Chapter 515 Methanol and Ethanol Are Twin Brothers, Jingshu Advancement
"I, I'll have someone come over right away." The patient's son said, then turned to look at his father. "Dad, where did you put the bottle of wine?"
"Put it behind the suitcase under my bed. Don't let your mother find it." The old man whispered to his son slyly.
Even now, he still misses that bottle of aged wine.
He is really addicted to alcohol.
"Oh, Dad, it's already this time and you're still thinking about that bottle of wine. I'll ask Mom to get it and send it over quickly." This time, the son did not obey his father.
Human lives are at stake here. Hurry and bring the wine over, find out its ingredients, saving lives is the most important thing.
Li Quan didn't dare to just sit there and wait, so he arranged for the old man to be transferred to the internal medicine emergency department.
It’s definitely a good idea to do hemodialysis first.
So as to avoid causing any loss of life.
Fortunately, the family members also knew the urgency of the situation and quickly brought the bottle of aged wine over.
It is obviously different from ordinary wine bottles.
This is a wine- red plastic bottle. After Li Quan took it and unscrewed the cap, he could smell a faint aroma of wine.
The liquid inside is as transparent as white wine.
It looks no different from real wine.
There are no labels on the plastic bottles.
It is a "three-no" product.
The old man actually treated this bottle of liquid of unknown origin as a treasure.
"No, besides the aroma of wine, there seems to be a pungent smell." After Li Quan grabbed the bottle and shook it violently, he opened the bottle cap again and smelled it.
His skill of identifying medicine has been demonstrated.
Use smell and sight to identify the ingredients of this bottle of 'wine'.
I should have licked it with my tongue to taste it.
However, since he knew that this was a bottle of poisoned wine, Li Quan would definitely not do anything stupid.
After smelling it a few times, Li Quan actually felt a little dizzy.
It seems that just smelling this thing will cause poisoning.
"It is the smell of wine, yes, but it seems to be a little different. It is much more pungent than the smell of wine. Like wine, it is colorless and has the smell of wine. Drinking it will cause blindness and is even highly poisonous. What on earth could this be?"
Li Quan racked his brains and tried his best to deduce the ingredients of this bottle of "wine".
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
"Could it be that the bottle contains methanol, the twin of real wine?"
Real wine is usually packaged in glass bottles.
Methanol is the main ingredient in making disinfectants. Because it is highly corrosive, it is usually packaged in plastic bottles.
[You have successfully performed the Medicine Identification Technique, skill points +10. ]
It seems that Li Quan's judgment is correct.
The liquid in this bottle is indeed methanol.
Methanol is a colorless, volatile liquid with an alcoholic odor. It is toxic. Ingesting 5 to 10 ml can cause blindness, and drinking large amounts can lead to death. Inhaling a small amount can cause dizziness, and inhaling too much can cause swelling of the eye capillaries, resulting in decreased vision, and in severe cases, blindness.
"Where did this bottle of liquid come from? If I'm not mistaken, it is likely to be deadly methanol. This is what we often call disinfectant."
Li Quan asked the family about the origin of the bottle of fake wine.
"I have no impression of this bottle. Maybe my wife bought it. I'll call and ask."
The man immediately called his wife.
The questions were answered quickly.
It turned out to be bought by his wife.
"President Li, you are amazing. The bottle really does not contain wine, but disinfectant that my wife bought online. Sigh... I don't know how my dad found it and drank it as wine. This is really terrible..."
The man sighed anxiously.
"Your father is really brave. He dares to drink this." Li Quan really admires the old man's courage.
"Doctor, is it serious if he drinks this? He has been drinking it for several days in a row. Oh, this old confused guy, it really makes me anxious..." The old lady who brought the bottle of fake wine was also stamping her feet in anxiety.
"Of course it is serious! Methanol itself is non-toxic and mainly causes sedation of the central nervous system. However, after methanol enters the human body, it is oxidized and metabolized to produce formic acid, which is highly toxic.
In theory, even for an adult man, accidentally drinking 30 ml to 100 ml of methanol is enough to be fatal.
Your husband drank for several days in a row, and the amount exceeded the lethal dose, but he did not die. I guess it is probably because he drank alcohol for many years, and a large amount of undigested ethanol accumulated in his body.
Because the ingredient of real alcohol is ethanol, it is a medicine for treating methanol poisoning.
This is also equivalent to indirectly saving your husband's life.
But this is just my personal inference. The specific situation depends on the patient's performance during the subsequent rescue process."
Li Quan explained the reason to the family members.
After hearing this, the family members were very impressed with Li Quan's medical skills, but at the same time they were worried about the patient.
Now we can only wait for a good result after the hospital’s rescue.
Li Quan personally participated in the rescue operation.
The old man who suffered from methanol poisoning was given medication to correct systemic acidosis, and folic acid, vitamin B1 and vitamin B6 were supplemented to optimize the non-toxic metabolic pathway for eliminating methanol.
After a series of rescue operations, the patient underwent gastroscopy and stool examination.
The main purpose is to evaluate the condition of the upper gastrointestinal mucosa.
Professor Tang from the Department of Internal Medicine recommended hormone shock therapy for the patient.
All that remains is to wait patiently.
It takes time for the human body to recover and detoxify. It takes at least three days to metabolize all the methanol in the body.
After treating the patient who almost died, Li Quan returned to the optic nerve clinic of the ophthalmology department to continue his consultation.
He still remembers the family member of patient No. 9 who took the initiative to line up at the end of the queue.
At this time, Dr. Xin Le had basically treated all the patients.
Some patients who were uncertain were examined and admitted to the hospital first.
Waiting for Li Quan to consult together.
This is also what Li Quan told him to do.
Anyway, we can no longer push patients out.
"Liu Lu, call patient number 9!"
Li Quan saw that it was almost noon and he had to finish treating patient No. 9 before lunch.
A moment later, Patient No. 9 walked into the clinic accompanied by her father.
"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Li Quan apologized to the highly cultured family member of the patient.
"You are so polite." The man was very respectful to Li Quan. "My daughter's eyesight has deteriorated seriously recently, and she often complains of eye pain. Please take a look at her."
"OK!"
Li Quan asked Liu Lu to register the patient's basic information.
He began to follow the procedure and examined the patient first.
"Little boy, what's your name and how old are you?" Li Quan asked.
"Uncle doctor, my name is Guan Yue and I am seven years old." The little girl answered Li Quan's question in a crisp voice.
"Well, good! You are great! Now tell me, when did you start to feel your vision becoming blurry? And if you have any other uncomfortable symptoms, you can tell me."
Li Quan began to ask about the little girl's condition.
"Hmm... let me think about it, it's been about two or three weeks. At first, it was just a little discomfort in my eyes, and then I felt that my eyes were always hurting. Recently, I always feel weak all over, and sometimes my head hurts. That's it, that's it."
Li Quan took the symptoms described by the little girl very seriously.
This is not a minor illness.
Because according to the eye disease treatment skills that Li Quan had learned, common eye diseases would at most cause the patient to go blind, and rarely affect the whole body.
But the little girl's illness had affected her entire body, so Li Quan deduced that her illness must be serious.
"Okay, your answer is very detailed. Uncle wants to praise you. Now let your uncle give you further examination." Li Quan opened the little girl's eyelids and took a look, then asked her to stick out her tongue to check her tongue coating.
Finally, take the pulse.
By the time Li Quan finished taking the patient's pulse, a hint of solemnity was already evident between his brows.
"Director Li, is my daughter's illness serious?" The man saw that Li Quan's expression became very serious, and his heart was hanging in the air.
"Be prepared, this disease may be more serious than you think. I'll prescribe an MRI for you first, which mainly checks three parts: the head, eyes, and spinal cord. Then I'll do a cerebrospinal fluid test to determine the cause of the disease."
Li Quan wrote an application for examination for the patient.
The man looked very serious when he took his daughter for a check-up.
There was a deep worry between his brows.
…
After finishing the examination for the patient, it was already past noon and Li Quan hurried to eat.
He was still thinking about the little girl's illness.
It is just a small ophthalmology and optic neurology clinic, but I didn't expect that it would see so many patients with complicated conditions in just one morning.
This also made Li Quan deeply aware that nothing is trivial in the hospital.
You must be extremely careful when treating every patient.
Before two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Quan arrived at the outpatient department to see patients.
I believe that every patient who comes here because of his reputation hopes that Li Quan can complete their diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
Li Quan naturally had to do his best to diagnose and treat them.
Doctor Xin Le didn't arrive until nearly 2:30.
He is the director of the ophthalmology department and has a lot of things to deal with.
With one more doctor to diagnose patients, efficiency is much higher.
Soon, all the patients were cleared out.
Li Quan's meridian-opening technique is still 10% short of experience points.
Unfortunately, he has not found a suitable patient. Because if he wants to earn skill points for his meridian-opening technique, he must treat patients with nerve problems.
Most of the patients we just treated are taking medication or undergoing surgery.
"Director Xin, among the patients you treated this morning, were there any with difficult and complicated diseases?" Li Quan began to actively look for patients who needed to be treated with the meridian-opening technique.
"There are no difficult or complicated cases. However, there is a patient with damaged optic nerve. Your Chinese medicine treatment may help him recover quickly."
Dr. Xin Le gave Li Quan the patient's test results and information.
"Well, this patient is indeed suitable for Chinese medicine and acupuncture therapy. I will go over and talk to the patient now to see if he is willing to choose Chinese medicine." Li Quan immediately ran to the inpatient ward to talk to the patient directly.
The patient was a fan of Li Quan and knew that Li Quan's medical skills were very advanced.
After Li Quan explained the general situation to him, he agreed without saying a word.
…
More than an hour later, in the quiet treatment room, Li Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Finally, we succeeded in clearing the blocked nerves for the patient.
[You successfully performed acupuncture, skill points +10. ]
[You have successfully performed the Meridian Transmission Technique, skill points +10. ]
[You have successfully performed the eye disease treatment skill, skill points +10. ]
Li Quan's efforts were richly rewarded.
As he learned more and more divine medical skills, he found that after successfully curing a patient's disease, there would often be unexpected surprises. It was not the first time that he had gained experience points by learning multiple divine medical skills at the same time.
Many of the miraculous medical skills he learned can be combined into a more advanced set of medical skills.
For example, acupuncture, meridian-opening techniques, and specialized eye disease treatment techniques, when combined together, can cure almost all of the difficult eye diseases that Western medicine is helpless against.
Just after Li Quan gained skill points for three divine medical skills, he felt that a new door seemed to have opened in a treasure trove of knowledge and skills in his brain.
Some advanced meridian medical skills that he had never learned before appeared in his mind.
He knew that this was because his Jing Tong Shu had been successfully promoted.
【The art of promoting menstruation, 1% small success. 】
After checking all the attributes of the Miracle Doctor's skills, it turned out to be as expected.
The art of Tongjing has been successfully promoted to the minor success stage.
"Wow, what a surprise. After my meridian-opening technique has reached the minor success level, I can actually repair damaged nerves and cure some moderately difficult nerve diseases. This includes some new prescriptions and surgical repair methods."
Li Quan has been working hard to improve his meridian-regulating skills these past two days in order to cure Deputy Director Yang's daughter.
Now, he is fully capable of trying to treat Yang Caixuan's ALS.
If the treatment is successful, it will bring good news to all ALS patients.
Especially for some young ALS patients, Li Quan can change their life destiny as long as he can cure them.
When Li Quan came out of the treatment room, the family of Patient No. 9 was already waiting for him with the test results.
The little girl was very sensible and followed her father without saying a word.
"Dean Li, can my daughter be cured? She is still so young, you must save her! Even if I have to sell my only house, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing to do my best to save her."
The words of the little girl's father once again moved Li Quan.
Not every father can be as great as this man.
Some fathers were not only reluctant to spend money on their daughters’ medical treatment, but were even more shameless and quietly left with the money donated by netizens, leaving their seriously ill daughters to die in the hospital.
Human nature can be so selfish that it is even worse than that of animals.
In hospitals, you can often see moments when money tests human nature.
Li Quan has seen such a vivid example.
An elderly woman was rushed to the hospital by her children for emergency treatment because of a ruptured cerebral artery.
As a result, when the doctor told the elderly's children, the surgery would cost a lot of money. Moreover, the results of similar cases treated in hospitals are often not very ideal.
Only a very few people can save people from the hands of death.
In the end, those children kept discussing how they had to watch their old mother, who gave birth to them and raised them, lying on the cold hospital bed, lying alone in the operating room, with continuous intracranial bleeding.
Life is being taken away bit by bit.
Until the patient's heart stopped beating, none of the children were willing to step forward and say, "Doctor, please perform surgery on my mother."
Because they are afraid to pay.
In the end, they chose to sign and give up treatment.
Because they are afraid of losing both their money and their lives, they are unwilling to even try.
In fact, the old man has so many children. No matter how poor the family is, if each child contributes a little, the first surgical fee can definitely be raised.
If they had been seriously ill when they were young, their mothers would have done everything they could to save them without hesitation. That is human nature.
