Chapter 1222: Success and failure are both due to Xiao He!
"Please, please, let me out! I'm hungry, I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"
Inside the operating room of the emergency department, Jiang San was lying on the operating table, struggling violently. The straps that bound him to the bed were pulled tight because of his madness, and were tightly tied around his arms and neck.
Lei Jin and Gong Pingwei were holding Jiang San on the left and right, sweating profusely.
A nurse said anxiously, "Doctor Lei, this patient is so thin, how can he still have so much strength...Should we go call the dean?"
"Let me out!!! I want to eat noodles!"
Jiang San's Adam's apple trembled violently, and his eyeballs were bloodshot, running around in his eye sockets like a spider scalded by boiling water.
This state, coupled with his crazy and violent struggle on the bed, made not only the young nurse, but even Lei Jin, who had been a soldier and had some strength, a little afraid!
Jiang San was a patient anyway. If he was a criminal or an enemy, Lei Jin would have thrown him over his shoulder without hesitation. But now he could only suppress the shock and anger in his heart, and pressed Jiang San's chest against the bed with Gong Pingwei, shouting, "Go, Xiaoshuang, go and call the dean! This man's condition is even worse after gastric lavage and vomiting, go quickly!"
"Yes!"
Head nurse Tong Xiaoshuang had been cleaning the gastric lavage equipment nearby. When she heard this, she ran away without hesitation!
"no need!"
At this moment, Li Xiangnan's voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Tong Xiaoshuang didn't stop and almost bumped into the other person. She stopped and looked, and saw that Li Xiangnan was holding a bowl of noodles with green chopped green onions in it, which were swaying with the soup on the noodles.
"Dean, why are you bringing noodles here?" Tong Xiaoshuang was stunned. She was completely dumbfounded!
Lei Jin looked up and shouted, "Dean, you're not really going to get him a bowl of noodles, are you?"
Li Xiangnan smiled and said, "I promised him!"
As he spoke, he led Wang Defa into the operating room, put the bowl on the bedside medical cabinet, put his hand on Jiang San's chest and shouted, "Jiang San, it's time to eat noodles!"
"Let me out, let me out, I want to eat noodles, I want to eat noodles..."
Jiang San propped himself up against the iron bars on both sides of the operating table with his hands, arched his waist, and straightened his chest to resist the pressure from the three men. He paid no attention to Li Xiangnan's words, as if he hadn't heard them, and was still trying to escape from the cage that controlled him.
Wang Defa also came over to help hold the man down, "No, he can't hear the outside world! He's gone crazy after going insane!"
This is the result of long-term exposure to opium, which causes atrophy of the brain's gray matter, especially the prefrontal cortex responsible for decision-making and self-control, which may be traumatized.
Jiang San began to experience visual and auditory hallucinations, and even his thinking patterns and reactions to the outside world became delayed and deviant.
Snapped!
Li Xiangnan slapped Jiang San in the face, causing him to fall onto the operating table like a leaf swaying from a branch in the wind.
"..."
The doctors and nurses around were all stunned!
I’m afraid only their dean, Li Xiangnan, would dare to lay hands on patients!
However, it was this sudden change that caused Jiang San, whose body was stimulated by external forces, to have a hint of clarity in his eyes. Perhaps he felt the burning pain on his cheek, and he even reached out to touch it. He raised his head to look at Li Xiangnan who was staring at him, and suddenly shrank his neck.
"Noodles! Your noodles, I promise you!"
Li Xiangnan reached out and handed over the blue bowl of noodles on the bedside table.
\"It's all mine! It's all my face! \"
Jiang San's pupils trembled, and he suddenly stretched out his right hand, grasped the bamboo chopsticks and stabbed them into the noodles fiercely. The tip of the chopsticks scraped against the porcelain bowl, making a teeth-grinding "squeaking" sound, and the splashing soup left dark spots on his faded work clothes.
Suddenly, a beast-like roar broke out from his throat, and his whole face slammed into the mouth of the bowl.
The noodles squirmed wildly along with the twitching neck, the cheeks bulged and collapsed, and the chewing muscles were stretched into the outline of iron blocks.
A few strands of hair stuck to his chin, which was covered in chili oil, and fluttered like jellyfish tentacles as he panted.
"Oh, my face, my face..."
In the steaming heat, Jiang San's facial features were twisted into strange arcs.
The corners of his mouth were stretched to his ears, revealing his yellow gums, and his nostrils flared as he took deep breaths, as if he wanted to inhale every grain of MSG into his lungs.
This scene made all the medical staff in the room look surprised and shocked, and at the same time, they were full of doubts in their hearts.
"Dean, you just asked us to wash his stomach, why did you bring him a bowl of noodles now?"
Tong Xiaoshuang asked doubtfully.
Everyone, including Lei Jin, turned to look at Li Xiangnan.
They were all doubtful indeed.
Just now, Li Xiangnan instructed them to perform gastric lavage on Jiang San, which means to empty the noodles in his stomach!
But now, it was Li Xiangnan who personally handed Jiang San a bowl of noodles.
This inconsistent behavior really makes everyone confused!
"Methadone was added to the noodles!" Li Xiangnan took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and placed it on the table.
“Methadone?”
Hearing this, Tong Xiaoshuang was stunned, and Gong Pingwei and Lei Jin, two experienced doctors, were also stunned.
"Dean, isn't methadone an opioid analgesic? Why is it given to Jiang San?" Lei Jin said whatever he wanted to say, mainly because he didn't quite understand.
"Because this medicine can relieve Jiang San's withdrawal reaction from smoking opium!"
Li Xiangnan is of course familiar with the history of methadone.
This drug was produced in the late 20s and early 60s and was initially used mainly for pain relief. During this period, methadone was used in the medical field as a substitute for opioid analgesics.
In the early 90s, methadone was officially established as an important drug for detoxification treatment of opioid dependence in my country.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in giving Jiang San methadone!
Everyone suddenly realized that methadone actually had this effect!
But the problem comes right away!
"Dean, you just said... Jiang San, this Jiang San, he smoked opium?" Tong Xiaoshuang asked in surprise.
Gong Pingwei and the nurses around him turned their heads to look over. Lei Jin seemed to be thinking about something, and soon his eyes lit up.
Only Wang Defa knew the whole story, and at this moment, there was only pride and honor on his face.
"That's right! But this Jiang San is a passive addict! He loves noodles so much because he went to that noodle shop that used poppy seed oil and found that he felt uncomfortable all over if he didn't eat it for a few days! Then, he increased the frequency of going to the noodle shop until he couldn't leave it anymore..."
When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.
As I recalled how Jiang San had been clamoring for noodles, I felt the soles of my feet go cold.
Knowing that they still had doubts, Li Xiangnan also said seriously:
"Opium is poppy! The alkaloids such as morphine and codeine in this substance will directly act on the reward center of the brain, forming a strong psychological dependence.
Long-term users will develop tolerance and need to continuously increase the dosage to maintain the "high".
Once you stop using it, it will cause withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, muscle cramps, cold sweats, etc. If it continues for a long time, your organs will continue to be damaged, and in severe cases, it may lead to death. "
"So, the next treatment for Jiang San is to wean him off his addiction to opium!"
"I just added methadone to his noodles. This substance will temporarily replace the pleasure brought to him by morphine and other alkaloids, and slowly affect his dependence on opium!"
Li Xiangnan pointed outside and said, "An hour ago, Captain Guo from the Municipal Bureau led a team to the noodle shop to arrest someone."
Everyone was shocked and finally understood why Li Xiangnan had asked someone to call the Municipal Bureau.
"Success and failure are both due to Xiao He!" Li Xiangnan stepped forward and gently pressed Jiang San's shoulder, "That noodle shop harmed Jiang San, but it was also because of Jiang San that the noodle shop was closed down, and the couple received the punishment they deserved!"
"This brother is also a pitiful man! Alas!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang San, filled with sighs.
The truth came to light at this moment.
Jiang San, who was originally misunderstood and possessed by evil spirits, unexpectedly had such a story behind him.
Tatata!
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor, and Master Zhong's voice immediately sounded at the door.
"Dean, Captain Guo from the Municipal Public Security Bureau wants to see you!"
Li Xiangnan shouted, “Here we come!”
He walked out, "It seems that there is a result!"
