When the Doctor Uses A Hack
Chapter 1215 - 1219: Suffering for the Sake of Saving Face

The woman was truly angry!

She had been enduring it all along!

She had been considering his pride!

She seldom had disputes and confrontations with him in front of his friends.

She knew this man valued his face.

Some things could be tolerated, but some things really couldn't!

And her child was her final line in the sand.

If anything were to happen to her child, she would no longer hold back.

Thus, the woman exploded.

"Do you think you're so impressive? These friends? What kind of people are they!"

"If you didn't buy them drinks all day long, would they stick around with you?"

"Have you lost sight of who you are with all their flattery?"

Before the woman could finish speaking, she was met with a slap to the face from the man!

"Slap!"

The sound of the slap was crisp and clear, shocking everyone present, even the junior nurse at the nurse station was ready to call the police.

Meanwhile, the man's friends began to leave one after another.

The woman, on the other hand, simply lowered her head and let out a cold chuckle, the blood at the corner of her mouth telling everyone that the slap was indeed hard, swelling up half of her face.

She didn't say a word, just took her sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth before sitting down on a chair.

Not a single tear in her eyes.

Her tears were shed only for her child.

He looked at the woman, yelling loudly: "Can't you give me some face?"

The woman looked at him coldly: "Can you give me back my child?"

The scene suddenly became tense.

The duty pediatrician rushed over in a hurry, led by a nurse to the emergency room.

Upon entering, Chen Cang quickly said: "Director Yang, one child has already passed out, and another has had two seizures in a row."

"It's probably due to alcohol poisoning!"

After hearing these words, Director Yang immediately frowned.

At this moment, Cheng Yi, who was taking care of the unconscious child, suddenly said: "Dr. Chen, the child's blood pressure is dropping again!"

"The heart rate is increasing... he wet the bed!"

Hearing this, Chen Cang's face changed.

Although Chen Cang wasn't particularly proficient in pediatric diseases, the situations arising from alcohol poisoning were more or less the same.

Chen Cang quickly went over to check the child, noticing his pale complexion, cold and wet skin, slow breathing, and even snoring.

In the father's eyes just before, it might have only seemed like the child's behavior was indicative of being drunk.

But in fact... the child was in a very dangerous state!

The little boy's symptoms indicated that he was in the "comatose phase!"

This is the third stage of alcohol poisoning.

Alcohol poisoning typically has three stages.

The first stage is the excitation stage.

The second stage is ataxia.

The third stage is the comatose phase.

And the convulsions of the first child, along with the loud cries and flailing, are typical of the excitation stage.

However, it was already accompanied by seizures.

Both children were in critical condition.

Chen Cang actually had a lot of research on alcohol poisoning, including in children, but the reason for calling the duty pediatrician was to have assistance and prevention on hand during treatment.

Chen Cang asked Director Yang, "Director Yang, is it possible to perform gastric lavage?"

After carefully assessing the children's condition, Director Yang nodded and said: "Yes, we can proceed with the treatment plan for alcohol poisoning."

Chen Cang quickly nodded in agreement.

Chen Cang said to Xiao Ke, "Prepare for gastric lavage with 1% sodium bicarbonate solution, then follow up with concentrated tea and lemon juice through the gastric tube to further neutralize the residual alcohol!"

Xiao Ke quickly nodded and began to prepare for the procedure.

The conditions of the two children are both quite critical now.

After some thought, Chen Cang picked up the phone and dialed the dialysis room.

"Prepare for blood dialysis for two children with alcohol poisoning, get ready for the procedure."

After finishing his instructions, Chen Cang tore off two copies of critical condition notices and treatment consent forms and then walked out.

Both children are in very critical condition.

Because the children are too young.

They cannot withstand any rough handling.

Moreover, children are in the phase of growth and development, their liver development and metabolic functions are not fully mature, and their tolerance and ability to metabolize ethanol are almost negligible!

Even those alcoholic beverages of low concentration can easily accumulate in their bodies and cause poisoning, not to mention those high-proof spirits!

Moreover, never think that a small toast of alcohol is trivial.

As for Chen Cang, he has seen children who had epileptic seizures simply from licking chopsticks that had been dipped in alcohol.

Moreover, for children, alcohol can damage brain nerves, leading to a permanent decline in children's intelligence, and even the damage and impact on the brain are permanent and irreversible.

So, all these situations are very dangerous.

After Chen Cang came out, he noticed that the crowd of five or six people from before had now dwindled to just the couple.

Chen Cang approached the woman and said, "Hello, both children are in a very critical condition right now, one of them is suffering from severe alcohol poisoning, the other is also not in a light condition."

"Therefore, we cannot guarantee that the children will recover during the rescue and treatment process. Here is a critical condition notice, we need your signatures."

Chen Cang's words collapsed the woman's last line of psychological defense.

She could keep a straight face even when being hit and bleeding heavily from a slap by the man.

But upon hearing the news of her children's danger, she broke down completely.

The woman seemed to have lost all her strength, sitting on the ground dazed, bursting into loud sobbing.

Her mouth gaping wide, tears streaming down endlessly, yet unable to make a sound for a long time.

This moment, the woman truly embodied what it meant to cry soundlessly.

The man turned around, grasped Chen Cang abruptly, snatched the critical condition notice from his hand, and tore it to pieces, throwing them on the ground.

He yelled out loud!

"Nonsense!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

"You quack, are you cursing me?"

"I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

The man grew more and more angry as he spoke, punching the wall repeatedly.

Chen Cang felt no sympathy for the man, even a certain disgust.

Caring about face, vain, hitting his wife, treating his own children like toys.

Is this what a mature man should be like?

Not at all, right?

With that thought, Chen Cang did not bother to argue with him.

He instructed a nurse to bring two more critical condition notices.

"If you don't sign, the children cannot be treated. Please sign quickly, there's still a chance."

Chen Cang bent down and looked at the woman who was sobbing soundlessly, feeling some sympathy for her.

Upon hearing Chen Cang's words, the woman's expression changed.

It seemed she heard a glimmer of hope.

She grabbed Chen Cang's arms with both hands, pleading, "Doctor, please save the children, please, do save them, they are not even three years old yet, it would be such a pity if anything happens..."

Chen Cang nodded, "Mhm, we will do our utmost."

The woman's hands were trembling as she took the pen, struggling to sign her name.

And the man beside her did not even glance at the scene, from start to finish.
