I'm just a veterinarian! You've unlocked the Great Physician System!

Chapter 583 is open to exploration; Veterinarian Zhang personally conducts consultations—this is not

He noticed that the children receiving treatment inside had a new "Explore" tag above their heads.

[The current host is in the pediatric ward. An explorable tag has been detected. Do you wish to explore it?]

This is the prompt that appears before you.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Xiaochuan?"

When Shen Ziwen heard Zhang Lingchuan say "wait a moment," his expression immediately became full of doubt.

"This child's condition isn't quite right. Let's go with Dr. Yu to take a look before we go over. The patient is the most important thing."

Zhang Lingchuan entered the consultation room.

[The current host has chosen to actively explore and has gained 200 professional reputation points, which have been awarded.]

It's impossible to ignore it.

Furthermore, this quest grants 200 class reputation points, and you can get 200 class reputation points just by going through it once. I'm not at the point where I look down on 200 reputation points.

Secondly, he also wanted to know why the child popped up a "Exploreable" notification, and why it was in red.

Upon closer inspection, the child's skin was flushed red.

My whole body felt like it had been scalded.

Could it be that it has been soaking in water for too long?
[The current host can perform a scan... The system is currently scanning.]

Taking your time to see patients regularly can indeed help you develop your skills.

But at this point, he decided to speedrun it.

Because watching it slowly takes too long.

"Ok?"

When Yu Shushuang heard Dr. Xiaochuan say that he wanted to stay here with her, an unprecedented look of surprise appeared on her face.

This is not a good thing.

Based on experience and online examples, if Dr. Ogawa takes the initiative to visit someone, it means that person is in danger, either seriously ill or critically ill.

"Zhang, Zhang the veterinarian..."

The child's mother, Chen Ying, felt a sudden pang in her heart when she saw Zhang Lingchuan.

She recognized this person; he was the veterinarian Zhang from the internet.

The reason I'm here today is 99.99% because Dr. Zhang works at this hospital, so I feel a strange sense of trust in him.

Ultimately, Chen Ying didn't want the veterinarian to treat her child.

Because this means the child might...

"Hello ma'am, could you tell me what's wrong with this child?"

After Zhang Lingchuan entered, he went straight to the point and asked.

"I don't know either. My child was fine last night, but woke up like this this morning!"

Chen Ying spoke with a pained expression.

After all, with her child in this state, she, as a mother, was heartbroken.

"Could it be an allergic reaction in the child?!"

Shen Ziwen asked in confusion.

Allergies in children can also cause redness and rashes all over the body.

"Huh, he doesn't have a rash, but his whole body is red and he's not even conscious!"

However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that it was completely different from what he had expected; the disease did not cause a rash.

"Indeed, I initially thought it was a burn."

Yu Shushuang also found it strange, as there were no signs of burns on her skin.

This red color seemed to originate from within the body.

"Did the child eat something strange?"

Zhang Lingchuan inquired.

Yu Shushuang also pricked up her ears.

Either you burned yourself, or you ate something you shouldn't have, which is why your skin looks like this.

"I didn't drink anything, just normal milk."

Chen Ying replied.

"Drinking milk? Ms. Chen, did you bring your baby's bottle?"

Zhang Lingchuan inquired about the baby bottle.

"No, I left the bottles at home. Generally, we wash the bottles after the baby finishes eating and then put them in the sterilizer to sterilize them. The bottles are definitely fine."

Chen Ying replied.

It seems that Dr. Zhang doubts the necessity of using baby bottles.

Their baby bottles are sterilized on time.

"Okay, let's put the child on the bed and check on him."

The child was quickly put away.

Zhang Lingchuan walked over, then pried open the child's mouth and sniffed it.

"what--"

He frowned.

First, the scan results will definitely be available.

But his principle is that while treating and saving lives, one must first protect oneself.

Therefore, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

"What's wrong, Dr. Zhang... Children's breath usually has a bit of a milky smell."

Chen Ying originally wanted to ask what happened to Veterinarian Zhang.

But thinking about it, we're in the hospital now, so calling me a veterinarian isn't appropriate. Instead, I'll call him Dr. Zhang.

The other person took a sniff.

I wondered if it tasted like milk.

Drinking milk for a long time and not brushing your teeth can actually cause bad breath.

"Don't you think the smell of the child's breath is a bit strange? I don't think it smells like milk at all."

Zhang Lingchuan said to the child's mother.

"Huh? The smell is a bit strange?"

After Zhang Lingchuan made these remarks, everyone's expressions showed a puzzled look; what was so strange about it?

"You know what, it does have a slightly strange taste, it doesn't really taste like milk."

Out of curiosity, Yu Shushuang stepped forward and took a sniff.

"Hmm, there really is, it smells like alcohol???"

Shen Ziwen nodded frantically.

Moreover, in his opinion, it tasted very much like alcohol.

"What... what is this smell? It really does taste a bit like alcohol! But why does a child's mouth taste like alcohol?!"

The child's mother, Chen Ying, also sniffed the air, just like the three doctors.

The other person looked puzzled.

Because it smelled like alcohol, but where would a child get the smell of alcohol?

This doesn't make sense!
"So, as the child's mother, I have to ask you, why does your child's breath smell of alcohol? Did you give your child alcohol? A normal infant's liver is not fully developed, and the activity of the enzymes that break down alcohol is only 10%-20% of that of an adult. Their tolerance to alcohol is almost zero; a few drops can be fatal!"

Zhang Lingchuan said solemnly.

This is what he finds strange: the child looks to be only seven or eight months old, but his breath has a strong smell of alcohol.

If it really is a perverse sense of humor.

This person should be reported to the police and arrested.

If the family members are foolish enough to think they can joke like this with their child, then it can only be said that... the child's fate is sealed in the hands of the family.

"Mom, during your family gatherings, did any of the older folks dip their chopsticks in alcohol and then put them in the child's mouth? If so, it's very dangerous for the child!"

Yu Shushuang finally understood why the child's whole body had turned red and he was even somewhat unconscious.

The other person was most likely under the influence of alcohol; I've seen similar cases before.

While eating together, some of the older members of the family who were drinking thought the child was cute, so they dipped their chopsticks in a little wine and put it in the child's mouth.

They think that a few drops of alcohol are harmless and that it's okay to taste it, and they even adhere to the old-fashioned idea that alcohol tolerance should be built up from childhood. Little do they know that infants and young children's bodies are really powerless against alcohol.

As Dr. Ogawa said, alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde, which is more toxic, after entering the body. It directly erodes liver cells. Even a few drops of alcohol on chopsticks can cause liver cell necrosis and irreversible liver damage. In severe cases, it can directly induce liver failure in infants and young children. Just 6-10 grams of 50-proof liquor is enough to take the life of an infant.

"Impossible! We don't usually have family gatherings, and this morning it was just my mother-in-law with the child. I don't know how things got like this!"

Chen Ying immediately denied it.

That's completely untrue.

How could they give alcohol to a child!
Such a perverse sense of humor is utterly impossible.

"I see... Judging from the smell of alcohol on their mouths, I think it's more likely that they drank alcohol. In other words, is it possible that the child accidentally ingested it?"

Zhang Lingchuan continued to inquire.

"Accidentally ingested... How could someone accidentally ingest alcohol for no reason! Veterinarian Zhang, no one in our family would do such a thing, and our family atmosphere is quite harmonious. My mother-in-law especially loves her granddaughter very much!"

Chen Ying replied.

Children should never drink alcohol.

My mother-in-law isn't the kind of person who would poison a child. "But look, the child smells very strongly of alcohol, and his overall physical condition is like he's been drinking. So I hope you can ask your mother-in-law if he really has been drinking alcohol, so we can treat him accordingly. At the same time, we will also have the child's blood sugar tested, blood gas analysis, and blood ethanol concentration checked to see if he has alcohol poisoning."

Going for a checkup is certainly an option.

But the quickest thing to do is to let the family members ask them themselves.

Once the direction is determined, treatment can begin immediately.

"Well... I'll ask my husband, he's home right now!"

Chen Ying picked up her phone and dialed her husband's number.

At this moment, in another three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a certain residential area of Chunshi.

"Hey honey, what's going on...?"

It was a sleepy voice.

Chen Ying's husband.

Previously, I worked in the civil engineering field.

However, the industry as a whole has recently experienced a downturn.

In addition, her husband's salary for the whole year has not been paid in full, so she now works as a substitute driver at night to supplement the family income.

As is well known, most designated drivers earn more money at night.

After all, there's a price to pay for drinking.

There are usually no orders during the day.

The reason she didn't have her husband come with her and bring the child was that he had just gotten off work and needed to rest.

I didn't mean to bother you.

But there's no other way now.

We must call and find out.

"Honey, the doctor said something's not quite right with our baby."

Chen Ying said to her husband on the other end of the phone.

"Something's not quite right. What do you mean?"

The man had only been lying down for a short while.

Being woken up from sleep is generally quite unpleasant.

But the moment he heard his wife on the other end of the phone say that the child's condition wasn't good, the man came to his senses.

I want to know what my wife meant.

What the doctors at the hospital said.

"It's like this, our baby's breath smells of alcohol, and the doctor suspects that he may have been drinking!"

Chen Ying said.

"Drinking? Are you kidding me! How could such a small child possibly drink alcohol!"

The man froze.

"Doctor, isn't that nonsense?!"

And he cursed angrily.

After all, it's an eight-month-old baby, and you're saying the other person drank alcohol.

This is even more absurd than bullshit.

"Actually, I think so too, but my child does have a smell of alcohol in his mouth. I used to think it was the smell of milk he drank and not brushing his teeth, but now that I smell it carefully, it smells like alcohol."

Chen Ying said.

"Which hospital are you going to? You need to go to a provincial people's hospital or a top-tier hospital like the First Affiliated Hospital of Sichuan University, not a small hospital! The doctors there are all quacks!"

The man asked his wife directly.

I want to know which hospital the other person went to.

"At the Provincial People's Hospital, we even ran into Veterinarian Zhang. It was under his care that we were able to smell the alcohol."

Chen Ying answered her husband.

"What the hell? It's Veterinarian Zhang!"

The man was utterly shocked.

After all, it's about being a designated driver.

Regular chatting is a must.

I also know Dr. Zhang.

I've also heard about their deeds.

That's why I recommend going to the First Affiliated Hospital of Peking University and the Provincial People's Hospital.

With a veterinarian at the hospital, the overall situation won't be too bad.

And now you're telling him that Dr. Ogawa saw his daughter and told him that his daughter had been drinking!
If another doctor said this...

He thought it was complete nonsense.

But if it's Veterinarian Zhang, then this is no joke at all.

Because many seemingly absurd things eventually turn out to be true.

"So the hospital wants to ask if the baby has accidentally ingested any alcohol or anything like that. Mom took care of the baby last night, why don't you ask Mom?"

Around one or two in the morning, the little one became quite restless.

I have to work the early shift the next day.

So I gave it to my mom to take.

This morning, just as I was leaving for work, I heard my mother rushing over, saying that she couldn't wake the child no matter how she called him.

Her husband didn't come back either.

She rushed back and took the child to the hospital.

Her husband was driving and picking up a fare at the time.

Her salary is a little lower.

And it's also easier to take a short leave of absence to come back.

She came back.

After all, the husband was busy driving his clients home; he couldn't very well leave them stranded on the way.

Later, the other party finished their work.

She said she would take responsibility.

Let your husband get some rest.

There's no need for so many people to come to the hospital.

She can handle it all by herself.

In the end, it still had to trouble her husband.

"Mom...giving the child alcohol? How could that be! Absolutely impossible! Mom isn't my stepmother! This is her own grandson! Fine, I'll go ask her!"

The man felt he still needed to ask.

He immediately went outside.

"Dabao! How is the baby?!"

She was an older woman who looked slightly haggard.

"Mom, the doctor at the hospital asked you if you gave the child alcohol. They said our baby's whole body is red and he can't be woken up no matter what they do, probably because he drank alcohol!"

"I asked the man."

Although he didn't want to believe it.

But they did find the taste of alcohol in the child's mouth.

We still need to ask.

"Drinking! How could I! Why would I give a child alcohol for no reason! This is just trying to smear me! I'm an old man, why would I harm a child!"

The old lady was immediately excited.

He started speaking incoherently.

It's mainly unreasonable.

And it's purely a smear campaign against her, an attempt to slander her!

She was perfectly fine; why would she feed alcohol to her child?

"Mom, don't get agitated. We'll ask around at the hospital. It might not be that the child drank alcohol; it could be something else!"

"what!!"
