medical treatment

Chapter 177
Yu Zhiming knew a little about this human chimera.

The word chimera comes from Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, there is a fire-breathing beast with the body of a lion, the head of a sheep on its back, and the tail of a snake.

Human chimeras, while less dramatic, do have some recognizable physical traits.

For example, some are born with large red or black patches, or, like a Persian cat, two eyes of different colors.

Of course there is another kind, those intersex people who have both male and female - reproductive organs.

These features are typical biological chimeras.

Usually, human mosaicism occurs in twins during the first trimester of pregnancy.

This is when two eggs are conceived at the same time.

The two fertilized-embryos accidentally came so close together that a competition for nutrients took place between the two cells.

As a result, one cell absorbs the other.

In this case, there will be two different DNA sequences in the same fertilized egg.

This is certainly not the only way biochimerism can be.

In fact, human bone marrow transplantation, organ transplantation, or blood transfusion also belong to a kind of chimerism.

Because at this time, people who accept donations will carry two different DNAs in their bodies.

In reality, there have been some strange and rare human chimera events that have actually occurred.

For example, a mother gave birth to a child whose DNA was found to be a mismatch and not her child.

That's because the organ in her body that produces the egg cells actually comes from her fraternal twin sister.

In another case, the wife did not have an affair, but the child she gave birth to, in a physiological sense, was not her husband's, but her husband's older brother or younger brother.

Yu Zhiming regards these strange cases of human chimeras as strange stories.

Therefore, Yu Zhiming still has a clear and profound memory of what a human chimera is.

It's just that, in the real medical experience, did you really encounter a rather rare human chimera?
Yu Zhiming looked again at the child who was as thin as bean sprouts on the big bed in front of him.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher, how sure are you?"

"At least ninety-nine percent!"

There was absolute confidence in Qi Yue's voice.

"To the Ming Dynasty, other medical experts are not fools, they are all real masters of medicine."

"They have helped us rule out all other possibilities before us."

"So, your current discovery means that it is the only correct answer."

Yu Zhiming thought about it, and it was indeed the case.

As Sherlock Holmes said, if other possibilities are excluded, the last remaining one, even if it is bizarre, is the truth.

The important thing is that Yu Zhiming is also quite confident in his inspection findings.

The feeling that the child in front of him seems to be one person made of two people can't be wrong.

Yu Zhiming still clearly remembered that there was another case of human chimera.

It was an American model and singer.

The skin color on the left and right sides of her body appeared distinctly one dark and one light.

She is a chimera with different DNA on the left and right sides.

Since a person can chimerize left and right, it is not impossible for the child in front of him to be chimeric up and down.

Yu Zhiming thought of another point, and asked in confirmation: "Teacher, this child has been weak and sick since he was a child. Is it because the two sets of immune systems in the body conflict and interfere with each other, which makes the body's immunity low?"

Qi Yue nodded and hummed, and said: "Since we have found the root of the disease, let's go out..."

The two walked out of the room, took off the sealed disinfection clothes, and noticed Ge Yunlun, as well as the child's grandparents and more than a dozen family members and friends, surrounded him one after another.

Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Qi Yue said loudly: "Finally, I have lived up to my trust, and I have found the reason."

"Your child is a chimera patient..."

Next, Qi Yue briefly introduced what a human chimera is.

He said again with a serious face: "Although human chimeras are rare, they can be regarded as a natural phenomenon."

"It's just that your child's situation is more special. Because of the conflict and interference between the two sets of immune systems in his body, his body's immunity is low, and his child has been weak and sick since he was a child."

"but……"

Qi Yue raised his voice a little, and said, "As long as we take care of the child a little, exercise more, and improve his adaptability, his own immunity will gradually improve."

"When he reaches puberty, his physical fitness should not be much different from his peers!"

"but……"

Qi Yue purposely paused for a moment, then continued: "Because of your excessive pampering, not only did his immunity fail to improve, but it declined even more."

"A large part of the reason for the child's physical state that is almost hard to return to now is because of your excessive pampering and doting."

Speaking of this, Qi Yue found that only a few of these people showed shame.

However, more people have ridicule in their eyes.

Qi Yue knew that in the hearts of the people in front of them, they didn't believe that he really found the right cause.

After all, these people have been disappointed too many times.

How do you know that Qi Yue didn't trick them with a false name of a disease?
Then, as several other medical experts said, he attributed the children's problems to their pampering?
And the most important point, it took Qi Yue and Yu Zhiming less than half an hour from entering the room to leaving.

What can you do in such a short amount of time?

False, not serious!
After expressing his point of view, Qi Yue, who knew it well, did not continue to explain, but turned his attention to Ge Yunlun.

"Mr. Ge, two things!"

"Doctor Qi, you can just tell me if you have anything to do!" Ge Yunlun showed great respect.

Qi Yue said slowly: "The diagnosis of the two of us still needs to be confirmed by solid facts."

"Need a DNA test."

"It is necessary to take samples from multiple places in the child's body to verify whether his body really contains two kinds of DNA as we have judged."

Ge Yunlun said in a deep voice: "Doctor Qi, this is easy to handle. I will contact the hospital later and ask them to come and take samples for testing."

"Doctor Qi, the second thing?"

Qi Yue continued: "The second thing is the child's treatment. The first thing is to control the interference and conflict of the immune system in his body and improve the body's immunity."

"In this field, my skills are average."

"Mr. Ge, I recommend you a real immunologist. He is Dr. Lin Zaixue from Xiehe in your capital city."

"Lin Zai learns to be a doctor?!"

Ge Yunlun repeated it, and said solemnly: "Doctor Qi, I will personally invite Dr. Lin."

After pausing for a moment, he made another gesture of invitation.

"Doctor Qi, Doctor Yu, let's change places, sit down and talk while resting."

"Some refreshments are also ready."

Qi Yue waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Ge, don't bother."

"To be honest, I didn't expect that the trip would diagnose your son's problem so smoothly."

"Since there is so much time, there is no need to adjust my work schedule in the afternoon."

"We rush back now, it's still too late."

As soon as these words came out, Ge Yunlun's expression changed.

"Doctor Qi, Doctor Yu, how can I let you leave immediately without taking a sip of water?"

"It seems that our Ge family is too bad at hospitality..."

However, no matter how Ge Yunlun and his family tried to persuade him, Qi Yue insisted that his patients in the afternoon were also very important.

Since time can catch up, it is better to go back as soon as possible.

For Qi Yue's persistence, Ge Yunlun was helpless, but also respectful.

It also boosted a lot of confidence in their diagnosis.

Ge Yunlun took out the checkbook on the spot, ready to fill in the remuneration, but was stopped by Qi Yue.

"Mr. Ge, don't worry about this. The child's health is the most important thing. The two things I said should be done as soon as possible."

Ge Yunlun put away the checkbook as if realizing something.

He said slowly: "Doctor Qi, what you said is that the child's body cannot be delayed."

"Doctor Qi, Doctor Yu, wait for the child to pass this test and recover a bit..."

"I will definitely, definitely go to Binhai again in person, and extend my most sincere thanks to the two of you..."

　It's a new week, ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and other support!
