Recently, a mother in Wuhan had a quarrel with her son because of tutoring and learning. In a rage, she swallowed seven sleeping pills.
Ms. Xu's Son Jin Jin (a pseudonym) is 7 years old and is in grade two. At ordinary times, Ms. Xu and his wife are particularly concerned about their children's education. They not only apply for various training classes and tutorial classes, but also take turns to tutor their children's homework every night. Recently, Jin Jin is about to usher in the final exam, and Ms. Xu is becoming more and more anxious.
Last Friday night, Ms. Xu tutored her children to do math problems. After talking about it for more than half an hour, Jin Jin still said that she would not do it. Ms. Xu became more and more anxious. She couldn't help losing her temper with her child. Unexpectedly, her son and mother quarreled. After hearing this, Ms. Xu's husband quickly comforted the two and took over the child's counseling task.
After returning to the bedroom, Ms. Xu, who was gasping, even picked up the sleeping pills she occasionally took and swallowed seven in one breath. The mood gradually calmed down. Ms. Xu also began to feel dizzy. Only then did she feel a little afraid. She quickly told her husband. Then, her husband immediately sent her to Wuhan fourth hospital for treatment.
'when I was angry with ya, I swallowed seven sleeping pills when I was in a hurry'. In the emergency department of the hospital, Ms. Xu's family talked about her medical history, which made the receiving doctor Xiao Zheng cry and laugh, and hurried to carry out relevant examination and treatment for Ms. Xu.
"This is the first time I have seen parents taking sleeping pills due to counseling homework." Ding Xiangwu, director of the Department of Gastroenterology of the hospital, said that the patients who took large doses of sleeping pills due to anger in the Department were mostly caused by uncontrollable quarrels between lovers, couples and even mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
He reminded that sleeping pills have an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system. Normal doses of sleeping pills can effectively help sleep, but overdose will lead to drug poisoning. If the absorbed dose exceeds 10-20 times the normal dose, it may cause respiratory depression and even death in severe cases.
