When the family members saw the expressions of the two doctors, their hearts tensed up.
“Is it serious?” They asked nervously.
Jiang Tingxu and Liao Jiayu frowned deeply. Then, they looked at each other again. Jiang Tingxu said to the family members, “Auntie, Uncle, let’s talk outside.”
As for Liao Jiayu, after they left, he personally stood by the patient’s bed. A nurse came in, but she was also persuaded by Liao Jiayu to leave discreetly.
Outside the ward, Jiang Tingxu looked at the old couple in front of her.
“Your son indeed isn’t sick!”
“Then…”
“However, the blood test report that just came out shows that your son has quite a high level of Demerol in his body.”
The old couple didn’t know what Demerol was, so they didn’t understand the deeper meaning behind Jiang Tingxu’s words.
Jiang Tingxu pursed her lips and continued,
“Demerol is a red prescription painkiller. Its effects and mechanism are similar to those of morphine. It’s equivalent to 1/10-1/7 of morphine. Long-term use will result in addiction, and it’s classified as a strictly controlled narcotic drug.”
Even if the old couple didn’t understand the word Demerol, who wouldn’t know what morphine was?
For a moment, the old couple’s expressions changed drastically. The old lady’s feet swayed, but fortunately, the old man beside her held her steady.
Drug… addiction!
No parent would be able to remain calm after finding out that their child had done such a thing.
The old lady held her husband’s hand tightly.
“What should we do? What should we do? This is impossible! How could this be?”
The old man looked a little calmer.
“What else can we do? We can’t be soft-hearted when it comes to matters like this. Being soft-hearted will only harm him!” As he finished speaking, his gaze shifted to Jiang Tingxu.
“Doctor, call the police.”
This decision wasn’t something that just anyone could make.
However, this was undoubtedly the best choice.
Otherwise, could they just let him continue to be like this?
At that time, he would be doomed. Even the God wouldn’t be able to save him.
The old lady wailed in grief.
“Must we call the police? Can’t we bring him back to his hometown?”
As a mother, how could she bear to do that?
“No, you’ve always been soft-hearted. I can guarantee that if he cries at you or threatens you with suicide, you will relent.”
It had to be said that this old man was really clear-headed!
Jiang Tingxu closed her eyes.
“Our hospital has a rule for this kind of thing. Once we find out, we will immediately call the police. At this time, the police should be arriving soon.”
The police station wasn’t that far away.
It would only take a few minutes for them to arrive at the hospital.
Moreover, if the police didn’t come, the hospital couldn’t arbitrarily give medical advice.
After all, when it came this sort of matter, it was safer to wait for the police to arrive.
Who knew whether or not the addict would go crazy?
It wasn’t like such a thing had never happened before.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Tingxu finished speaking, two police cars arrived. A few policemen got out of the cars.
Jiang Tingxu waved her hand.
“Comrade, this way.”
The police captain, who was leading the group, had a very serious expression as he stepped forward.
“Where is he?”
“He’s in the ward. Our department’s Doctor Liao is guarding him.”
The police captain gestured to his subordinates behind him, and a few police officers directly entered the emergency room. After being introduced by the nurse, they went straight to the ward and immediately captured him.
“Ah, what are you doing? Let go of me! Let go of me! It hurts, it hurts!”
Previously, they didn’t know the exact situation, but after receiving the examination report, how could they not know that this person wasn’t feeling unwell at all? He was purely here to cheat Demerol from them.
