Mistrust folk remedies! The "doctor" who wants to prove his safety died of drug poisoning.
Aunt Xiao of Wengyuan, Shaoguan, Guangdong Province recently had a bizarre "medical treatment" experience, which almost killed her.
Aunt Xiao has an old problem of low back pain. On the afternoon of July 11th, she felt that her low back pain had broken out again. The pain was unbearable. She found that a small clinic specializing in "hyperosteogeny" was opened in the village. With the help of the "doctor" in the clinic, Aunt Xiao went to see a doctor.
According to Aunt Xiao’s memory, after entering this orthopedic clinic, the "doctor" of the clinic began to help Aunt Xiao with massage treatment. After that, the "doctor" took out some powder, washed it with water and gave it to Aunt Xiao, and charged her 30 yuan. Although Aunt Xiao is dubious, the "doctor" in the clinic insists that the "black tiger" powder is a folk remedy and is very effective in treating low back pain. Finally, Aunt Xiao drank this potion and went home.
After returning home for half an hour, Aunt Xiao began to feel something was wrong: "I can’t see things clearly, and I feel dizzy." Aunt Xiao’s husband, Uncle Xu, saw this situation and quickly went to the clinic with Aunt Xiao on her back to understand the situation. In the face of Aunt Xiao’s situation, Zou, the "doctor", was very calm. In order to prove that the powder was fine, he ate a small spoonful in front of everyone. But what some people in the place didn’t expect was that after eating the powder for a long time, Zou was suddenly in the wrong situation! After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, Zou eventually died unfortunately. After several days of treatment, Aunt Xiao is now fine.
On the morning of 16th, the reporter came to this clinic and found that the door of the clinic was locked with the seal of the local market supervision administration. According to the preliminary detection by wengyuan county Food Safety Committee, the "black tiger" powder contains about 200mg of the toxic substance Gelatin per kilogram. Both the patient Xiao and the deceased Zou were poisoned by taking the "black tiger" powder containing Gelsemium. "Gouqin", commonly known as Herba Lysimachiae, is currently in midsummer. Because the appearance of Gouqin and honeysuckle is similar, people often mistakenly put Gouqin as honeysuckle into tea to relieve the heat, which leads to poisoning.
The reporter reminds everyone here that you should go to a regular hospital to see a doctor. You should not take medicine at will, let alone believe in folk remedies. If you are unwell, you must go to a regular hospital.
