Chapter 723: You Come In With Me
The entire Yebai People's Hospital was in motion.
At first, they thought it was just an ordinary patient.
It wasn't until that call from Zheng Qian came in that the President, who was at home preparing to rest, rushed to the hospital. Fortunately, he lived in the staff residential area, so it only took him ten minutes to run over. He immediately began making arrangements, mobilizing every resource he could.
The President's name was Wei Haicheng, and he was a liver tumor specialist in the province.
However, this kind of acute myocardial infarction was different; it was a matter for the Cardiology Department. Although he could not personally perform the surgery, he could still coordinate the efforts.
There was basically no time for a multi-departmental consultation, so Chairman Xu Chengye was rushed into the operating room.
Simply because it was too urgent!
It was a race against death!
"How is the situation? Are the patient's chances high?"
Wei Haicheng went straight to the outside of the operating room and happened to see Director Tao from the Emergency Department.
Director Tao shook his head, "I just arrived, too. I just finished a surgery on another patient. Deputy Director Wang from Cardiology has gone in; let's hope he can be saved. I just looked at the medical records, and to be honest... it doesn't look very optimistic. The patient's heart is too weak."
"There is almost... no blood pressure. It's very difficult to handle."
Wei Haicheng's heart sank.
He wished he could be the one lying inside instead of Chairman Xu Chengye.
Although he wasn't an expert in this field, he understood the logic. Hearing what Director Tao said, it was highly likely that Chairman Xu Chengye might not even have an EKG reading anymore. Being sent in under such conditions meant there was a high probability that he wouldn't make it off the operating table.
It wasn't that Wei Haicheng was afraid of Zheng Qian; he was naturally a very responsible person.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be living in the hospital's staff residential area; if it were anyone else, they would have long since moved to the city's villa district to enjoy life.
Living in the residential area was so he could rush to the hospital the moment an emergency occurred.
The reason he was so worried was because of Zheng Qian's investment in the hospital.
Some time ago, the [Hua Tuo Model] achieved a shocking breakthrough. Several of the country's top hospitals, such as Zhongnan Xiangyuan Hospital, Shanghu Ruixin Hospital, and Shanghu Changshan Affiliated Hospital, all announced strategic partnerships with the Qianlu Research Institute.
They began fully introducing the [Hua Tuo Model].
As Zheng Qian's hometown, Yebai certainly couldn't be left behind.
Zheng Qian also brought the [Hua Tuo Model] to Yebai People's Hospital as a pilot project, and in the first phase, he directly sponsored the hospital with 500 million for special research, with more funds to be transferred later. This was simply too important.
Wei Haicheng was sincerely grateful to Zheng Qian, so when he heard it was his father-in-law who had the accident, he rushed over immediately.
"Damn it, Deputy Director Wang? Wang Chenglin? He's not capable enough! Where is the Head Director?"
Upon hearing it was Wang Chenglin, Wei Haicheng became even more anxious.
"The Head Director is currently in surgery; we can't just pull him off the operating table! The main issue is that several experts from relevant departments are in surgeries, and they won't be finished for a while, so we had no choice but to let Wang Chenglin take over!"
Director Tao was also helpless.
How should one put it regarding Wang Chenglin? He was mainly just too young. Although he had high academic credentials as a doctor from abroad, he had reached this position through connections. His actual surgical experience was not rich enough, but he was barely passable; he wasn't exactly a quack.
Regardless, he certainly understood hearts better than Wei Haicheng and the others.
"What about the experts from the province? Liu Cunsheng and the others—call everyone who can come!"
Wei Haicheng couldn't help but say, frowning.
Director Tao hesitated, then sighed and said, "What's the use of calling them? They are too far away. Even if they rushed over, the patient might not hold on... But I still made the calls; I just don't know if they'll make it in time. Even I have a surgery coming up immediately, otherwise I would have gone in! That patient is being brought over, and the situation is equally critical!"
Just then, Zheng Qian and Xu Shuyun rushed over.
Her soul was practically flying away at this moment.
If not for Zheng Qian supporting her the whole way, Xu Shuyun would have likely collapsed on the floor.
She hated herself immensely. She had been so preoccupied just now... she hadn't even answered these crucial calls. If—if her father didn't make it through the night, she was destined to hate herself for the rest of her life.
"Doctor, Doctor, how is my father?"
Xu Shuyun gripped Wei Haicheng's hands tightly and asked anxiously.
Looking at the red light above the operating room, her heart beat wildly, and her hands were ice-cold.
Wei Haicheng managed to squeeze out a smile and patted Xu Shuyun's shoulder, "Don't worry, our hospital is not bad. Director Wang has already gone in with the experts. Believe that it will be fine; please... trust us. We have also called for experts from the province."
Zheng Qian, on the other hand, was asking about Chairman Xu Chengye's actual condition.
Hearing it made him knit his brows tightly.
On the way, he had learned that Chairman Xu Chengye had been brought in for an acute myocardial infarction, so while driving, he had been frantically purchasing relevant medical knowledge from the system store. He had already crammed quite a bit when building the [Hua Tuo Model], and this was another huge expense.
So, when he listened to Director Tao describe the condition, he appeared very worried.
However, he felt there was still a lot of hope.
"The EKG shows an acute inferior wall myocardial infarction, and the patient has obvious difficulty breathing, so ventricular fibrillation is very likely to occur. We must perform defibrillation, insert a temporary pacemaker, and puncture the artery... However, with the help of a contrast agent, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"As long as the blocked blood vessels are opened in time... but we might end up needing a coronary artery bypass graft. How long has he been in?"
Zheng Qian nodded slightly, having a rough idea in his mind.
This statement left Director Tao very surprised.
President Zheng actually understood medical knowledge this well? He could rattle off relevant information so easily?
However, this wasn't the time for professional flattery. He looked at the time and pondered, "About... 35 minutes."
35 minutes? Zheng Qian's heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again.
After so much time had passed, had it still not been cleared?
"What do you think? Qian, I... I'm so scared..." Xu Shuyun, who was usually a strong businesswoman, looked like a weak, helpless little girl, leaning into Zheng Qian's arms, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Zheng Qian comforted her, "Don't worry, this kind of heart attack is treatable. It's not an incurable disease. Trust our doctors; they will definitely be fine."
"Thank you... Qian... having you with me at a time like this... I, I am really so scared..."
Xu Shuyun gripped the clothes on Zheng Qian's chest tightly, her eyes full of tears.
Zheng Qian held her in his arms and gently stroked her hair.
But his ears were straining to catch the sounds from inside the operating room.
Behind the door they were at, it wasn't directly the operating room; there were many doors and rooms in between, including sanitary transition rooms, sterile supply rooms, and so on. But do not forget, Zheng Qian had a 5A panel, plus infinite growth potential.
He could vaguely hear the conversation coming from inside, and the more he listened, the darker his expression became.
"Ventricular fibrillation! Ventricular fibrillation!"
"Deputy Director Wang, you cannot panic! If you panic, what are we supposed to do?"
"Quick! Director Wang's hands are shaking; nursing team, step in! Perform defibrillation as soon as possible!"
"It's really not working. Let's get Director Tao from the Emergency Department to come over..."
"But he has a surgery! It's probably already started!"
"Oh no! The patient is allergic to the contrast agent! This... his breathing is becoming even more difficult..."
"It's over, it's over! An allergy to the contrast agent means we can't see inside the blood vessels. What do we do..."
"Director Wang, how do we handle a contrast agent allergy?"
"I... I don't know..."
"Quick! Quickly use the [Hua Tuo Model]! It might know!"
"But we don't know how to use it... only the Head Director knows how... Let's just stabilize the patient's breathing first!"
It seemed the situation was more than just serious!
And it was very clear that everyone outside the operating room did not know the actual situation inside.
Damn it. Hearing Director Wang's panicked state, Zheng Qian was filled with rage and wanted to go in and kill him. How did such a person become a Deputy Director of a department? How could he not handle even the slightest emergency?
The deadly part was... Zheng Qian also realized that it was necessary to provide broader training on the use of the [Hua Tuo Model].
It was currently still too complicated.
But since there was this model in the operating room, it was manageable. There was still a chance!
"Baby, you go rest over there for a moment."
Zheng Qian handed Xu Shuyun to a nurse and hurried toward Wei Haicheng.
He said with a grim expression, "The situation inside is critical. Director Wang doesn't even know how to handle the patient's contrast agent allergy. He can't handle it; come inside with me."
Wei Haicheng: ???
He really wanted to say that he truly didn't know how.
And, how did you know the situation inside with Director Wang?
But he didn't dare to ask, and followed Zheng Qian inside. The nurse originally wanted to stop them, but seeing Wei Haicheng's look, she didn't ask more questions. Instead, she cooperated fully with the pre-operative preparations: disinfection, changing clothes, and scrubbing in, all in one go.
This was why he had to bring Wei Haicheng inside.
Quickly finishing the preparations, the two of them walked into the operating room.
He scrubbed his hands with extra force, praying deeply in his heart that when he stepped into the room... he hoped the person was still there.
