Zheng Ren was also stunned.
His heart was very relaxed. The nervousness and anxiety from before had dissipated, and his rock-like body actually felt a little tired.
"Chief Cheng, you're too polite. It's good that the patient is fine." Although the diagnosis was clear, Zheng Ren still spoke respectfully.
"He'll be fine after taking the medicine, right?" Chief Cheng asked cautiously.
"Stay in the hospital. Go to the endocrinology department and inform the hospital to coordinate. Also, call the police and find the source of the food, "Zheng Ren said.
"Uh …" Chief Cheng did not expect Boss Zheng to call the police. What did he mean?
"Let's finish the things at hand first, then I'll explain to you." Zheng Ren smiled and said, "I think it's due to excessive intake of food-derived thyroxine."
As he spoke, he took out his phone.
"Director Lin, it's me."
"There's a mass poisoning incident in the emergency department …"
"It's okay, it's under control. There are 17 patients now, and a few of them left the hospital on their own. They're still being rescued."
"Yes, he needs to be hospitalized … No, not the gastroenterology department, but the endocrinology department. Could you please help me coordinate this? I'm too busy here. "
Department Chief Cheng was a little confused. Why was Boss Zheng so familiar with the people from the medical administration division?
His tone was very relaxed, as if he wasn't talking to himself. There was a sense of unfamiliarity and politeness in his tone.
However, this matter was very easy to think about. The other party's ability was there. This time, he had helped him solve such a big problem. In the future, he was afraid that he would have to lower his head in front of Boss Zheng.
At the thought of this, Chief Cheng felt ashamed.
The background image in his mind was still Boss Zheng bowing ninety degrees to him and begging him not to let the patient leave at will.
Fortunately, he stayed for a few more hours and was not too far away from the patients. There was almost no delay. If this continued for a few more hours, a group of patients would experience thyroid crises one after the other …
Thinking of this, Chief Cheng's head buzzed with pain.
But who would have thought that the symptoms of a gastrointestinal cold would eventually turn into a thyroid crisis?
Boss Zheng did have something to say, and his original intention was still the same. He did not become slippery just because he had been in society for a long time.
The more Chief Cheng thought about it, the more ashamed he felt. He really didn't want to think about it, so he quickly picked up his phone and called the police.
Mass poisoning was a major incident, and no one dared to delay it.
Although Boss Zheng had not explained why it was group poisoning for the time being, should he still hesitate at this time?
After that, Department Chief Cheng enthusiastically invited Zheng Ren to his office.
Su Yun watched from behind and found it funny. The change in Chief Cheng's attitude was so great that it made one's hair stand on end.
The boss was also very powerful. If it weren't for his persistence today, someone would have died.
He turned around to look at the resuscitation room. The unconscious patient's vital signs had gradually stabilized.
As the free T3 and T4 elements in the body decreased, the patient would quickly wake up. As for the follow-up treatment, there was nothing to worry about if she was admitted to the endocrinology department.
When they arrived at Chief Cheng's office together, he coughed for a long time before saying in embarrassment, "Boss Zheng, it's an old habit. Don't take it to heart."
Zheng Ren knew and nodded.
"How did you determine that it was food poisoning?" Chief Cheng asked politely.
"I'm guessing, just guessing." Zheng Ren smiled and said, "The patients are in an area. They probably bought meat and internal organs mixed with animal thyroid glands to eat at home. For example, in pigs, a high temperature of 600-700 degrees Celsius is required to completely inactivate the thyroid hormone. "
"It's impossible to inactivate the thyroid by cooking at home. That's why people who eat animal's thyroid have this problem."
"Some people don't want to eat animal internal organs, especially things like thyroid. It looks very strange. I don't know, but my guess is that when pigs are slaughtered, the thyroid gland should be thrown away directly. "
"This also explains why when a family sits down to eat together, some are poisoned, and some are not. After all, thyroid hormone is not a toxin or a heavy metal. When it's cooked in the pot, other food won't be contaminated. Eating a small amount of thyroid hormone won't be too harmful. "
"But if they eat all the thyroid glands, it'll be terrible."
"The incubation period is 5-20 hours, and the peak period of the attack is 3-6 days. The patients who had the attack today were all patients who ate a large amount of food. The others had changes in the concentration of thyroid hormone in their bodies … It's fine. After taking the medicine orally and monitoring the thyroid function, the endocrinology department will handle this matter well. "
There were a few doubts in Chief Cheng's mind, but after Zheng Ren's explanation, they were all suddenly enlightened.
"Boss Zheng, when killing a pig normally, the thyroid needs to be removed," Chief Cheng said. Chief Cheng said, "Sometimes, when the cats and dogs in the countryside suddenly die, they eat this thing."
This was common knowledge, so Zheng Ren did not know.
"Sometimes, if the cats in the house are not energetic and don't bask in the sun, they are willing to find a shady place to lie down. It's probably because of this reason. People in the countryside … Actually, I don't know either. It's said that cats are spiritual. They know that they are about to die, and the Yin energy is getting stronger and stronger, so they don't bask in the sun. "
Zheng Ren nodded repeatedly and glanced at Su Yun. "Don't give Hei Zi random things to eat."
"How can you say that? We're not doing a thyroid dissection. Can't animal liver be eaten? You make it sound like you're eating less, "Su Yun said disdainfully.
"I just said it in advance. Why does it sound like I stepped on your tail?" Zheng Ren said.
As he spoke, Lin Ge rushed in hastily.
Zheng Ren recounted the matter again. He did not mention the problem he had found. Instead, he only talked about the patient's current situation and his and Chief Cheng's guesses.
Lin Ge was sweating.
There were more than ten patients. If seven or eight of them died, wouldn't the medical administration division be in a mess?
Moreover, this was a major group incident. It was really difficult to explain. Even Director Yan would probably have to rush to the scene from his home to command.
Fortunately, Boss Zheng was there, so it disappeared without a trace.
It was good that it could be solved. Lin Ge did not talk much. Once he grasped the situation, he went to communicate with his comrades from the branch office.
He could not cause panic. He had to 'dig out' all the patients in the community who had not come to see him.
The workload was too heavy. Lin Ge estimated that he would be busy for a few days.
Zheng Ren chatted with Chief Cheng for a while before turning around and leaving.
When he passed by the emergency resuscitation room, Zheng Ren saw that the unconscious patient had woken up. The value on the ECG monitor had returned to normal. However, the ECG was occasionally irregular. It would take a period of careful care to completely recover.
"Boss, your performance today was almost perfect." For the first time, Su Yun did not hesitate to praise him.
"I was also shocked. There was no problem no matter how I checked." Zheng Ren recalled and was still very afraid.
Even the System did not diagnose this kind of immortal-like problem. Once it was diagnosed, it would be a fatal thyroid crisis. It was best if he did not encounter it in the future.
