After an unknown amount of time, Yu Zhiming opened his eyes and found that it was pitch black.
Out of habit, he reached for the phone on the bedside table, turned on the screen, and squinted to check the time.
Five fifty-eight.
It's time to get up for a new day.
Yu Zhiming didn't want to get up.
When he was working in the county hospital, he preferred to stay in the hospital rather than go home. Besides the need to improve himself in more work, he also didn't want to go home and be urged by his sister to go on blind dates and get married.
As for why he didn't want to get up now, it was because he found that with Qingning's company, his life outside of work became warm and comfortable, making him nostalgic for the time when he was not working.
Perhaps, this is what many people call the land of pleasure, the hero's tomb, and the one where the king never went to court again?
Yu Zhiming hesitated for two minutes, then got up, put on his clothes in the dark, and left the bedroom.
The lights in the living room were already on.
Qing Ning and Yu Xiangwan were yawning while making their beds.
As for the two little ones, Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan, they ran into the bedroom with pillows and quilts in their arms, still sleepy.
"This time, I'm going to sleep outside..."
The second half of Zeng Yan's sentence was blocked by the bedroom door closing again.
Yu Zhiming, influenced by Qing Ning and Fourth Sister, yawned twice in succession and walked towards the bathroom...
Forty or fifty minutes later, Yu Zhiming, Yu Xiangwan and Qing Ning sat around the dining table and started to eat breakfast.
Each person had a bowl of mutton and sea cucumber soup, the staple food was hot steamed buns, the dishes were twice-cooked pork with winter bamboo shoots, shrimp and rapeseed, and a plate of braised beef, plus boiled eggs and salted duck eggs.
Qing Ning handed the peeled boiled egg to Yu Zhiming and said, "Last night, my brother told me that he contacted a pretty good housekeeper."
"This aunt's employer is going to immigrate with his family, so he wants to find a new host family so that he can come and work after the New Year."
"Zhiming, do you want her to come over and try the food first?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and asked, "Your brother is two now, so he also needs a housekeeper, right?"
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "My brother said that he is not in a hurry for now, so he will focus on us first."
Yu Xiangwan suggested, "How about scheduling the food tasting on Friday night? Let Auntie prepare a good meal."
Qing Ning nodded and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll talk to that aunt first."
She looked at Yu Zhiming again and said, "My brother also asked me to tell you that his friend in Guangzhou and Shenzhen got a successful divorce and is quite satisfied with the terms of the divorce."
"Also asked me to pass on the message to that person, thank you for your discovery."
"What discovery?" Yu Xiangwan was very curious.
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "My brother's friend suspected that his wife was cheating on him, but he has been secretly investigating and has not found any evidence."
"It was Zhiming who discovered through the recording that his wife's cheating partner was actually a woman."
Yu Xiangwan suddenly said "Oh"...
At around 8:20 in the morning, Yu Zhiming arrived at the central building of the hospital and heard some bad news.
The hospital conducted an in-depth investigation into the 23 outpatient patients of Yu Zhiming who were admitted to the hospital yesterday.
Seventeen of them admitted that they contacted scalpers because the scalpers promised that they would be able to get a number and would collect the money after the number was obtained.
They did successfully get an appointment with Yu Zhiming for outpatient treatment, and paid an additional fee ranging from 10,000 to 16,000 yuan.
As for why scalpers are so powerful, the hospital said further investigation is needed...
Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming welcomed Liu Qilun, the father of Xiaoxue's roommate, and his middle-aged client named Zou Yi, who was thin and had liver cancer.
Yu Zhiming first examined Zou Yi's liver area, but as soon as he started examining, he found something wrong.
"Mr. Zou, was your liver cancer diagnosed by pathology? Or was it confirmed by imaging tests?"
Pathological testing is the gold standard for cancer diagnosis.
That is, the diseased tissue is removed from the body and subjected to immunohistochemistry and even genotyping in vitro.
This is a 100% sure way to detect cancer.
However, there are certain risks in removing diseased tissue, whether through surgery or puncture biopsy.
Experienced clinicians can also diagnose solid cancers by combining various imaging information such as enhanced CT, enhanced MRI, PET-CT, and ultrasound angiography with some physical test indicators.
However, the reliability of cancer diagnosis based mainly on imaging is slightly lower than that of pathological diagnosis.
Generally speaking, major diseases such as cancer are mostly diagnosed through pathology.
Unless the clinician is very confident and sure about his or her imaging judgment.
After all, this is cancer.
Once a patient learns that he or she has cancer, his or her physical and mental state is likely to change dramatically, and he or she may even make incredible decisions or behaviors.
If it is finally confirmed to be a misdiagnosis, it will be a lot of fun.
Zou Yi, with a sallow complexion and a listless expression, replied, "The person who examined me was a well-known local hepatobiliary specialist. He told me this."
"I just remember that I had a lot of tests, including CT scans, MRIs, and various tests."
"As for whether the liver cancer was confirmed by pathological examination or imaging, I don't know."
"When I was suspected of having liver cancer, my brain became a mess, with all sorts of thoughts running wild."
Zou Yi sighed again, "It's only been these past few days that I've regained consciousness. I figured I'd sort out some things while I'm still healthy, so I don't feel powerless in the future."
Liu Qilun, who was standing quietly by the side, keenly realized that Yu Zhiming was definitely not asking casually.
He asked expectantly, "Doctor Yu, is there any other possibility for Mr. Zou's liver cancer?"
Yu Zhiming did not respond and began to conduct a detailed examination of Zou Yi's liver.
This time he checked for six or seven minutes before he withdrew his hand.
Facing the anxious and nervous gazes of Zou Yi and Liu Qilun, Yu Zhiming said cautiously, "According to my examination, it doesn't look like liver cancer, but more like a liver abscess."
"How about this, I'll arrange for you to go to the Liver Disease Research Center for further confirmatory tests."
Some liver diseases can easily be misdiagnosed as liver cancer.
For example, cirrhotic nodules.
Most primary liver cancers develop on the basis of cirrhosis.
In patients with severe cirrhosis, a large number of proliferative nodules will appear in the liver.
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish this type of nodule from early liver cancer in clinical imaging.
At the same time, tumor patients with these two diseases often have elevated alpha-fetoprotein, so it is easy to confuse them.
Another example is hepatic hemangioma.
Both it and liver cancer are space-occupying pathological changes with rich blood vessels. Clinical diagnostic examinations through color Doppler ultrasound and clinical diagnostic examinations through enhanced CT scanning will show abundant blood flow, so it is easy to be confused.
The liver abscess that Yu Zhiming mentioned is a pathological change in the liver that occurs after a certain part of the body is infected and spreads through the blood.
Patients often show clinical manifestations of fatigue, low fever, weight loss, and discomfort in the liver area.
From the pathological point of view, if the abscess is very small, it is not easy to distinguish it from liver cancer.
Yu Zhiming's words made Zou Yi stand up from the examination bed with his eyes shining.
"Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu, I..."
Zou Yi was so excited that his breathing became rapid, his tongue became tied, and he couldn't speak normally.
Liu Qilun reached out and pressed Zou Yi's shoulders, letting him sit back on the examination bed.
He also said excitedly: "Doctor Yu, we know your ability. You are a modern-day miracle doctor. You have never made a mistake in your diagnosis."
"You mean, it's not cancer?"
Yu Zhiming said: "I can only say that based on my examination, the possibility of liver abscess is greater."
"As for the specific situation, it is best to go to the Liver Disease Research Center for further diagnosis."
Yu Zhiming wrote a referral form for Zou Yi.
Next, he saw the guy who came here weakly and dragging his body, leave quickly with his legs and feet moving like the wind.
Liu Qilun had to jog a few steps to catch up.
Yu Zhiming returned to the big office and unexpectedly found Dr. Wang Wu from the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine waiting for him.
"What's up?"
Wang Wu chuckled and said nothing. He took out two small brown medicine bottles with wide mouths from his pocket and handed them over.
Yu Zhiming reached out to take it and found that there was a wax-sealed pill the size of a quail egg in each of the two small medicine bottles.
"Doctor Wang, was this successful?"
Wang Wu smiled triumphantly and said, "After days of hard work, we finally succeeded."
"Twelve pills were made in total."
"According to the prior agreement, I gave six pills to Chairman Gu, and I kept four for myself."
Yu Zhiming quickly declined, "Oh, Doctor Wang, two pills of such an expensive medicine are too much for me."
"Just one pill! Just one pill!"
Although Yu Zhiming said this, he held the two small medicine bottles tightly in his hands and did not return a single pill.
Considering Dr. Wang Wu's character and ability, even if he exaggerated the efficacy of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pill, the actual effect must be extraordinary.
In other words, this is a drug that can play a big role at critical moments.
If he was being polite and Dr. Wang really took one of the pills back, the loss would be huge.
Wang Wu laughed and said, "Doctor Yu, this is what you deserve. Without you, there would be no medicine."
"Two pills, that's just right."
"You can carry one with you in case of emergency. The other one can be kept at home as a backup."
After a pause, Wang Wu continued, "This medicine can be taken orally or dissolved in warm water."
"This medicine works best on patients with chronic illnesses. It's much less effective on acute and trauma patients."
Yu Zhiming nodded.
Wang Wu moved closer to him and lowered his voice, saying, "Someone once offered me a hundred thousand for one, but I refused."
"Doctor Yu, it's becoming increasingly difficult to collect the many medicinal ingredients for this medicine. Perhaps there won't be a next time."
"Don't be soft-hearted and use it on the patient casually."
Yu Zhiming gripped the two small medicine bottles tighter and said solemnly, "Such a valuable medicine cannot be purchased even with money. I will definitely not use it carelessly."
After seeing off Dr. Wang Wu, Zhou Mo came over.
"What kind of medicine is this? It's so mysterious."
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "It is a magical medicine that can bring back the dead, turn bones into flesh, and bring people back to life."
Zhou Mo curled his lips and said, "Blow, blow hard! Why don't you say it's an elixir that can make people become immortal instantly..."
