Chapter 539: Sincerity Makes People Sweat
"???"

"???"

Feng Zixuan and Director Tang were both stunned.

Why is Professor Luo speaking for outsiders?

"Xiao Tang, help Professor Luo park the car. Xiao Luo, come to my office." Feng Zixuan got out of the car and greeted Luo Hao.

Luo Hao scratched his head, realizing that he had said too much.

The patient's family members may not necessarily want to file a complaint or a result, and they will probably just let it go after the explanation, without causing too much trouble.

Too much talk will lead to mistakes. Luo Hao got out of the car, thinking to himself.

"Xiao Luo, tell me what happened."

After entering Feng Zixuan's office, Feng Zixuan began to boil water to make tea.

"Director Feng, don't worry, I have something else to do." Luo Hao said, "There is a diagnosis that I don't see in our electronic medical record system. It's called appendicitis after colonoscopy."

"???"

Feng Zixuan frowned. What kind of disease is this? From the name, it should be caused by the colonoscopy irritating the appendix and causing inflammation.

"If the patient had an abdominal CT scan, it would have revealed an enlarged appendix with a small amount of fluid around it, which is consistent with acute appendicitis.

There are more than 200 similar patients in our Union Hospital medical records database. The patients' symptoms were relieved after appendectomy and the diagnosis was confirmed by pathological examination.

Post-colonoscopy appendicitis is rare clinically, and previous studies have estimated its absolute risk to be 1 in 5.6.

Post-colonoscopy abdominal pain is most often related to trapped air or colonic spasm; if electrocautery is used during colonoscopy, post-polypectomy electrocautery syndrome may also present with abdominal pain, fever, and leukocytosis, which is difficult to distinguish from appendicitis.”

“The cause of acute appendicitis after colonoscopy is unclear but may be due to barotrauma caused by increased intra-abdominal pressure, possibly related to air insufflation or obstruction of the appendix orifice and retained stool.”

Before Feng Zixuan could continue asking, Luo Hao explained everything.

Inflation and high pressure increase the probability of appendicitis, which is a more reasonable explanation.

"Xiao Luo, I didn't expect there is such a saying."

"I just said it casually." Luo Hao scratched his head, "The probability of one in hundreds of thousands, that's too much of a coincidence."

"It's like buying a lottery ticket." Zhuang Yan added.

Luo Hao glanced at Zhuang Yan and asked, "Did Lao Meng buy a lottery ticket?"

"He bought it online."

Feng Zixuan laughed. Luo Hao’s medical team is full of weirdos. Can lottery tickets be bought online?

"How do you buy it online?"

"It's just making up a lottery number, and then buying it virtually. If you don't win, you'll be glad you saved a few bucks."

"What if you win the jackpot?" Feng Zixuan asked.

Zhuang Yan stared at Feng Zixuan with wide eyes, as if she had never seen him before.

Feng Zixuan subconsciously reached out and touched his face, and there was nothing dirty.

"Xiao Zhuang, what's wrong?"

"Uncle Feng, you... cough cough." Zhuang Yan swallowed the rest of the words because it was so sudden and she kept coughing.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Oh, Director Feng, I remember when I first went to school, Alipay bought all the lottery tickets for a period and distributed them to Alipay users."

"Yes."

"Do you remember how much money you won in the end?" Luo Hao asked.

Feng Zixuan shook his head.

"I spent a lot of money. If I had won the prize, I would have bought at least one headline." Luo Hao smiled, "It turned out that there was no grand prize in the entire lottery, which was completely inconsistent with what was said before, so Alipay admitted the loss later."

"!!!"

Feng Zixuan smiled. That’s about it. Lottery tickets are not as good as stocks in some ways.

A few stocks have been paying dividends, but lottery is a bottomless pit that has been tricking people into buying things.

"Mr. Meng, just play it for real. I don't recommend buying real lottery tickets." Luo Hao avoided the topic. "If the virtual number wins, it's a pity at best, but the probability of not winning is higher. It's obviously cost-effective to buy it this way."

"Hehe." Zhuang Yan laughed, her eyes looking at the bag of "dog food" on Feng Zixuan's table.

"Don't worry, you can eat it when Xiao Luo's bag arrives in the mail. Keep this bag for me." Feng Zixuan directly extinguished Zhuang Yan's thoughts.

Zhuang Yan felt a little regretful. She bit her lower lip and stared at the bag of dog food eagerly.

"Director Feng, actually, you can eat it to lose weight. If you want to be healthy, a normal diet is enough."

"Oh, how do you say it?"

"Lululemon hired an artist who lost 100 pounds to be its spokesperson. They all link exercise with weight loss. In fact, there have been scientific studies many years ago that show that exercise can only change some things, but it has little to do with weight loss."

"Hahaha." Feng Zixuan boiled some water, returned to his seat, and stared at Luo Hao as he was talking nonsense.

Luo Hao really dotes on his doctors. Last time, Professor Wang from the Department of Neurosurgery scolded Liu Yiyi, so Luo Hao came and took her to the Department of Neurosurgery and killed her.

Protecting your own children is a good habit.

If you don't even protect your subordinates, who will work for you in the end?

But it is really too much for Luo Hao to protect such a small bag of "dog food".

Feng Zixuan looked at Luo Hao with a smile, wanting to hear what Luo Hao could say.

"A report in Science says that Tanzanian hunters who walk more than 10 kilometers to hunt and American white-collar workers who drive to work or sit in an office for a long time burn almost the same amount of energy every day.

This is because the human body will automatically adjust. If you exercise more, the brain will force the body to reduce energy consumption at other times, so that the energy consumption is equivalent to that when you are not exercising. "

"???"

"???"

Not only Feng Zixuan, but even Zhuang Yan was stunned. Are the things Luo Hao said true or false?

Exercise to lose weight has become popular. Zhuang Yan feels that she has gained a few pounds and is about to apply for a gym membership.

"Weight loss is mainly achieved through dieting, and semaglutide is another way, but exercise has little effect on weight loss. The main function of this kind of health food is to make people eat less while maintaining good health."

"Unlike Shuiduan, the things made in the laboratory are still very formal. Director Feng just saw it. It basically contains the nutrients that humans can consume in a normal diet. If you are lacking something, just eat less fruit."

Feng Zixuan smiled and looked at Luo Hao seriously.

Just for such a small bag of dog food, Luo Hao actually went to so much trouble and talked so much to me.

"Recent findings suggest that obesity has nothing to do with exercise, willpower or sugar, but rather ultra-processed foods produced by food companies.

Ultra-processed foods now make up 60% of the average diet in the UK and US, and the proportion is rising here at home too.

The more developed the food industry is, the more serious the obesity problem tends to be. Ultra-processed foods are believed to harm the human body, increase the incidence of cancer, metabolic diseases and mental illness, and undermine traditional dietary culture. "

Destroying traditional food culture...

Feng Zixuan smiled helplessly. The big hat he put on Ronaldinho showed his determination.

"Brother, what are ultra-processed foods? Pre-prepared meals?" Zhuang Yan was very concerned.

"Ultra-processed foods are what people usually refer to as junk food, but some foods with health claims, such as low-fat, high-fiber, and rich in vitamins, are also ultra-processed foods.

Think about it, real foods like broccoli, beef, fish and shrimp almost never have health claims.”

"Eat less takeout. But I'm very busy in the clinic, and it's good enough if I have time to eat some takeout and not go hungry." Luo Hao sighed. Judging from his expression, Feng Zixuan thought that Luo Hao was worried about the country and the people.

“Ultra-processed foods can take something that isn’t food and that people wouldn’t eat and turn it into a delicious, addictive product.

An American expert believes that they cannot be called food but rather poisonous substances.

For example, xanthan gum, which is used to thicken foods like ice cream, is a bacterial slime; dimethylpolysiloxane, which is used in foods like spicy chicken wings, is also used in conditioners, flea treatments, and more.”

"By the way, this expert is a loyal fan of Chinese food. He especially likes Sichuan cuisine, such as boiled fish and spicy chicken."

"You mean sugar is not the culprit for obesity?" Feng Zixuan asked.

"Yes, this has been proven in papers for a long time. It's just that commercial capital blocks this kind of content in order to make profits, so most people can't access it."

"Director Feng, you see, doctors and nurses in the clinic who have a good appetite and eat quickly will become obese. We usually call this overwork obesity. I think it has something to do with irregular lifestyles and always eating takeout."

"By the way, did you see the news a few days ago? It said that many takeout shops don't have any storefronts at all, or they just rent a small storefront to serve as a storefront. They don't even have chairs, and they only deliver online."

"This kind of takeaway food is full of technology and hard work. Not only will you get fat if you eat too much, but you can't even guarantee your own safety. Not to mention health and safety, they can't even guarantee the most basic hygiene."

"Chinese food is healthy and safe, far superior to Western and Japanese food. What the hell is that!"

Feng Zixuan was stunned. Why was Xiao Luo still so aggressive?
"What I said is true. The incidence of colon cancer in the book is the highest in the world, and it's because of eating raw meat and drinking blood and eating Japanese food."

"..."

"..."

Feng Zixuan and Zhuang Yan both expressed regret over Luo Hao's description.

"Really? The data shows that Benzi performed well in colon cancer surgery. Boss Chai even went there for further study for a period of time."

Director Tang pushed the door open.

"Oh, stop talking nonsense. I know you clinical doctors work hard." Feng Zixuan threw the "dog food" on the table to Zhuang Yan.

"Then let's go first."

"Go ahead, go ahead. The patient we talked about yesterday may need one or two more hospital-wide consultations. You can join us then." Feng Zixuan said directly in the affirmative.

Luo Hao nodded and left with Zhuang Yan.

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

"Yes, if you want to lose weight, you have to stop eating takeout. Eating this stuff is just for emergency purposes. If you can cook it yourself, you'd better cook it yourself." Luo Hao explained.

"But I don't have time. There's too much work to do in the hospital. If I leave on time, no one will stop me, but I feel embarrassed to leave Lao Meng alone to work overtime."

Luo Hao glanced at the cattle and horses under his command and sighed.

How about renting a house near the hospital and cooking your own meals?
Looking for Boss Ding?

Luo Hao's mind began to become active, and his heart became eager.

If this is the case, many problems can be solved. The medical team has many topics to deal with, and there should be one in the cafeteria.

"Senior Brother, I'll be eating this recently!" Zhuang Yan said happily.

"That depends on whether you can resist the temptation. What if Lao Meng and the others eat in the office?"

"Ha, I just remembered that you don't allow the family members of postoperative patients to eat in the ward. Are you afraid that the patients will be greedy?"

Luo Hao nodded.

"I went to chat with the patients and their families! I'm telling you, brother, I think my chatting skills have improved! I can also understand the subtext of the patients' families to some extent, which is a big improvement!"

Luo Hao quietly listened to Zhuang Yan bragging about her progress. The entire medical team was also making progress. That was great.

Luck is still very important, especially after Chen Yong’s master gave him the bronze mirror, he seemed to become even luckier.

Maybe this thing can be considered a receiver, Luo Hao thought, and straightened his chest. The bronze mirror on his chest became slightly hot.

"Brother, you said we can't buy lottery tickets? I asked Lao Meng, and he said we should just take a look and not buy them."

"Of course I can't buy it." Luo Hao didn't know why Zhuang Yan's thoughts jumped back to the past.

"Well, I still dream of making five million."

"Five million is enough for a lot of things. Do you know Tilanqiao?"

"I know, why are you telling me this?"

"After a while, you and Manager Yin will learn how to manage the accounts and the flow of research funds. I'm not treating you as an accountant or cashier, but you'll help me keep an eye on things. If there's a problem or you feel something is wrong, tell me immediately."

Uh~~~
Zhuang Yan was startled.

What Luo Hao said was similar to what Chen Yong said one day, but his senior brother reminded himself what Tilanqiao was for.

"Senior Brother, why did you tell Brother Yong and not us?" Zhuang Yan complained.

"say what?"

Zhuang Yan repeated what Chen Yong said about the big boss, the small boss, the third boss and so on.

Luo Hao frowned and thought.

"I never said that."

"what?"

"Maybe your brother Yong figured it out himself." Luo Hao said with a smile, "He actually has something to say."

"Count?" Zhuang Yan was really dumbfounded this time.

"Or do you think that your brother Yong is very powerful?" Luo Hao laughed, "Really, I'm not kidding."

Luo Hao walked with his head down in deep thought, when he suddenly saw Zhuang Yan wearing a gold ring.

There is a bit of white around the ring.

"Xiao Zhuang, wait a moment."

"What's wrong, senior brother?"

"What kind of makeup do you use?"

“???” Zhuang Yan found it difficult to understand senior brother Luo Hao’s question: What kind of cosmetics does she use?

"Your ring is all white."

"Damn!" Zhuang Yan hadn't noticed it before. When she raised her hand, she saw intermittent whitening marks around the ring.

The traces are quite obvious.

The ring is fake! This was Zhuang Yan's first thought.

"There is mercury in cosmetics. When it comes into contact with gold, the gold will turn white. If you have time, go to a gold shop and spend some money to have it roasted."

"Ah?" Zhuang Yan exclaimed again.

"Gold will return to its original color after being roasted over fire. If it still turns white, it means that some of the cosmetics you are using now contain mercury. It's best not to use it. The food is unsafe, and the cosmetics are not safe either. It's all about technology and hard work, it's fucking stupid." Luo Hao cursed unhappily.

"!!!"

"I met a female patient at Union Hospital. She had cold white skin and was admitted to the ICU unconscious. Laboratory tests showed that she was suffering from mercury poisoning."

"Well, I heard that there is mercury in the magic water, but I saw that everyone else is using it, so I am using it now too."

Luo Hao smiled. Zhuang Yan really had plenty of money. She used the magic water whenever she wanted. If it was an ordinary family, how could they afford the magic water after graduation?

No, it’s the money I paid myself.

Luo Hao immediately realized that it had nothing to do with Dean Zhuang Yongqiang. The scientific research projects in his hands followed the medical team. He had scientific research funds and was not short of money, so the people under him earned more.

Zhuang Yan seems to have a monthly income of more than 50,000 yuan now.

I really need to find someone to take care of the finances, Luo Hao thought to himself.

Although Manager Yin is professional and reliable, we should not test his human nature. There are still multiple checks. It is best if the two parties are not familiar with each other yet.

As soon as I entered the inpatient building, I saw Director Zheng of the Gynecology Department.

Director Zheng's face was full of smiles when he saw Luo Hao. The smile looked so real.

If Luo Hao hadn't seen her throwing instruments and hitting the nurses in the operating room, he would have believed it.

"Professor Luo!" Director Zheng walked over quickly and grabbed Luo Hao's arm.

Luo Hao pulled back, and Director Zheng realized that his actions were too intimate, and quickly let go of his hand. "I just went to your ward to express my gratitude. This time, thanks to your help, Professor Luo, otherwise I don't know what to do."

"How is the patient's condition?"

"Steady, bright red blood is coming out of the drainage tube..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back to the ward." Luo Hao smiled. Standing in the hall listening to Director Zheng say this, he always felt that something was strange.

After getting on the elevator and returning to the ward, Luo Hao sat down, "Director Zheng, please sit down."

But Director Zheng did not sit down. Instead, she stood upright in front of Luo Hao, just like she did twenty years ago when she had just graduated and came to the hospital to face the respected old director.

Luo Hao regretted it... Why did he call her to his ward for no reason? He could have just chatted with her outside for a few minutes.

I really didn't expect Director Zheng to be so humble and not care about his own director's face at all.

Ugh.

Luo Hao sighed in his heart.

What is going on?

Although there is the "favor" of saving Taiwan, we are all doctors, and it is normal for us to help each other find deficiencies and fill in the gaps, but Director Zheng was a little too enthusiastic.

"Patient..." Director Zheng began to report the patient's condition.

It was obvious that Director Zheng had made careful preparations, even reciting the test reports by heart. He gave a detailed report on the 24-hour intake and output, drainage volume, and even the patient's mental state.

This time even Meng Liang was dumbfounded. His attitude in reporting work to Professor Luo did not seem to be as dignified as Director Zheng's.

Haven't you done enough?
That's for sure!
She is the head of the department of the First Hospital of Medical University, the director of the Department of Gynecology, while I am an old attending physician who came from the Infectious Disease Hospital. The gap between us is so huge.

Meng Liangren always remembered his identity and status.

He was a little stunned at first, but then he watched Director Zheng's work report carefully, learning every bit.

Luo Hao simply lay down. If he really let this lady hug his arm in the department, he would not be able to explain to the girl when he got home.

There were countless people in the hospital waiting to laugh at him. Even though they didn't say anything, Luo Hao never assumed the best of people's hearts.

So he never took any risks.

"Professor Luo, this is roughly the patient's condition. Please point out any shortcomings and I will definitely correct them." Director Zheng said sincerely after finishing his "report".

"Director Zheng, you are..." Luo Hao had no idea how to continue the conversation.

"Of course. Do you have any opinions and suggestions on the next treatment?" Director Zheng asked.

"No, I'm fine." Luo Hao nodded, "The damage is not serious, I will be discharged from the hospital in a few days."

"That's great! I knew there would be no problem with the surgery you performed, Professor Luo." Director Zheng smiled happily.

Everyone can win an Oscar, Luo Hao thought to himself.

Why did Director Zheng come to provide emotional value to me? She must have figured it out after she went back that there were some surgeries that she could do but she couldn't.

To put it bluntly, if it was an ordinary patient, it would be a medical dispute at most, but for the patient involved this time, if we can't do it, we will suffer a great loss.

Director Zheng was very cautious and left a way out for the future.

Luo Hao didn't really dislike this kind of thing. Being able to tell the difference in a person's behavior was better than someone like Wen Youren who was doing bad things behind his back.

"Director Zheng, you make me feel very constrained." Luo Hao sighed, "It's okay, it's okay, let's go to Director Shen's office together?"

After Director Zheng finished his trick, he saw that Luo Hao did not refuse, and he smiled and looked kind.

At this time, Director Zheng was no longer the female Tyrannosaurus who angrily threw forceps and smashed the instruments and nurses on the operating table. Instead, she had a different face.

Luo Hao and Director Zheng left talking and laughing, and the people behind them looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Luo Hao knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Pressing the door handle, Luo Hao opened the door which was ajar, already thinking about how to send Director Zheng away.

She was so enthusiastic, to a degree that Luo Hao couldn't accept it.

After opening the door, Luo Hao originally just wanted to take a look, but he immediately saw Shen Zizai concentrating on the computer.

The light from the computer reflected colorfully on Shen Zizai's face.

"Director Shen?" Luo Hao was a little surprised.

"Ah?!" Shen Zizai just woke up from his dream at this time, "Xiao Luo, come in, come in, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"What are you doing?" Luo Hao asked.

"For some unknown reason, there are many patients with fever in our department recently." Shen Zizai did not notice Director Zheng behind Luo Hao and continued to look at the screen.

"Old Shen, he's doing his own rounds." Director Zheng said with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Shen Zizhai just noticed that Director Zheng was there too.

"Why? Your interventional department has a high threshold and I can't get in?"

When facing Shen Zizai, Director Zheng was not as polite as he was to Luo Hao, and he talked and laughed in a relaxed manner.

"Oh." Shen Zizai stood up quickly, "Sit down, sit down, Director Zheng is here for a consultation?"

"I'm here to report to Professor Luo about the changes in the patient's condition yesterday."

"..." Shen Ziyi was stunned and immediately remembered the rumor.

The hospital is big and small at the same time.

Yesterday's incident had already been widely reported. Shen Zizai had not expected that even though the patient had recovered peacefully and the problem had been solved, Director Zheng was still so humble and acted like this.

For a moment, Shen Zizai had mixed feelings.

"Director, the patient has a fever?"

"Your group is the only one that's fine, that's strange~~~If I didn't know, I would have suspected you of poisoning me."
