medical treatment

After finishing the phone calls with Duan Yi, Zhou Mo and others, Yu Zhiming first arranged for a nurse to take the five pregnant women who were pregnant with children of the Lu family to do a general physical examination.

Seeing that the twin brothers introduced by Luo Yu had not arrived yet, Yu Zhiming took Zeng Yan to the soundproof office to wait.

"Uncle, uncle..."

Zeng Yan said with a lively tone: "When I saw Boss Lu crying with excitement because he saw the problem could be solved, I felt the same way."

"Uncle, do you feel a sense of accomplishment as well?"

Yu Zhiming smiled gently and said, "I feel a sense of accomplishment, but the Lu family has a genetic disease caused by gene mutation. It is basically impossible to treat the root cause with current medical technology."

Zeng Yan said, "If we can't cure the root cause, then we can cure the symptoms. We have to make sure that the twins turned into a single and eventually became mentally retarded. If we find that the child is in this situation in the future, should we terminate the pregnancy directly?"

Yu Zhiming nodded and said, "This is the simplest and most brutal way to treat the symptoms. No more stupid children will be born."

After a pause, he continued, "I hope that Dr. Liu Yun can find out the abnormal nodes in fetal development through dynamic tracking and in-depth research during fetal development to see if they can be reversed through surgery or other means."

"In that case, there would be no need to end the pregnancy."

Zeng Yan said with a smile: "No matter what, the abnormality you discovered today has already determined a temporary solution for the Lu family, so that they will no longer have stupid children."

Yu Zhiming replied cautiously: "This is just our speculation. Whether the twin fetus will eventually develop into a single fetus requires verification by facts."

Zeng Yan said "oh", blinked her eyes, and asked, "Uncle, I don't quite understand..."

"Boss Lu is not short of money. I heard that he had undergone medical examinations at famous hospitals at home and abroad. Then how come the abnormality of twins turning into a single fetus was not discovered before?"

Yu Zhiming smiled gently and asked, "Zeng Yan, do you know how to determine whether a baby is single or twin?"

Zeng Yan shook her head and said, "Uncle, I haven't learned it yet."

Yu Zhiming likes to teach others: "In medicine, to determine whether twins are born, we need to see whether both have embryos and fetal heartbeats. Only when both have embryos and fetal heartbeats, can they be considered true twins."

"This fetal heart rate refers to the primitive heart tube beat. Generally, we can use modern medical methods to detect the existence of the fetal heart rate after six or seven weeks of pregnancy."

"The change from Lu's wife's twins to a single baby occurred between two and five weeks of pregnancy."

Zeng Yan suddenly realized, "In the final analysis, it is still your unparalleled ability to see the big picture from the small details."

"You can easily detect this mutation, but it is very, very difficult for other doctors to detect it."

Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "We were also lucky. The wife of the Lu family happened to be pregnant with twins."

Zeng Yan said with a smile: "Don't many people say that luck is also a kind of strength?"

She said with some gloating: "If the Jingcheng Chu family knew that the Lu family had a genetic dementia disease, and that my uncle had found the abnormality so easily, and had a symptomatic solution, would they regret it?"

Yu Zhiming chuckled and said, "You are underestimating the Chu family. As a medical family, they have not been able to find a solution for hundreds of years. I probably can't find a solution either."

Zeng Yan chuckled and said, "That's hard to say. Often the problem is there. Maybe it's just a thin layer of window paper. But their arms are one centimeter short and they just can't reach it. But for you, my uncle, it's just a matter of poking it with your hand."

Yu Zhiming said happily: "It would be great if things were as simple as you said..."

More than ten minutes later, the two people who were chatting casually were interrupted by Zhang Hai who knocked on the door.

"Doctor Yu, there's a beautiful lady named Huang Li outside. She said she's Ji Minqiang's assistant and wants to see you."

"Ji Minqiang?"

Yu Zhiming just frowned, he had no impression of this name. Zhang Hai then introduced: "This Ms. Huang Li said that her boss Ji Minqiang and his twin brother are on their way and have made an appointment with you to come here for a physical examination."

After hearing this, Yu Zhiming understood.

It turned out that they were the twin brothers who wanted a heart transplant introduced by Dr. Luo Yu.

Yu Zhiming has come into contact with so many patients that he is not very interested in their names. He is more accustomed to labeling patients with disease names, familiar people or typical characteristics.

In comparison, the male patient with liver cyst, the patient introduced by Dr. Luo Yu, has protruding ears and a round face.

Labeling patients in this way makes it easier for Yu Zhiming to remember and avoid confusion.

As for remembering the patients' names, Yu Zhiming was too lazy to waste his brain cells unless they had long contact time and many times.

Yu Zhiming looked at Zhang Hai in confusion and said, "The patient hasn't arrived yet, but an assistant came to see me first? For something like a physical examination, do you still need an assistant to come ahead?"

Zhang Hai lowered his voice and said, "Doctor Yu, she is not here to scout ahead, she is here to give a gift."

He gestured with his hand and continued, "She brought a small box containing ten kilograms of gold bars."

Zeng Yan exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help asking, "It's just a physical examination, and my uncle won't be treated. I shouldn't have to pay him so much for the examination, right?"

However, Yu Zhiming understood the other party's intention of giving him the gold bars.

"This heart transplant operation may involve exchanging one life for another, and requires approval from the ethics committee."

"My test results are very important. If I can confirm that the younger brother's problematic heart has a greater chance of recovery if transplanted to the older brother, the Ethics Committee will give the green light to the heart transplant operation."

Zeng Yan said "oh" and asked, "Uncle, is this ethics committee specifically responsible for approving surgeries?"

Yu Zhiming introduced: "This ethics committee refers to a committee composed of people from medical, pharmaceutical and other backgrounds. Its responsibilities are to independently review, track and review medical trials, drug trials, and specific surgeries to ensure the rights and interests of all parties."

He added: "Some specific surgeries, like this heart transplant, are likely to greatly harm the interests of the twin brother and must be approved by the ethics committee first."

Zeng Yan nodded her head and said, "I'm giving you gold worth millions of dollars just to ask you to show some leniency and allow the heart transplant surgery to go smoothly?"

Yu Zhiming snorted and said righteously, "Am I the kind of person who can be bought by money?"

He looked at Zhang Hai and said, "Let the so-called assistant leave quickly and warn her that if she does this again, I won't even do a physical examination for her boss."

Zhang Hai nodded and turned to leave.

"Hey, Zhang Hai..."

Yu Zhiming stopped his special agent guard and asked curiously, "When you found out about this, why didn't you just chase him away or report it to me, but instead came in and told me?"

Zhang Hai reported: "Doctor Yu, my order is to protect your safety and not to interfere with other matters."

"That oriole wanted to see you, and only told me the truth after I found the gold bars he was carrying."

"This matter falls into the category of other matters that I will not interfere with, so I will just come in and report to you."

Yu Zhiming said "oh" and asked curiously: "Zhang Hai, what if I just took the gold?"

Zhang Hai said loudly: "The order I received is only to be responsible for your personal safety and not to interfere with anything else..."
