Chapter 461: A Hundred Years of Laziness
"Doctor Han, I think it would be better for your nephew to study in China for two more years before going abroad."
In response to Dr. Han’s request, Yu Zhiming did what he said and directly contacted his nephew using Dr. Han’s mobile phone to conduct a remote video assessment.
He asked two questions in English.
What are the causes of fainting?
What are the imaging manifestations of different types of pneumonia?
To put it mildly, Dr. Han's nephew's English expression is unsatisfactory, and he even made several mistakes in medical terms.
As for the answers to the questions, not only are they halting, but there are also some omissions and errors.
Seeing how he answered basic medical questions, Yu Zhiming knew that this guy didn't go abroad to study medicine.
Yu Zhiming, knowing the other party's strength, did not continue asking. After all, he was uncomfortable and the other party was uncomfortable too.
After the call, he expressed his opinion to Dr. Han in a rather subtle way.
Han Shuo's expression was a little awkward.
It was just that his nephew's behavior was truly embarrassing, and facing the fussy Yu Zhiming, he didn't know what to say...
Gu Qingning's cousin and uncle Meng Yan submitted the list of candidates for physical examination. There are a total of six people who have made appointments for physical examination today.
This is private work.
Yu Zhiming didn't want to take up their working time, so he arranged them between 6 and 7 in the evening.
After 6:40 in the evening, when Yu Zhiming finished giving the five people a physical examination, he heard Zhou Mo arguing with someone outside the door.
"What's going on? No noise allowed in the hospital!" Yu Zhiming looked serious and tried his best to appear dignified.
Zhou Mo explained softly, "Doctor Yu, the person on the medical examination list sent by Boss Meng is Li Cannian."
"But they wanted to replace someone else to do the physical examination."
Yu Zhiming looked at the three people in front of him.
There were two men and one woman, all of them looked to be in their forties.
One of the men was obviously obese, and his belly looked like he was seven or eight months pregnant.
The other man was neither fat nor thin and had a good figure.
The woman, dressed rather delicately, smiled and explained, "Doctor Yu, we are all family."
"Li Cannian is my husband."
The woman pointed at the big-bellied man next to her and said, "This is my brother, my dear brother."
"Doctor Yu, as you can see, my brother is overweight. Our whole family is very worried about his health."
"Your opportunity to have a physical examination is very rare, so I thought I'd ask you to give my brother a thorough checkup."
The woman smiled and said, "Boss Meng gave us the opportunity to have the physical examination, so we have the right to decide who will do it, right?"
"Is that so, Doctor Yu?"
The woman added, "We're not taking advantage of you, Doctor Yu, by giving you one exam per person."
Yu Zhiming said in a deep voice: "The reason why we asked Boss Meng to provide the medical examination list instead of letting him send it out directly is because of the medical examination quota."
"It's to prevent the quota from being resold privately."
"Are you really a family?"
The woman heard the wiggle room in the tone and quickly said, "We are truly family. We will never lie to you, Doctor Yu."
"Hey, I have evidence."
The woman took out her cell phone from her bag.
"Last week, my mom had her birthday, and I took photos and videos of our family celebrating her birthday."
"Doctor Yu, please take a look..."
Yu Zhiming saw photos of the three people appearing together from time to time on the woman’s mobile phone.
After preliminarily confirming that they were a family, Yu Zhiming looked at Li Cannian, who was silent and had a flat head.
"The physical examination spot is yours, what do you say?"
Li Cannian cleared his throat, swallowed hard, and said with a forced smile, "Doctor Yu, this is my wife, and this is indeed my wife's younger brother."
"I willingly gave this medical examination opportunity to my wife's brother."
At this time, Zhou Mo, who was standing aside, suddenly noticed that Yu Zhiming's ears moved.
Zhou Mo knew that Dr. Yu's ears could move.
She also knew that every time Dr. Yu's ears moved, it meant he had made a discovery.
Zhou Mo followed Yu Zhiming's gaze to look at Li Cannian, and saw that the man swallowed again, and then his throat moved.
Li Cannian bowed slightly and said, "Please, Doctor Yu, be flexible."
Li Cannian's wife also continued, "Doctor Yu, please be flexible. We only examine one person at a time. We are not taking advantage of you at all."
Yu Zhiming kept his eyes fixed on Li Cannian and said slowly, "Since you are family, it is understandable that you give up the opportunity for the physical examination. I will not be unkind."
"But I suggest you don't give in."
After a pause, Yu Zhiming deliberately added: "I feel that you really need this physical examination."
Li Cannian was slightly startled and asked anxiously: "Doctor Yu, have you discovered anything?"
Yu Zhiming replied cautiously, "I have some suspicions, but I haven't inspected it myself, so I can't be sure."
After saying this, Yu Zhiming turned around and went back to the examination room, waiting for one of them to come in.
The next moment, he heard the woman's angry voice.
"Li Cannian, what are you doing? Didn't we agree to give the physical examination opportunity to my brother?"
Li Cannian's voice continued, "What did you agree on? You guys discussed it and gave me a notice."
"Are you deaf and didn't you hear what Doctor Yu just said? There must be something wrong with my body, and I need this examination even more."
The female voice came again, "Li Cannian, you have always been in good health. You haven't even had a cold all year round."
"It won't be a big deal this time. At worst, I'll take you to another department for a checkup."
"You don't know my brother's condition clearly. Not only does he have the three highs, but he also gets minor illnesses from time to time."
Li Cannian said coldly, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A hard-working man won't live long, but a lazy man will live a hundred years longer?'"
"In my situation, if there's a problem, it's a big problem. Do you want me to die young in middle age?"
"Ever since we got married, I've always given your family whatever benefits I could get. This time, I definitely won't give them up."
Yu Zhiming was quite interested and wanted to listen further, but he saw Li Cannian striding into the examination room.
"Doctor Yu, I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Yu Zhiming smiled faintly and gestured to the examination bed beside him.
After Li Cannian lay down, Yu Zhiming reached out and touched his throat.
As he expected, there was a big problem.
Esophageal cancer!
Fortunately, it is still in the early stages...
After seeing the three off, Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo also returned to the big office, packed up and prepared to go home after get off work.
"Doctor Yu, I've never heard the saying 'A hard-working man won't live long, but a lazy man will live a hundred years'.' But I have heard similar sayings."
As Zhou Mo cleaned up, he asked, "Does this saying have any medical basis?"
Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "Generally speaking, the possibility of being tough and long-lived is definitely greater than that of being lazy and timid."
"It's mainly because the sudden death of a tough old guy will have a big psychological impact on those around him, and he's more likely to be remembered."
“Those who live for a hundred years are few and far between, and they are easily remembered.”
Zhou Mo uttered a soft "oh" and said, "You mean, we've mistaken a particular phenomenon for a universal law?"
Yu Zhiming nodded and continued, "Of course, even if someone keeps complaining for a hundred years, given our current medical situation, it's not completely without basis."
He smiled and said, "My health is not good, so I go to the hospital frequently for treatment. It can detect and nip in the bud any signs of serious illness."
"And the old, hard-core guys tend to ignore the early signs or symptoms of serious illness."
"By the time my body can no longer bear it and I come to the hospital for a checkup, it's often already in the late stages of the disease."
Zhou Mo raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Doctor Yu, your explanation sounds very reasonable."
Yu Zhiming laughed and said, "That makes perfect sense. That's the truth. With our current medical level, many cancers can be cured in the early stages."
"Many people simply let small problems grow into big problems, and eventually into incurable diseases."
Zhou Mo sighed: "Isn't this just forced by life?"
"If seeing a doctor is easy and not expensive at all, most people will be willing to come to the hospital for both major and minor illnesses."
"Even come to the hospital for a physical checkup once a month."
"The problem is that a visit to the hospital to treat a cold or fever, and a full checkup, will cost at least a thousand yuan."
Yu Zhiming knew that what Zhou Mo complained about was true.
It’s just that there are too many people in China, and medical resources are relatively limited, which cannot meet the medical needs of so many people.
Only some adjustments can be made through the market.
Yu Zhiming whispered, "Zhou Mo, do you know how many times a person sees a doctor in a year in Germany, where medical resources are abundant and medical insurance is sound?"
"How many times?" Zhou Mo asked back.
Yu Zhiming said: "According to statistics from the German Medical Association, each German visits a doctor an average of 19 times a year."
"In our country, the number is around six times."
"With the further development of my country's medical industry, more and more people will be able to see a doctor and afford medical treatment..."
While he was talking, Yu Zhiming had already tidied up his desk and changed his clothes.
He looked at the time and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
"Let's go! See you tomorrow!"
"Hey, Doctor Yu..."
Zhou Mo stopped Yu Zhiming and asked, "Isn't Doctor Xiang going to your house tonight for a physical examination?"
"Do you need an assistant like me to assist you?"
Yu Zhiming hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, it's just a simple physical examination, there's no need for you to make a special trip."
Seeing the guy's disappointed expression, Yu Zhiming came to his senses and asked directly, "You're not thinking of coming to my house to eat and drink for free, are you?"
Zhou Mo smiled and said, "Oh, Doctor Yu, you discovered it."
"During this period, my mother didn't come home for dinner because she had a lot of work to do, so my aunt went home in the afternoon."
"When I get home, I can only cook noodles for myself. It's so pitiful."
Yu Zhiming ignored the guy's pretense of being pitiful, rolled his eyes, and said without a trace of tact: "You're just too lazy. Why don't you just learn to do it yourself?"
"Or we can eat outside."
"You'd better not come to my house for free meals. You always lead my Qing Ning to drink, and this is not okay..."
