The Surgeon's Studio

"Aren't you afraid of being eaten by her?" Su Yun asked.

"I am, but I will die if I leave her." The patient's family member sighed and said,"so, I ..."

As he spoke, he thought of the problem of raw meat and felt that it was ridiculous.

"Generally speaking, this illness is caused by too much stress. As for what kind of stress it is, I suggest you go to a psychiatrist." Zheng Ren said,"it's almost time. Let's go back and take a look."

"I haven't looked at the examination report."

"It's fine. I'm just checking to see if the necklace is going down. If the location changes, it proves that it's not stuck in the intestine. It'll probably be discharged within 24 hours. " Zheng Ren said.

"Doctor, is sleepeating really fine?" The patient's family members were still worried.

"Sleepeating was officially confirmed as a disease in 1991. Currently, a rough estimate is that 0.5 to 1.5 out of 10000 people suffer from sleepeating. There are many people who eat at midnight ..."

"There's something wrong with this number. I think one in a million is normal, but one in ten thousand is too big." Su Yun said in disdain.

"It doesn't matter," Zheng Ren laughed."There's no effective treatment method yet. You can try psychological treatment, but don't take drugs that treat epilepsy."

"Oh, oh." The patient's family member heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Yuan was chatting awkwardly with the patient when he returned to the radiology department.

Zheng Ren did not explain much to the patient and gave her another thorough abdominal examination.

When the two images were compared, they could see that there were traces of movement of metal objects in the intestine. Although it was not obvious, as long as it could be moved and discharged, it was a small matter. Zheng Ren was relieved this time.

He brought the patient and two spot scans back to the emergency department. Lin Yuan followed behind, his stomach full of curiosity and questions that almost made him explode.

When he returned to the emergency department, a group of people blocked the door of the treatment room. Some of them were watching the commotion, while others were pacing around anxiously.

A nurse was standing next to a seat in the waiting area, looking after a woman in her 60s.

Looking at the mess on the other side, Zheng Ren frowned, not knowing what had happened.

"You guys wait here, I'll take a look at the situation." Zheng Ren said to the patient's family.

The man did not refuse Zheng Ren's words. He nodded repeatedly and waited in the waiting area with the woman.

Zheng Ren strode toward the treatment room.

"Make way, make way." Su Yun called out from behind.

However, this level of shouting could not stop the onlookers from watching the fun.

Zheng Ren saw that there were no old people in the crowd, so he parted the crowd and pushed the door open to enter the treatment room.

She really couldn't understand why they had to crowd around to watch when the door was closed.

The moment the door opened, the crowd exclaimed in unison.

Zheng Ren was also stunned when he saw Zhou Litao.

In front of Zhou Litao stood a little boy, about seven or eight years old. He had a glass bottle in his mouth, and saliva was dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Close the door." Zheng Ren said in a deep voice.

Lin Yuan was the last to squeeze in and closed the door.

Zhou Litao was wearing sterile gloves and holding a pair of forceps in his hand. He was at a loss as to where to start. Seeing that Zheng Ren had returned, he said in joy,""Boss Zheng, you're back. Help me take a look."

"What's going on?" Zheng Ren asked.

"The child drank the juice and licked the bottle with his tongue. However, he licked too deeply and his tongue got stuck in the bottle." Zhou Litao briefly explained the situation.

The young patient's mother's tears fell, especially after seeing Zhou Litao's helplessness. She was already in despair.

Through the glass bottle, one could see the bruise on the patient's tongue. As the color darkened, her heart sank deeper and deeper.

Zheng Ren put on a mask and sterile gloves and came to the child's side. When he checked the light, he saw that the child's tongue was bruised and swollen, and it was stuck in a bottle.

Uh ...

This was the first time Zheng Ren had seen such a situation.

In the past, when he was in the emergency department, he had encountered many situations where the unruly children had caused all kinds of trouble by themselves.

For example, some naughty kids wanted to try and see if they could hold a light bulb in their mouths.

For example, some naughty children used their hands to hold firecrackers to test their courage, and their hands were blown up.

For example, when a child in the village threw a disposable lighter into the stove pit, the fragments that fell out almost hurt his eyes.

For example ...

There were too many things to describe.

However, it was the first time Zheng Ren had encountered a situation where his tongue was stuck in a bottle.

After carefully looking at the situation, he was also put in a difficult position.

"Boss Zheng, if you can't do it, just break the bottle." Zhou Litao suggested in a low voice.

"No," Zheng Ren shook his head.

"What if the glass shards get into my mouth?" Su Yun looked at the brat and was a little worried, so much so that her usual disdainful tone when she spoke to Zhou Litao was not so heavy.

"Yes, Su Yun is right. Moreover, the broken glass can easily be swallowed into the esophagus along the tongue, and it might even choke in the trachea. The potential risk is very high. " Zheng Ren said in a deep voice as he looked at the bottle.

"What if I use anesthesia?" Lin Yuan suggested,"the patient is not so nervous after the anesthesia, and the tongue will become soft. It might be easier to take it out."

"There are too many uncontrollable factors." Su Yun's eyes narrowed, and the black hair on her forehead fluttered even though there was no wind."The child is not having difficulty breathing now. Once the anesthesia is administered, the child will have difficulty breathing, and the tubes won't even be able to be inserted."

"Hmm, if that's the case, I can only perform tracheotomy. A simple thing will become troublesome." Zheng Ren agreed with Su Yun.

The parents who were already scared to begin with felt their legs turn to jelly when they heard Zheng Ren and Su Yun's description. They could not even stand.

She leaned against the wall and squatted down, holding her head and crying.

Zheng Ren felt that it was too tricky. If he followed the usual procedure, he would have to break the glass bottle.

However, the bottle's walls were very thick, and it required a lot of strength.

The kid's tongue took up almost half of the space in the glass bottle, so it was difficult to break the bottle without damaging his tongue.

As for the side injuries caused by the fragments entering the windpipe and esophagus, that would be a story for another time.

Only the heavens knew what kind of godly operation this devilish brat would do in his panic, and what kind of side effects he would cause.

The anesthesia that Lin Yuan suggested wouldn't work either. Once there was danger, a small matter would become a big one.

Get 119's professionals to come?

Zheng Ren saw that the brat's tongue had already turned black. If he waited for the professionals from 119 to come and think of a solution, it would take at least 20 to 30 minutes.

His tongue might not even die of blood loss ...

"Why is it stuck so badly?" Su Yun tried to pull the glass bottle out, but the brat mumbled, indicating that he was in pain and could not move it.

"It's probably because the tongue is in the bottle, which caused a local negative pressure in the vacuum. " Zheng Ren looked at the bottle with rapt attention, completely ignoring the child's cries of pain.

She couldn't be soft-hearted at this time. Crying with the child's mother wouldn't solve the problem.
