Chapter 919 Request for observation (asking for monthly ticket)
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Qi, a 27-year-old pregnant woman from Northeast China, arrived at Zhizhen Building exhausted, accompanied by her husband.
In the soundproof examination room, Yu Zhiming first performed a full-body examination on the pregnant woman, and then conducted a detailed examination of the fetus in her womb that was only 24 weeks old.
After completing the examination, Yu Zhiming looked at the young couple.
"Some things must be made clear..."
Yu Zhiming bluntly stated: "This intrauterine interventional surgery is a high-risk procedure, and there is a possibility of intrauterine fetal death."
"This is my first time performing this type of surgery, so I can only tell you that I will do my best."
"I can't make any guarantees about the outcome of the surgery."
Liu Qi gently stroked her swollen belly and said, "Doctor Yu, my husband and I have read almost all of your information online over the past two days."
"We know that you are an incredible and powerful medical genius."
After a pause, Liu Qi continued, "To be honest, we have also consulted the doctor who examined our child."
"She is a very good and highly respected obstetrician and gynecologist in our city."
"She told us that your medical skills are not only superb, but also unparalleled, and she told us to trust you 100%."
Yu Zhiming smiled gently and said, "I didn't expect that my fame would spread to the Northeast, and the evaluation was quite high."
Liu Qi's husband took over and said, "Doctor Yu, we also went to two other tertiary hospitals for consultation, and they also spoke very highly of you."
"They also said that we are extremely lucky that you can treat our child."
Yu Zhiming said modestly, "These are all compliments from my colleagues. In fact, I should say thank you for your absolute trust in me."
He then said, "I'm not sure how much you know about this intrauterine interventional surgery. I need to make it clear to you that, besides being highly difficult and risky, the success rate of the intervention cannot be guaranteed."
"That is to say, even if my surgery is successful this time, there's a good chance your child will need heart deformity correction surgery after birth."
"So, you spent over 100,000 yuan this time, and after the baby is born, you may have to spend hundreds of thousands more on surgery."
Yu Zhiming looked at the young couple with heavy expressions and asked slowly, "To be precise, this operation involves a lot of luck."
"Have you ever considered another decision?"
"Doctor Yu, do you mean that..." Liu Qi did not say that word, as if he was afraid of scaring the fetus in his belly.
Yu Zhiming sighed lightly and nodded.
Liu Qi took a few quick breaths and said, "The doctor who examined us advised us against it, and even our parents advised us against it."
"But we want to give birth to it."
Liu Qi caressed her belly lovingly and said, "It's growing little by little inside me. This feeling of blood connection is something only parents can understand."
She met Yu Zhiming's gaze and said, "It's my child. Now that we have the ability, we won't give it up."
"If it's unfortunate, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to undergo another heart deformity correction surgery. If we really can't do anything..."
At this point, Liu Qi's eyes were filled with tears.
"At least I can tell this child that I fought for it and tried hard, instead of just giving up without doing anything."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "I now understand your determination. The surgery will be tentatively scheduled for tomorrow night."
"Please rest assured, I will try my best."
Then, Yu Zhiming asked Duan Yi to take the young couple to go through the hospitalization procedures.
After they left, Yu Zhiming gave Zhou Mo some more instructions.
"I'm afraid I'll forget everything if I have too many things to do. Please remember some of them for me..."
"If the child's heart doesn't recover well after birth, he or she will need heart deformity correction surgery, and the cost will be covered by our charity fund."
Zhou Mo hummed and said, "I will keep a record of this matter and will never forget it."
At this moment, Zhou Luo knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Doctor Yu, a man has arrived from the capital..."
Zhou Mo interrupted and asked, "Is his name Yi Peng?"
Zhou Luo replied "Yes".
Yu Zhiming knew that this was the patient introduced by Mr. Xia, a master of traditional Chinese medicine who was good at tonic medicine.
He learned that the man was 37 years old and had undergone intestinal perforation surgery three years ago.
It is said that since then, this person has been extremely weak and no amount of supplements can make up for it...
A minute later, Yu Zhiming saw Yi Peng sitting in a wheelchair, pushed in by his wife in the soundproof examination room.
Yu Zhiming saw that this person had a big head supported on his thin neck. He was a little worried. If this person turned his head suddenly, would his neck break due to the weight?
Next, Yi Peng was carried by his wife, who looked a little thin, in a princess-like posture and easily placed on the examination bed.
Yu Zhiming didn't waste any time and started with a physical examination.
After checking for a while, he felt a sense of familiarity.
This person's core temperature is a bit high.
Could it be that, like the girl before who remained very thin no matter how much she ate, her core temperature was too high, causing her body to consume too much energy?
After examining Yi Peng's body, Yu Zhiming found no signs of inflammation that could cause a fever.
Yu Zhiming was sure that he didn't have a cold or fever.
However, Yu Zhiming discovered that the man's intestinal perforation repair surgery had failed, and there was a relatively obvious scar at the suture site, like a ring-shaped intestinal polyp.
This undoubtedly affects the digestion and absorption function of the intestines.
However, according to Yu Zhiming's investigation, this circle of scars that looked like intestinal polyps would not affect Yi Peng's frailty and difficulty walking.
Perhaps the main reason is that there is a lesion in the hypothalamus, which causes the body's temperature control to fail, the core temperature to rise, and then the energy consumption of the body to increase exponentially?
To verify his hypothesis, Yu Zhiming arranged for Zhou Luo to take the patient to undergo enhanced MRI analysis of the hypothalamus...
Around five o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Zhiming received another call from Luo Yu, a cardiac surgeon at the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army.
"Doctor Yu, I've studied this carefully and found that this five-year-old girl's heart deformity is very difficult to treat."
"Even with the added bonus of your perspective image, I can only be 30% sure at best."
Yu Zhiming was not worried but happy, saying, "A 30% chance is not small, it exceeds my expectations."
"The child's parents said that the cardiac surgeons they had consulted previously, both domestically and internationally, either had only a 10% or 20% chance of success or had outright rejected the possibility of surgery."
"Doctor Luo, I'll ask the child's parents for their opinion later. I think they're very likely to agree to the surgery. After all, this child can't be delayed any longer."
Yu Zhiming then asked, "Doctor Luo, what about this medical exchange and surgical teaching?"
Luo Yu quickly replied: "There is no problem in exchanging medical skills with your unit."
"It's just a teaching operation..."
Luo Yu explained: "The surgery on this little girl was a bit difficult. I'm not very confident. It requires the right time, place and people to increase the chances of success."
"Therefore, I need to perform this little girl's surgery in a familiar environment with the assistance of a familiar team. It is not appropriate for me to perform a teaching surgery in your hospital."
He continued, "However, I just happened to receive a pediatric patient whose heart defect is not serious."
"I can use his surgery as a teaching operation and show the entire surgical process without reservation."
Yu Zhiming felt that what Dr. Luo Yu said made sense, so he agreed to his proposal.
The other party's visit to Huashan Hospital for medical exchange and teaching surgery is tentatively scheduled for the end of this month...
After finishing the call with Dr. Luo Yu, Yu Zhiming asked Zhou Mo to contact the parents of the five-year-old girl.
Next, he immediately started screening 50 volunteers for gastric cancer and liver cancer in the very early stage cancer project.
As it was getting close to getting off work, Yu Zhiming, who had been busy all day, finally got a reply from Zhou Mo.
"Doctor Yu, the little girl's parents are willing to undergo surgery. They said they will arrange their work and bring their daughter to the PLA General Hospital in the near future."
The next moment, Zhou Mo reported, "I just received a call from Dr. Sun Qi from Jiaotong University Affiliated Hospital. She hopes to observe the intrauterine interventional surgery you are conducting."
"Watching my surgery?"
Yu Zhiming felt a little strange and said, "My interventional surgery is not worth observing. Without imaging guidance, outsiders can't tell anything."
"Doesn't she know?"
Zhou Mo guessed, "She probably wants to know the results of the surgery as soon as possible. After all, this is the surgery that made her famous."
"If you, Doctor Yu, could do it so easily, I would inevitably feel uncomfortable."
"It's not that narrow-minded, is it?" Yu Zhiming asked.
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "Suppose you have always been the top student in the class, and suddenly someone surpasses you, would you be happy?"
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "I'm definitely not happy."
He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, tell her I'll tell her the results as soon as the operation is over. There's no need to come and observe; it's just a waste of time."
At this time, Ye Peng from Gancaotang knocked on the door and came in.
When Yu Zhiming saw him, he knew that it was time to give physical examinations to the volunteers participating in the liver drug trial.
"Hey, Dr. Ye, how's the progress on alternative medicine?"
Ye Peng introduced: "Yesterday, Dr. Wang mainly demonstrated the processing of medicines and the detailed process of making pills."
"Today, everyone has personally tasted and tested the medicinal properties of the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills."
“When I came, they were still discussing the medicinal properties.”
Ye Peng further explained, "Doctor Yu, the more you understand about the Ginseng Life-Sustaining Pills, the more you can imitate an alternative medicine with a similar efficacy."
Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "I understand this, but it's only a week, and I'm worried that time won't be enough."
Ye Peng persuaded, "Including my father, they are all medical experts who have been immersed in Chinese medicine for more than 50 years and have a wealth of knowledge."
"This time should be enough..."
It’s the end of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
