Chapter 921: Sequelae of Blindness (asking for monthly ticket)
Opening his eyes again, Yu Zhiming caught a glimpse of a faint light coming through the gap in the curtains.
The next morning, it finally arrived.
Suddenly, an idea popped up in Yu Zhiming's mind to lie down for five minutes before getting up.
But as soon as this idea came up, it was knocked down by the self-disciplined villain, who stepped on it twice.
Yu Zhiming lazily got up from the bed and walked out of the soundproof bedroom. He saw Qing Ning with disheveled hair sitting sleepily on the big bed in the master bedroom.
"Go ahead and sleep if you're tired. You don't have to rush."
Qing Ning yawned, got out of bed swiftly, threw herself into Yu Zhiming's arms, and hugged his waist.
"You work hard every day, and I can't share your burden, but I can get up with you, exercise with you, and eat with you."
Qing Ning raised her little face to look at Yu Zhiming and said, "Husband and wife are one, at least they should have the same schedule."
"Otherwise, hey//whew, we can't even get together."
Yu Zhiming raised his hand and flicked the guy's forehead, chuckling, "Your true nature is revealed in just three sentences."
"Okay, time to wash up..."
After washing, exercising and taking a short rest, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning had breakfast together.
At ten minutes past seven in the morning, Yu Zhiming suddenly received a call from Wang Li, a young nurse in the team.
Yu Zhiming answered the call, but before he could ask anything, Wang Li's voice came out of the phone.
"Doctor Yu, Doctor Yu, I heard a regular knocking sound in the bathroom."
"Listen, listen..."
Yu Zhiming concentrated and calmed down, and then he heard a dull knocking sound on the wall on his mobile phone.
After listening for a moment, he hurriedly said, "The sound isn't quite standard, but it should be Morse code for SOS."
"Wang Li, call the police immediately."
"Oh, Doctor Yu, I'll call the police right now..."
Yu Zhiming looked at the phone whose call was ended by Wang Li, and then Qingning's voice rang in his ears.
"Zhiming, do you know Morse code?"
Yu Zhiming looked up at Qing Ning and shook his head, "I don't know Morse code, I can only type SOS."
"I saw a scene like this in a TV series before, and I thought it might be useful if I learned it, so I memorized it."
Qing Ning uttered a soft "oh" and said with interest, "Zhi Ming, teach me how to make the SOS sound."
"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the one. If you really need it in the future, you can use it."
Next, Yu Zhiming taught Qing Ning how to type out the Morse code SOS while knocking on the table while eating.
After a while, Qing Ning, who had mastered this little knowledge, said with a lively tone: "Zhi Ming, I think everyone related to you should learn this, just in case."
"If you really run into a bad guy and get caught, just knock on the wall and ask for help. The bad guy won't pay any attention, but you'll be able to hear it clearly."
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "You really have a way of thinking. This isn't the era of chaotic law and order and rampant criminals."
"Besides, even if you learn it for a while, you will gradually forget it if you don't use it for a long time."
Qing Ning snorted softly, "This is the saying that having many skills is always a burden, being prepared for any eventuality, and preparing for a rainy day..."
At 7:30 in the morning, Yu Zhiming came to the underground parking lot. Zhou Mo, who was waiting in front of the Phantom car, couldn't wait to ask.
"Doctor Yu, what about those three nurses?"
Yu Zhiming replied: "I contacted an acquaintance in the National Health Commission's Discipline Inspection Commission, and he said they would conduct an in-depth investigation."
"We just have to wait for the results of the investigation."
Zhou Mo, who got into the driver's seat of the Phantom, uttered a soft "oh," started the car, and reported, "Doctor Yu, the richest man in Huicheng can't come."
"Did he die from a heart attack?" Yu Zhiming blurted out.
Zhou Mo explained: "This morning, someone over there contacted me and said that he did have a heart attack last night, but he received emergency treatment and also had a heart intervention stent surgery."
"He's fine now."
"Because he has a heart stent, there's no need for him to come to us again."
Yu Zhiming said "oh" nonchalantly.
Zhou Mo sighed with regret: "The cooked fat duck just flew away like that."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "There are plenty of opportunities to make money. It's good that nothing happens to me."
"If that guy hadn't been so reckless and blindly pursued the most skilled doctor, and had obediently undergone the interventional surgery earlier, he wouldn't have suffered such a fright last night."
Zhou Mo rarely explained to others: "This is also human nature. This is a heart surgery. Everyone would be worried and want to find the best doctor."
"What's more, he's the richest man in the area. He has money, so he naturally has the capital to do whatever he wants."
Zhou Mo chuckled again and said, "That's because I met you, Doctor Yu, who now treats money like dirt."
"If any other doctor saw that dizzying sum of two million, they would definitely drop everything they were doing and rush to operate on him."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "I haven't reached the point where I despise money. Other doctors wouldn't be so incapable of resisting the temptation of two million."
Zhou Mo curled his lips and said, "That's two million. I don't think any doctor can resist the temptation of so much money."
"The main thing is that this is reasonable and legal income."
Yu Zhiming said calmly, "There's no point in discussing such speculative topics."
Zhou Mo replied, "That's right, other doctors. The richest man is not a fool, he probably won't pay two million."
After a pause, she changed the subject.
"Doctor Yu, I received a strange call last night. It was from a mobile number in Beijing."
"He said he had a batch of wild ginseng that was over 50 years old and asked if we could eat it."
"I told him that as long as his wild ginseng was genuine and over 50 years old, he could eat as much as he wanted. There was no need to doubt our financial strength."
After a pause, Zhou Mo reported again, "That guy said that since we have the financial strength, we can first take out ten wild ginsengs that meet the requirements and trade with us."
"His price is one million for a tree weighing less than 200 grams, and two million for a tree weighing more than 200 grams."
Zhou Mo said with a worried look on his face, "Doctor Yu, judging from what he said, he probably has far more than ten wild ginseng plants that are over fifty years old."
"But given the current market situation, apart from Jingcheng Hospital, it would be difficult for other companies to produce more than ten wild ginseng plants, right?"
"I suspect the Chu family heard some news and knew we were close to success in developing alternative medicine, so they're thinking of selling us their wild ginseng at a high price."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "I can't rule out this possibility."
"It's a bit premature to say that this alternative medicine is about to succeed. I haven't received any good news yet."
Zhou Mo asked again, "Doctor Yu, should we buy these ten ginsengs? The small ones are one million, and the big ones are two million. These prices are a bit too expensive."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Compared to the price we charge for Ginseng Supplementing Life Pills, the wild ginseng used as the main ingredient is not expensive at one or two million."
He thought for a moment and said, "This ginseng life-extending pill is in our hands, and any alternative medicines that are successfully developed in the future will also be in our hands."
"We have the final say on how to price the drug and how to use it, so no matter how expensive wild ginseng is, we won't lose money. After all, we can pass the cost on to patients."
"However, if alternative medicine can be developed this week, there is no need to spend a lot of money on wild ginseng..."
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible that the Chu family is using ginseng to gather intelligence..."
He couldn't help but knock his forehead again and sighed, "This kind of intrigue is not my forte. It gives me a headache just thinking about it."
"How about this, after you return to the hospital, tell Vice President Gu everything in detail. He's probably good at intrigue and deception, so let him handle this matter..."
Zhou Mo hummed hard...
More than ten minutes later, Yu Zhiming received another call from Wang Li.
"Doctor Yu, the truth is out. It wasn't a bad guy. It was my female neighbor upstairs who lived alone. She went to the bathroom early in the morning and accidentally got her leg stuck in the squat toilet and couldn't pull it out."
"When she saw the police, she burst into tears and said she had been stuck in the toilet for over two hours and couldn't even shout because of a severe cold and fever..."
At around 8:30 in the morning, Yu Zhiming rushed to the large office on the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building.
Zhou Luoying stepped forward and said, "Doctor Yu, the MRI results of patient Yi Peng are out."
"Sure enough, there's something wrong with the hypothalamus."
Yu Zhiming and Zhou Luo came to the viewing light together and checked the two sets of MRI images on the light box.
He was a little dumbfounded when he saw it, because he didn't see any abnormalities in the hypothalamus area in the image.
Yu Zhiming is a family man who knows his own business, and image analysis is not his forte.
It can even be said to be a shortcoming.
Zhou Luo explained, "During the MRI examination, I relayed your words, Dr. Yu, to the radiologists, asking them to focus on the patient's hypothalamus."
"After the enhanced imaging images came out, several senior doctors in the radiology department conducted a consultation and analysis. They concluded that there was an abnormal brightness in this area of the hypothalamus."
"They all concluded that it was a candied haws-shaped tumor, only two or three millimeters in diameter."
"This confirms your judgment, Doctor Yu. The problem with the hypothalamus caused an imbalance in the core body temperature, which in turn caused the patient's energy consumption to increase significantly."
Yu Zhiming tried hard to identify the abnormal brightness and darkness in the image, as well as the candied haws-shaped tumor that Zhou Luo mentioned.
The problem was that after dozens of seconds, he still couldn't figure out where the abnormality was in the image of the hypothalamus.
Yu Zhiming struggled for a moment and decided to ask the question.
"Doctor Zhou, I'm not very good at interpreting images. Please point out the specific abnormalities to me."
Zhou Luo pointed at the image and said, "Actually, I didn't see it at first."
“Until they pointed it out to me.”
"Doctor Yu, look, there are a few small bright spots strung together, like a candied haws..."
Yu Zhiming looked in the direction Zhou Luo pointed, but still couldn't see any bright spots.
He understood that this was a visual sequelae of his early blindness, and his ability to distinguish light and dark details in images was poor...
It’s the last day of the month, please support me with monthly tickets!!!
