Chapter 819 Sudden bad news!
"Dr. Wu, a patient has an emergency. The initial diagnosis is myocardial infarction. Dr. Brian wants you to come over immediately for consultation~"

"OK, I'll come right away!"

Although it was already late at night, Wu Mingfan was still burning a lamp and writing medical records. When he heard the nurse's voice, he quickly got up and ran over.

After arriving at the emergency room, I saw a tall white man about 40 years old, wearing a white coat with a frown on his face. This man and I were both students of Professor Hoss. According to Chinese terms, they were brothers in the same discipline. .

Their common teacher, Professor Haos, is a senior professor at the Clinical Medicine Center and Radiation Imaging Center of the University of California, Los Angeles, and a famous cardiologist. He has published nearly 100 medical papers and participated in the editing of 8 medical monographs.

UCLA Health is a teaching hospital, and Brian had several students with him, but they couldn't give him any useful advice.

So I didn't dare to say anything at this time, for fear of being scolded by the teacher again, I stood there like a little quail, shrinking my head to reduce my sense of presence, not even daring to take a big breath.

Wu Mingfan here walked over and said hello.

"Master!"

"Hoo~" Brian turned around after hearing the sound.

Seeing that it was his junior brother who was coming, he forced a smile on his face and handed over the report sheet.

"Wu, you're here. The patient's problem is very difficult!"

"Three hours ago, I developed chest tightness, chest pain, dizziness and other symptoms at home. It was not a crushing feeling, but it was paroxysmal. However, it relieved itself after a few minutes~"

"I probably didn't pay attention at the time, but the chest tightness and chest pain recurred an hour ago, and got worse in a short period of time!"

"This time God did not stand on poor Kahn's side. There was no relief for 10 minutes. His family then chose to send him to the hospital. At the same time, he suddenly lost consciousness during the transport!"

Wu Mingfan also understands why. The main reason is that although the medical conditions are good here in the United States, medical treatment is too expensive. If there are no conditions at home, people with minor illnesses will not dare to come here casually.

"Brother, Mr. Kahn's aortic dissection has pericardial effusion and cardiac arrest. There is a great possibility that the aorta may rupture at any time. He may not be able to survive the operation~"

"Yes, whether he survives or not depends on God!"

Brian has been in clinical practice for nearly 20 years and has seen countless lives and deaths, but he still sighed.

There was nothing to do at this time. As the patient's chief surgeons, the two of them were standing here not just chatting, but waiting for the CTA results.

The United States is a country that attaches great importance to human rights. Despite their loose nature, there are some things that have special rules, especially in treating diseases and saving lives.

Even if you are a highly respected professor, you will be kicked out if you break the rules, because your success may be due to luck, but God cannot always be on your side!
Any mature doctor will never perform surgery directly because it is too dangerous.

Without cardiac color ultrasound and CTA examination results, it would be like a blind man walking on a single-plank bridge. There is not even a one-thousandth success rate. Who dares to go to the operating table like this? That is pure gambling. The success rate is better than a billion in the Mark Six Lottery. All low.

Preoperative examination is a necessary condition for surgery. If his condition is such that he is so anxious that he does not even have time for examination, then his body functions will definitely not be able to meet the minimum standards for surgery.

The final result may be that, unless you are the illegitimate son of God, even if you reluctantly undergo surgery, you will die on the stage, so preoperative examination is inevitable.

"Dong dong dong!" A young black doctor came over and knocked on the door, holding a report sheet in his hand and looking very depressed.

"Uh...Teacher Brian, Doctor Wu, you all should go back. Unfortunately, Mr. Kahn did not survive the examination, and his heartbeat has stopped now~" "Oh~" Wu Mingfan sighed, shook his head, and turned around Out of the emergency room.

This has happened a lot in the past few years. Not every patient will survive when they go to the hospital. Doctors are human beings, not gods. They can only steal a few back while the King of Hell is leaving a number.

After returning to the lounge, he continued to write medical records. Wu Mingfan, who was 19 years old, was already thirty years old. It only took five years to get a master's degree and a doctorate.

In 16, I applied to become an attending from the state government, and also passed the exam to obtain a professional certificate. I have been working at the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center for the next three years.

There is a big difference between here and China. After graduating from residency training, medical students in the United States can apply for a medical license, which is collectively called attending.

At this time, you can practice medicine independently, and there is no distinction between attending physician, deputy chief physician and chief physician, and clinical doctors do not need to undertake teaching and scientific research tasks.

Just treat patients and save people. There is no need to consider other professional titles and promotion issues. You can devote yourself to clinical services to patients.

Of course, this will cause a problem. If you are not a particularly awesome person, there will be no interns or residents to help you.

At most, you can only have a doctor's assistant or a nurse practitioner to assist with clinical work, but they will not help with chores.
So although Mr. Wu is now able to independently perform third-level surgeries, he is still a junior at UCLA Health and has to write even the medical records himself.

More than an hour later, after finishing writing the medical record, I stood up, stretched, yawned, and was about to take a nap. Before I could lie down on the single bed, I heard the sound of my iPhone 10s on the desk. Ringtones.

The theme song of Fast and Furious 15 released in 7, "seeYouAgain" is Wu Mingfan's favorite song recently.

"It's been a long time without your company, my old friend. When I meet you again, I will open my heart and tell everything..."

But he didn't appreciate it at this time, because it was a call from his mother, and his family rarely called him at night unless something serious happened.

"Hey, Mom, what's the matter?"

"Son... son, you... your grandpa suffered from heart failure this morning and died before being sent to the hospital. So... do you have time recently?"

Jiang Qi, now 54 years old, is a master in the field of obstetrics and gynecology in Dongjiang. He is the chief physician of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the People's Hospital. He is usually known for his calmness and rarely has such anxious moments.

But this time, my biological father passed away, so I shed tears when I talked to my son on the phone, and my words were a bit incoherent because I could always think back to my childhood.

When Wu Mingfan heard the bad news, his right hand holding the phone was shaking, and two lines of hot tears burst out instantly.

Although he grew up with his grandparents, he also had a deep affection for his grandfather. The old man was particularly humorous and fun. The grandfather and grandson often went fishing together in the pond of Dongjiang University.

After taking a deep breath, he choked and said: "Mom, I will book a flight ticket and return to China right away!"

"Son, mom just wants to inform you. After all, your grandpa loves you the most since you were a child. Your eldest uncle and second uncle mean that you don't have to come back because you are busy with work!"

"Mom, I have to give my grandpa a ride anyway, and I haven't been back for more than a year, so that's it!"

After a few words of comfort to his mother, Wu Mingfan hung up the phone.

Immediately, I contacted the director to ask for leave and bought the earliest flight back to China...
