Only then did Zhou Litao remember that Boss Zheng and Brother Yun must have something to do at the hospital in the middle of the night.
Judging from their expressions, it should be this emergency department.
After taking the phone, Zhou Litao closed the door of the on-call room and walked over with them.
Zheng Ren saw the young assistant supporting Lin Jiaojiao as they staggered over. Doctors and nurses followed behind her, looking after her carefully, afraid that she would fall.
As for the System's diagnosis … Zheng Ren found it absurd.
Mercury poisoning!
Ataxia could be caused by heavy metal poisoning, but how did Lin Jiaojiao get mercury poisoning?
Mercury was a heavy metal with a low melting point and would evaporate at room temperature.
Chronic mercury poisoning was more common. It mainly occurred in production activities and was caused by long-term inhalation of mercury vapor and mercury compound dust.
The main symptoms of heavy metal poisoning were psychoneurotic abnormalities, gingivitis, and tremors.
Lin Jiaojiao was a businesswoman, a very successful one at that. How could she be involved in the production of mercury? You must be joking.
However, he immediately remembered that many cosmetics were said to contain excessive levels of mercury.
Because he was a straight man, there were not many people in Sea City who could afford to use big brands of cosmetics, so Zheng Ren did not do detailed research on this.
For a straight man, all cosmetics contained radiation. The more expensive the cosmetics, the higher the radiation dose.
"Sister Lin, how did this happen?" Su Yun went up and asked.
"I don't know. I've been very tired recently. I couldn't even speak clearly just now," Lin Jiaojiao said. "I'm a little better now. It's okay to speak slowly, but I still don't have the strength to walk."
Her eyes were filled with fear and helplessness.
Zhou Litao had already pushed a wheelchair out for Lin Jiaojiao to sit in before sending her to the emergency room.
"Sister Lin, tell me more about the recent situation. It's best to be more detailed," Zheng Ren said.
"Boss Zheng, I've been running a project recently. Maybe it's because I'm busy flying around. I feel especially tired," Lin Jiaojiao said. "In the past week, I haven't been sleeping well and always have nightmares. Every day … Oh yes, my feet are slightly swollen. "
"Is there anything special about eating?" Zheng Ren asked.
"I eat normally when I go out, but I eat more regularly at home. I mainly eat vegetables, supplemented by beef and mutton. I rarely eat carbohydrates," Lin Jiaojiao said.
Sigh, Zheng Ren also felt a little helpless to ask about carbohydrates during the consultation.
He bent down and took off Lin Jiaojiao's high heels.
She was wearing flesh-colored stockings, which was inconvenient. Although it looked easy to tear, Zheng Ren was not interested.
When he pressed it, there was a depression. There was indeed a problem of edema.
However, the dent quickly recovered, and no shocking marks were left on the surface.
The edema in the lower limbs should be considered mild, not serious.
A simple neurological examination only revealed a slight dullness in the nerve reflexes, but no pathological reflexes.
'Looks like it's nothing serious,' Zheng Ren thought.
"Let's do a urine test first," Zheng Ren said. "Check your kidney function, blood test, and liver function."
Zhou Litao responded and immediately brought Lin Jiaojiao's assistant to fill out the checkup form.
A nurse came to draw blood.
"Sister Lin, what cosmetics have you been using recently? Is there a problem with the dosage? "Zheng Ren's question was very direct. There was no ambiguity or ambiguity.
Su Yun was startled. He looked at Lin Jiaojiao and seemed to have thought of a possibility.
"Uh …" Lin Jiaojiao was taken aback.
"Boss, do you suspect heavy metal poisoning?" Su Yun asked.
"Yes, it's possible. If there's no problem with her diet, Sister Lin will recover relatively quickly after her first episode. Considering the possibility of heavy metal poisoning, compared to tumors and other … "
As Zheng Ren spoke, Lin Jiaojiao was shocked by the word tumor.
She immediately began to recall and said a lot of cosmetics brands.
"This is what I usually use. Other than the whitening one that I use more, there's no other change."
"Sister Lin, your face costs at least three thousand yuan a day," Su Yun said with a sigh.
Zheng Ren did not feel anything about it.
"Brother Yun, don't tease me." Lin Jiaojiao seemed to have recovered a little and said worriedly, "I'm not going to die, am I?"
"No, I think it's heavy metal poisoning. Let's do a checkup first," Zheng Ren said. "It's in the acute stage. It's not serious. If it's confirmed, you can recover after a period of treatment."
Lin Jiaojiao was relieved.
However, although it was not a tumor, heavy metal poisoning was scary enough. She then asked worriedly, "Boss Zheng, how long will it take?"
"Don't think about making money for now." Zheng Ren did not know whether to laugh or cry. "The most important thing is to cure the disease. Besides, what I said just now was just a preliminary judgment. Don't worry. "
Zhou Litao brought the young assistant back and let Lin Jiaojiao lie on the hospital bed in the emergency resuscitation room. He took her vital signs and waited for the test results to come back.
The emergency test results came out in about ten minutes.
Just as Zheng Ren had expected, there were no problems with the blood routine and liver function, and the protein was not low.
However, there was something wrong with the urine routine. The urine white blood cell under the microscope was 10-15/HPF, and the urine protein qualitative test was 500 mg/dl. Kidney function, urea nitrogen, and creatinine were slightly higher than normal, so the problem was not big.
"Boss Zheng, the preliminary diagnosis can be nephrotic syndrome," Zhou Litao said as he looked at the test results.
Zheng Ren nodded and said, "Can the heavy metal test be done at night?"
"I can't do it for the time being," Zhou Litao said helplessly.
Zheng Ren thought about it and felt that it was better to report to Department Chief Kong.
He picked up his phone and called Department Chief Kong to briefly report Lin Jiaojiao's situation and proposed to do a heavy metal test.
Department Chief Kong contacted the laboratory staff to work overtime. Zheng Ren asked the young assistant to make a call and get someone to send all the cosmetics that Lin Jiaojiao had recently used.
Especially the bottle of whitening cosmetics that she had been using recently. Zheng Ren highly suspected that the mercury content in it had exceeded the limit.
After comforting Lin Jiaojiao and telling her not to worry, if the problem was found, it would be fine soon. Zheng Ren returned to Zhou Litao's duty room.
"Boss Zheng, do you suspect that it's heavy metal poisoning?" Zhou Litao asked.
"Yes, the diet is fine. I think it's caused by cosmetics."
"Uh …"
When it came to cosmetics, Zhou Litao and Zheng Ren's knowledge was similar. Among the three of them, Su Yun was the most familiar with cosmetics.
Although Zheng Ren was a little curious, how many cosmetics did he buy for the girls to be so familiar with it!
He really did not dare to imagine what Su Yun had experienced in the past.
Perhaps when he left the Imperial Capital, it was because his girlfriends had quarreled together and could not stand the disturbance.
Department Chief Kong contacted them very quickly. He personally went to pick up the people from the laboratory to do a heavy metal test in the blood and urine.
