I can see health

Chapter 54
Lu Chen frowned slightly, he stood up slowly, and with a puzzled face, he came to the corner of the corridor of the ward with the 12-bed female patient.

"Auntie, what do you need from me?"

The woman hesitated, looked left and right, opened her mouth, wanted to speak, but stopped again.

Is there really a secret?
Seeing the woman's appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but have a little association.

He remembered that on the first day this 12-bed female patient came to the department, she said that she had quarreled with her husband.

And she never had family visits while she was in the hospital.

Is it because of family conflicts...

While Lu Chen was thinking, the woman opened her red envelope.

He took out a white handkerchief, which seemed to be wrapped in something.

"Doctor Lu, look at what this is..."

The woman spreads out her handkerchief.

In her handkerchief is a yellow flower.

This flower has dark green leaf surface, light green leaf back, midrib sinks in the leaf surface, flat petiole, terminal cyme, dark yellow corolla.

"Auntie, you are..."

Lu Chen looked at the female patient suspiciously, not understanding what she was going to do with a flower.

The female patient frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Doctor Lu, haven't you been asking me if I have eaten anything recently?"

Lu Chen was taken aback, looked at the yellow petals in his hand, and then at the woman in front of him.

"Auntie, you, wouldn't you eat this flower?"

The woman didn't respond immediately, she sighed.

"Doctor Lu, please help me first, is it possible that my poisoning has something to do with this flower?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen focused his eyes on the yellow flower in front of him again.

Could it be that this flower also has a cardiotonic effect similar to that of "digitalis"?

"This kind of flower should be very common." Lu Chen frowned.

Although he couldn't name the flower, Lu Chen felt that he had seen this kind of flower somewhere.

What he can be sure of is that this flower is definitely not a rare species.

The woman nodded: "Well, you can find it nearby."

Hearing this, Lu Chen took the handkerchief and looked at the flower carefully.

half an hour.

Lu Chen didn't see any tricks.

It suddenly occurred to him that the current search engines all have the function of "photographic recognition".

Immediately took a photo and uploaded the "yellow flower" photo to the search engine.

But the output results are very strange.

The main reason is that the characteristics of this yellow flower are not obvious.

Therefore, all flowers that are yellow in color appear in the search results column.

It seems that using this "photographic recognition" function will not work!

"Auntie, please give me this flower first, and I will ask for you."

"okay."

The woman handed the flowers to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen covered it with toilet paper.

This thing might be really poisonous, it's better to be careful.

……

Go back to the doctor's office.

Lu Chen took out the "yellow flower" in his hand and showed it to everyone in the group.

"Senior sister, do you know this kind of flower?"

Sun Guoguo looked at the "yellow flower", then shook her head.

"I can't even tell the difference between wheat and rice, so don't show me this."

Lu Chen: "..."

"Junior brother, why do you ask this flower? Where did you get the flower?" Sun Guoguo asked suspiciously.

Lu Chen hurriedly said, "It's the female patient in bed 12, she said she ate this kind of flower."

"Eat flowers?" Sun Guoguo asked in surprise, "Why do you want to eat flowers?"

Lu Chen shook his head.

"I don't know. As soon as I continue to ask, she won't answer."

Afterwards, Ke Yue and Dong Hao also took a look at the "yellow flower" for a while and shook their heads.

This flower looks very familiar.

But to say what kind, no one can tell.

"Show me."

Jiang Qingyan suddenly spoke aside.

Lu Chen froze for a moment, then handed the "yellow flower" to Jiang Qingyan.

"By the way, Xiaoyan, you usually like to grow flowers the most. You should know what kind of flower this is." Ke Yue smiled.

Jiang Qingyan didn't speak, and carefully wrapped the root of the "yellow flower" with toilet paper.

After observing for a while, she frowned slightly.

"The scientific name of this flower should be phlox."

Oleander?
Everyone is puzzled.

"Actually, this kind of flower is very common." Jiang Qingyan said softly, "It is mainly grown in tropical areas, but it is planted in parks, flower beds and lakesides in southern my country."

"Is this kind of flower poisonous?" Lu Chen frowned.

"Such a common flower, shouldn't it be poisonous?" Ke Yue whispered from the side.

Dong Hao also agreed: "There are a lot of these flowers in my hometown. I have never heard of anyone being poisoned."

"I don't know much about toxicity." Jiang Qingyan returned the "yellow flower" to Lu Chen, "However, this kind of flower is widely planted in China, and it is resistant to smog, dust, poison, air purification, and environmental protection. Ability, and a certain appreciation value."

"Well, thank you." Lu Chen nodded.

Although the toxicity of this plant is still unclear, Jiang Qingyan has already helped a lot, at least identifying the type of plant.

"I'll look it up online after get off work."

Lu Chen wrapped the yellow flower in toilet paper and prepared to put it in the open space of the duty room.

"No need to check"

At this time, Li Yao suddenly walked into the doctor's office.

She looked around everyone and said softly:
"Bamboo nuts are indeed poisonous!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.

Just listen to Li Yao continue:
"Oleander is one of the most poisonous plants. It contains a variety of toxins, some of which are even fatal. It is extremely toxic and has been reported to be fatal or nearly fatal in small quantities."

"The most abundant toxins are cardiac glycosides and neriine. Cardiac glycosides are natural plant or animal toxins that have both positive and toxic effects on the heart, similar to digitalis."

"These toxins can be found in various parts of the oleander."

"Clinical manifestations of oleander poisoning are similar to those of digoxin poisoning, including gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological dysfunction, and cardiac arrhythmias."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Yellow flower" is oleander, and oleander has the effect similar to "digitalis".

That is to say, the 12-bed patient did suffer from the poisoning effect of digitalis because he ate "oleander"!
It all makes sense!

"But, but, why does she eat oleander?" Sun Guoguo asked a question that everyone knew.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, each with their own guesses in their hearts.

Lu Chen's heart was beating drums.

This won't be guessed by myself, right?

After quarrels and domestic violence, is it a family ethics drama?

"We just tell the patient what we know." Li Yao said, "Don't make wild guesses."

"Okay." Lu Chen nodded.

The female patient is under his supervision.

About the oleander, he should tell the patient himself.

……

Beside the 12th bed, Lu Chen stood up straight.

"Auntie, this yellow flower is called oleander, and it is indeed poisonous," Lu Chen said.

"Really?"

"Well, Auntie, why did you eat flowers? By mistake or... for some other reason?"

The expression on the woman's face was very surprised.

"Doctor Lu, when did I say I ate this yellow flower?"
