Chapter 1263: Chapter 962: The Middle-Aged Man’s Physical Exam Report_2 Chapter 1263: Chapter 962: The Middle-Aged Man’s Physical Exam Report_2 Yang Ping asked for Xiao Su’s dical record and read every word, whether it was the disease progress notes, nursing records, or various test results, he studied them carefully and only felt at ease after he had finished.
Director Chen Xiaoqiao, who was in charge of Xiao Su’s maternity care, felt trendous pressure beside him. It wasn’t just her; the entire team felt the weight, as Xiao Su was Yang Ping’s wife, and everyone was afraid of making any mistakes, feeling like every step was under a magnifying glass.
“Professor Yang, Nurse Su has been in pain for two days, if she doesn’t give birth by tomorrow, can we consider artificially rupturing the mbranes?”
Director Chen inquired, feeling quite troubled inside. Who could bla her when Yang Ping was a top all-rounder? At Sanbo Hospital, apart from the obstetrics and gynecology departnt where Yang Ping had not overseen surgery, he had experience in every other departnt. Director Chen wasn’t sure if this demigod was proficient in obstetrics and gynecology, so it seed more appropriate to ask, to avoid teaching her grandmother to suck eggs.
The midwife stood next to Director Chen, her face filled with tension and urgency, as if it were her responsibility that Xiao Su’s baby hadn’t co out yet.
”Yes, if she doesn’t co out by tomorrow, can we consider artificially rupturing the mbranes?” the midwife echoed in a low voice.
As an all-knowing deity, how could he not be proficient in the obstetrics? Even if he wasn’t, during the ti Xiao Su was pregnant, Yang Ping would have worked hard to study and make himself an expert in obstetrics.
“Let talk to my son and ask him to stop troubling his mom and co out earlier.”
Yang Ping said earnestly, then gestured for Xiao Su to bring her stomach closer so he could have a talk with his son.
The people around him wore puzzled expressions. Could this be real?
Yang Ping pressed his ear against Xiao Su’s belly: “Son, you’re making your mom suffer a lot. Can you co out earlier?”
“Tomorrow at nine o’clock? Nine o’clock won’t work; you have to be reasonable. Let’s both take a step back, how about six o’clock, is six okay? Okay, then six it is.”
Yang Ping turned to Director Chen and said, “He said he’ll co out at six. Knowing my son’s character, he shouldn’t lie, so he’ll definitely co out at six.”
Yang Ping wasn’t just talking through his hat; he based his prediction on the uterine contraction situation record in the dical history, and his deduction was very likely accurate.
“Six o’clock? I doubt it.” Director Chen felt without inducing labor, the baby might not arrive by that ti. Not to ntion six in the morning; she’d consider it quick if the baby ca out by six in the afternoon given the current circumstances.
Yang Ping chuckled: “I’m his dad; he has to listen to . We agreed on six o’clock, so he definitely won’t go back on his word.”
Director Chen was confused—is Professor Yang serious or not? He seed earnest in communicating with the fetus, even specifying the exact ti of six o’clock.
After leaving the obstetrics ward, Yang Ping rembered he had a consultation in the surgery departnt. The patient was a provincial-level official nad Liao Hongsheng, who had found a nodule in his chest during a physical examination. This official was very anxious, although Yang Ping had already seen his CT scan and thought it was likely benign, with very little chance of malignancy, almost negligible. According to dical principles, such nodules could just be monitored regularly without any need for concern.
But as a leader in his pri at just fifty and in the midst of his career ascent, he wanted to be clear about his condition. If he insisted on knowing exactly what was going on, his options were surgery or biopsy. Surgery would be a big undertaking, which the leader was unwilling to undergo, so he preferred a biopsy. However, the nodule was too small, and without a very high level of skill, a biopsy would be impossible, with location being the problem.
Thus, they had to seek out Yang Ping. Arriving at the surgery departnt, Yang Ping exchanged pleasantries with the head of the departnt, had a couple of sips of tea, and then t with the leader in the eting Room.
”Professor Yang, hello, sorry to trouble you.” Director Liao was very polite and humble as he shook Yang Ping’s hand.
Yang Ping shook his hand in a perfunctory manner: “No need for formalities; it’s part of my job.”
Director Liao sat down, “Professor Yang, in your opinion, is there a high likelihood that this nodule is malignant?”
Director Liao had already asked this question countless tis to other doctors, but this was the first ti he posed it face to face with Yang Ping. Before this, Yang Ping had not t him, and he had communicated his assessnt of the scans through the Director of Surgery at the Overseas Chinese Building, and through his proxy, Song Zimo.
Today he was just stopping by to see his wife, so he took the opportunity to speak with him. Usually, there was no ti for such a personal visit, so Director Liao was quite fortunate.
Director Liao cherished this chance and tried to appear humble and modest while grasping the opportunity, showing the quality that he ought to possess.
Yang Ping thought for a mont and responded very decisively, with no equivocation, “The likelihood of it being malignant is minuscule. Based on the imaging, all signs point to benign.”
“In that case, I have decided to go ahead with a biopsy to obtain a pathological diagnosis, what do you think?” the leader always had a modest deanor.
Yang Ping was taken aback. If he believed the nodule was benign, shouldn’t all invasive tests be abandoned? A routine follow-up would suffice, and a reevaluation would only be needed if there was noticeable growth; if not, continued observation would be adequate.
But the leader’s thought process was different; it was crystal clear. If Yang Ping was uncertain about the nature of the nodule, the leader wouldn’t dare go for the biopsy and would have to temporize. Now that Yang Ping was very confident in the nature of the nodule, the fact that it couldn’t be confird with 100% certainty was rely a theoretical or procedural matter, and the leader could accurately grasp the aning from Yang Ping’s tone.
Since Yang Ping was confident, the leader wanted to secure a final diagnosis of benign, which was extrely important as it could impact his career prospects.
An equivocal finding versus one that has been confird not to affect health carries different implications.
“The nodule is very small, only 5 milliters in diater; theoretically, the biopsy would be quite challenging,” Yang Ping inford the leader.
The leader smiled and said, “That’s why I need to trouble Professor Yang with this matter.”
“It’s hardly any trouble; it’s just unnecessary. If you insist on a biopsy, I can try, but I can’t guarantee with 100% certainty that it will hit the mark. I have about an 80% success rate, with a 20% chance of failure,” Yang Ping couldn’t make absolute promises—clinical matters were never certain.
“Then I’ll trouble Professor Yang,” the leader was very happy inside, feeling a weight lift off his heart.
Because he had also inquired, in Professor Yang’s view, even the most assured surgeries had only an 80% guarantee. In reality, 80% was virtually the sa as 100%. With Professor Yang’s 80% assurance, the leader had a good sense of security, allowing him so peace of mind.
“Actually, there is nothing to worry about; at this age, it’s common for health screenings to reveal so dissatisfaction,” Yang Ping reassured the leader.
Health exams for middle-aged people are indeed tricky. Without screening, so issues may not be discovered early. With it, given the current lifestyle, it’s easy for a middle-aged person’s health report to flag a host of abnormalities, such as liver function abnormalities, elevated blood lipids, high uric acid, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, thyroid nodules, lung nodules, intestinal polyps, etc.—it’s easy for the report to hit on one or more of these.
Those who are hit with such abnormal indicators and have a good ntality manage well but those who don’t can easily beco anxious, experiencing days of poor eating and sleeping. After all, when young, everything was fine, but now seeing so many arrows on the health report can cause so concern, especially the dreaded nodules which can be quite frightening.
Director Liao’s situation was not easy; after years of hard work and finally being on the brink of promotion, such a nodule appeared on his health report, and its nature was not clear. This not only troubled him personally but could also potentially impact his career.
Health is highly valued within the system, as a healthy body is considered essential for revolution. A person in poor health is naturally unlikely to serve the people in a significant position, so a health screening report sotis can influence one’s future.
Now, with the lung nodule not yet classified, it’s easy for others to speculate, which could sowhat affect career prospects. However, if this nodule could ultimately be confird as benign, then the matter would be clear and not really count for much.
