Chapter 473 Bonfire Party
Sun Li'en has a lot to learn, but such endemic diseases and chronic diseases with hidden onset usually do not belong to the scope of learning and treatment in the emergency department.

"You have to learn more and memorize more while you are young and smart." Director Huang Wenhui patted Sun Lien on the back. Because of the difference in height, it was still a bit difficult to pat him on the shoulder. "Dean Song has already said that you will be the one who will go to the diagnostic center to shoulder the burden in the future. You should learn more while you can learn it now."

Emergency physicians don't need to learn much about chronic and endemic diseases, but diagnostic physicians do.For a doctor who specializes in diagnosis, learning as much relevant knowledge as possible will not only facilitate his work, but also grasp the patient's condition as soon as possible - if many chronic diseases appear in the same patient with other diseases at the same time , the symptoms that were not limited to direct fatality will become extremely dangerous.

Long-term and comprehensive self-study is very important if Sun Lien wants to be qualified for the position of a "diagnostic doctor" in the future.

"Okay, go to work quickly, there are still half of the villagers waiting to see a doctor." Director Huang just "boasted" Sun Lien, and then urged him to act quickly, "You go to the village committee first ,I am coming over now."

"Fluorotoxicity?" Dr. Pascal and Brunn were sitting on the bench next to the village committee, holding smoking pipes in their hands.If he didn't look at the very "modern Chinese rural style" building behind the two of them, he would think he saw a small village in Western Europe.After the two learned about Sun Lien's and Director Huang's diagnosis opinions, the two Americans looked at each other first, and then sighed together, "Why didn't we think of that!"

Fluorosis is not a unique "endemic disease" in China, it actually exists in many countries and regions.Fluorosis is prevalent in the United States, Britain, France and other places.However, the main cause of their disease is that there is too much fluorine in groundwater, which leads to poisoning.After the widespread availability of tap water, most cases of fluorosis disappeared, at least in developed countries.

The main pathogenic channel of coal-burning fluorosis is the open-stove burning of briquettes mixed with soil containing a large amount of fluorine, and the fluorine-containing smoke pollutes food and air.Tea-drinking fluorosis is caused by drinking a lot of brick tea and side tea made from pressed old leaves and tea stems.These two poisoning channels are not common in foreign countries.However, drinking-water fluorosis has obvious symptoms that cannot be ignored-dental fluorosis.Due to the natural "stability" of drinking water sources in the place of residence, patients with drinking-water fluorosis will almost certainly ingest large amounts of fluoride-rich water from infancy to adolescence.And these fluorine will be deposited in their teeth, and form different manifestations, but the same cause of dental fluorosis.

But the situation in Guojia Village is obviously different. The water they drink contains a lot of fluorine, but it is below the level of "need attention".Due to the insufficient total amount, even with the addition of the fluorine-containing loess mixed with pulverized coal and burned, the overall intake of fluoride by the villagers is still not enough to cause fluorosis.It is precisely because of this that in the past censuses, local disease control personnel did not include Guojia Village in the list of "improving water and reducing fluoride".

But this does not mean that the villagers of Guojia Village are safe—they are actually on the verge of fluorosis.The widespread drinking of brick tea and milk tea, which started a decade ago, became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Brick tea is a "brick" made by pressing ordinary tea leaves after fermentation. Due to its unique flavor, the taste of ordinary young leaves and shoots after fermentation is not significantly different from that of old leaf tea stalks.It is even inferior to old leaf tea stalks in the color of tea soup and the degree of resistance to foaming.Therefore, many tea manufacturers will deliberately choose old leaves and tea stems with lower commercial value to make brick tea.

Occasionally drinking the tea steeped from this kind of tea will not cause any harm to the human body.However, if you drink it for a long time, and cook it in the way of "boiling" instead of "soaking", a large amount of fluorine in the tea will be precipitated, and under the combined action of coal burning and drinking water, it will lead to fluorosis.

Thanks to the fact that Guojia Village usually mixes raw goat milk when drinking tea. Although this is dangerous in various senses, it prevents a large number of villagers from drinking such milk tea on a daily basis.This is also a blessing in disguise.

It is a bit frustrating that neither the traveling medical team nor the tertiary hospitals have any good treatment methods for skeletal fluorosis and dental fluorosis caused by fluorosis.The human body has a strong ability to expel fluorine. After stopping excessive intake of fluorine, the patient's body can often expel excess fluorine from the body by itself.But the damage done by fluorosis cannot be repaired -- both skeletal fluorosis and dental fluorosis are permanent damage.They cannot be healed, and can only be repaired by various means.

The free clinic in the afternoon went smoothly.The temporary diagnosis team formed by Sun Lien, Dr. Pascal and Dr. Brun completed the medical service for 23 ordinary villagers.Fortunately, none of these patients suffered from fluorosis.Even other underlying illnesses were rare—most villagers who needed treatment showed up in the morning.The medical services in the afternoon are actually all kinds of publicity and consultation—such as high blood pressure or diabetes, and whether they can be cured by cold wild vegetables.

"I thought you guys weren't coming back today." At seven o'clock in the evening, Sun Li'en and two tired American experts appeared at the door of his villa.The three of them each carried a bucket of ten catties of raw goat milk.The smell of milk is mixed with the smell of sheep and mutton, as if the simple herdsmen in the pastoral area came to the city to visit distant relatives whom they had not seen for many years.

Wang Caifeng is preparing for the evening barbecue with Isabella at the door.In addition to the ordinary barbecue pits, they also specially invited the security guards who stayed at the company to participate with the employees. By the way, they surrounded six open spaces for real bonfires.

Yes, a bonfire, a traditional bonfire placed directly on the ground surrounded by refractory bricks.Although China does not have such a fixed idea that roasting by the campfire is equivalent to a country vacation, it is always very pleasant for everyone to get together in the cold night, roasting and eating meat.

In order to enjoy the bonfire healthily and safely, Wang Caifeng also specially asked someone to buy a batch of high-quality fruit firewood. According to relevant laws, burning firewood is prohibited in Changning City, but the carton factory is not in the no-burn zone.

Of course, the efficiency and heat of burning firewood cannot compare with charcoal, but a group of people gather around a charcoal bonfire, listening to the crackling sound, chatting and drinking, the kind of comfort is never comparable to charcoal.Sun Li'en and the others came back at just the right time, just in time for the bonfire party to start.

"Goat's milk?" Hearing that Sun Li'en and others had returned with goat's milk, Wang Caifeng felt a little troubled.She has also drank goat's milk, and she really can't get used to the goat's smell.And how to store the [-] catties of raw goat milk is a problem - after all, it is a gift from others to thank Xiao Sun, so it is not good to just dump it like this.The capable housewife Wang Caifeng encountered difficulties for a while.

"Or...make it into cheese." Isabella thought for a while and made a suggestion. As a first-generation French immigrant, she is relatively familiar with goat milk. "I can still make some desserts tonight..." She looked at the tired Pascal, and then smiled, "Stephen, come and help me."

Dr. Pascal glanced at his wife, then sighed helplessly, then he turned to Sun Lien and said, "What am I talking about? These goat milk should be given to other doctors!"
