medical center.

Emergency.

Dr. Duncan, there is a five-year-old child with some heart problems. He is in the No. 1 consultation room.

Seeing Adam coming in, the nurse immediately greeted him.

Okay, I see.

Adam walked over quickly.

A little girl of African descent, lying there, struggling to breathe.

Coarctation of the aorta, sudden severe dyspnea, respiratory rate 40, blood pressure 180/100, tachycardia, mid-systolic murmur.

As Adam checked, he said, Give her 20 mg of furosemide.

Yes, doctor.

The nurse quickly injected the little girl with diuretics.

What's her name?

Adam asked.

Carissa.

the nurse replied.

Hi Carissa, I'm Dr. Duncan.

Adam leaned over to look at the little girl who seemed a little confused, and said in a gentle voice, Did you touch anything you shouldn't touch, or eat something you shouldn't eat?

Carissa shook her head hard.

Has her family come?

Adam looked up to the nurse.

Her father and sister are coming.

the nurse replied.

Doctors!

Another nurse reminded: Her heart rate has changed.

Ventricular Tachycardia.

Adam looked at the monitor, frowned and said, 20 mg lidocaine, intravenous injection.

Yes, doctor.

The nurse responded immediately.

Have you got her medical records?

Adam asked.

Searching the database.

the nurse replied.

Doctor, she has a fever.

The nurse reminded.

Give her a gastric lavage right away and prepare for a lavage.

Adam ordered: Then give her a toxicology test.

Is she poisoned?

The nurse was surprised.

Ok.

Adam nodded: Let the laboratory check as soon as possible to see what she ate.

Yes, doctor.

The nurse agreed, drew Carissa's blood skillfully, and took the blood sample to the laboratory for toxicological examination.

After Adam gave Carissa gastric lavage, the symptoms of poisoning such as fever, ventricular arrhythmia, high blood pressure, and anxiety all eased.

Over there in the lab.

Because Adam's name was reported, urgent processing was done, and the toxicology inspection report was sent soon.

damn it!

Adam took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help but curse.

The nurse also showed an angry expression.

However, the test results showed that five-year-old Carissa had taken too much cocaine.

This is a strong calf!

She is only five years old!

Dr. Duncan, do you need to notify Children and Family Services?

the nurse asked.

Ok.

Adam nodded.

In the United States, any harm to children, whether intentional or unintentional, will attract investigation by child protection organizations.

Hospitals and doctors, as long as they find it, should also report it according to the procedure.

Dr. Duncan, Carissa's family is here.

The nurse reminded.

Let them wait.

Adam continues to treat Carissa.

Now that the cause has been clarified, it is only necessary to prescribe the right medicine, and there is no rush to ask the family member Carissa's past medical history.

Wait until someone from Children and Family Services arrives.

Adam came out with the other side again.

Children and Family Services come quickly.

A middle-aged African-American woman.

Ms. McGillis, that is the case.

Adam introduced Carissa's condition: The family members are in the waiting area.

Let's go and have a look together.

Ms. McGillis said with a heavy face.

it is good.

Adam nodded and took her to the family waiting area.

A muscular middle-aged African-American man sat there anxiously, with a teenage African-American girl leaning on his shoulder, with earphones hanging on his ears and eyes closed.

Mr. Freeman.

The nurse stepped forward and called out.

How is my daughter?

Mr. Freeman supported the African-American girl on the chair, stood up, and asked anxiously.

She's fine.

Adam nodded at him.

Thank God.

Mr. Freeman raised his hands, thanked God first, then came over, reached out to shake Adam's hand: Thank you, doctor! I want to see her now!

Not in a hurry.

Adam introduced: This is Ms. McGillis from Children and Family Services, and she wants to talk to you.

Your legal name and address?

Ms. McGillis asked blankly.

what?

The smile on Mr. Freeman's face immediately froze. He looked at Adam, then at Ms. McGillis, who was already sitting on the seat, posing a serious question, and asked suspiciously: What happened? ?”

He is not stupid.

This is clearly not a good sign.

Please tell me your legal name and address!

Ms. McGillis repeated her request blankly.

This time, it's not a request, but a request!

Where's Karissa? I need to see her, now!

Mr. Freeman said irritably.

Your five-year-old daughter had a cocaine overdose.

Adam reminded me.

Mr. Freeman was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, propped his hands on the counter, and shook his head deeply.

Apparently he got it all.

Tim Morgan Freeman, address...

After a while, Mr. Freeman calmed down, turned around, faced Ms. McGillis, and reported his information.

I didn't do it, I don't know where Carissa got the cocaine from.

ok.

Ms. McGillis closed the record sheet, nodded and said: Our children and family services agency will conduct door-to-door tracking...

Is this the end?

The nurse dared not believe it: He has committed a crime against children!

Mr. Freeman is middle class, has his own job, owns his own home.

Ms McGillis explained: I have a number of other families that live in cars ... I trust Mr Freeman and we will follow up.

Adam understood.

This situation is too common in the United States.

The general environment that cannot be controlled at the source does not change, and it is impossible to manage it with a few staff members of these institutions.

Otherwise, when Adam crossed over, there would not be such a jaw-dropping operation of directly publicizing innocence.

The logic here is that if you can't control it, just let it go.

The government's regularization and marketization not only saves the huge amount of money consumed by the crackdown on independence every year, but also earns the bulk of the huge income of the criminals.

One positive and one negative, all the money that cannot be counted!

The person who came up with this method is 'really a little genius'.

This move has won the support of the vast majority of Americans.

Those who are poisonous in the west naturally support it with both hands, and they no longer have to hide and hide.

The police don't have to take the risk of firing to stop criminals and drug addicts.

Taxpayers finally don't have to spend their tax revenue on such bad things. Anyway, they don't want to suck it up, and they don't care whether others suck it up or not.

Emmm.

Everyone is happy.

It’s just that in such a big environment, children like Carissa who have no self-control and are curious about everything, because they are more likely to come into contact with calves, the chances of eating them by mistake or trying them with their friends will increase dramatically.

It's the same as when Ya was a child, stealing cigarettes from adults with his friends and imitating adults to smoke.

After being choked a few times, Adam threw it away, and he didn't smoke when he grew up.

But the rest of the friends, many of them enjoy the adults' good things happily, and when they grow up, most of them can't leave cigarettes.

Cigarettes are still like this.

Not to mention the calf whose addiction rate is countless times higher.

At that time, those upper-middle-class people who only want to stop smoking and don’t want to waste their tax revenue will probably find painfully that they can control themselves, but they cannot control their children.

The legendary country that couldn't believe that it had already perished because of evil spirits and poisons, might be able to achieve success and be reborn through a shell.

The world is mysterious, nothing more than this.
