123: A dead duck is still stubborn
Ding!
"[Host detected speaking bluntly to the patient, revealing the patient's hidden illness, greatly assisting the patient. Task completed!]"
"[Congratulations to the Host for receiving the reward: Righteousness Myriad Goodness Decoction.]"
Seeing that this time the reward was another medicinal formula, Qin Jiang nodded with satisfaction.
However, after glancing at the name of the formula, Qin Jiang felt a bit curious.
What did Righteousness Myriad Goodness Decoction mean? Why were the names of these formulas so strange?
While Qin Jiang was still wondering, a family of four, supporting each other, walked in from outside.
Before Qin Jiang could speak, the four of them found a place to sit down, all smiling, but their eyes seemed a bit off, as if their minds were wandering.
"Who's here to see a doctor?" Qin Jiang asked.
A middle-aged man stepped forward, sat in front of the examination table, and said somewhat weakly, "Doctor, please examine me first. I feel dizzy and have a stomachache."
Dizzy and stomachache again?
Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow.
"Stick out your tongue so I can see."
The middle-aged man stuck out his tongue, and Qin Jiang noticed that his eyes seemed to close uncontrollably from time to time.
Even when he opened his eyes, they darted around wildly.
This situation indicated that the man's attention was already unfocused.
This was a relatively dangerous sign.
"Alright, close your mouth, then look at my finger."
Qin Jiang held up an index finger and asked, "How many is this?"
The middle-aged man stared at Qin Jiang's index finger for a while, almost drooling, and mumbled indistinctly, "It's one."
Qin Jiang frowned.
"Give me your hand, I'll take your pulse."
The man nodded and placed his hand on the pulse diagnosis pillow.
The netizens in the live stream couldn't help but complain when they saw the man's reaction.
"What's wrong with this Buddy? Is he high?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Our country has strict drug control. If he were really high, would he dare to come see a doctor? Is he trying to die?"
"Someone actually did that before. It just goes to show you how big the world is and how many strange things there are."
"Looking at this old Buddy, he can barely speak clearly. He must be poisoned."
It had to be said that the netizens still had some skills.
Just by looking at the man's state, they had already made a rough guess.
And Qin Jiang was even more shocked after taking his pulse.
This man's pulse was too chaotic!
From the pulse, it was indeed poisoning.
But Qin Jiang couldn't immediately distinguish which type of poison it was, so he could only ask, "What's your name?"
"Feng... Feng An."
"Mr. Feng, I'll do a blood test for you first, and then give you some Acupuncture to help you stay awake. Come with me."
Qin Jiang led Feng An into the pharmacy for a blood test. While waiting for the results, Qin Jiang took out silver needles and gave Feng An a few Acupunctures.
After the silver needles were inserted, Feng An's drooling significantly eased, and his consciousness also became much clearer.
Qin Jiang continued to ask,
"Mr. Feng, my preliminary judgment is that you are poisoned. Do you remember anything unusual you've eaten recently? Like something uncommon, or if you've had any takeout."
Feng An shook his head.
"No, our family always cooks our own meals. We never order takeout, and we only make home-cooked dishes."
"Then have you accidentally eaten anything? Like desiccant from a snack bag, or expired food?"
Feng An still shook his head.
"We don't even have snacks at home, at most just some peanuts and melon seeds."
Seeing Feng An answer so definitively, even Qin Jiang couldn't help but sigh, Feng An's family really ate healthily.
Not ordering takeout was already rare, and they didn't even eat snacks.
But this made things difficult for Qin Jiang.
"That shouldn't be. Your situation is indeed poisoning, but the toxicity isn't severe."
"Do you have any external injuries? Have you been bitten by a snake or an insect?"
Feng An still shook his head.
"No, I live in a residential community. How could there be snakes?"
If he didn't eat something wrong and wasn't bitten by a venomous creature, then how did he get poisoned?
Was it inhaled gas?
Just as Qin Jiang was wondering, he suddenly saw the other three people sitting nearby.
These three people, like Feng An, had dull eyes, smiling faces, and occasionally gestured at the air, as if they were talking to someone.
Qin Jiang immediately understood.
He asked, "Did you eat mushrooms?"
Upon hearing Qin Jiang say this, Feng An immediately became agitated.
"Doctor, what are you saying? We are proper Yunnan people. What we ate wasn't mushrooms, it was wild fungi."
"Wild fungi, you know, wild mushrooms, they're different from regular mushrooms."
Qin Jiang: ...
Seeing Feng An so excitedly trying to teach Qin Jiang the difference between mushrooms and fungi, Qin Jiang became even more convinced that his speculation was correct.
"Alright, alright, I understand. You ate wild fungi."
"Then why didn't you tell me when I just asked you if you ate anything?"
Feng An looked innocent.
"Didn't you say 'uncommon'?"
"Wild fungi are common in our home. They're just home-cooked dishes, every meal, always fresh."
"I thought there was nothing to say about home-cooked dishes."
Qin Jiang had a bit of a headache.
He felt that communicating with Feng An was very difficult.
Qin Jiang patiently continued, "Mr. Feng, you felt stomach pain and dizziness. It hasn't been long since then, has it?"
Feng An nodded, just an hour ago.
"That is, after eating, right?"
Qin Jiang added, "All four of you ate the wild fungi at your home, right?"
Feng An looked at Qin Jiang with some dissatisfaction.
"Doctor, what exactly do you mean? Just say it directly."
Qin Jiang said earnestly,
"What I mean is, all four of you ate the same dish and simultaneously developed these symptoms."
"Then it can only be food poisoning."
"The most likely scenario is that the wild fungi you ate were poisonous."
As soon as Qin Jiang finished speaking, Feng An became agitated again.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Our family has been eating wild fungi for so many years. How could I not know if they're poisonous?"
"Even if there's poison, it's not the wild fungi that are poisonous!"
Alright, alright, so you're being stubborn, huh!
Qin Jiang said to Feng An, "Since you insist the wild fungi aren't poisonous, then I can only give you gastric lavage and induced vomiting first, and then do a toxicology analysis."
"Let's go, it's time for gastric lavage."
Feng An was a bit resistant.
But to prove to Qin Jiang that it wasn't the wild fungi's fault, Feng An still resolutely stood up and walked towards the ward.
The netizens in the live stream expressed their incomprehension at this scene.
"Are there any Buddys who have eaten wild fungi? Can anyone give a popular science explanation? Are wild fungi really that delicious?"
"I've eaten them. They are indeed delicious, but they are also very easy to cause poisoning."
"I've also eaten them. I can only say that seafood isn't as fresh as wild fungi, provided you can distinguish which ones are non-toxic."
