Chapter 523: Willing but Powerless
Gu Changyan's sanatorium is located in the southern coastal mountainous area, which is known as a natural oxygen bar and has beautiful mountains and rivers.
It took Yu Zhiming more than two hours to drive there.
In order to get to the sanatorium and start work as early as possible, Yu Zhiming got up at six in the morning as usual.
After a busy day and eating a big bowl of dumplings, Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning left the rental house first.
Because Yu Xiangwan still had some canteen matters to take care of, she and Zhang Bai would rush to the nursing home before lunch.
Yu Zhiming pulled a suitcase and walked to the gate of the community hand in hand with Qing Ning. They happened to see a Beetle car driving into the community.
Yu Zhiming recognized this Beetle.
The beautiful frozen lady's car.
A week passed, and the lady didn't come to the hospital to see him.
Yu Zhiming let the matter go.
Whether it was due to pathological factors that made her insensitive to cold and heat, or her personal resistance to cold, since she had made her choice, Yu Zhiming would not force her.
Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning walked to the parking lot in front of the mall and saw Zhou Mo, carrying a bulging backpack, waiting next to the RV.
Zhou Mo and Qing Ning sat in the driver's seat and the co-pilot seat respectively, while Yu Zhiming sat alone in the back.
The main reason is that the back is piled with bedding, pillows and other bedding, plus suitcases and backpacks, so the space is so small that only one person can sit.
Yu Zhiming manually lowered the three-layer glass soundproof window on the partition, allowing him to communicate with the people in the cab.
After the car drove onto the overpass, Zhou Mo, who was driving, told Yu Zhiming something.
"Doctor Yu, a post started circulating in the work group and medical circles last night."
"The post is titled: A security guard records a day's work for Dr. Yu Zhiming."
Yu Zhiming was slightly startled and asked, "What did one of the two security guards write yesterday? What did it say?"
Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "It's just a straightforward account, a true record of what you did yesterday."
“For example, between 8:07 and 8:28 in the morning, rapid examinations were conducted on 34 patients at the center.”
"At 8:39 in the morning, outpatient work begins."
After a pause, Zhou Mo chuckled again and said, "This guy wrote until 11:05. You went to the bathroom to pee, and walked quickly there and back. It took nearly three minutes."
"He also wrote that during his 17-minute lunch, 11 minutes were spent on the phone with another doctor discussing a patient's surgical plan."
Zhou Mo sighed again, "He also made a summary at the end. He arrived at the hospital at 8 o'clock in the morning and left at 7:20 in the evening."
"During these eleven hours, apart from the 17 minutes I spent at noon discussing the surgical plan over the phone while eating, and the 20-minute nap at noon, the rest of the time I was either seeing patients or on the way to see patients."
"In these eleven hours, you diagnosed fifty people in the clinic and screened another fifty for cancer back at the center."
"We also conducted a quick check on the 34 inpatients at the center in the morning, and detailed checks on 18 of them in the evening."
Zhou Mo paused deliberately and said, "He finally lamented that being a doctor is really hard."
"He also said that just following you like this for a whole day makes him feel extremely tired."
"But Dr. Yu, you're not only busy all the time, you also have to think. Your workload is definitely several times greater than his."
Gu Qingning said with moist eyes: "Zhiming, I just heard it once, and I feel that you are so tired and hard-working."
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It happens to be a clinic, and it's right before the holiday, so naturally I'm a little more tired than usual."
He added: "Most young doctors work like this. Working twelve or thirteen hours a day is the norm."
"When it's busy, I sometimes work consecutive night shifts."
Zhou Mo said slowly, "But Dr. Yu, your status today has completely freed you from the category of young doctors."
"You can arrange your work schedule leisurely like a chief physician or even a senior expert, and spend more time on learning and improvement."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "Zhou Mo, you've been working in the hospital for two or three years and you still don't know?"
“A doctor’s job is to learn.”
"In the hospital, the more patients you come into contact with, the more experience you accumulate and the faster you improve."
"Young doctors in the hospital are not afraid of being busy, but they are afraid of being idle and doing repetitive, low-value work."
Zhou Mo explained: "I am aware of this, of course. But I still feel that you are a little overloaded."
"Many people in the group said that since you have such a great talent for medicine and work so hard, it would be unfair if you didn't succeed."
Yu Zhiming smiled faintly.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Mo suddenly said, "Doctor Yu, Qing Ning, the promotional video on the hospital website has been updated to the latest one."
"Have you seen it?"
Zhou Mo praised again: "Doctor Yu, you filmed it very well. I personally think it is the best promotional video the hospital has produced in recent years."
Neither Yu Zhiming nor Qing Ning responded to her. They were busy opening the hospital's official website on their mobile phones.
Yu Zhiming opened the hospital website and saw a small floating window, so he clicked it.
The small floating window expanded, occupying most of the phone screen, and automatically played the promotional video shot by Yu Zhiming, Ding Ye and others.
Yu Zhiming was very satisfied after watching the nearly four-minute promotional video that comprehensively introduced the philosophy and strength of Huashan Hospital.
In the promotional video, he is very sunny and handsome, even better than those young traffic stars who rely on their looks to make a living.
Yu Zhiming boasted, "I'm still quite photogenic!"
Gu Qingning snorted, "It's mainly because you're thin. Thin people look good in photos."
"Plus, it's been beautified, so it naturally looks much better than you in person."
Gu Qingning said sourly, "Dr. Ding is also very beautiful. She looks quite a good match for you in the promotional video."
"Zhiming, what do you think?"
Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "Don't overthink it, we are just ordinary friends."
Gu Qingning concealed his chuckle.
The next moment, she changed the subject and said, "Momo, has Director Qi's second son made any new moves?"
Zhou Mo replied softly, "It's been three years since he last returned to China. He's been busy partying with his friends these days."
"He also said that when the director comes back, he'll invite all his friends and family to have a good gathering."
Gu Qingning asked again: "Not going abroad anymore?"
Weekend nodded and said, "Probably."
"I've already graduated from graduate school abroad with a master's degree in economics. Besides, the director's connections are all in China."
"His development in China will definitely be much smoother than his personal struggle abroad."
Gu Qingning suddenly asked, "Momo, do you really have no feelings for that guy at all?"
Zhou Mo was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I used to have some fantasies about him."
"It's just that after a few years apart, that fantasy is long gone."
"I also discovered that he was no longer the same person he used to be. He was not only self-righteous and impetuous, but he also lost his former sincerity."
Zhou Mo said slowly, "I think the director will regret sending him to study abroad one day."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "Universities abroad are in chaos these days. There's equal rights, anti-discrimination, transgenderism, and so on. There's also the rampant spread of drugs, and the schools don't dare to discipline the students."
"Many international students are either bullied or forced to join them and become one of them."
Gu Qingning then said, "Our Gu family strongly recommends that all children of the Gu family study in China from elementary school to university."
"After graduating from university, I will go abroad for further studies."
"Because by then, you already have strong enough resistance and self-control, and you won't be easily led astray."
Zhou Mo agreed: "This is a proper and prudent approach."
As the three of them chatted casually, time flew by and the stretcher drove out of the city.
At 8:30 in the morning, Yu Zhiming suddenly received a call from Teacher Qi Yue.
"Zhiming, are you looking for valuable chess pieces or ancient chess manuals?"
Yu Zhiming hummed, and then explained, "We're going to visit Qing Ning's family. Her parents like to collect these."
"I just wanted to cater to his needs and prepare a gift."
Qi Yue chuckled on the phone and said, "It's my first visit, so I should really pay more attention to it."
After a few seconds of pause, Qi Yue's voice sounded again, "I asked a few people and found a chess set for you."
"They say it's made of red sandalwood, and it was made by a famous chess master from the Qing Dynasty."
Yu Zhiming would never think that he had too many items like this.
In addition to the first visit, there are also matters such as engagement and marriage. It is better to prepare more, as it will always be useful.
He said with a lively tone: "Teacher, thank you for taking the trouble to follow me."
"Teacher, what is the other party's request?"
Qi Yue smiled and replied, "The other party's request is to give them and their family a physical examination."
"No problem!" Yu Zhiming agreed readily.
The next moment, Qi Yue's voice came from the phone again.
"Zhiming, I arrived in the capital yesterday morning with my son and daughter-in-law."
"Last night, I had dinner with old classmates, old friends, and some colleagues in Beijing."
"One of them was a surgical expert from Tiantan Hospital. He said I felt a slight discomfort in my heart, but after doing some heart tests, they couldn't find any problems."
"I asked him to use a highly sensitive sound recording device to record his own heartbeat."
"He sent the sound file over a while ago."
"Zhiming, please help listen and see if you can find out what the problem is."
"Okay, teacher, please send the sound file over."
Yu Zhiming agreed and said to Zhou Mo who was driving, "Find a quiet place and stop the car!"
Ten minutes later, the stretcher stopped on a secluded cement road away from the main road.
In order not to disturb Yu Zhiming, Gu Qingning and Zhou Mo also got out of the car and moved five or six meters away.
Yu Zhiming in the car closed his eyes slightly and sat motionless in the seat like an old monk in meditation.
The sound of my heartbeat is lingering in my ears.
“Knock, knock…”
“Knock, knock… knock, knock…”
With each heartbeat, Yu Zhiming "saw" a heart, vividly emerging.
As the heart expanded and contracted again and again, the strong myocardium gradually became transparent, revealing the coronary blood vessels.
Not only that, the bright red blood in the atria and ventricles flowing in and out in waves was extremely clear.
After a while, Yu Zhiming's "eyes" focused on the right ventricle.
The reason was that the contraction of the right ventricle gave him a feeling of powerlessness and breathlessness...
