Chapter 851: Snatching Someone from the Grim Reaper’s Hands 2
After getting off the car, Si Mingjing rushed straight to the Stroke Center Building. In the corridor at the entrance of a certain operating room, she saw members of the Su Family, including Su Cheng, his two elder brothers, and Su Cheng’s parents.
"Mingjing, you’re here."
Su Cheng’s mother, Qin Yinan, stood up and held Si Mingjing’s hand, pointing to the operating room and said, "He was just pushed in three minutes ago. The doctor said it’s very critical and they are trying to save him inside."
Si Mingjing’s heart was also in suspense.
She knew that in rescuing cerebral infarction patients, Western medicine had an absolute advantage over traditional Chinese medicine.
Among patients with stroke, 60% to 80% are cerebral infarction patients. When cerebral infarction occurs, nerve cells may suffer irreversible necrosis within a few minutes of ischemia.
Therefore, the earlier thrombolytic therapy is administered within 3 hours of onset, the fewer nerve cells become necrotic, and the lower the patient’s risk of disability.
International standards stipulate that the time from a cerebral infarction patient entering the hospital to starting intravenous thrombolysis should be controlled within 60 minutes as much as possible. If a patient arrives at the hospital but doesn’t receive thrombolytic drugs within 60 minutes, the mortality rate increases by 28%. Therefore, to seize the 28% chance of survival, targeted treatment must be administered within 60 minutes.
Research shows that intravenous thrombolysis treatment can not only alleviate symptoms within 24 hours but also promote brain function recovery, reduce the proportion of patient disabilities, and save the patient’s life.
However, in reality, most family members of patients only remember to send the patient to the hospital as soon as possible after the cerebral infarction occurs. But they don’t understand which hospital they should take them to.
Many patients are sent to nearby hospitals or to hospitals where the family has acquaintances, but these hospitals may not have thrombolysis conditions, nor do they necessarily have a rapid emergency mechanism for acute cerebral infarction patients, and the patient’s vital rescue time is often wasted on registration, queuing, taking scans, and transferring through multiple departments, rapidly losing the opportunity for thrombolysis treatment, and the risk of disability and loss of life becomes greater and greater.
But the Third Hospital is different. The Third Hospital is an alliance hospital of the Stroke Center in A Country, with a complete and comprehensive emergency plan for stroke patients.
Every patient sent to the Stroke Center will have an experienced professional stroke team responsible, composed of emergency physicians, a 24-hour stroke group, neurology specialists, rehabilitation therapists, and many other professionals. Each member of the stroke team must undergo multiple reviews from experience to skills and training.
Each of them diagnoses and treats at least 100 cerebrovascular disease patients per year, meaning they treat one patient every 3 days.
All this was told to her by Mo Yinhe on the way to the hospital.
Si Mingjing comforted Qin Yinan and the other members of the Su Family present: "Aunt, I heard that the Third Hospital is the best stroke center in the Imperial Capital, especially the cerebrovascular department, which gathers top experts in the country. With the best doctors saving Grandpa Su, he will definitely be alright."
It’s precisely because the Third Hospital is the best in the country for cerebrovascular conditions, so the Su Family decided to send Grandpa Su to the Third Hospital.
Su Cheng paced back and forth at the entrance of the operating room, making Su Cheng’s father’s eyes hurt and become more agitated. He shouted, "Stand still, don’t move! Your pacing is making me anxious!"
Su Cheng immediately stopped pacing and stood beside Si Mingjing, saying, "Si sister, if you were to treat him, would you be confident? I remember a girl with cerebral palsy last year caused a scene at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic, but it was you who cured her. Don’t you have unique research in this field?"
Although Grandpa Su always knocked him with a cane, Su Cheng was actually very filial, afraid that when the operating room door opened, the doctor would bring some bad news, he placed his hopes on Si Mingjing, everyone said she was the Divine Doctor, any illness in her hands could turn danger into safety.
Their lineage has a tradition of deaths from cerebral hemorrhage.
For example, Grandpa Su’s father and Grandpa Su’s grandfather passed away due to cerebral hemorrhage.
Such a tradition made Su Cheng’s heart sink into despair, fearing that Grandpa Su might not make it.
Si Mingjing said, "That was my senior’s clinic."
"Yes, yes, yes, that’s right. So your skills are better than Western medicine. I regret it, you should have been waited on sooner!"
At that time, Western medicine had no solution for the cerebral palsy girl, but Mingjing showed the world how amazing her medical skills were, Su Cheng would rather have Si Mingjing perform the rescue on Grandpa Su.
"Si sister, why don’t the two of us go into the operating room now, if the surgeons inside have no way, then you step in, time is life, we can’t wait any longer!" Su Cheng said, "I’m afraid Grandpa Su won’t hold on."
Qin Yinan also said, "Yes, you and Mingjing go in and decide based on the situation."
Si Mingjing patted Su Cheng’s shoulder twice, she knew Su Cheng was anxious, but mistrust towards doctors and allowing other doctors to intervene are the biggest taboos in medical practice, she did not think the doctors in the operating room were incapable, they should trust the doctors more.
"Su Cheng, let’s wait a bit longer."
"Wait for what, if we keep waiting..."
Si Mingjing kicked Su Cheng’s leg, stopping him from saying anything ominous!
Actually, she was also worried, not unresponsive, but out of trust for her peers, she forced herself to resist the impulse to rush into the operating room, knowing that she was not the only doctor in the world, in fact, there are many excellent Western doctors.
At least for now, people commonly go to Western hospitals when sick, whereas seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor is more of a niche choice.
"Are you really not going to go in with me, hasn’t Grandpa Su been good enough to you?"
Su Cheng was emotionally stirred, almost accusing her of heartlessness!
Mo Yinhe arrogantly stood beside him, exerting certain pressure on Su Cheng, making him swallow the rest of his words, his worried eyes tightly fixed on the operating room door, anxiety written all over his face.
Si Mingjing also waited quietly.
Her black pupils unknowingly turned into golden color, she activated her Clairvoyant Eyes, attempting to see the situation inside the operating room. It was evident that the doctors inside were dedicated and trying their best to save Grandpa Su.
Time moved slowly as if a turtle was crawling.
A full two hours felt like two days passing. Just as everyone’s patience reached its limit, the operating room door finally opened, and a surgeon in a white coat walked out, looking towards the family members in the corridor.
The Su Family members, whether standing or sitting, all rushed up.
Su Cheng moved the fastest, immediately rushing to the front of the doctor, nervously asking, "Doctor, how is my grandfather?"
The surgeon said, "The situation has stabilized, there’s no immediate life hazard anymore, but..."
"But what?" Su Cheng’s father also nervously pursued the question further.
