Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? I have a question about alcohol poisoning and need help?Doctor's answer:
For alcohol poisoning, it is generally caused by consuming a large amount of alcohol in a short period, leading to a disruption in central nervous system function. This condition is usually dangerous, and in severe cases, it can affect the liver and nervous system, resulting in mental disorders, and may even lead to a near-death experience. Complications such as loss of consciousness, shock, respiratory failure, and sudden death can occur. Therefore, when your colleagues discuss alcohol poisoning, they are most likely considering the possibility that excessive beer consumption in a short time led to sudden death. Hence, it is important to be cautious about the amount of beer consumed.
