Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

Yue Wentong and Xie Wanying rolled up their sleeves. Yue Wentong knelt on the ground first to perform chest compressions on the patient.

Standing beside him, Xie Wanying watched the skillful movements of the class leader, recalling the time when he would only observe from the sidelines. Just as she had expected, the class leader had made rapid progress, not just from regular practice, but with a seasoned demeanor from clinical training. As she progressed, her classmates were also undergoing a transformation during their clinical internships, not to be underestimated.

The nurse placed a breathing mask on the patient's mouth and nose, connected it to a bag and rhythmically squeezed it, in sync with the doctor's chest compressions.

One compression, two compressions, three compressions...

Yue Wentong took a breath after one round, and Xie Wanying took over. When it was his turn to watch her effortless actions, he knew she was definitely the most incredible female classmate he had ever seen.

Most female students during clinical practice would be panting and sweating after doing a dozen compressions, yet she didn't find it the least bit strenuous. She was the kind that even the males were amazed by.

Like a relay race, the two medical students gave their all while performing chest compressions. Xin Yanjun's eyebrows were furrowed to the breaking point, knowing that this effort would be futile.

The driver from the ambulance arrived at the scene with an AED defibrillator to help out.

The defibrillator was connected to the patient, and the ECG showed a straight line. As several doctors had initially predicted in their hearts, the patient was already dead.

The prolonged beep was like the tolling of a death knell.

The teachers' faces turned pale.

The students seemed to recall a movie scene, exchanging horrified glances: Is this really happening?

"Doctor, how is it?" the female teacher asked, clinging to Xin Yanjun, her voice trembling.

Xin Yanjun shook her head at her, indicating: The patient was gone.

"But when you arrived, wasn't he still alive?" the female teacher's voice was full of a quiver.

The death of a student in the school is a huge matter, and all the teachers would be held accountable.

By the time they arrived, he was already dead. Only the doctors were aware of it, not the teachers. Xin Yanjun sighed in her heart.

The female teacher, upon hearing this from the doctor, suddenly realized they had waited too long for the ambulance.

The male teacher stood up and looked in the direction of the doctors, his expression taut to the extreme: What does this mean? Was it wrong to wait for the doctors to arrive?

It was wrong. For patients like the boy, he should not have been kept on-site waiting for an ambulance and doctors; he couldn't afford the delay, especially not in rush hour traffic. On the road, medical personnel saw that several major hospitals were closer to the school. If this young patient had been sent to the nearest hospital immediately, there might have been a slim hope of survival.

However, it's hard to say whether even that could have saved the patient because it was obvious that he suffered a massive myocardial infarction.

A massive myocardial infarction is when a large area of myocardial cells die together. Unlike ordinary myocardial infarction patients who may have one or several major blood vessels blocked, the myocardial cells have not died in large areas, just one region. When one region dies, it doesn't mean the entire heart can't function; the heart still has a breath to barely supply blood to other organs.

If all the myocardial cells in the heart die, the heart will definitely be completely paralyzed, and other organs will instantaneously lose the heart's blood supply. Brain cells, in particular, without a blood supply, will die quickly and irreversibly. Coincidentally, just like myocardial cells, once brain cells die, there's no turning back.

These things, school teachers, and students didn't understand. They thought that as long as the patient was breathing, waiting for the ambulance was enough, which was a severe misjudgment. Patients with massive myocardial infarctions can be terrifying; in one second, they may be fully conscious and talking to you, and in the next, they suddenly drop dead.
