The cause was determined to be a marital conflict, so Ms. N sought out poison leaves to commit suicide. Although it was dark, the doctors and nurses quickly performed emergency treatment on the victim using traditional medicine. After more than 1 hour of intensive treatment, the patient passed the critical stage and gradually recovered.
