Chapter 654: Just Pretend You Never Mentioned It
Around nine o'clock the next morning, Yu Zhiming took Zhou Mo to the Affiliated Hospital of Binhai University.
He came to the inpatient building of the thoracic surgery department and followed Zhou Moxian to the single room where Wen Ling was.
Yu Zhiming saw a middle-aged woman sitting beside the bed, reading a novel to Wen Ling in a soft voice.
The middle-aged woman saw Yu Zhiming and stood up in panic.
"Ah, Dr. Yu, it's you!"
The middle-aged woman put down her book, took two steps forward, and said somewhat bewilderedly, "I didn't know you would come."
"Dr. Yu, thank you so much."
"The child is alive."
"Um, Dr. Yu, would you like a banana? Or an apple?"
Yu Zhiming looked at the middle-aged woman who didn't know where to put her hands and said politely, "You don't have to be polite. I just came to see Wen Ling and I have to leave soon."
At this time, Zhou Mo put down the fruit basket he brought and put the bouquet of flowers he brought into the empty vase on the bedside table.
Yu Zhiming looked at Wen Ling lying on the hospital bed.
Compared to the last time we met, she had become thinner, and even her cheeks were more prominent.
Yu Zhiming knew that this was the strain on his body caused by the surgery, coupled with the fact that he couldn't eat properly during this period due to the pain from the incision.
He met Wen Ling's watery eyes and reached out to gently explore her chest for a moment.
Yu Zhiming withdrew his hand and said, "You've recovered well."
"After you get through this recovery period, you have to try to eat more and exercise regularly."
Yu Zhiming also reminded: "After recovery, you will have a compensatory physical growth period of up to one or two years."
"Whether she can grow a few more centimeters and grow into a big girl depends on this period of time."
Wen Ling whispered, "I will grow up to be a big girl. I am trying hard to eat now."
Yu Zhiming smiled gently and said, "Rest assured and recover well. The most difficult time is over."
Wen Ling nodded and said, "Dr. Yu, thank you! I will never forget your kindness."
Yu Zhiming said: "That's not necessary. Just work hard to become a useful person and repay your parents."
"I have something else to do, I have to leave..."
After saying this, Yu Zhiming nodded to Wen Ling's mother and left the ward.
Wen Ling's mother sent Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo out of the ward and returned to Wen Ling.
"My daughter, you have met a noble person this time."
Wen Ling's mother then taught her, "My daughter, your life is no longer entirely your own."
"After you recover, you must learn to work hard and make progress, and become a useful person, just like Dr. Yu expects."
"Let Dr. Yu know that he didn't help the wrong person."
Wen Ling hummed and said, "Mom, I will work hard to improve myself and won't make you worry anymore..."
A few minutes later, Yu Zhiming met up with Dr. Lou Xinghua and walked into a single room.
The scene in the ward made Yu Zhiming frown.
A young woman with heavy makeup is facing a mobile phone on a live broadcast stand, calling for gifts.
A pale and skinny boy was sitting on the hospital bed, watching Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf on a tablet computer and laughing.
A pair of honest-looking parents were eating on the other side of the ward.
We ate sesame cakes and pickled mustard greens.
Seeing Yu Zhiming and others coming in, the heavily made-up woman quickly stopped the live broadcast.
The parents also dropped their food and came over to greet them.
"It really is you, Doctor Yu! We've been waiting so long for you, and finally you've arrived."
"Please check my son's body!"
Yu Zhiming didn't waste any time and went straight to giving the boy on the hospital bed a full body examination.
But the test results were not very good.
This boy, who is actually thirteen years old but looks ten years old, and has the intellectual development of a six or seven-year-old, suffers from heart failure caused by heart malformation. His liver, kidneys, lungs and other organs have shown obvious functional degeneration.
Especially the kidneys of boys.
In Yu Zhiming's perception, the boy's kidneys were not far from becoming diseased.
The external manifestation is that the boy's lower limbs have become swollen.
During Yu Zhiming's examination, the boy's heart deformity was indeed more serious than Wen Ling's.
But he was only thirteen years old, five years younger than Wen Ling. His internal organs and physical condition should not be so bad.
Yu Zhiming speculated that the boy did not receive good care, such as a light diet low in salt.
Will eating high-fat and high-salt foods accelerate kidney damage?
"Doctor Lou, Doctor Yu, when exactly can my son have surgery?"
In response to the child's parents' questions, Yu Zhiming vaguely replied, "We need to discuss it," and left the ward.
When they returned to Dr. Lou's office, he asked directly, "Dr. Yu, is there a problem?"
Yu Zhiming didn't answer but asked, "Did this child give up his heart transplant voluntarily? Or was he forced to give it up?"
Dr. Lou replied, "From what I understand, he gave up voluntarily. Dr. Yu, is there something wrong?"
Yu Zhiming frankly said, "This child's kidneys are severely damaged. Even if the heart transplant is successful, he won't be able to withstand the sudden increase in workload and the toxic side effects of anti-rejection drugs."
"Voluntarily giving up the transplant can be considered a good thing."
He met Dr. Lou's gaze and said, "Similarly, even if the heart deformity correction surgery is a lucky success, this child's kidneys are like a dam with thousands of holes, unable to withstand the impact of the flood."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming formally stated his attitude.
"Given the extent of this child's heart deformity and his physical condition, I do not recommend corrective surgery."
Dr. Lou pondered for a moment and sighed, "Dr. Yu, to be honest, I don't have much confidence in this operation."
"As long as someone asks me for help, I can't refuse."
He asked again: "Is there no possibility of success?"
Yu Zhiming said thoughtfully, "Considering Wen Ling's condition, a simple heart deformity correction surgery might still have a chance of success, but the chance is only about 30% to 40% at most, and it can't be any higher."
"The biggest danger is actually the postoperative recovery period."
"There is a high possibility of acute renal failure and liver function problems."
"Given the boy's physical condition, I personally think the possibility of him surviving is very small."
Dr. Lou said solemnly, "Dr. Yu, I will convey your examination results and suggestions to the child's parents."
"Only, if they insist on having surgery?"
Yu Zhiming replied, "I will come back and give the child a detailed heart examination and draw a heart X-ray diagram..."
Zhou Mo drove Yu Zhiming away from Binhai University Affiliated Hospital.
"Doctor Yu, you said the chances were slim. Why didn't Doctor Lou just decide not to do the surgery?"
Yu Zhiming speculated, "Whether successful or not, it's a valuable experience for the surgeon."
After a pause, he added, "Another point is that someone should have fully covered the child's medical expenses."
"How could the parents, who only eat sesame seed cakes and pickled mustard greens, arrange for their son to stay in a single room in the hospital, unless it wasn't their money that was spent."
Zhou Mo came to his senses and said, "That's right."
"It's not like Wen Ling recovering from surgery. For ordinary people, there's no need to stay in a single room before surgery."
She lowered her voice again and asked, "Doctor Yu, could it be that the beneficiary of the heart transplant paid for it after he voluntarily gave it up?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at her and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Whether there's something going on or not, there's no need for us to delve into it."
Zhou Mo chuckled.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Mo spoke again.
"Doctor Yu, my uncle, aunt, and eldest sister are coming to Binhai this time. They should be staying here for a long time, right?"
Yu Zhiming casually said, "It depends on whether they can get used to living here. If they do, they will stay for a long time."
Zhou Mo uttered an "oh" and said, "Whether you're used to it or not depends mainly on whether you can make friends quickly."
"If my uncle and aunt had a few friends they could talk to, chat with them more often, and go to the park, they would naturally be able to adapt to this place quickly and integrate into the life in Binhai."
Yu Zhiming nodded in agreement.
Zhou Mo smiled again and said, "My mother said that we will be neighbors in the future, and she wants to invite your family to have a meal at my house."
"Doctor Yu, would you do me the honor?"
this……
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, but my family is crowded and messy right now, so it's not very convenient for me to go out and visit you."
"Well, let's talk about it after the 15th."
"Maybe, my family will have a pot-warming party and invite everyone to come over and get together."
Zhou Mo thought that the Yu family was now a bunch of adults and children, so it was indeed not convenient to accept the invitation.
It's just a fact told by my mother, and it's not a good idea to delay it.
Zhou Mo hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Doctor Yu, um, my mom went to a ladies' party last night. At the party, they talked about you, especially the advanced cancer treatment."
Yu Zhiming asked curiously, "Whether it's effective or not is still unknown, but how come the news spread so quickly?"
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Doctor Yu, you are so popular right now. Your every move is closely watched."
"Another reason is that at last night's party, the husband of a woman is a patient with advanced bladder cancer."
"She pays special attention to information in this area."
Yu Zhiming let out a soft "oh".
Zhou Mo continued, "After that lady learned about my mother's relationship with you, Doctor Yu, she came to my mother and begged her for help, hoping that she could help her get treatment from you."
She glanced at Yu Zhiming's expression, which didn't show much of a strange reaction, and continued tentatively, "Doctor Yu, I also know that this treatment opportunity is extremely valuable."
"It's just that my mother was temporarily detained there by those people. For the sake of face, I agreed to help ask."
"Doctor Yu, if you feel uncomfortable, just pretend I never mentioned this..."
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "It's indeed not very convenient. I'll just pretend you never mentioned it."
this……
Zhou Mo was choked and felt very uncomfortable.
After a few minutes, she couldn't hold it in any longer and asked with puffed cheeks, "Doctor Yu, do you really not need to think about it anymore?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "Don't think about it."
"There are only a few spots left. I need to choose the most suitable patient. I can't use them to give favors."
"You promised the director last night." Zhou Mo was obviously a little unconvinced.
Yu Zhiming replied calmly: "The director you are talking about is actually my teacher."
"I'm still yours..."
Zhou Mo blurted out half of his words and couldn't continue.
She is just a junior assistant and Yu Zhiming is her boss.
Judging from their past relationship, it can be generally said that Yu Zhiming has always been taking care of her.
Zhou Mo has been doing his job and has not made much contribution to Yu Zhiming.
She really wasn't in a position to ask for too much.
Thinking of this, Zhou Mo felt helpless and disappointed, and also a little unwilling...
