Chapter 1572 No more involvement
Time passed day and night and it was Thursday, the day for the weekly physical examination.

Yu Zhiming completed the hospital donation unit physical examination in the morning and returned to the office for lunch. He heard three pieces of news in succession.

"Doctor Yu, the results are out. The bone marrow transplantation match with that guy is not suitable, hehe..."

The probability of successful bone marrow transplantation matching among immediate family members is generally between 25% and 100%.

This depends mainly on the relationship between the matcher and the patient.

If the matching is done with the patient's immediate parents and children, the probability of a match is about 50%.

If the matcher and the patient are identical twins, the probability of matching is 100%.

If the matching is done between the patient's other siblings, the probability is only about 25%.

If the match is with a stranger, the probability is drastically reduced to tens of thousands or even one in a million.

Seeing Zhou Mo's unconcealed relief, Yu Zhiming smiled and said, "It's God who doesn't want you to help that guy. You don't have to worry about it anymore."

"As for that guy, money talks. If he offers a reward of millions or tens of millions of dollars, he can find a donor who matches him even if the probability is one in a million."

Zhou Mo chuckled and said, "I have done my best for that guy. I don't care whether he lives or dies."

After a pause, Zhou Mo said, "The little girl who had allergies last night is out of danger after being treated last night."

"I asked a nurse I know to get some information, and I learned that last night..."

Zhou Mo slowly recounted, "The mother and daughter were driving home from their best friend's place. On the way, the little girl opened a bag of snacks her best friend had given her, which she said were brought from the United States."

"After a while, the little girl had an allergic reaction and couldn't breathe. The little girl's mother was terrified and drove to the nearest Huashan."

"As luck would have it, we ran into a traffic jam."

"The little girl's mother had no choice but to abandon the car and run to the hospital with her daughter in her arms. After a while, she ran out of strength and asked for help."

“And then this guy showed up.”

Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Fortunately, it's not the worst case scenario. That guy still has a bottom line."

He then said, "Many Chinese people believe that food safety in other countries is safe. In fact, the types and amounts of food additives used in the United States are the highest. Moreover, they do not need to mark them in the food ingredient list. This leads to Americans' allergies, which are notoriously serious."

As Yu Zhiming spoke, he took a neurological examination report handed over by Zhou Mo.

When I opened it, I found it belonged to a little boy from Hong Kong Island.

Yu Zhiming looked at several neurological examination items in detail and found that the results of the neuroelectrophysiological examination showed abnormal hysteresis and loss of electric current, which was about one-fifth less than the normal current value.

This number is abnormal and indicates nerve damage.

Of course, this is an obvious thing to say.

If there had been no neurological damage, the little boy would not have been confined to a wheelchair and unable to walk using his own legs.

The question is how to treat it next?

Warming up? Electric current stimulation?

The little boy has been undergoing similar treatment for the past six years, and his current condition suggests that it is ineffective.

Using Gilead Amino Acids to Improve Recovery?
Yu Zhiming pondered and shook his head. Ji's amino acids only promoted and improved the recovery speed, but could not create something out of nothing.

Six years of recovery had no effect. It was very likely that the nerve damage had already lost the possibility of recovery.

Maybe we can try a nerve transplant...

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the mother of the little boy from Hong Kong Island followed Zhou Mo to the director's office on the seventh floor of Zhizhen Building and met Director Qi Yue.

"Hello, Ms. Tao! I am Dr. Yu Zhiming's teacher, neurologist Qi Yue."

After introducing himself, Qi Yue suddenly had a strange feeling.

Before, when he went out to participate in various activities, people introduced him as Qi Yue, a diagnostic expert at Huashan Hospital. I don't know since when, the introduction of him added a sentence "teacher of Dr. Yu Zhiming" after the adjective of diagnostic expert at Huashan Hospital.

I don’t know when it started, but “Dr. Yu Zhiming’s teacher” became the first adjective when people introduced him, ranking before Huashan Hospital.

Nowadays, when he introduces himself, he habitually adds "Dr. Yu Zhiming's teacher."

That guy's status is rising rapidly.

Qi Yue sighed secretly, looked at the nervous woman in front of him, and said gently: "We had a consultation on the treatment of your child."

"We have looked at your child's past treatment records, and we can say that most of the treatment methods have been used."

"Except one..."

Qi Yue paused for a moment before slowly saying, "The surgery, to be exact, is a nerve transplant."

Ms. Tao from Hong Kong Island asked in confusion: "Nerve transplant surgery? Replace my son's leg nerves with someone else's?"

Qi Yue explained: "It's not like that. It's an autologous transplant, using your own nerves to replace the problematic nerves."

He took out the simple diagram drawn by Yu Zhiming, showed it to Ms. Tao, and then said, "Doctor Yu found that there is a problem with this part of the two nerves that come out of your son's lumbar spine."

"During the surgery, Dr. Yu will also participate to confirm the scope of the nerve problem."

"If the nerve to be cut is relatively short, since nerves have a certain elasticity, there is no need to transplant nerves from other places to fill the gap. The two ends can be sutured directly."

"If the nerve in question is long, we need to harvest a nerve from somewhere else in the body to fill the gap."

Ms. Tao nodded and asked again: "After this nerve transplant surgery, will my son be able to walk again?"

Qi Yue said solemnly, "This is the problem. We cannot guarantee that your son's legs will regain strength after this operation."

"I can only say that it's possible!"

Ms. Tao pressed on: “How likely is that?”

Qi Yue replied very cautiously: "Since this was discovered and proposed by Dr. Yu, the probability is at least 60%."

"only……"

Qi Yue then reminded, "If the operation doesn't go well, your son will not only lose his legs, but he may also lose his current sensations."

"The possibility of recovery in the future is very slim."

Ms. Tao was silent for a moment, then said, "In other words, this neurosurgery treatment is all in."

"It's either success or total loss of everything, and the hope of getting my legs back."

Qi Yue nodded gently and said, "You can understand it that way."

Ms. Tao bit her lip with a look of struggle and said, "My son is already twelve years old. He is not only strong but also has his own opinions."

"He still needs to make his own decision on this matter..."

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Mo saw the mixed-race man again.

"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Lin would very much like to meet you. If his treatment is not effective and he cannot find a matching donor, it will take at most two or three months."

The mixed-race young man said, "Mr. Lin said that he no longer has any children in the United States, and he needs to discuss some of his affairs after his death with you."

Zhou Mo said expressionlessly, "There is a saying in our country, 'You raised me when I was young, and I will take care of you when you are old.' He didn't do the first part, so don't even think about taking care of you in your old age."

"As for his funeral, you came all the way here for him, so I'm sure you'll be able to take care of his funeral when the day comes."

Zhou Mo added: "I have nothing to do with him anymore. Don't come to me for anything related to him in the future..."
