Just after returning home from dinner, Tao Le received a call from Xie Baoshu.
A collective food poisoning occurred in Pinghe District Experimental Primary School. Because of the large number of patients, qualified hospitals across the city responded urgently and activated emergency plans.
Tao Le rushed into the first hospital. The emergency room was already overcrowded. All the doctors, led by the deputy director of the Department of Pediatrics Ampei, returned and joined in treating the patients.
Xie Baoshu saw Tao Le at a glance, pulled her aside and briefly introduced the situation.
On the first day of school, the school lunch was very rich, including four dishes, one soup, and watermelon.
The teachers and students were quite satisfied with the meal at that time, but in the evening they suffered from varying degrees of poisoning reactions.
"Most of the patients suffered from nausea and vomiting, plus dizziness and diarrhea." Xie Baoshu said: "Now the cause of the poisoning is basically determined, which is that the green beans were not cooked."
French beans and other lentils contain toxins in the tips and side pods. If not removed or cooked, it can easily lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness and other adverse reactions.
He pointed to the girl he had just taken over and showed it to Tao Le: "You take care of this one first, and I'll contact you to add a few more beds. There are not enough hospital beds."
He left in a hurry without telling Tao Le how he would take care of her.
Originally, carob poisoning was relatively mild and most people did not need treatment. The symptoms would disappear on their own within one to two days.
The girl in front of her was about ten years old, with a pale complexion. She complained that she was severely nauseous and had vomited several times at home. She was also accompanied by dizziness and cold sweats - indeed very similar to the symptoms of carob poisoning she knew.
Tao Le gave the doctor's orders to replenish fluids and maintain electrolyte balance.
During the day, Xie Baoshu quickly applied for her permission to work at the hospital's workstation, so it was very convenient for Tao Le to operate at this time.
At this time, several more parents came in with their children one after another. Seeing that the doctors and nurses were extremely busy, Tao Le told the nurse at the bedside to strengthen monitoring, and turned around to take a look.
The girl's mother stopped her first: "Doctor, is my daughter okay?"
"Family members, don't worry. The people in this emergency room are all classmates from your school. Everyone was poisoned after eating beans, but the degree is mild or severe." Tao Le stopped to comfort her:
"Judging from your daughter's condition, it's not a big problem. As long as she doesn't deal with it, she can return to normal in a day or two. Now that she's given fluids, she should be able to improve soon."
"These beans are really harmful." The mother said with anger: "I am a member of the Family Committee, and today I went to the kitchen with several other parents to watch."
"As soon as I saw the beans, I told the chef that they must pinch off the two tips and pod strings, cut them into thin strips, and fry them for as long as possible to avoid poisoning. Unexpectedly, it ended up harming the child. "
After hearing this, Tao Le's heart suddenly moved.
Logically speaking, if the beans are pinched at both ends and the pod strings are cleaned, cut into thin strips and fried for a long time, they will basically no longer be toxic. There is no reason why they would bring down such a large room of people, right?
There was a reason why she hadn't opened the golden finger just now.
One is the verbal hint from Xie Baoshu. He said that "the cause of the poisoning has been basically determined," which naturally refers to the consensus reached by senior doctors from both the emergency department and the pediatric department. This made Tao Le instinctively trust and value him;
The second reason was that she had seen similar symptoms in her previous life, and the symptoms were basically the same as those of the patient in front of her.
When authority and experience pointed in the same direction, she naturally felt that there was no need to open the golden finger.
The hospital has its own set of diagnosis and treatment methods. Since she chose to enter, she naturally had to learn and follow them.
But now that there are doubts, Tao Le no longer insists, but immediately opens the golden finger.
The words that fell into her eyes made her heart sink.
Sure enough, it was not the beans that were the problem, but a more serious form of food poisoning.
The background of the interface is orange, which means the condition is serious but not life-threatening yet.
Age: 9 years old. Health value: 65.
Cause: Poisoning (tiny amounts of lethal amanita) 95%, refractive error 5%
Heart rate 120 st-t change
Most poisonous mushrooms are brightly colored to warn people accordingly. But this does not include the White Poison Amanita.
Amanita fatala, also known as Amanita fatala, is a small white mushroom that looks very harmless. White umbrella, white stem, looks no different from ordinary edible fungi, except for its toxicity.
As one of the top ten poisonous mushrooms in the world, there are cases of death caused by accidentally eating it every summer and autumn. It can cause liver, kidney, heart and other organ dysfunction or even failure, with a very high fatality rate.
The most important thing is that the performance of this white poisonous umbrella after consumption is as hidden as its appearance: after taking it for eight to ten hours, it will cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and diarrhea, which is no different from ordinary gastroenteritis.
What's more, the patient's symptoms will be significantly relieved the next day, which gives many people the illusion that gastroenteritis has entered the recovery period - in fact, it is just the opposite.
The toxins have already entered the organs at this time. Within forty-eight hours, the patient will experience a sharp increase in transaminases, a sharp decline in coagulation function, and then liver, kidney, and organ failure.
"Are there mushrooms in today's lunch?" Tao Le asked the mother eagerly.
"There are no mushrooms," she recalled doubtfully.
Could it be that this girl is a special case and is not the same as other children?
Tao Le used Golden Finger on the boy in the next bed, but there was no change in the result. He was also poisoned by a small amount of Amanita.
This is strange. If you didn’t eat it at school, there’s no reason for everyone to be poisoned together!
"Wait a minute, I remembered, that last egg soup, the chef finally poured a small bowl of white cubes into it, yes, it should be chopped mushrooms!"
No wonder it was trace poisoning. It turned out to be poisonous mushroom soup.
But judging from the toxicity of this white poisonous umbrella, even if it is a trace amount, its effect on children cannot be underestimated!
Tao Le jumped up like a spring, searching the hall for Xie Baoshu.
She didn't see Xie Baoshu, but she was caught by Deputy Director An.
"Xiao Tao? What's the matter with you? Why are you running around here instead of taking care of the patients?" Abe said dissatisfied.
The cause of the food poisoning this time is very clear, but the scale is too large and has attracted widespread attention from the society, so he is discussing with Director Yuan of the emergency department to issue relevant announcements as soon as possible to reassure the people.
Before the results were announced, I saw Tao Le walking around in the emergency room, looking around, refusing to take care of the patients with peace of mind.
"Director An, I'm looking for Dr. Xie. I have made an important discovery about the cause of this collective food poisoning..."
