Chen Tianlin came to the emergency department quickly. The moment he just walked into the emergency department hall, a noisy quarrel came from the nurses' station. Chen Tianlin couldn't help but frown slightly. He saw

A nurse pushed a tool cart toward him and asked, "Ms. Nurse! What happened?"

Chen Tianlin didn't know the nurse standing in front of him, but the nurse knew him. When the nurse heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, she immediately introduced him: "Director Chen! Our emergency department received a patient early this morning. The patient sent him

Sometimes, symptoms such as numbness of the upper lip, weakness in the limbs, nausea, vomiting, and unsteady gait may occur.”

"Dr. Zhou, who was on duty, found that the patient's vomitus was mixed with seafood residue, so he extracted the patient's vomitus for testing, and finally diagnosed it as food poisoning. He gave the patient medicine according to the treatment method of food poisoning. The result was this morning

At around six o'clock, the patient actually developed symptoms of difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and confusion. The patient's family thought there was something wrong with the medicine we gave the patient, so they found a large group of people and started making trouble."

When Chen Tianlin heard the nurse's introduction, he finally understood that Director Ye called him not because of the discovery of an unknown virus, but because he asked him to be a firefighter. He understood the reason why Director Ye asked him to come over. Chen Tianlin said to the station

The nurse in front of me asked: "Ms. Nurse! Which ward is that patient in?"

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

When Chen Tianlin heard the nurse's introduction, he smiled and said thank you to the nurse, and then walked towards the observation room.

Chen Tianlin quickly arrived at the door of the observation room. He saw Director Ye through the glass window who was examining the patient. Then he opened the door of the observation room and asked Director Ye with a serious face: "Director Ye! What's going on?

How are you doing?"

Director Ye heard Chen Tianlin's inquiry, thought of the patient's illness, and frowned and said: "Xiao Chen! You are here! Come and see this patient quickly."

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

body scan.

"Master! The patient's body contains neurotoxins. To be precise, one comes from the toxins in puffer fish." While Chen Tianlin was scanning the patient's body, he suddenly received a message in his brain.

Information delivered by medical assistance systems.

Chen Tianlin was very surprised to receive the information transmitted by the Tao Medical Assistance System, and at the same time he was very puzzled, because tetrodotoxin is a strong neurotoxin, equivalent to 1250 times the highly toxic drug sodium cyanide, and only 0.48 mg can cause death.

People are dying. If the patient was poisoned by eating pufferfish, it would be impossible for him to survive until now?

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 food poisoning was completely correct. Judging from the patient's clinical reaction,

, I suspect it should be a neurotoxin, right! After the patient was sent to the hospital yesterday, he vomited a lot of things, mixed with some seafood residue, I wonder if this is the case? "

Dr. Zhou, who was standing next to Director Ye, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Chen Tianlin agreed with his diagnosis, and quickly replied: "Director Chen! You are right! There is indeed ginseng in the patient's vomitus.

Mixed with a lot of seafood residue, including shrimp, fish, and snail meat!”

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

Hearing Chen Tianlin mention wheat snail meat, the doctors in the observation room suddenly felt enlightened. Director Ye was even more delighted and confirmed to Chen Tianlin: "Xiao Chen! What you mean is that the patient has taken stale or stale food.

Is it poisonous wheat snails that ultimately lead to food poisoning?”

After confirming that the patient had used wheat snail meat, Chen Tianlin finally solved the mystery in his heart and replied with a smile: "Director Ye! I heard that when the patient was just sent to the hospital, he had numbness in his upper lip, weakness in his limbs, nausea, and vomiting.

Symptoms such as unsteady gait are obviously a reaction to neurotoxins."

"Among the many seafoods in Jiangcheng, only puffer fish contains neurotoxins. However, the neurotoxins in puffer fish are very strong. Once poisoned, they cannot survive for five minutes. This patient has persisted from early this morning until now. It is obvious that he is not using puffer fish.

caused by.”

"This judgment made me very puzzled. It wasn't until Dr. Zhou said just now that there was snail meat in the food residue vomited by the patient that the mystery in my mind was completely solved. Wheat snails eat algae as their main food. Different seasons cause

Some algae are poisonous and some are non-toxic. Wheat snails use poisonous algae, which causes the internal organs to produce toxins similar to tetrodotoxin. This toxin is usually heat-resistant and difficult to be destroyed by normal cooking temperatures. The patient must have used toxic algae.

Wheat snails, thus causing food poisoning."

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

.”

Dr. Zhou thought of the situation when the patient was brought in yesterday, which made him regret that he did not learn more about the food that the patient ate when eating, otherwise it would not have caused the current situation. He heard Director Ye's instructions and nodded quickly.

, replied: "Director! I will perform gastric lavage on the patient now."

After determining the cause of the patient's poisoning, the rest of the matter had little to do with Chen Tianlin. 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. He frowned slightly, walked forward quickly, and expressed his emotions loudly.

The excited family members of the patients shouted: "You should stop making trouble. The patient's condition has been confirmed. He was poisoned by eating poisonous wheat snails. Now our doctors are preparing to perform gastric lavage on the patient."

When a young woman heard Chen Tianlin's cry, she immediately walked up to Chen Tianlin and confirmed to Chen Tianlin with a puzzled look on her face: "Doctor! Is what you said true? Is my husband really poisoned by eating wheat snails?"
