Chapter 434 Double Compensation
The next morning, Yu Zhiming got up at six o'clock as usual.
After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, he was somewhat surprised to find Gu Qingning lying on the sofa bed, curled up with his head covered, still sleeping soundly.
Under Yu Zhiming's persistent encouragement, Fourth Sister and Qing Ning have developed a habit.
From Monday to Saturday, after Yu Zhiming gets up, they will also get up and exercise together.
Only on Sundays can they sleep in.
I didn’t stay up late last night, and now I’m not getting up yet. Something is wrong, there must be a problem!
Yu Zhiming gently lifted the thin blanket on Qingning's head and found that her forehead was sweating and her cheeks were flushed.
This is a fever!
Yu Zhiming quickly measured Qingning's forehead with the back of his hand.
I had some hot flashes, and according to experience, it was around 39 degrees Celsius.
"What's wrong with Qingning?" Yu Xiangwan came over.
"My fever is 39 degrees. Sister, please pour me a glass of warm water."
Yu Zhiming gave some instructions and quickly gave Qingning another physical examination.
There is no inflammation in the body, just a simple fever.
Yu Zhiming held Qingning up and sat her up, shaking her awake, then took the cup of water handed to her by his fourth sister and fed her water.
Gu Qingning drank a glass of water in small sips, and his mind became much clearer.
She leaned softly against Yu Zhiming, her little mouth pouting, revealing a pitiful expression.
"Headache, uncomfortable!"
Yu Zhiming hugged her tightly and comforted her, "Eat something, take some medicine, and have a good sleep, and you'll be fine."
Yu Xiangwan mixed another cup of honey water and brought it over.
"I'm going to cook. Make noodles with vegetables and shrimp?"
Yu Zhiming nodded.
Gu Qingning asked, "Sister, please add some pickled mustard greens. I have no appetite and want something stronger."
Yu Xiangwan nodded and went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Yu Zhiming picked up some honey water and fed it to Qing Ning. He couldn't help but joked, "You were freezing for half the night before yesterday, and you only got a fever today. Isn't your system lag too much?"
Gu Qingning raised her little fist and punched Yu Zhiming's chest twice softly.
She said aggrievedly: "It wasn't the night before last."
"I was running around yesterday, picking up my car for repairs, and going to the market to buy vegetables and seafood, and I accidentally caught a cold."
Yu Zhiming put down his half-empty cup and chuckled, "The cold I suffered the night before yesterday must have played a big role."
Gu Qingning snorted twice, struggled to get up and said, "I want to go to the bathroom..."
The bathroom had no heating, so Yu Zhiming wrapped this girl in a thick coat before letting her go in to wash up...
It was just half a bowl of vegetable and shrimp noodles, served with pickled mustard greens and cucumbers. Only after Yu Zhiming's coaxing and persuasion did Gu Qingning frown and try hard to finish it.
Afterwards, Yu Zhiming took out a fever-reducing pill and a painkiller from the family medicine box and watched Gu Qingning swallow them with a bitter look on his face...
Before going out to work, Yu Zhiming gave Qing Ning, who was lying on the sofa bed, some instructions.
"Have a good sleep, drink some water and eat some fruit when you wake up."
"At noon, even if I don't feel hungry, I force myself to cook some dumplings or noodles."
"Be sure to take medicine after meals!"
"If you feel seriously unwell during this period, call me."
"I have surgery tonight and won't be back until late..."
Yu Zhiming rambled on for a long time before he went to work with his briefcase feeling uneasy.
As soon as the door was closed, Gu Qingning sat up with a quilt wrapped around her, looking at Yu Xiangwan beside her with sparkling eyes.
"Sister, when you were sick before, did Zhiming also take care of you with such care and patience?"
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "How is that possible? At most, it's just pouring a glass of water and throwing a bag of medicine."
"It's impossible to persuade people to take medicine."
"In his words, it's okay to eat or not. For a minor illness like this, not taking medicine isn't a big deal. Just enduring a few days of discomfort can actually help improve your body's resistance."
Gu Qingning looked happy and said, "Sister, don't be jealous. Next time you feel unwell, I will take care of you considerately."
Yu Xiangwan rolled her eyes at this guy.
"You'd better stop talking and lie down to sleep. After you fall asleep, I'll go to the cafeteria..."
After Yu Zhiming arrived at the central building of the hospital, he immediately immersed himself in his busy work.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming, who was doing organ dissection in the laboratory, was called out by Zhou Mo, who said that the director was looking for him.
In the director's office, in addition to Teacher Qi Yue, Yu Zhiming saw a long-faced man wearing a white coat and short gray hair.
Yu Zhiming noticed that the work nameplate hanging on his left chest read Tang Jianxiong, Department of Oncology.
There was also a bald man in the director's office who was sitting in a wheelchair, almost skin and bones, and breathing oxygen.
Next to the wheelchair, there was a haggard middle-aged woman and a man who looked to be in his late thirties.
Yu Zhiming knew without Teacher Qi's introduction that the person in the wheelchair was the terminal cancer patient mentioned last night.
He recalled the medical information of the person he had seen today.
Fifty-eight years old. Four years ago, he was diagnosed with left kidney cancer and underwent radical left nephrectomy.
The cancer recurred six months ago and metastasized to the liver and lungs.
However, now that he saw the man's physical condition with his own eyes, Yu Zhiming shook his head secretly.
This man is so thin that he is unrecognizable. His cheekbones are very prominent and his eye sockets are deep.
The patient was so thin that Yu Zhiming knew he couldn't hold on for much longer.
Perhaps, a minor inflammation or a cold can kill the person.
Because his body was already in a state of exhaustion and could not provide the extra energy for him to continue fighting.
Many terminal cancer patients die because their body energy is exhausted and their organs stop functioning.
Yu Zhiming looked at Teacher Qi Yue and Doctor Tang and found that they both had heavy expressions.
Obviously, those who were more experienced could see at a glance that the patient's condition was very serious.
In the silence, the patient in the wheelchair was the first to speak breathlessly: "Doctor Yu, thank you for your hard work."
Yu Zhiming quickly said modestly: "I dare not call myself a miracle doctor, I am just a young doctor with some special skills."
“Compared to many of my medical predecessors, I’m still far behind.”
The wheelchair patient took a few deep breaths of oxygen and said excitedly, "Doctor Yu, we found out too late."
"If my wife and son had been more attentive and had known a few months earlier that you, Dr. Yu, had the ability to treat cancer, I might be able to go out for a walk by myself now."
The wheelchair patient was a little out of breath after speaking so many words in one breath.
He coughed and took a deep breath of oxygen.
After hearing what this person said, Yu Zhiming didn't know how to explain it in detail. He said that he didn't have the ability to treat cancer, he was just assisting the oncologists in the treatment.
Yu Zhiming has seen many patients like wheelchair patients.
They desperately want to live.
They never miss any opportunity to grasp at straws, believing that a miracle will eventually happen to them.
Yu Zhiming and the other wheelchair patients had regained some composure. Seeing that he was about to speak, he spoke first, "Let's get down to business first. Let's go to the examination room and get a physical check-up..."
In the examination room, the wheelchair patient's son gently picked him up and placed him on the examination bed.
Yu Zhiming put on surgical gloves and examined him from head to toe.
"Doctor, how am I doing?"
Yu Zhiming comforted the patient who was eager to ask, "Not bad. Apart from the existing lesion, no other cancerous sites have been found."
The patient said with a smile: "So, I can still be saved, right?"
"Doctor Yu, thank you for your concern."
"Just get the treatment you need. Don't worry about the cost. I have a house under my name worth five or six million, and it's already on the market."
"I'm not short of money!"
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Next, I need to go back to the director's office to discuss your next treatment plan with my teacher and Dr. Tang."
After saying this, he winked at the patient's son and left the examination room first...
Yu Zhiming returned to the director's office, met the gazes of Teacher Qi Yue and Dr. Tang, and shook his head.
"My lungs are still slightly better, but my liver's residual function is weak, and I could collapse completely at any time."
"The functions of other organs also remain at extremely low levels."
"As far as the patient's body is concerned, they simply cannot withstand some of the intense treatments."
Yu Zhiming said bluntly, "Teacher, in his condition, there's no hope of saving him. At most, we can use some medicine to give him a few days of last breath, so he can have a few good meals."
Qi Yue hummed lightly.
At this time, the patient's son knocked on the door and came in.
Yu Zhiming did not hold back or be tactful and told him what he had just said again.
The patient's son said bitterly, "The attending doctor said the same thing when we were treated at the No. 1 Municipal Hospital."
"After I was discharged from the hospital and returned home, my relatives and friends came to visit me one after another, and some of them mentioned you, Dr. Yu."
"My dad can't stay here any longer, he'll definitely come over and make a fuss."
He looked at Yu Zhiming and asked, "Doctor Yu, is there really no way out? If there's any hope, we'll sell everything we have to treat him."
Yu Zhiming spoke frankly, "Spending tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, a day, just to live a month or two longer?"
"Are you willing to bear this price?"
The patient's son said with a sad face: "Although my father still has a house in his name, we have already owed millions of dollars in debt for his medical treatment in recent years."
"Regarding my father's condition, Director Qi, Specialist Tang, and Doctor Yu, do you have any other suggestions?"
Qi Yue said slowly: "It's similar to comfort treatment, which will make your father's physical condition look much better."
“But it only lasts a few days.”
"In a few days, you'll understand."
After a moment of silence, the patient's son gritted his teeth and said, "Director Qi, I choose this comfort treatment..."
Around seven in the evening, You Weixian, Qi Yue, Yu Zhiming, Zhou Mo and others had dinner together and went to the JB District Public Security Bureau in two separate cars.
Qi Yue, Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo rode in Yu Zhiming's Mercedes-Benz, with Zhou Mo driving.
At around 7:30, Yu Zhiming, who was still on the way, received a call from Wang Mu from the No. 1 Municipal Hospital.
"Doctor Yu, I have a nine-week pregnant woman with severe heart pain who urgently needs cardiovascular intervention."
"Doctor Yu, pregnant women can't have X-rays. Could you please come over and take the trouble?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "President Wang, I have to assist Dr. You Weixian with a skull base tumor surgery later, so I can't make it."
"You guys figure out another way."
A moment later, Wang Mu's voice caught up, "Skull base tumor surgery isn't an urgent one, right?"
"How about Dr. You please postpone it or wait for another day?"
"The pregnant woman's condition is very urgent. Her father said he is willing to double the compensation for the loss caused by the delayed surgery."
Qi Yue took the phone and said, "For tonight's surgery, we prepared for ten days and built a temporary operating room, with a total investment of nearly one million."
"Do you want double compensation?"
At the end of the month or the beginning of the month, please support me with guaranteed monthly tickets!!!
