- Chapter 500 - Massive gastric lavage
Xiao Chenguang looked at the corridor full of patients and said directly.
“I have a few questions, answer them truthfully.”
After seeing Xiao Chenguang’s treatment methods, the patients in the corridor immediately nodded.
“Okay, doctor.”
“As long as it can relieve our current pain, no matter what we do, we will listen to you.”
Seeing that they were very cooperative, Xiao Chenguang said directly: “Okay, listen to my arrangements.”
“Only patients with abdominal pain and diarrhea stand in the corridor on my left.”
“With symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, stand in the corridor on the right.”
As soon as Xiao Chenguang finished speaking, the crowd in the corridor immediately split into two sides.
“Have you all eaten in the cafeteria today?”
A seemingly unrelated question made everyone present look stunned.
At this time, someone subconsciously said.
“Is this incident really related to the canteen?”
“I thought it must be related to the canteen. Not long after I finished eating, I felt uncomfortable all over.”
“How did the people in this canteen cook food that caused collective food poisoning?”
The corridor was boiling instantly, and everyone was indignant, with anger in their eyes.
They had guessed the reasons in this regard before, but because everyone’s food was different, they didn’t think much about it.
Now that the doctor specifically mentioned this matter, they suddenly realized it.
But they never thought that such a thing would happen in the canteen where they ate the most on weekdays.
Just as everyone was talking and pens were accusing, the canteen staff who was also holding their stomachs said with a wronged face.
“I work in the canteen and I also ate in the canteen today. If it was really us who made trouble, we wouldn’t get ourselves involved.”
At this moment, his expression was also very painful, and his lips were a little blue.
The whole person was already limp from diarrhea, and he was weak when he spoke.
“Is it possible that someone mistook nitrite, which is used for food preservation, for edible salt and put it into the pot for frying?”
Xiao Chenguang’s words made the people in the cafeteria sweat.
Nitrite, edible salt…
The two are very similar in color and shape.
And today, he just bought a batch of meat. Because of improper storage, it was slightly spoiled. He was afraid of wasting it, so he prepared to store it with nitrite.
If at this time, someone mistakenly took that small box of nitrite as edible salt.
The consequences are unimaginable.
The cafeteria staff was struck by lightning.
The more he thought about it, the more possible it was, thinking that a full box of nitrite was put into the food.
Not to mention people, even elephants would be poisoned to death.
Seeing the expressions of the cafeteria staff, Xiao Chenguang’s heart sank. It seemed that it was almost as he expected. There was indeed such a thing as nitrite in the cafeteria.
“Quickly recall who accidentally put it in, how much was put in, and how much is stored in the cafeteria. This is related to the subsequent treatment.”
“It is impossible that someone would confuse these two things…”
The cafeteria staff muttered to themselves, as if they still did not believe this reality.
“Nitrite, if taken into the body in excess of the standard, will not only cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, and high fever, but also be accompanied by difficulty breathing, and bluish lips and fingers.”
“Now look at yourself to see if you have such a situation, and you will know if you are poisoned.”
Xiao Chenguang’s words, like a heavy hammer, hit the cafeteria staff’s hearts directly.
There is no need to verify it at all. The cafeteria staff now have bluish lips as Xiao Chenguang said.
In addition, he also vaguely felt a burst of shortness of breath, as if something was covering his mouth and nose, making him breathless.
“It’s really nitrite, this stuff can poison people to death!”
“Oh my god, doctor, I can’t take it anymore. After hearing what you said, I feel so uncomfortable that I can’t breathe.”
Looking at their gradually blue and purple skin, everyone was terrified, and the quiet scene suddenly became a little chaotic.
“Don’t panic, do as I say!”
Seeing this, Xiao Chenguang immediately said: “You standing in the row on my left, you are not poisoned deeply, just have stomachaches, which means that the food remains in it and has not been completely decomposed.”
“While the toxins have not been completely absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, hurry up to induce vomiting!”
“For the patients on the other side, I will ask the nurses to give you injections and infusions, and accelerate the metabolism of the toxicity through fluid replacement.”
Xiao Chenguang began to direct the rescue on the spot.
After a while, a half-person-high bucket appeared in front of everyone.
It was full of water, just like the large water tanks used to store water outside in the countryside, which could hold dozens or hundreds of liters of clean water at once.
“If you drink all this water, you will be cured.”
Then Xiao Chenguang poured a packet of white powder in front of everyone.
Everyone seemed a little overwhelmed when they saw this.
How can such a small packet cure so many people’s diseases?
And how can you drink all the water in the water tank?
I guess after a few scoops of water, you can’t walk.
“You don’t understand. This is called gastric lavage. I have seen people do gastric lavage when I accompanied them to the emergency room.”
“For awake people, just drink it one scoop at a time, and then spit it out to empty the toxins in the stomach.”
“If it is a coma, it may need to be lavaged with a tube. I haven’t seen it, but I have heard them talk about it.”
A patient who cooperated with the treatment very well had relatively mild symptoms. He directly picked up the scoop and began to gulp it into his stomach.
After seeing his demonstration, some patients who were in great pain also picked up the scoop and began to imitate him.
One scoop, two scoops, three scoops…
Seeing several people desperately pouring water into their stomachs, this scene made others look at each other in bewilderment.
“How is it, is it effective after drinking it?”
Other timid people asked in a low voice.
“What does it feel like? In addition to bloating, it can also…”
Before the man finished speaking, he felt his stomach churning, “Quickly give me a trash can, I want to… vomit.”
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly found a trash can.
Seeing the man’s painful expression, everyone backed off.
This is a typical way of asking for trouble.
Will it work?
However, after the man vomited, he suddenly showed a look of astonishment.
“Huh?”
“My stomach doesn’t hurt that much anymore, and the cramping feeling is much lighter.”
The man who originally had a painful expression suddenly became a little more energetic.
Even speaking, he had the strength to do it.
“Is it true? It works so well?”
“What did the doctor put in the water tank? It worked so quickly.”
Everyone present was surprised when they saw this scene.
You know, it took only a few minutes for the man’s discomfort to be relieved little by little.
“It works so well. When I first got sick, I went to the clinic to find a lot of medicine but it didn’t work. I didn’t expect that after drinking a few buckets of water, the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach suddenly got much better.”
The man’s words immediately made other people who didn’t dare to try it become eager to try.
