章 6: Chapter 6: Just signed and then dropped dead?
Half an hour later, Li Guotai walked out of the treatment room looking somewhat fatigued.
A group of people immediately gathered around him.
"Director Li, how is Wu Bin's condition?"
Li Guotai paused for a moment before speaking:
"I have never encountered such a peculiar patient."
Peculiar?
Hearing Li Guotai say this, everyone was stunned.
He Bingbing asked, "Director Li, why do you say that?"
Li Guotai explained:
"Through examination, we found that all of Wu Bin's physiological indicators are very low. Because of low blood oxygen, many of his body functions have already developed issues, and his entire body is on the verge of collapse."
"Moreover, his heart condition is very serious."
"The blood vessels that supply blood to the heart are called coronary arteries. There are mainly three coronary arteries in a person: the anterior descending artery, the circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery."
"Generally, patients with heart attacks have blockages in one of these arteries, and it's rare for two to be blocked."
"But Wu Bin is different."
At this point, Li Guotai's expression grew even more peculiar.
He Bingbing quickly pressed for more details.
"What exactly is different?"
Li Guotai paused for a moment before continuing:
"Wu Bin's arteries, all three are blocked."
"But not blocked simultaneously, instead intermittently and unpredictably."
Li Guotai added, "I know what I'm saying might defy common medical knowledge, but this is the fact, so I am also quite puzzled."
Hearing this from Li Guotai, the crowd suddenly understood why he looked so exhausted.
If one imagines the heart as a city, then the coronary arteries are the ring roads around the city.
The only highways into the city are these three.
A blockage in any of these arteries can lead to vast areas of myocardial ischemia, damage, or even necrosis, causing the patient to suffer a myocardial infarction.
Thus, for ordinary people, the blockage of one artery is already grounds for issuing a critical condition notice.
But Wu Bin's three arteries were taking turns blocking as if playing a game!
Eh, not killing you all at once, just taking turns, keeping the doctors baffled.
"So Director Li, does the hospital have a treatment plan for Wu Bin now?"
Li Guotai nodded.
"Since Wu Bin's condition is so unique and critical, we just held an emergency discussion in the treatment room."
"We believe that Wu Bin urgently needs to undergo heart bypass surgery."
Hearing Li Guotai say this, the live broadcast room erupted.
"My goodness, it's gotten serious now, going straight to heart bypass surgery."
"Why don't I understand this, is there a medical expert who can explain?"
"Simply put, it means that all three highways are problematic, so an artificial highway is constructed directly to the heart."
"This surgery has very strict conditions, it's not something you can just decide to do."
Xu Wenyao and others didn't understand this, luckily Li Guotai was patient enough to explain it to them.
But after this explanation, Yang Kang and Xu Wenyao felt the situation was even more complicated.
Xu Wenyao asked in a grave tone: "Director Li, all of Wu Bin's medical expenses can initially be covered by our school."
"You don't need to worry about the costs at all, whether it's bypass surgery or whatever, we don't understand; we just know one thing, use the best for Wu Bin, and don't try to save money."
Li Guotai gave a rueful smile.
"Saving money? You think too highly of me."
"Didn't I just say, Wu Bin's three arterial vessels are intermittingly blocked, we initially suspect that it's due to vasospasms, that's why such a situation arises."
"Assuming the worst scenario, these three arteries are unusable."
"So, we not only need to perform heart bypass surgery on him, but also simultaneously on three arteries, not just one."
Yikes!
Hearing Li Guotai say this, everyone gasped.
Three grafts at once?
Isn't that outrageous?
Seeing Xu Wenyao's troubled expression, Li Guotai reassured him, "President Xu, don't be too worried. Heart bypass surgery is a major operation, but its success rate is above 97%. Generally, there shouldn't be any major problems."
Xu Wenyao sighed in relief.
"But..."
"Wu Bin's blood oxygen saturation is too low right now, it's just under 70."
"The likelihood that he won't make it off the surgery table is high."
Xu Wenyao was stunned, his mind a mess.
"Director Li, didn't you just say that the success rate of the surgery is 97%? How come now you're saying he might not make it off the surgery table?"
Li Guotai said awkwardly, "The success rate for the bypass surgery is indeed high, but given Wu Bin's physical condition, I'm afraid he won't hold out until the surgery is completed."
"Let me put it to you this way, with a blood oxygen saturation around 70, a person could live for about a day."
"If the blood oxygen saturation goes below 40, they generally have just three hours left to live."
Li Guotai took a document from a nurse's hand.
"If we decide to go ahead with the surgery now, then someone needs to sign here."
"Who will it be?"
Looking at the surgical document, everyone fell silent.
This document was not easy to sign.
With a signature, one would be fully responsible for the surgery.
But Li Guotai had already made it clear.
Wu Bin's blood oxygen saturation was very low, and he had very little time left.
If they waited for a family member to come and sign, the person could be sent directly to the morgue.
Everyone turned their gaze to Xu Wenyao.
At this moment, the cameraman gave Xu Wenyao a close-up of his facial expression.
"I'll sign."
Xu Wenyao took the pen and immediately signed the document.
"Director Li, please arrange the surgery for Wu Bin as soon as possible."
With the signature in place, Li Guotai didn't waste any words. He put on his mask and turned to enter the treatment room.
However, just as he opened the door, a shrill cry from a nurse echoed from inside the treatment room.
"Director, the patient's blood oxygen saturation is only 20 now!"
What!
It's only 20 now!
Are you joking with me!
Li Guotai hurried into the treatment room and immediately arranged the surgery.
Outside the treatment room, there was a deathly silence.
Xu Wenyao's face was ashen, his right hand trembling like a chicken claw just after signing.
The live broadcast room was filled with symbols of prayers.
"Pity the president for a minute, just signed and then the person is gone."
"Isn't it too early to conclude now, even Director Li hasn't said it's hopeless."
"Brother, do you know what a blood oxygen saturation of 20 implies? Let me put it this way, just as the preparations for the heart bypass surgery were completed, the person could have been directly sent to the morgue."
"Such a fine young student, just scared to death like that."
"Now the counselor and the school leaders are done for too, both are probably going to be jailed."
Beep.
The red light at the door of the treatment room lit up, the words "In Surgery" seemed particularly glaring.
Xu Wenyao joined his hands together, sincerely praying for Wu Bin's success.
He made a vow in his heart.
If Wu Bin's surgery was successful, he would definitely treat Wu Bin like his own son from then on!
