20 13 On July 22nd, Mr. Xu's wife, Ms. Hu, fumigated in a traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy fumigation hall. Unexpectedly, after fumigation 1.5 hours, symptoms of nausea and vomiting appeared, consciousness began to be unclear, limbs moved involuntarily, accompanied by palpitations.
Mr. Xu originally asked to send his wife to the hospital immediately, but the staff in the fumigation hall told him that he would get better in two hours and prevented him from sending his wife to the hospital for treatment.
Unexpectedly, after two hours, the wife's symptoms not only did not improve, but there was a trend of aggravation. Mr. Xu immediately sent his wife to hospital for treatment. However, despite the hospital's efforts, he still failed to save the patient's life. On March 14, his wife, Ms. Hu, passed away. Diagnosed by the China-Japan Friendship Hospital of the Ministry of Health, Ms. Hu died of toxic shock.
According to the test results of fumigation package issued by Beijing Institute for Drug Control to Pinggu police, the institute received samples of fumigation package sent by Pinggu Public Security Detachment on September 14 to identify the varieties of Chinese herbal pieces in the package. After inspection, there are 7 kinds of Chinese herbal pieces, such as Fructus Toosendan, Thallus Laminariae, Pericarpium Arecae, etc. However, some of them have been ground into coarse particles or fine powder, and the appearance characteristics are not obvious enough, so some of them cannot be confirmed.
According to the test report submitted by China-Japan Friendship Hospital to the Toxicology Laboratory of 307 Hospital affiliated to Academy of Military Medical Sciences, the results showed that the contents of mercury, lead, thallium and cadmium in the submitted serum did not exceed the normal value, and no other poisons were detected in the submitted blood and urine.
It was found through trial by the court that Ms. Hu's hospitalization medical records recorded that the external causes of injury poisoning were unknown fumigant poisoning and unknown contact with hydrothermal solution and hot air. Therefore, there is a causal relationship between Ms. Hu's death and receiving fumigation services.
Pinggu Court ordered Zhang and Li Mouling to jointly compensate the family members of the deceased for medical expenses, accommodation, death compensation and funeral expenses of 732,500 yuan within 10 days after the judgment came into effect, and Li Mouying was jointly and severally liable for compensation.
