Chapter 146: Chapter 108: Escaping Death, Qin Feng Battles the Underachievers Alone

Sleeping pills are sedative medications that can suppress the cerebral cortex and central nervous system.

Generally, reasonable use of sleeping pills by those with sleep disorders is beneficial for improving sleep quality and treating insomnia symptoms.

However, overdosing can result in amnesia as a side effect, and in severe cases, it can lead to death.

Benzodiazepine sedative-hypnotics are the most commonly used sedatives, hypnotics, and anti-anxiety medications in clinical settings.

Market-available sleeping pills are usually controlled for safe dosage, so a normal person taking one or a few would at most experience severe drowsiness or mild poisoning.

But if someone were to consume more than 30 pills in one go and it isn’t discovered in time, they could fall into a deeply critical state.

That’s extremely dangerous!

In general cases, overdosing on sleeping pills can cause various reactions.

The respiratory and circulatory systems may fail, leading to difficulty breathing, cyanosis, rapid drop in blood pressure, and an accelerated heart rate.

Second, the nervous system is attacked, potentially causing coma, convulsions, pupil dilation, and loss of light reflex.

Finally, there’s the toxicity reaction, with full-body muscle relaxation, loss of nerve response, irregular pupil dilation and constriction, and signs of life-threatening conditions.

"Prepare for gastric lavage."

Zhou Xianren quickly said, then simultaneously started the examination with Qin Feng.

Breathing is weak but normal;

Pupils have a clear light reaction, just slightly sluggish;

No muscle relaxation symptoms in the body, and nerve reactions are intact.

???

"How long has it been since the patient ingested the sleeping pills?"

Qin Feng quickly asked.

"Based on the account from her classmates, the patient left around 10:30, so it’s estimated to be nearly two hours ago."

"Two hours? That can’t be right!"

Both Qin Feng and Zhou Xianren froze upon hearing this, exchanged a puzzled look.

Is it still not working?

In two hours, with such a large dose.

If it were a normal person, they would definitely have fallen into moderate or even severe poisoning, completely losing consciousness.

Yet this girl’s reactions are all relatively normal.

Tolerance?

Or something else?

There’s no time to worry about that now, treatment comes first.

For cases of sleeping pill ingestion, the approach is actually quite simple: excretion + gastric lavage.

If the sedative components of the sleeping pill enter the bloodstream, it becomes a bit tricky and requires hemodialysis, draining the body’s blood for filtering and detoxification before returning it.

Excretion involves diuresis and replenishing with large amounts of saline and glucose, aided by diuretics to maximize filtration.

As for gastric lavage, that’s even simpler.

Thus, the girl began with blood tests, liquid replenishment, and diuresis.

Meanwhile, gastric lavage is performed...

In this situation, there’s no need to wait for the lab tests and examination results; they should first flush out the residual drugs from the stomach to prevent further damage.

Very soon, some undigested pills from the girl’s stomach were flushed out, visible as distinctly turbid white particles.

"Hmm? Director Zhou, there’s something off about these pills~"

Qin Feng noticed the sediment of white particles, a curious expression appearing on his face.

"What’s the matter?"

Zhou Xianren, still dealing with the aftermath, didn’t pay much attention at first.

Only when he heard this, did he lift his eyes, instantly startled.

"Huh? Where did these sediments come from?"

"Wait for the test results."

Qin Feng glanced at the strange-smelling, discolored wastewater, then at the girl on the bed, pondering deeply.

He had an inkling of what this substance was!

How could a student have access to dozens of sleeping pills?

The pharmacy outside would certainly be impossible; sleeping pills are prescription medications, requiring a doctor’s authorization and personal ID for purchase.

And such a large quantity at once, especially for a student, would surely raise suspicions.

So it definitely wasn’t bought from a pharmacy.

If physical stores were out of the question, that leaves only the internet.

Considering the state of the sleeping pill sediment and the patient’s relatively stable vitals at the moment.

She might have bought fake drugs.....

Half an hour later, a young nurse from the lab department rushed into the emergency room with blood and urine test results, personally bringing in the report.

"Director Zhou, Director Qin, the test results are out, the patient has mild benzodiazepine poisoning, the situation is relatively stable."

As the nurse finished speaking, everyone was taken aback.

What’s going on? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Mild poisoning?

This was over thirty sleeping pills!

"The patient likely bought fake medication, with the central nervous system suppressant components far below the dosage of real sleeping pills, resulting in this situation."

Qin Feng, with a knowing smile, took the test report and said.

"Yes, that’s likely the case."

Zhou Xianren realized as well, nodding in agreement, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was fake, because if it were real, even if her life could be saved after two hours, it would certainly cause some irreversible neural damage.

Tomorrow is the college entrance exam!

Soon,

The school teacher arrived, along with the patient’s phone, and made contact with her parents.

The girl was sent to a ward to rest, given some IV fluids to expedite the elimination of sedative components from her body, and should awaken by evening.

Just as Qin Feng was about to leave, the girl’s phone suddenly rang.

The female teacher who had arrived answered it outside, while the girl’s parents hadn’t reached yet.

Qin Feng glanced around, then walked over, picking up the constantly vibrating phone by the bed, where the caller ID displayed just two words.

’Devil!’

Seeing the name, he immediately calmed down, glancing at the girl on the bed.

Qin Feng realized this could be the real culprit!
