Yu Zhiming withdrew his hand from the middle-aged man's neck, not knowing what to say for a moment.
It was originally thought that the discovery of the abnormal premature change in voice meant that the middle-aged man's condition might have some improvement.
It is not impossible that ALS is a misdiagnosis.
Unexpectedly, the test results made the situation even worse. It was like a house leaking and it rained all night...
"Doctor Yu, your expression is frighteningly serious. Has my condition worsened?"
The middle-aged man's question made Yu Zhiming realize that he was overwhelmed by his emotions again.
He met the middle-aged man's anxious gaze and told him frankly, "The change in your voice is not caused by ALS, but by cancer in your throat."
Seeing the middle-aged man standing there in shock, Yu Zhiming was at a loss for words to comfort him and could only leave...
As Yu Zhiming walked several dozen meters away from the middle-aged couple, Luo Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is the cancer more serious?"
Yu Zhiming whispered, "It's likely that the voice change and foreign body sensation when swallowing were mistakenly attributed to ALS, leading to neglect of examination. It's a bit too late to do surgery now. It's better to have conservative treatment and live a better quality of life."
Luo Yu sighed and said, "It would be great if your ability could be promoted more widely. Most people's serious illnesses could be discovered when they are about to develop."
Qing Ning continued, "If that happens, Zhiming will become a thorn in the side of the Medical and Pharmaceutical Group."
Luo Yu pondered and said, "Indeed, the medical and pharmaceutical industry supports too many people."
"The hospital is eager to have more patients."
He couldn't help but sigh, "I wish that people in the world were free of illness. I'd rather let the medicine sit on the shelf and collect dust. I guess few doctors think that way."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "It's a market economy now, everything is profit-oriented."
Luo Yu looked at Yu Zhiming and said slowly, "From publishing a monograph on distinguishing heart and lung sounds, to providing on-site first aid training and mentoring surgeons, I suddenly realized, Dr. Yu, that you've been doing your best to teach others your skills."
At this point, he cupped his fist towards Yu Zhiming and said, "Doctor Yu, I deeply admire your selflessness."
Yu Zhiming waved his hand and said, "Doctor Luo, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that. I don't think what you said is a big deal."
Luo Yu said solemnly, "Doctor Yu, you may not think it's a big deal, but there will be millions of patients who will benefit from this in the future."
At this moment, Luo Yu's cell phone rang.
He took out his cell phone and told Yu Zhiming, "It's my daughter's number," then took two steps away to answer the call.
"Dad, my math teacher came to me and said that one of his good friends' father needs liver cyst surgery, and he wants you to arrange for a liver surgery specialist..."
After hearing this, Yu Zhiming stopped paying attention and started to appreciate the scenery on both sides of the road with Qingning.
But the next moment, he suddenly reached out and pulled Qing Ning.
Qing Ning was caught off guard and staggered. Then she saw a pool of white-green bird droppings where she had been standing.
"You can hear this too?" Qing Ning was a little unbelievable.
Yu Zhiming explained: "The sounds I hear are numerous and diverse: the wind, the chirping of insects, the singing of birds, the rustling of leaves. However, I regard these sounds as the background sounds of the natural environment and do not attract my special attention."
"But the sound of the falling bird droppings was different from other sounds. It immediately caught my attention, and I pulled you out reflexively."
Qing Ning said "oh" as if she understood something.
Yu Zhiming went on to explain, "Qingning, do you know how to detect danger when working in a factory workshop?"
"Rely on what?" Qing Ning asked.
Yu Zhiming pinched Qing Ning's earlobe and said, "It mainly depends on hearing. Workers' vision is limited, and they need to focus on the task at hand. But their ears can collect sounds from a 360-degree angle without blind spots."
"Even if the factory floor is noisy, if an unusual sound suddenly occurs, the hearing system will detect it, telling the body that something is wrong, and then take action."
Qing Ning chuckled and said, "Now that you put it that way, I understand. My hearing is more sensitive to unusual sounds."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's almost like that. It's like when I'm doing a body scan, the echo that's different from the healthy sound can attract my attention more."
At this time, Luo Yu, who had finished his phone call, quickly caught up.
"Alas, many teachers in schools nowadays take it for granted that they are being rude and asking parents for help."
Luo Yu complained, then added, "When your children go to school, they will definitely receive endless requests from teachers."
Yu Zhiming snorted softly, "I won't spoil them."
Luo Yu chuckled and said, "You can say whatever you want now, but when you really have children going to school, you will have a lot of concerns..."
The three of them chatted while climbing the mountain and enjoying the scenery. They returned to the valley more than an hour later.
Yu Zhiming, Qing Ning and Luo Yu separated and returned to the two-story building where they were staying. They found that Mr. Dian was waiting in the living room.
This old man, Mr. Dai, is the old man who played chess with Yu Zhiming by the lake last Friday afternoon.
In the past two days, he came to play chess with Yu Zhiming every afternoon.
Mr. Dai is quite sensible. He just plays a game of chess with Yu Zhiming every day, which doesn't take up too much of his time.
Seeing that Old Man Dai didn't set up the chess pieces this time, Yu Zhiming asked, "Not playing chess today?"
Mr. Dai said depressedly: "I won't play anymore. I can't win all the time. I feel very frustrated. There is no point in playing chess with you."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Old man, you are a soldier. You have to keep fighting despite repeated failures. You must not be discouraged."
Old Master Dai snorted and said, "I don't have a habit of looking for trouble. Wait until I go back and study with a few chess masters. When my level is improved, I will come back to defeat you."
"Are you leaving here?" Yu Zhiming realized something.
Mr. Dai nodded and said, "There are some things I need to go back and take care of. I will leave after lunch."
After a pause, he continued, "Doctor Yu, I know you have amazing medical skills. I would like to ask you for a favor in a personal capacity."
"Please speak, old man." Yu Zhiming did not refuse.
Old Master Dai sighed and said, "I have a son who researches armored vehicles. Nine years ago, he was in an accident and his legs were crushed by an armored vehicle."
He gestured to his knees and said, "I was hit by a dozens-ton armored vehicle, which shattered both legs. Both knee joints were severely injured. Despite all my medical efforts, my legs are still crippled and I've been confined to a wheelchair."
Yu Zhiming interrupted and asked, "Can you feel anything below your knees?"
Mr. Dai replied, "Not only am I still feeling pain, but I also have constant leg pain. I have to take painkillers every day to suppress it."
"Doctor Yu, can you?"
Yu Zhiming responded readily, "I will be back to work at the hospital next Monday. Just ask your son to come to the hospital and see me next week. I'll give him a checkup first."
Mr. Dai thanked him and continued, "I've learned a lot about you in the past two or three days."
"Doctor Yu, you are great. Being a doctor is indeed more suitable for you than being a commander."
Yu Zhiming smiled gently.
Mr. Dai stood up from the sofa and said, "Be humble and cautious. I hope to see you make more medical achievements."
Yu Zhiming said politely: "I will keep working hard..."
After seeing Mr. Dai off, Yu Zhiming washed up and it was time for lunch.
The staff brought the food over...
Qing Ning and Yu Zhiming ate a lot before pouting, "You say you're here for vacation, but you're still working. Next time we have a vacation, we'll drive a big RV to a deserted place."
Yu Zhiming said, "I think this is good. It's a good way to change up my work occasionally. It would be boring to just sit around all day, looking at the scenery, eating and sleeping."
Qing Ning picked up a piece of food for him with her chopsticks and said, "Work is work, and rest is rest. I think foreigners are good at this. They make a clear distinction."
Yu Zhiming also picked up a piece of Qing Ning's favorite food with his chopsticks and said, "The national conditions are different. Our country is a society based on personal relationships. Many people spend their free time trying to connect with others, which makes them even busier."
He suddenly realized something and said, "From now on, I will try my best to spend some quality time with you once a week."
Qing Ning said with a beaming expression, "That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that you'll be too tied up in work during your break and won't be able to relax and unwind."
At this time, Yu Zhiming's cell phone rang.
It was Yu Xiangwan calling.
"Old Five, have you had lunch yet?"
Yu Zhiming replied directly: "I'm eating now, Fourth Sister. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Yu Xiangwan explained over the phone, "For both houses, the owners directly gave a quote slightly lower than the market price."
She added: "One unit is priced at 2700 and the other at 2400, both about two million below the market price."
"Old Five, what do you think?"
Yu Zhiming uttered an "oh" and said, "A profit of two million is not too outrageous. I can accept this."
"Fourth sister, if there are no other questions, just sign the agreement. I will transfer the payment to the other party after I return."
Yu Xiangwan continued, "Old Fifth, during this morning's discussion, the two landlords didn't put forward any clear conditions. They simply said they admired your kindness and compassion, and were willing to give us the concessions."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "They should be looking to the future, just in case."
"Fourth sister, please sign."
Yu Xiangwan's grinning voice came from the phone, "Old Five, let's sign the agreement then."
She chuckled again, "Old Five, I think it's particularly appropriate to use one word to describe us now."
"What word?" Yu Zhiming asked.
Yu Xiangwan smiled and said, "It's like when one person succeeds, everyone else benefits. The life we're living now is something I never dreamed of. You've infinitely raised the bar for our lives and the ceiling for our development."
Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "Fourth sister, that word is inappropriate. We are a family. We share hardships together, so we should also share happiness together."
At this moment, Yu Zhiming heard the voice of his eldest sister Yu Zhaoxia on the phone, "Fourth brother, hurry up and get down to business."
Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiangwan's voice came from the phone, "Old Five, I received a court notice for a trial involving a narcolepsy device that caused death."
"The trial will begin next week, and I'll ask you to testify..."
