Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital

Chapter 155: Electrocution by High-Voltage Line? Fall from a High Altitude? The Patient Who Miraculously Survived!


After a while, the takeout Tian Zhen ordered arrived. She took the takeout and went into the doctor's office.

"Dr. Zhao."

Tian Zhen placed the takeout on Zhao Heng's desk and said to Zhao Heng, who was seriously writing a paper.

"Okay, just leave it there. I'll eat it in a bit."

Zhao Heng looked up and said.

"Dr. Zhao, if you wait too long, it'll get cold."

Tian Zhen said.

"Alright then."

Hearing Tian Zhen's words, Zhao Heng felt a bit surprised, looked up at Tian Zhen, and then nodded.

After speaking, Zhao Heng stood up, went to the sink to wash his hands, turned around, and came back to open the takeout.

As soon as he opened it, Zhao Heng realized that the takeout was unexpectedly his favorite: extra-large sausage ham pineapple shrimp fried rice for the whole family.

This?

Zhao Heng couldn't help but glance at Tian Zhen.

How does she even know that he likes this?

"Dr. Zhao, eat it while it's hot. I also have some fried peanuts here."

Tian Zhen said, pulling out a can of fried peanuts from somewhere.

"Uh..."

This time, Zhao Heng was completely baffled.

Xu Man Ni's best friend, she's really something!

Whether it's the extra-large family-sized fried rice or the crispy fried peanuts to go with it, they both made Zhao Heng's appetite grow.

He rolled up his sleeves, sat down, and started to dig in.

Before long, Zhao Heng finished the fried rice rapidly, like a storm clearing the clouds, and let out a contented burp.

Seeing Zhao Heng's satisfied expression, Tian Zhen couldn't help but smile.

Man Ni, during this time you're not around, let me take care of Dr. Zhao for you!

Tian Zhen couldn't help but think to herself.

"How much was the takeout and the coffee from earlier? I'll transfer it to you."

Zhao Heng wiped his mouth and said to Tian Zhen.

Although everyone knew each other well, he couldn't just eat and drink without reciprocating.

"Next time, when we're together."

Tian Zhen smiled gently and said.

"Alright."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Aside from being able to cooperate seamlessly in surgeries and having strong professional skills, she's also great at taking care of daily life.

No wonder so many doctors were eager to work with Tian Zhen before.

At this moment, Zhao Heng couldn't help but think.

Just then, Sun Li came in from outside, hurriedly saying to Zhao Heng, "Dr. Zhao, there's a consultation needed in neurosurgery. Director Liu wants you to go in person."

"Alright, I understand."

Zhao Heng nodded.

Looks like there's another big job.

As soon as he heard it was a call from Liu Ziang, Zhao Heng knew there was a major task at hand!

After tidying up a bit, Zhao Heng got up and left the office, heading towards the neurosurgery department.

"Why didn't you think to order takeout for me too?"

Looking at Tian Zhen, who was tidying up the table, Sun Li jokingly complained with a hint of grievance.

"Alright, I'll order the La Mer essence water you have in your shopping cart tomorrow, happy now?"

Tian Zhen looked up and smiled at Sun Li, saying.

"That's better."

Hearing that, Sun Li nodded in satisfaction.

What's important isn't the essence water, but a friend's care!

Before long, Zhao Heng arrived at the neurosurgery office.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Heng saw the chief cardiothoracic surgeon, Jiang Rui, was also there, standing with Liu Ziang, discussing something.

Looking again at Liu Ziang and Jiang Rui, both of their expressions were very solemn.

What kind of patient requires Liu Ziang to call in Jiang Rui from cardiothoracic surgery?

From this scene, Zhao Heng had a premonition that he would certainly be pulling an all-nighter tonight.

"Senior, Dr. Jiang."

Zhao Heng entered the office and greeted Liu Ziang and Jiang Rui separately.

"Hmm, knowing you're on night duty, I'm reassured about the anesthesia part."

Seeing Zhao Heng had arrived, Liu Ziang nodded and said with some happiness.

No matter how skilled a surgeon is, assistance is always needed.

In Liu Ziang's mind, the best golden hand assistant was Zhao Heng.

"What exactly is the situation?"

Zhao Heng asked somewhat puzzled.

To gather both Liu Ziang and cardiothoracic surgeon Jiang Rui, what kind of patient is this?

"The situation is very complex, you could say that it's a miracle the patient is still alive."

Jiang Rui was the first to speak.

"Yes, in all these years, I've never seen a patient with such a strong will to live."

Liu Ziang nodded in agreement.

It would just be Jiang Rui's words, but even the wide-seeing, calm Liu Ziang said this, making Zhao Heng even more curious. What kind of extraordinary patient is this?

"Senior, stop keeping me in suspense..."

Zhao Heng said to Liu Ziang.

"Alright, I'll briefly explain the patient's condition, and then we'll go see the patient together."

Liu Ziang nodded.

"The patient is male, 46 years old, an electrician. Two hours before admission, while connecting a high-voltage line, he accidentally got electrocuted, fell from a height of 2.5 meters, landed on his head, and after the fall, the ambulance arrived quickly. When the ambulance arrived, the patient had already experienced cardiac arrest. The emergency response doctor on the ambulance performed CPR and revived him."

"Now the patient not only has severe craniocerebral trauma, but also myocardial enzyme levels three times above normal, which suggests that the high-voltage current burned myocardial cells when it passed through the heart."

Liu Ziang explained the situation of this critical patient in detail.

Hiss!

Upon hearing the introduction of the patient's condition, Zhao Heng felt his scalp tingle.

High-voltage electric shock, high fall, head landing, cardiac arrest and then revived, how tough is this guy's life to still be alive now?!

Not to mention, with just the high-voltage electric shock, most people are carbonized by the high-voltage current the moment they touch the line, where's the chance to make it to the hospital?

"The patient is a professional electrician and was wearing insulated protective gear. Otherwise, he would have been carbonized on the spot."

Seeming to notice Zhao Heng's astonishment, Liu Ziang explained.

"Echocardiography at the bedside found that the patient's heart valve was severely damaged, so a heart valve repair operation must be performed immediately. Otherwise, the patient could go into cardiac arrest at any moment."

Jiang Rui slowly explained his reason for being there.

"The most challenging part is that when the patient fell from a height, he landed on his head. He has severe craniocerebral trauma, with varying degrees of skull fractures and subarachnoid and subdural hemorrhage. This requires immediate craniotomy to clear the intracranial hematoma as well."

Liu Ziang continued from where Jiang Rui left off.

"Uh... does this mean I have to perform extracorporeal circulation on the patient while also protecting the brain?"

Zhao Heng got stuck for a moment, feeling his scalp tingling as he spoke.

The heart valve repair surgery Jiang Rui mentioned requires all the blood vessels connected to the heart to be connected to extracorporeal circulation. Once the surgery is completed, the heart valve is repaired, and they are reconnected.

However, under extracorporeal circulation, performing a craniotomy while ensuring intracranial blood circulation and oxygen supply is a challenge beyond imagination.

"Yes, Dr. Jiang and I discussed it and agreed that the only doctor who could handle anesthesia at this level was you."

"Cheer up, my junior."

Liu Ziang patted Zhao Heng on the shoulder and said, looking at him.
