Check-in at the Hospital: The First Surgery Shocked the Nation!

Upon learning that the shift director tonight was Meng Dawei, he rushed to the office to chat with this teacher, whom he was indebted to, for a few moments.

As soon as he returned to the emergency department, he saw Liu Chang hastily packing things.

The head nurse and two young nurses were carrying emergency boxes, briskly walking towards the door, where an ambulance was parked outside.

An emergency!

"What's the situation?"

Qin Feng asked Liu Chang.

"Director Qin, we just received an emergency. A patient from the sports university is in bad condition, reportedly with severe chest pain."

Upon hearing this, Liu Chang quickly explained.

Chest pain?

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng immediately thought of the most probable acute conditions.

Myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, heart valve detachment, and other cardiovascular diseases...

The heart is the most vital organ of the human body, and any acute, severe symptoms can be life-threatening at any moment.

"Director Qin, I'm heading off now."

Seeing that the ambulance was ready and the nurse had already boarded, Liu Chang couldn't say much more and rushed to jump into the vehicle.

...

Beijing Sports University,

"Quick, quick, lower the person down."

In the infirmary, the school doctor instructed to place a boy wearing a basketball jersey on the bed.

The boy's face was full of agony, and he was clenching his chest tightly as if trying to dig into his flesh, his entire body soaked in sweat.

His vision was alternating between black and white, his mind was blurry with dizziness, and with urgent breathing, it was as if death was closing in step by step.

"Brother Peng, are you alright? Hold on!"

The nearby classmates were also extremely worried, continuously comforting,

"Doctor, please check him quickly, we've already called 120."

"Bring the oxygen over, hurry."

The school doctor quickly examined him, first giving the boy oxygen,

"Does anyone know when he started feeling the pain?"

"He had basketball practice today and came back late. Ten minutes ago, after washing up, he lay down on the bed and said his chest hurt.

At first, we didn't pay much attention, but then we noticed something was wrong and immediately called 120 and brought him here."

A nearby boy quickly explained.

"Can you hear me?"

After listening, the school doctor performed a brief examination and then asked the boy on the bed.

Boom~

During the treatment, the door of the infirmary was forcefully pushed open.

"Sun Peng!"

A middle-aged man rushed in, calling out to the boy on the bed, then turned to the doctor,

"Old Liu, how is he?"

"There might be a heart problem. I can't treat this here; he needs to be transferred to a hospital."

The school doctor shook his head with a heavy tone.

The middle-aged man watched as the boy's face grew paler, his heart sinking.

He was Sun Peng's head coach, and Sun Peng was the best center for the Beijing basketball team, already on the selection list for the national team.

The selection would be held next month, and if there were any problems now, he might miss this opportunity.

Although the sports university had specialized sports-related doctors, for sudden illnesses, especially those involving serious organs, they didn't have adequate measures.

After all, to treat the condition, you first need to know the cause.

And in the current situation, a CT scan was definitely needed.

As the seed player for the Beijing team, attending the Olympics or joining top foreign teams was Sun Peng's biggest dream.

And now, he was facing the greatest crisis of his life!

...

15 minutes later, the urgent sound of the ambulance approached from a distance.

"Here, here!"

A student had been waiting at the door, immediately waving when he saw the ambulance.

When the vehicle stopped, Liu Chang quickly led the team, pushing the stretcher toward the infirmary.

"Make way, make way!"

As he reached the bed, his face changed instantly,

"Sun Peng?"

Liu Chang's heart skipped a beat; the boy on the bed was all too familiar to him because this was his nephew,

"Doctor, what's his condition?"

The school doctor explained the whole process and examination findings to him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chang's expression grew even more grave.

If there's indeed a problem with the heart or cardiovascular system, it's seriously alarming.

"Everyone step aside, quickly lift him onto the vehicle to the hospital."

Sun Peng being a center and also a basketball player, had a height surpassing 2 meters.

The emergency stretcher couldn't even fit his legs, with a substantial portion of his calves exposed.

"Do an ECG, bilateral blood pressure, abdominal ultrasound, quickly!"

In the ambulance, Liu Chang immediately arranged for the nurse to operate, then looked at the boy,

"Sun Peng, Sun Peng, can you hear me!"

"Uncle..."

Sun Peng struggled to open his eyes, seeing the familiar face in front of him, and said faintly with a painful expression.

"You scared me to death, how are you feeling?"

"I can't... breathe, I feel like I'm dying~"

Sun Peng gasped desperately, speaking with difficulty.

"Don't talk anymore, just take deep breaths."

"Dr. Liu, the ECG."

At that moment, the ECG result came out.

Liu Chang took a look, immediately frowning heavily, and put on a stethoscope to listen to the heart sounds.

There was a notable diastolic murmur near the aorta, and also the arterial gunshot sound, indicating a possible issue with the aorta.

"Blood pressure."

"Left arm 120/80 mmHg, right arm 150/100 mmHg."

Bilateral blood pressure was asymmetric, with a 30mmHg difference, definitely abnormally severe.

Chest pain, difficulty breathing, high blood pressure discrepancies.

A CT is urgently needed!

"Doctor, please save Sun Peng, we beg you."

The accompanying coach couldn't help but plead anxiously.

"Notify the hospital, prep for a CT, prepare for cardiac surgery consultation."

Liu Chang nodded upon hearing this and immediately made arrangements.

Soon, the ambulance arrived at the hospital.

"Quick, move the patient!"

"Ready for transfer, 1, 2, 3! To the emergency room!"

Sun Peng was wheeled into the emergency room, and a bedside CT was pushed over.

"Quick, find the Director."

Liu Chang urgently prompted the nurse nearby.

Soon, Qin Feng hurriedly arrived with Zhang Qingquan.

"What's the situation?"

"Director, the patient has chest pain, here's the ECG."

Liu Chang quickly handed over the ECG.

Upon examining it, Qin Feng noted the instability in the waveforms but no severe issues, ruling out infarction.

"Let me check."

Qin Feng put on the stethoscope, listening around the chest area, and picked up the ECG again,

"Has he been given pain relief?"

"Medicines have been administered without effect."

Liu Chang nodded and quickly reported.

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng frowned even tighter.

It was only now that he noticed the boy's height was quite impressive, with a substantial part of his legs hanging off the bed. Definitely over two meters tall.

During the examination, he also noticed that Sun Peng's limbs were exceptionally long, to the point of being... rather extraordinary.

This wasn't just a well-proportioned body, but his arm span reached well below his hips.

"Director Qin, this is my nephew, a basketball player, is there anything wrong?"

Seeing Qin Feng's expression, Liu Chang hurriedly approached, whispering in tension.

"Your nephew?"

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, curious.

Seeing him nod, the gaze then shifted back, observing Sun Peng on the bed closely.

If not an infarction, there's likely another condition.

"Is the CT done? Has the cardiac surgeon arrived?"

"CT is underway, the doctors are here."

"Add an aortic angiography, prep blood supply, inform cardiac surgery for a consultation; your nephew's condition might be precariously serious, notify the family, it could be an aortic dissection."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, speaking with a grave tone.

He now strongly suspected another condition: aortic dissection!

Aortic dissection?

Upon hearing this, Liu Chang was stunned, his face turning pale.

"10% glucose, 100mg sodium nitroprusside, 0.5mg propranolol, initiate rapid IV drip."

Qin Feng glanced at the monitor's parameters and immediately instructed.

The paramount concern now was to reduce cardiac compression, stabilize the vascular wall—if the aorta ruptures, even the gods can't save him!

Soon, the CT and angiogram were brought to the consultation room.

Upon seeing the angiography, everyone fell silent.

Through the contrast agent, the location of the aortic dissection was clearly visible.

What furrowed everyone's brow was the extremely dangerous position of Sun Peng's aortic dissection.

Ascending aortic dissection!
