At nearly ten o'clock in the evening, Zhou Mo returned to the villa and saw Yu Zhiming and Qing Ning, who were wearing couple-style cotton pajamas, cuddling on the sofa and watching TV together.
"I was a little surprised to see you two watching TV in the living room in such a civilized manner."
Zhou Mo joked again: "According to common sense, if you are not in the carriage, you should be in the bedroom upstairs."
Yu Zhiming glanced at this guy.
Gu Qingning chuckled and said: "It's not that we don't want to, it's just that my body doesn't allow it. You understand, hehe."
She stood up to pick up a few packed lunch boxes from Zhou Mo's hand, and asked: "What's delicious?"
"Two portions of fruit, one portion of braised chicken wings, one portion of braised duck tongue, and two portions of Yangzhou fried rice."
While Zhou Mo was introducing, he and Qing Ning placed the food they brought on the coffee table.
Zhou Mo woke up and asked with concern: "This braised duck tongue is a bit spicy, can you eat the lime?"
Gu Qingning responded with action, directly taking a duck tongue and putting it into her mouth.
Zhou Mo said enthusiastically: "Doctor Yu, Qing Ning, and the restaurant chef told me that most of the nursing staff in the nursing home have gone to the mountains to look for people."
"It is said that a young couple who were still high school students wanted to run into the mountains to die for their love. The parents paid huge sums of money to search the mountains to find someone."
"Even the waiters and chefs in the restaurant have gone away, so now the chef is on duty alone."
Gu Qingning nodded and said: "We know about this, we will give you ten thousand to each person, and we will give you one hundred thousand if you find the person."
She picked up another duck tongue and commented with satisfaction: "It tastes pretty good."
Zhou Mo sighed softly and said: "I often see news on the Internet about students who can't think of anything and commit suicide."
"Is it because today's children have too weak psychological endurance?"
Yu Zhiming said softly: "Nowadays, information is developed, and everything big and small can be seen online."
"In the past, there were many children and adults who committed suicide."
"In the more than ten years since I was a child, I know that there were three people in our village who committed suicide due to various reasons. In the past ten years, I haven't heard of anyone in our village who couldn't think of anything anymore."
Yu Zhiming took a bite of a braised chicken wing and pointed to two portions of steaming fried rice.
"You brought them all to me?"
"Can you eat it?" Zhou Mo asked.
Yu Zhiming weighed his stomach and said frankly: "I can eat it, but I'm about to rest and don't want to eat so much."
Zhou Mo imitated Yu Zhiming's previous behavior and rolled his eyelids, saying, "You just don't want to eat so much."
"One is for you, and the other is for Qing Ning and me."
"Ling Meng, let's divide it..."
Zhou Mo shared the fried rice and said, "Doctor Yu, the Chinese-American has arrived in Binhai and checked into the Youyou Hotel."
"He also said, do you want to send over the information on his condition since the onset of the disease so that you can study it first?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said: "No need."
"Medical experts at home and abroad have found no problems in his various physical examination data."
"Although I don't belittle myself, I am not arrogant enough to think that I can see something unusual from the disease data."
He looked at his hands and said, "I hope I can use my hands to find something during tomorrow's inspection."
Gu Qingning went to the water dispenser in the living room, picked up three cups of hot water, and brought them over.
"Zhi Ming, what are the symptoms of that person? They were not cured in the United States. Even if they were treated back home, they had no effect."
Zhou Mo was the first to reply: "Just one symptom, fever."
“Fever can’t be cured?”
Zhou Mo looked disbelieving and questioned: "No way? Are the doctors that man is looking for just a loser?"
Yu Zhiming took a sip of water, swallowed the fried rice in his mouth, and explained: "It is easy to treat a fever with known causes, but it is difficult to treat a fever with unknown causes."
In the past six months or so, this Chinese-American has frequently had inexplicable fevers reaching 38 degrees or even over 39 degrees.
He had several physical examinations in the United States, but no cause of the fever was found.
Now we can only rely on antipyretics to forcefully cool down the body.
Because the cause of the disease was not found, targeted treatment could not be carried out to eradicate it. In the past few months, he could only cycle between sudden fever and taking antipyretic drugs.
"Qing Ning, let me tell you one thing. Although fever is a common patient symptom, the undiagnosed fever is a very headache for our doctors."
Yu Zhiming slowly introduced: "Fever is under investigation, which refers to fever of unknown origin and needs further examination."
"It gives us doctors a headache. The reason it is difficult to diagnose is because there are so many reasons that can cause fever in people."
Yu Zhiming took a sip of water and further introduced: "Let's put it this way, all kinds of headaches, brain fever, fever and irritation may cause fever. From childhood colds to large tumors, they can all cause fever in the body."
"There are also some more complex autoimmune diseases that can also cause fevers that are not effective with anti-inflammatory shots."
"When making a diagnosis, we have to rule out everything one by one, from the most common colds, fevers, and pneumonia to the most complex autoimmune diseases or rheumatic diseases."
"Also, fever is a systemic symptom, but it is likely to be caused by a small local cause."
"Doctors need to look for them one by one, do a lot of tests, and rule them out one after another."
"Sometimes, we have to go through the entire internal medicine book and try our best to rule out the cause of his fever, but in the end, it is still difficult to make a diagnosis, or more complex tests need to be done."
"Sometimes, the only option is to give up exploring the cause and use antipyretic drugs to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause."
Gu Qingning let out a long sigh and said: "I understand, the main reason is that there are too many causes of fever, and there is only this one symptom, so you need to spend a lot of energy to eliminate it and check it out."
Yu Zhiming hummed and said, "We doctors are not afraid of patients showing many symptoms."
"The more symptoms a patient has, the more clues they provide, making it easier for us to locate the source and confirm the diagnosis."
"The more common a single symptom is, the more troublesome it is."
Yu Zhiming sighed again: "Take this single fever as an example. This happens often."
"The patient was admitted to the hospital and underwent a lot of tests and spent a lot of money, but the doctor still didn't know what caused the fever."
"The patients and their families are also very angry."
"It's just a small fever. The hospital has done so many tests and still has no clue. Is it deliberately cheating them of money?"
"Sometimes, even when the cause of the fever is still being examined, the patient gets better and no longer has a fever."
"The doctor doesn't know why, but the patient just recovered and was discharged..."
Gu Qingning chuckled and said, "This kind of situation will never happen to you Zhiming."
"You will know the cause of the fever by just checking the patient's body."
Yu Zhiming smiled softly and said: "I am not omniscient and omnipotent. If there are no pathological changes in the organs or tissues of the patient's body, I will not be able to detect some causes of fever."
Speaking of this, Yu Zhiming looked at Zhou Mo and asked, "Has the patient brought the chess set here?"
Zhou Mo replied: "The international urgent mail he asked his family to send has already been sent to him."
Yu Zhiming made a soft noise, stopped talking, and ate the fried rice with big mouthfuls.
Gu Qingning suddenly chuckled and said: "During dinner, Uncle Yantang said that Dr. Tang is a good teacher. In fact, you are also like this, and you like to popularize science for us at every turn."
Yu Zhiming explained: "I'm not afraid that you won't understand, so I talked more and in more detail."
"If you don't like hearing it, I will..."
Gu Qingning hurriedly interrupted: "I like it, I like it very much! It's just that no matter what you said, I like it."
"This should be Aiwujiwu, right? Hee hee!"
Zhou Mo protested, pretending to be dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, be careful, I'm still there."
"It's very immoral for you to spread dog food like this."
Gu Qingning smiled and said: "If you can't stand it, you should quickly find one."
"Would you like me to introduce you to one?"
Zhou Mo glanced at her, quickly picked up a chicken wing and fed it into her little mouth.
Yu Zhiming spoke again: "Teacher Qi said that because of Qi Zhen's return to China, his family will organize a gathering of relatives and friends this Sunday."
"You should have been invited too, right?"
Zhou Mo nodded and said with a depressed look: "That guy Qizhen changed his goal and started to please my mother."
"He even went out of his way to pick up my mother during the New Year's concert on New Year's Day."
She bit her lip and said, "I have a hunch that that guy might be going to cause trouble at the Sunday party."
"Are you professing love to you in public?" Gu Qingning's eyes widened with a gossipy expression on her face.
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "This possibility, let alone talk about it, really cannot be ruled out."
She hesitated and said, "What do you think about me having a sick escape at the party that day?"
Yu Zhiming shook his head and said: "If you hide from the first year of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. It's better to face it than to escape."
"If he expresses love in public, are you really unwilling to accept him? If you reject him in public, maybe you can make him give up completely?"
Gu Qingning roared: "Momo, you wouldn't agree to it in a moment of enthusiasm under the other party's romantic offensive, would you?"
Zhou Mo imagined some romantic scenes in movies and TV shows where he was proposed to in public, and then replaced the protagonist with himself...
"No!"
"I am a principled person. I am not a lover. I will not act impulsively just for the sake of temporary romance and excitement."
The three of them had supper, chatted for another ten or twenty minutes, and then went to sleep.
Yu Zhiming still slept in the bed car...
I don’t know how much time passed, but Yu Zhiming was suddenly woken up by the ringing of the phone.
He picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Qing Ning.
"At the end of the day, Uncle Yantang called and said that someone who went into the mountain to search had an accident. He also said that the injury was quite serious."
"On the way to the nursing home."
"Zhi Ming, do you see this?"
Yu Zhiming immediately replied: "I'll get up right now..."
