Chapter 341 Food Poisoning

Chen Tianlin soon came to the emergency department, when he just walked into the emergency department hall, a noisy quarrel came from the nurse's platform, so that Chen Tianlin's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, he saw a nurse pushing a tool cart towards him, opened his mouth to ask, "Miss nurse, what happened?"

Chen Tianlin didn't know the nurse standing in front of him, but the nurse knew him, and when the nurse heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, she immediately opened her mouth and introduced: "Director Chen! Our emergency department received a patient in the early hours of this morning, and when the patient was brought in, he showed symptoms such as numbness in the upper lip, weakness in the limbs, nausea, vomiting, and unsteady gait. ”

"Dr. Zhou, who was on duty, found that the patient's vomit was mixed with seafood residues, and extracted the patient's vomit for testing, and finally diagnosed it as food poisoning, and gave the patient medicine according to the treatment method of food poisoning. ”

Chen Tianlin heard the nurse's introduction, and then he understood that Director Ye called him, not because he found an unknown virus, but because he asked him to come as a firefighter, and understood the reason why Director Ye came to him, Chen Tianlin asked the nurse standing in front of him: "Miss nurse, where is the patient?"

"Director Wu, the patient is currently in the observation room, and Director Ye is examining the patient in the observation room. The nurse heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry and immediately told Chen Tianlin where the patient was in the ward.

Chen Tianlin heard the nurse's introduction, smiled and thanked the nurse, and then walked in the direction of the observation room.

Chen Tianlin soon came to the door of the observation room, he saw Director Ye who was examining the patient through the glass window, and then pushed open the door of the observation room, and asked Director Ye with a serious face: "Director Ye, how is the situation?"

When Director Ye heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, he thought of the patient's illness, and said with a frown: "Xiao Chen! You are here! Come and see this patient." ”

Chen Tianlin heard Director Ye's words, walked to the bed, first reached out to hold the patient's wrist, and immediately found that the patient's wrist was very cold, then reached out to open the patient's eyes, check the patient's pupils, and finally turned on the human image scanning system to scan the patient's body.

"Master, the patient's body contains neurological toxins, one is from the body of the puffer fish, to be exact. "Just as Chen Tianlin was doing a body imaging scan of the patient's body, his brain suddenly received information from the medical assistance system.

Chen Tianlin was very surprised and puzzled at the same time by receiving the information transmitted by the medical auxiliary system, because tetrodotoxin is a strong neurotoxin, equivalent to 1250 times that of the highly toxic drug sodium cyanide, and only 0.48 mg can kill people.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianlin felt very puzzled, and said to Director Ye with a serious face: "Director Ye! Judging from the patient's reaction, Dr. Zhou's diagnosis of the patient's food poisoning is completely correct, and judging from the patient's clinical reaction, I suspect that it should be a neurotoxin, by the way! After the patient was sent to the hospital yesterday, he vomited a lot of things, which were mixed with some seafood residues, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Dr. Zhou, who was standing next to Director Ye, was relieved to hear Chen Tianlin agree with his diagnosis, and hurriedly replied, "Director Chen! The patient's vomit is indeed mixed with a lot of seafood residues, including shrimp, fish, and snail meat!"

"Snail meat, is it the wheat snail meat that is abundant in our Jiangcheng?" Chen Tianlin heard the doctor's answer, and suddenly felt that he had grasped the key point at once, and hurriedly confirmed to Doctor Zhou.

Hearing Chen Tianlin mention the wheat snail meat, the doctors in the observation room suddenly felt a sense of surprise, and Director Ye was even more pleased to confirm to Chen Tianlin: "Xiao Chen, do you mean that the patient took stale or poisonous wheat snails, which eventually led to food poisoning?"

After confirming that the patient had used wheat snail meat, the mystery in Chen Tianlin's heart was finally solved, and he replied with a smile: "Director Ye! I heard that when the patient was first sent to the hospital, he had symptoms such as numbness in the upper lip, weakness in the limbs, nausea, vomiting, and unsteady gait, which was obviously a reaction to a neurotoxin. ”

"Among the many seafood in our Jiangcheng, only the puffer fish has nerve toxins in its body, but the nerve toxins in the body of the puffer fish are very strong, and once poisoned, it can't last five minutes at all. ”

"This judgment made me feel very puzzled, until Dr. Zhou just said that the patient's food residue spit out of the snail meat, my mind was completely solved, wheat snail is based on algae as the main food, different seasons cause some algae to be poisonous, some are non-toxic, wheat snail uses toxic algae, which causes the internal organs to produce toxins similar to puffer fish poison, this toxin is usually heat-resistant, it is difficult to destroy it at general cooking temperature, the patient should have used poisonous wheat snails, resulting in food poisoning. ”

When Director Ye heard Chen Tianlin's diagnosis, he subconsciously patted his head and said regretfully: "Why did I forget the wheat snail? Xiao Zhou! Immediately prepare a gastric lavage machine and immediately perform gastric lavage for the patient. ”

Dr. Zhou thought of the situation when the patient was sent yesterday, and made him regret that he did not understand in detail the food that the patient ate when he ate yesterday, otherwise it would not have led to the current situation, he heard Director Ye's order, and quickly nodded and replied, "Director! I will wash the patient's stomach now." ”

He walked out of the observation room and saw the patient's family members who were still making trouble in front of the nurse's station, frowned slightly, walked forward quickly, and shouted loudly to the family members of these emotional patients: "Don't make any more trouble, the patient's condition has been diagnosed, it is food poisoning caused by eating poisonous wheat snails, and now our doctor is preparing to wash the patient's stomach." ”

When a young woman heard Chen Tianlin's shout, she immediately walked up to Chen Tianlin and confirmed to Chen Tianlin with a puzzled expression: "Doctor! Are you telling the truth? Is it true that my husband was poisoned by eating wheat snails? When I went out to eat yesterday, I also ate a lot of wheat snails, why am I fine, but he is fine?"
