Chapter 2288: with translation of chapter title

"People say the only thing one Persistence to the end without giving up in this life is drinking yogurt with a straw." Su Yun held the bottle, a teasing smile appeared on her face.

They were relaxed, seeing the child was fine, they started joking.

"Ah? What does that mean?" Lin Yuan saw the bottle being taken out intact, also let out a breath. They didn't even think about what Su Yun said, and directly asked.

"Zizizi—nonstop sucking." Su Yun laughed and said: "At a glance, it's a rich kid—they don't lick the yogurt lid, they don't lick the drink bottle."

"" Zheng Ren was speechless, removed the sterile gloves, "It's fine, Manager Zhou will give the child a hormone."

"Oh oh." Zhou Litao immediately responded, turned and went to tell the surgeon to prescribe medicine.

This is an emergency measure to reduce tongue swelling. If it stays swollen, it could lead to other problems.

They had just opened the door when the outside crowd almost surged in, pushing and shoving.

no.

"I saw a doctor holding an empty bottle."

no.

Outside, the onlookers chattered excitedly.

"Scatter, scatter, go see a doctor, go home if you're fine, don't linger here." Zhou Litao, now at leisure, began to disperse the surrounding crowd.

After retrieving dexamethasone, they gave the brat a shot; the rest was just hospitalization observation.

"Doctor, is it alright?" The brat's mother held them, tears in her eyes, asked.

"Oh, it should be fine. Be careful these days; estimated 3-5 days, the tongue's bruising and swelling will gradually subside." Zheng Ren said.

"Thank you, thank you." The woman held the brat, repeatedly doing Jiu Gong.

"It's fine." Zheng Ren waved their hand, Zhou Litao took them to complete the hospitalization observation procedures.

The front part of the tongue gets stuck in the narrow bottle opening, causing tongue edema, simultaneously leading to tongue ischemia, damaging capillaries, causing pain, ultimately affecting the child's breathing and threatening their life.

Although it was removed, who knows if the tongue will continue to show obvious swelling, possibly causing breathing obstruction.

no.

"Zheng Lao Ban, thanks." Zhou Litao now recalls, still feeling lingering fear.

"Don't be polite." Zheng Ren laughed, "Right, the patient who was just taken for peritoneal dialysis confirmed the metal necklace is inside the intestinal tract."

Zhou Litao just experienced an incident, almost forgetting the patient who ate the necklace. Zheng Ren reminded, and then they remembered.

Going to look at the fluoroscopy images, I felt that Zheng Lao Ban's work was meticulous. The two images proved the metal necklace was still moving in the intestinal tract, making expulsion highly likely.

Still under observation, Zhou Litao handed these matters to the on-duty doctor, then rushed into their own Zhibanshi.

"Zheng Lao Ban, today is really busy." Zhou Litao smiled sheepishly.

"Hey." Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren, their smile hinting at malice.

Zheng Ren knew the subtext—it was all trouble they caused themselves.

Regarding this, Zheng Ren themselves denied it. It's like they have no connection; it seems that when they're not around, Hai Cheng's Manager Wang is as idle as a dog.

Thinking of Manager Wang, they seemed to be about to return.

"What's up with the patient who ate the necklace?" Zhou Litao asked: "Are they trying to commit suicide?"

"No, preliminary consideration is dream-eating syndrome." Zheng Ren said.

"Um, dream-eating syndrome?" Zhou Litao froze for a moment, Lin Yuan also froze.

"Dream-eating syndrome, is it an extreme evolution of sleepwalking?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Hmm, supposedly that's the case." Zheng Ren said.

"Some people suffer from sleepwalking and eating disorder at the same time; since these individuals indeed cannot control their appetite while sleepwalking, experts also call this dream-eating syndrome nighttime eating disorder, or sleep-related eating disorder." Su Yun took out a cigarette, offered one to Zheng Ren, and casually said.

no.

"Generally, patients with dream-eating syndrome, when they dream of eating at night, go straight for high-calorie foods. Such as sweet and sticky foods—ice cream, chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and honey—are their favorites, even if they avoid these foods when awake."

"Is it because they're hungry?" Zhou Litao asked.

"Who knows, extreme individuals, unable to find anything to eat, might even eat raw meat and such." Zheng Ren said: "It's probably a spontaneous bodily response."

"Oh, I remember!" Lin Yuan happily said: "Dream-eating syndrome is generally triggered by mental stress, causing hormone imbalance, and nighttime eating may be an unconscious behavior of the body self-treating emotional issues and releasing stress."

"Pretty much that's what it means; Mei Mei said they also have the problem of dream-eating syndrome."

no.

no.

"Hey, not watching entertainment shows, I really don't know." Zhou Litao gave an embarrassed laugh, "Why is they called Mei Mei?"

"Not 'beauty', but the 'mei' of misfortune."

"" Zhou Litao speechless, "Are there any celebrities called that?"

"Yun Ge'er, this nickname is said by anti-fans, right? Just like at someone's concert where people burn incense and make wishes." Zhou Litao asked.

"No, it's the anti-fans themselves who call them that." Su Yun said, "Every time Taylor Swift has a strong single that hits the Billboard Hot 100 number one, they encounter all kinds of monsters, extremely unlucky to end up as runner-up. Moreover, Taylor's birthday is the 13th, and in the West 13 is considered a bad luck number."

no.

Zheng Ren indicated they knew nothing about this; if it weren't for the dream-eating syndrome connection, they wouldn't know about the singer Taylor Swift.

"This is just the surface meaning; actually I think the main reason is that Mei Mei frequently changes boyfriends and likes to write boyfriends into songs." Su Yun looked at Zhou Litao, "Manager Zhou, you say if you were friends with Mei Mei, in the end you'd be written into……"

Before they finished speaking, Zhou Litao jumped up in fright, waving both hands, "No way, no way, I wouldn't dare."

no.

"Does Mei Mei have dream-eating syndrome?" Lin Yuan only now had time to follow up.

"Mei Mei says they get up in the middle of the night to go to the fridge to find something to eat, after eating they continue sleeping, and all of this happens in dreams." Su Yun said.

no.

"Currently there's not much good treatment; a similar condition to dream-eating syndrome is called night-eating syndrome." Zheng Ren said, "Both disorders are nighttime sleep and eating intertwined. Night-eating syndrome occurs when fully awake eating, while dream-eating syndrome occurs during deep sleep eating."

"What should we do about that patient?" Zhou Litao really Worry the patient might eat some random messy stuff again at midnight; if they get sick from eating it at the Hospital, it's all over.

Let's go see the Psychology Department, there shouldn't be any problem.
