Chapter 256 Food Poisoning
They were busy all the time until 3:30 in the afternoon. It was only when the radio sounded the time that Zhang Jun and his colleagues went to inform the patients who were still waiting in line: the consultation hours were over!
This radio in the clinic was purchased with Gu Zhenqi's own money, as he understood that patients might get bored waiting in line, suffer from pain and wait, which could easily cause them to become irritable and lead to conflicts.
Every day, as soon as the clinic opens, the radio will be turned on on time and adjusted to the maximum volume to ensure that people inside and outside the clinic can hear it clearly!
There are also many elderly people nearby who, when they have nothing to do, bring a small stool from their homes and sit nearby, listening to the radio.
There are not many radio stations available at this time, and the old man’s favorite programs are crosstalk and opera!
Among the elderly people who came, there were inevitably some amateur fans. When they were in the mood, Gu Zhenqi could even hear them singing along with the radio.
Her small clinic had unknowingly become a lively place in the city.
As the owner of this clinic, Gu Zhenqi is beautiful, kind and always leaves a good impression on people!
Whether they are patients or residents staying for a short time, they will chat with her from time to time.
Gu Zhenqi herself was not arrogant. In her previous life, she had a wide range of knowledge and could chat with anyone...
She follows current news, reads gossips, and reads a wide range of books, in order to avoid living in endless pain and guilt...
After work, she would constantly find things to fill her time, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and various other skills.
In short, she asked her personal assistant to list all the projects she could learn, and then she would tackle them one by one.
She doesn't have the ability to read ten lines at a glance or remember everything she sees, but she's not stupid either.
When it comes to learning, because of her hard work, indomitable will, strong will, and willingness to spend time, she has learned a lot of knowledge without realizing it.
Gu Zhenqi personally verified that knowledge can change destiny!
Because she was well-informed, she was always able to have similar interests with her partners and talk freely during business negotiations in her previous life...
They were not afraid of the stage and were very much pursuing win-win results, so the cooperation was reached naturally!
Thinking back on these things, she couldn't help feeling empty inside, because those were exchanged for her lifetime of loneliness.
She raised her head, looked at the man who was looking at her with tenderness and pity, and smiled. Fortunately, everything in this life was so beautiful!
She quickly tidied up her desk, gave Zhang Jun and the others some instructions, and looked at Chen Kuo gently.
"Come on, let's go pick up the kids from school!"
It was just a simple and ordinary sentence, but it actually fulfilled her deepest desire in her past and present life!
He just smiled gently: "Okay!"
Two people walked out of the clinic side by side. Not all the patients had left yet. Some at the end of the line were registering so that they could be given priority for treatment tomorrow.
Seeing Gu Zhenqi and Chen Kuo coming out, everyone looked at Chen Kuo secretly. With a gentle smile on his face, he greeted Gu Zhenqi warmly.
"Doctor Gu is off work, please be careful on the road!"
"Doctor Gu, please come to see me early tomorrow. My stomach hurts so much. I don't want to feel any more pain tomorrow."
Gu Zhenqi paused, glanced at his face, took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to him:
"You have food poisoning. There is no time to waste. Take this right away! Go home and have a good rest tonight. There is a three-day supply of medicine in the bottle. Come back for a checkup after you finish taking it!"
Hearing that he had food poisoning, the man was very puzzled and looked confused:
"Doctor Gu, this is impossible. How could I have food poisoning? I ate the beans and potatoes that my mother stewed for me at noon."
"Then do you think the beans and potatoes you ate are different from what you usually eat?"
Hearing this, the man really thought about it carefully and seriously, as if he was savoring the taste of what he had eaten at noon. He smacked his lips twice and spoke uncertainly:
"It doesn't seem to be any different. It's just a little saltier than usual. I guess my mother took my advice to heart. She usually doesn't even bother to add salt when cooking. So there's no taste at all?"
Gu Zhenqi saw that the doubt on his face had not dissipated. She thought it would take him half a day to recall the past. She was in a hurry to pick up the children from school, so she simply said it for him:
"The potatoes you ate at noon may have sprouted, and the beans were not fully cooked. This is the main cause of your food poisoning!"
The man was a little puzzled after hearing this. He was a rough man who had experienced hardships. When he was a child, there was a famine. He was so hungry that he ate tree roots and grass...
He also ate raw potatoes a lot. It was okay then, but now life is better and food is cooked. How could he get food poisoning?
He doesn't believe that his rough body is so delicate?
He waved his hand and sneered in disbelief:
"Hey, Doctor Gu, I'm afraid this is a bit of an exaggeration? My mother came back late at noon, and she was in a hurry to cook, so the dishes she made were a bit half-cooked. It's not like I haven't eaten this before, so why am I poisoned now?"
Other patients had the same doubts as him and expressed their opinions:
"Yes, Doctor Gu, have we also eaten half-cooked vegetables at home? Besides, when potatoes are green and have sprouts, we will peel off the skin and eat them again. They will be fine. We definitely can't throw them away. It's such a waste! Everyone has experienced the days of hunger. It's not easy to have food to eat. How can you bear to throw them away?"
"Don't they say that only poisonous mushrooms and wild vegetables can cause food poisoning? How can potatoes and beans, which we usually eat, cause poisoning?"
"That's right, Doctor Gu, we don't understand this. If even the food we normally eat can cause food poisoning, then what can we eat in the future?"
"."
Wow, three people make a scene. These ten or so people are talking to each other, and have turned into curious babies. After a busy day, their heads are muddy, and after hearing their noise, they just feel buzzing.
Chen Kuo noticed her abnormality and stretched out his hand to suppress her:
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Doctor Gu is exhausted after a long day. This noise is giving her a headache. After all, there is only one question. Let's hear what Doctor Gu has to say."
As he spoke, he stretched out his strong and powerful arms behind her, loosely supporting her in a protective gesture!
If the times had not affected his performance, Chen Kuo would have hugged his wife, who was frowning and rubbing his temples with her fingertips, in his arms!
Gu Zhenqi knew that if she used professional medical terms, people would not understand her. As she had limited time, she said the simplest and clearest words:
“Potatoes, beans, and other foods we eat regularly, as long as they are cooked correctly and thoroughly, will not be harmful to the human body!
Green potatoes with sprouts will produce harmful substances, and green beans that are not cooked thoroughly will also produce toxins.
Today, this comrade happened to eat green potatoes and uncooked beans, which caused food poisoning!
Let me write a safety manual when I have time, and you can all look it up for reference. I have something else to do today, so I’ll leave first! ”
The times make up a generation!
People nowadays are still at the stage of having enough food to eat, and have not yet achieved the goal of eating well and exquisitely!
No matter how much you talk, it may not necessarily change their deeply rooted ideas?
She simply explains it briefly and then writes a booklet for patients who come to see her as a reference.
"Okay, Dr. Gu, take care!"
"Dr. Gu, see you tomorrow!"
"Thank you, Dr. Gu!"
"."
These patients still silently remembered what Gu Zhenqi had just said and had their own thoughts in mind.
The man who got the medicine was still not sure whether he had really suffered from food poisoning. After all, this was something he had never seen before.
He has lived for almost thirty years and has never heard of or seen anything like it?
Even so, the pain in his stomach did not stop him from swallowing a pill given to him by Gu Zhenqi with his saliva.
