A pediatric emergency doctor has shared a terrifying warning amid the festive season after she revealed that a six-month-old baby was rushed to the hospital after he got drunk accidentally.
Meghan Martin, who goes by the username @beachgem10 on social media, recently posted a video to TikTok explaining the young boy had come to the hospital that she works at after parents noticed that he wouldn’t wake up.
Meghan and her team ran a series of tests but struggled to find anything wrong with him – until they noticed that his blood alcohol level was double the legal limit.
‘This boy was floppy,’ the mom-of-four recalled in the now-viral clip. ‘They brought him right into the resuscitation room and we started getting vital signs.’
Dr. Martin said the boy was thankfully breathing fine and his other vital signs looked normal.
However, she noted that he was cold, with a body temperature of only 94 degrees, and his blood sugar levels were low, at 25, which she said was ‘totally not normal.’
She explained that her team tried to give him some sugar, but nothing had changed.
‘We get him over to a CAT scan, CAT scan is normal,’ she continued. ‘We ran all of the labs – we did it all.’
