Chapter 462: Chapter 449: Intelligence Online
What?
Poisoned?
Fang Hou was taken aback, and even Manager Fang next to him was shocked, “Is Manager Zhuang implying that my young master has been poisoned by someone?”
“We can’t be sure yet if someone deliberately poisoned him or if Manager Cheng was accidentally exposed to the poison.”
Zhuang Qingning replied, “What we can now be certain of is that Manager Cheng has indeed been poisoned, and the poison has invaded his five internal organs. But based on his pulse, it would be difficult to treat as it seems like his five organs are all damaged.”
“Then, does Manager Zhuang have a cure?” Fang Hou hurriedly asked.
Manager Fang on the side also nodded along.
“There is indeed a… ” said Zhuang Qingning, “but I’ll need you to leave the room. Your presence may interfere with the treatment.”
“This…” Fang Hou and Manager Fang exchanged glances.
Sometimes, doctors do need to be alone when treating patients.
Some do so to prevent others from stealing medical knowledge, while others adopt this practice because their treatments are extreme, fearing that observers may lose control of their emotions and end up disrupting the treatment.
The Cheng family also owns a pharmacy, so as Fang Hou and Manager Fang have some medical knowledge, they understood Zhuang Qingning’s request.
After weighing up the situation for a moment, they both nodded.
“Then, we’ll wait outside. If Miss Zhuang needs any help, just call us. How long do you think it will take?”
“Approximately, the time it takes to brew a pot of tea,” Zhuang Qingning said. “Could you prepare some hot water, alcohol, and candles for me?”
“Yes.” Fang Hou quickly prepared these items and then, following Zhuang Qingning’s instructions, he and Manager Fang waited outside the door.
Seeing them leave and the door closed tightly, Zhuang Qingning heaved a sigh of relief and washed her hands with the hot water.
Then…
So, what now?
[Because this poison damages the internal organs, taking oral medicine is too slow. The logical method would be intravenous drip, but using modern medical equipment would be too conspicuous. The compromise is to inject the antidote into the muscles.]
[The system has prepared the medicine and disposable syringe. The host can start injecting.]
Zhuang Qingning sighed in relief again.
Phew, that’s relieving. It’s within her ability.
Having worked as a volunteer medical assistant in remote areas, she could perform basic procedures like blood drawing, IV and muscular injections, and basic wound treatment. Anything more advanced, such as diagnosing diseases and minor surgeries, would exceed her skillset.
Zhuang Qingning put on a disposable mask and latex gloves provided by the system, and skillfully unwrapped the syringe before drawing the drugs into it.
The best place for a muscular injection is the buttock muscles because it’s loosely structured and facilitates the absorption of the drug.
But, in this situation…
Zhuang Qingning felt it was physically and psychologically unacceptable to pull down a collaborator’s trousers, especially as he was a young man. After hesitating, she injected the antidote into the deltoid, the upper arm where vaccinations are usually administered – the second-best spot after the buttocks.
The dose of the antidote wasn’t large, and the deltoid muscle could contain it completely.
Rolling up sleeves, disinfecting, injecting, injecting medicine, and removing the needle…
In one smooth motion, Zhuang Qingning skillfully pressed a cotton swab onto the puncture site. After a while, seeing no adverse effects, she gathered up the medical waste and handed it over to a certain medical waste disposal facility.
