23-year-old female employee in Foshan

Died of sevoflurane poisoning

　　Recently, in Foshan, Guangdong, a 23-year-old female employee of a real estate company Chen Moumei was found dead in a hotel.

On February 9, the WeChat public account of the Gaoming Branch of the Foshan Public Security Bureau issued a notice stating that after investigation, the woman Chen Momei (23 years old) and the police man Peng Mo (39 years old) were both employees of the data room of a construction engineering company. Chen Moumei will be employed at the end of 2020.

　　Through on-site investigations, visits and investigations, combined with the forensic expert opinions of third-party agencies, the police found that Peng was suspected of committing a major crime and has been detained for criminal purposes.

On February 10, the People’s Procuratorate of Gaoming District, Foshan City issued a notice stating that the procuratorate made a decision to approve the arrest of the criminal suspect Peng on suspicion of rape (death).

Currently, the case is under further investigation.

On the 10th, The Paper reported that according to the police autopsy certificate obtained by the relatives of the deceased, Chen Moumei died of acute respiratory and circulatory dysfunction caused by sevoflurane poisoning.

The police will investigate the case of death caused by negligence.

　　This detail subsequently attracted the attention of netizens, and many popular science majors also participated in the discussion.

Dr. Chen, who has more than 2 million fans and claims to be an obstetrician and gynecologist in a top three specialist hospital, took the lead in posting an article introducing the dangers of inhaled anesthetics and calling on the police to thoroughly investigate the distribution channels of sevoflurane.

However, in his blog post, the sentence "There really is such a drug that makes you dizzy, that is, high-purity synthetic chemicals such as ether and sevoflurane" caused controversy, and in the process of being forwarded, the article was quoted This sentence is the most frequent.

experiment

The speech was criticized as unprofessional

Internet celebrity doctors "operate" themselves

　　As the spread of this speech expands, on February 15th, @江宁婆婆 issued an article emphasizing: "The kind of pat on your shoulder, blow at you and talk to you, control your consciousness every minute, so that you are awake. The Ecstasy that took him to the bank to withdraw money in the state does not exist." In the article, @江宁婆婆 mentioned the "out-of-circle" remarks of Dr. Chen of @妇产科, saying, "This is very unprofessional and very unprofessional. Strict and irresponsible", "Sevflurane is indeed a chemical that has better anesthetic effects than ether, but if you want to achieve'one cover, you will faint', ether can't do it, and sevoflurane can't do it. Once you cover it, you will die. There are a lot of chemicals.” Science blogger @科学未来人 also said that Dr. Chen’s statement of @妇产科 is not rigorous, or is wrong. It is recommended to modify the blog post to avoid misleading netizens.

　　At the same time, under relevant discussions, many netizens in anesthesia majors left a message saying that the anesthetics that "should be dizzy" do not currently exist, and that "different medical specialties vary greatly." It can only be used as a reference. The anesthesiologist's words are the most accurate.

　　Seeing that he was being corrected, Dr. Chen of @妇产科 couldn't sit still, saying that he didn't reply to @江宁婆婆, "I don't seem to respect him enough".

She directly experimented with herself and wrote, "Let you experience how rigorous I am. When I become rigorous, I even pit myself."

Dr. Chen of @OBSTEK also claimed that the sevoflurane in the video was “purchased through formal channels” a long time ago, and “this channel has now been blocked”.

At present, the video has been deleted.

　　According to netizens’ reports, in the video, Dr. Chen of @女子生科 was fainted after more than a minute without resisting or struggling.

@江宁婆婆 later responded that: "The core of this matter should be concerned with the flow of controlled drugs and the prevention of ordinary people. Either ether or sevoflurane, if it can't stun people, is it called a narcotic? Of course, it is used for crime. But, I ran away from the doctor."

apologize

Accept everyone's criticism

My focus itself is wrong

　　After the incident, some netizens believed that the practice of Dr. Chen of @ pack-neck obstetrics violated the notice of the General Office of the National Health Commission on strengthening the management of narcotic drugs and the first-class psychotropic drugs in medical institutions.

However, sevoflurane is an inhaled anesthetic and is a prescription drug, not in the Catalogue of Narcotic Drugs (2013 Edition) and the Catalogue of Psychotropic Drugs (2013 Edition).

　　On the 16th, Dr. Chen's Weibo of @ Women's Obstetrics was closed, and the introduction changed to: "Don't be so troublesome, I have already surrendered to the police. It is my pot, and I will bear it." As public opinion further ferments, Dr. Chen passes health The blogger @烧伤超人阿宝 posted that the sevoflurane used in his experiment was obtained through a prescription by a pharmacist at an online pharmacy, and was originally used for sterilization of dogs.

The dog is its mother, but the dog died of canine plague before the sterilization operation.

　　After being pointed out by netizens that sevoflurane is a "controlled drug", Dr. Chen said that he had called the police to surrender and said that the police told her "this drug is not controlled" and asked her to find a hospital for medical waste disposal. The police report that the police will follow up on this matter.

　　"However, I was wrong to experiment with myself. I admit it and accept everyone's criticism." Dr. Chen wrote.

"After this incident, I also reflected on my behavior. I think my focus itself is wrong. I should focus on why individuals can get sevoflurane so easily, not The anesthetic effect of sevoflurane. I also suggest that everyone join me to focus on the distribution channels of sevoflurane, and call on relevant departments to include sevoflurane, an inhaled anesthetic with drug effects, into the control. Narcotic drugs."

Quick review

Net celebrity doctors faint themselves undesirable

But it also tested that the public was worried

　　It may not be considered scientifically rigorous to sort out the doctors’ experimental operations.

In addition to being accused of irregular operations, the previous description of "a cover is dizzy" is inevitably exaggerated.

In addition, considering the safety guarantee in the experiment and the possible demonstration effect, it is not desirable.

　　But what is the point of being dizzy for 15 seconds or 60 seconds?

Imagine that deliberate criminal premeditators will always find the "appropriate" time and space for the crime, as long as they have the relevant drugs.

In contrast, people want to know how the potential offenders obtained these drugs?

Are these drugs that may be used in crime safe and controllable?

If there are regulatory or management loopholes, how to plug them?

　　From this point of view, regardless of the purpose and starting point of the doctor involved, the popularization of relevant medical knowledge actually has public value.

This experiment and the controversy surrounding the experiment magnified a public topic involving public safety, allowing people to pay attention to potential risks around them.

Pay attention to the traceability and management of narcotic drugs, which is everyone's concern; how to eliminate management loopholes (if any) and not give criminals an opportunity to take advantage of it is also everyone's concern.

　　In fact, as if this experiment was presented to the public, related topics aroused controversy among the police, doctors, and netizens.

From their own professional point of view, people continue to point out that the experimenter’s statement is not rigorous; or focus on the control of sevoflurane.

The more you argue, the more you argue, the discussion itself has a process of self-correction and letting the truth stand out.

When professionals in various fields continue to contribute their wisdom, the fallacy can be clarified, and the true knowledge can arm the mind.

　　Although sevoflurane is not a "controlled drug", it does not mean that it is less harmful and can be ignored.

How many drugs are similar to "non-regulated" but are indeed hazardous?

Does the control method need to be amended and the harms controlled?

Thinking and discussion can't stop at netizens and professionals, it also requires more in-depth research and judgment by relevant departments.

After all, life is a matter of life, blocking loopholes and preventing the slightest failure is the right way.
