Zheng Ren smiled. It seemed that Su Yun could chat with the driver. He hurried to the System space.
He took another look at the mission and confirmed that there were no Energy points. Zheng Ren was a little disappointed.
He clicked on the purchase of surgical training and went to the operating theater.
The simulation mannequin lay quietly on the operating table. Zheng Ren was not in a hurry to perform the surgery. Instead, he took a look at the CT scan and cholangiography.
On the image, the bile duct was blocked, leaving only a narrow path of fine silt-like stones.
Looking at the image, Zheng Ren began to worry.
Normally, endotracheal drainage was mainly used in patients with advanced cancer and jaundice. Most of the bile duct was drained externally after exploratory bile duct surgery and could be removed relatively easily.
This kind of internal drainage required a relatively long observation period. Many patients with advanced cancer had endotracheal tubes mainly for the purpose of prolonging their lives.
However, this extension was too much. Fourteen years …
He really did not know what to do. Zheng Ren crossed his arms and rested his chin on his hand as he looked at the radiographic films carefully. After understanding the patient's radiographic data, he began to try interventional surgery. However, Zheng Ren could not pull the endotracheal tube.
Unlike stents, this kind of situation rarely occurred with endotracheal tubes. Zheng Ren felt a little depressed.
He tried other methods and began to study in the System's operating theater.
…
…
"You have to eat it even if you don't want to. There's no other way. In 2017, researchers in Malaysia discovered that plastic waste enters the ocean and eventually breaks down into small pieces that return to the salt we use every day. "
When Zheng Ren came out of the System's operating theater, Su Yun was still arguing with the driver about plastic.
"Uh …" This time, the driver was stunned. If there was salt, wouldn't he have to eat plastic every day? He could not use plastic bags, but he could not eat salt.
When he thought about the plastic in the salt, he began to feel sick.
"In the marine environment, large pieces of plastic gradually become smaller and split into countless tiny pieces of plastic after undergoing solar radiation, chemical degradation, impact of waves, and ingestion by marine organisms. Its extremely small size makes it difficult for us to notice its existence, but it does exist. "Zheng Ren smiled and said," Don't be so detailed. There's not much point. "
"Boss, you're giving up on yourself! That's not right, "Su Yun said disdainfully.
"It's not that I'm giving up. A while ago, an American scholar conducted a study on 150 tap water samples from 14 cities around the world and found that up to 83% of the samples contained plastic particles," Zheng Ren said. "We can't avoid it."
"Sir, I have a water purifier at home," the driver explained in a low voice.
"Ordinary water purifiers have no use for microplastics." "On October 22, 2018, at the European Gastroenterology Conference in Vienna, researchers announced that they had detected microplastics in every stool sample from a small number of subjects around the world. Microplastics can penetrate the filter of the water purifier. Don't listen to the salesperson. "
"…"
The driver, who had always been talkative, was confused by Zheng Ren's words. How was he supposed to live if he could not even eat and drink?
And what did that young man's words mean? Plastic was created by humans to be used as a container, but in the end, humans became the container of plastic.
The research confirmed what people had long suspected — that the plastic would eventually enter the human intestine. Simply put, the human body had become a container.
Seriously … Damn it.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Su Yun saw that the driver had already entered philosophical thinking mode and was driving a little unsteadily, so he immediately advised, "Plastic is not harmful, at least for now, there is no conclusive evidence."
"You can't say that. Microplastics can stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, causing mechanical damage, blocking food passages, and producing a sense of fullness. This will reduce the actual intake of nutrients, resulting in reduced body weight, delayed development, and so on. "
"…" The driver suddenly felt that he was in a bad mood.
"Boss, you're doing this on purpose. Just now, you said not to worry too much," Su Yun said unhappily. Su Yun said unhappily, "You usually don't speak much, why do you keep talking?"
"You … You're lying to me, right?" The driver smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I knew it was a joke a long time ago, didn't I?"
"Yes, it was a joke." Su Yun patted him on the shoulder and tried to comfort him.
"I told you, it must be fake," the driver comforted himself. "Plastic, such a light thing, how could it appear at the bottom of the sea 4,500 meters below?"
Zheng Ren smiled and wanted to say something, but when he saw the driver's expression in the rearview mirror, he could only shut up.
Go to the Imperial Capital for hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Otherwise, if he continued to speak, this old driver was afraid that he would not be able to wait for plastic poisoning.
It was not easy to drive to the Imperial Capital. Su Yun comforted the old driver a few more words before saying to Zheng Ren, "Boss, he's scared."
"There's nothing we can do. Plastic is everywhere now. It's not like we don't want to come into contact with it. Think about it. The average lifespan of humans is still gradually increasing. It's much better than when there was no plastic. There's no need to scare yourself, "Zheng Ren said.
"Hey." Su Yun smiled. "I have a friend who made a model to restore the sea snow model. No matter how small it is, it can be swept to the bottom of the sea, not necessarily floating on the surface of the sea. "
"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded.
What Su Yun was talking about was a movement characteristic of ocean dynamics. Using a container to hold seawater and rotating it day and night, a flocculent would appear after a few days. This was the simplest model restoration.
This flocculent called sea snow had a strong wrapping ability. Even if it was only a 1mm particle, it could be contained in it and finally fall to the bottom of the sea.
In many oil spills, a portion of the oil fell to the bottom of the sea.
However, it had nothing to do with today's surgery, so Zheng Ren did not pay much attention to the use of plastic. It was enough for each of them to do their own things.
For example, today's surgery. The endogenous tube that had been in his body for 14 years really wanted to seize the time to try it out.
"Is the chief here?" Su Yun asked.
"The chief's house is quite far away. I don't think he's here yet." Zheng Ren called Chief Kong. Sure enough, he was still halfway.
"Boss, I didn't hear you talking to the chief on the phone just now. Do you think you need surgery?" Su Yun asked.
"I don't think so," Zheng Ren said. "The 14-year-old tube and the stone are very troublesome to deal with. I think it's better to use interventional methods first. If it works, the patient won't have to suffer, right? "
"In your dreams. How can there be so many possibilities?" Su Yun said. "The inside is stuck firmly. Interventional surgery is very difficult."
