Chapter 723 You Have the Final Say
The next morning, Yu Zhiming got up at half past five.
When he came downstairs, he saw that his parents and elder sister had already gotten up and prepared three large suitcases.
"You're only going back for a few days, so you don't need to bring so much luggage, right?"
Yu's father said, "Since I'm going back, I naturally have to stay in my hometown for a while and take care of some things."
Seeing Yu Zhiming grinning, Yu Zhaoxia added, "Don't worry, it won't take too long. He'll be back in a month at most."
"Old Five, quickly check Dad's health..."
Yu Zhiming carefully examined his father, mother, and elder sister.
The examination results are all pretty good.
After breakfast, Qing Ning took a special car to take Yu's father, Yu's mother, and Yu Chaoxia to the high-speed rail station.
Yu Zhiming goes to work...
Around ten o'clock in the morning, Yu Zhiming welcomed a patient who had an appointment, a girl who was so skinny that she would fall down if the wind blew.
Her name is Zou Xuan, she is only fifteen years old, 1.57 meters tall, but weighs only 51 kilograms.
However, although the girl looked frighteningly thin, she walked into the large office by herself. Yu Zhiming felt that her eyes were bright and her mental state was pretty good.
In addition to her mother, Zou Xuan was accompanied by Ms. Cai Wei, who traveled in a Rolls-Royce and whose net worth is unknown.
Zou Xuan's mother took out a thick stack of examination materials from her backpack and handed it to Yu Zhiming.
"Doctor Yu, this is the list of my daughter's physical examinations in recent years."
"Several medical experts have confirmed that my daughter has severe lipodystrophy."
Lipodystrophy, also known as fat redistribution, refers to a disorder in the body's production, utilization, and storage of fat.
There are two completely different situations when you suffer from this disease.
First, you won’t gain weight no matter how much you eat.
It removes fat from certain parts of the body, especially the arms, legs, face and buttocks.
This situation can be said to be what many people dream of, eating and drinking to your heart's content and still having a perfect figure.
The second situation will cause excessive obesity.
This situation is just the opposite. The person will gain weight even if he drinks cold water or blows northwest wind.
Fat will accumulate in large quantities in the abdomen, chest, back of the neck and other parts of the body, which will not only cause other metabolic disorders, but also cause obesity diseases including high blood lipids and high blood sugar.
The current medical research on the disease of fat metabolism disorder is still in the exploratory stage.
The cause of the disease is still unclear, but it may be related to genetics. There is currently no specific treatment.
The patient's symptoms can be relieved by strictly controlling the diet and applying medication.
Yu Zhiming quickly flipped through the girl's latest physical examination information while listening to the girl's mother's narration.
"I was treated for fat metabolism disorder twice, each time for three months, but I didn't see any results, so I gave up."
After a two-second pause, Zou Xuan's mother continued, "We've also consulted several renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. They diagnosed her with a weak pulse, a weak spleen and stomach, and qi, blood, and yang deficiency."
"In short, it's either weak or empty."
"I've taken a lot of Chinese medicine, but it hasn't had much effect."
Zou Xuan's mother said with hope, "Honestly, I'm almost desperate. Doctor Yu, please take the trouble to help my daughter recover as soon as possible."
"She's only fifteen."
"Mrs. Zhou, I can only say that I will try my best." Yu Zhiming replied and put down the inspection materials in his hand.
He didn't expect to be able to find problems that others couldn't find among these test data.
He knew he didn't have that ability.
Yu Zhiming mainly uses these test data to get a general understanding of the girl's physical condition.
Judging from the data from various physical tests such as urine tests, blood tests, liver function tests, and gastrointestinal function tests, the girl in front of us is relatively healthy, except for being skinny.
Yu Zhiming cast his gaze on the girl's palm-sized, slightly pale face and found that her expression was calm, without any signs of anxiety, decadence or worry.
The mentality is not bad!
Yu Zhiming commented to himself, "Let me check my body first..."
As soon as he brought the person into the examination room, he heard a thud of something heavy hitting the floor from upstairs. The next moment, he heard the harsh sound of something heavy being dragged across the floor from somewhere else.
This week, it's moving time.
Many medical instruments and equipment, office furniture and supplies in the center's small building need to be counted and transported.
Various movements occurred one after another and never stopped.
Seeing Yu Zhiming's frown, Zhou Mo suggested, "Doctor Yu, should I go and tell them to stop?"
Yu Zhiming pondered for a moment and said to Zhou Mo, "Forget it, go and drive my stretcher over here."
"Well, in the afternoon, when I do volunteer cancer screening, I'll ask them to stop moving..."
Twenty minutes later, Yu Zhiming conducted a thorough full-body examination on Zou Xuan on his soundproof bed carriage.
The inspection results showed no findings worth exploring.
Although the girl's internal organs are obviously weak, the pony and the cart match her thin little body, so she doesn't look weak anymore.
Nothing was discovered again!
But judging from the girl's frighteningly thin body, it was obvious that something was wrong.
However, Yu Zhiming's investigative method, which he was proud of and had always been successful, failed to find anything this time and he returned empty-handed.
Go ask the teacher again?
Yu Zhiming rejected it in his heart.
Having been with the teacher for more than half a year, Yu Zhiming has some understanding of the teacher's ability limit.
In the case of the young girl, medical experts from multiple hospitals have been unable to resolve the issue, and Yu Zhiming couldn't find any abnormalities either. It's highly likely that Teacher Qi Yue doesn't have any good solution except to eliminate the problem one by one and conduct trial and error.
So, this time, do it yourself?!
Yu Zhiming, who made the decision, became full of fighting spirit.
Yes, do it yourself!
It just so happens that this is a very good opportunity to verify my own quality.
Without the support of meticulous and bug-free investigation methods, and only using the diagnostic methods used by other doctors, can he find the cause of the disease quickly, efficiently and economically?
This time, Yu Zhiming treated himself as an ordinary doctor and used conventional methods to find out the cause of the girl's thinness.
Just considering the girl's situation...
Yu Zhiming thought intently for a few minutes and finally came up with a solution.
Observation method.
He immediately called the head nurse Zhan Qi, arranged an observation ward for the girl Zou Xuan, and sent someone to monitor her continuously around the clock.
"From now on, record the girl's data in detail."
"For example, what foods were eaten and how much was eaten, accurate to grams. How much water was drunk, accurate to milliliters."
"In short, everything imported must be accurately recorded."
"Also, your urine and feces waste must be recorded for me, accurate to grams and milliliters."
When Zhan Qi heard this, there was no change on his face.
It was obvious that there was a problem with the process of nutrient intake and output for the young girl in front of me.
It is normal for Yu Zhiming to ask them to accurately record the incoming and outgoing data.
As for how much poop can be produced by one hundred grams of food, some people have actually done research on it.
After food is digested and absorbed in our gastrointestinal tract, it turns into nutrients and waste substances.
Nutrients are absorbed into the blood for use by the body, while waste products are excreted from the body.
These waste materials mainly include feces, urine, sweat, etc.
After one hundred grams of food is digested and absorbed, the remaining waste material is about twenty to forty grams of feces.
However, this data is only calculated based on the average under general circumstances.
It doesn't work for all people or all foods.
Each person's digestive system function and health status, eating habits, dietary fiber content and water content will affect the amount of stool.
For the same person, the amount of waste produced by eating the same weight of coarse grains and refined foods will definitely be different.
If two different people eat the same weight of rice, the amount of waste produced by each person will also be different.
Yu Zhiming continued, "Also, record the type of activity, amount of activity, and rest time..."
Zhan Qi wrote down Yu Zhiming's instructions and repeated them again. After confirming that there was nothing missed, he took Zou Xuan and her mother to go through the hospitalization procedures.
Cai Wei stayed in the big office and did not follow him out.
"Doctor Yu, I went to see him. I visited him while he was sleeping. He has changed a lot. I could hardly recognize him."
Cai Wei sighed and added, "I also hired an old Chinese doctor to take care of him and help him recover faster."
As she spoke, she took out a check and handed it over.
Yu Zhiming didn't answer and asked, "What are you doing?"
Cai Wei chuckled and said, "I know you, Doctor Yu, have set up a new charity fund. This is a small token of my appreciation."
"I hope that Dr. Yu's medical skills will become more and more advanced, and that you can research more medical results. I also hope that you can help more people in need."
"Thank you for your love and generosity!" Yu Zhiming expressed his gratitude and took the check.
This is a transfer check for two million.
Yu Zhiming handed the check back to Zhou Mo.
The Zhiming Fund has been approved, and items such as seals are now kept by Zhou Mo.
Zhou Mo took the check and then, not quite expertly, issued a donation receipt to Cai Wei...
After seeing Cai Wei off, Yu Zhiming walked into the director's office and reported Zou Xuan's situation to Teacher Qi.
After listening to the report, Qi Yue quickly glanced through several copies of Zou Xuan's physical examination data.
“Not lipodystrophy?”
"You haven't found any new suspicious points?"
Qi Yue pondered for a minute or two, then slowly said, "I don't have any idea about this girl's problem."
"Hold a meeting to analyze the situation?"
Yu Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "I've arranged for the girl to be admitted to the hospital and asked Head Nurse Zhan to arrange for someone to monitor her physiological activities 24 hours a day."
"Teacher, I think if I still don't find anything new in three days, we can hold another meeting to analyze the condition."
Qi Yue met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said with a smile, "Sure, you are her attending physician."
"Everything is up to you..."
Please support me with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, etc.!!!
