Chapter 356 This is poisoning, the ugliness of human nature
Li Quan looked at the unconscious child lying on the emergency table.
The boy's face was extremely pale, and his lips were purple and black, as if he was suffering from severe hypoxia. Li Quan picked up the child's hand and checked his fingertips, especially the color of his nails.
It's strange, if it's due to lack of oxygen, the color shouldn't be so dark.
Li Quan's diagnosis by observation technique has now reached a minor level, and is still a little far from being a master.
However, the ability to look at colors is also quite impressive.
It is equivalent to the attending physician level in traditional Chinese medicine.
"No, this patient's symptoms are definitely not like internal bleeding caused by leukemia." Li Quan subconsciously took the patient's pulse.
The pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable.
Fortunately, Li Quan has mastered the art of pulse diagnosis.
After a careful investigation, Li Quan was even more shocked.
The pulse has no stomach nerve root and the rhythm is disordered, as if someone who has no knowledge of music is playing the piano randomly.
"Doctor He, have you checked the patient's blood count?"
Li Quan asked.
"It's been less than two minutes since he was brought in. We've been working on the rescue, so there's no time to draw blood or do tests!" Doctor He Chi was still working hard to perform chest compressions on the child.
At this time, dark red blood flowed from the child's nostrils.
Even the ears began to bleed this dark red blood.
"Not good, this child is likely poisoned."
Li Quan's face became very serious.
[You have successfully performed the art of visual diagnosis, skill points +10. ]
[You have successfully performed the pulse diagnosis technique, skill points +10. ]
Having gained two skill points for miraculous medical skills in a row, Li Quan felt even more certain that his diagnosis was correct.
The child's condition was not caused by complications from leukemia, but rather by poisoning.
"Doctor Li, are you sure?" After all, Doctor He Chi was just a resident , and one with a relatively short working experience.
Experience and medical skills are very limited.
When he encountered a patient with such a strange illness, he was a little confused.
"I am very sure that this child must have been poisoned. Moreover, if it is not discovered in time, the poison has already attacked the heart. I am afraid that even the gods cannot save him. Draw blood for testing immediately. There may be a glimmer of hope."
Li Quan learned how to deal with sudden critical cases from Professor Liu.
I have quite a bit of experience.
When I came in just now, the child's parents had a bad attitude.
The top priority right now is definitely to find ways to rescue the patients.
If we can't save him, we've done our best.
What you need to consider at this time is how to protect yourself.
Li Quan couldn't help but secretly rejoice that, thanks to Nurse Chen Xia's insistence, the family members signed the risk commitment letter.
In this way, he would not be afraid even if a lawsuit came up.
What's more, the problem was not with his treatment at all , but with the patient himself being poisoned.
The patient was just hospitalized, how could he suddenly be poisoned?
When I got off work yesterday, Li Quan examined the child and he is in good health.
What exactly is the problem?
"Chen Xia, did you personally bring all the Chinese medicine this patient took from the pharmacy?" Li Quan asked.
"Yes, I brought it here myself. The child's parents said they were not familiar with the hospital and asked me to help get the Chinese medicine." Chen Xia nodded.
Her eyes were a little puffy and she had dark circles under them.
Working the night shift is a very tiring job.
"If this child cannot be rescued, the patient's family will definitely make a fuss. Notify the pharmacy immediately and ask them to preserve the medicine residue." Li Quan frowned. Doctor He Chi and the nurses in the emergency department were responsible for rescuing the patient.
He didn't need to intervene at all.
And in the current situation, he has no ability to intervene.
The child is bleeding from all seven orifices, and is probably in great danger.
Li Quan felt very sad when he saw the patient he had treated personally die.
But no matter how uncomfortable you feel now, it will not help. All you have to do is protect yourself.
If the strong evidence is not preserved and the patient's family members make a scene, it will not only be Li Quan, the attending physician, who will suffer, but also Chen Xia and Ye Ru.
Li Quan couldn't let the medical staff of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department sweat, bleed, and shed tears.
We must do our utmost to fight for the legal and legitimate rights and interests that we should fight for.
"I, I don't have the Chinese medicine pharmacy's phone number. I'll go over and inform them now." Chen Xia said anxiously.
"Forget it. I have the phone number of the new director of the Chinese medicine store. I'll call him and tell him."
Last time, Li Quan brought Vice Dean Min and others to make a scene in the pharmacy because Sophie's Chinese medicine was withheld, which directly led to a major earthquake in the pharmacy.
The original pharmacy director was fired immediately.
Chief pharmacist Zou Quanliu, who was on good terms with Li Quan, was directly promoted by Li Quan to the position of director of the pharmacy.
This is a huge favor.
Zou Quanliu was a kind person and would greet Li Quan warmly and respectfully every time he met him in the hospital.
Gratitude to Li Quan was written all over his face.
Now if there is something for him to do, it can be done with just one phone call.
Li Quan took out his cell phone and called Zou Quanliu.
The phone rang several times before Zou Quanliu answered.
The voice sounded confused, with a hint of anger.
"Who is it?"
He asked with a somewhat dissatisfied mutter.
"Director Zou, it's me, Li Quan!" Li Quan's voice was calm and composed.
"Ah...it's Doctor Li. Haha, I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't see the phone number. Sorry! You called me in the middle of the night. It must be something urgent. Just give me your instructions."
When Zou Quanliu heard that the call was from Li Quan, he immediately woke up from his sleepiness.
His attitude also changed 180 degrees.
This is the role of connections.
You can have a say and help at critical moments.
Li Quan was originally just an insignificant little figure at the bottom of Huier Hospital. He secretly made plans and began to expand his network and influence.
Now that he is in Huier Hospital, he has established some foundation.
Director Zhang from the emergency department, Director Zou Quanliu from the Chinese medicine pharmacy, Professor Liu from the obstetrics and gynecology department, Professor Sun Limin and others are all people who can help at critical moments.
There are also some people who have not been counted in, who will also help Li Quan as long as there is no direct conflict of interest.
For example, Dean Tan, Vice Dean Min, Professor Tang, Professor Xie, etc.
If there is a direct conflict of interest, it is hard to say.
The human heart is the most complicated, and no one dares to test other people's hearts easily.
Because even if they are married, they may end up parting ways after testing each other. As for ordinary friends, let alone.
If you are not careful, friends will become enemies.
Li Quan is now confident that when he encounters difficulties, only the first group of people will step forward to help him.
"Director Zou, a patient in our TCM department is suffering from food poisoning and may not be able to be saved. Please notify the pharmacy immediately and save the dregs of the medicine boiled yesterday, as well as the warehouse configuration sheet, etc. The patient's name is Wu Xiaobin."
Li Quanyan simply told the story again.
"Okay, got it! I'll rush to the hospital and take care of it myself."
When Zou Quanliu heard that someone might have died, he took it very seriously.
As long as someone dies, the higher-ups will definitely investigate.
When a patient has taken medicine from a pharmacy, the first thing they will do is investigate the pharmacy.
After Li Quan finished his call with Zou Quanliu, he felt it necessary to report the matter to his teacher.
Because someone died in the department, this matter is very serious.
The Chinese medicine prescription given to this child was written in the name of Professor Liu.
If the situation was not urgent and extremely important, Li Quan would not have disturbed Professor Liu so late.
Li Quan made the call.
After a while, the phone was connected.
"Teacher, I'm sorry to have disturbed your sleep so late at night. A patient admitted to the Department of Hematology of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department today has food poisoning and may not be able to be saved..."
Li Quan reported the matter to the teacher.
"Food poisoning? I'll come over and deal with it right away. Also, even if the patient cannot be rescued, don't inform the family before I arrive." After saying that, Professor Liu hung up the phone.
This matter of human life concerns the hearts of many medical staff and hospital leaders.
The nurse in the emergency department has drawn the child's blood and sent it for emergency testing.
Not sure what the food poisoning was?
Li Quan frowned as he thought about every step and detail of the treatment. He was sure that there was no problem with either the treatment plan or the Chinese medicine prescription given to the patient.
"Chen Xia, do you remember the time when the patient took the Chinese medicine?"
"I have a record of this. It was 2:43 in the afternoon." Chen Xia's work was very meticulous and impeccable.
Even the time when patients take their medicine is recorded in detail.
Now if something happens to the patient, there is evidence to support it.
"He drank the Chinese medicine at 2:43 pm yesterday afternoon. If it was poisoning from the medicine, it would be impossible for him to wait until after 1 am." Li Quan was even more certain that the patient was not poisoned by the medicine.
With food poisoning, severe discomfort can occur in as little as three to five minutes.
For example, symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and chest tightness.
Even if it is slow, the symptoms will appear two or three hours after eating the food.
I finished the Chinese medicine before 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the possibility of an attack after 1 o'clock in the morning of the next day was almost zero.
This indicates that the patient was poisoned because he ate other food.
If the patient is given intravenous infusion treatment, the reason for the infusion must also be investigated.
However, Li Quan never prescribed any treatment such as intravenous infusion for the child.
Infusion can also be ruled out.
At this time, Li Quan thought of only one possibility.
The child’s father went out to buy food for the child at around seven o’clock in the evening. Could it be that the food the child’s father bought was poisonous?
This possibility is very high.
"I suspect the child's food poisoning is related to the food his father bought." Li Quan said solemnly. "Chen Xia, did you see what food the child's father bought?"
"Well... I didn't pay much attention at the time. I just saw that the child's father seemed to be holding a few plastic bags. There were probably three or four of them, big and small. One of the bags contained a disposable instant noodle paper bucket."
Chen Xia tried hard to recall what happened at that time.
"I'll go ask the child's father." Li Quan immediately walked outside.
"Doctor Li, be careful!"
Chen Xia was a little worried about Li Quan's safety.
The child was in trouble, and the family members must be very emotional. She was really worried that the family members would do something extreme to Dr. Li.
"fine!"
Li Quan is very capable.
The family members are really unreasonable and want to use violence, so it is impossible for Li Quan to suffer the loss.
Instead, it will be family members.
He has been practicing the Five Animal Exercises for so long that his current strength is even stronger than when he returned home.
At that time in his hometown, he could fight against twenty or thirty people alone. Now, he would probably be able to fight against thirty or forty people alone.
After leaving the emergency room, the child's parents were still waiting there.
Both of them looked extremely anxious.
Seeing Li Quan coming out, they rushed over immediately.
"quack!"
"You're a harmful liar!"
The couple pointed at Li Quan and cursed.
"I understand how you feel right now. After a preliminary examination, we suspect that your son has food poisoning. What did you feed him in the evening?"
Li Quan's eyes were fixed on the child's father.
"Food poisoning?" The child's father's eyes flickered. "Even if my son really had food poisoning, he must have taken the Chinese medicine you prescribed. You, a quack doctor, must be fully responsible."
"I'm asking you seriously again, what did the child eat last night? I can tell you clearly right now that the child's poisoning has nothing to do with the Chinese medicine he took."
Li Quan's voice was no longer gentle, but became cold and stern.
He finally realized that this couple was not as loyal as he had imagined.
When the man heard about food poisoning just now, he clearly showed an expression of guilt and doubt.
This means that the child’s father probably knows what food caused the child’s poisoning.
"Boss, will it be you who buys it..." the child's mother reminded in a low voice.
"Shut up!" The child's father glared at his wife fiercely. "Our son was poisoned because he took the Chinese medicine he prescribed. All the treatment costs will be borne by this quack doctor."
The child's father had a ferocious expression and looked particularly vicious.
A poor person is scarier than a ghost.
This man should be around 40 years old, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel.
Li Quan worked hard to treat his son's illness, but what he got in return was not gratitude, but schemes and calculations.
The couple's clothes were ordinary, even a little rustic, and their skin was tanned from frequent exposure to the sun. They exuded the savagery and cunningness of mountain people.
Their son has been undergoing treatment for some time, and the cost must have been high.
When they were asked to prepay part of the medical expenses yesterday, the couple called around to raise money and only then managed to pay 3,000 yuan.
Now the child’s father insists that his son was poisoned because he took the Chinese medicine prescribed by Li Quan.
The purpose is very obvious, which is to ask Li Quan to waive all medical expenses for their son.
The child's father must have been thinking that his son had food poisoning, and the cost of rescuing him would definitely cost a lot of money. The subsequent treatment costs would also require a large sum of money.
Now he is like a scoundrel, putting all the blame on Li Quan.
They no longer have to pay for their son's medical treatment.
It was a clever calculation, but unfortunately it was just their foolish wishful thinking.
"I'll say it again, your child's condition is extremely dangerous. If you tell me now what exactly the child ate that caused the poisoning, it may be able to provide a lot of help to our doctors in saving your son."
Li Quan deeply witnessed the ugliness of human nature.
He did not just walk away, but patiently worked for the middle-aged couple.
"What's wrong with you as a doctor? It's obviously the Chinese medicine you prescribed that has problems, why do you always blame us family members? I tell you, if you want to shirk responsibility, there is no way."
The child's father refused to repent.
At this time, Professor Liu, Director Zhang and others arrived one after another.
"Teacher, Director Zhang!" Li Quan greeted the two of them.
"How is the patient's condition? Has the cause been found out?" Professor Liu has an extraordinary aura, as steady as a mountain, and exudes majesty.
"The patient is most likely suffering from food poisoning. But the child's father refused to say anything and insisted that it was caused by taking Chinese medicine." Li Quan said angrily.
