Chapter 1617 Supporting the Disciple
It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon in the soundproof office of Zhizhen Building.
Yu Zhiming stood in front of the viewing light, concentrating on studying the three sets of brain images for twenty minutes.
Qi Xin, who had been standing quietly by, finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhiming, have you come up with a good idea?"
As Qi Xin had guessed, the man and woman who proposed to each other in the hospital encountered a life-threatening problem.
An egg-sized skull base meningioma.
Because the meningioma is too large, its location is quite dangerous, and it is intricately entangled with cerebral blood vessels and nerves, the surgery has only a 10% to 20% chance of success.
Yu Zhiming glanced at Qi Xin, who looked expectant, and said, "This is a brain tumor. Given the patient's current condition, the only effective treatment is cranial surgery."
"I don't have the skills to perform brain surgery. I'm waiting for a reply from Dr. Qin Jingmo in Beijing."
Qi Xin was disappointed, but she also knew that surgery was not Yu Zhiming's forte and she couldn't force him.
She then turned and asked, "Brother Zhiming, were you moved to come up with the wedding vows?"
Yu Zhiming said, "I haven't figured it out. To be honest, I'm not moved by it either."
Qi Xin's eyes widened and she asked, "No way? No way? You're not moved at all?"
"Three months ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and my fiancé, who was in the process of discussing marriage, walked away without hesitation."
"With the help of her friends, she regained her spirits, decided to face her illness, and actively received treatment. She also accepted the confession of love from a friend who had secretly liked her for many years."
"Now, on the eve of surgery, she accepted her new boyfriend's proposal. True love is revealed in times of adversity, that's all."
"Brother Zhiming, you're not moved by this?"
Yu Zhiming looked at the little girl with a questioning expression and decided to use his rich experience to let her know that she was purely self-moved and the proposal she saw today was not earth-shattering.
"Little girl, let me ask you, if there is someone who has liked you for many years, would you not know it?"
Qi Xin tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "You should know, right?"
Yu Zhiming said, "Women are more sensitive to emotions. If someone has liked her for many years, she wouldn't be unaware of it. Since she hasn't chosen the other person in the past few years, it means she doesn't love that person."
"She was diagnosed with a serious illness, her fiancé ran away, and she immediately accepted that man's confession. This is probably not love, but out of emotion or fear."
Qi Xin thought for a moment and said, "Brother Zhiming, what you said does make some sense."
She then put herself in his shoes and analyzed, "If I were that woman and really fell in love with this man, I would probably not accept his confession and proposal out of the desire not to burden him."
"You have to accept it after the treatment and get through the surgery."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "That's right. This is a skull base tumor surgery. The possibility of a vegetative state or failure is high."
"Even if the surgery is lucky enough to be successful, there is a high possibility of sequelae such as memory loss, personality changes, epilepsy, and damage or loss of some body functions."
Qi Xin nodded her head and suddenly said, "Brother Zhiming, you're saying that the woman might not love the man."
"But that guy has been secretly in love with her for years, and when she fell seriously ill, she stayed with him and stepped up to help him. Isn't that a great relationship?"
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes but didn't comment.
However, Qi Xin could tell from Yu Zhiming's little actions that he was not interested in this kind of person.
The word "dog licker" suddenly popped up in Qi Xin's mind, but she felt that it was an insult to that person, so she didn't say it out loud.
However, after Yu Zhiming's explanation, Qi Xin's originally moving love became bland and boring.
Yu Zhiming suddenly said: "Qi Xin, let me tell you, love is not only the expression at the critical moment, but also the long-term companionship."
"It's okay to perform for a moment."
"Given the woman's current situation, the man's confession and proposal are really nothing. If he can take care of her day in and day out for years, then I will admire him."
At this time, the soundproof door was pushed open, and a head popped in first, followed by a body squeezing in.
"Teacher, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at Duan Yi, who was wearing a flattering smile, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Teacher, please sit down first!"
Duan Yi did not answer, but pulled Yu Zhiming to sit on the sofa in the reception area and began to massage his shoulders in a very servile manner.
"Teacher, my technique and strength are okay, right?"
Yu Zhiming urged, "It's rare to see you trying to please me like this. Tell me what's going on. I'm afraid it's too big to handle."
Duan Yi chuckled and said, "Teacher, it's just a very small matter. My boyfriend's family came to Binhai."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said, "Since your boyfriend is here, why are you still on duty at the hospital? Let Zhou Luo, Sui Chi or someone else take your place. Go and accompany them quickly."
Duan Yi said with a bitter face: "Teacher, I have already accompanied him and had two meals together."
"There are quite a lot of people coming."
"Not only were there his parents, grandparents, and younger brother, but also his aunt's family and his uncle's family. They were all very welcoming, so welcoming that I was a little scared, so I hid away under the pretext of being on duty."
Yu Zhiming said with some regret: "An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. You are not ugly and you are capable. Why are you hiding?"
"Hey, what do you want me to do?"
Duan Yi said awkwardly, "Teacher, there's a large group of people coming over there. Can you please support me, your disciple?"
Yu Zhiming immediately understood that he always had to take care of his students.
"That's easy. I happen to be free tonight. Go and book a private room and I'll treat them to a feast."
These words immediately made Duan Yi dance with joy.
"Teacher, you are the best teacher in the world." As she said this, Duan Yi, who was standing behind the sofa, hugged Yu Zhiming from behind and kissed him on the cheek.
Looking at Duan Yi running away, Yu Zhiming wiped his cheeks with a tissue in disgust.
As a doctor, it is really outrageous that he does not pay attention to hygiene and prevent possible infection...
A few minutes later, Yu Zhiming received a call from Qin Jingmo.
"Doctor Yu, I've studied the brain tumor information you sent me. The surgery is extremely difficult. Even if I were to perform the surgery, the chances of success would only increase by half a percent."
Yu Zhiming asked: "Where is the main difficulty?"
Qin Jingmo replied on the phone, "The tumor is too large, and it's at the base of the skull. Not only are the edges irregular, but it's also entangled with arteries and nerves. The biggest difficulty lies in the last point."
While listening to Dr. Qin's story, Yu Zhiming examined the diagram of the jellyfish-shaped brain tumor in his mind.
He asked, "Isn't it possible to inject radioactive particles through a puncture to shrink and collapse the tumor?"
Qin Jingmo replied, "It's not suitable for this patient's condition. Although the tumor will shrink and collapse under pressure, its shape will become more irregular, and the entanglement with blood vessels and nerves will become more complicated, which will increase the difficulty of surgery!"
So...
Yu Zhiming continued, "Since shrinking the tumor won't work, then injecting fluid to expand the tumor could make its surface more regular and reduce the difficulty of the surgery."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming heard Qin Jingmo's voice, trying hard to suppress his laughter, "Doctor Yu, you actually thought of injecting liquid to make the tumor expand?"
"I mean, you're really imaginative, or..."
Qin Jingmo's voice on the phone stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, followed by a long silence.
Three or four minutes later, Qin Jingmo's voice came from Yu Zhiming's phone again.
"Doctor Yu, I was taking it for granted. Considering the patient's tumor condition, your idea of expanding it does seem feasible..."
