Chapter 1675: 1618 Mysterious Mass Vomiting

~7 min read 1,261 words

"Zheng Ren comrade, urgent mission, assemble at the 912 Emergency Department." After picking up the phone, a solemn voice said.

Eh... it's actually a Health Group mission!

Zheng Ren responded promptly and neatly, jumped out of bed and started getting dressed.

From the tone of voice, it seemed something big had happened. Moreover, when I answered the phone, I heard Su Yun's phone ring too—this wasn't a single person calling to notify.

It must be an urgent, major matter.

Hastily putting on clothes, as he went out Zheng Ren saw Su Yun also come out of her room.

"What's the matter?" Zheng Ren asked.

"I don't know, it's strange." Su Yun said while hailing a car: "It doesn't seem like someone is sick; normally that situation would be outpatient, and they definitely wouldn't call both of us out in the middle of the night."

Zheng Ren knew that.

The Interventional Medicine Discipline is basically the lowest-tier discipline.

When making collective decisions, just raising a hand suffices; if one wants to voice an opinion… before Zheng Ren appeared, which department's chief would listen to the Interventional Medicine Discipline's opinion?

Of course, it might be used when looking at images, but it's only auxiliary.

Dragging both me and Su Yun out to the 912 Emergency Department in the middle of the night—could it be a drill?

"It's either not a drill or a mass incident." Su Yun was very solemn, rarely so solemn: "The chance of it being a drill is small; I'll check."

He then started making phone calls.

Speaking while going downstairs.

The elevator had poor signal; Su Yun forgot in her haste.

On Zhou Litao's end, the speech was broken and intermittent; only a rough idea could be guessed.

Just as guessed, the Emergency Department is in chaos!

It's not an individual illness, but a mass incident!

For doctors, mass incidents are only of two types—major traffic accidents, food poisoning, etc. —just like the nitrite poisoning incident Zheng Ren encountered in Hai Cheng.

There's also another kind, which is most unpleasant—medical disturbances.

Now the crackdown on black forces has intensified; after three rounds, social security has improved greatly, and medical disturbances have almost disappeared.

Then it can only be a major serial traffic accident or something like a chemical plant explosion—a mass incident.

The matter is serious enough to warrant mobilizing the Health Group……

Zheng Ren and Su Yun both fell silent in the elevator.

Such an incident likely involves at least a hundred casualties.

Big Pig Trotter didn't issue a mission; perhaps there are only fatalities, with few injuries—thinking of this, Zheng Ren couldn't help but feel gloomy.

After exiting the elevator, Su Yun seized the moment to call Zhou Litao again.

"Manager Zhou, what's up?" Su Yun asked bluntly after the call connected.

"Food poisoning, Capital Medical University—over a hundred students have already arrived." Zhou Litao said anxiously.

"Have they identified the cause?"

"No."

Su Yun hung up directly and told Zheng Ren: "Food poisoning, source unknown."

Zheng Ren realized he had guessed wrong—it wasn't a major traffic accident or a chemical plant explosion, but food poisoning on the school campus, and moreover of the unknown-source variety.

The driver, hearing their conversation, asked softly: "You two, are you doctors?"

"Yeah, driver, please hurry."

"Sure thing, rest assured—I'll drive it like an emergency rescue vehicle." The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car roared through the night of Di Du.

Late at night, traffic on Di Du's roads had thinned considerably; the driver was basically keeping to the speed limit, rushing to the 912 Emergency Department in the shortest time.

The two went straight to the Emergency Department; extra beds had already spread to the entrance. Director Yan stood grim-faced at the end of the corridor, while the director of the Hospital Office and Medical Department Chief Ye Qingqiu directed the rescue, constantly reporting the situation to him.

Standing in the Emergency Department hall, Zheng Ren froze.

The vomiting of the students on the extra beds was indeed severe; from time to time one could hear waves of nausea and dry heaving.

It rose and fell like sea waves, seeming never to stop.

Yet the students' system panels were mostly a faint green, indicating perfect health.

Only a few red system panels showed diagnoses limited to complications of vomiting such as electrolyte imbalance.

No system panel indicated bacterial toxin poisoning.

What the hell is going on?! Zheng Ren cursed inwardly.

Could Big Pig Trotter be broken?

Zheng Ren once again suspected Big Pig Trotter, yet it made no sense.

Some individuals clearly had diagnoses, but the vast majority of students were fine.

"Boss, what are you pondering?" Su Yun took a few steps, felt Zheng Ren wasn't keeping up, stopped and asked.

"Don't spout nonsense—I saw you were as sturdy as a calf when you praised grace. Have you figured out what's wrong?" Su Yun, sharp as ever, having experienced countless similar incidents, had already vaguely guessed the truth.

"Don't talk nonsense, I saw you were as strong as a calf when you fought Song En. Have you figured out what's wrong?" Su Yun is smart, having experienced countless similar things, she had already vaguely guessed the truth.

As he walked, he observed the nearby students.

A female student vomited until tears streamed down; but she seemed to have vomited so much that her stomach was empty, and she could only writhe painfully on the extra bed.

Ahead was a male student who, after vomiting, felt awful and banged his head against the wall; but he was completely weak, so the impact made barely a sound and posed no danger.

Around them, classmates looked after them, interspersed with nurses changing IV drips, busy as bees.

Strange, what disease is this? Zheng Ren stared and stared, then began searching his memory for similar cases.

But no case matched the current situation, leaving Zheng Ren a bit bewildered.

But no case matched the current situation, and Zheng Renye was a bit confused.

The ever-successful Big Pig Trotter actually failed in such a serious situation……

MD! Zheng Ren cursed silently.

This is what I can see; I don't know how many cases of vomiting and death have occurred. If someone really dies…… Zheng Ren felt solemn in his heart.

No matter how small the matter, one cannot be careless, let alone a collective "poisoning" incident.

Vice President Yuan held a phone in his hand, as if he had just received some information, and returned to Director Yan's side, speaking softly.

Zheng Ren walked straight toward Director Yan, and various department heads, also members of the health team, continuously came and went, bustling inside and outside the Emergency Resuscitation Room.

The Big Pig Trotter wasn't broken; Zheng Ren saw the most popular System Panel on site—Director Yan.

Acute myocardial infarction.

It's probably because he was too anxious, emotional tension, causing Director Yan to even have a heart attack.

But Zheng Ren had no time to worry about Director Yan; seeing that he also ignored him, he hurried into the Emergency Resuscitation Room.

Zhou Litao was giving a student gastric lavage.

Although there was no clear diagnosis yet, the impression diagnosis was food poisoning, and gastric lavage is always correct.

A college student, around twenty years old, in the prime of health. Just gastric lavage, and I wasn't worried about any complications.

No matter the situation, first wash out the stomach contents in bed; one can't just do nothing and stare foolishly. Moreover, under these circumstances, gastric lavage is the most reliable treatment method.
