Chapter 263 I Can Do It
Sunday came in a flash.
After breakfast, Yu Xiangwan went out to check on the decoration of the small canteen in the apartment.
Gu Qingning left the house without any hesitation, saying that he was going to look for a second-hand car with a high cost-effectiveness and suitable for modification.
As for Fu Xiaoxue, she also returned to university.
On this rare day when he could have a good rest, Yu Zhiming enjoyed the quietness of being alone and felt very comfortable.
He was in his bedroom reading a professional medical book as thick as a brick, and before he knew it, it was lunchtime.
He went to the kitchen and cooked a plate of dumplings to fill his stomach, then Yu Zhiming picked up the erhu and played three songs.
Perhaps because of his rich experience and improved state of mind, Yu Zhiming, who picked up the erhu again, felt that his erhu skills had improved rapidly after more than a month of practice and had reached the level of a master.
In Yu Xiangwan's words, Yu Zhiming wears sunglasses, holds a erhu, and plays a few songs in a busy square or subway entrance, which earns him enough money for a day's food.
My father's early hope for Yu Zhiming, his wish to support himself by playing the erhu, has finally come true...
Yu Zhiming put away his erhu, went back to the living room to stretch his body for a while, took out the snacks such as walnuts, peanuts, sweet potato strips, etc. that his third sister brought from his hometown, turned on the TV, randomly found a live sports program, and started his leisure time.
But after more than twenty minutes, Yu Zhiming's enjoyment was interrupted by a phone call.
A call from Teacher Qi Yue.
"Zhiming, if it's not carcinoma in situ, you can detect that kind of secondary cancer that spreads and metastasizes in the early stages, right?"
Yu Zhiming did not answer but asked, "Teacher, the presence of cancer metastasis indicates that the cancer has entered the late stage."
"Isn't there a big difference between discovering secondary cancer earlier or later?"
Most malignant tumors, when they develop to the late stage, will generally spread to other parts of the body or organs through blood metastasis, lymph metastasis, implantation metastasis, etc.
To put it simply, when the first malignant tumor in the body grows to the mature stage, it begins to spread cancer cell seeds throughout the body through the blood circulation system, lymphatic system, etc. like a dandelion.
When these cancer cell seeds fall into the right place, they will take root, sprout, and grow into new tumors.
Sometimes, these new tumors develop one after another in different parts of the body or organs.
But if the conditions are right, an explosion mode will occur, like mushrooms in the woods after rain, popping up all at once, making it impossible to defend against them.
When cancer metastasizes, it means that the patient's entire body is full of cancer cells.
In this case, surgical removal of the cancerous area is no longer of much significance, and systemic treatment is the main treatment, including targeted, immune, chemotherapy, or local radiotherapy.
The main purpose is to prolong the survival of patients with metastatic cancer as much as possible and improve their quality of life.
Qi Yue's voice came from the phone.
"Why is there no difference?"
"Early detection of secondary cancerous sites allows targeted radiotherapy or surgery to kill or inhibit the growth of new tumors, allowing patients to live longer and better lives."
"For patients with advanced cancer, they will spare no effort to fight for even a few more months of life."
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said, "Teacher, this patient who is looking for you must come from a wealthy family, right?"
When cancer reaches the terminal stage, patients basically use money to buy time in order to live longer and more comfortably.
The daily treatment cost starts at around 10,000 yuan, which is unaffordable for ordinary families.
Just like Zhang Bai, in order to make his mother live more comfortably, he not only spent all the family savings, but also lost his house.
Qi Yue hummed softly on the phone: "Come to the hospital at four o'clock in the afternoon and give the patient a check-up..."
After finishing the call with Teacher Qi Yue, Yu Zhiming looked at the time and it was almost 1:30 in the afternoon.
He thought for a moment and went to the balcony to feel the weather outside. It was cloudy and breezy, so it was quite cool.
Yu Zhiming changed into his going-out clothes, went downstairs, and left the residential complex. Without even scanning a shared bicycle, he walked alone towards Huashan Hospital.
Walking through small streets and narrow alleys, feeling the life of ordinary citizens in Binhai, Yu Zhiming slowly arrived at Huashan Hospital in forty to fifty minutes.
He went to the gynecology department first, but unfortunately, the familiar Director Liu Yun and Doctor Ding Ye were both off today.
I met an acquaintance of mine, an associate chief physician, and was asked to adjust the fetal position of a fetus whose umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck for three weeks.
Yu Zhiming left the gynecology building and received a call from Zhou Mo.
"Is there something?" Yu Zhiming said in his usual simple and direct style.
"Doctor Yu, you gave up your rest time to work overtime to help me and my friend. We have to show our appreciation."
Last Thursday night, Yu Zhiming worked overtime for more than an hour to do physical examinations for more than ten company leaders (this relationship is really complicated) who were introduced by Zhou Mo and are the husband of the daughter of Teacher Qi Yue’s second wife.
Yu Zhiming came to the shady place in front of the building, holding his mobile phone, and continued to listen to Zhou Mo's voice.
"Doctor Yu, please set a time. Tonight, or any day next week is fine. I'll treat you to a nice dinner."
Yu Zhiming brought the phone closer to his mouth and said, "Zhou Mo, no need to treat me."
"With you and the teacher's relationship, it's not free help. They paid according to the hospital's standards."
"Forget about this treat."
Zhou Mo insisted, "How can I avoid it?"
"Everyone knows that it's very difficult to get an appointment like yours. It's really hard to ask you to get a checkup."
"Doctor Yu, you're so busy every day, and you even worked overtime to help me that night. I have to express my gratitude to you."
While Yu Zhiming was listening to Zhou Mo's words, he also heard another woman's voice on the phone.
The voice was much quieter, and it should have been whispered in Zhou Mo's ear.
However, Yu Zhiming still heard it.
The woman said, "Momo, please make sure it's tonight. I've already made a promise to someone else, so I can't break my promise."
Yu Zhiming was about to speak when Zhou Mo's voice came from the phone again.
"Tingting, what's the matter with agreeing to someone else's appointment?"
"Doctor Yu, I'll call you back later."
Yu Zhiming looked at the phone screen that showed the end of the call, but didn't care. He put away the phone and went back to the general surgery department.
To his disappointment, Dr. Cui Zhitan and Dr. Wang Jiangyue were not there either.
This also made Yu Zhiming realize that although doctors are busy at work, their rest time is not fixed and they don’t even have any rest days.
But when you reach the level of chief physician, you have a lot of autonomy and can arrange your own work and rest schedule and take weekends off normally like many people.
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang again.
It was Zhou Mo calling again. Nearly twenty minutes had passed since the last call.
"Zhou Mo, what happened?"
Zhou Mo sighed lightly and said, "Doctor Yu, last time you helped examine those dozen company leaders, one of them wanted to befriend another group and wanted you to examine them."
"Tonight's dinner, as well as the location, was actually decided by that leader."
"Doctor Yu, I'm really sorry. I just found out about this."
Zhou Mo muttered again: "What's going on? I've helped you again and again, and it's never going to end."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. They also recognize my medical skills."
"However, I really don't have time for dinner and social events recently, and I have to work overtime at night."
"Zhou Mo, please decline for me!"
Zhou Mo explained, "Doctor Yu, I've already turned it down. Using your skills as a favor doesn't show any respect for others."
"Doctor Yu, I don't know people well."
After a pause, Zhou Mo continued on the phone: "Doctor Yu, let's not talk about anything else. You agreed to work overtime on Thursday night because of my face."
"I have to express my opinion anyway."
"How about this, next week's lunch, I bring your portion, Dr. Yu?"
"You must be tired of the cafeteria lunch, right?"
Yu Zhiming said happily: "Zhou Mo, thank you. Is this a bit too much trouble?"
"It's not a big deal at all. I just need Auntie to cook more rice and dishes..."
Not long after finishing his call with Zhou Mo, Yu Zhiming received another call from Rao Yi.
As soon as the call was connected, it was Zhu Meisheng's voice that rang out on the phone.
"Doctor Yu, I've thought it over. I've discussed it with my husband and family and have decided to have the precise tumor removal surgery."
"I want to give birth to the baby myself."
Yu Zhiming reminded her, "Ms. Zhu, I need to tell you that even if you undergo precise tumor removal, you may not be able to preserve your fertility."
"It depends on the size of the tumor and the extent of its infiltration. So, we won't know the exact outcome until surgery."
Zhu Meisheng replied on the phone: "Doctor Yu, I understand what you said."
"To be honest, from Friday night until now, we've mobilized our connections and consulted with several gynecologists."
"They all said that in my case, to be on the safe side, it would be best to have a total hysterectomy."
"I asked them again, 'Doctor Yu, is it possible to perform the tumor removal surgery you mentioned?'
"They all said they couldn't remove all the cancerous tissue from their uterus while leaving a uterus large enough to carry a baby."
"They also said that since you, Dr. Yu, dared to propose this surgical plan, the possibility of it being accomplished is quite high."
"As renowned gynecologists, they all expressed their strong recognition of your abilities."
"This also gives me full confidence in you, Doctor Yu."
"Doctor Yu, I'm counting on you..."
Yu Zhiming ended the call with Zhu Meisheng and called Director Liu Yun of the Gynecology Department.
"Director Liu, tomorrow night, I'd like you to perform an endometrial cancer resection surgery..."
Next, Yu Zhiming carefully recounted Zhu Meisheng's situation and her requests.
"Precise removal of cancerous tissue? Preserving fertility?"
Liu Yun gritted her teeth and said on the phone, "Isn't this too difficult? Doctor Yu, I can't do this!"
Yu Zhiming said confidently: "Director Liu, I can do it, but the specific operation process still depends on you to perform..."
