Chapter 443: Chapter 437: Drug Poisoning
“You come and give my child an injection.”
The child’s mother directly shooed the nurse away, and Wei Jiani took over, while the nurse was shaking with anger at the time.
As she was leaving, she happened to run into Tang Yuxin who was passing by. Seeing her upset, Tang Yuxin hastily waved at her. Tang Yuxin was familiar with the nurses in the military hospital, having interacted with them many times.
When the nurse walked over, Tang Yuxin stuffed something into her hand.
The nurse opened her hand and found it was a piece of chocolate.
“It’s from my brother,” Tang Yuxin also broke off a piece and put it in her own mouth,” What’s wrong? Who ticked you off now?”
The nurse followed Tang Yuxin’s example, stuffing the chocolate into her mouth. After a while, she felt much better and was less annoyed. She pursed her lips and complained.
“It’s that Wei Jiani. She really thinks she is someone important? If she becomes a doctor in the future, there will be no justice in this world.”
Tang Yuxin again stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth.
“Don’t be angry with that kind of person. People are watching what they do. It’s not that they aren’t punished, it’s just not the time yet.”
The nurse hummed and stuffed another piece of chocolate into her mouth before going back to work. However, after eating a few pieces of chocolate, her anger was greatly reduced. No wonder, when people get angry, they say you should eat a few sweets, and sweets really do make people feel better.
Tang Yuxin again stuffed a piece into her mouth. She stood by the window, looking at the world outside the window. Under the lush foliage, the spring light was still brilliant.
But further away was an endless plain. Compared to the city, it still felt much more desolate.
She stood straight and prepared to go to the cafeteria for dinner. When she walked past an observation room, she decided to go in and because she was a doctor now, she wanted to check on the patients. Inside, several people were having infusions, including a woman holding a little girl. The little girl was about three or four years old, the same age as Chengcheng. She had no resistance to such a big child. She reminded her of her younger brother.
She walked over, adjusted the speed of the infusion, and touched the child’s forehead only to find it cold.
“What’s wrong with the child?” She squatted down and asked the child’s mother.
“She has a cold and fever, her fever doesn’t recede,” the child’s mother worriedly touched her daughter’s face,” It has been three days, or I wouldn’t have brought her here for an injection. My spouse and I are both in the military and we’re too busy to look after her daily, so we leave her at the kindergarten. When she got the fever, we didn’t notice until it got serious.”
“Let me check,” Tang Yuxin wore her stethoscope, which was hung around her neck, and carefully placed it on the child’s chest. After a while, she removed the stethoscope and lifted the child’s eyelid.
Without a second thought, she stopped the injection.
She lightly tapped the little girl’s face.
“Baby, wake up and talk to sister. Sister has chocolate here.”@@novelbin@@
However, the child still slept soundly, without opening her eyes.
“YueYue, wake up and say something to mom,” The woman picked up her daughter, but the child’s arms and legs seemed limp as if they had no bones.
“YueYue…” The woman called her daughter again. The child was hers, she of course knew her daughter’s habits. However sleepy her daughter was, she would never sleep so soundly without waking up.
“YueYue, YueYue…” The woman’s voice got more anxious, “YueYue, what’s wrong with you? Doctor…” She raised her face again to ask Tang Yuxin, what’s wrong with my daughter? She was fine just now. She was talking to me. She even said she wanted to go home to watch TV.
“Don’t worry,” Tang Yuxin hurriedly pulled out the needle from the back of the child’s hand, directly picked up the little girl and ran to the emergency room. She ran into the emergency room and the door was closed. The woman got anxious, but she was stopped by the nurse when she wanted to enter.
At this time, a doctor raced into the emergency room.
He placed his hand on the child’s eyelid and after a check, found that the child was already deeply unconscious.
“It might be a drug allergy,” Tang Yuxin stated her hypothesis, if the allergy was severe, it would not be an allergy, it would be poisoning.
“Drug allergy,” The doctor also felt it was likely, he immediately asked the nurse to get a blood sample from the child for testing.
Actually, Tang Yuxin was 80% sure that the child suffered a drug overdose.
But how could it be a drug overdose.
She pulled over the child’s small arm and found no traces of a skin test.
“Why wasn’t a skin test done?” The doctor was shocked, how could they give the child an injection without performing a skin test?
Even with other injections set up, the little girl remained unconscious. Not long after, the child’s blood test results came out, confirming a very severe drug overdose.
“Prepare for dialysis,” Tang Yuxin suggested, it was the quickest and most effective method. The toxins in the child’s blood, if not cleared completely, could potentially affect the child’s various organs.
“But how are we going to explain this to the child’s parents?” The nurse asked the doctor, the parents are still outside, and this is their mistake. They used drugs without performing a skin test. Now it’s a drug overdose. It’s the responsibility of the hospital and the doctor.
The nurse’s question also left the doctor unsure of what to do.
Indeed, how should they proceed? No matter how understanding the parents may be, their child has been unjustly afflicted. No mother would want to see this.
“First we need to save the child.”
Tang Yuxin gently touched the child’s small hand again. She felt pitiful for the little girl having to suffer this kind of ordeal at such a young age. Reminded of when Chengcheng was bitten by a snake, she felt even more heartbroken.
In the end, the child was sent to the dialysis room where the remaining drugs in her body were completely filtered out. The child’s color seemed to improve slightly, but she had mild pneumonia, which was now harder to treat.
The child’s mother couldn’t accept this at all. Her precious child just had a small cold and fever, how could it result in dialysis being necessary? Seeing her daughter’s blood being drawn from her body was an unbearable torment for a mother.
What do you think?
