Chapter 789 I just want to show off

Nearly 07:30 in the evening, in the soundproof operating room, the puncture and implantation of radioactive seed rods for patients with skull base tumors began.

About half an hour later, the operation was completed.

After another hour of observation, the patient showed no abnormalities, and Yu Zhiming left the operating room.

At nine-twenty in the evening, Yu Zhiming and Zhou Mo walked out of Zhizhen Tower after packing up.

The two walked in silence for a minute or two, and Zhou Mo asked softly, "Doctor Yu, may I ask why you didn't agree to the Chu family's invitation?"

Yu Zhiming replied: "I didn't count it as a rejection, but I didn't agree to all of Mr. Chu's cooperation requests."

After a pause, he explained: "The Chu family's genetic disease, which is passed on from daughter to son, is obviously a genetic disease caused by genetic mutation."

"Genetic diseases mean that it is difficult to cure."

"If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, you can only correct or make up for it at the genetic level. This requires advanced knowledge in the fields of biological sciences, clinical medicine, biomedicine, and engineering. Let alone a doctorate, it is estimated that postdoctoral fellows are not qualified."

"These fields are far beyond the scope of my knowledge. Whether I join or not will not promote their research project much."

"Of course……"

Yu Zhiming said slowly: "If they want to test the therapeutic effect of a certain drug and detect the progress of their physical condition, I can still play a big role."

"So, I promised the Chu family that if you have similar needs, you can come here to find me at any time."

Zhou Mo let out a soft sigh, and then sighed softly: "The women of the Chu family can't live to be 50 years old. Just thinking about it makes people feel sympathetic."

Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "I also sympathize, but I know my own abilities and I can't help much."

He suddenly paused for a moment, with a look of enlightenment, and said: "The research of rare diseases like genetic diseases requires a high amount of capital investment. I suddenly understand why Mr. Chu is so loud when he treats rich people."

"The Chu family is short of money."

Zhou Mo asked suspiciously: "The Chu family owns such a well-known hospital, as well as a pharmaceutical company and other industries, so are they still short of money?"

Yu Zhiming explained: "Zhou Mo, do you know how much it costs to research a drug for rare diseases?"

"Analytic data shows that the average R&D cost is [-] billion."

"Currently, only 7000% of the more than 5 rare diseases in the world are curable."

"For most rare diseases, because of the small number of patients and the high cost of drug development, no institution is willing to develop them."

Yu Zhiming lamented: "The Chu family wants to develop its own special medicine for genetic diseases on its own, and the funds invested can be said to be a bottomless pit."

Zhou Mo snorted and said, "That is to say, Doctor Yu, you have cut off the Chu family's financial resources."

Yu Zhiming squinted at her, and argued for himself: "I'm just a person, how many patients can I see in a day after working so hard? How can I compare to a big hospital."

"Besides, no matter how short the Chu family is on money, they can't just grab one person and smack them. Other people's money doesn't just come from the wind."

Zhou Mo nodded his head and said, "That's true. I asked for tens of millions of treatment fees, and it really passed."

"If you want to make more money, you should be like Dr. Yu, see more patients, and see 100 patients a day. Even if one person receives 1000 yuan, you can earn [-] million yuan a day."

Yu Zhiming said with displeasure: "I'm still humming, I'm not a pig, is there such a description..."

A few minutes later, the two came to the underground parking lot under the comprehensive office building.

Now parked in Yu Zhiming's exclusive parking space is a BMW MINI, which is Zhou Mo's car.

Lime drove over when delivering lunch at noon.

Yu Zhiming reached out to open the passenger door and was about to get in the car, but was stopped by Zhou Mo.

"Hey, Doctor Yu, you sit in the back seat."

Yu Zhiming rolled his eyelids and said, "Your car is so small, the rear seats are uncomfortable."

Zhou Mo insisted: "Oh, the back seat is relatively safer. Dr. Yu, safety is the most important thing."

For the sake of safety, Yu Zhiming endured it and put himself into the back seat of the car with some effort.

After Zhou Mo drove the car out of the hospital, he chirped again: "Doctor Yu, today I also bought some self-defense weapons online, including engineer shovels, throwing sticks, and bright flashlights."

"This is required by work, and you have to reimburse me."

Yu Zhiming couldn't help but said happily: "Zhou Mo, why are you more careful and nervous than me?"

Zhou Mo snorted and said, "I can't help it, who asked me to be responsible for your safety?"

"If the villain wants to hurt you, there is only one possibility, and that is to step over my dead body."

Yu Zhiming smiled, and felt that this was a very serious topic and he shouldn't laugh.

He said with a serious face: "Zhou Mo, if you really encounter a dangerous situation, don't be stupid, and ensure your own safety first."

"For most bad guys, I'm more valuable and useful alive than dead."

Zhou Mo asked: "What if...what if, the bad guys just want your life?"

Yu Zhiming pondered and said: "It depends on the situation. If the villain is too strong, I will attract the firepower, and you run quickly."

"It's better to die one than to die two."

Zhou Mo roared excitedly: "Doctor Yu, based on your words, I will definitely not let you die before me."

Yu Zhiming cut lightly, and said, "You are talking like we are in a war-torn zone..."

The two chattered, and time flew by all the way, and they returned to the Junshanfu community at ten o'clock in the evening.

When Yu Zhiming returned home, he unexpectedly found that besides Qing Ning, there was one more person who came to greet him.

Qing Ning's cousin Feng Sisi.

Since she was sentenced to two years of probation for physically harming a female classmate, she has been shutting herself out.

She also did not attend the engagement banquet between Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning.

"Brother-in-law, good evening!" Feng Sisi, who was wearing pajamas, looked cute and greeted politely.

Yu Zhiming nodded and asked directly: "You came here all of a sudden. Is there something wrong?"

Feng Sisi took the initiative to take Yu Zhiming's briefcase, and explained softly: "My mother saw that I didn't leave the door all day long, and I didn't leave the door, so she asked me to come out to meet relatives, for fear that I would have mental problems if I stayed at home all the time."

Qing Ning hung up the coat that Yu Zhiming had taken off, took the conversation, and said, "Besides her coming to visit, I also want you to have a physical examination. She is going to donate bone marrow."

"Donate bone marrow?" Yu Zhiming looked at Feng Sisi.

Feng Sisi grimaced and said, "Cousin-in-law, I'm on probation, so I just wanted to show off and signed up as a bone marrow donor."

"Didn't you say that the chance of matching is very low?"

"I have only signed up for more than a month, and I was notified that I have a match with a person."

She asked worriedly: "Cousin-in-law, is this bone marrow donation really harmless to the body?"

Yu Zhiming replied: "This bone marrow donation, theoretically speaking, does no harm to the donor itself."

"However, because each person's physique is different, donors will have different symptoms after donation, and may experience some discomfort symptoms, such as fatigue, hair loss, and decreased immunity."

"Are you still losing your hair?"

Feng Sisi stroked her short black hair and asked nervously, "Cousin-in-law, is it serious?"

Yu Zhiming explained: "It's just possible to lose hair, even if it does, it won't be serious."

"These symptoms usually rest for about half a year, and they will return to before. You don't need to worry too much."

Feng Sisi nodded, but there was still some worry on her face.

Yu Zhiming said in his heart, fortunately the method of bone marrow donation has improved, if it is the same as before, it will definitely scare this guy away.

In the past, there was only one way to donate bone marrow, which was to give volunteers general anesthesia, then puncture multiple parts of the volunteer's ilium, and then extract the bone marrow fluid.

This process of puncture and extraction of bone marrow is painful for donating volunteers.

Nowadays, the method of donating bone marrow has been significantly improved.

Volunteers are first injected with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood.

When the hematopoietic stem cells in the peripheral blood reach a certain amount, the hematopoietic stem cells can be separated by a blood cell separator, and then the hematopoietic stem cells can be transfused into the patient.

The process is almost painless for the bone marrow donor...

Yu Zhiming went to the bathroom to wash up, and then had supper in the restaurant with Qing Ning and Feng Sisi.

Aunt Qiulan prepared crab noodles and four delicate side dishes for their supper.

Feng Sisi said eagerly to Ai Ai: "Cousin-in-law, I've always been afraid of getting blood drawn from injections, and I'm a little scared..."

Qing Ning interrupted: "Sisi, you signed up to be a volunteer for the sake of showing off. Now that you have a model, someone needs your bone marrow to save their lives, but you are shrinking back instead."

"What does that make your probation officer think of you?"

"This time, even if you are afraid in your heart, you have to donate with joy."

"Maybe you can get a reduced sentence."

Feng Sisi said timidly: "Cousin, I actually know that at a time like this, you can't retreat, you can only bite the bullet."

"I'm just talking in front of my family..."

After supper, Yu Zhiming gave Feng Sisi a physical examination on the sofa in the living room.

Feng Sisi's body is quite healthy, but Yu Zhiming accidentally detected a strange object in her appendix.

The object, the size of two peanuts, got stuck in the appendix.

The appendix is ​​a pocket-shaped blind-end organ containing a vestigial section of bowel.

The stenosis and obstruction of the appendix make it difficult for the residue that enters the appendix cavity to be discharged naturally.

Over time, appendix bezoar will form, and if you don't pay attention, it may be infected, causing appendicitis.

However, Yu Zhiming looked at the smooth and regular outline of the foreign object, which looked more like a foreign object than a bezoar.

A foreign body stuck in the appendix is ​​quite rare…
