Chapter 208: Cutting the Dividing Line
Seventeen or eighteen minutes after calling the police, Yu Zhiming received a call from Jin Feng, deputy director of the local police station.
Yu Zhiming was told that his worries were correct and an accident had indeed happened in the family that called the police.
After the police entered, they found that a young mother had fallen in the kitchen and fell into a coma.
There was an oil bottle and spilled oil on the kitchen floor. The young mother must have slipped and fallen, and the impact caused her to fall into a coma.
Fortunately, no skull fracture or open trauma was found on the young mother's body.
However, the broth from the pork ribs stewing on the gas stove was almost burnt away.
The young mother and her crying child were being taken to the hospital.
After hearing Jin Feng's general situation report, Yu Zhiming felt relieved.
His call to the police was timely.
Apart from anything else, if the ribs on the stove are stewed and burnt, a lot of thick smoke will inevitably be produced.
Inhaling a large amount of smoke while in a coma can cause serious damage to the respiratory system and even pose a significant risk of death.
Yu Zhiming did not forget to remind Jin Feng that if anyone asked, he should not reveal his identity.
Let's say a caring neighbor heard a child crying and called the police anonymously...
A little after 9:30 in the evening, Yu Zhiming was reading and studying in his bedroom when he received a call from his elder sister.
"Old Five, Old Four's boyfriend is an orphan?"
Yu Zhiming didn't expect his eldest sister to ask this right away. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I heard that guy say that his father abandoned them when he was a child. I didn't hear that his father died."
"Big sister, this is perfect. After Fourth Sister marries that guy, we can live our own life together."
Yu Zhaoxia said worriedly during the call, "Lao Wu, some children from single-parent families have significant personality problems."
"I'm just worried that the fourth child has lost her mind for a moment and only sees the advantages but not the disadvantages."
Yu Zhiming pondered and said, "Sister, that guy is of decent height and looks, of the right age, and graduated from a prestigious university. I have a pretty good impression of his behavior."
Yu Zhaoxia said bluntly: "Old Five, you are still young. You are far from being able to judge people."
Yu Zhiming muttered to himself, he is already 26 and still young?
"Sister, Fourth Sister and that guy aren't going to get married right away. You and your parents have time and the opportunity to carefully examine that guy."
Yu Zhaoxia hummed and said, "That guy has to observe mourning for a while. Not to mention three years, at least one year is necessary."
"Hey, Lao Wu, make sure you keep a closer eye on Lao Si and don't let her do anything impulsive."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Big sister, you and mom and dad can rest assured. I will take good care of Fourth Sister."
After a pause, he asked again, "Big sister, have your second sister and brother-in-law come to see our parents again?"
"No! I got scolded by my dad last time, so I guess I won't be coming in the near future."
"Our father even warned them not to bother you with this matter again."
Yu Zhaoxia sighed again and said, "Before, we took care of you, the little one, but now it's you who takes care of us."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Now that I'm grown up and have some abilities, it's only right that I contribute more."
He then said in a boastful tone, "Sister, sister, guess how much salary I can get next month?"
"Will it be over 200,000?"
Yu Zhaoxia guessed a number and continued, "Old Four told me that you're now the head of a very large and important medical research project, and you're much busier than before."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Big sister, it hasn't become much busier. It's still within my tolerance."
"Sister, sister, this month, I helped two rich people solve their big problems."
"So, this month's income has become much better. When next month's salary is paid, I should have one million."
"One million? So much!" Yu Chaoxia's voice on the phone more than doubled in volume.
Yu Zhiming said somewhat proudly, "Sister, my monthly income in the future will be at least 100,000 or 200,000. If I am occasionally invited by wealthy families to see patients, my income will be even higher."
"Sister, you and your parents, don't think about saving money. Eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want."
"We're not short of money anymore, hehe."
Yu Zhaoxia said with a smile, "Old Fifth, you know that my parents and I haven't been bad at eating and drinking in the past few years. We've had chicken, duck, fish and meat all the time."
"Old Five, even though you earn more, you still need to save money to buy a house in Binhai, so you don't need to send more money."
"Xiao Bo also sends me money every month. Last month he sent me two thousand. Your third sister also often sends gifts to mom and dad."
"The family is not short of money at all."
"Now, people in the village are very envious of our parents. They say that you have made great achievements and your daughters are filial to you."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said proudly, "Sister, they will envy us even more in the future."
"Xiaobo and Fourth Sister's businesses will both flourish. By then, you and your parents will all move to Binhai."
Yu Zhaoxia smiled and said, "Our lives are getting better and better, I believe it. If we move to Binhai, we won't have to do that."
"There's land and a river at home, and the air is good. I think it's much better than living in the city."
Yu Zhaoxia then asked, "Lao Wu, you are busy working every day now, do you still have time to study?"
Yu Zhiming explained: "Sister, doctors' daily treatment and rescue of patients is not only a way to accumulate experience, but also a way to learn."
"Following Teacher Qi on his ward rounds every day, checking on different patients and treatment plans, is also a form of learning."
"Teacher Qi also gave me a list of books and asked me to find time to read them every day and finish them within six months."
"In addition to being able to consult Teacher Qi anytime and anywhere, I can also consult the hospital's academicians and many medical experts."
"Sister, compared to the county hospital, I have many more opportunities to learn here. I feel like I'm making significant progress every day..."
On Wednesday morning, near lunchtime, Yu Zhiming received an apology and thanks from the American Dr. Kant.
Well, it was just a literal apology and thanks, verbal, and he didn't even bring a bouquet of flowers.
However, when Yu Zhiming saw that Dr. Kant had dark circles under his eyes and was in a bad mood, he knew that he was hit hard by pancreatic cancer, so he did not take his heartfelt thanks to heart.
The other two Americans who came with Dr. Kant wanted Yu Zhiming to examine them as well.
But they didn't say it explicitly, so Yu Zhiming pretended not to understand their implication.
Isn’t it said that foreigners are straightforward?
Since he was acting out of character and was scheming, he wanted Yu Zhiming to take the initiative to ask for a physical examination.
How could Yu Zhiming do what they wanted?
He was a little surprised that Qiu Yi didn't come with them...
Thursday came in a blink of an eye. Yu Zhiming, who had reported to Teacher Qi Yue, rushed to the general surgery department early in the morning and prepared for the operation with Dr. Cui Zhitan.
This was a mid-stage gastric cancer resection surgery, and the patient was a 46-year-old man.
As the first surgical assistant, Yu Zhiming was deeply involved and assisted Dr. Cui in completing this operation.
The preoperative preparations and the laparotomy during the operation were all carried out smoothly and step by step...
Just as Dr. Cui was holding a scalpel and preparing to remove part of the stomach tumor, Yu Zhiming suddenly spoke.
"Teacher Cui, how do you determine the dividing line for the part of the stomach that needs to be removed?"
Dr. Cui paused the operation and explained, "It depends mainly on the size and location of the tumor, the extent of the tumor's infiltration area and the cancerous area. We also need to consider many factors, such as the difficulty of the operation, the function of the remaining part of the stomach, and postoperative recovery."
"For example, specifically regarding this stomach..."
While Dr. Cui patiently explained the procedure to Yu Zhiming, he used a special medical symbol pen to mark the part of the stomach that needed to be removed.
When Yu Zhiming looked at the marked area, he realized that nearly two-thirds of the stomach had to be removed.
He was eager to try, "Doctor Cui, can you let me mark an area for resection based on the feel of your hand?"
Doctor Cui was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "Aha! How could I have forgotten? Doctor Yu, you are countless times better than us at detecting organ cancers."
"It will definitely be more accurate if you mark the resection area."
"Doctor Yu, come, try it..."
After getting permission, Yu Zhiming reached out and held the patient's stomach in his hands without any hesitation.
He used his hands alternately to gently massage the patient's stomach for two or three minutes, then reached out and picked up the marking pen.
It only took Yu Zhiming a dozen seconds to mark another resection line on the patient's stomach.
This new dividing line overlaps with the dividing line marked by Dr. Cui, except for a very small part that overlaps and a part that crosses over, most of it is within the range of the original dividing line.
If gastrectomy is performed according to Yu Zhiming's dividing line, it is equivalent to removing nearly half of the patient's stomach.
For patients, the difference after surgery between leaving half of the stomach or leaving one-third of the stomach is quite large.
Leaving half of the stomach empty can basically meet the digestive needs of an adult.
After recovering from the surgery, his daily diet will not be much different from that of a person with a healthy stomach.
Yu Zhiming put down his marker pen, met Dr. Cui's gaze, and explained, "Dr. Cui, for this line, I only considered the tumor area, the infiltration area, and the cancerous area."
“I didn’t consider other influencing factors.”
Dr. Cui said with joy, "The primary and most important purpose of surgery is to completely remove the tumor and delay the recurrence of the cancer as much as possible."
"Doctor Yu, this line of yours is worth a ton of money."
He stared at the dividing line marked by Yu Zhiming, thought for a few minutes, and picked up the scalpel again...
Yu Zhiming was delighted to discover that Dr. Cui basically performed the resection based on the dividing line he had marked.
The stomach that Dr. Cui left behind for the patient was about half its original size...
