When the Doctor Uses A Hack

The man was well aware that speaking these words was asking for trouble!

It could mean they would no longer get along with the old Tian family.

But... he couldn’t just sell his daughter off!

No matter how disgraceful she might become, no matter how bad, no matter what, she was still his daughter.

Really, if it came out that his daughter was pregnant and was also using some sort of messed-up substances, how could she ever get married in the future?

So, the man had to take care of this matter himself.

But, he also couldn’t allow the Tian family to be wronged, right?

What did he think they were, a recycling center?

Expect them to take over someone else’s child?

Is that what decent people do?

Hearing the man’s words, Tian Zhen was momentarily stunned, "This... Uncle, I..."

The man waved his hand, "Old Tian, I’m sorry, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Jiajia might not be in the right state to get married now. Let’s talk about this issue later."

"You all should go back early; it’s getting late. Jiajia’s mother and I are here, so don’t worry."

Tian Zhen’s father was no fool. Although he was baffled, he vaguely sensed something was off but didn’t say anything. He just nodded, "Mhm, call if you need anything."

After saying that, the family got up and left.

As the Tian family left, the man took a deep breath. That was that for this matter...

And the woman understood that things were not as simple as she had thought. Old Yang must be hiding something from her!

Thinking this, she stared at the man and asked sternly, "Old Yang, don’t scare me, what exactly happened?"

The man shook his head, "I’ll tell you when we get back. You sit there and rest for a while; I’m going to check on the girl."

Upon hearing this, the woman couldn’t sit still and said directly, "I’m coming with you!"

And she followed him without waiting for an answer.

Chen Cang didn’t stop the two of them. Now the situation was quite complicated, and it was no longer just a matter of treatment!

It had escalated to the matter of keeping or terminating the pregnancy.

Even more so, Chen Cang, looking at the clothes and style of the man and woman, felt that probably once they knew the girl was alright, they would transfer her to another hospital.

Indeed, the man looked at Chen Cang and asked, "Doctor Chen... is this "laughing gas" thing serious?"

"What I’m thinking is, could we terminate the pregnancy first and then proceed with treatment?"

Hearing these words, the woman was suddenly at a loss, "What laughing gas?"

"What do you mean terminate the pregnancy?"

She felt as though her entire worldview was shattering.

The girl was pregnant?

And... she had been inhaling laughing gas?

At that thought, the woman felt her breathing becoming rapid.

They were well off in their family, otherwise... they wouldn’t have sent the girl abroad.

She had heard from some friends about the phenomenon of "balloon huffing" abroad.

But...

What did that have to do with her own daughter?

Most importantly, in her heart, her daughter had always been the good girl.

She rarely even talked back!

How could she do such a thing?

Pregnant!

Inhaling laughing gas!

Isn’t this something those typically depraved and ignorant American girls do?

But Jiajia is from a prestigious U.S. university.

Thinking of this, the woman felt a tightness in her heart, suddenly found it hard to accept, and as she thought more about it, the more it hurt, the more angry she became, until she accidentally fell to the ground.

Chen Cang was stunned too!

One patient had turned into two...

The girl sat on the hospital bed, her face and expression indifferent, lost in thought, but when she suddenly saw her mother fall to the ground, she was so scared that she hurriedly tried to get up and go to her.

But her limbs were so weak that she fell to the ground as well, sobbing with a choked voice, "Mom, I was wrong..."

Suddenly, the entire emergency room plunged into chaos.

Chen Cang, helpless, quickly called Lele to start another round of resuscitation.

After the woman took nitroglycerine under her tongue, the pain in her chest eased.

An ECG was done, no myocardial infarction, just some myocardial ischemia, merely caused by emotional excitement leading to cardiovascular spasm and angina.

After breathing oxygen for over ten minutes, the wrinkles between the woman’s eyebrows finally relaxed.

And the daughter was lifted back onto the bed.

After much turmoil, the family finally settled down.

At this moment, the person most distraught wasn’t Chen Cang and the others, but that middle-aged man.

Originally, when his child went abroad for studies, especially to a prestigious school, the family was overjoyed.

But now... Seeing her like this, the man even felt a bit of regret.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman took the oxygen off from under her nose and said, "I’m fine, I’m fine!"

After saying that, she got out of bed, put on her shoes, and looked at Chen Cang, "Doctor... Is my daughter in serious condition? I heard that inhaling too much of that stuff can cause disability, is that true?"

Chen Cang nodded, not denying it.

However, the girl’s condition wasn’t so certain at present.

At this, tears streamed down the woman’s face, "My girl... why would you touch this stuff? Don’t you know it’s a poison?"

The girl kept shaking her head, also sobbing, "I didn’t know at first, but everyone said it was non-toxic, and that... it didn’t damage important organs like the lungs, liver, and kidneys, and wasn’t addictive... So I tried it, I thought it was okay."

"After all... we often see this in the lab, I never took it seriously, I didn’t think about it at all, and they all use it, even saying it’s less harmful than smoking or drinking, so I tried it..."

The man, after hearing this, also looked anxiously at Chen Cang, "Doctor, what exactly is that laughing gas? I’ve heard of it, but I don’t understand it very well..."

Actually, what the girl said wasn’t wrong, but it was somewhat one-sided.

Chen Cang explained, "Actually, what she said is true, laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide, was originally an anaesthetic used for respiratory anaesthesia, and it’s non-irritating, without side effects on important organs like the liver, heart, spleen, lungs, and kidneys!"

"Even! It doesn’t undergo any biotransformation or degradation in the body, and most of it is expelled from the body through exhalation, with only a small amount evaporating through the skin, without any accumulation."

"In addition, inhaling it for only 30s-40s can produce analgesic effects, which are strong while its anaesthetic effects are weak. The patient remains conscious, avoiding complications from general anaesthesia, and recovers quickly after surgery."

Sighing, Chen Cang continued, "A small amount is harmless, but those who created it never imagined that people would treat it as a toy, let alone that some would inhale so much and turn it into a recreational pastime!"

"What she has now is a typical case of nitrous oxide poisoning, mainly characterized by a long-term lack of vitamin B12, which leads to demyelinating changes, affecting motor nerves, and indeed can lead to disability over time."

"But looking at her current nerve conduction studies and electromyography, her condition isn’t too severe, and I believe she will respond well to treatment!"
