The American patient Da Costa was a little disappointed that Yu Zhiming only gave an uncertain diagnosis.
However, in view of Yu Zhiming's past performance, he still wanted to try this trial and error treatment.
It's just that what Yu Zhiming said was serious, the disease was severe and life-threatening, which made Da Costa become extremely cautious again.
Although a man named Yu Zhiming has emerged in this country, who can even treat late-stage cancer, Da Costa still looks down upon the medical level here, which is at least quite different from that in the United States.
He thought for a while and said: "Dr. Yu, you said that this trial and error treatment will be extremely dangerous if you try it right. To be on the safe side, I would like to ask you to go to the United States to perform this trial and error treatment on me."
Yu Zhiming refused: "Sorry, I can't take a long-distance trip by plane due to personal health reasons, and time doesn't allow it either."
Director Chen of the Trauma Surgery Department of the Fifth Hospital of the City, who accompanied Da Costa, no longer kept quiet and persuaded: "Mr. Da Costa, Dr. Yu has the ability to detect the subtleties of the disease and can detect various types of diseases in the body during severe attacks.
Subtle changes can be detected and targeted treatment adjustments can be made.”
"With more doctors supervising the treatment process, the risk will be greatly reduced, and even fatal risks can be averted."
Mr. Da Costa asked in disbelief: "Didn't Dr. Yu himself admit one thing? He is only good at identifying problems, not good at solving them?"
He went on to say: "The United States has the most advanced and sophisticated medical equipment in the world. It is very easy to monitor body changes."
Director Chen saw that this guy was more willing to believe in cold instruments and equipment, so he stopped persuading him.
If you are not a close relative or friend, just give it some proper persuasion.
As for Yu Zhiming, he will not strongly persuade, only give suggestions, and adhere to the principle of making his own life and making his own decisions.
When Da Costa saw that Yu Zhiming refused to go to the United States, he finally politely said that since it might involve life and death, he needed to seriously consider it, and left the soundproof examination room.
Yu Zhiming continued the interrupted outpatient work and did not finish today's work until nearly six o'clock in the evening.
He left the soundproof examination room and took a few steps into the general examination room diagonally opposite. He found that Zhou Luo, Qiu Yi, and Gong Yue, who were participating remotely, were still discussing the condition of the father of the woman who wanted to sell herself.
Zhou Luohui reported: "Teacher, we have ruled out five possible diseases such as polio. We are increasingly leaning towards the possibility that it may be some kind of mutated super virus."
The so-called super virus does not refer to a new virus, but a collective term for viruses that are multi-drug resistant, difficult to treat, and highly dangerous.
Yu Zhiming looked at the various disease names that were crossed out or put question marks on the whiteboard one by one, and said: "Judging from the information on the whiteboard, you have made a lot of bold assumptions."
"However, in my opinion, there is obviously one omission on your part and you are not bold enough."
"What's missing?" Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Qiu Yi, and Gong Yue all asked almost in unison.
Yu Zhiming said slowly: "We all know that this patient's condition has been going from mild to severe for more than a month."
"If the patient's condition only lasted three or five days, what else do you think would be possible?"
"The condition only lasts three to five days?" Zhou Luo and Qiu Yi murmured in silence.
The next moment, Qiu Yi's eyes lit up and he said: "Rabies!"
He said loudly: "Patients with rabies paralysis do not have the typical excitement period and hydrophobia."
"It usually starts with symptoms such as high fever, headache, vomiting, etc., followed by symptoms such as limb weakness, abdominal distension, ataxia, muscle paralysis, and incontinence of urine and feces. The symptoms are 70% or 80% similar to this patient's symptoms."
Zhou Luo questioned: "But teacher, once rabies attacks, the mortality rate within seven days is as high as 100%."
"This patient has been suffering from attacks for more than a month and is still alive."
Yu Zhiming said softly: "Since you all made bold assumptions, you shouldn't just rule out rabies with very similar symptoms just because it doesn't match up at all."
After a pause, he said slowly: "Of course, I must admit that the possibility of this patient contracting rabies is very slim, but is it really even possible?"
"With the complexity of individuals and the mutation of rabies virus, is it really possible that there is no such thing?"
Yu Zhiming added: "You must know that AIDS, which is generally recognized as incurable, has special cases. It has been confirmed that two AIDS patients were cured for unknown reasons."
Seeing Zhou Luo, Shen Qi, Sui Chi, Qiu Yi, and Gong Yue on the tablet computer, they all nodded as if they were being taught. Yu Zhiming had a sense of accomplishment as a teacher.
In fact, last night, when Yu Zhiming saw that the patient had been suffering for more than a month, he took it for granted and ruled out rabies.
But just now, Yu Zhiming saw that there were many diseases written on the whiteboard, but there was no rabies, so he used the topic to bring out rabies.
Of course, he didn't think in his heart that the patient had rabies.
"Have you been tested for rabies?"
Zhou Luo shook his head and said: "Not only us, but also several hospitals treating patients have taken it for granted to rule out this possibility."
Yu Zhiming said seriously: "In this situation, since we still have no clue, any possibility, even a small one, must be substantively ruled out instead of taken for granted."
Zhou Luo nodded and said: "Yes, teacher. I will contact the hospital where the patient is located later and ask them to do a rabies test."
Yu Zhiming hummed with satisfaction and said, "You guys can continue the discussion. If you still don't have a clue by tomorrow morning, let the family members send the patient to us."
Yu Zhiming said this and left the general examination room with the air of a teacher.
Qiu Yi looked away from the closed door, took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "I learned from Dr. Yu again. This is not a gap in wisdom, but a gap in the way of thinking."
"Since it is a difficult and complicated disease that several of us have been thinking about to no avail, we really shouldn't rely on one or two so-called impossibilities to rule out some possible diseases for granted."
"With billions of people, the diversity and complexity of people, and the variability of disease development, nothing is impossible."
Zhou Luo and Gong Yue had expressions of approval on their faces...
Yu Zhiming, who returned to the soundproof office, said to Zhou Mo, who had followed him in: "I found that I forgot one thing. Please help me think about it, how to arrange the order of students for Zhou Luodingye and the other five. Who is the senior brother?"
Zhou Mo sighed softly and said, "Doctor Yu, Zhou Luo is very concerned about the position of this senior brother. As for Ding Ye and Sui Chi, they are also a little concerned, but not as much as Zhou Luo."
"How about you let them compete to see who is the most powerful and who should be the senior brother?"
Yu Zhiming glanced at her and said, "It's not easy to compete. They all have their own strengths. It's hard to design the test questions. If one is not good, it will show that I am biased."
He then asked: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Mo replied: "Dean Gu called and said that Dr. Wang Yan has arrived in Binhai. He also said that if it is convenient for you, the meeting can be arranged tonight..."
