Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Xia asked a few more questions:
"Don't be afraid, I'm a doctor in this hospital. Are you feeling unwell or have no money to go home? Tell me, I can help you."
The security guard, Master Wang, took a look from afar and curled his lips in disbelief. In his opinion, there were so many poor people in the world, could they all be saved?
Perhaps because she saw Chen Xia's sincerity, the little girl forced a smile and said, "I, I'm fine..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, a very unpleasant and unique smell of stinky garlic hit her nose. Chen Xia was suddenly shocked: "Damn, this girl drank pesticides."
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so depressed at such a young age? Don't move, hold on, I'll take you to the emergency room."
After saying that, Chen Xia no longer felt disgusted by the dirtiness. He quickly picked up the girl and ran to the emergency department.
The little girl said weakly: "I, I have no money, no, no need to save, anymore..."
A thousand alpaca horses raced through Chen Xia's mind. A few hours ago, a man who had eaten fake rat poison arrived, and while he needed no emergency treatment, he was saved for ages. Now, a man lying outside the hospital, who had drunk real pesticide, was being treated but refused.
People these days are really crazy. Why do they like drinking pesticides so much? Is it delicious? Is it milk tea?
The emergency department saw Chen Xia rushing in in the middle of the night, holding a girl in his arms. Curious, they gathered around to see what was happening. It was already midnight, and there were very few patients, so even the doctors hadn't come.
Bang!
Chen Xia finally kicked open the door of the emergency room, and tomorrow the General Affairs Department would have work to do.
"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! This is a patient I found at the hospital entrance. He drank pesticide. Wash his stomach immediately and prepare medicine."
Mo Yongfang and Wang Jinfa were on duty in the second half of the night. When they heard that there was an emergency patient, they ran over as fast as they could. The young nurse had already skillfully prepared the bed and opened the intravenous access.
As Mo Yongfang helped the patient lie down, he asked, "Mr. Chen, what's going on?"
"I have no idea what happened. The patient was lying in front of the hospital. I saw him when I got off work and smelled the pesticide, so I brought him over. I have no idea what pesticide he drank, how long he drank it, or the exact amount."
At this time, the nurse began to report vital signs: "The patient's heart rate is 86 beats/minute, respiratory rate is 35 breaths/minute, and blood pressure is 100/70 mmHg."
Wang Jinfa also underwent an urgent physical examination:
"Mr. Chen, the patient is unconscious, but still responds to various stimuli. Except for the slightly moist underarms, the rest of the skin is dry and sweat-free.
The pupils were equal in size and round, 0.3 cm in diameter, and had a sluggish light reflex. The lips were not cyanotic, and a garlicky odor was detectable. The neck was soft. Coarse breath sounds were heard bilaterally, with a few moist rales. The heart rate was 86, regular, and without murmurs. No obvious fasciculations were observed, and no pathological signs were elicited.
but……"
There was no need to wait for Wang Jinfa to report, as everyone had already seen with their own eyes that the little girl's entire body was covered in bruises and purples, obvious signs of having been beaten.
This made the doctors and nurses furious. This was just a half-grown child. Who could be so cruel? Is she even human? No wonder she wanted to commit suicide by drinking pesticide. She must have suffered some inhumane treatment.
If this happened in the future, people would definitely take out their phones and call 110 immediately.
Just as everyone was busy with the rescue, Mr. Jiang, who was watching the excitement in the crowd and was also cleaning the emergency department, suddenly walked over and took a look.
"Hey, isn't this Jiang Xiaoju, the girl from our village? Alas, she finally took this path. I said she would definitely not survive."
When everyone heard this, they realized that there was something behind the words. Even the rescuers stopped what they were doing, wanting to hear what gossip was about to happen next.
Chen Xia slapped Mo Yongfang and Wang Jinfa on the back of their heads and said, "Don't be absent-minded. Hurry and rescue them."
The rescue process for people who have ingested pesticides is actually not complicated. It is nothing more than gastric lavage, atropine, and pralidoxime iodide treatment.
The method of gastric lavage at this time was different. Water could not be poured in, and the patient was already semi-conscious, so Chen Xia prepared a long gastric tube, applied a little lubricant and inserted it directly into the stomach.
Then Wang Jinfa stood on a chair and used a funnel to continuously pour warm water into the tube, using the pressure difference to send the warm water into the stomach.
Once the stomach is full of water, lower the tube into the large wooden barrel on the ground, and use the pressure difference to allow the warm water to flow out of the stomach.
Repeated gastric lavage is performed in this way, combined with continuous large doses of atropine and pralidoxime.
Although the process is not complicated, it is needless to say that the patient feels extremely uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that the doctor has to tie the patient's hands and feet to prevent him from struggling.
While the doctors and nurses were trying to save the patient, Old Man Jiang was telling everyone about Jiang Xiaoju's tragic life story.
"Speaking of this, it's really heartbreaking. She's from Donghu Commune outside Wuyunmen. She's only 17 years old this year. Don't look at her young age, she's already been married twice."
Chen Xia couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my god! She's only 17 and already married for the second time? How old was she when she got married the first time?"
Even the young nurses covered their mouths and screamed. You know, they were in their 20s and still unmarried.
The crowd watching nearby also laughed loudly. It was not news in the 1970s and 1980s for a rural girl to get married early, but it was definitely not normal for her to have been married to two men at the age of 17.
A young man asked anxiously, "Why did she get married twice at such a young age?"
Old Man Jiang looked at Jiang Xiaoju who was lying on the hospital bed and undergoing gastric lavage, and continued to tell this tragic story with sighs.
"She got married for the first time when she was 15. She was sold by her mother. Her family accepted a 500 yuan betrothal gift and married her off to a family in a neighboring village. They said she wouldn't have to support her parents after she got married, so they accepted such a large sum of money."
Everyone gasped when they heard this. At that time, the general betrothal gift in rural areas was only about 200 yuan, and 500 yuan was a sky-high price to marry a rural girl.
"It's mainly because her mother is too greedy. She doesn't treat her like a human being at home. She makes her work every day and doesn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. After she finally turned 15, to put it bluntly, she didn't even grow up, and she married a second-rate guy.
Originally, it was a good thing to find a good family after getting married and not have to suffer from her own mother. However, this girl had a miserable life. The man she married had a bad temper. He was either fighting or gambling outside all day long. When he was in a bad mood, he would beat his wife when he got home.
This girl has never had a good day. She has to do farm work during the day and wash clothes and cook at night. She is often beaten in the middle of the night and cries for her parents, but no one answers her calls.
Someone couldn't help but interrupt: "You're beating people up like this, and neither the brigade nor the mother's family is here to intervene?"
"What the hell? Her family took the money and cut off all contact. The brigade went to talk to her a few times, but it was no use. Her first husband was a scoundrel who didn't listen to anyone."
Everyone present felt angry.
