First night at the emergency room

Well there you have it. Just the moment I had thought that I have seen everything, a girl comes with some Vasmol hair dye in her stomach. Now was this deliberate, I mean was she trying to mock the years of our medical education (which failed to mention anything about Vasmol), or was it a prank she played on her sibling? Whatever the case may be, beginning from internists to medical officers, everyone was clueless on what to do with the hapless child, and so her mother was advised to go out and buy another sachet of Vasmol so that we could at least know what kind of molecules has she ingested. Believe it or not, within thirty minutes or so, she began to vomit and purge black, blacker than Sanjay Leela Banshali, and the episode, to everybody's relief, was over.
Or was it? Within fifteen minutes of the Vasmolovorous, comes another who has ingested some silica gel from the safety valve of her pressure cooker, and another, with a mosquito repellant ('All Out').  And before you are aware of it, the night is over.
