Chapter 987: Chapter 987 Where Did This Thing Come From

Zhou Guifang had not wanted to leave, worried about the situation, but was persuaded to stay. Luo Xuyuan looked at everyone and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not inexperienced. Just come over tomorrow morning to take over for me."

It was quite a coincidence that this child’s solar birthday was also on March 29th, the same as Yanyan’s and Yueyue’s, though his lunar birthday was on the twelfth of February, while Yanyan’s and Yueyue’s were on the twentieth.

Xiao Ya had stayed in the hospital for two days and it wasn’t until everyone, including the child, was cleared as safe that they discharged her to go home.

Luo Qiao wasn’t busy during this time, with no projects on hand, but she was preparing a paper. She would bring over ingredients every now and then, so Xiao Ya ended up gaining quite a bit of weight during her confinement period.

Luo Qiao felt sorry for her own grandmother, who had to take care of someone in confinement as well as prepare for her third brother’s wedding. Thus, she would occasionally come over to lend a hand. After Guifang’s mother came to visit and stayed for only a few days, she left because she had a pregnant daughter at home and was truly worried.

Two weeks after Yanyan and Yueyue had their second birthday, they were sent to the government kindergarten, which accepted children as young as eight months old for one week. After seeking the consent of the two children, they were sent over after celebrating their birthdays for two weeks. Both adapted well and were well-liked by teachers and fellow students.

Usually, Lu Yichen would pick them up on his way to and from work. If he had to work overtime, he would call Luo Qiao in advance to pick them up instead. If both were busy, Elder Rong and Rong Daniang would go.

Now, aside from writing her paper, Luo Qiao would also go to the hospital for major surgeries. She had mostly stopped working as an assistant and was completing surgeries independently.

Because she was still pursuing her doctorate, the hospital hadn’t given her a fixed department yet. As all the departments were vying for her, they finally agreed that she would rotate, spending a month in each department. However, she was responsible for following up with patients from previous departments.

That day, as she was returning from the hospital, she barely entered the alley when she heard shouts piercing the sky. She saw people running toward the commotion and others running out. When someone saw her, their eyes lit up.

Tugging at her, they said, "Quick, Dr. Luo, save someone!"

Without further ado, they pulled her into the alley. As they arrived, they shouted, "Make way, the doctor has arrived, the doctor has arrived!"

Luo Qiao went in and saw a child lying on the ground. She rushed over and noticed the child having difficulty breathing. The child was clutching at his throat. As soon as Luo Qiao approached, she smelled hydrochloric acid HCL, also known as muriatic acid.

After a thorough examination, she urgently shouted to the crowd, "Who has milk at home? I need to borrow some. If there’s none, egg whites or soy milk will also do."

After shouting several times, someone from behind the crowd called out, "I have some at home; I’ll go and get it."

Someone had brought soapy water to induce vomiting in the child on the ground, but Luo Qiao intervened, "You can’t induce vomiting now. This child hasn’t had food poisoning, but has accidentally ingested a chemical substance. Inducing vomiting directly could burn the entire stomach and esophageal lining."

Frightened, the person who had prepared the soapy water spilled it: "Oh my, that scared the life out of me."

The person who went to get the milk came rushing back hurriedly with a half pot of milk: "Here’s the milk, here’s the milk."

Luo Qiao made the child drink forcefully: "Come on, child, drinking this will prevent your esophagus and stomach from being injured and save you."

After the emergency response, the child’s family also arrived: "Son, what’s happened to you? Don’t scare Mom."

Luo Qiao stood up, "Stop crying, rush your child to the hospital now for treatment."

When she recognized the weeping woman, it seemed she had previously been involved in a fight in the plaza over Lu Yi, with someone named Zhang Chunxi. {Haha, what a tongue twister}

Luo Qiao found the woman’s chatter annoying and didn’t like her, but that day she had avenged her, beating the shameless woman who had designs on her own man.

Luo Qiao added, "You’d better leave someone to protect the scene. This child has ingested a chemical substance. You need to thoroughly investigate where it came from."

At that moment, someone stepped forward, "Chunxi, you rush the child to the hospital with your family. I’ll take care of things here."

After the people ran off with the child, someone asked, "Dr. Luo, why didn’t you let them induce vomiting?"

Luo Qiao thought for a moment and took the opportunity to educate everyone, to prevent mishandling such incidents in the future: "If it’s food poisoning, inducing vomiting can save a person. But if it’s chemical or heavy metal poisoning, you cannot induce vomiting directly, as this could damage the esophageal lining.

In short, if too much is said, everyone won’t remember. Just remember, if you encounter this situation again, you can use milk, egg whites, or soy milk. These foods can be used for first aid, then the person should be taken to the hospital for professional treatment."

Seeing that everyone understood, Luo Qiao turned to leave the area.

However, a boy who looked to be in middle school stopped her, "Why use milk, egg whites, or soy milk instead of other things?"

Luo Qiao looked at the earnest boy and smiled, "Those foods are beneficial in protein-based reactions. They can neutralize some strong acids and bases, specifically, the amino acids in proteins can neutralize strong acids, and the protein colloid can also protect the stomach wall and the esophageal lining. But this is only for emergency cases, you still need to get to a hospital immediately."

The boy smiled at Luo Qiao, "Thank you. It seems that learning chemistry is really important."

Luo Qiao didn’t expect that her answer would spark an interest in chemistry for the boy, who, years later, in his interview, mentioned what seemed like an insignificant event to others. He said he was very grateful for Luo Qiao’s patient explanation, which led to his current achievements.
