It was a little past two in the afternoon when Ma Yuehui took Xu Aiqing for surgery, leaving Chen Cang in the office to see patients.
A call came in from the emergency center; minutes later, a 25-year-old man suffering from pufferfish poisoning was being rushed to the center.
Chen Cang was startled, wondering what era it was that there were still cases of pufferfish poisoning!
Nowadays, virtually everyone knows that pufferfish are inedible and highly toxic—yet some people still consumed them?
What's crucial is that pufferfish are toxic through and through—the ovaries, testicles, skin, liver, and roe all contain deadly toxins!
Especially during this period of reproduction at the winter-spring transition, the toxicity is at its strongest.
Who would dare to mess with this at such a time?
For Chen Cang, who was proficient at identifying poisoning, it had been years since he'd encountered a case of pufferfish poisoning.
