Chapter 2156: Chapter 2015: What Did You Do?
"Please don’t say that. Treating the sick and saving lives is paramount, and the opinions of the patient’s family are very important," Song Xiaodong said.
"I feel sorry for my old leader. Having Mr. Song see them is a rare opportunity. If I hadn’t asked Director Lin to intercede, how could he have had that chance? Just like the old leaders in Beijing, it’s not easy to have Mr. Song see them, but now he has the chance, yet they don’t know how to seize it," Mr. Zhao said, looking at the sanatorium’s building.
"You’re very considerate towards your old leader, but they’ve already invited experts from the province and Beijing, so there shouldn’t be any issues," Song Xiaodong replied.
"Mr. Song, you don’t need to say these things to me. How can the experts from the province and Beijing compare to you?"
The two chatted for a while longer, then bid farewell and went their separate ways. Director Zhao returned to his hospital, Lin Su’er returned to her hospital, and Song Xiaodong went home.
Song Xiaodong got back into his car, about to close the door, when he saw two cars enter from the hospital’s main entrance.
Inside the car were He Wenbai and Zhang Zan.
He Wenbai was a provincial expert invited by Wang Xingye, and Zhang Zan was an expert from Beijing invited by Wang Xingye.
Zhang Zan was He Wenbai’s student.
In medicine, especially Western medicine and surgery, age requirements for doctors are strict. Being too young means lack of experience, and being too old means lacking physical stamina.
Thus, outstanding surgical doctors are very rare because achieving excellence requires years of practice. The age window for maintaining exceptional surgical skill is very narrow for an excellent surgical doctor.
He Wenbai was already quite old and couldn’t manage some surgeries anymore. Fortunately, he taught an excellent pupil who was picked up by a major hospital in Beijing, and their future is limitless.
The car carrying He Wenbai and Zhang Zan brushed past Song Xiaodong’s car.
"Huh? That person in the car looks like my teacher!" He Wenbai thought to himself.
Wang Xuezhong’s family was still chatting at the ICU entrance when suddenly they heard the piercing alarm sound from the heart monitor inside.
"What’s happening? Doctor! Doctor!"
Yu Xiulin saw the situation and immediately yelled down the corridor.
Soon, Doctor Li from the sanatorium came running with a stethoscope, rushed in, and began an examination.
"This isn’t good; it’s coronary heart disease with myocardial infarction!"
Doctor Li quickly concluded after looking at the ECG.
The elderly man was still unconscious, but his expression began to show pain, and his limbs started making involuntary movements, caused by the severe pain of the heart attack.
Doctor Li administered some emergency measures to the patient, then walked out with a serious expression to briefly explain the situation to the family.
"This is coronary heart disease with myocardial infarction; the condition is extremely dangerous and requires immediate surgery. Waiting for the experts from the province and Beijing is too late."
"But Doctor Li, didn’t you say earlier that you weren’t confident about the surgery?" Yu Xiulin asked.
"There’s no other choice now. For a myocardial infarction, the golden window for resuscitation is only a few minutes. If you agree to the surgery, sign immediately. If not, start preparing," Doctor Li spoke straightforwardly, making it clear that the patient’s condition was indeed critical.
"What is the success rate of the surgery?" Yu Xiulin asked.
"Before the infarction, the surgery success rate was about 60%. Now, as a rescue surgery, the success rate is about 30-40%," Doctor Li answered.
"Can’t we wait for the experts from the province and Beijing?" Yu Xiulin asked Doctor Li.
Doctor Li replied, "There’s no time."
Yu Xiulin thought for a moment, looked at the bottle in her hand, and said to the doctor, "Wait for me a moment."
After speaking, Yu Xiulin rushed in.
"Hey, what are you doing? We’re in the middle of an emergency!" the nursing staff said to Yu Xiulin.
Yu Xiulin broke free, opened the bottle given by Song Xiaodong, releasing a white smoke that the patient inhaled through the nose.
Then Yu Xiulin was escorted out by the nursing staff.
After inhaling the white smoke from the bottle given by Song Xiaodong, the comatose Wang Xuezhong suddenly began to cough violently. After a while, the ECG stabilized again.
Doctor Li looked at the ECG in surprise, knowing that the patient’s myocardial spasm had returned to normal.
If the myocardial spasm returned to normal, it meant that the vascular function supply to the heart was also restored.
This was impossible; blood vessels with atherosclerotic plaques couldn’t restore normal blood supply function.
It was like a clogged drain couldn’t miraculously allow water to flow again.
"What did you do?" Doctor Li asked eagerly of Yu Xiulin.
"I wanted to save the old man’s life,"
Yu Xiulin, not understanding the ECG, thought the old man had already passed away.
"What is this?" Doctor Li asked, looking at the bottle in Yu Xiulin’s hand.
"A doctor left it when they came by earlier, saying if the old man’s condition relapsed, to use this."
Doctor Li grabbed the bottle from Yu Xiulin. It only released a wisp of white smoke and was now empty.
"What’s in here? How could it be so effective?" Wang Xingye asked in confusion.
"It’s a coincidence, right? How could it work so quickly? Just inhaled one breath, coughed a bit, and recovered?" the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang Shuyun, said.
"Maybe the coughing did it," Wang Xingjia said.
"Nonsense! Coughing can treat a heart attack?" Li Xin questioned.
"Just a coincidence, I don’t buy it. Can Traditional Chinese Medicine cure myocardial infarction? Then why have Western medical surgery?" Wang Rui said.
"Anyway, the old man is better now. When the experts from the province and Beijing arrive, they can examine him and we’ll know what’s happening," son-in-law Wang Rong replied.
