Chapter 626 688 Abnormal Blood Drug Concentration

However, since he no longer has to work night shifts, his mental state seems to have improved considerably.

"I heard someone introduced you to a girlfriend, is that true?" Li Youliang asked gossipy.

"Haha, there really is." Ma Liang became interested when this topic came up.

“We’ve talked before. By the way, Li Xinyao knows her too; we were together during our onboarding training.”

The woman is a doctor at the ophthalmology hospital opposite the provincial hospital. The ophthalmology hospital is a branch of the provincial hospital, which means that the ophthalmology department is so powerful that it has its own large campus.

"What does it look like?" Gao Feng asked.

Ma Liang took out his phone and showed it to the two of them.

"You look great," Gao Feng commented. "How did she fall for you?"

“I’m not ugly either,” Ma Liang said.

He had talked to the woman before and subtly expressed his admiration, but had not received a response.

"Then why are you willing to talk to me now?" Li Youliang asked curiously.

"What else can they do? They're getting too old to get married and they're getting anxious."

The ophthalmology hospital is also very busy, with a high proportion of female doctors, many of whom are single.

It's understandable that the woman had high standards at first; she had a high income and was quite attractive, so she must have fantasized about her other half being a prince charming.

But reality is still relatively cruel. I've been on many blind dates over the years, but I'm still single.

Her best friend advised her to lower her standards, saying that if all else fails, she could find a doctor from the same hospital.

"I'm quite familiar with Xunxun from the emergency room. She said there's a young talent in their department, well, not exactly young, about your age."

"Hey, I didn't say you were old, don't hit me, I'm talking to you about serious business."

"She's single too! And she has a great personality."

"By the way, Xunxun inserted a catheter into him. According to her, it was quite big."

"Oh, look at you! I'm just saying some very realistic things, and you, an old woman, are covering your ears and pretending in front of me!"

"Anyway, you won't lose out!"

After meeting in person and chatting a few more times, they're now very close.

After talking for a while, the topic quickly turned to the recent medical dispute.

"I can understand the family members quite well. After all, it's hard to accept the sudden loss of someone emotionally." Ma Liang picked up a piece of vegetarian chicken and put it in his mouth.

"Brother Liang, you're too kind. The family has been demanding that you be held accountable, and you still think this way." Li Youliang poured him a glass of beer. "I admire you."

“Of course there will be some resentment in their hearts, but if you put yourself in their shoes, you can understand.” Ma Liang said.

"If only family members could learn to put themselves in others' shoes," Gao Feng sighed.

The doctor-patient environment is different now than before. In the past, when the hospital's technical level was poor, if a patient couldn't be cured, they would be sent home directly, and it was rare to see a patient causing a scene in the hospital.

Now that medical technology has improved, there are medical lawsuits everywhere.

It seems that whenever a patient dies in a hospital, someone always has to take responsibility.

It's one thing for young patients, but it's another for their families to have a hard time accepting it.

But before, a 98-year-old patient died, and his family caused a huge scene at the hospital. The attending physician almost became depressed. 98 years old! And he was a patient with cancer that had metastasized throughout his body. Didn't he deserve to die?

If he doesn't die, he could publish a natural history article.

But the family doesn't think so, saying that someone has calculated that the old man will live to be 100 years old without any problem.

“We also bought insurance, which would have given us 80 yuan if we lived to 100. Now, we can only receive a maximum of 10 yuan.”

"The hospital must make up the 70 yuan difference!"

Even the medical dispute mediation committee members shook their heads when they heard this requirement.

"The patient's death was indeed sudden," Gao Feng said, taking a sip of beer. "But it's most likely sudden cardiac death."

Sudden cardiac death is the most rapid type of death. Generally speaking, if the heart stops beating for a few minutes without intervention, the person will go straight to meet Marx.

Cerebral blood vessels, on the other hand, do not heal so quickly. Even with massive cerebral hemorrhage, patients can usually hold on until the ambulance arrives.

"Mysterious Death: Find out the cause of Jia Tianyuan's death. You will receive 10 skill points upon completion."

Gao Feng was a little surprised; the system hadn't issued any tasks for a long time.

But isn't this a bit of hindsight? After all, the autopsy is still in progress. Does he really need to look for the cause after the report is released?
Two weeks passed quickly, and the autopsy report was finally released amidst the anxious waiting of the family.

The report showed that the subject's blood terfenadine concentration was significantly elevated to 196 ng/ml, and the cause of death was determined to be terfenadine-induced arrhythmia.

"Such a high blood drug concentration?" Gao Feng looked surprised, but this was too difficult to understand.

How could Jia Tianyuan have such a high concentration of terfenadine in his blood after only taking one dose of the medication?
Did he eat the whole box?
Gao Feng has seen patients who take medicine haphazardly like this, which is generally seen among the "three lows" group: low income, low education, and low quality.

But this Jia Tianyun is clearly not him.

Not only was he surprised, but Jia Tianyun's wife was also unwilling to accept the report.

"He only took the medicine once, and he strictly followed the dosage prescribed by the doctor."

The remaining medications at home proved she wasn't lying.

"Did he take this terfenadine a few days ago?" Gao Feng asked.

“I did take it. I took it for three days in a row about a week ago, but it was leftovers from before. I stopped taking it after I finished it.” Jia Tianyun’s wife recalled for a moment. “That medicine was also prescribed by your hospital.”

Upon hearing this, Gao Feng looked at Director Li of the pharmacy next to him.

"It's hard to say," Director Li Qian said hesitantly. Even if the patient took it for a month, as long as the dosage was normal, the blood concentration of terfenadine should not be this high.

Could there be a problem with the autopsy report?
However, the probability is very small. The issuance of autopsy reports is very rigorous. When confirming blood drug concentration, samples are collected from multiple sites, and the probability of error is almost zero.

"Then there's something wrong with the medicine in your hospital," Jia Tianyuan's wife said. "I demand that your pharmacy be held accountable!"

Director Li of the pharmacy was completely stunned; she shouldn't have come today.

“That’s impossible. Our medications are all procured and distributed collectively by legitimate manufacturers,” she explained. “There’s only one supplier of terfenadine in the entire city. If there’s a problem with that, then there’s a problem with all of them.”

"If you think there's a problem, we can seal the existing medications for testing."

"If the medication is fine, why is the concentration in my husband's body so high?" Jia Tianyuan's wife asked rhetorically.

Director Li really couldn't explain this, and upon hearing this, he could only turn his gaze to Gao Feng.
