Chapter 2083: with translation of title

Waiting for the test results was boring.

"Zheng Lao Ban, why do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" In the Zhibanshi, Zhou Litao was studying hard.

In Zhou Litao's view, at least a head CT was needed to confirm it, but Zheng Lao Ban never even mentioned doing a CT at the start.

After all the necessary tests were done, then the patient was sent for a CT. Clearly, in Zheng Lao Ban's view, this test was optional.

"Not only heavy metals, but mercury poisoning can also be confirmed." Su Yun smiled.

Zhou Litao was speechless.

"If there are problems at home but improvement on the road, that suggests the cerebral infarction isn't severe. Even if there is, it's just brief ischemia in the acute phase." Zheng Ren said, "A simple history plus urinary protein or the like makes the diagnosis clear."

"Mercury effectively suppresses melanin production, giving the skin a whitening effect; large‑scale epidemiological studies abroad have confirmed the toxicity of mercury‑containing cosmetics." Su Yun said, "In other words, whitening cosmetics basically all contain mercury."

"What about herbal whitening products?" Zhou Litao asked.

"You believe that?" Su Yun said contemptuously, "Manager Zhou, the four pillars of diagnosis—observation, listening, questioning, palpation—are the basis of Chinese medicine. You can't even take a pulse properly, do you really think there's a divine doctor?"

"Well, the prescriptions given by those divine doctors for skin diseases and lumbar disc herniation always contain some hormones." Zheng Ren chuckled, "It's a simple quack trick, but it works every time from ancient times to now."

"Mercury is also in whitening products—that's science, remember?"

"……" Zhou Litao silently watched Zheng Lao Ban and Su Yun.

"From now on, when you and your wife argue, buy her a bunch of whitening products. Praise her every day and insist they work well." Su Yun urged.

"Don't talk nonsense." Zheng Ren snapped, "Sister Lin just said that lately the smog in Di Du has been lighter, the sun stronger, she was afraid of getting tanned, so she used a lot of whitening cosmetics. Probably the dosage was too much, causing mercury poisoning."

"So… why is it still for sale?" Zhou Litao's indignant side flared.

"Manager Zhou." Su Yun looked at him like he was an idiot, silent for a few seconds, then said, "A few days ago, the patient who drank coffee and vitamin‑function beverages—do you remember?"

"I remember."

"Drinking too much water causes water intoxication, dilutional hyponatremia; severe cases can lead to permanent nervous system damage or death. Are you a med student? Don't you have any basic clinical knowledge?" Su Yun said scornfully, her black hair fluttering over her forehead.

"……"

Su Yun's retorts really come with proof. A few sentences left Zhou Litao speechless.

"Mm, a small amount is fine; the body can metabolize it on its own." Zheng Ren smiled and said, "Don't go to extremes, then there's no problem."

"Mm." Zhou Litao felt a bit embarrassed, nodding his head.

"Manager Zhou, I'm not saying this to blame you, but your skill at chatting with girls is terrible enough to make one's hair stand on end." Su Yun directly shifted the topic back.

Zhou Litao's complexion looked even worse this time.

One can learn common or obscure medical Knowledge points, but chatting with girls, for Zhou Litao, the mission difficulty is SSS-rank.

"You're courting death; forget about it, just properly sum up your experience and lessons." Su Yun said.

Zheng Ren immediately recalled the time he and Xie Yiren watched the sunrise; Su Yun this guy is just all talk.

"Don't just talk about Manager Zhou, how do you chat with girls?" Zheng Ren asked.

"I don't need to chat." Su Yun hehe laughed, "I just need to refuse; what's there to chat about."

Refusing… Zhou Litao shed two lines of single tears.

"Here, this: yesterday he asked for my WeChat, today he invited me to go out and play." Su Yun took out her phone, opened WeChat, and said.

Sure enough, on the chat interface there was a message that the friend request had been approved; below it was only one line of text.

【Got time, come out for a stroll?】

Zhou Litao's eyes went wide, but thinking about it, this is an era that judges by looks, so there's not much to say.

"Here, just like this." Su Yun said with a smile, "What would you do? Manager Zhou."

"Ask for leave!" Zhou Litao's gaze firm, "If the director doesn't grant it, I'll just take sick leave."

"Promising." Su Yun "praised" him.

"Yun Ge'er, if a girl told me this, I'd definitely ask for leave!"

"Alright." Su Yun put her phone away.

"Yun Ge'er, what would you say?" Zhou Litao asked curiously.

"I'm planning to tell her I've had an Amputation." Su Yun had no seriousness at all, speaking nonsense off the cuff.

"What if she pushes a wheelchair and strolls with you?"

"It's the upper body that's amputated." Su Yun blew a breath, her black hair in front of her forehead fluttering.

"I reckon that would make them even happier." Zhou Litao also got into it, unconsciously becoming vulgar as well.

However, this is all normal; during Operating Room drives, there are far more excessive things.

"Manager Zhou, you keep chatting with this for now; after you change your blind date partner, I'll give you some advice." Su Yun said with a smile.

Zhou Litao was about to speak when the 120 emergency alarm blared.

His buttocks seemed to have a spring installed; he jumped up instantly and ran to the door.

"Internal Medicine! Patient fainted from eating bananas." A dozen seconds later, the nurse shouted.

The doctor from Surgical 120 looked relieved and affectionate as he watched the internal medicine doctor jog over, heading along the emergency passage to the 120 emergency rescue vehicle.

This is a time of comparing luck; every doctor will pray to the night-shift god before sleep, asking for protection to get through this night safely and smoothly.

"Have you taken the medicine?" Zhou Litao asked, "Call Xiao Sui and tell him to pay attention to the medicine bottle."

Regarding the just-mentioned matter of fainting from eating bananas, Zhou Litao considered it a miscommunication.

"No, it's said to be nausea and vomiting, lips turning purple, unresponsive. The patient's surroundings had a large amount of banana peels, not like poisoning." The nurse said.

Banana peels…

This thing isn't poisonous at all.

Zheng Ren silently looked at Zhou Litao; Su Yun gave a sly smile, not knowing what else she had thought of.

"Banana poisoning?" Zhou Litao said in astonishment, "Impossible, although bananas contain a lot of potassium, how big can a person's appetite be? How much can one eat…… Zheng Lao Ban, Yun Ge'er, is there data on how many catties of bananas would cause poisoning?"

"……"

Even someone like Zheng Ren, a show-off, doesn't know this data.

"Impossible." Zheng Ren said firmly.

"That's because you lack experience." Su Yun, as usual, retorted just to retort. He said contemptuously: "On the livestream site, there's a food-eating livestream host, a skinny girl, who livestreams eating 28 Big Pig Trotters."

Zheng Ren continued to stay silent.

This is no longer my world—eating 28 pig trotters? I can't even be bothered to eat one. After finishing, my jaw muscles would feel Uncomfortable, feeling like there's a large buildup of lactic acid inside.

If I really had to eat 28 pig trotters, I don't know if my stomach would handle it—just lactic acid poisoning would be deadly.
