- Chapter 499 - The miraculous effect of methylene blue
“What the hell is going on? I’m vomiting and having diarrhea, and my stomach hurts so badly. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the hospital.”
“PPA doesn’t work, and even drinking water doesn’t work. I felt like I was vomiting bile just now.”
“Why don’t we call 120? If this continues, I feel like I’m going to die.”
“I… Damn, it’s starting to hurt again.”
Someone was about to speak, but suddenly rolled over on the bed in pain.
The other people in the dormitory were helpless. They also endured the pain, their eyes were dull, and the muscles on their faces were as stiff as zombies.
“Hold on, I’ve called an ambulance, they’ll be here soon.”
As the number of poisoned people increased, Dong Sanshi, who was originally a hygienist at Runmei Chemical, was completely panicked at this moment.
He graduated from a medical school, but he gave up his job in the hospital after graduation because he was afraid of blood and couldn’t stand the horrifying scene.
He was assigned to Runmei Chemical as a hygienist, and he lived a carefree life every day.
You should know that the chemical plant is also a state-owned enterprise in the local area. If the employees have serious illnesses, they go directly to the designated Shengli Hospital.
Minor illnesses and minor disasters are handled by themselves.
So he is not needed for major or minor illnesses. He comes to work leisurely every day. Except for the cold and cough medicine, he is free and easy every day.
Originally thought that this kind of life would last until he retired, but unexpectedly, his small clinic was already crowded with people tonight.
All of them were seriously ill.
Not only were there people lying on the only two beds, but there were also people sitting on the ground and even in the corridor outside.
The antidiarrhea and antiemetic drugs placed in the clinic had long been empty, and even the infusion needles and intramuscular needles that had not been used for adults were arranged.
Dong Sanshi was busy inside and outside, and he had never been so busy in his life, but the effect was minimal.
“If it continues like this, it will not be a big deal. Why don’t you call 120 and ask.”
Dong Sanshi’s ears were filled with all kinds of wailing, which made him feel creepy.
At this moment, a strong light suddenly flashed outside the window, and an ambulance with sirens flashing suddenly appeared outside the door.
Dong Sanshi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
He didn’t care about anything else and quickly opened the door to welcome the ambulance.
“Who are you?”
Xiao Chenguang got off the ambulance and saw Dong Sanshi running towards him in a hurry.
“I’m the hygienist of this factory. I’ve finally waited for you.”
Dong Sanshi was so excited when he saw the man in a white coat.
Although he was also wearing a white coat at this time, the gap between the two was even greater than the chasm.
“Are you a hygienist?”
Xiao Chenguang quickly looked at Dong Sanshi in front of him and said.
“I’m a doctor from Shengli Hospital. Which worker in the factory is in the most serious condition? Are there any unconscious patients?”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll take you there!”
Dong Sanshi was waiting for Xiao Chenguang’s words. He grabbed Xiao Chenguang’s clothes like a life-saving straw and wanted to run to the health room.
The situation was urgent, and Xiao Chenguang didn’t care about this behavior.
He followed Dong Sanshi, the nurse held the life-saving medicine in her arms, and even the driver took the stretcher and carried the rescue box, and ran to the clinic together.
As soon as they arrived in the corridor, the sound of wailing was like an invisible pressure, making people breathless.
“Doctor, the doctor is here!”
I don’t know who called the doctor, and the workers who were originally leaning against the wall of the corridor with a lifeless face have some spirit.
They all looked at Xiao Chenguang, as if they saw a savior.
“Doctor, our stomach hurts too much, please give us medicine, we really can’t stand it.”
“Yes, doctor, please, we accept any injection, it’s too torturous to drag it on like this.”
There was a burst of pleading in the corridor.
At this moment, a terrified voice came from the clinic.
“Liu Gong, wake up, don’t scare us!”
“Why don’t you talk? Say something. Hey, wake up!”
The shouts became louder and louder, and the restless and desperate roar instantly swept the entire corridor.
“What happened to Liu Gong? Can’t he be woken up?”
“It’s possible. I remember that he was the first person in our factory who was found to be vomiting and diarrhea. I came to the health room with him at that time. It hasn’t been long since he lay down and couldn’t get up.”
The employee who was just groaning in the corridor was startled by Liu Gong’s sudden situation.
Compared with Liu Gong, their current situation can only be said to be acceptable.
So the wailing just now disappeared, and the whole corridor became much quieter.
“I’ll go in and take a look first. You go to the dormitory and see the employees over there. If the symptoms are similar to those in front of you, bring them all here. I have a way to treat them.”
Xiao Chenguang’s previous words were said to Dong Sanshi, and the last sentence was said to all the patients present.
“Is there a way?! Did I hear it right? This doctor said he has a way to cure the disease!”
“That’s great. It’s fine if it can be cured. Otherwise, God knows how long it will be painful.”
Dong Sanshi, who was closest to Xiao Chenguang at this time, was suddenly stunned.
He didn’t know where Xiao Chenguang got the confidence from. He didn’t even know the basic situation of the patient, but he dared to claim to cure the disease.
Although he is now a hygienist in the factory, Dong Sanshi is at least a graduate of a formal medical school. It is easy for Xiao Chenguang to make a promise like this.
After all, if the patient’s expectations are raised too high, if it is found that the disease cannot be cured, there will be unbearable consequences in the later stage.
But at this time, Xiao Chenguang didn’t care about what they thought and walked directly into the health room.
The man who came into view was the man called Liu Gong.
The man was about fifty years old, lying on the bed, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his lips purple and blue, as if he was about to be buried.
The one who kept calling his name was a young man in his early twenties, who looked like an apprentice.
At this time, he was anxious, his eyes were slightly red, and he stayed by the side of the middle-aged man.
“Make way, I’m a doctor.”
Xiao Chenguang came in and got straight to the point. When the apprentice saw that it was a man in a white coat, he immediately made way.
“Doctor, what happened to my master, can you save him?”
Although the apprentice didn’t know medicine, he knew that his master was in danger at the moment.
The rapid breathing and the rapidly rising and falling chest were like a drowning person who was about to drown.
“It can be saved! But I need your help.”
Xiao Chenguang’s steady voice spread throughout the health room and instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
“Okay, as long as I can save my master, I will listen to you no matter what you say.”
The two words “can save” blew into the apprentice’s heart like a spring breeze, making him feel extremely at ease.
“Give him an intravenous injection of methylene blue, 2 grams of vitamin C, and 200 mg of B6, mixed with 500 ml of sugar and saline, for rapid fluid replacement.”
“When he wakes up in a while, give him another intravenous injection of furosemide to clear the toxins.”
While Xiao Chenguang issued a rescue order, he opened the rescue box with the nurse and began to take out the medicines that needed to be prepared.
“Methylene blue?”
When Dong Sanshi heard the word methylene blue, he had some impressions in his mind, but because he had been away from the clinic for too long, he had returned a lot of knowledge to his teacher.
So he didn’t react on the spot, what exactly is the role of methylene blue.
The nurse followed the doctor’s instructions, broke open the glass bottle, and a stream of azure liquid was drawn into the syringe.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, the tube of blue liquid was pushed into Liu Gong’s body.
“Why is there a blue liquid? If it is injected into the blood vessels, will it dye the blood blue?”

This scene made everyone dumbfounded.
After all, when they go to the hospital, the most used liquid is transparent and colorless.
Only a few hemostatic drugs such as vitamin K1 have a light yellow liquid.
This blue medicine is the first time I have seen it.
But for Xiao Chenguang, let alone blue medicine, even red medicine is also available.
For example, methylcobalamin used for nerve nutrition is a red liquid.
“Doctor, doctor, can my master’s illness be cured by injecting this blue medicine?” The apprentice asked anxiously.
As soon as the voice fell, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Liu Gong, who was originally unconscious, stopped agitating.
Not only that.
The purple skin began to return to normal.
Even the symptoms of high fever and chills were gradually relieved.
“This?!”
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned and speechless.
For a moment, the whole health room was silent. At this moment, everyone seemed to have forgotten that they were patients.
“What happened inside suddenly? Why is there no sound?”
“I don’t know. Not long after the doctor in the white coat went in, there was no noise inside.”
“Do you think it’s because the disease has been cured and the pain is gone, so everyone stopped howling.”
“It’s very possible. Go in and take a look. Maybe the medicine we will use later will have this effect.”
In the corridor, the staff waiting to see the doctor suddenly found that the situation in the health room was different.
There were no painful shouts or desperate wails. Everyone looked at Mr. Liu on the bed with a look of astonishment.
The apprentice who was guarding Mr. Liu at this moment seemed more shocked than others.
Because he was the closest and saw the most clearly.
When this 2ml tube of blue liquid was pushed into the master’s body, the bruises on his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He really couldn’t imagine that the medicine in the needle tube, which was not as thick as his little finger, could have such an amazing effect.
It was simply a magic medicine that could make bones turn white and the dead come alive.
At this time, Mr. Liu, who was in a coma, began to wake up.
He opened his eyes tiredly, and the indescribable abdominal pain was relieved by half at this moment.
“Disciple, what happened to me just now?”
“Master, it’s okay, I just slept. How do you feel now?”
“It’s much better than at the beginning. The feeling of a knife cutting in the stomach before has disappeared.”
The conversation between the two stunned Dong Sanshi, who had not left yet.
In addition to shock, there was more admiration in his eyes.
As a hygienist in the factory, he also graduated from a serious medical school. He tried his best tonight and used various measures on the patient, but they were ineffective.
Unexpectedly.
Now a small blue medicine can actually pull the patient who was in danger back.
Wait!
Blue medicine, methylene blue…
Thinking of this, Dong Sanshi seemed to realize something.
“Doctor, are they suffering from nitrite poisoning?”
Faced with the question, Xiao Chenguang nodded.
“Yes, it’s nitrite poisoning.”
When this was said, everyone present was stunned.
Nitrite is a thing that everyone knows.
We can see its shadow in daily production and life. Although it can be used normally, it is only for the human body. Once it exceeds the amount, it is a hundred times more toxic than arsenic.
“We are poisoned by nitrite. How could this happen?”
“I always thought it was just a simple stomachache. I didn’t expect it to be so toxic.”
Everyone found it difficult to accept such a result.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang continued: “All of you who have vomiting and diarrhea and symptoms, have you eaten in the cafeteria today?”
Faced with the question, everyone nodded.
At first, they only thought that there was something wrong with the food in the cafeteria today, but they never thought it would be such a big deal.
Suddenly, a tense atmosphere instantly filled the entire health room.
“Doctor, what should we do? Please give us an injection of methylene blue.”
“Yes, we are also very uncomfortable now. The poison is in our body. I am afraid that if we delay it, we will become like Mr. Liu.”
Everyone couldn’t help but make a request when they saw the blue medicine used by Xiao Chenguang.
After all, there is only one life. Other things can be given up, but for this kind of thing, you naturally have to strive to be the first to receive treatment.
“Don’t panic, I will let everyone receive the most basic treatment according to the condition.”
“But now, you need to follow my arrangements. Only in this way can more people be treated.”
Faced with the collective poisoning incident, the treatment provided by Xiao Chenguang’s ambulance alone is very limited.
What he has to do is to classify all the poisoned patients according to the severity before other ambulances arrive.
Severely ill patients receive treatment in the health room and wait for the ambulance to be transferred back to the hospital.
For patients with relatively mild conditions, vomiting is induced on the spot to reduce the absorption of toxicity.
“Dong Sanshi, go and notify all the employees in the dormitory who have symptoms to come here for treatment.”
Xiao Chenguang’s words were like an imperial decree to Dong Sanshi at this moment.
He hurried to the dormitory.
At the same time.
Liu Gong, who was lying on the bed, also completely regained consciousness at this moment.
Although he was still very weak, he was much better than before.
The nurse began to inject the prepared penicillin skin test into the patient’s body according to Xiao Chenguang’s instructions.
Prepare to give him anti-infection treatment.
“Director Xiao, the skin test will probably take another 20 minutes.”
The nurse marked the time and range of the bulge on the inside of the patient’s forearm.
Then told the apprentice next to him to keep an eye on the time and help remind him when the time comes.
After all, there are so many patients on the scene. If everyone needs an injection and infusion, the nurse alone can’t handle it.
“When the skin test results come out, tell me that he needs to be given piperacillin to fight infection and reduce inflammation.”
“For the rest, open all the infusion devices and saline in the rescue box. We will give injections to each patient and treat them.”
“Understood.”
Although there were many patients on the scene, the dark mass made people a little breathless.
But the nurse still followed Xiao Chenguang’s instructions very skillfully and performed the operation.
Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang was also not idle. After ensuring that there was no emergency for the patients in the health room, he began to conduct pre-examination and triage.
Walking out of the room, it felt that there were more patients in the corridor outside the house than when I first came.
Although it was messy and everyone’s expression was painful, the moment they saw Xiao Chenguang coming out, everyone immediately quieted down and waited for his diagnosis and treatment.
