Chapter 54: yellow flower

   Chapter 54 Yellow Flower

  Lu Chen frowned slightly, he stood up slowly, with a puzzled face, he and the 12-bed female patient came to the corner of the corridor of the ward.

   "Auntie, what are you looking for?"

  The woman looked hesitant, looked left and right, opened her mouth, wanted to speak, but paused again.

  Is there really a secret?

   Seeing the woman's appearance, Lu Chen couldn't help but have a hint of association.

   He remembered that on the first day this 12-bed female patient came to the department, she said that she had quarreled with her husband.

   And while she was in the hospital, she never had family visits.

   Is it because of family conflicts...

   Just as Lu Chen was thinking about it, the woman opened her red envelope.

   pulled out a white handkerchief, which seemed to be wrapped in something.

   "Doctor Lu, look what this is..."

The    woman spreads out her handkerchief.

   In her handkerchief is a yellow flower.

   This flower has dark green leaves, light green back, midrib sinking in the leaves, flat petioles, terminal cymes, and dark yellow corolla.

   "Auntie, you are..."

  Lu Chen looked at the female patient suspiciously, not understanding what she was going to do with a flower.

   The female patient frowned and said solemnly, "Doctor Lu, haven't you been asking me if I have eaten anything recently?"

  Lu Chen was taken aback for a moment, looked at the yellow petals in his hand, and then looked at the woman in front of him.

   "Auntie, you, shouldn't you eat this flower?"

The    woman didn't respond immediately, she sighed.

   "Doctor Lu, you can help me check first, is it possible that my poisoning has something to do with this flower?"

   After hearing this, Lu Chen focused his eyes on the yellow flower in front of him again.

   Could it be said that this flower also has a cardiotonic effect similar to "Digitalis"?

   "This kind of flower should be very common." Lu Chen frowned.

  Although he couldn't name the flower, Lu Chen felt like he had seen this kind of flower before.

   What he was sure of was that this flower was definitely not a rare species.

The    woman nodded: "Well, you can find it nearby."

   Lu Chen heard the words, took the handkerchief, and looked at the flower carefully.

   for a long time.

  Lu Chen didn't see anything.

   He suddenly thought that the current search engine has the function of "photo recognition".

   Immediately took a photo and uploaded the "yellow flower" photo to the search engine.

   But the output results are all kinds of strange.

   Mainly because the characteristics of this yellow flower are not obvious.

   Therefore, all flowers that are yellow, appear in the search results bar.

   It seems that using this "photo recognition" function will not work!

   "Auntie, give me this flower first, and I'll go and ask for you."

"okay."

  The woman handed the flower to Lu Chen.

  Lu Chen covered him with toilet paper.

   This thing might be poisonous, so be careful.

  …

   Back to the doctor's office.

  Lu Chen took out the "yellow flower" in his hand and identified it to everyone in the group.

   "Sister, do you know this kind of flower?"

  Sun Guoguo looked at "Yellow Flower", then shook his head.

   "I can't even tell the difference between wheat and rice, so don't show me this."

  Lu Chen: "…"

   "Junior Brother, what are you asking about this flower? Where did you get the flower?" Sun Guoguo wondered.

  Lu Chen quickly said, "It's the female patient in bed 12. She said she ate this kind of flower."

   "Eat flowers?" Sun Guoguo asked in surprise, "Why eat flowers?"

  Lu Chen shook his head.

   "I don't know. As soon as I keep asking, she doesn't answer."

   Afterwards, Ke Yue and Dong Hao also looked at the "yellow flower" for a while and shook their heads.

   This flower looks very familiar.

   But to say what kind, no one can say.

   "Show me."

  Jiang Qingyan suddenly spoke from the side.

  Lu Chen was stunned for a while, and then handed "Yellow Flower" to Jiang Qingyan.

   "By the way, Xiaoyan, you usually like to grow flowers. You should know what kind of flower it is." Ke Yue smiled.

  Jiang Qingyan did not speak, and carefully wrapped the rhizome of "Yellow Flower" with toilet paper.

   After observing for a while, she frowned slightly.

   "The scientific name of this flower should be oleander."

   Oleander?

   Everyone looked puzzled.

   "Actually, this kind of flower is very common." Jiang Qingyan said softly, "Mainly in the tropics, but it is planted in parks, flower beds and lakesides in southern my country."

   "Is this flower poisonous?" Lu Chen frowned.

   "Such a common flower shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Ke Yue whispered aside.

   Dong Hao also agrees: "There are many such flowers in my hometown, I have never heard of anyone being poisoned"

"I don't know much about toxicity." Jiang Qingyan returned the "yellow flower" to Lu Chen, "However, this flower is widely planted in China, and it has anti-smog, anti-dust, anti-toxic, air-purifying, and environmental protection properties. Ability, but also must have ornamental value.”

   "Well, thank you." Lu Chen nodded.

  Although the toxicity of this plant is still unclear, Jiang Qingyan has helped a lot, at least identifying the type of plant.

   "I'll check the Internet after get off work."

  Lu Chen wrapped the yellow flowers in toilet paper and prepared to put them in the open space in the duty room.

   "No need to check"

   At this time, Li Yao suddenly walked into the doctor's office.

   She looked around the crowd and said softly:

   "Bamboo oleander is indeed poisonous!"

   As soon as the voice fell, everyone was shocked.

   Just listen to Li Yao continue:

   "Oleander is one of the most poisonous plants, containing a variety of toxins, some of which are deadly. It is extremely poisonous, with reports of small or near fatalities."

   "The most abundant of these toxins are cardiac glycosides and neriine. Cardiac glycosides are natural plant or animal toxins that have both positive and toxic effects on the heart, similar to digitalis."

   "These toxins can be found in various parts of the oleander."

   "The clinical manifestations of oleander poisoning are similar to those of digoxin poisoning, including gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological dysfunction, and arrhythmias."

   Everyone suddenly realized.

   "Yellow Flower" is oleander, which has a similar effect to "Digitalis".

   In other words, the 12-bed patient was indeed caused by the poisoning effect of digitalis because of eating "oleander"!

   It all makes sense!

   "Yes, but, why does she eat oleander?" Sun Guoguo asked a question that everyone knew.

   Everyone looked at each other, each with their own guesses.

   Lu Chen has been playing drums in his heart.

   This won't be guessed by yourself, right?

  After quarrel and domestic violence, is it a family ethics drama?

   "We just need to tell the patient what we know." Li Yao said, "Don't guess."

   "Okay." Lu Chen nodded.

   This female patient is in charge of him.

   This oleander thing should be told to the patient by him personally.

  …

  Beside the 12-bed bed, Lu Chen stood up straight.

   "Auntie, this yellow flower is called oleander, and it is indeed poisonous." Lu Chen said.

   "Really?"

   "Well, Auntie, why did you eat flowers? Mistakenly or...other reasons?"

   The expression on the woman's face was very surprised.

   "Doctor Lu, when did I say I ate this yellow flower?"
