"Mu Chun, you just convinced him so easily?" Fang Ming was a little incredible.

"Well, that's pretty much it." Mu Chun smiled at Fang Ming, and then held the cup to cover his face.

"What's going on with that thread? Does Dr. Mu know? Fang Ming put away his smile, compared to any kind of magic or other kind of rhetoric, Fang Ming couldn't figure out what such a strange thing appeared in the stomach of a second-year child.

"It's a stuffed animal or something, or a sweater or something, and that's up to the kid." Mu Chun replied.

"Why did you eat these things by mistake?" Fang Ming and Shen Zifeng were shocked and extremely incomprehensible.

"Because, there is a disease called it, although humans are miscellaneous animals, they can't eat everything, mainly because of the long evolutionary process, let us gradually understand what is good for the body, what is not good for eating, what can be digested by eating, and what cannot be digested, for example, you will definitely not eat this disposable paper cup after drinking coffee, because you know that thing cannot be eaten, or it is not good to eat it."

Shen Zifeng and Fang Ming nodded, and Fang Ming said: "Well, this is understandable, of course I won't eat disposable paper cups, because it's impossible for me to eat paper." ”

Mu Chun said again: "You can't, but it doesn't mean that others won't, many people not only eat paper but also eat sawdust, broken glass, hair, cement, old newspapers, books, dolls, candles, pencil leads, erasers, and shoe soles."

Shen Zifeng's eyes shrank smaller and smaller, and finally he simply closed his eyes.

Fang Ming was calmer, "I know that some children who are deficient in trace elements will have symptoms of eating clods, but eating dolls and candles is too unbelievable." ”

"The daily work of a psychosomatic physician is to face the unbelievable in the eyes of ordinary people, and to understand the scientific principles behind this unbelievable."

As soon as Mu Chun said this, Fang Ming almost wanted to give him a thumbs up.

"But," Fang Ming said again, "how do you know?" ”

"How do I know that?"

"How do you know that word?"

"Huh? I learned this when I was in graduate school, Dr. Fang Ming should not laugh at me, if I could pick up the scalpel like Dr. Fang Ming, save the lives of each other, and save the beautiful families, I would like myself more. ”

Mu Chun walked around in circles, but Fang Ming didn't intend to let him continue to be vague like this.

"Doctor Mu, to be serious, isn't it really a lack of trace elements or parasites in the intestines? Who is more likely to have this problem? ”

Fang Ming took out a small notebook with a gray cover from the pocket of his white coat, an action that made Mu Chun so frightened that he almost rolled from his seat to under the table.

"Doctor Mu? What about Dr. Mu? Shen Zifeng asked.

"I'm here, here." Mu Chun slowly floated up from the table and said, "Director Fang, you can ask questions, what are you doing with a notebook, do you want to record everything I said?" Don't be like this, let's just discuss the condition, you record it like this, what happens at that time, and get a conclusive evidence, it's not good. ”

Fang Ming looked at Mu Chun's cowardly look, and thought to himself, he probably really thought that Mu Chun had some magic, but he was just deceiving children.

So he put the notebook in the pocket of his white coat.

Mu Chun was relieved now, so he also answered Fang Ming's question seriously.

"There was indeed a time in early medicine that such diseases were caused by a lack of trace elements in the body or some kind of parasite in the intestines, especially in some children with iron deficiency anemia and zinc deficiency, and it was found that there were indeed manifestations of pica, such as eating soil from flower sheds and eating it as chocolate.

After a period of micronutrient supplementation, these symptoms of iron or zinc deficiency have improved, and the problem of pica has disappeared.

So for a long time, people were accustomed to believe that pica was related to these two factors.

But medicine is not always so static, and now medical views have tended to agree that it is closely related to human psychological factors. Especially for children, who are in a period of rapid physical and mental development, if parents neglect to take care of their children, if the family environment is poor, or if the child has autism and severe loneliness, pica may be triggered.

Children will gradually get used to putting food in their mouths by accident, knowing that they can't eat things, but they just can't control it.

If the child associates the devouring of these 'foods' with an event such as an expectation and an inner craving, or an escape from a certain reality, the devouring behavior is even more difficult to change.

The main thing is that they always do it secretly, they don't eat uncomfortable, they form an emotional dependence on these 'foods', and over time, they eat for half a year, a year, and there are not a few who eat until adulthood. ”

Fang Ming wanted to say something, but he felt that he couldn't say it.

Shen Zifeng also felt the same way, he was very flustered but didn't know how to say it.

In the end, it was Fang Ming who spoke, "Then why does Zhou Ming want to eat it, do you know?" ”

Mu Chun shook his head, "I didn't know he was, I didn't have any doctor's magic, just"

"Just what?" Shen Zifeng asked.

"It's just from the analysis of the child's emotional and behavioral reactions, okay, the next thing is left to me, although he has temporarily solved the problem of this mess through surgery, but in the future, this kind of thing will continue to happen, and even more serious problems, so my work has just begun."

Mu Chun said seriously.

Fang Ming was amused by Mu Chun's serious appearance, he was used to Mu Chun's cynical appearance, he didn't expect him to be so handsome when he was serious, he really had the feeling of a big doctor.

Shen Zifeng even praised directly, "Doctor Mu, I also want to study physical and mental medicine." ”

When Fang Ming heard this, he slapped Shen Zifeng on the back. "What do you think, go downstairs."

"Do you want to go to Zhinan to see Zhou Ming, I can arrange it for you."

Mu Chun saw that Fang Ming was a very sincere invitation, so he nodded and promised Zhou Ming to visit Zhinan Affiliated once before he was discharged from the hospital, but more, Mu Chun hoped that Fang Ming could find an opportunity to tell Zhou Ming's mother that she could come to Huayuanqiao Community Hospital once, after all, there was no physical and mental department attached to Zhinan, and he couldn't chat with the patient's family for half a day as a doctor in the inpatient department.
