"Hey, what are you looking for?" Su Yun asked curiously when he saw Zheng Ren's wary look.
"A strange smell, do you smell it?" Zheng Ren frowned.
"Huh? Does it smell of hydrogen sulfide? Pure underground hot springs will have a faint smell of hydrogen sulfide. No one wants to harm you." Su Yundao said, "Boss, I think your delusions of being persecuted are getting more and more serious."
"No." Zheng Ren closed his eyes, sniffed hard, and stood up suddenly, making a splashing sound.
Su Yun watched Zheng Ren take a few steps to the right, followed him, and asked, "What do you smell?"
"Smells very strongly of rotten apples."
“…”
Doctors with clinical experience all know what the smell of rotten apple means.
Su Yun did not continue to speak, this was a fatal matter.
Zheng Ren changed his angle and saw a middle-aged man leaning on the back of the small rockery between the two hot spring pools. There was a small tea table beside him, and he seemed to be taking a bath and drinking tea.
It's just that he seemed a little sleepy and was dozing off. The system panel was red, and the diagnosis of ketoacidosis was shining like a beacon.
Zheng Ren walked over quickly and said directly: "Hey!"
The man didn't speak and was still dozing off with his head down.
Su Yun twitched his nose. The closer the distance, the smell of rotten apples became stronger.
Without communication, the two of them crossed the hot spring pool. Zheng Ren patted the man, and the man raised his head in a daze, listless but a little irritable.
The skin on his body is wrinkled and looks like ET. Zheng Ren knew that this was not dehydration caused by soaking in hot springs for too long, but dehydration caused by ketoacidosis.
"Who are you!" The man gasped, looking very tired.
"Where are your family members?" Zheng Ren asked loudly.
There were several middle-aged women not far away who looked over when they heard the loud voices.
A middle-aged woman came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Who are you?" Zheng Ren asked, "Hurry and help him out."
"Are you a security guard? There seems to be no set time for hot spring bathing here." The woman asked doubtfully.
Zheng Ren didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately asked, "I am a doctor, are you his relative?"
"I am his lover, what are you going to do!" The woman turned around and said sternly.
"Does he have diabetes? He's already suffering from ketoacidosis!" Zheng Ren and Su Yun helped the man stand up in a hurry.
His legs and feet were sore, he was breathing heavily, and the smell of rotten apples became stronger and stronger between his breaths.
At this time, the middle-aged woman also saw that something was wrong. She quickly followed him out and asked anxiously, "Old Li, Old Li!"
The man responded drowsily, his mind still clear.
"Sunken eyeballs, fast heart rate, and weak pulse." Su Yun said immediately after a brief inspection.
"Hurry up and go to the hospital." Zheng Ren said, "Have you had dinner? Do you have insulin?"
The situation was urgent, so I asked several questions at the same time, and the patient's family members were stunned.
"After eating..." the middle-aged woman said quickly, "I was worried about his hypoglycemia, so I only came down after dinner."
"Is there any insulin?"
"Yes, yes!"
The middle-aged woman did not wait for prompting and hurriedly ran back to the house to get the insulin injection.
"How long have you been soaking?" Su Yun looked at the man lying on the ground and said helplessly, "I guess my blood sugar was not well controlled before."
"Yeah." Zheng Ren nodded, that's what it should be. After soaking in high-temperature hot springs for a relatively long time, a series of reactions occur that cause blood sugar to rise, leading to ketoacidosis.
Fortunately, I met myself. If it had been any later, people would have drowned if they fainted in the pool.
Even if the family members found out and sent him to a nearby hospital, he would probably be cold before he arrived.
Soon, the middle-aged woman ran back with bare feet and a small medicine box in her hand.
There are still some related household equipment. Su Yun first measured the patient’s fingertip blood sugar, which was 35.4mmol/L!
Zheng Ren was relieved after injecting 5u of insulin into the patient. Low-dose insulin therapy can produce the greatest suppression of ketone body production without causing hypoglycemia and hypokalemia.
I'm not in the hospital, and I don't have any rescue medicine on hand. This is the best first aid option.
"Change your clothes quickly and send them to a nearby hospital." Su Yun said with a smile.
I took insulin and should be fine.
It just looks scary, but as long as you get to the doctor in time and get relevant treatment and treatment, nothing will happen.
"Boss, would you like to have a cigarette?" Su Yun took advantage of the woman's time to change clothes, picked up the cigarette he brought out from the pool, and asked.
"There are too many people, so I won't smoke anymore," Zheng Ren said.
"Tell me, why bother?" Su Yun didn't care, put the cigarette aside and looked at the patient.
Feng Xuhui and Lao He came up and squatted aside, looking at the patient curiously.
Zheng Ren caught a glimpse of the scar on Feng Xuhui's leg. Due to the limited conditions at the time, the diagnosis and treatment was delayed a bit, and Feng Xuhui himself had a scarred constitution, so the scar looked very glaring.
"Mr. Zheng, Brother Yun, what's going on?" Feng Xuhui asked curiously. I saw Mr. Zheng in a hurry just now, but he relaxed after taking an injection of insulin. Is this considered an emergency
"It's okay, it's just that the time in the hot spring was a bit long and my blood sugar was high." Su Yundao said.
"ah?"
"Fuxi, don't worry, it has nothing to do with hot spring bathing." Su Yun said with a smile: "It is possible that blood sugar control was not good before bathing in hot springs, resulting in high blood sugar."
"Ketosis seems to be a very serious condition." Feng Xuhui somewhat understood.
"The dilation of blood vessels and loss of water during hot spring bathing will aggravate the dehydration state and may further increase blood sugar. This is what his current situation is. Look, his eyes are sunken. This is because the body is already dehydrated. It’s more of an external manifestation.”
"Is it dangerous?"
"It was dangerous just now. The boss's nose follows the sunspot. It's really useful. You can smell rotten apples when you soak in the hot springs. What else can you say?" Su Yun snorted at Zheng Ren.
"It's okay. Go to the hospital for rehydration and symptomatic treatment and he will be cured soon. Judging from his current condition, the dehydration level in his body should be around 15%." Zheng Ren said directly without paying attention to Su Yun's words.
They chatted while waiting for the patient's family members to change clothes.
Soon, several girls put on their swimsuits and came out, and the whole world lit up.
They were all curious when they saw Zheng Ren, Su Yun, Lao He, and Feng Xuhui squatting next to someone.
After asking about the situation, there was nothing to worry about and there was no need for too many manpower here, so the girls went directly to the hot springs.
But the expression on Lin Yuan's face was very strange, and he stood by the hot spring and refused to go down.
