Chapter 59 Section 8

Dr. Galidi asked Cross to keep a close eye on Sunny's condition and call immediately if there is any abnormality. At 6:30, Sunny's breathing suddenly became short, and she scratched her chest with both hands.Maria tried to help her sit up, but couldn't. "I asked my husband to help me, but my husband shook his head, no." But this time, without waiting for Mariah to speak, Cross called Dr. Galidi: "I want you to come now, as soon as possible, and I will pay as much as I want." It happened that Prince Alexander returned home after playing tennis in the afternoon, and when he saw this, he stayed in the master bedroom and was anxious with everyone.

Dr. Galidy came very quickly, within 10 minutes, after a short examination and treatment, he called an ambulance and put the patient on an oxygen mask and sent him to Newport Hospital. According to regulations, when a comatose patient is received by a hospital, the first step is to find out whether they have taken drugs, taken excessive sleeping pills, or drank too much alcohol, etc.Blood and other samples should be drawn before injection or infusion for patients to ensure the originality of the samples.According to relevant medical records, Mrs. Sunny von Pro was admitted to the hospital at 7:30 p.m. on December 27, 1979, and Dr. Galidy received the blood test report 25 minutes later.Sunny's blood sugar is very low, only 41 mg per 100 ml of blood, which is 41% of the normal value, the content of alcohol and sleeping drugs is also low, and there is a little aspirin.

At 9 o'clock, Dr. Galidi asked the nurse to give the patient a dose of glucose, and then tested it two hours later. Instead of rising, the patient's blood sugar dropped to 20 mg per 100 ml of blood. That's when, as Gary Galidy later said in court, he thought of insulin. Insulin is a protein hormone secreted by islet β cells in the pancreas. Its physiological function is to participate in the glucose metabolism in animals and control blood sugar balance.When blood sugar rises, such as eating sugary sweets, the pancreas will secrete a certain amount of insulin to convert excess glucose into glycogen.When blood sugar is too low, such as without eating for a long time, the insulin level in the body will also decrease accordingly, thereby stimulating liver cells to reduce glycogen into glucose and release it into the blood.So to put it simply, insulin is actually a hypoglycemic agent.

The most common clinical manifestation of insulin secretion disorders is diabetes mellitus, the main indicator of which is low insulin levels, resulting in high blood sugar, resulting in excess glucose that cannot be resolved in the blood entering the urine (so it is called "diabetes" because normal urine does not Glucose), one of the treatment methods is to regularly inject medical insulin for patients. However, if insulin is used improperly, such as injected into a normal person, it can lead to varying degrees of coma due to a sharp drop in blood sugar. Dr. Galidy said he thought of insulin because, generally speaking, a patient's blood sugar should rise after a glucose infusion, and if it continues to drop, there is "probably" excess insulin in the patient's body.However, Dr. Galidy reasoned, Sunny had never been diabetic, so she couldn't possibly inject insulin.Therefore, at the time, the word "insulin" was at most just a flash of thought that passed through Dr. Galidy's mind, and it was not written into the case, nor mentioned to his colleagues.

The doctors ended up speciously diagnosing Sunny with hypoglycemia, the opposite of diabetes.Dr. Galidy’s explanation to the patient’s family is also specious. He said that although Sunny’s pancreas still has the function of producing insulin, it is out of coordination. Enough is enough, let it go when you see it.However, the doctor's instructions were not without reason, saying that in Sunny's case, desserts and alcohol were like poison, and that they should be eaten as little as possible if they could not be avoided. Fortunately, the overnight infusion made Sunny's blood sugar level gradually rise, and finally returned to normal on the morning of December 28, reaching 154 mg the next day.In the afternoon, after 24 hours of coma, Sunny finally woke up, and everyone celebrated.

The only one who was not happy was Maria Singlaham, who was still brooding over the several conflicts and quarrels with Klose von Prowe the day before, she secretly went to Prince Alexander and said that Klose was behaving very abnormally at that time Well, he didn't seem to want his wife to come back to life. He didn't have to call the doctor until he was forced to do so.In order to strengthen her argument, Maria also said that if there is something wrong with her, the husband will always order someone to call the doctor immediately after hearing about it... txt novel upload share
