Chapter 608: Strong Wind Reveals Strong Grass
Around eleven o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhiming, who had finished a busy period, returned to the big office to replenish his energy as usual. He unexpectedly saw Xiaoxue and Zeng Yan chatting with Zhou Mo.
"Uncle, hehe..."
Xiaoxue giggled a bit before saying in a sweet voice, "I wanted to come and see how you work and what the working environment is like."
Yu Zhiming raised his hand and tapped the little guy on the forehead.
"It's pretty much the same job as when I was at the county hospital. What's so interesting about it? There are so many fun places in Binhai. A hospital for the sick and the dead isn't the right place to visit."
Zeng Yan reached out and pushed Xiaoxue, urging her, "Xiaoxue, hurry up and tell me what's going on. My uncle is very busy."
"Xiaoxue, what's the matter?" Yu Zhiming asked.
Xiaoxue smiled guiltily and said, "Uncle, it's not a big deal. It's just a male high school classmate."
"Not in the same class, but in the same grade."
"He didn't get into university, so he came to Binhai to work. I just found out about this today."
Xiaoxue emphasized again: "Uncle, I don't know him."
"He contacted me through other classmates and said he was having some swelling and itchy skin, and wanted to see you."
Are you swollen or itchy?
It sounds like the situation is serious.
Yu Zhiming said, "Your high school classmate has come to Binhai and is now our fellow villager."
"Tell him to come see me this afternoon."
Xiaoxue smiled widely, grabbed Yu Zhiming's arm, shook it, and complimented him, "I knew you were the most loving uncle in the world."
Yu Zhiming uttered a soft sound, and then heard Zeng Yan say, "Uncle, I want to go find Sister Bao Wan."
"I'll go with Zeng Yan." Xiaoxue said hurriedly.
Yu Zhiming said, "Remember to come back before twelve o'clock. I'll take you to the hospital cafeteria for lunch..."
After the two little guys left, Yu Zhiming poured himself a glass of water and drank it, then asked Zhou Mo softly.
"Did the teacher scold you this morning?"
Zhou Mo shook his head and said, "After the director found out why I hit him, he actually praised me for hitting him well."
"The director also said that so-called high-risk investments are actually gambling, which can easily lead to bankruptcy, and ordinary people shouldn't get involved."
"He will also prevent Qi Zhen from getting involved in similar investments."
Yu Zhiming doubted, "Will that guy listen?"
He ate two cookies, and seeing that Zhou Mo still looked listless, he asked again, "Your friend with three million?"
Zhou Mo sighed and said, "I contacted his parents, and they said they would no longer care about him and would just treat him as if he had never been born."
"I just found out that his parents have already filled his hole twice, once with over one million yuan and once with nearly two million yuan."
"I didn't expect him to keep his gambling habit and lose over three million again. His parents are completely disappointed and really have no money left."
Yu Zhiming consoled him, "Look at the bright side. You haven't been cheated. You can't expect a person like him to pay you back if he refuses to change his ways."
Zhou Mo smiled unnaturally and said, "He and I have been friends for many years. I don't want to see him sinking into this mess, so I did something."
"What's the matter?" Yu Zhiming raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Mo lowered his voice and said, "I called his company and reported him for embezzling the company's payment."
"I think it's a good thing for him that the matter came out earlier."
She asked again with uneasiness, "Doctor Yu, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
Yu Zhiming could only support it and say, "It must be the right thing to do."
"You reported it out of kindness, with the goal of curing illnesses and saving lives. It's absolutely correct..."
The high school classmate Xiaoxue mentioned came quite early, just after 1:00 p.m.
He was tall and thin, two or three centimeters taller than Yu Zhiming, with red hair and an earring in his left ear.
Yu Zhiming really couldn't appreciate a boy of only seventeen or eighteen dressed like this.
However, this young man named Zhai Chuan is quite polite and sweet-spoken.
"Uncle Yu, hello! I heard of your great name when I was in the county town."
"In the past few months, I've seen news about you showing off your skills from time to time on the Internet."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me where you feel unwell."
Zhai Chuan smiled awkwardly, took off his coat and rolled up his sleeves.
A flowery arm appeared before Yu Zhiming's eyes.
This made Yu Zhiming's newly developed good impression of this guy disappear completely.
He is so naughty at such a young age and actually got a tattoo.
If Xiaobo and Xiaoxue dared to get tattoos, Yu Zhiming would break their legs without saying a word.
Zhai Chuan pointed to the small red spots on his arm and said, "Uncle Yu..."
Yu Zhiming corrected him, “Just call me Doctor Yu.”
Zhai Chuan said, "Oh," and continued, "Doctor Yu, I got another tattoo four days ago, and then I got some red spots on my body, and it's a little itchy."
"Also, my legs are swollen."
"The doctor at the clinic said it was an allergic reaction to the tattoo and prescribed me some medicine to treat the allergy."
"I've been taking the medicine and the itching has eased a lot, but my legs and feet are even more swollen."
"Some of my shoes are no longer suitable for me."
"Doctor Yu... I was a little scared, so I contacted Fu Xiaoxue through my classmates..."
Yu Zhiming interrupted and asked, "What do you do now?"
“Working in a bar and learning bartending at the same time!”
Yu Zhiming frowned and asked, "Do you drink a lot every day?"
Zhai Chuan replied honestly, "Sometimes I have to drink with guests, and I also have to taste wine when practicing cocktail making. I do drink a lot every day."
"However, Doctor Yu, I have a good alcohol tolerance. I've basically never been drunk, just tipsy."
Yu Zhiming recalled his previous introduction of "getting another tattoo" and asked, "You have a lot of tattoos on your body?"
Zhai Chuan hummed and replied, "There are tattoos on my chest, back, arms, and legs."
"I secretly got some small tattoos when I was studying. It was only after I came to Binhai that I got some big tattoos."
He added, "Doctor Yu, I've never experienced swelling or itching after getting a tattoo before."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that having a tattoo will narrow your future prospects?"
Zhai Chuan nodded and said, "I know. I have poor academic performance and can't get into university. I definitely can't get a job in a government agency or a state-owned enterprise, and I don't want to be a soldier."
After a pause, he said with a hint of pride, "Doctor Yu, tattoos have helped me make a lot of friends."
"My current bar job was introduced by a tattooed friend who shared the same passion."
Well, it's their own choice...
Yu Zhiming didn't waste any more words and stood up and said, "Come with me to the examination room and I'll check you out."
When they arrived at the examination room, after Zhai Chuan lay down on the examination bed, Yu Zhiming's hand pressed directly on his kidney area.
If you have edema in your body, it is most likely a kidney problem.
After a few taps, Yu Zhiming's expression became serious.
The problem is more serious than he thought.
Bilateral renal failure.
After further examination, Yu Zhiming also found that this guy's liver damage was quite serious.
Yu Zhiming withdrew his hand and said seriously, "You have bilateral renal failure and liver damage. You need to be hospitalized."
These words startled Zhai Chuan so much that he sat up from the examination bed.
"Kidney failure? How is that possible?"
"I'm so young, how could my kidneys fail?"
Yu Zhiming deadpanned, "Many tattoo dyes contain varying amounts of heavy metals, which can be extremely harmful to the kidneys and liver."
"In the past six months, you've gotten multiple tattoos, and they were all large-scale designs?"
Zhai Chuan nodded somewhat woodenly.
Yu Zhiming asked again: "Are you looking for cheap prices, so you go to small or even informal tattoo workshops?"
Zhai Chuan nodded again and said, "I don't make much money now. After paying for food, clothing, housing and transportation, there's not much left."
"I can't afford expensive tattoos."
Yu Zhiming sighed softly, "Low-quality tattoo pigments will only contain more toxic substances."
Seeing the young man's pale face, Yu Zhiming comforted him, "Don't worry too much. Your condition may recover after a period of treatment."
"Even if the recovery is not good, it is possible to live for several decades with regular dialysis."
Seeing that the young man's face was still pale, Yu Zhiming's consolation seemed to have little effect, so he turned to practical issues.
"Zhai Chuan, you need to be hospitalized. If you are hospitalized here, the cost will definitely be much higher."
"In your case, you can go back home to the city or provincial capital and get proper treatment."
"I suggest you discuss this with your parents."
Zhai Chuan regained some consciousness and said, "Thank you, Doctor Yu. I will discuss this with my parents."
Yu Zhiming urged, "Zhai Chuan, make a decision quickly. The sooner you get treatment, the greater your chances of recovery."
"Well, you contact your parents now."
At Yu Zhiming's urging, Zhai Chuan took out his cell phone from his coat pocket and called his father.
The moment the call was connected, Zhai Chuan's emotions finally broke down and he started crying into the phone.
"Dad, I have kidney failure. I'm going to die. Woo woo..."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but sigh as he watched him crying and telling his father about his illness.
He looks like an adult, but he is still a teenager of seventeen or eighteen...
After communicating with my parents, I returned to my hometown on the same day.
Yu Zhiming prescribed him two days of medicine...
After seeing Zhai Chuan off, Yu Zhiming returned to the big office and saw Liu Qilun and his client Zou Yi waiting for him.
Compared with yesterday, Zou Yi today seemed like a different person. It might be an exaggeration to say that his face was flushed, but at least he was full of energy and his eyes were bright.
"Doctor Yu, your diagnosis is absolutely correct. It's confirmed to be a liver abscess, not liver cancer."
"Doctor Yu, you are my savior."
Yu Zhiming said politely, "I don't dare to call myself a lifesaver. A misdiagnosis is a misdiagnosis. It will always be discovered and corrected."
Zou Yi said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, Doctor Yu, by the day the misdiagnosis was corrected, my spirit and body would have collapsed, and there would be no way to save me."
"So, you are my savior."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Yu, could you please do me a favor? If anyone asks you about my condition, just tell them that I have liver cancer."
Yu Zhiming looked at him inquiringly.
Zou Yi sighed deeply and said, "To be honest with you, Doctor Yu, in the past few days since I was diagnosed with liver cancer, I have been troubled by the attitudes and actions of several people around me."
"Strong winds reveal strong grass, and turbulent times reveal loyal ministers!"
"I need to identify who are my true relatives, true friends, and true good subordinates..."
