Chapter 3160: line with translation of chapter title

Is it the side effect of the Lan grass ointment? Zheng Ren still had some doubts, but the instructions are right here, so we can't directly say it's counterfeit.

According to the standards for hormone use, conditions like central obesity are possible, but how does avascular necrosis of the femoral head occur? When large amounts of hormone shock therapy are used, avascular necrosis of the femoral head may occur.

In Hai Cheng, I also encountered rural workers who, after finishing work, take little white pills, which ultimately lead to problems with the femoral head.

But for a topical medication, only using Lan grass ointment to bathe daily will this strange situation occur. After all — it's just a 2‑year‑old child.

"Doctor Zhao, what health products do you usually give the child?" Zheng Ren pondered for a long time, then finally asked.

"They're just some common things; even friends' kids take them. Calcium supplements, vitamin supplements, that sort of medicine." Doctor Zhao said, his eye sockets reddened, and tears pattered down.

"Who usually takes care of the child?"

"After work I take care of him, but we work three‑day shifts, so basically more than half the time we're in the hospital. I brought my mother from home to help, afraid the elderly lady would get tired, so I had no choice but to hire a nanny as well."

Zheng Ren nodded, thought for a moment, then asked, "When can the medicine be delivered?"

"Soon."

"Then I won't disturb the child's sleep; I'll go wait in the office."

After leaving the Zhibanshi, Lin JiaoJiao asked, "Zheng Lao Ban, the child's appearance is definitely a sign of hormone overuse."

"Yes, let's see what medicines he usually takes first. Lan grass ointment…… there's a high chance it contains Hormone, but we can't rule out other medicines that contain Hormone."

"In the Lai Zhou county town near Hai Cheng, there's a divine doctor; do you know about it?" Su Yun suddenly asked.

"I don't know. What's up?"

"It's said to be very effective for treating lumbar disc protrusion, an ancestral Chinese medicine, external application shows effect in one day." Su Yun said, "My mother insists on buying it for my father; I said a couple of things, and she lashed out at me from head to toe."

"……" Zheng Ren truly couldn't figure out Su Yun's family situation.

But if it were me, it would probably be similar. The claim of a "ancestral" secret formula that works in one day is especially effective at deceiving the elderly. Older people of that generation especially believe in this, and one could even say they are somewhat blindly following.

Actually, from a doctor's perspective, what's in such an effective secret formula? Surely it's Hormone!

It works quickly, with no short‑term side effects, adding a touch of mystery and reputation to jianghu divine doctors. But what Zheng Ren can't understand is why, afterward, the symptoms flare up intermittently, the condition never really improves, yet those who bought the ointment never speak about it.

This is a matter of psychology; Zheng Ren shook his head, smiling, and asked, "You wouldn't have quarreled with your mother, would you?"

"It was a huge fight!" Su Yun blew out a breath, her black hair fluttering in front of her forehead, "My mom says I'm unfilial; all I know is to run around outside every day. I don't care, and I won't let her control me; if I'd known I'd turn out like this, I should have been strangled early on."

"What the aunt said makes some sense." Zheng Ren rarely snapped sarcastically.

"Nonsense!" Su Yun said, "The teacher I contacted at Xiehe, after looking at the scans, said my dad's condition belongs to the type with severe symptoms but actually not serious. If you want to treat it, you can just do the surgery. But as soon as they mention post-surgery side effects, they refuse. Xiehe, that's Xiehe!"

"Then what happened?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Just apply the divine medicine externally, my mom said, the divine medicine packet is good." Su Yun was somewhat angry.

When encountering such a thing, nobody can really do anything. Otherwise, those scammers who daily give free science lectures in the community, giving eggs to anyone who attends the Lesson, would have disappeared.

"You say we won't be like that when we're old, right?" Su Yun asked.

"I don't know, I've thought about this problem, but I couldn't imagine what the situation would be like then." Zheng Ren said, "Who knows what worldview-shaking events will happen in these years; maybe there will be some great disaster requiring us to stockpile toilet paper."

"Boss, I admire your imagination."

Lin JiaoJiao covered her mouth and chuckled on the side.

Stockpiling toilet paper……If there were a great disaster, shouldn't we be stockpiling rice, flour, oil, drinking water and other daily necessities instead? Toilet paper……What the hell is that.

It seems Zheng Lao Ban is truly an otaku; his thoughts always go to toilet paper.

Imagine, if you were isolated from the world for one month, and when you came out you found the streets empty, no people, no cars, the whole world like that, everyone crouched at home, bored and dazed.

"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense." Su Yun said contemptuously, "What are you thinking?"

Zheng Ren smiled.

"Zheng Lao Ban, your imagination is truly great, do you often watch disaster movies?" Lin JiaoJiao laughed.

"Nothing much, I occasionally read novels; some post-apocalyptic wasteland novels are written like that."

"The author still wrote about stockpiling toilet paper? Nonsense, normally in such times there would be superpowers, genetic modification, then grinding monsters and leveling up. Add some brothers' hot-blooded passion, for example, if you were bitten by a zombie, I would wait until the very last second before you mutate to kill you, that kind of plot that highlights humanity." Su Yun said disdainfully.

As they were chatting, Doctor Zhao walked in, holding a bag in his hand.

"Teacher Zheng, Teacher Su, this is the medicine the child usually takes." Doctor Zhao said, "The commonly used ones are these."

Speaking, she took out the medicine box of Orchid Grass Ointment and another two boxes.

Zheng Ren glanced, a fifty- or sixty-year-old elderly person stood at the entrance, face full of gloom.

This should be the child's grandmother, who usually takes care of the child. A family of three, both spouses work, in Di Du to support the family and raise a child, it's indeed not easy.

Thinking of this, Zheng Renxian picked up the Orchid Grass Ointment and glanced at it, seeing nothing unusual. What the instructions say matches what was found online exactly. If following the instructions, there would surely be no problem, but Zheng Renxian didn't believe it.

"Su Yun, sending it for testing after paying, how long does the procedure take?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Normally it takes 1-2 weeks, just waiting in line." Su Yun said, "If you're in a hurry, go find Lin Chu, say it's a public health incident."

"……" Zheng Ren glared at Su Yun.

Public health incident, this is to directly blow up the matter, push it to the top.

"What's that expression, do you know how much this little thing sells in a year?" Su Yun said, "I don't know how many people use it daily; if it really contains hormone, seriously speaking, this would be a public health incident."

Regarding Su Yun's forced arguments, Zheng Ren felt there was still some sense.

"Then you give Lin Chu a call, also don't say public health incident, just say help rush the testing of a medicine to see if it contains hormone." Zheng Ren said, picking up another medicine.

The main ingredient of this medicine is lysine, a basic essential amino acid.

Reporter: You possess extraordinary personal charm.

Fang Jue: No no no, I don't see it that way; I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable coach.
