Chapter 264: New Type of Poison
Although Lu Shan and several other doctors deduced from the test results that the patient had drug poisoning in his body, they dared not draw a conclusion.
At this point, after reviewing the test results and taking the patient's pulse, Bai Zhi even revealed the name of the drug or poison injected into the patient's body.
This further confirms that their recommendation was correct.
I was also very fortunate that Bai Zhi was at the military hospital.
Because of her arrival, these victims were saved.
"Dr. Bai, what's the next step in the treatment? We'll follow your instructions."
The head of orthopedic surgery was a middle-aged man in his fifties, surnamed Guo.
Lu Ye's last surgery was also performed by him and Lu Shan together.
At that time, Lu Ye was staying in their orthopedic surgery department. His condition was critical, and as the department director, he was under more pressure than anyone else.
Bai Zhi saved Lu Ye, and to a large extent, also saved his title of director.
Although he didn't have much contact with this young female doctor, he had complete trust in her medical skills.
After all, she was taught by a master.
How could an old Chinese medicine doctor who is known as a miracle doctor in the martial arts world not have some real skills?
Ordinary people don't lie.
He only came over to talk to Bai Zhi after she finished diagnosing the patient.
Bai Zhi said,
"Director Guo, for now, we can only control this comrade's condition. We'll wait for her incision to heal for a few more days before we start systematic treatment."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Director Guo nodded, "Okay, Dr. Lu will be in charge of this patient. You can communicate more. I'm in charge of our orthopedic surgery department. I trust your medical skills, so you don't need to hold back and can focus on the treatment."
This can be considered Director Guo's promise to Bai Zhi, and also a reassurance.
I hope she can give it her all.
"Furthermore, this comrade has a special status, and her situation should not be disclosed to outsiders."
Bai Zhi replied, "Understood."
"Dr. Lu, there are some things to attend to with our research team. I'll head over there first. Once this person wakes up, just have someone call me, and I'll come over to diagnose him."
"good."
When Bai Zhi returned to the lab, Shen Qian was still testing the physiological indicators of the rats.
Director Zhou and his team were also there. Director Zhou repeated his previous explanation: "Dr. Bai, perhaps the physiological structure between humans and animals is different, causing a deviation in the timing of acupuncture."
"impossible."
Bai Zhi did not agree with Director Zhou's explanation.
In her past life, how many cadavers did she perform?
From mice to rats, then to rabbits, pigs...
For several years, she and her grandfather stayed in the laboratory, conducting experiments one needle at a time, and finally developed a complete treatment plan.
If this rat hadn't been tampered with, it wouldn't have survived less than eight hours before the problem occurred.
"Xiao Bai, we're acquaintances now, let's just let this matter drop, listen to me."
Bai Zhi smiled faintly at Director Zhou's pleading look, "Director Zhou, why are you so nervous? I didn't suspect you."
"Dr. Xiaobai....."
Director Zhou was about to say something when Bai Zhi interrupted him, "Director Zhou, this is my first day here, and someone is trying to give me a hard time. I'll take it."
This is a military hospital. These so-called experts were all rigorously selected by the hospital, and at first she completely trusted them.
Unexpectedly, such a thing happened as soon as she arrived.
She understood that some experts and bigwigs were unwilling to let a young girl like her break the reputation and status they had accumulated over the years.
In the past, when they couldn't treat patients who had been poisoned by drugs, they could explain it as a limitation of medical conditions, or as a lack of exposure to those complex hallucinogenic drugs.
In short, it's all due to objective reasons.
Until her arrival, the existing balance was disrupted.
The problems that she, a young TCM doctor, could solve, are problems that these experts cannot solve.
There wasn't even a glimmer of hope.
The pressure from their superiors and the public opinion made them very uneasy.
Bai Zhi will not give up the pursuit just because of Director Zhou's advice.
This matter quickly alarmed Vice President Li.
After hearing the whole story, Vice President Li's expression turned serious. He asked Bai Zhi for confirmation, "Dr. Bai, are you sure it was caused by human error?"
"Sure."
Bai Zhi said, "Vice Dean Li, this matter is actually easy to investigate. The doctor in our hospital has information about hallucinogenic drugs and has free access to the laboratory. Everything will be clear then."
In those days, hospitals didn't have cameras, so this was the only way to investigate.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, everyone's gaze turned to Deputy Director Chen.
"The rats were given the medication by Deputy Director Chen this morning."
Faced with everyone's gaze, Deputy Director Chen was at a loss, his eyes filled with confusion. "You don't suspect me, do you?"
"I was injected with medication by a rat this morning. It was Dr. Wang who asked me to help him. Didn't he injure his hand yesterday?"
"What about the remaining medication?" Vice Dean Li asked.
Deputy Director Chen looked completely innocent. "I put it back in the lab."
Looking at the various authoritative doctors present, Vice President Li said, "Dr. Xiao Bai, leave this matter to me to investigate. I will give everyone a satisfactory answer."
Vice President Li offered a few words of comfort to Bai Zhi before leaving.
Deputy Director Chen was also summoned for a talk.
Meanwhile, Lu Shan called to say that the patient had regained consciousness and asked Bai Zhi to come over.
"Dr. Shen, please continue to observe the rats' condition, and make sure no one else gets close."
She didn't speak to Director Zhou and the others, but walked straight past them and went to the orthopedic ward.
The woman on the hospital bed was pale, her lips were bloodless, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.
Bai Zhi noticed her mental state and her expression turned serious.
She checked his pulse again.
Her symptoms were exactly those of DF poisoning.
Although this drug does not cause madness like other drugs, it devours a person's mind, damaging the victim's brain nerves, making them dull, causing memory loss, and eventually driving them insane.
"Dr. Bai, do you need acupuncture now?" Director Guo asked.
Bai Zhi said, "No rush."
Not all patients can be treated with acupuncture.
"Hello."
Bai Zhi greeted the person in the hospital bed.
"Hello." The woman struggled to lift her eyelids and spoke in a mechanical voice.
Bai Zhi said gently, "The surgery was very successful. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell us."
"I feel fine," the woman on the hospital bed said weakly. "I'm sorry for troubling you all."
Her words brought tears to the eyes of everyone present.
She was rescued from the front lines after narrowly escaping death, yet she still apologized to the doctors.
This made Bai Zhi and Lu Shan feel even worse.
"This is our duty."
Bai Zhi looked at the woman on the hospital bed and felt she looked more and more familiar.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
Perhaps it was one of the patients she treated in her past life.
But she couldn't remember it for the time being.
