Chapter 446 - Sacrifice Out Of Love (1/2)
Zheng Ren did not have much to do. He stood up and walked out to the corridor.
At the same time, the surgeon-on-duty also walked out with a perturbed look on his face.
It was already so late and everyone was reluctant to actually do their job at this hour.
The Internal Medicine Department wished that there were surgical patients, while the surgery department wished that they were internal medicine patients.
Zheng Ren smiled and said, “Go and rest for a while. I’ll handle it.”
The surgeon was immediately pleased. He thanked him and did not bother keeping up pretense as he returned to the on-duty room.
After a busy day, all the energy in his body had been drained. He could rest for as long as he could. There was no need for formalities.
A few minutes later, the sound of a stretcher trolley could be heard from one side of the corridor.
“How’s the patient?” Zheng Ren asked from afar.
“The patient overdosed!” The ambulance doctor limped forward as he pulled the stretcher trolley and hurried over.
Zheng Ren did not understand. Life was hard, but taking poison…
Before he could sigh, two stretcher trolleys could be seen.
Zheng Ren looked at the diagnosis on the system panel at the top right corner of his vision and was stunned.
For one of them, the system panel showed a faint green color, full of vitality. It was clear that he was not sick.
The other was a dark red, indicating that the patient’s condition was very serious.
What was going on?
Zheng Ren let the first stretcher trolley pa.s.s as he helped to send the second stretcher trolley into the Emergency Room.
“Chief Zheng, this is the patient who took the poison. The two of them took a bottle of sleeping pills and other drugs. The bottle is on this side,” the ambulance doctor said hurriedly. He took out a bottle and a few flat medicine boxes from the plastic bag in his hand.
Carbamazepine… Eszolam..
“What happened to your foot?” Zheng Ren asked.
“It was slippery. I twisted it while lifting the patient” the ambulance doctor answered immediately. “It’s nothing.”
Zheng Ren nodded. He looked at the two patients and saw that the nurse was preparing to save the man first.
“Don’t worry. The female patient is on ECG monitoring. Prepare to have her stomach pumped. Inform the Department of Digestive Medicine to come for a consultation.” Zheng Ren glanced at the medicine bottle and began to give out orders.
The male “patient” was about thirty-one or thirty-two years old. He was lying quietly on the stretcher trolley.
Zheng Ren judged from the system interface that he was fine. He just asked the nurse to take the time to put him on ECG to check his blood pressure to prevent any accidents.
The female patient, who was twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, had already developed an arch reflex. Her entire body was trembling non-stop, white foam flowing out from the corner of her mouth.
Zheng Ren picked up the flashlight and looked at her pupils. Both of her pupils had begun to dilate.
How much Carbamazepine had she taken?!
Carbamazepine was a drug used to treat epilepsy and manic depression. She had taken carbamazepine orally to commit suicide. She was really ready to die.
In the past, people had taken sleeping pills to commit suicide. Everyone thought that people who took sleeping pills died peacefully.
However, what most people did not know was that when people killed themselves by taking sleeping pills, what awaited them at the last moment of their lives was not peace and joy. At the last moment, they had to endure the pain of their internal organs burning like a raging fire for about half an hour. (Note 1)
However, their bodies were unable to move under the effects of sleeping pills.
It was undoubtedly the cruelest form of torture to feel such pain but be unable to move.
Because more and more people were committing suicide by taking sleeping pills, the concentration in sleeping pills had dropped to a terrifying level in the past decade. In other words, if they were to take sleeping pills now, they would definitely not die.
Patients who needed sedative treatment were all admitted to the hospital and given intravenous injections.
However, the patient in front of him had not only taken the drug Estazolam, but also a large amount of Carbamazepine.
He had to induce vomiting, gastric lavage, and drainage first. Whether this young female patient could be saved or not was still indeterminable.
