medical treatment

Yu Zhiming arrived at the Zhizhen Building of the hospital at about the same time as usual and met Dr. Luo Yu who was waiting in the big office.

Next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties who was a little overweight.

After a brief acquaintance, Yu Zhiming did not let the other party wait too long. After a little preparation, he began to examine Luo Yu's friend in the soundproof office.

"Your heart has indeed recovered very well. The ICD can be removed."

Yu Zhiming gave the results of the heart examination, but then continued: "There is a foreign body in your stomach. I suggest you do a gastroscopy."

"Foreign body? Could it be a stomach tumor?" Luo Yu's friend immediately became nervous.

Luo Yu quickly comforted her, "It's not a tumor. Foreign bodies in medicine refer to foreign objects."

"Think carefully about the past few days. Have you eaten anything indigestible or strange?"

Luo Yu's friend frowned and said, "They are just ordinary food. I'm not a kid who can stuff anything into my mouth."

Luo Yu said: "Doctor Yu's examination will not be wrong. You must have eaten something you shouldn't have."

"I'll clean my stomach from now on, and I should be able to do a gastroscopy before I get off work this afternoon..."

Friday is the regular physical examination day, and Yu Zhiming will first conduct physical examinations on 20 people from the donating units.

At about 9:30 in the morning, a man in his fifties who looked very stylish walked into the soundproof inspection room.

"Doctor Yu, I have been experiencing nausea several times a day recently, and the treatments I have tried have not worked."

Generally speaking, when you come to Yu Zhiming for a physical examination, you don't need to order any food, but you can specify if you are feeling unwell.

He will check from head to toe and will not miss any relatively obvious lesions in the body.

But to be on the safe side, Yu Zhiming would ask Zhou Mo or the young nurse who was maintaining order outside to remind those waiting in line for medical examinations.

If you have any discomfort symptoms that have been treated in other medical institutions without success, or the cause of the disease cannot be found, it is best to tell us.

After all, the effects of a general inspection on an assembly line and a careful inspection are slightly different.

Even Yu Zhiming, who has always been conscientious and responsible, cannot guarantee that he will not fall asleep or be careless during the repetitive and rapid inspections like those on an assembly line.

After listening to the other party's story, Yu Zhiming nodded, indicating that he understood, and pointed to the examination bed.

Seeing this, the stylish man didn't say anything more and lay down on the examination bed swiftly.

Yu Zhiming completed a physical examination on this person, which took him more than seven minutes, more than one minute longer than when he examined others.

The main thing was that Yu Zhiming found nothing more serious in this man except for the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems common in people of his age, as well as some minor gastrointestinal problems.

"When does your nausea usually appear?" Yu Zhiming asked.

There are so many different causes of nausea.

Nausea can occur due to diseases of the digestive tract, vestibule, nervous system, and systemic diseases.

Certain drugs, life stimulation, environmental stimulation, and psychological factors can also cause nausea.

Yu Zhiming couldn't find out what was causing the man to feel nauseous, so he needed to ask him some questions to narrow down the cause.

The stylish man said: "There is no fixed time. It can be before, during or after meals."

“On average, there are two or three attacks a day.”

After a pause, the stylish man added: "It has been going on for a month or two. Every time I have nausea, it lasts for three to five minutes, or even more than ten minutes before it subsides."

“It’s very uncomfortable.”

Hearing this, Yu Zhiming interrupted and said, "Well, don't go back yet, just stay in Zhizhen Building. When you feel sick again, come to me as soon as possible..."

After the stylish man left, Yu Zhiming continued his medical examination, but he did not return until lunch time. Throughout the morning, Yu Zhiming did not find any other interesting cases worth investigating except the stylish man.

He has already noticed that his desire to explore new things is becoming stronger and stronger.

This is not a very good mentality, because more than 99 percent of patients suffer from common and relatively common diseases.

For many of these diseases, the treatments are merely symptomatic relief and supportive care, and ultimately the disease is overcome by relying on the body's self-healing ability and resistance. So far, there is no specific medicine that can cure the disease.

The best example is one of the most common diseases in daily life, the cold.

However, this cold is the process of the human immune system fighting and adapting to the external environment and cold viruses. Frequent colds are a warning from the body's low immunity.

From this perspective, it may not be a good thing if a specific cold medicine that can cure the disease is really invented.

Yu Zhiming thought that perhaps he could try to develop specific treatments for some viral diseases and inflammatory diseases.

For example, pneumonia, vasculitis, etc.

If effective treatments for these diseases are found, millions of patients will benefit, which is much better than treating a few patients with difficult and complicated diseases.

However, Yu Zhiming is still in the learning and growth stage, and needs to accumulate experience and gain more knowledge.

He thought that after a few more years of accumulation and sedimentation, he would settle down and do some basic disease research...

During lunch, Yu Zhiming received a call from Gu Qingran, and was told that Feng Mo from the Fifth Municipal Hospital was willing to come to Ning'an to work.

"Feng Mo from City No. 5? Oh, in the trauma surgery department. I remember him, a pretty good guy."

Gu Qingran chuckled on the phone and said, "It is because he and you have had some experience together and you approve of him that Ning An was so sincere in inviting him."

"I originally thought that after he came to Ning'an, he would be placed in Huashan Trauma Surgery for training for a period of time. You should also give him more experience and opportunities to improve himself."

After a pause, Gu Qingran continued on the phone: "When Feng Mo contacted me this morning, he said that he was willing to give up some of the employment conditions given by Ning An, and only asked Zhiming for your help."

"What help?" Yu Zhiming asked.

Gu Qingran introduced on the phone: "An American patient said he has migratory pain in his body and has not received effective treatment. He would like to ask you to diagnose and treat him."

Yu Zhiming asked curiously, "How did he get involved with an American patient?"

"I asked, and the American patient was related to the director of his department, and it was the director who persuaded him to accept Ning An's invitation."

Gu Qingran explained, and then said sarcastically: "I guess, the department director is nominally doing this for Feng Mo's benefit and wants him to have a better development, but in reality it is probably for the benefit promised by the American patient."

"I think Feng Mo should also understand this."

Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "It's all about profit, it's normal."

"That's it. It's worth it to use this condition to exchange for a loyal Feng Mo..."

After lunch, Yu Zhiming just lay down on the sofa bed for a nap when Zhou Mo pushed the door open.

"Doctor Yu, the patient said he was having a nausea attack..."

Yu Zhiming quickly asked the man who was suffering from nausea to come into the office and examined him on a multifunctional examination chair.

After an examination, Yu Zhiming discovered that the man's intestines were twitching slightly.

This was different from normal intestinal peristalsis, but a very regular twitching. Although the amplitude was not large, Yu Zhiming could feel it clearly.

Regular twitching?!

This made Yu Zhiming think of a possibility, to have this stylish man undergo a brain and spinal cord electrical discharge test...
