Chapter 274: Thrifty

Li Weidong instructed a few more words, Lin Haizhou went home from work to rest, this twenty-four hours, but Lin Haizhou was really tired.

Zhao Sheng is about to start a new 24-hour director on duty.

In the early morning, naturally there was no situation that Zhao Sheng needed to deal with so quickly, after all, several attending doctors were there with resident doctors and regular training doctors.

Therefore, this director is on duty, and it is more metaphysical.

If there were no cases that needed to be handled by a director-level doctor that day, it would have been an easy day.

The directors of other departments are basically like this, every day, they just look at the situation of serious and difficult patients, assign tasks, and as for other trivial things, naturally someone will do it.

Next, Zhao Sheng took Li Mujia and several attending doctors, as well as resident doctors and regular doctors, and went to the ward rounds.

Half an hour later, after checking the room, Zhao Shengcai returned to the director's office, sat on the sofa, and made a pot of tea.

I hope it's not a big shift today.

Zhao Sheng thought while sipping tea.

However, Zhao Sheng's relaxed time did not last long, because the head nurse Zhou Hong hurriedly entered the director's office and said to Zhao Sheng: "Director Zhao, there are food poisoning patients, and they will be sent later." ”

"Huh? Food poisoning again? ”

Zhao Sheng stood up, he had only dealt with a family of six before that only the father and son were left, and it could be said that the tragic [Sour Soup] poisoning incident was coming, and now it is coming again?

"Yes, this time it's a family of five."

The head nurse, Zhou Hong, nodded and said.

"Let's go, then."

Zhao Sheng said to Zhou Hong.

After a while, Zhao Sheng and Zhou Hong, as well as Li Mujia and another attending doctor, Gao Jun, were already waiting.

The reason why the Critical Emergency Center was established was to deal with such sudden and critical cases, according to the previous consultation process, critically ill patients had to wait for the emergency department to be triaged to various departments.

Now, after the establishment of the critical emergency center, there is no intermediate link, but according to the situation of the seriously ill patient, the hospital prepares in advance, and when the patient arrives, it will directly enter the rescue treatment process.

In this way, the waiting time for treatment of patients is greatly shortened, and the golden treatment time for many acute diseases can be grasped more easily.

After a while, three ambulances came at a gallop and stopped at the entrance of the hospital, the rear compartment quickly opened, and the emergency personnel helped a family of five from the rear compartment.

Zhao Sheng took a look, grandparents, parents, and a little boy, this is really a family of five.

And looking at the faces of a family of five, they are all sallow, their steps are vain, and they can't help but want to vomit while walking.

"Dr. Tan, what's the situation?"

Zhao Sheng asked Tan Bo, the emergency doctor on the car.

"It was said that it was fried with oil scraped off by a range hood yesterday, and the family began to feel nauseous and vomiting at night, and tossed in the local hospital until the morning, and then called an ambulance from our hospital."

Tan Bo briefly explained the situation.

"Huh? Can the oil scraped off the range hood also be used for stir-frying? ”

Zhao Sheng was shocked when he heard it.

Presumably everyone has had the experience of cleaning the range hood, the oil cleaned by the range hood is quite unpleasant, and you can't help but want to vomit after smelling it for a while, and some people use this oil to stir-fry?

You must know that the oil of the range hood is often left and fermented for a long time, which will produce various strong carcinogens.

"Who's to say it isn't."

Tan Bo also sighed.

"Okay, I'll leave it to me."

Zhao Sheng nodded.

Then, Zhao Sheng came to the father in the family, who looked to be a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a sallow face and a very weak face.

Seeing Zhao Sheng coming, the middle-aged man said, "Doctor. ”

"What's wrong with the main thing? Since when? ”

Zhao Sheng asked the middle-aged man.

Although I already knew the general situation from Tan Bo, it was still necessary to have a face-to-face consultation.

"It was yesterday afternoon, after dinner, I started to feel nauseous and vomiting, and my stomach was a little bloated."

The middle-aged man said a little weakly.

Next, the middle-aged man simply explained the ins and outs of the matter to Zhao Sheng.

It turned out that this was the case, yesterday he returned from a business trip, and the family also prepared a big meal, and the old mother also specially made his favorite fried meatballs, and he also happily enjoyed this rare warm time.

But what he didn't expect was that after dinner, he first had nausea and vomiting, and even the children, his wife, and the old couple all had symptoms one after another.

At this time, the middle-aged man realized that his family must have eaten something unclean.

After careful questioning, I found out that it was the old mother who used the oil scraped from the range hood to stir-fry.

She thought the oil didn't look like much, and it would be a bit of a pity if she just poured it like that.

Just stir-fry, especially that croquette.

The middle-aged man was doing business outside, and he was a little knowledgeable, and immediately realized that the family had food poisoning, so he called the 120 emergency number while asking the whole family to drink soapy water to induce vomiting.

"It was right to induce vomiting at the time, and you did a good job."

Zhao Sheng nodded, looked at the middle-aged man with some approval, and said.

Originally, he was still a little skeptical, but as soon as the middle-aged man said this, he could be sure that this family of five was aflatoxin poisoning.

Aflatoxin, a highly toxic substance, is mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus, which mainly contaminates grains, oils and their products, among which peanuts and corn are the most susceptible to contamination.

The waste oil scraped off by the range hood is very suitable for the production of aflatoxins.

Aflatoxin, which has long been classified as a class I carcinogen by the World Health Organization (WHO) Agency for Research on Cancer, is a class of highly toxic, similar in structure, stable in physical and chemical properties, and not easy to decompose, and its toxicity is much higher than that of cyanide, arsenide and organic pesticides.

Among them, aflatoxin B1 is the most carcinogenic natural toxin among the known carcinogens, with acute toxicity 10 times that of potassium cyanide and 68 times that of arsenic, and has a destructive effect on human and animal liver tissue.

In addition, aflatoxin is mainly metabolized in the liver, so the damage to the liver is the greatest, mainly including acute liver injury and induction of liver cancer, under normal circumstances, ingestion of 1 mg of aflatoxin may cause cancer; A single intake of 20 mg can be fatal!

This is because after aflatoxin enters the liver, it will stimulate liver cells to produce oxidative stress, that is, a large number of highly active molecules such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen radicals are produced in liver cells, which are too active and will react with various molecules in the cells.

In the short term, aflatoxin causes the accumulation of a large number of reactive oxygen species in liver cells, induces cell death, and leads to acute liver injury.

In the long term, the DNA of liver cells, due to long-term aflatoxin-induced reactive oxygen species attack, leads to DNA oxidation, which will lead to an exponential increase in the incidence of liver cancer!

In this way, this middle-aged man remembered to induce vomiting at that time, and vomited out the food contaminated with aflatoxin as soon as possible, which actually saved the life of this big family.

Induce vomiting at the first time, which greatly reduces the intake of aflatoxins, and the damaged liver has the possibility of recovery.
