Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!-Chapter 88 - 74: Walk Out on Foot, Carried Back on a Stretcher—Gone!
Immediately,
Zhao Yitian helplessly spread his hands at him; it’s become quite common in the emergency room.
But Qin Feng said nothing, his brows furrowed deep in thought.
Something’s not right!
The toothache and shoulder pain could be explained, but after the young man kicked the chair before leaving, his face showed a distinct expression of greater pain.
Even at the moment he turned away from the clinic, he noticed the young man couldn’t resist hitting his own chest area.
"No way!"
Qin Feng was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly stood up, looking seriously at Zhao Yitian,
"Zhao Yitian, that person just now wasn’t simply suffering from a toothache; did you notice anything unusual with his heart?"
"Nothing unusual? Just a bit faster and stronger than a normal person’s."
Zhao Yitian was stunned for a moment by the words, then cautiously said,
"However, he said he’s been on night shifts every day recently, leading to irregular life patterns, which could cause an increase in heart rate, which isn’t unusual."
"Do you think that’s normal?"
Qin Feng shook his head and quickly pulled him to head outside,
"Toothache, shoulder pain, increased heart rate, and he hit his chest twice as he left.
I suspect it’s... a heart attack!"
"Heart attack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yitian shuddered and almost spoke simultaneously.
Of course,
besides a heart attack, another major possibility is an arterial dissection!
But regardless of which, both could instantly claim the man’s life!
Immediately,
Zhao Yitian also became anxious, and the two ran towards the emergency room exit, but when they arrived, the man was already nowhere to be seen.
"Xiaoli, did you see a furious man leave just now?"
Qin Feng turned to the entrance and asked the nurse at the reception desk.
"I think there was one, his face seemed a bit pale, stormed out while cursing."
The young nurse thought for a moment and nodded.
Upon hearing this, the two furrowed their brows even tighter.
"Qin Feng, what should we do now?"
Zhao Yitian looked at Qin Feng, appearing quite tense.
"Don’t worry, go to the entrance surveillance and check where the man went."
Qin Feng pulled him and ran to the guard’s surveillance room.
One must know, myocardial infarction is nearly the most deadly, with a shockingly short time span from onset to death!
Myocardial infarction is typically acute and persistent ischemia and hypoxia (coronary artery insufficiency) triggering myocardial necrosis.
There are many triggers, most patients form thrombosis on atherosclerotic bases, causing complete coronary artery occlusion.
Or with binging, excessive labor, emotional agitation, strain, or a sudden rise in blood pressure, increasing myocardial oxygen demand sharply while coronary blood supply is significantly insufficient.
Moreover, the golden rescue time is extremely short, ranging from tens of seconds to minutes.
If timely emergency care is not received, the mortality rate rises to 100%!
In recent years, the situation of myocardial infarction in the country has shown a trend of increasing frequency, spreading rapidly among younger populations.
The man’s information noted he’s 29 years old, coupled with his angry emotions just now.
He could almost have an onset at any time!
We must find a way to locate him quickly; otherwise, a life may be lost.
"Sir, please help us find the surveillance video from two minutes ago at the emergency entrance."
Zhao Yitian hurriedly said to the security guard.
"Alright, one moment please."
In the surveillance room, the security guard immediately pulled up the emergency entrance’s surveillance view upon hearing.
"Speed it up to 8x!"
Qin Feng looked at the screen and firmly said.
The security guard was momentarily stunned, then quickly adjusted the speed.
The footage became extremely fast, even somewhat blurry.
But in Qin Feng’s eyes, it was extraordinarily clear, his eyes seemed more terrifying than a high-speed camera!
"Front door, 8x."
Upon confirming the man had exited the front door, he immediately switched angles.
Just saw the man getting into a taxi, the license plate was Jiang TX082.
"That’s the one, contact the taxi company and quickly locate this vehicle!"
Qin Feng’s eyes lit up as he spoke decisively.
"Okay, I’ll make the call now."
Zhao Yitian immediately took out his phone, dialed 114, and redirected it to the local taxi company.
"Hello."
"Hello, I’m from Jiangcheng City First People’s Hospital’s emergency department. A patient just left and got into a taxi with the license plate Jiang TX082."
Upon hearing the other party’s customer service voice, he hurriedly explained his identity and intention,
"We suspect the patient might be experiencing a myocardial infarction; please contact the driver and ask him to bring the person back immediately if they’re still in the car."
"Sure, we understand. Could you please provide the passenger’s information? It would help us verify with the driver."
The taxi company’s personnel quickly started taking notes.
Three minutes after the call disconnected, Qin Feng and Zhao Yitian were anxiously waiting.
Finally, the phone rang again.
"Hello, how’s it going?"
Zhao Yitian quickly answered and asked.
"Hi, we reached out to the driver. The gentleman is indeed feeling unwell but refuses to return, insisting on going to the Second Hospital."
The response from the phone left both of them stunned.
This guy truly doesn’t realize the severity of the matter!
The Second Hospital is half an hour away from their hospital. If myocardial infarction occurs following the typical outbreak time, an accident on the road would mean there’s simply no time.
"No way! His current condition cannot last until the Second Hospital; they must immediately have your driver bring him back."
Qin Feng snatched the phone decisively.
"Apologies, but the passenger refuses to go to your hospital, and we cannot forcibly bring him back, really sorry."
The voice on the phone expressed regret, unable to fulfill the request,
"Moreover, the passenger mentioned he’s already released footage just now, telling you to wait."
...
At this point, he fell silent too.
Really don’t know what to say now, what do we do?
Even though the man’s attitude was quite aggressive, it’s frustrating to watch a life likely be lost.
Just as Zhao Yitian continued negotiating with the other side, suddenly the voice stopped from their side.
"Sorry, please hold on a moment; the driver called us back just now."
Then, the driver’s voice came through the phone,
"The passenger in my car just lost consciousness! I’m heading back to the First Hospital, help me quickly contact traffic to open a green wave!"
Damn!
On this end, Qin Feng and Zhao Yitian, along with the waiting security guard beside them, were startled.
It’s over!
The onset occurred!
"Okay, please hold on, I’ll contact the traffic department to open the green lane now."
A voice came from the customer service on the other side,
"Hello, are you still there?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Yitian quickly responded upon hearing this,
"You guys hurry and send the person over, I’m ready for resuscitation here!"
"Okay, thank you!"
After speaking, the call was directly hung up. The two exchanged glances and immediately returned to the emergency room.
Although it was unclear how severe the heart attack was, preparations for resuscitation were needed.
"Sister Juan! Open up an emergency room, prepare the defibrillator and heart attack rescue medications! Quickly!"
Qin Feng rushed into the emergency room and happened to see the head nurse Liu Juan, immediately shouting loudly,
"Xiaoli, push a stretcher to the green lane entrance and wait. There’s a heart attack patient coming soon."
"Okay, going right away!"
Immediately, everyone started moving.
Qin Feng and Zhao Yitian stood at the entrance of the rescue room, waiting, both with serious expressions on their faces.
Now, it’s been almost 8 minutes since the man got into the car, and it would probably take around 5 minutes for the taxi to return.
Hopefully, the man’s heart attack wasn’t that severe, and there’s still hope for resuscitation.
Screech~
About 5 minutes later, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the emergency room.
"Quick! Save him quickly!"
The driver shouted loudly, and the nurses and Zhao Yitian had already rushed over, lifting the man, who was in severe pain and had lost consciousness, onto the stretcher.
Zhao Yitian flipped over and jumped directly onto the stretcher, straddling the man, and began pressing frantically on his chest, as two nurses frantically pushed the stretcher into the rescue room.
"Establish a venous channel, give it to me, quickly!"
Qin Feng took the instruments and directly opened a venous channel in the man’s arm, simultaneously inserting an indwelling needle,
"2ml of morphine injection (pain relief and sedation), 5ml of nitroglycerin injection (coronary artery dilation), quickly!"
Head nurse Liu Juan slowly injected the ready medications into the man’s body and then pushed over the defibrillator.
"Zhao Yitian, get down and prepare for angiography."
Qin Feng patted Zhao Yitian, then took the defibrillator handed over by Liu Juan,
"Charge to 500J, clear!"
Sizzle~
Boom!
The man’s body was directly jolted up, Qin Feng put the defibrillator aside, and continued pressing for cardiac resuscitation.
Two minutes later, the man still showed no response. Qin Feng picked up the defibrillator again.
"Charge to 600J, clear!"
Sizzle~
Boom!
The man’s body was jolted up and then heavily fell back down, continuing cardiac resuscitation!
...
Although he now wished to perform an interventional procedure on the man, given the current situation, it was simply impossible.
He wouldn’t even make it to the operating room before the man was gone!
So now, the only option was to dilate the blood vessels with medication and perform thrombolysis, while continuing uninterrupted cardiac resuscitation.
Gamble!
As long as the man regained vital signs, surgery arrangements could be made immediately, and he was confident he could bring the person back.
No matter what, a doctor’s duty is to save lives.
"Qin Feng, the angiography is ready!"
At this time, Zhao Yitian had already rushed back and immediately took over to continue pressing.
Qin Feng injected nitroglycerin and a thrombolytic agent into the man again.
If the man hadn’t left at that time and had listened to do an ECG, he wouldn’t have encountered any issues and would have survived long ago.
And now, whether he could survive depended on fate.
After fifteen minutes of continuous pressing, Zhao Yitian was drenched in sweat.
Sizzle~
Boom!
He performed the fourth defibrillation, then continued pressing...
Twenty minutes, still no signs of life...
Sizzle~
Boom!
The fifth defibrillation, added more medication.
Thirty minutes, still no vital signs...
"Qin Feng, give it up."
Watching the scene, Zhao Yitian’s face showed no expression, he grabbed Qin Feng’s arm and said in a deep voice.
Liu Juan and several other nurses showed similar regret and sighed deeply.
Beeeep~~~~~~~
Upon hearing these words, Qin Feng’s hand slowly released. He glanced at the man who wasn’t breathing, and then at the flat line on the monitoring device.
He knew the person was gone!
"We’ve done our best, don’t be sad."
Zhao Yitian helped him down, wrapped a comforting arm around him, and patted his back.
Perhaps Zhao Yitian understood that from the moment Qin Feng appeared at the city hospital till now, as long as he was in charge, no patient, despite critical situations, had died.
Even those severely injured after 48 hours without rest and performing 12 surgeries were surviving well till now.
Yet, this man who didn’t heed advice was the first...
Qin Feng didn’t speak, just shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I’m fine, don’t worry."
He understood, doctors are not omnipotent, despite being equipped with the world’s most advanced medical and surgical skills.
But when a patient refuses, a doctor can’t go against the patient’s wishes.
Maybe this is the case of good advice falling on deaf ears.
Half an hour later,
In the city hospital’s rescue room, three figures looked at the lifeless man before them, overwhelmed with agony and cried bitterly.
They were his parents and wife, and his wife even held a one-year-old child in her arms, looking around with curious big eyes.
The child didn’t know what had happened or who the man on the bed was.
However, Qin Feng and Zhao Yitian, standing at the door, couldn’t help but feel a bit sad witnessing this scene.
Their son, her husband, his father, at this moment, would never wake up again.
Even if this man had listened to Zhao Yitian’s words, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
Twenty-nine years old, just one year shy of thirty, but unfortunately, he would never have the chance.....
"Let’s go."
Qin Feng took a long look at the man, speaking in a deep voice.
The two of them walked away from the emergency room with heavy steps, and for some reason, their car ended up at a barbecue stall, instinctively picking up a case of beer.
They both wanted a drink~
This is the fate of being a doctor, witnessing life and death.
The only constant is the benevolent heart of a healer.
