Chapter 14 Potassium Poisoning
At half past six in the morning, it was already dawn, Qi Luoling hurriedly got up, dressed and washed, packed everything, walked out of the bedroom, and came to the living room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the living room, Qi Luoling glanced at Sister Wang's door, and the door was closed. According to the usual practice, Sister Wang should have already gotten up and started preparing breakfast.
Sister Wang should still be sleeping. Maybe it was because her hand was scratched last night and it wasn't comfortable, but it's okay, let her rest a little longer.
Qi Luoling took out the yogurt and bread from the refrigerator, closed the security door, and hurried to the hospital.
Because the time was too early and the road was not blocked, Qi Luoling came to the hospital early. There are not many patients in the hospital. She first came to Gu Tianye's resting place, the general doctor's lounge was next to the hospital office, and she quickly found the doctor's lounge
The door to the lounge was hidden. Qi Luoling pushed the door and entered, a very small room. With two bunk beds and a computer desk, the small space takes up almost all the space in the lounge.
Gu Tianye lay on the bed in the lower bunk, sleeping quietly.
After a busy day and a night, he should be very tired, Qi Luoling didn't disturb him, gently exited the lounge, and closed the door.
Qi Luoling came to the doctor's office on the fifth floor and came to the desk of her attending physician, Dr. Chen.
"Dr. Chen, I'm here."
Dr. Chan was in his early forties, not tall, with a red face and bright eyes, and he looked very capable. He was immersed in checking the information, and when he heard Qi Luoling's voice, he hurriedly raised his head and said, "I was thinking about why you can't pay it back?" Where's your husband? ”
"He was sleeping in the break room and I didn't wake him up. What's wrong with my inspection report? ”
"Uh-huh, after the surgery, I found that the potassium concentration of your serum was abnormal. To be on the safe side, I will give you a test form, including blood routine, electrocardiogram and kidney function tests, and you can repeat it again. Dr. Chen put down the information in his hand, raised his head, and said to her seriously.
After hearing this, Qi Luoling felt a little uneasy in her heart, and took the checklist nervously, and finally completed the inspection project after an hour.
She sat on a bench in the hall and waited for the result, a bad feeling spreading like a drop of thick black ink into pure water.
Half an hour later, Dr. Chen hurriedly walked towards her with Gu Tianye.
Walking up to her, Gu Tianye looked flustered, took her by the hand and led her into the doctor's office, followed by Dr. Chen.
"What's wrong?" Qi Luoling's heart was raised to his throat.
"According to your serum potassium concentration, it is well over 5.8mEq/L, and your ECG is significantly abnormal. Based on these, it means that you are already potassium poisoned and belong to moderate hyperkalemia. You're going to have to be hospitalized right away. ”
"How so? How could I get poisoned? What's going on here? Qi Luoling was startled and muttered.
"I want to ask you, have you been feeling sick lately? Do you have any symptoms of bradycardia, weakness in the limbs, confusion, or paresthesia? Dr. Chen asked solemnly.
"Yes, I've always had these symptoms." She replied in the affirmative.
"How long?"
She thought about it for a moment and said, "Maybe three or four months." ”
Dr. Chen's mouth opened wide in surprise and hurriedly said, "Then have you ever taken potassium-containing drugs for a long time?" ”
She didn't understand potassium-containing drugs very well, so she couldn't help but turn around and look at Gu Tianye for help.
Gu Tianye was on the side, thought for a while and said, "She has never taken it. ”
"Did she have acute or chronic renal insufficiency before?"
"Nope." Gu Tianye said with certainty.
"Then how did she have high potassium in her blood?" Dr. Chan muttered quietly.
Maybe it was too nervous, Qi Luoling's chest tightened, and the world in front of him was spinning, and she almost fainted.
Gu Tianye hurriedly helped her, and the two helped Qi Luoling onto the hospital bed and asked her to rest for a while.
Suddenly, Gu Tianye seemed to remember something, and a picture flashed in his mind.
"Doctor Chen, please help me take care of my wife, I'll go out for a while and come back soon." After speaking, Gu Tianye ran out like a whirlwind.
Dr. Chen was about to say something to Gu Tianye, but found that he had already run away, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
Gu Tianye drove the car quickly on the fast lane, the wind blew in through the open one-finger-wide window, and his mind was unusually clear. It was at that moment that he suddenly understood a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy.
When the car drove to the door of his community, Gu Tianye immediately parked the car at the intersection of the street, although parking is not allowed here, but now he can't take care of it.
Gu Tianye ran into the community as fast as he could, got on the elevator, and entered the house.
His heart was in a hurry, and he pushed open the door of the study with all his might. Since the nanny Sister Wang came, this study has been changed to her bedroom, and it is full of the personal things of the nanny Sister Wang.
To Gu Tianye's surprise, the scene in the study was really messy.
The second door of the innermost wardrobe in the room was unclosed and open, and the inside was empty, except for a few blue plastic hangers hanging crookedly from stainless steel poles. The bottom of the wardrobe is scattered with several black T-shirts worn in the summer.
On the small double bed, the sheets obviously didn't have time to be arranged, and they were wrinkled. The quilt with a white bottom line and blue flowers on the bed was not folded, and it was wrapped in a mess.
There is an earthy yellow desk in front of the bed, and messy items large and small take up space.
All this shows that the nanny Sister Wang was in a hurry to sort things out at that time, and she walked in such a hurry, it must have been an omission, and something very important was definitely left behind.
Gu Tianye first ran to the bedside table, opened the first compartment of the drawer, and turned the contents upside down, no! Then the second square, the third square, still nothing!
His forehead was covered with sweat, and his head kept thinking about where she could put that thing.
In the desk drawer in front of the bed, under the bed, and even the corner behind the door, he checked them one by one, no. Where would she put it?
He stood there, looking around the room once more. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the wardrobe, and in the corner of the wardrobe against the wall, he found several plates of aluminum-plastic tablets that had been unpacked. He flipped into the back of the pill and read "****** sustained-release tablets".
Once again, he was stunned and stood there. His feet went numb and he finally collapsed on the floor. I lowered my head, and tears fell down one by one.......
This Sister Wang was not found from the labor market at all, but was introduced by Nie Xiaoyu, saying that she was a distant relative of hers, and she was quick and simple. At that time, he was fascinated, and it stands to reason that the nanny at home used his lover's relatives.
But she said that Sister Wang was divorced and was alone for her daughter to go to college, and her life was a little embarrassing. But he is a man of duty and diligence, if he uses her kindly, it is equivalent to doing good deeds and helping her solve the difficulties in life. If he is not at ease, he can try Sister Wang for a while.
The most important thing is that she swears that Sister Wang doesn't know the relationship between the two, even if Gu Tianye hires Sister Wang, she will tell Sister Wang that this job was found for her from the employment agency.
As soon as Nie Xiaoyu said this, Gu Tianye thought that it was not easy for Sister Wang to be a woman, so his heart softened, so he agreed.
Sure enough, as Nie Xiaoyu said, Sister Wang is very diligent and simple. After a period of observation, he found that Sister Wang was still conscientious as a nanny, which made him and Gu Luoling feel very relieved.
Not only did she wipe the windows of her home spotless, but she also cooked well, so the two of them ate out less and less. Qi Luoling, who was pregnant at the time, gradually relied on the nutritious meal that Sister Wang gave her.
Every day after dinner, Sister Wang would accompany Qi Luoling to watch TV in the living room for a while, talking, and talking the most about what happened to her and some customs in the countryside. Qi Luoling listened to it with relish every time, and felt that it was very fresh and interesting. Seeing his wife so happy, he was also very satisfied.
But he hardly talked to Sister Wang, only when she stepped into the house, she saw him nodding and smiling, very simple. Sometimes when we eat together, we will ask him: "Xiao Gu, do you think the food is still appetizing?" He said, "Yes, it's all right." Then she said, "If you feel that something is unappetizing or wants to eat, just ask for it." "A gentle and kind look.
In fact, he also wanted to know if Sister Wang knew about the matter between him and Nie Xiaoyu. But he couldn't take the initiative to ask, because if she didn't know, it would mean that there were no three hundred taels of silver here, but it would be a bad thing. The only thing to do is to observe and observe.
Once, he tried to ask, "Do you have any relatives in the city?" She said: "Yes, I have a distant niece named Nie Nie Xiaoyu in Huashan Hospital." I was registered with the labor agency through her guarantee, and I was finally hired by you through the employment agency. ”
When she spoke, her attitude was very calm, her eyes were very sincere, and it didn't look like she was lying. He believed her and let go.
One day two months ago, he passed by her bedroom, the door was open, and there was a loud noise inside, as if something had fallen.
He was startled, and hurriedly pushed open the door to see that the suitcase had fallen from the closet, and the contents of the box were scattered all over the ground. Sister Wang squatted on the ground, hurriedly picking up things and stuffing them into the box.
Seeing him coming, she pointed to the bench next to her and said with a nervous expression: "I wanted to step on the bench and take down the suitcase from the top of the cabinet to find something, but as soon as my hand slipped, the box fell from above." Sorry, scared you, didn't you? ”
"It's fine." He smiled and walked away. When leaving, Yu Guang swept over the two boxes of medicine that fell in the box, maybe it was a professional habit, he paid special attention to it, the box was green and white, and there were three large words on the box surface, "Bu Da Xiu ****** sustained-release tablets". This drug, he is familiar with, because it treats hypokalemia caused by various causes of hypokalemia. In layman's terms, it is to supplement potassium ions.
When Qi Luoling was poisoned with potassium, Gu Tianye couldn't help but think of the ****** pills in the suitcase of Sister Wang, the nanny.
But now a terrible thought broke into his mind.
Could it be that Qi Luoling's miscarriage also has something to do with this?
Hyperkalemia is particularly toxic to the heart, causing a slowed heart rate, arrhythmias, conduction block, and even cardiac arrest. Similarly, potassium ions can cross the placental barrier and enter the placenta, which can also poison the potassium accumulation in the fetus, causing cardiac arrest.
His heart beat violently at the thought of this.
Since Qi Luoling was pregnant and had obvious fetal movements, when he was not working overtime, he accompanied Qi Luoling every night, and when he went to sleep, he had to lie on Qi Luoling's stomach to listen to the baby's fetal movements, feeling the magic of life.
Just the day before the baby's accident, he also listened to the baby's fetal movements as usual, and felt that the child's fetal movements were not obvious, unlike the previous strong fetal movements, he felt a little strange, thinking that the baby was asleep, so he didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the next day, Qi Luoling was admitted to the hospital for examination and found that the baby had no heartbeat.
All the evidence is to one person, and that is Nie Xiaoyu.
The thought of her made his head buzz, his eyes flashed with unquenchable rage, and he let out a roar like a wounded lion, and his hands clenched into fists, and he slammed hard against the wall.
