Chapter 624 I Want to Live Well
After eight o'clock in the evening, when Yu Zhiming returned to his residence in Zijinyuan, he found that the living room had become much more spacious.
"Have you moved all your things to your new home?"
Qing Ning said proudly, "I contacted a moving company and moved all my things over at once."
"I spent the whole afternoon cleaning up my new house. I'm really tired."
Yu Zhiming touched the guy's head and praised him, "Very impressive! You've worked hard."
Yu Xiangwan saw what Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning had brought back and said with delight, "Oh, Jinling's famous duck."
"I ate it once when I went to Jinling last time. It was delicious and I can't forget it."
Yu Xiangwan took out a bag of salted duck from the box and said with a smile, "I remember it very clearly. It's this brand."
"Hey, Lao Wu, that baby with a torsion of the umbilical cord that we rushed to Jinling to treat should have been born several months ago, right?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be about four or five months old now."
Yu Xiangwan complained, "The baby was born safely, you should have told us."
"Nowadays, many patients forget about their doctors once they recover and never think of them again."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "They paid a huge sum of 100,000 yuan to hire us. They don't owe us anything."
Seeing that the fourth sister was holding the duck with an expression of reluctance to let it go, he said, "Sister, if you want to eat it, just eat it."
Yu Xiangwan was a little tempted, but held back.
"Let's eat it tomorrow morning. We ate a lot for dinner, and eating duck will definitely make us gain weight again."
"I've gained more than ten pounds."
Yu Xiangwan looked troubled again and said, "I work so hard every day, but I keep gaining weight. The root cause is that the food is so good. Lao Wu, this is all your fault."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes.
"Sister, this fully illustrates two points."
"First, your hard work is just an illusion. Second, you can't control your mouth and eat too much."
"Look at me, I can eat so much and yet I still maintain a thin figure."
Yu Xiangwan snorted softly and said, "You are just a freak. Who can compare with you?"
She then said, "Tomorrow night, we're having a dinner together in the cafeteria. Do you two want to come?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said, "Forget it, we won't go. Qing Ning and I can just have something to eat for dinner."
Qing Ning continued, "Tomorrow I'm going to sort out the clothes, shoes, and bags that I left at my eldest brother's house, and then move to our new house. I'll have to sort through them some more, so it'll probably take the whole day."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Yu Xiangwan ran to open the door and found the stunningly beautiful Jiang Quan standing outside.
But tonight, she looked normal in her attire.
Yu Xiangwan noticed that there was a box of Wuliangye and a box of Remy Martin XO at her feet.
"What's up?"
Jiang Quan smiled and said, "Hello, Sister Yu. I came here to express my gratitude and to talk to Doctor Yu about something."
"Oh, come in..."
Jiang Quan carried two boxes of wine into the living room, exchanged greetings, sat down on the sofa, and expressed his gratitude solemnly.
"Dr. Yu, Ms. Gu, Sister Yu, thank you for your selfless and kind help, which allowed my boyfriend to pass away peacefully."
"Now, my boyfriend's funeral has been completed."
"Well, I'm also in the process of handling the inheritance procedures for my boyfriend's estate. Because the will is standardized and valid, the inheritance has gone smoothly and is now going through the formalities."
Yu Xiangwan interrupted, "Your boyfriend's family?"
Jiang Quan smiled wryly and said, "My boyfriend never mentioned his family to me before he died. I asked him two or three times, but each time he changed the subject."
"As for his funeral arrangements, he told me not to inform anyone and to just scatter his ashes quietly into the sea."
Yu Zhiming listened quietly and saw Jiang Quan looking at him again.
"Doctor Yu, you once said that insensitivity to cold could be a disease?"
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and ignored her.
Jiang Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "Doctor Yu, to be honest, I did think about it at the time. I really thought about it. Should I go to the hospital to see you for a physical examination?"
"It's just that my boyfriend can't do without my care. I'm afraid if the physical examination reveals a serious problem, I won't be able to take care of him."
"One more thing..."
Jiang Quan sighed, "At the time, I had some desperate thoughts, thinking that it might just be a terminal illness, so my boyfriend and I could be a couple with the same fate."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but say bluntly: "Now that you have money and property, are you afraid of death again?"
Jiang Quan nodded without any embarrassment.
"Yeah, indeed, I don't want to die."
After a pause, she continued slowly, "Given my original situation, I shouldn't have had true love."
“But God has given me a great gift.”
"Even for my boyfriend, I have to live well and live well with his expectations."
Yu Zhiming didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Is it high-sounding and hypocritical?
Or has he really become pure and innocent?
Jiang Quan continued, "Doctor Yu, after graduating from high school, I went to Hengdian with the dream of becoming an actor and started working as an extra."
"I was making very little money at the time, so to save as much as possible, I always showered in cold water."
“Even in winter.”
"After two years in Hengdian, I saw no hope, so I came to Binhai and worked in the bar atmosphere group."
"For this job, you need to wear something as thin and revealing as possible, which is what we call sexy."
"At that time, I found that in winter, other girls would shiver from the cold even if they wore thick coats when they left the bar, but I didn't feel that cold at all."
"Doctor Yu, I've always been known for my resistance to cold and freezing because I trained myself by taking cold showers in Hengdian."
Jiang Quan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and moistened his throat.
"Doctor Yu, I've taken a few cold showers these past few days, and I've discovered that the feeling is completely different from when I took cold showers in Hengdian."
She said slowly, "I took cold showers in Hengdian, firstly to save money, and secondly to exercise my perseverance, and also to motivate myself and endure hardships that others cannot."
"Every time I take a cold shower, I need to prepare myself mentally, encourage myself, and hypnotize myself, but it's really cold."
"Every time I take a shower, I shiver all over."
"But during these few days of cold showers, I didn't feel much cold, and I didn't shiver."
"That made me realize that there must be something really wrong with my body."
Jiang Quan pleaded, "Doctor Yu, please forgive my previous slowness and check if there's really something wrong with my body."
"Or has my ability to resist freezing greatly improved?"
Yu Zhiming said reluctantly, "For the sake of your deceased boyfriend, I will reluctantly examine you."
Although Yu Zhiming seemed reluctant, he was actually happy to examine Jiang Quan.
Yu Zhiming always remembered Jiang Quan's fearlessness of the cold. It was like an itch on the back that would always make people uncomfortable if they didn't really scratch it.
Now that I have the opportunity, I will naturally not miss it.
He immediately stood up and said, "Lie down on the sofa so that I can examine you."
Jiang Quan lay down on the sofa as she was told. Yu Zhiming put on surgical gloves and gave her a full body examination.
The sensation of hot and cold is sensed by the peripheral nerves on the body surface and transmitted to the central nervous system.
The lack of obvious sensation of cold and heat may be caused by physiological or pathological factors.
Physiological factors, such as long-term friction of local skin or exposure to extreme environments, can lead to compensatory thickening of the skin's stratum corneum and even the formation of calluses, commonly known as calluses.
This will cause the subcutaneous nerves to be separated from the outside world by thicker skin tissue, which will weaken their sensitivity to external cold and hot stimuli, resulting in unclear sensations of cold and heat.
This is a normal physiological phenomenon.
As for pathological factors, there are quite a lot.
For example, chronic poisoning caused by exposure to heavy metals, synthetic chemicals, etc. can lead to damage to peripheral nerves and loss of sensitivity to cold and heat.
If the patient has a history of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and poor blood sugar and blood control, it may cause damage to the peripheral nerves, resulting in a lack of obvious sensation of cold and heat.
In addition, if there is a more serious infection, or an autoimmune disease, nerve compression syndrome, etc., peripheral neuropathy may occur, causing abnormal nerve sensory function and resulting in unclear sensation of cold and heat.
Another possibility is that the peripheral nerves on the surface of the body are sensing normally, but there is a problem in the process of transmitting cold and warm sensations to the central nervous system.
Yu Zhiming started the examination from the head first.
Some cerebrovascular diseases may affect the temperature sensing center in the brain, making the patient insensitive to temperature.
After a series of examinations, Yu Zhiming found no brain problems.
Then, Yu Zhiming began to examine Jiang Quan's spine.
Long-term poor posture or severe lumbar muscle strain may lead to cervical and lumbar spine diseases such as herniated disc and scoliosis.
This condition generally causes the intervertebral disc to swell or dislocate and protrude, compressing the nerves, causing conduction disorders in the nerve function, and making the limbs insensitive to temperature.
Yu Zhiming touched Jiang Quan's back and found that her skin was still very smooth and there was no thickening of the stratum corneum.
However, he found that Jiang Quan's subcutaneous tissue had a fat layer of reasonable thickness.
This surprised Yu Zhiming a little.
Judging from his body shape, Jiang Quan looks quite slender, but unexpectedly he is a guy with a small frame and is fat but not greasy.
Although fat has the effect of keeping you warm, it cannot make you feel cold.
Judging from Jiang Quan's description, she obviously had a disorder in her perception of cold.
This is most likely caused by pathological reasons.
Yu Zhiming calmed down and examined Jiang Quan's spine.
After a while, a major discovery was made.
An elliptical fluid cavity with a long diameter of about 0.5 cm was found in the spinal canal of Jiang Quan's second and third thoracic vertebrae.
Is this syringomyelia?
Yu Zhiming continued to check.
After examining the entire spine, Yu Zhiming discovered three abnormal fluid cavities in Jiang Quan's spinal cord.
This also made Yu Zhiming certain that Jiang Quan had syringomyelia.
This disease usually develops slowly, gradually worsens, and can last for decades.
Abnormal temperature sensation is one of the symptoms of syringomyelia.
It will gradually cause the patient to lose their sense of temperature, leading to frostbite and burns without knowing it...
"Jiang Quan, you have syringomyelia and need to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment."
Yu Zhiming comforted him again: "Don't worry too much, you are still in the early stages, and the surgical treatment is very effective..."
