Chapter 263: Problems in the Laboratory

When Director Zhou and the others saw Deputy Director Chen chatting enthusiastically with Bai Zhi and Shen Qian, a strange look crossed their faces.

"Deputy Director Chen is really proactive," Expert Wang said sarcastically.

"Yes, I came over after I finished eating."

Deputy Director Chen was polite to everyone, but Expert Wang didn't let him off the hook. "Deputy Director Chen is getting old and doesn't need much sleep. If we don't take a nap at noon, we won't have any energy in the afternoon."

Deputy Director Chen didn't respond; he continued reading his book.

But Bai Zhi couldn't stand the man's sarcastic words. "Dr. Wang, this isn't because you're young and sleep a lot. I think it's a sign of physical weakness."

He looked Wang up and down, his tone meaningful, "You don't look very well. Could you stick out your tongue so I can take a look?"

“I am in very good health. I am a doctor myself, so I don’t need to trouble Dr. Bai.”

"A doctor cannot heal himself."

Dr. Wang was afraid that Bai Zhi would say he was weak again, so he coughed heavily twice, cleared his throat, and tried to perk himself up so that Bai Zhi wouldn't have a chance to find fault with him.

He's a professional doctor, how could he possibly be physically weak?

Even if I feel tired sometimes, it's because of the hard work.

As the team leader, Bai Zhi devised a plan, and everyone began to get to work.

Around 4 p.m., everyone went to the laboratory.

As soon as Dr. Wang entered, he exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on here?"

"Didn't our Dr. Bai say that the acupuncture treatment was supposed to keep it under control for twelve hours? It's only been six hours, how come it's already flared up?"

"Dr. Xiaobai, come quickly and see what's wrong."

Bai Zhi heard his strange cry and ran over. When she saw the rat struggling and thrashing in the cage, her expression turned slightly serious.

"Let me see."

She instructed Shen Qian, "Dr. Shen, please check the test results."

Shen Qian quickly got into work mode, noting that her blood oxygen levels were high and her heart rate was faster than normal.

"These are symptoms of poisoning."

Bai Zhi took out a silver needle and inserted it directly into the skin.

Deputy Director Chen asked, "Dr. Xiaobai, what's going on?"

“If I’m not mistaken, someone came in during the process,” she said. “It’s obvious the rats were re-injected with the drug.”

She even speculated that the other party might not just want the rats to regrow their fur, but intended to kill them outright.

Unfortunately, she had previously used acupuncture to control its acupoints, so even with the medication re-administered, the acupoint blocking method saved its life.

Without saying much, she quickly began to provide first aid.

Once the rats calmed down, she looked at everyone present with a stern expression and said, "I will explain the situation to Vice President Li and request an investigation."

Director Zhou observed the rat's condition and asked, "Dr. Xiao Bai, could there be a mistake? After all, the acupuncture point structure in animals is different from that in humans. Is it a matter of controlling the acupuncture time?"

Others echoed and agreed.

"No." Bai Zhi's tone was firm, her face somber, and she wouldn't argue with them.

She despises whoever did it.

It turns out that doctors in so-called big hospitals are nothing special.

At this moment, she understood the saying even more clearly: wherever there are people, there is competition.

She asked Shen Qian to keep an eye on things in the lab while she went to find Vice Dean Li.

Just as she reached the door, a figure hurriedly walked towards her.

"Xiaobai, where are you?" Lu Shan asked anxiously.

Seeing her anxious expression, Bai Zhi also became nervous. "Dr. Lu, what's wrong?"

"We have a patient in our department who needs your consultation."

"Oh, okay."

At this moment, the other doctors also came out of the laboratory. Lu Shan explained to them, "You all can work here. Dr. Bai Zhi can come with me."

After speaking, he grabbed the angelica root and ran to the orthopedic surgery department.

The other doctors watched their figures, their expressions slightly tense.

"Dr. Lu just said that he wanted Bai Zhi to go for a consultation?"

"Did you only call her for the consultation?" Expert Wang looked at Director Zhou.

Director Zhou didn't reply, but coughed lightly and turned to leave.

Soon, Bai Zhi followed Lu Shan to the ward.

Several doctors were standing in the ward, observing the patient's condition.

Lu Shan brought Bai Zhi in, and without even introducing everyone, went straight to the bedside and explained the situation.

"This is a patient we just admitted. We noticed something in the test results and would like you to come and take a look."

Bai Zhi looked at the pale, unconscious woman on the hospital bed and took her pulse first.

"Her pulse is unusual," Bai Zhi asked. "What's wrong with her? Did she have surgery?"

Lu Shan nodded, "Yes, I injured my thigh and just had surgery. All my indicators were going to be normal, but after all the test results came out today, they found something wrong."

"Give me all the test reports."

Bai Zhi sat down in the chair with a serious expression, took the various test reports given to her by Lu Shan, and her expression became more and more solemn as she read them.

"There is indeed a problem."

"Preliminary assessment suggests that she has been taking a hallucinogenic drug called DF. Further confirmation will be needed after she wakes up."

Is it more serious than Lu Ye's case?

Bai Zhi explained, "Lu Ye was injected with a mixture of multiple drugs, while this comrade was injected with a single drug, but in a large dose. The biggest characteristic of this drug is that it takes effect slowly in the body and has a long cycle of onset. It is easy to overlook at the beginning, leading to misdiagnosis and even delaying the best detoxification period. If the drug poisoning is not cleared within three months, it will affect the internal organs and cause multiple organ failure."

"The symptoms of this drug include numbness, lethargy, and, after eroding the nervous system, mental disorder and abnormality..."

Lu Shan was astonished that Bai Zhi was so familiar with these medicinal poisons, and could describe them in such detail, from their names to their medicinal properties.

At this moment, she couldn't ask her why she knew so much.

All the doctors there only cared about one question: "Dr. Xiaobai, you have a solution, right?"

This comrade is extremely important to everyone.

"You can give it a try."

As a doctor, the worst thing you can do is make absolute statements or give guarantees.

But her answer relieved everyone present.

Bai Zhi asked, "What's the situation now? When will she wake up?"

"The combined effects of the anesthetic and painkillers put me to sleep, and it should have been about an hour."

This time, Lu Shan and her team had learned from experience. After noticing something was wrong from the test results, they promptly contacted Bai Zhi to prevent her from having an attack after waking up, which could cause the wound from the recent surgery to tear.
