Zheng Ren panicked when he heard Xie Yiren's hoarse sobs. His heart rate shot up to 145 beats per minute and his Blood Count almost rose ten centimeters above his height.
"Don't panic. What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Zheng Ren suppressed his discomfort and comforted Xie Yiren.
"Zheng Ren, Miao Xiaohua is dying. Come quickly!" In her panic, Xie Yiren had no time to think logically and methodically. She did not care whether Zheng Ren could understand her or not. She just kept crying.
Zheng Ren knew that Miao Xiaohua was Xie Yiren's best friend who was hospitalized. She had been hospitalized in the gastroenterology department of Sea City General Hospital with pancreatitis due to overeating.
It seemed like a few days ago, when they went to eat barbecued meat, they met Miao Xiaohua.
Was she not discharged? Why was she dying?
However, based on Xie Yiren's simple description, Zheng Ren knew that it was probably an illness and not some bizarre incident like kidnapping.
It was difficult to die from an illness in the hospital in time.
Currently, ventilators and other equipment were becoming more common in clinical settings. Even a dead person could breathe on a ventilator for three days.
"Tell me slowly. Where are you? I'll be there right away!" Although Zheng Ren was slightly relieved, he still wanted to get to the point.
"Gastroenterology …" Xie Yiren seemed to be on the verge of a mental breakdown. She forced out the address and burst into tears.
Zheng Ren rushed out of the emergency ward. When he passed by the doctor's office, he told Yang Lei to look after the house and call him if anything happened.
Regardless of whether Yang Lei had heard him clearly, Zheng Ren grabbed the phone and raced to the gastroenterology department in the second hospital while racking his brain to comfort Xie Yiren.
Was it an acute pancreatitis outbreak? Or some other illness? Zheng Ren's mind was filled with countless speculations as he tried to imagine what the illness was.
A few minutes later, Zheng Ren appeared in the gastroenterology department, panting.
The gastroenterology department had an emergency room because patients often vomited blood. At that moment, Xie Yiren was lying on the side of the bed in the emergency room, holding Miao Xiaohua's pale hand and sobbing.
The System panel in the upper right corner of Zheng Ren's vision was bright red, as if blood would flow at any moment.
Ruptured pancreatic pseudocyst bleeding, hemorrhagic shock.
Uh … It was a pancreatic pseudocyst!
Zheng Ren was stunned. This illness was uncommon.
The clinical characteristics of pancreatic pseudocyst are mainly based on the stage of acute or chronic pancreatitis.
Acute cysts manifested as fever, epigastric distension and tenderness, mass, abdominal distension, gastrointestinal dysfunction, etc. In severe cases, multiple complications could occur.
Chronic pancreatic pseudocyst usually occurs on the basis of chronic recurrent pancreatitis. When the size of the cyst is not very large, it mainly presents with symptoms of chronic pancreatitis, such as epigastric and back pain, fat digestion dysfunction, diabetes, and so on. Splenomegaly and upper gastrointestinal bleeding are the characteristics of this disease.
However, there was a special complication — intracapsular hemorrhage!
Miao Xiaohua was bleeding from a pseudocyst of the pancreas.
Because in pancreatic pseudocyst, many thicker blood vessels around the pancreas and upper abdomen often form part of the cyst wall.
For example, left gastric artery and vein, right gastric artery and vein, splenic artery and vein, etc.
The blood vessel wall was invaded by the activated pancreatic enzymes and infection, and it could suddenly rupture and bleed. The patient could suddenly have severe and persistent abdominal pain, the abdominal mass rapidly enlarged, and there were signs of stimulation, often showing symptoms of internal bleeding, and quickly entering a state of shock.
This was a life-threatening disease! In an instant, Zheng Ren's mind expanded. After a series of thoughts, his body automatically secreted a large amount of hormones. High-energy phosphate bonds in ATP crackled and snapped, providing energy, and his heart rate returned to normal.
He also entered the emergency treatment state.
The gastroenterology nurse had completed needle insertion and blood collection in a short period of time, displaying her strong professionalism.
By then, Miao Xiaohua's shirt had been cut open. No one cared what brand it was. What was more important than life?
The ECG monitor showed that the patient's blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and oxygen saturation had all fallen to critical levels.
"Venipuncture kit," Zheng Ren said in a low voice.
The gastroenterology nurse was startled and immediately reacted.
Because the patient was in hemorrhagic shock, the large needle could not find the vein. They had used a thin needle to barely establish a venous channel and maintain Miao Xiaohua's survival.
However, it was only a glimmer of hope. With such a thin needle, a blood transfusion would probably not even get a bag of red blood cells into the patient's body.
Hearing Zheng Ren's voice, Xie Yiren came back to her senses and turned around with tears in her eyes. When she saw that it was really Zheng Ren, she threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
She had witnessed her best friend collapse before her eyes.
From a lively, carefree young girl to a dying patient with a pale face.
The entire process had taken less than ten minutes. Xie Yiren had witnessed the entire process and was now completely devastated.
This was different from rescuing a patient. No matter how close they were to the patient, they could only empathize with them.
Fortunately, it was different. If the medical staff broke down like Xie Yiren during every rescue, many people would have died.
Fortunately, it was different. If the medical staff broke down like Xie Yiren during every rescue, many people would die.
Xie Yiren's deep trust in Zheng Ren comforted her at that moment. Zheng Ren's broad chest gave her an infinite sense of security.
"Ding dong ~ ~ ~"
After a long time, the System's mission notification sound from every floor inadvertently appeared in Zheng Ren's mind.
[Mission Details: Fulfill Xie Yiren's wish.
[Continuous Mission: Unbreakable Reliance]
[Mission Reward: Unlimited Charm]
[1. Passive Ability: Unlimited Charm] Every time he successfully completed a surgery, it was possible for him to gain the admiration of others, which in turn increased his charm. This Charm is related to tenacity and reliability.
[2. 100 skill points, 1000 experience points, and a golden treasure chest.
[Mission Time: 2 hours.]
Zheng Ren turned a deaf ear to the System's notification. His mind was racing as he contemplated how to pull Miao Xiaohua back from the brink of death, as if he had not heard the mission notification at all.
Moreover, she was in his arms now …
Zheng Ren did not say anything. He merely stroked Xie Yiren's furry head. He helped her to the wall and let her stand quietly. Immediately, he turned around, took the sterile gloves from the gastroenterology nurse, tore off the outer packaging and skillfully put them on.
"Open the deep venous catheterization kit," Zheng Ren said in a low voice as he approached Miao Xiaohua.
During a rescue, as long as someone gave medical advice, that person would be the backbone of the rescue. However, it was not easy to be the backbone. The person had to bear great pressure.
If the rescue was successful, everyone would be happy. If the rescue failed, the backbone would be the scapegoat.
Zheng Ren opened the sterile disposable kit and disinfected it with iodophor. He held the venous catheterization needle in his right hand and searched for the puncture point with his left.
During the rescue of nitrite poisoning, Zheng Ren had demonstrated his superb skills. At this moment, he was fully focused and hit the nail on the head.
