, so he walked over and handed him a piece of chocolate.
"Who made you angry? Did Dr. Yu scold you?"
Zhou Luo smiled bitterly and said, "I just had a quarrel with my dad. Before the quarrel even started, my dad was blinded by profit and seriously offended the teacher."
Zhou Mo uttered a sigh and said, "That time this morning? I didn't realize that Doctor Yu didn't look angry at all."
"Zhou Luo, talk to Dr. Yu. Maybe the situation isn't as serious as you think."
Zhou Luo hummed, then sighed, "If my dad insists on doing that, I won't be able to stay here with the teacher anymore..."
