Chapter 2437: 2352 How Come You're Like a Child?

Liu Xu zhi wore a bitter expression looking at Zheng Lao Ban; although doing Shou Bing is work, for Liu Xu zhi it is not merely work but a means of sustaining life.

Living in Di Du, to support a family, who doesn't need money?

Nursing an illness? That doesn't exist.

One day without work means one day without income.

For Liu Xu zhi, the best medicine is to finish Shou Bing each day, and Lin JiaoJiao pulls out stack after stack of cash.

Nothing in the world smells better than cash.

Now not letting himself do Shou Bing……Zheng Lao Ban……in an instant, Liu Xu zhi felt his heart attack about to flare again.

A vague throbbing pain came from the heart beneath the sternum, and Liu Xu zhi's face turned white in an instant.

"Zheng Lao Ban, Old Liu isn't seriously ill, is he?" Lin JiaoJiao carefully glanced at Liu Xu zhi's fingers several times; there was no opening, just redness and swelling, plus Liu Xu zhi had a low fever.

Probably just a cold; Zheng Lao Ban likely overreacted, Lin JiaoJiao thought.

"It doesn't look like a necrotizing fasciitis infection." Su Yun lifted Liu Xu zhi's right hand, examining it under the operating room light, as if checking the watermark in the middle of soft currency.

Seeing Su Yun's unserious demeanor, Zheng Renye could neither laugh nor cry.

"The symptoms match somewhat; be careful, this is a disease that can kill people." Zheng Ren said solemnly.

"Dead person……" Those words startled Liu Xu zhi.

"Boss isn't trying to scare you; it doesn't look like it, I think he's just too tense." Su Yun said, "Necrotizing fasciitis isn't a single bacterium; it refers to necrotizing fasciitis caused by various bacteria, a general term for streptococci or other bacteria that can damage muscle tissue."

"Yeah, Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci are types of necrotizing fasciitis." Zheng Ren said, "Because these bacteria infect the subcutaneous fascia causing inflammation, the clinical course is rapid and severe, with high mortality, so they are collectively called necrotizing fasciitis."

After one patient was sent away and the next came up, Zheng Ren stood up, "I'm going to do Shou Bing, Su Yun you explain necrotizing fasciitis to Old Liu."

Having said that, he looked seriously at Liu Xu zhi and said in a low voice, "Don't be careless; this can be fatal."

"Here, Boss is being extra cautious; doesn't it make you feel disgusted inside?" Su Yun asked with a chuckle.

Liu Xu zhi moved his mouth, but didn't know how to answer Su Yun's words.

"Old Liu, we're not in Pengxi Xiang now; any problem still needs treatment. The body is the capital for doing Shou Bing; if your body collapses and you die, your wife and kids will have to roll up their bedding and return home."

Su Yun described a scene; in Liu Xu zhi's ears rang the howling northwest wind of a frigid winter month in his hometown. The wind swept up pure white snow, striking his face, his heart turned icy.

"Yun Ge'er, it's just Staphylococcus aureus, right? In the hospital it doesn't seem like a big deal." Lin JiaoJiao asked.

She watched Zheng Lao Ban go in to position the patient, then put on lead clothing and scrub her hands, feeling somewhat conflicted.

If Zheng Lao Ban could come here every day to do Shou Bing, how great that would be. If that were the case, Liu Xu zhi getting sick would almost be a good thing.

But Zheng Lao Ban said, after finishing the current patient, take a break, don't accept more patients for now. Although it affects short-term profits, from another angle it could be considered a kind of hunger marketing.

Lin JiaoJiao chatted with Su Yun while thinking randomly.

"Sister Lin, you don't know how serious it is." Su Yun said, "In the hospital, once a problem is detected, we definitely control it early with medication, so you think Staphylococcus aureus isn't serious."

"But that's bacteria the body contacts or produces via the respiratory tract and other ways. Old Liu's case……let's assume it's necrotizing fasciitis, that……right, Old Liu, do you eat raw or cooked fish?"

Su Yun's thoughts shifted extremely fast; one sentence switched two or three trains of thought.

"Raw." Liu Xu zhi answered blankly.

"You, you just use chopsticks to pick the best bits and eat a few pieces; why gnaw on the shrimp shells?" Su Yun complained.

"Back home, I've never eaten such fresh seafood……" Liu Xu zhi murmured in defense.

"Call the waiter for another serving; if it's not enough, just wrap up all the shrimp in the shop." Su Yun said boldly, "Next time remember to directly call the waiter and have her bring another portion according to the menu."

"……" Liu Xu zhi was speechless.

"After the previous serving? I couldn't say something like that myself."

"The inactivation temperature for Staphylococcus aureus and streptococci is basically around 70°C; cooked, there's definitely no problem. If eaten raw, there really could be an infection. The necrotizing fasciitis bacteria carried on seafood enter the fascia directly; once necrotizing fasciitis occurs, it's troublesome."

"A few days ago I met a patient with marine divergent bacillus infection in the Emergency Department with Boss. That bacterium isn't a big issue, onset is slow, there's plenty of time to handle it. Yours is different—onset is rapid, and every year people die from necrotizing fasciitis infection."

Seeing Su Yun speak so plausibly, Lin JiaoJiao quietly asked, "Yun Ge'er, it really can kill people, huh."

"Necrotizing fasciitis can enter the body through tiny skin wounds, and its toxicity is strong, so those with weak resistance cannot fend it off." Su Yun said, "Old Liu does interventional Shou Bing every day; X-ray radiation lowers his bodily immunity, so after being pricked yesterday he started a low fever today—this is his body actually reacting."

"Although Boss is more likely overreacting, still rest two days. Sister Lin, you can't be like Zhou Piba, exploiting the surplus value of industrial workers to death."

Lin JiaoJiao knew Su Yun was joking; although she felt sorry, she knew she had no room to refuse. Zheng Lao Ban and Yun Ge'er had both spoken seriously about this; if she still disagreed, could she really fall out with them over a few days' Shou Bing volume?

"Old Liu, I know you're unwilling, but this isn't negotiable." Su Yun said firmly, "Young people cry for love; you cry for poverty, Boss knows that. But it's not a big deal to take two days off, rest, and not do Shou Bing—I'm telling you."

"Oh." Liu Xu zhi nodded, wondering how to tell Director Zhu about this matter.

"However I think it's not likely, but we still need to observe. Old Liu, you need to note whether your fingers hurt."

"Not painful."

"I didn't mean you now, but in the past few days, once you feel pain you must pay attention. Eating shrimp you gnaw the shells—you tell me. A few days ago I encountered a small patient who sucked juice bottles; in the end Boss pumped air into it and knocked the bottle loose. His tongue turned black and bluish; luckily it was early, otherwise a few hours later it would have necrotized."

"You say you, how are you just like a child."

Su Yun's words were somewhat scattered, his thoughts shifted extremely fast, Liu Xu zhi could barely keep up with his pace.
