Chapter 1569: No Self-Assumption
It was nearly eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning when Yu Zhiming met the young patient who was introduced by Fu Xiaobo.
The patient, who was only twelve years old, looked thin and small with a dark complexion sitting in a wheelchair.
Obviously, he gets a lot of sun.
After Yu Zhiming looked at the little patient, he looked at the little patient's mother a few more times.
Although she is in her thirties and fine wrinkles can be seen at the corners of her eyes and mouth, she is a very charming woman.
Although her facial features are not stunning, they are calm and pleasing, like the sound of a clear spring, which makes people want to listen and appreciate.
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but mutter to himself...
The reason why Fu Xiaobo agreed to act as a matchmaker was not because of the little patient, but because of the little patient's mother.
After taking a quick look, Yu Zhiming didn't say much and pointed to the examination bed beside him.
What surprised him was that the little patient did not seek help from his mother. Instead, he supported himself on the examination bed with his hands and used the strength of his arms and waist to move himself onto the bed nimbly.
From this, we can see that this little patient does a lot of exercise, and Fu Xiaobo is not exaggerating.
Yu Zhiming first placed his hand on the little patient's calf.
I haven't walked for five or six years, and my leg muscles have inevitably atrophied.
However, the degree of atrophy was much milder than Yu Zhiming had expected, indicating that the young patient had received good care, with leg massage and related passive exercises being given without fail.
"I have feeling in my legs, but no strength?"
The young patient replied in his somewhat lisp-laden Hong Kong dialect, "I can feel it, but it's a little numb compared to my upper body, like scratching an itch through a shoe, not very clear."
He punched his thigh with his fist and said, "My legs are like noodles. I can't use any strength at all."
Sensational, but powerless...
Yu Zhiming initially judged that there were two possibilities. One was that the nerves controlling the legs were damaged, causing problems in the transmission of nerve information.
It is like the six bidirectional pipelines that originally transmitted information back and forth smoothly. Because of the accident, not only did some of the pipelines become narrower, but some pipelines were directly blocked.
Another possibility is that there is a problem with the conversion hub in the spinal cord that processes information from the lower limbs.
Yu Zhiming hopes it is the first possibility.
If there is a problem with the spinal cord, because the spinal cord belongs to the central nervous system, the damage is generally irreversible and the possibility of recovery is very slim.
Yu Zhiming massaged the little patient's legs, checking the nerves in his legs while moving up little by little...
There are multiple nerves that control movement of the legs, such as the sciatic nerve, femoral nerve, etc.
They differentiate like branches, controlling the large and small muscles of the legs. As they go up, the nerves converge and merge, finally converging into the vertebral foramen of the lumbar vertebrae, connecting with the spinal cord...
Yu Zhiming spent nearly ten minutes checking the patient's leg nerves and lumbar spinal cord and found no major problems.
In addition to discovering several tiny broken nerves, there were also several small bone fragments that were wrapped in human tissue and not absorbed.
These minor problems would not cause the young patient's legs to become weak, so Yu Zhiming simply ignored them.
After a short rest, he began the second inspection.
This time, Yu Zhiming focused on examining the little patient's lumbar spine and intervertebral nerves.
This is where problems are most likely to occur...
Yu Zhiming was immersed in the inspection. After an unknown number of minutes, he finally made a suspicious discovery.
The two left and right nerves coming out of the second lumbar vertebra felt a bit stiff to Yu Zhiming, not as soft and elastic as other nerves.
Is it because of these two nerves?
Yu Zhiming drew the two intervertebral nerves and asked Sui Chi to take the little patient to the Department of Neurology for a confirmatory examination.
Feeling tired, he returned to the soundproof office and met the Poison King Liu Lao.
"Zhiming, bad news. The two lupus patients we treated last Monday both failed treatment."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and continued, "It's not all bad news. This means the body has reached 60% of its limit, so the treatment has no effect and cannot stimulate the body to produce immune mutations."
"Future treatments will be limited to about 80% of the patient's tolerance limit."
Liu Lao sighed lightly, "Eighty percent, or ten percent, it just means you can understand it clearly."
"But for us, in order to achieve a successful treatment, we have to push the patient to their limit."
Yu Zhiming ate a piece of chocolate and drank a glass of water before he spoke: "Experience is gained through trial and error. After a few more experiments and summaries, you'll get a feel for it."
Old Liu sighed, "This is the only way."
He stood up and said, "I'm not in a good mood, so I won't have lunch with you. See you at the treatment tonight..."
After seeing off Mr. Liu, Yu Zhiming washed up quickly and then had lunch with Zhou Mo.
Yu Zhiming ate and drank for a while, and when his pace slowed down, Zhou Mo's voice rang in his ears.
"Doctor Yu, the doctor who chose the small house last night, is from Tiantan Hospital. He's 47 years old and the chief physician of orthopedics."
"He went to the United States many times for further studies and exchanges, and just divorced his wife last month."
Zhou Mo took a sip of his soup and continued, "The house, car, and child all belong to my wife. I've left the house with nothing."
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "This should explain why he chose the small house. He was kicked out of the house and had no money left."
"Hey, did he make a mistake and cheat on his wife?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "Gudongzhu said that the reason for the divorce was a breakdown in their relationship and they parted ways peacefully. There were no bad rumors coming from Tiantan Hospital."
After a pause, she continued, "This only explains why he chose the small house, not why he chose the small house in Building 15. We need to investigate further."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Don't be so sensitive. Don't be so paranoid and imagine that everyone is against me."
Zhou Mo insisted, "It's better to be suspicious and have a false alarm than to miss it due to negligence."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's up to you. But be careful not to offend others."
Zhou Mo nodded in response.
After a pause, she continued, "Tonight, Ding Ye, Zhou Luo, and the others are going to choose a room."
"They are all targeting small houses of over 200 to 100 square meters, so the chances of them choosing the house they like are very high."
Zhou Mo suggested again: "Doctor Yu, perhaps, we can let one of them become that guy's neighbor?"
Yu Zhiming quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't act on your own and ask them to do this, either explicitly or implicitly."
"A house is a lifelong commitment. We can't let them choose a house they don't like just because of unfounded suspicions."
"Zhou Mo, did you hear that?"
Seeing Yu Zhiming suddenly become serious, Zhou Mo could only nod and say, "I understand. I won't act on my own."
She sighed again, "I must say, having a teacher like you is truly a blessing they have accumulated over eight lifetimes..."
