Yu Changming's condition was getting worse and worse. Yang Qingwen and Tan Wende were worried and often took turns to visit him.
There's no point just looking at it, they still can't figure out how to detoxify it.
Tian Cai was wearing the white coat that the nurse had just handed to her. She stood in front of the bed with a serious expression, looking through the latest test results handed to her by Yang Qingwen.
Yu Changming's heartbeat was very weak. If it weren't for an instrument to detect it, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to feel it even if I put my ear close to it.
And this unusually low temperature.
Tian Cai went forward to check Yu Changming's breathing and pulse, turned up his eyelids and pressed on his body a few times.
After pressing, the skin will be slightly concave. When you lift your finger, a shallow pit will appear on the skin surface. The bottom of the pit is blue and will not rebound quickly. It will take a while for the blue to slowly fade away and the skin will return to its original state.
She tried it repeatedly on different parts of her body and found that this phenomenon only occurred on her chest and waist, but not in other places.
Tian Cai lifted Yu Changming's arm and bent it several times. He found that his joints were stiff and it took a lot of effort to bend them.
Tian Cai had never seen this disease, nor had he even heard of it.
"...Now we can confirm that the toxin contains the ingredients of aconite and ricinus. We have no idea about the rest. Xiaotian, do you think we can still save him?" Yang Qingwen suddenly said.
These words sounded a bit sad, mixed with self-blame, self-blame for not being able to save such a young life.
Over the years, he had witnessed countless births, old age, sickness, and death, especially in the field hospital. There were young and vibrant lives the day before, smiling and waving before departure, but lying there silently the next day. Some even collapsed on the battlefield and were never seen again.
Yang Qingwen tried his best to save everyone. He saved countless lives in his life, but he still felt sad when facing the departure of every young life.
They are all fathers and sons. In order to maintain a peaceful life for their families, they resolutely set foot on this strange land, shed their blood, and eventually buried their bones in a foreign land.
He didn't want to give up on any patient until the last moment.
Yu Changming's situation is becoming more and more dangerous, and he has no other choice now.
He even began to think about handing the person over to Tan Wei. Although his prescription still had flaws, what if?
What if it succeeds?
Can this young life be saved?
But every time he had this idea, Tan Wei's attitude reminded him that this man was cold-hearted and paranoid. He only cared about the results of his own experiments and didn't care about the life or death of his patients at all.
Tian Cai did not answer Yang Qingwen's question. He looked at the lifeless person on the hospital bed and fell into silence.
This time, Tian Cai did not choose to live in the hospital dormitory, but asked Commander Deng to allocate a tent for her separately. Before coming, she also brought two medical books. When she studied the parts related to poisonous weeds before, she had only read and memorized them, and did not study them in depth. Now she had to look them up again and try to understand them thoroughly.
According to the results of her examination of Yu Changming just now, he can only last for ten days at most. She must find a way to relieve his symptoms within this period of time. Even if she cannot cure him all at once, she must extend this time.
Even though she has dew, she still has to find the right herbs first, and then add dew to increase the efficacy of the medicine and minimize the side effects.
According to past experience, drinking dew directly in this situation is useless.
Tian Cai flipped through the medical book for a while and couldn't help but let her thoughts wander. She stood up and yawned, then took a basin of cold water to wash her face. She tried to make herself more alert, then picked up the medical book and continued studying.
After several days of research, she still had no idea about detoxification, but she did manage to figure out a set of acupuncture techniques. Yang Qingwen and Tan Wende thought it was too bold, so after some research, they changed the depth of several acupuncture points used by Tian Cai to make it slightly more conservative.
This acupuncture method is used to suppress the toxin. Now there is no antidote, so we can only suppress the toxin temporarily to prevent it from spreading further.
Yu Changming's organs had already begun to decay. If the poison was allowed to continue to develop, even if it was finally detoxified one day, he would not be able to survive for long with such internal organs.
So Tian Cai went to the ward and gave Yu Changming an injection that day.
Yang Qingwen and Tan Wende were watching nearby, and they could help if there were any emergencies.
When the time was up and all the needles were removed, the person on the bed still showed no reaction.
Tian Cai was not without frustration in her heart. This was a difficult problem that she had rarely encountered in her medical practice. The spirit of not admitting defeat came up in her and she did not believe that she could not overcome it.
After discussion, Tian, Cai and the other two made several changes to the acupuncture technique, changing the originally safe acupuncture method back to the original bold one.
After another acupuncture treatment, the instrument that had been attached to Yu Changming finally showed changes, and his heartbeat became slightly stronger than before.
“It works, it really works!”
Yang Qingwen shouted excitedly after seeing the numbers on the screen.
Tan Wende also smiled with satisfaction and looked at Tian Cai with admiration. This girl is really good. She acts boldly but methodically, cautiously and not recklessly. She is a good candidate for studying medicine. No wonder Yang Qingwen praised her so much.
After taking the pulse, Tian Cai confirmed that the acupuncture was effective. He exhaled, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself, this is a small progress.
Seeing the happy faces of the others, Tan Wei couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on them. "So what if it works? It'll just delay death by a few days, but it's still death!"
The smiles on the corners of several people's mouths froze, and Tan Wende even wanted to sew his mouth shut. He regretted again in his heart why he brought the second brother here.
Tian Cai ignored the man's cold words and continued to study detoxification after confirming that the acupuncture method was effective. She had already analyzed the components of the toxins extracted from Yu Changming's blood. In addition to the aconite and castor oil plants that Yang Qingwen and others knew, Tian Cai also found poisonous mushrooms. However, there are hundreds of species of poisonous mushrooms, and she doesn't know which one to use yet.
However, Tian Cai was not without a target. According to the results of her experiments, it should be a poisonous mushroom containing muscaria.
Muscarine is a neurotoxin. Mild symptoms include fever, salivation, slow heartbeat, low blood pressure, and rapid breathing, while severe symptoms include convulsions, coma, or stupor. If left untreated, the patient will eventually die from respiratory depression.
This matches many of Yu Changming's symptoms.
In addition to these three types, there was another one that she couldn't detect no matter what, which made Tian Cai very confused.
It seems that we must hurry up and remove the poison quickly, otherwise no matter how many injections we receive, it will not solve the problem.
While Tian Cai was working overtime to study the toxins in Yu Changming's body, Wang Baolong, who was far away in Huang County, was also taken out of the Public Security Bureau by his father.
