Chapter 1172 The Dilemma of Preventive Treatment
After Yu Zhiming examined the wife of the wheelchair man, he found that Chinese medicine was not that easy to learn.
According to Mr. Ye, the black spot on the forehead is mainly related to three aspects: weak spleen and stomach, liver qi disharmony, or kidney problems.
However, after a thorough examination, Yu Zhiming discovered that there were no problems worthy of concern with the woman's spleen, stomach, liver, and kidneys. The real problem lay with her left ovary.
"You have a cyst on your left ovary, about three centimeters in diameter."
The wheelchair man's wife was shocked. Her face turned pale and she stammered, "Is it...is it...cancer?"
Yu Zhiming quickly comforted her, "It's not cancer, it's an ovarian cyst, a relatively common gynecological disease."
After a pause, he continued, "It seems that this ovarian cyst hasn't caused any discomfort to your body yet, so you don't have any abnormal feelings."
"Generally, doctors recommend conservative medical treatment for small cysts like these, and wait and see if the cyst disappears on its own within a few months."
"But..."
Yu Zhiming said seriously, "I suggest you remove this cyst along with your left ovary."
"Your left ovary gives me a feeling that, how should I put it, it's not very comfortable. It might get worse in the future."
The man in the wheelchair asked with certainty, "Could it be cancerous?"
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously, "I can't say for sure about the future, but I can only say that I can't rule out this possibility."
"As for how to decide, you make the decision."
"Maybe if I pay more attention to myself in daily life, or take some Chinese medicine, everything will be fine."
The man in the wheelchair once again held his wife's hand and said, "Doctor Yu is an absolute authority in physical examinations, unmatched in the world. We'll listen to Doctor Yu. Anyway, our children are already grown, so you don't need to have any more children."
The woman nodded vigorously, turned her gaze to Yu Zhiming again, and said, "Doctor Yu, I will do the surgery when I get home."
"Um, my husband's surgery?"
"Doctor Yu..."
Yu Zhiming was lucky. Dr. Yu Shiquan was not busy at the moment, so he was able to get through to him on the phone smoothly.
"Doctor Yu, do you remember that more than two years ago, I examined a man named Dai Hezhi who had severely injured his legs?"
Dai Hezhi, who was standing by, quickly added, "The leg injury was caused by being run over by an armored vehicle."
The next moment, a long "oh" sound came from the phone, as Yu Shiquan finally remembered something.
"Now that I think about it, injuries caused by being run over by an armored vehicle are quite rare. I also remember that a prominent figure introduced him here."
"It's just that his injuries are too severe and too complicated. My ability is limited, and forcing surgery could make things worse."
Yu Shiquan on the other end of the call came to his senses and asked, "Doctor Yu, did that person go to your place?"
Yu Zhiming hummed and asked, "You were powerless then, what about you now?"
Yu Shiquan said with great enthusiasm during the call, "With the boundless blessing of your magical powers, Doctor Yu, I am now at least 1.5 times stronger than before."
"That man's injury is no longer a challenge to me."
Dai Hezhi heard this and interrupted excitedly, "Doctor Yu, I am the injured patient, Dai Hezhi."
"Can you, can you...really...really perform surgery on me now?"
Dai Hezhi looked cautious and nervous, fearing that the other party would give an answer that would disappoint him again.
Two or three seconds later, Yu Shiquan's voice came from Yu Zhiming's mobile phone again.
"Comrade Dai, if you come to me again today, my answer to you will still be that I am powerless."
"But, you went to see Dr. Yu, and the result was completely different."
"With Doctor Yu and the combined strength of us, let's put it simply. For Doctor Yu, one plus one is not a matter of being greater than two, but greater than three, or even greater than five."
"With Doctor Yu leading us, we can take on challenges far beyond our individual capabilities..."
Because Dai Hezhi's leg injuries were serious and complicated, it took Yu Zhiming a long time to draw a map of the injuries. In addition, Dai Hezhi's wife also needed surgery, and Dai Hezhi's post-operative recovery would take up to three to five months.
Yu Zhiming and the excited Dai Hezhi agreed to come back here in half a month to check on the injuries.
During this period, Dai Hezhi not only had to take care of his wife, but also had to properly arrange his work...
After seeing off the sunny Dai Hezhi and his wife, it was time for Yu Zhiming's lunch...
While having lunch with Zhou Mo, the two talked about the possibility that Dai Hezhi's wife's ovarian cyst would worsen in the future.
"Doctor Yu, you suggested that the woman's ovarian cyst be removed directly to solve the problem once and for all."
Zhou Mo took a sip of the kelp and pork rib soup and continued, "Isn't it said that Chinese medicine is best at nourishing the body, conditioning the body, and treating illness before it occurs? Let her try Chinese medicine treatment first?"
"If I just remove my left ovary like you suggest, wouldn't that cause a lot of damage to my body?"
Yu Zhiming raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Mo, then said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is good at nourishing and regulating the body. This is confirmed and recognized, and I have personal experience of it."
"As for whether Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) can prevent her ovarian cysts from developing into cancer in the future, I haven't seen any concrete examples from TCM."
Zhou Mo reminded: "Doctor Yu, she might be a good experimental subject?"
this……
That's true. Such an experimental subject is hard to come by.
Yu Zhiming thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. He instructed, "Zhou Mo, please contact Dai Hezhi and his wife this afternoon and ask them if they are willing to accept the experiment of traditional Chinese medicine treatment."
"If they wish, I can arrange for them to receive treatment from a renowned traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
Zhou Mo nodded in response, and then said happily: "If this experiment is a complete success, when you encounter patients with potential physical diseases in the future, you can ask them to seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment."
"Western medicine either cures everything or waits for the disease to flare up before treating it."
"How can it be as advanced as our Traditional Chinese Medicine? It can directly eliminate the possibility of future diseases."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly, then sighed softly, saying, "This idea of treating illness before it occurs sounds grand and magical, but in practice, there are huge problems and difficulties."
He met Zhou Mo's inquiring gaze and said slowly, "This future lesion is just a possibility. It cannot be seen or touched, and the patient does not feel any physical discomfort."
"The specific situation depends entirely on what the doctor says."
"so……"
Zhou Mo asked urgently: "So..."
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "A doctor like this can easily be mistaken for a swindler."
"It's thanks to my reputation that Dai Hezhi and his wife have trusted me. If I were a young, unknown doctor, they might have beaten me up."
"As for this issue of preventing illness, it all depends on the doctor's conscience and ethics, and there's no way to supervise it."
"What if one day, I turn evil?"
After a pause, Yu Zhiming sighed again, "Speaking of which, there have been many people who have used the name of traditional Chinese medicine to commit fraud or other illegal activities from ancient times to the present."
Zhou Mo nodded in understanding and said, "Indeed, this preventive treatment, without solid evidence, is prone to distrust and disputes."
"Especially when it comes to the high cost of treatment."
"People in today's society are no longer as honest as they used to be. People who try to extort money from others are popping up like mushrooms after rain."
Zhou Mo asked again, "Doctor Yu, um, should I contact Dai Hezhi and his wife this afternoon?"
Yu Zhiming smiled lightly and said, "Contact us."
"I need to confirm for myself that Chinese medicine does have this capability, so that I can have another option for treatment."
"Also, I've already reached a cooperation agreement with Master Ye. If we find another patient on the verge of kidney failure or something similar, we'll first hand him over to Master Ye for Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment to see if Traditional Chinese Medicine can help the patient avoid organ failure..."
