Conan: The Mechanic

Ten minutes later, the HCU ward. (Intensive care unit, a type of intensive care unit below the ICU level)

"Mr. Nagano just had his second seizure in ten minutes," the doctor said to Mrs. Nagano. "Considering that this all happened after the scopolamine patch was removed, I believe it may be a central nervous system disease."

"Then what should my husband do?"

"I've never seen symptoms like this before," the doctor said. "But Rice Flower Central Hospital has a very good doctor during this period. I believe he will be able to find out your husband's condition."

"Rice Flower Central Hospital?" Mrs. Nagano asked.

"Yes," the doctor nodded. "There is a doctor Gregory Asker who specializes in the treatment of incurable diseases. He has treated more than 20 extremely rare incurable diseases in the past few months. He should now be considered within the scope of Tokyo and even in Japan. The best expert."

"Okay, what should we do now?" Mrs. Nagano continued to ask.

"Mr. Asker's diagnosis and treatment standards are very tricky, and if it's not a particularly weird disease, it's generally not in his sight." The doctor explained. "So I'm going to open a letter of introduction for you now, so that your husband can be taken over by Mr. Asker's medical team."

—————— Small classroom dividing line

In the early 1990s, Japan's medical system was much worse than it is now, mainly in the following points.

1. Now if you want to see a doctor in a large hospital, you must hold a letter of introduction from a small and medium-sized hospital, otherwise you may be charged an additional four-digit fee. (Before the Ministry of Health and Welfare implemented the letter of introduction system in 2014, about half of the major hospitals had already implemented this system.) But in the early 1990s, large and small hospitals were fully open to Japanese citizens, so large hospitals were under great pressure. Moreover, since Japan's economic growth before 1997 was enough to support the growth of national medical expenses, the Ministry of Health and Welfare has not been motivated to reform the medical system. However, Gregory himself is a doctor invited by Rice Flower Central Hospital, so he has the privilege to choose whether to pick up patients or not.

2. Nowadays, hospitals are basically not responsible for prescribing medicines, but allow patients to buy them themselves after prescribing them. But in the early 1990s, while there were more than 36,000 pharmacies where drugs could be purchased, more than 10,700 mental hospitals, general hospitals and general hospitals were still the main options for patients to buy drugs.

———————— Small class over

In Rice Flower Central Hospital, an ambulance whistling stopped at the dedicated entrance where a group of nurses were already waiting. Hiroji Nagano, who was lying on a stretcher, was quickly carried by these nurses to a cart that had been prepared and pushed them into the hospital.

Afterwards, Chiba, Conan, and Mrs. Nagano came out - Mr. Nagano and his three apprentices seemed to have been rushing to work on a project, and tomorrow night was the deadline, so Mrs. Nagano asked the three of them to go back and continue rushing to avoid overdue work.

"You got the letter of introduction, right?" said a person who looked like the head nurse. "Come with me and I'll take you to the Gregorian group."

Being led by the head nurse to the door of a room marked "Gregory Group", Chiba was surprised at the person who opened the door after the head nurse knocked on the door. "Are you still working here?"

Hoshino Kaede's lazy face immediately became serious after seeing Chiba, and took the letter of introduction from Mrs. Nagano.

"Working with Gregory, I can see a lot and learn a lot, which is very helpful to me, so I came to the Gregory team as a free assistant when I had time. But then again, I didn't expect Your little guy is here too, is the patient an acquaintance of you?" Hoshino Kaede said while opening the envelope.

"It's an acquaintance of the Doctor," Qianyu shrugged. "No matter what, it wouldn't be Conan and I who would accompany Mrs. Nagano in the ambulance, but because his three disciples have tasks that are about to reach the deadline (deadline, deadline), Mrs. will drive the three of them away. Back. As for why Conan and I asked to come together, it's just because we felt something was wrong."

"No matter how strange you think this gentleman is, the objective fact is that this case is not strange enough, so Gregory probably won't take over the patient himself." Hoshino Kaede said after reading about half of the letter of introduction. "However, since the doctor deems it necessary, we will provide medical services to Mr. Nagano.

"What are the symptoms of this case?" Someone asked in the room behind Hoshino Kaede.

"The patient has a history of diabetes and is stable after insulin control." Hoshino Kaede replied. "I just had a flight a few days ago, I should have just returned from abroad. Before eating at noon... To be precise, I suddenly passed out before taking insulin. After I was sent to the hospital, I found that the blood sugar was not abnormal, and the patient's head was removed. The patient developed epilepsy after the scopolamine patch was put on."

"Is there any need to ask then?" said the man (hereafter referred to as A). "What is the symptom of scopolamine? Just check the central nervous system for him! I estimate that more than 90% of this symptom is a brain tumor."

"It could also be toxins," another voice (abbreviated as BB) sounded. "Considering that he still has a wife at home, we should mainly check his private work area for toxins."

"If you just came back from abroad, you should give priority to foreign things, right?" A woman's voice sounded. (called C)

"Ah yeah~www.readwn.com~'s tone is a little weird." I almost forgot that there are no toxins in Japan. "

"But if it's really caused by factors in his family, it's too coincidental." A retorted. "Since the attack occurred a few days after he came back, it is very likely that he contracted the disease while he was abroad."

"You two are really in harmony." B continued.

"Why do I think you're targeting us?" C asked. "Is there anything wrong with us working together?"

"I'm not talking about your current synchronicity," B snorted. "I just think your interactions in bed must be in tune, and judging from how well the two of you are in tune now, I think your interactions must be wonderful."

"Uh..." Qian Yu frowned. "them……"

"Don't worry about them," Hoshino Kaede shrugged. "It's this Gregory who gave me the management in this situation. I'll write you a note, and you'll take it to the CT side later."

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to leave it to me?" the head nurse asked.

"There are too many things to get, I just asked this kid to help you with a little work." Hoshino Kaede took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and said while writing hard. "Miss Head Nurse, you should make an appointment for a toxicology screening test for common poisonous ingredients, a full set of blood biochemical culture, and a venereal disease test."

"What did you say?" Madam Nagano was stunned when she heard this.

"This test can check for some intractable diseases that other tests are too good for," Hoshino Kaede handed the note to the head nurse, and said amicably. "Trust me, I'm not asking for this test to check for STDs."

Then, he handed another small note to Chiyu. "Take this small note and make an appointment for Mr. Nagano's brain CT."
