Episode 4 recap: Lin Yi saves a critically ill patient in a race against time.
After Lin Yi's surgery last night, he couldn't help but admire Zhou Xiaofeng's abilities. Fang Xiaoran quickly called the cardiac surgery department, and coincidentally, Lin Yi was available. The current patient had a dissected aorta, so Lin Yi rushed over. Upon examination, Lin Yi confirmed that the patient indeed had a dissected aorta and needed immediate surgery.
However, performing surgery immediately without conducting the final examination was against the regulations. Lin Yi believed that saving the patient's life was the priority and requested to proceed with the surgery right away. Fang Xiaoran promptly informed Zhou Xiaofeng of the situation. Zhou Xiaofeng rushed over and advised Lin Yi that this judgment couldn't be considered a definite diagnosis, and they should wait for confirmation before proceeding with the surgery since opening the chest was a serious matter.
At this point, the patient's family also arrived. Zhou Xiaofeng and Lin Yi held differing opinions. Doing a CT scan now would definitely delay the procedure, but it would provide a definite diagnosis. On the other hand, not doing the scan would buy them time, but if the judgment was incorrect, it would undoubtedly harm the patient.
The patient's family was at a loss as to what to do. Lin Yi was determined, and as the surgical team prepared the instruments, they learned that no CT scan had been done. Everyone opposed proceeding without the scan, but Lin Yi stated that he would take responsibility if any problems arose. Zhou Xiaofeng informed Director Bai of the situation, and Director Bai informed the hospital president. The hospital president ordered Lin Yi to stop, but it was already too late. As soon as Dr. Jiang finished his lecture, he immediately called Lin Yi. The surgery was already in progress, and everyone held their breath, considering the patient was only twenty-eight years old.
The patient's heart rate rapidly declined, and brain oxygen deprivation had reached fifteen minutes. If it exceeded twenty minutes, the patient might become a vegetable. They could only rely on Lin Yi racing against time to complete the surgery within five minutes. Brain oxygen had already dropped to forty percent, and everyone held their breath. Fortunately, they succeeded in this life-saving effort, thanks not only to Lin Yi's skills but also some element of luck.
The hospital president called Lin Yi to his office and sternly reprimanded him. This time, Lin Yi had indeed violated the hospital's procedures. Lin Yi argued that he was risking his life to save others. Dr. Jiang stood by Lin Yi, apologizing on his behalf. After Fang Xiaoran returned home, she informed her mother about the situation. There were some discrepancies upon learning that no CT scan had been performed. It could be said that Lin Yi took a significant risk this time.
As a result of this incident, not only Lin Yi but also his entire team faced punishment, leaving Lin Yi feeling aggrieved. Fang Xiaoran tried to plead on Lin Yi's behalf, but the hospital president's decision was final.
Lin Yi went to plead with the hospital president, but the president's decision was final. Lin Yi realized that no matter how much he said, it wouldn't make a difference.
During a meal with Fang Xiaoran and colleagues, they discussed the risks involved in the recent incident. If the surgery had failed, Lin Yi might have ended up in prison. Fortunately, the surgery had a successful outcome, and Lin Yi had yet to face final punishment. Lin Yi visited the patient, who had just woken up and expressed deep gratitude to Lin Yi for saving their life.
To prevent others from feeling responsible for him, Lin Yi even gave money to his colleagues, but they returned it to him. Zhou Xiaofeng also learned about this and believed that it was clearly a gamble, while Lin Yi saw it as saving a life. Zhou Xiaofeng was about to be promoted to director, and that night he messaged Fang Xiaoran to inquire about the patient's condition, which made Fang Xiaoran very happy.
In reality, Lin Yi's brother had a hereditary heart condition. If Lin Yi didn't take good care of his own health, he could also become ill. That night, Lin Yi had a dream where he couldn't save a girl and woke up crying. Reflecting on the incident, Lin Yi felt a sense of fear, considering the numerous uncertainties at the time.
His brother comforted Lin Yi and advised him to accompany him while waiting for the blooming of the night-blooming cereus flower.
Mr. Yan comes into this ward, looks at this, looks at that. Mr. Yan: Is this your best room? Why are you complaining? Mr. Yan, you're here for treatment, not on vacation. And what's with your minuscule luggage and all those staff members?
Director Zhou was really taken aback!
You're really treating it like a vacation. Weren't you just lamenting your fate with aortic dissection in the car? It's not that serious according to the film.
I guess your wife must be in worse condition than you. It's really hilarious! After all, this is a public hospital, not a private one. If you're so wealthy, why don't you seek treatment abroad?
Director Lin hates being disturbed during his surgeries. Mr. Yan, you really bumped into the window and didn't get scolded! This rich guy has so many visitors while in the hospital, and they even brought sofas!
Director Lin has never seen anything like it, and neither have I. This rich guy is afraid of death, wants to get the tracheostomy done quickly, and then Dr. Zhou gives him some education. Rich guy, your blood vessels have calcification, they're narrow and twisted, and there are spots.
The chest tube can't be inserted because it's too painful.
Dr. Lin really doesn't want to waste his breath on this kind of person. He doesn't want to operate on this weirdo. Dr. Lin doesn't like official talk, and he actually has two surgeries to perform.
The only reason Dr. Lin came here is because of the face of the two leaders and his master. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time.
Dr. Bai, you're just rushing to flatter this rich guy because he has money and knows the dean of the medical school.
But have you ever thought about the condition of this rich guy's body? What if something goes wrong when you insert the tube? Have you taken responsibility for accidents? Xiaofeng! You've caused me to lose half of my performance!
Do you know that if I cure this rich guy's illness, do you know how many people will come here out of admiration? Then my department will have so many investment projects and research funds pouring in.
Let's be honest, it's all because they see he's rich. This rich guy's employees are so amusing!
This water is too cold. Let me warm it up for the boss. I wonder why you didn't bring a water heater.
In the face of reality's economy, any vows are feeble and powerless! Parents are individuals who have gone through the struggles of financial hardships, the ups and downs of practical life.
Even if they may not possess the same level of knowledge as their children, they surely have richer life experiences and wisdom! Their ability to judge people is likely to be more accurate than that of young children!
Love is never just about living together, so it's important to believe in the sincere and well-intentioned guidance and admonishment of parents!
