Chapter 389: Taken Away
However, it was possible that the frequency was too high and the addiction was getting stronger. Once it reached a point where it couldn’t be controlled, it would really produce an extremely painful feeling.
Therefore, the patient’s expression, state, reaction, and actions were indeed signs of pain.
The police captain looked at Jiang Tingxu at this moment.
“We’ll take him away immediately. I’ll have to trouble you to give him a sedation.”
Jiang Tingxu nodded and said, “Sure.”
The head nurse quickly went out to prepare the medicine.
The old lady was crying uncontrollably. She was supported by the old man. She wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
“Are the two of you his family members?”
“Yes, yes. I’m his father. This is my wife.”
“Old lady, you have to go to the station with us later.”
“Okay, okay.”
The man on the hospital bed were still screaming. His state was worse than when he was first sent to the hospital. Tears, snot, and saliva were already flowing out uncontrollably.
“It’s uncomfortable, I’m in pain, I’m in so much pain. Dad, Mom, save me, save me!”
Demerol was only one-tenth to one-seventh of the effect of morphine, but it was already this addictive.
One could imagine what would happen to those people who were really drug addicts when they had an episode.
At this time, the head nurse finally returned. With the help of two police officers, she held the patient down tightly before administering the sedative into the patient’s body.
However, although it was a sedative, it wasn’t completely effective. It just had a slightly sedating effect.
“Alright, we’ll take him away. We’ll contact you if there’s anything.”
They had been anxiously waiting to take him away since long before. At this moment, many patients and their family members were awakened and watching. This wasn’t a good thing.
It was better to take him away quickly so that there wouldn’t be any unexpected incidents.
After all, drug addicts made people apprehensive.
Jiang Tingxu and Liao Jiayu nodded.
“If there’s any problem, we will definitely cooperate.”
The police captain nodded, then left with his subordinates, the patient, and the patient’s family members.
After the group of people left, the onlookers started to discuss.
“Eh, is that guy a drug addict? How sinful!”
“Yeah, look at that old couple. They’re not young anymore, but they have such a son. How unfortunate!”
“Drugs are really untouchable. Absolutely untouchable. Worst case scenario, you’ll go bankrupt, and even worst, your family will be ruined!”
Most people knew the gravity of this matter!
Jiang Tingxu shook her head slightly and sighed in her heart. Then, she turned around and went back to her office.
After such a commotion, the sky had already started to brighten.
“Yawn, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to take a nap.”
“Me too, I’m so sleepy that I can barely open my eyes.”
…
In the office, Jiang Tingxu sprawled on the table again, but she wasn’t asleep. Her mind kept replaying the incident with that patient from just now.
She sat up and said to Liao Jiayu, who was behind her, “Doctor Liao, why do you think those people take drugs?”
Were they sick of living or something?
Otherwise, why would they touch that lethal thing?
Liao Jiayu immediately sighed and said, “Young people are under a lot of pressure nowadays. There are even times when a spring breaks, so not to mention people.”
School, job, mortgage, car loan… which one of them wasn’t a heavy burden on their shoulders?
Even Liao Jiayu, an emergency department doctor, who had been out of school for almost ten years, and his wife, were still working hard to pay the mortgage every month.
In addition to the mortgage, they also had to support their children and senior parents. Fortunately, both of them worked in official units, so their monthly salary was paid on time and their jobs were stable.
Otherwise…
