Chapter 239 Iron Poisoning
"What does my stomach ache have to do with cherries? Don't tear cherries out because of your own prejudices."
The girl cheered up and said.
The young man immediately showed a look of dissatisfaction: "I'm just telling the truth, you are like this, how can I have the mood to quarrel with you? Then shouldn't we report the situation to the doctor truthfully? What if it's really Cherry's problem? Woolen cloth?"
But the girl said firmly: "Impossible, absolutely impossible is the problem with the cherries. Many of my colleagues bought the cherries from that fruit shop, and they are all fine."
"I haven't heard that eating fruit can cause stomach pains when I grow up. What's more, those cherries are so fresh, what can happen?"
"Don't just turn right and wrong here just because of your own prejudice."
The young man was obviously very angry at the girl's words. He said angrily: "Wang Tingting is a man, you have to show some conscience, okay? Since your stomach hurts, I have been running up and down to take care of you. So good, can't you feel it?"
"I'm really worried about you."
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Zhao Hua quickly said: "No loud noises are allowed in the hospital. You two should be quiet. If you have any conflicts, go back and resolve them."
Chen Dong nodded: "How many cherries did you eat?"
The young man sighed: "My girlfriend has no other hobbies, except that she likes to eat cherries, but neither of our families are very rich, and we rarely come into contact with this kind of fruit."
"Actually, I don't understand. Aren't they just domestic cherries? If you change the name, the price will double. It's better to buy two catties of cherries."
The young man's words successfully changed the girl's face.
Zhao Hua who was on the side was afraid that they would quarrel again: "Okay, you digressed."
The young man went on to say: "The price of cherries has dropped a lot in the past two days. She bought three boxes of cherries directly at the fruit store and brought them home. The bottom of the three boxes of cherries weighed [-] catties. Now there is still half a box of cherries at home."
In other words, this little girl ate fifty catties of cherries in two days?
Both Chen Dong and Zhao Hua felt very incredible.
The young man smiled wryly: "Although this matter is unimaginable, it is true that she eats cherries for breakfast, eats cherries after lunch at noon, and eats cherries for dinner. Let me tell her a few words, she Just say you're losing weight."
"It's completely easy for her to kill more than [-] catties of cherries in one day."
Even Chen Dong had to admire her for this.
The hero of the female middle school!
It seems that the rumor that girls have two stomachs is true.
Chen Dong carefully wrote down the girl's symptoms.
This condition looks a bit like iron poisoning.
Most people know that cherries contain iron.
The iron content of cherries per 100 is only about 0.3-0.4 mg.
This bit of iron can't play any role in the human body.
So this is why the girl feels that Cheerilee has nothing to do with her illness.
"Besides the symptoms you just mentioned, do you feel sick or want to vomit?"
"Symptoms such as blood in the stool, listlessness, and fatigue."
The girl nodded in embarrassment. She once wondered if she was pregnant.
But after checking it online, pregnancy does not cause blood in the stool.
Later, the situation became more and more serious, so she decided to come to the hospital.
Chen Dongning frowned: "It is preliminarily judged that this is a symptom of iron poisoning, but the specifics need to be checked to be confirmed."
Chen Dong flicked out a few forms: "You go and do these checks first."
The little girl was dumbfounded when she saw so many orders.
"Doctor, I just have a normal stomachache. Do I need to do so many tests?"
"Why do you still need blood routine?"
Chen Dong was helpless: "You don't do blood routines, how do I know if you have iron poisoning?"
"Little girl, I can't tell you what's wrong with me just by saying what's wrong with you, right?"
The girl was a little embarrassed by what Chen Dong said.
"Okay, the doctor asked us to go for an examination, so let's do it. Anyway, you took a day off, so don't be in a hurry."
Chen Dong nodded again and again: "Just listen to your boyfriend this time."
"And if you don't run faster, the laboratory department will be off work."
Hearing these words, the young man quickly dragged the girl and rushed outside.
Chen Dong put down his hand that was about to change clothes just now. It looks like this, he still has to wait for the young couple to come back.
No way, the profession of doctor itself is not free.
Zhao Hua said sympathetically: "I'm sorry Dong Ge, I have to get off work first!"
Seeing the kid's gloating expression, Chen Dong smiled: "Zhao Hua stay and help me."
"You kid still wants to slip away first, it's a beautiful idea!"
Good brothers have to work overtime together.
Zhao Hua: "..."
He seems to have no reason to reject Chen Dong at all, because his current status is just a small intern, and he has to cooperate with the doctor's work.
If he knew this earlier, why would he laugh at Chen Dong?
Isn't this asking for trouble?
Not to mention how depressed Zhao Hua was.
Half an hour later, the young couple came back in a hurry with the checklist.
Serum iron levels are usually greater than 3 mg/L (300 μg/dL).
Tubular epithelial cells containing hemosiderin can be seen in the urine.
Increased white blood cell count and changes in hemoglobin levels.
Fluid loss, increased hematocrit, elevated transaminases.
ECG showed low voltage, ST-segment depression, flat or inverted T wave, bundle branch block.
All the tests showed that the girl was indeed suffering from iron poisoning.
Just as Chen Dong guessed, chronic iron poisoning.
When Chen Dong told this fact, the little girl looked unbelievable.
"No way, there is so little iron in cherries, how could I get iron poisoning?"
Chen Dong sighed helplessly: "Little girl, have you ever heard of what is called accumulating less makes more?"
"Doctor, what should I do with my girlfriend?" The young man looked anxious, with worries about his girlfriend written all over his face.
The little girl was also frightened, she stared blankly at Chen Dong and dared not speak.
Chen Dong put down the checklist, and said earnestly: "Iron poisoning requires hospitalization for observation, you should go through the hospitalization procedures first."
"At the very least, you have to stay in the hospital for observation for more than 48 hours."
After iron poisoning, multiple systems such as the lung, liver, spleen, heart, pancreas, and nerves will be damaged. In severe cases, circulatory failure or shock may occur.Shock, coma, and serum iron levels greater than 500 μg/dL may have a poor prognosis.
So this is why Chen Dong suggested that they leave a message to observe.
"it is good."
After the little girl heard about iron poisoning, she agreed immediately.
She didn't want to put her own life in it.
After the young couple went through the hospital admission procedures, Chen Dong wrote several forms to Zhao Hua.
"You take these sheets to the inpatient department. There are patients' names on them."
After Chen Dong carefully arranged everything, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
Tonight is Director Wang's night shift, so he can get off work.
Chen Dong heaved a sigh of relief, the day's work was finally coming to an end.
