Chapter 2711: with translation of title

Title: 2613.2514 Can hair follicles really grow on the sole of the foot – no named entities.

"Taking a few steps on the ground, I feel something is wrong." Zheng Ren looked at the patient and said seriously.

When did 912 become like this? The patient is a bit confused. Isn't it said that the doctors here are so busy they see over a hundred patients a day, not even having time to drink water?

What on earth has happened to me? Could it be that I've been scammed? In an instant, rumors started popping up in his mind—like certain hospitals outsourcing certain clinics, and so on.

To be honest, the patient himself didn't even think his foot pain was a big deal. He came to the hospital just to check whether it was a fracture. If it's not a fracture, then he'll just let it heal slowly—what else could he do?

Time is a good medicine; that saying isn't wrong in a certain sense.

But now he was suddenly surrounded by four or five doctors on the examination bed; the patient felt dazed and didn't know what to do.

"Boss, do you think it's a tendon problem?" Su Yun asked: "Just now I saw Manager Zhou doing a checkup, and there's nothing wrong."

"No." Zheng Ren shook his head, ignored Su Yun, and looked at the patient, saying: "First walk on your tiptoes and see if it hurts."

The patient nodded, his painful foot slipping in his shoe, and following Zheng Ren's instruction, he touched the ground with his tiptoes and took a few light steps.

"Does it hurt?" Zheng Ren asked.

"No." The patient shook his head, thinking this young doctor wasn't very good at diagnosing. His heel hurt—how could walking on his tiptoes hurt? He couldn't even understand what was being said, yet he's supposed to be a doctor—how could he treat a patient?

"Try putting weight on your heel instead." Zheng Ren continued.

"…" The patient looked embarrassed, he really didn't want to try, and immediately said: "Doctor, at home I always walk on my tiptoes. My heel can't touch the ground at all—if it does, it's a piercing pain."

"Sit down, let me take a look." Zheng Ren nodded, turned to Lin Yuan, and said: "Get a mask and gloves."

"Eh!" Lin Yuan responded, turned and went to the treatment room to fetch a disposable mask and thin film gloves, then handed them to Zheng Ren.

The patient's foot odor was so strong that even without a mask, Zheng Ren still felt a bit uneasy about getting close.

Regarding Zheng Ren's actions, the patient had no other thoughts; he was already used to it. When Zheng Ren put on a mask, he actually felt his mental pressure ease considerably.

"Doctor, just prescribe some medicine—no redness or swelling, as long as it's not a fracture." Seeing Zheng Ren wearing a mask, the patient fell silent, realizing Zheng Ren was holding his breath to examine the sole of his foot carefully. Feeling guilty and a bit nervous, afraid of being deceived, he explained.

"These thin gloves won't do; get me a pair of sterile gloves." Zheng Ren's hands made a light rustling sound twice as he spoke, slightly dissatisfied.

"Oh…" Lin Yuan hesitated, but whatever Boss Zheng says goes—it's an ironclad rule in the medical team, deeply ingrained in Lin Yuan's mind.

"Boss, isn't that too wasteful?" Su Yun muttered from behind: "If you do this, even the head nurse of the emergency department wouldn't dare say anything to you, but Manager Zhou might end up getting strung up and beaten."

Zheng Ren said nothing, waiting for Lin Yuan to sprint back, quickly putting on sterile gloves, and began searching the patient's sole for that hair.

It was originally a B-rank task, but with that sour, smelly odor reminiscent of love, it instantly became an S-rank task.

Zheng Ren narrowed his eyes, feeling tears starting to well up.

"There's a problem here, do you see it?" Zheng Ren said, pointing his finger at the patient's sole.

"Where?" Su Yun glanced, saw no redness or swelling, no sign of injury, and asked in surprise.

"Where?" Zhou Litao also asked in unison.

Zheng Ren sat up straight, leaned back slightly, trying to stay as far away from the sweaty foot as possible.

If the patient had emotional issues, Zheng Ren wouldn't show it so obviously. But the patient clearly had expectations—probably the kind where he doesn't wash his feet at home and his wife won't let him in bed—so Zheng Ren didn't hold back.

"There's a hair, about two centimeters long." Zheng Ren said, "Look closely."

Hearing that, not only Su Yun and Zhou Litao but even the patient became curious and wanted to look at his own sole.

"Don't move—if you move, we won't be able to see it." Su Yun immediately stopped the patient's movement, saying: "Huh? There really is? Hair follicles on the sole? No way!"

"Doctor, what did you see?" the patient asked anxiously.

"Why are you so quick to believe?" Su Yun retorted: "It's just a single hair—what's there to see? Anyway, it's growing on your own body; once we figure it out, you can go home and stare at your foot for as long as you like."

「……」 => none.

The patient was speechless, thinking the doctor made sense, yet something still felt off.

"It shouldn't be caused by hair follicles on the sole." Zheng Ren said calmly: "Most of human skin is exposed, which is unique among primates…"

He had just said that when Zheng Ren's words were cut off by Su Yun.

"Boss, I think the book written by Professor Nina of the University of Pennsylvania is too obscure." Su Yun said, "I think humans are extraterrestrial beings, fundamentally not native to Earth."

"……"

Zhou Litao felt a sudden scorn in his heart, estimating that even Darwin's coffin lid couldn't be held down.

Seeing Zhou Litao's expression, Su Yun knew what he was thinking, and she sneered: "In the 1920s, Soviet biologist Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov began attempting to create hybrids between humans and chimpanzees."

"Hybrid……human……"

Zhou Litao muttered.

"You're saying he's anti-human, right? I can tell from your expression." Su Yun said, "This is scientific research."

"Black technology……"

"Professor Ivanov conducted a series of experiments, attempting to create a hybrid offspring of humans and non-human apes."

"These experiments included using human sperm to artificially inseminate female chimpanzees and using ape sperm to inseminate human women, and even transplanting a woman's ovary into a female chimpanzee named Nora, then inseminating her with human sperm, but none achieved the goal."

"This is illegal!!" Lin Yuan, upon hearing Su Yun say this, immediately rebuked.

"Yeah, it's definitely illegal. Back when astronomers invented the telescope and studied Earth's orbit around the Sun, that was also illegal." Su Yun said coldly.

This nitpicking is overly professional, secretly swapping concepts, hiding the unfavorable side, and immediately firing back.

Su Yun is professional at doing this kind of thing, and it's state-recognized.

Lin Yuan frowned, feeling something was off. Her CPU raced, and she quickly pinpointed the problem.

But just as she opened her mouth to retort, Zheng Ren said: 'Horses have 64 chromosomes, donkeys have 62; each parent contributes half, producing a mule with 63 chromosomes that is incapable of reproduction.'
