Chapter 1292: Fasting and No Water
At nearly 9:30 in the evening, Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi and Duan Yi, who had dealt with the follow-up matters of the apprenticeship banquet, gathered with Qiu Yi and Gong Yue in the large office on the third basement floor of Zhizhen Building.

Zhou Luo piled several stacks of medical information on his desk and pulled the clean whiteboard over.

"All the physical examinations that the little boy has undergone in various hospitals over the past three years are here."

Zhou Luo introduced it and then said, "I asked the nurse and she said that the little boy hasn't slept yet."

"Doctor Qiu, Doctor Gong, if you want to conduct a medical examination on the little boy..."

Qiu Yi shook his head and interrupted, "I don't need it. I don't have Dr. Yu's ability to see the big picture from the small details. The information I want to know can be found in this pile of information."

Gong Yue also shook his head.

Zhou Luo exchanged glances with Shen Qi, Sui Chi, and Duan Yi, and spoke again: "Let's not hide anything, let's talk about our findings and guesses first."

He picked up a whiteboard marker and wrote on the whiteboard, saying, "Based on the diagnosis and treatment records of many famous doctors, we believe that the following possibilities are the most likely causes of the boy's unexplained fainting."

"One is that there is a subtle congenital defect or acquired disease somewhere in the body, which triggers syncope under certain conditions."

"The second is some special allergic reaction."

"Third, the little boy's fainting was caused by psychological stress or psychological self-suggestion for some reason."

"Fourth, some means of harm by others."

Qiu Yi waited for Zhou Luo to finish speaking, then slowly said, "I think the first one is the most likely. I personally feel that the boy's fainting is like a computer overloading and restarting."

"The boy has a physical defect that makes his body unable to process a certain amount of accumulated information or other things, or an organ or system has reached a certain limit. The only way to clear it out is to faint and restart, so that the body can start over."

Gong Yue nodded and said, "This guess is quite possible, but in this case, perhaps only Doctor Yu can see the big picture from the small details and detect the congenital deformities or acquired diseases that cannot be detected by various medical instruments."

Duan Yi suddenly said, "Hypoglycemia patients will feel unwell or faint when their blood sugar drops to a certain level. When we are exhausted to the extreme, we can fall asleep immediately."

"Perhaps, we can induce the boy's fainting in various ways to find out whether it is caused by excessive brain, excessive heart, excessive liver, excessive fatigue, etc.?"

Shen Qi reminded him, "Don't forget, the little boy has had detailed records of 43 fainting episodes over the past two years, and we haven't found any obvious common points or patterns."

"I think it is not a syncope caused by overdoing something or running to a certain limit, but more like a triggered or reflex syncope without any gradual process and accumulation."

Duan Yi countered: "Even if it is triggered or reflex syncope, there should be some commonalities and patterns."

Sui Chi also said: "Perhaps this commonality and law is hidden in deeper details, and we haven't discovered it yet."

"It would be best to observe the boy's fainting process a few times with your own eyes. Perhaps you will be able to find something."

Duan Yi said: "There are eight fainting videos captured by surveillance video..."

Sui Chi frowned and said, "The video wasn't clear enough, and the angle wasn't good enough, so I can't see the problem."

Duan Yi rolled her eyes and said, "There is no pattern to the boy's fainting. To achieve what you said about observing with your own eyes, you have to stay by his side for several months without doing anything else."

"It also requires luck."

"If we have this much time, we might as well stimulate the boy in various ways and induce him to faint..."

Yu Zhiming returned to his home in Junshanfu Community, washed up and went to bed to rest, and then he closed his eyes and opened them again. It was the next morning. Because he had to rush to the hospital for a physical examination, Yu Zhiming had to control himself, fasting and not drinking water.

Many items in health check-ups or medical examinations require fasting.

The examination items that require fasting are mainly routine biochemical tests, including enzyme, blood sugar, lipid, liver and kidney function, and some endocrine tests, which generally require fasting for a period of time.

In addition, fasting is required during abdominal B-ultrasound examinations, gallbladder and common bile duct examinations, etc. Otherwise, the gallbladder will contract during bile excretion, which may easily lead to misdiagnosis or unclear B-ultrasound results.

During medical examinations such as gastrointestinal endoscopy and barium meal, strict fasting and abstention from water are also required.

Yu Zhiming has always been unable to stand hunger, and this deliberate fasting and abstinence from water made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

In addition, in order to reduce physical exertion, he even skipped his daily morning physical exercise.

Qing Ning quickly packed herself up, put some girl's supplies into her bag, picked up the bag and said to the drooping Yu Zhiming: "Let's go to the hospital."

Yu Zhiming said, "I need to fast for the examination, but you don't. Go have breakfast."

Qing Ning said solemnly: "As your lover, I must share the joys and sorrows with you. If you can't eat or drink, I will not drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice to accompany you."

Yu Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to say that I am touched, but your behavior is a bit childish. There is no need to show your kindness to me in this way."

"Getting up early in the morning without eating or drinking water will have a significant impact on the body. Unless you have to fast and abstain from water like me, it is really unnecessary."

"Hurry up and have breakfast..."

At Yu Zhiming's urging, Qing Ning drank a glass of milk as quickly as possible, ate two boiled eggs and two small pastries, and simply filled her stomach.

The two took the elevator to the underground parking lot and saw Sun Lin and Zhou Mo already waiting for him.

After getting in the car, Zhou Mo reported, "I learned from Zhou Luo that the six of them have made some discoveries about the unexplained fainting of the little boy on Hong Kong Island after nearly a night of discussion and research, but you still need to do an examination to confirm it."

Yu Zhiming let out a light oh.

Zhou Mo continued, "Shen Qi's cousin, after a night of treatment, his kidney bleeding was under control."

"It's just that his kidneys are severely damaged and will take a long time to recover. It's hard to say how much recovery he will have."

Yu Zhiming said lightly: "The body is tough and fragile. If you play with your body, your body will naturally repay you well."

Zhou Mo echoed, "He deserves what he has done. I'm sure he must be regretting it now."

The next moment, she changed her tone and said, "Doctor Yu, as the charity gala is approaching, some bigwigs who are determined to attend the gala have tentatively asked if they can get a physical examination while they are there."

Yu Zhiming nodded gently and said, "Okay, they donated generously, so we should also show our appreciation..."

Nearly an hour later, Yu Zhiming and others arrived at Huashan Hospital and went to the physical examination center first.

Yu Zhiming had to do the physical examination that required fasting first so that he could eat something quickly.

That way, he would have the energy and strength to check up the little boy on Hong Kong Island...
