Chapter 1572 No More Connection
Time passed day and night and it was Thursday, the day for the weekly physical examination.
Yu Zhiming completed the physical examination of the hospital's donation unit in the morning and returned to the office for lunch. He heard three pieces of news in succession.
"Doctor Yu, the results are out. My bone marrow transplant is not compatible with that guy's. Hehe..."
The probability of successful bone marrow transplant matching among immediate family members is generally between 25% and 100%.
This depends mainly on the relationship between the matcher and the patient.
If the matching is done with the patient's immediate parents and children, the probability of a match is around 50%.
If the matcher and the patient are identical twins, the probability of matching is 100%.
If the matching is done with the patient's other siblings, the probability is only about 25%.
If the match is with a stranger, the probability is drastically reduced to tens of thousands or even one in a million.
Seeing Zhou Mo's unconcealable relief, Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's God who forbade you from helping that guy. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"As for that guy, money talks. If he offers a reward of millions or tens of millions of dollars, even with a one in a million chance, he'll be able to find a matching donor worldwide."
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "I've done my best for that guy. I don't care whether he lives or dies."
After a pause, Zhou Mo turned and said, "The little girl who had an allergic reaction last night is out of danger after receiving treatment last night."
"I asked a nurse I'm familiar with to get some information, and I learned that last night..."
Zhou Mo slowly recounted, "The mother and daughter were driving home from their best friend's place. On the way, the little girl opened a bag of snacks her best friend had given her, which she said she had brought from the United States."
"After a while, the little girl had an allergic reaction and couldn't breathe. Her mother was terrified and quickly drove to the nearest mountain, which was Huashan."
"As luck would have it, we got stuck in a traffic jam."
"The little girl's mother had no choice but to abandon the car and run to the hospital with her daughter. She ran for a while with her daughter in her arms, but she ran out of energy and asked for help."
"And then this guy showed up."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Fortunately, it's not the worst case scenario. That guy still has some bottom line."
He then said, "Many Chinese people believe that food safety abroad is safe. In fact, the United States ranks first in the types and amounts of food additives used. Moreover, they don't even need to list the ingredients on food. This leads to Americans being notoriously prone to allergies."
As Yu Zhiming spoke, he took a neurological examination report handed to him by Zhou Mo.
When I opened it, I found it belonged to a little boy from Hong Kong Island.
Yu Zhiming looked at several neurological examination items in detail and found that the neuroelectrophysiological examination results showed abnormal hysteresis and loss of current, which was about one-fifth less than the normal current value.
This number is abnormal and indicates nerve damage.
Of course, this is obvious.
If there had been no neurological damage, the little boy would not have been confined to a wheelchair and unable to walk using his own legs.
The question is how to treat it next?
Warming? Electric current stimulation?
The little boy has been receiving similar treatment for the past six years, but his current condition shows that it is ineffective.
Using Ji's amino acids to promote recovery?
Yu Zhiming pondered and shook his head. Ji's amino acids only promoted and improved the recovery speed, but could not create something out of nothing.
Six years of recovery have had no effect. It is very likely that the nerve damage in that part has no chance of recovery.
Maybe we can try nerve transplantation...
After three o'clock in the afternoon, the mother of the little boy from Hong Kong Island followed Zhou Mo to the director's office on the seventh floor of Zhizhen Building and met Director Qi Yue.
"Hello, Ms. Tao! I'm Dr. Yu Zhiming's teacher, neurologist Qi Yue."
After introducing himself, Qi Yue suddenly had a strange feeling.
Before, when he went out to participate in various activities, others introduced him as Qi Yue, a diagnostic expert from Huashan Hospital.
I don’t know when it started, but the introduction to him added a sentence “Dr. Yu Zhiming’s teacher” after the adjective “diagnostic expert of Huashan Hospital”.
I don’t know when it started, but “Dr. Yu Zhiming’s teacher” became the first adjective when people introduced him, ranking before Huashan Hospital.
Nowadays, when he introduces himself, he habitually adds "Dr. Yu Zhiming's teacher."
That guy's status is rising rapidly.
Qi Yue sighed inwardly, looked at the nervous woman in front of him, and said gently: "We held a consultation on your child's treatment."
"We've looked at your child's past treatment records, and we can say that most treatment methods have been used."
"Except one..."
Qi Yue paused for a moment before slowly saying, "The surgery, to be exact, is a nerve transplant."
Ms. Tao from Hong Kong Island asked doubtfully, "Nerve transplant surgery? My son's leg nerves will be replaced with someone else's?"
Qi Yue explained: "That's not the case. It's an autologous transplant, using your own nerves to replace the problematic nerves."
He took out the simple diagram drawn by Yu Zhiming and showed it to Ms. Tao, then said, "Doctor Yu found that there is a problem with this part of the two nerves that come out of your son's lumbar spine."
"During the surgery, Dr. Yu will also participate to confirm the extent of the nerve problem."
"If the nerve to be cut is relatively short, since nerves have a certain degree of elasticity, there is no need to transplant nerves from elsewhere to fill the gap. The two ends can be sutured directly."
"If the nerve in question is long, we need to harvest a nerve from somewhere else in the body to fill the gap."
Ms. Tao nodded and asked, "After this nerve transplant surgery, will my son be able to walk again?"
Qi Yue said solemnly, "That's the problem. We can't guarantee that your son's legs will regain strength after this surgery."
"I can only say, it's possible!"
Ms. Tao pressed on: “How likely is that?”
Qi Yue replied very cautiously: "Given that this was Doctor Yu's discovery and suggestion, the probability is at least 60%."
"only……"
Qi Yue then reminded him, "If the operation doesn't go well, your son will not only lose his legs but may also lose his remaining sensation."
"The possibility of recovery in the future is very slim."
Ms. Tao was silent for a moment, then said, "In other words, this neurosurgery treatment is all-in."
"It's either success or total loss, along with the hope of recovering my legs."
Qi Yue nodded gently and said, "You can understand it that way."
Ms. Tao bit her lip with a look of struggle and said, "My son is already twelve years old. He is not only strong but also very independent."
"He still needs to make his own decision on this matter..."
After five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Mo saw the mixed-race man again.
"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Lin would very much like to see you. If his treatment isn't effective and he can't find a matching donor, it will take two or three months at most."
The mixed-race young man said, "Mr. Lin said that he no longer has any children in the United States, and he needs to discuss some of his affairs with you."
Zhou Mo said expressionlessly, "There's a saying in our country: You raised me when I was young, and I'll take care of you when you're old. He didn't do the first part, so don't even think about taking care of you in your old age."
"As for his funeral, you came all the way here for him. I'm sure you'll be able to take care of it for him when the day comes."
Zhou Mo added, "I have nothing to do with him anymore. Don't come to me with anything related to him in the future..."
