Chapter 571: Not a Single Fart Is Worthy of Trust

Three days ago.

As Ji Xiang listened to Director Zou explain the use of various gastrointestinal endoscopes, his mind suddenly stirred, and he arrived at the System Operating Room.

"Teacher." Ji Xiang bowed in salute.

The System NPC looked at Ji Xiang with a smile, "What is it?"

"I heard from Teacher Zou that patients are very uncomfortable during an Ordinary Gastrointestinal Endoscope procedure."

"That is indeed the case," the System NPC said, "especially at the splenic flexure of the colon. Some patients cannot get through it at all due to severe pain during an intestinal endoscope, which is why the later Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscope came about."

The System NPC looked at Ji Xiang and smiled slightly, "Want to try it?"

"Emmmm..."

Ji Xiang did not agree immediately; he hesitated for a moment.

The System NPC had seen countless people and knew Ji Xiang like the back of his hand. Seeing him ponder, he said, "You want to try every kind of sensation so that you can understand the patients' experiences in the future and carry out your work better, is that what you mean?"

"Teacher, if it is very uncomfortable, can I come back immediately?" Ji Xiang asked tentatively.

The System NPC's expression was slightly strange, but he immediately laughed out loud.

"Of course you can."

An average person who has experienced Empathy hundreds of times, having gone through fractures, terminal cancer, surgeries, and a whole series of torments, would inevitably develop the idea that they are invincible.

But Ji Xiang was different.

The more Empathy he experienced, the more cautious he became, rather than becoming increasingly arrogant and flamboyant.

Both cautious and timid, he lacked the flamboyant and overbearing air of a young man.

"Thank you, Teacher." Ji Xiang let out a long breath and bowed deeply.

"Actually, the pain level of a gastrointestinal endoscope is about the same as Urological Calculus or a fracture, and it is controllable," the System NPC said.

"Heh." Ji Xiang did not explain.

"Follow me." The System NPC led Ji Xiang into the adjacent Operating Room.

Light and shadow flickered. Ji Xiang closed his eyes slightly, and upon opening them, he found medicine placed in front of him.

After a brief recollection, it turned out that his gastrointestinal tract had been uncomfortable for a long time, and fearing a Tumor, he wanted to have a gastrointestinal endoscope to take a look.

The medicine should be Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Powder and Compound Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate.

In Clinical practice, Polyethylene Glycol Electrolyte Powder is mainly used for intestinal endoscopy or preoperative preparation.

This medicine contains formulated electrolytes, which can effectively prevent the electrolyte exchange of the human intestinal fluid and has a strong laxative effect.

In most cases, defecation will gradually occur half an hour to an hour after taking the medicine, until the stool contains no fecal residue and is completely watery.

Drink it, drink it; after finishing it, I'll experience the bowel cleansing myself, Ji Xiang thought to himself while weighing the medicine.

Subsequently, Ji Xiang drank the prepared medicine.

The medicine did not taste bad. Although Ji Xiang acknowledged the drug's effect, he could not feel the pain when the knife had not yet fallen on him.

Perhaps it won't have much effect, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

In less than 20 minutes, Ji Xiang felt it.

His stomach began to rumble, as if the medicine had broken the seal on his body, and some big shot from another dimension was about to travel through time and space to arrive in this world through his gastrointestinal tract.

Suddenly, Ji Xiang thought of a story someone once wrote in an internet novel about giving birth to 1,000 babies in a row; his current situation was very similar to what was described in the book.

Countless "contents" from another dimension were already eager to try.

Ji Xiang had the urge to pass gas. He habitually tested it first, but the moment his anal sphincter relaxed, a warm current was ready to burst forth.

It's over!

After taking the medicine, not a single fart can be trusted. Ji Xiang hurriedly stood up.

With the movement of his body, the gastrointestinal tract in his abdominal cavity writhed even more joyfully.

At this instant, Ji Xiang even felt that the strength of his anal sphincter could no longer restrain the existence that had traveled from another dimension inside his body.

This experience was extremely strange. Ji Xiang's face turned pale, and he ran toward the bathroom in an extremely twisted posture.

Fortunately, he was at home and didn't have to wait for a stall.

If he were in a hospital, Ji Xiang didn't know if he could hold it in.

No, he definitely couldn't hold it in.

Although it was only a few short steps, to Ji Xiang, it felt longer than a half-marathon.

The feeling that every fart is not to be trusted was terrible, ten thousand times worse than he had imagined.

The moment he sat on the toilet, Ji Xiang finally settled down.

Pitter-patter, whoosh-splash...

The melody of that song by Fan Xiaoxuan from decades ago echoed in Ji Xiang's heart; the feeling of a torrential downpour was comfortable to the extreme.

But comfortable as it was, Ji Xiang discovered a problem—he couldn't stand up at all.

The feeling was gone, but after flushing the toilet and pulling up his pants, that untrustworthy fart appeared again.

Seriously, damn it!

Ji Xiang sat helplessly on the toilet.

He was very glad, and finally understood why the vast majority of intestinal endoscopes require patients to clean their bowels at home a day in advance.

If he were in the hospital, how could there be so many squatting stalls?

Moreover, squatting for a long time is prone to problems.

It would be much better at home. Although he was constantly worried about issues like rectal prolapse, Ji Xiang was still convinced by the untrustworthy fart and stayed sitting on the toilet, refusing to get up no matter what.

As the drug's effect deepened, Ji Xiang felt as if his intestines were being rinsed over and over again by a high-pressure water hose.

He had prepared water in the bathroom in advance, which came in handy at this moment.

After drinking several bottles of purified water, he felt no stomach bloating at all; Ji Xiang felt as if he had turned into a straight pipe.

Every drop of water drunk became a part of the untrusted fart.

The whole process, while uncomfortable, was not actually that bad; it absolutely could not compare to Urological Calculus or being thrown onto the scene of a car accident with a bone fracture.

The only thing that left a deep impression on Ji Xiang was the untrusted fart.

About an hour and a half later, the untrusted fart finally disappeared.

Ji Xiang's body was sticky with sweat.

This was much more tiring than running a half-marathon, Ji Xiang thought to himself.

His body felt slightly weak, but he still insisted on taking a shower before lying down.

The night passed without incident; Ji Xiang dreamed of having a Gastrointestinal Endoscope the next day, and also dreamed of the lingering untrusted fart.

Early the next morning, the untrusted fart still lingered in Ji Xiang's mind.

Having been exposed to Clinical work more often, Ji Xiang was almost immune to jokes about excrement and flatulence. But this time was different; the untrusted fart had become a nightmare.

However, the effects of the medicine had passed, and there was nothing left to discharge in his intestines, so Ji Xiang arrived at the hospital feeling quite relaxed.

There were not many people getting a Painless Gastrointestinal Endoscope, and Ji Xiang was the third.

After changing clothes, wearing that skirt modified from a patient gown, his lower body felt chilly; Ji Xiang recalled that whether it was high socks or skirts, they seemed to have been worn by men in the beginning.

He would get used to it; it was only for the duration of the examination anyway.

In less than half an hour, the Doctor called Ji Xiang's name.

Entering the Endoscopy Room, a Doctor was holding a pitch-black tube, the tip of the long, thin tube glowing, as if they were a big boss wielding an Epic weapon.

He turned his head and looked at Ji Xiang with a kind expression, "Lie down."
