Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1858: Not Tired
Feeling the disappearance of the carotid pulse and getting no response from the patient, Xie Wanying decisively opened the patient’s airway to perform artificial respiration. When she turned back to prepare for chest compressions, she found someone else was already assisting with it.
Vertical compressions, a very standard chest compression, exerting just the right amount of force, displaying experience worthy of a cardiologist. Upon closer inspection, Xie Wanying recognized the person as Teacher Chang, who was inseparable from Teacher Fu. No wonder his compressions were as professional as a cardiologist’s.
A standard and regulated chest compression, coupled with timely first aid, quickly and effectively revived the patient’s heartbeat.
Performing proper chest compressions is very tiring. When Chang Jiawei’s hands left the operating area, he was somewhat sweating heavily, shook his arms wanting to take off his outer coat. Following this, he noticed Xie Wanying turning her head and the pair of eyes fixed on him. In an instant, he couldn’t help but blurt out: "I’m not tired—"
Even Teacher Chang would get tired, which is normal, she would get tired too. Xie Wanying thought, knowing that the senior was preserving face, she cooperatively said: "I know, Teacher Chang, you’re just shaking the dust off your clothes."
Chang Jiawei felt as if he was jolted by electricity, shivering slightly: that joke was so cold, colder than the icy weather outside, freezing him straight into an ice person.
Single-minded Student Xie, telling cold jokes that could freeze people. Realizing this, as Chang Jiawei’s gaze fell on her face, a string of words floated in his mind: Truly an ice beauty. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Upon receiving the news, Doctor Zuo Liang came running over. Soon after, other medical staff arrived, pushing a stretcher to transfer the patient back to the ward for continued rescue efforts.
Du Haiwei, who was about to finish his shift, hurried back to the ward to join the rescue command.
The patient’s heart rate was restored, but consciousness had not yet returned. Things became more complicated. Doctor Zuo Liang, holding the phone, was uncertain about how to notify the patient’s family, and asked Xie Wanying, who was the first to appear beside the patient: "When did you notice her heart disease attack?"
Many cancer patients have poor cardiac function, something typical in older age and most commonly caused by atherosclerosis due to aging. Not all atherosclerosis leads to cardiovascular emergencies; it’s assessed by meeting a threshold indicator. Aunt Min didn’t have an infarction; previous hospital examinations didn’t show indicators of a potential heart attack. She didn’t even have high blood pressure.
On the contrary, cancer patients need to be more alert to sudden deaths caused by arrhythmias from suddenly increased heart rates. After surgeries, chemotherapy, and various treatments, cancer patients’ bodily functions weaken, making them more likely, when subjected to intense stimuli, to have a heart rate surge exceeding that of a healthy person. Therefore, doctors allow patients mild activity and diversion but never encourage strenuous exercise akin to that of healthy individuals, and they certainly advise against significant emotional fluctuations.
Doctor Zuo Liang was at a loss on how to explain to the family the patient’s current condition, and he needed a reason for the sudden heart disease because previous tests showed no heart disease.
Faced with the teacher’s question, the image of the person standing by the fire escape door appeared in Xie Wanying’s mind.
No matter what that person did or didn’t do, by calculating the time, it’s inferred that when the door was closed, they stood there watching Aunt Min suddenly collapse, essentially turning a blind eye.
