A patient named Zhang Bingxian was holding his chest, his face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans were oozing from his forehead. He was rushed to Dongli Hospital by his family.

Lin Yi, who was on duty today, took the patient and quickly performed a preliminary examination on him, with a frown on his face and a serious expression.

"The patient has severe chest pain and significant blood pressure fluctuations. We highly suspect type A aortic dissection. Further examination is necessary immediately," Lin Yi decisively told his assistant Zhang Zhan. He felt the patient's condition was extremely urgent. "Put him through the green channel and arrange for a CT angiogram immediately. The operating room should be prepared and on standby at any time."

"Yes! Director Lin." Zhang Zhan nodded and quickly pushed Zhang Bingxian out of the clinic.

Then Lin Yi called Jiang Junling, "Director Jiang, there's a patient suspected of having aortic dissection. The condition is critical. I recommend that I perform surgery immediately."

Jiang Junling pondered for a moment before making arrangements. "Lin Yi, you need to be in attendance today. Let Su Ning handle the surgery! He's experienced and can handle this type of surgery with confidence."

Lin Yi was immediately displeased when he heard this. "Director Jiang, I have performed many aortic dissection surgeries with a very high success rate. This patient's condition is complicated, so I think it would be more appropriate for me to perform the surgery."

However, Jiang Junling said in a firm tone, "Lin Yi, I know your abilities very well, but you have outpatient duties today and cannot delay other patients. You also know Suning's skills, so there's no problem leaving it to him."

Lin Yi wanted to argue again, but Jiang Junling had already hung up the phone.

He clenched his fists, feeling unwilling, but he could only sigh helplessly.

At the same time, Suning had received the notification and rushed to the operating room.

He first went to the family waiting area and met Zhang Bingxian's wife and daughter.

Su Ning explained the condition to them in detail in a calm tone.

"Mr. Zhang's condition is very dangerous. The preliminary diagnosis is aortic dissection, a disease with an extremely high mortality rate. Once a blood vessel ruptures, the consequences are disastrous. Surgery is the only treatment method, but the risks are also great. Accidents such as massive bleeding and cardiac arrest may occur during the operation." Suning's tone was calm, but every word hit the nail on the head.

Zhang Bingxian's daughter was terrified but couldn't help but question, "Director Su, a few days ago, Dr. Zhou diagnosed my father with coronary syndrome and only kept him in the hospital for one day for observation. How did he suddenly become so seriously ill?"

Suning, however, smiled and explained, "Aortic dissection develops very quickly, and there may be huge changes in just one or two days.

Dr. Zhou's diagnosis was based on the symptoms and examination results at the time and was not necessarily a suspected misdiagnosis.

However, after the surgery, we will discuss this with the hospital and give you a detailed response."

Although Zhang Bingxian's daughter was still nervous, Su Ning's calmness and composure gave her a little comfort.

She took a deep breath and nodded, "Director Su, please! You must save my father."

Suning smiled slightly, "I will do my best."

The atmosphere in the operating room was tense and orderly.

Suning stood in front of the operating table, his eyes focused, the scalpel in his hand as steady as a rock.

Especially when the scalpel cuts open the skin on the chest, there is no bleeding. This is an ability that only top masters have.

When he opened the patient's chest, he found that the pericardium was filled with blood and the situation was more serious than expected.

However, Suning was not at all panicked. He calmly cleared the blood and repaired the ruptured blood vessels, with every step being precise and accurate.

Outside the operating room, Cui Jing, Jiang Junling and Lin Yi watched the entire operation through the monitoring screen.

Cui Jing couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Director Jiang, Director Lin, Su Ning's skills are truly impeccable. He can perform such a complex surgery with such ease."

Jiang Junling also nodded in agreement, "Yes! His calmness and precision are indeed rare to see."

"..."

Even Lin Yi, who had always been unwilling to admit defeat, had to admit Suning's strength at this moment.

He silently looked at the operating room separated by a glass wall, and a feeling of admiration for Suning arose in his heart.

After the operation, Zhang Bingxian was sent to the intensive care unit.

Su Ning took off his surgical gown and came to Fang Xiaoran, who was in charge of the intensive care unit, and gave her a detailed introduction to the patient's postoperative condition.

"The patient's vital signs are stable after the operation, but he still needs to be closely monitored. The blood accumulation in the pericardium has been cleared, and the vascular repair was also successful."

"Thank you for your hard work, Director Su! Your skills are truly admirable."

"Thank you for the compliment! Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together?"

Fang Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and agreed, "Okay, I also have some questions I want to ask you."

"See you after get off work tonight."

"Ah."

However, just as the two were about to get off work, Zhang Bingxian's daughter suddenly came to the hospital to complain about Zhou Xiaofeng's misdiagnosis.

She was very emotional and accused Zhou Xiaofeng of not discovering her father's illness in time, which led to the worsening of the condition.

It turned out that Lin Yi said a lot of sensitive words to Zhang Bingxian's daughter, which resulted in Zhang Bingxian's daughter confirming that it was a misdiagnosis.

……

Dongli Hospital conference room.

The principals were all discussing the case, and Cardiology Director Bai Ji immediately stepped forward to explain, "Director Cui, the patient's examination results at the time were indeed coronary syndrome. He also concealed his symptoms of tearing pain in his back and voluntarily requested discharge. Before being discharged, he did not have any symptoms of aortic dissection. Director Zhou Xiaofeng's diagnosis was correct."

Lin Yi said coldly, "Even so, Director Zhou should have been more cautious. The risk of aortic dissection is so high, how can you easily discharge the patient?"

Zhou Xiaofeng was furious when she heard Lin Yi's accusation. "Lin Yi, what do you mean? The test results and symptoms at the time all supported my diagnosis. Am I going to force the patient to stay in the hospital?"

The two of them were arguing with each other.

Cui Jing and Jiang Junling looked at each other with frowns.

Cui Jing suddenly looked at Su Ning, who had been silent the whole time, and asked, "Suning, you were the lead surgeon on this patient. What do you think?"

Su Ning pondered for a moment and said slowly, "This patient's condition is indeed very complicated. We need to be cautious before we understand all the details. There may be some circumstances we don't understand. I suggest listening to Director Zhou's explanation first."

Fang Xiaoran also stood up to defend Zhou Xiaofeng, "That's right! I just checked the authoritative literature, and it's not uncommon for aortic dissection to occur suddenly after the event. This has no direct connection to the previous diagnosis."

Director Bai Ji then took out the CT scan results of Zhang Bingxian before he was discharged from the hospital, which indeed showed that there was no sign of aortic dissection at the time.

After reading the report, Lin Yi looked a little embarrassed and took the initiative to apologize to Zhou Xiaofeng, "Director Zhou, I was too impulsive just now. I'm sorry."

Zhou Xiaofeng waved his hand and softened his tone, "Forget it, we are all doing this for the good of the patients."

Seeing this, Jiang Junling said to Su Ning, "Suning, go explain the situation to Zhang Bingxian's family! Try to reassure them."

Suning nodded, "Okay, I'll explain it in detail."

Then Suning came to the family waiting area and patiently explained the complexity of the disease and the hospital's treatment process to Zhang Bingxian's wife and daughter.

He analyzed the changes in the patient's condition in an easy-to-understand manner from a medical perspective, and ultimately gained the understanding and recognition of the family.

Zhang Bingxian's daughter held Su Ning's hand and said gratefully, "Director Su, thank you! I was too impulsive just now. I'm sorry."

Su Ning smiled slightly. "It's okay. I understand how you feel. The most important thing now is for Mr. Zhang to rest and recuperate. We will do our best to take care of him."

"Thank you! Director Su, can I leave you my contact information?"

"Okay! If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."

"Director Su, seeing you! I finally believe there are angels in white."

"Miss Zhang, you're too kind! From now on, we'll need you to cooperate with the nurses in the intensive care unit and help your father recover as quickly as possible."

As night fell, the lights of Dongli Hospital gradually dimmed.

Su Ning and Fang Xiaoran walked out of the hospital side by side again. A breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I'll take you to a nice place." Suning said with a smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Fang Xiaoran was a little confused, "Where are we going?"

"Waldorf." Suning said lightly.

Fang Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Waldorf? Isn't that a five-star hotel? Do you live there?"

Su Ning nodded, his tone relaxed, "Yes! It's arranged by the hospital, but it's only for a month. It's a waste of time anyway, so I'll take you there to experience it."

Fang Xiaoran curled her lips, with a hint of envy and dissatisfaction in her tone, "You great doctors are treated so well, while we little doctors can only live in the dormitory."

Su Ning smiled and said, "Don't say that. You are the main force in the intensive care unit. The hospital cannot do without you."

The two came to the Waldorf, where the restaurant's atmosphere was elegant and romantic.

Although Fang Xiaoran expressed envy, she was actually somewhat disapproving of Suning's "luxurious" lifestyle.

After dinner, Suning suddenly suggested, "Do you want to sit in my room? The view is nice, we can enjoy the night view."

Fang Xiaoran was stunned, and a hint of hesitation and vigilance flashed across her face.

She frowned and said in a cold tone, "Suning, what do you mean?"

Su Ning noticed her reaction and quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I just think the profession of doctor is too stressful, and it's necessary to relax occasionally. After all, no one knows what will happen tomorrow."

Fang Xiaoran sneered, "You don't sound like you're trying to persuade me to relax, but rather like you're making excuses for yourself. It's true that being a doctor is a high-risk profession, but that doesn't mean we can indulge ourselves."

Su Ning was a little embarrassed by what she said and touched his nose. "I just think that life shouldn't just be about work. We should enjoy ourselves occasionally."

Fang Xiaoran stood up and looked at him coldly. "Suning, I thought you were a principled man, but I didn't expect you to be such a scumbag who only cares about having fun. Sorry, I'm not interested in that kind of lifestyle."

After saying that, she left the hotel without looking back.

Suning looked at her back, sighed helplessly, and said to himself, "It seems that my 'live in the moment' theory doesn't work with her."

……

The next morning, Zhou Xiaofeng came to the intensive care unit for rounds.

He carefully checked Zhang Bingxian's medical records and confirmed that the patient had recovered well after the operation, and he felt relieved.

However, when he turned around, he saw Lin Yi standing at the door with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"Director Zhou, you're checking so carefully, are you afraid of getting complained about again?" Lin Yi's tone was filled with obvious sarcasm.

Zhou Xiaofeng frowned and said calmly, "Lin Yi, I'm just doing my duty. The patient's condition is complicated, and we must pay close attention to it."

Lin Yi snorted coldly, "Responsibility? If you hadn't misdiagnosed him, Mr. Zhang Bingxian wouldn't have nearly gotten into trouble."

Fang Xiaoran happened to pass by and heard the conversation between the two. She immediately walked over.

"Lin Yi, you're exaggerating! Dr. Zhou's diagnosis was based on the test results at the time, and it wasn't wrong. Aortic dissection develops extremely quickly, and no one can predict it."

Lin Yi disagreed, "Doctor Fang, aren't you being a little biased by protecting Director Zhou so much?"

Fang Xiaoran's face flushed with anger. "I'm just speaking the truth! Lin Yi, don't always pick on Director Zhou!"

The quarrel between the two attracted the attention of other medical staff.

Jiang Junling rushed over upon hearing the news and said in a deep voice, "Alright, stop arguing! Lin Yi, your attitude this time is indeed problematic. The hospital has decided to deduct 300 yuan from you as a warning."

When Lin Yi heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied, "Why are you deducting my money? I'm just telling the truth!"

Jiang Junling patted his shoulder and softened his tone. "Lin Yi, I recognize your professional ability, but your attitude needs improvement. Doctors should not only treat illnesses, but also learn to communicate and understand."

Lin Yi was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "I understand, Director Jiang."

……

One day, Zhou Xiaofeng had just finished teaching an intern class when she received an urgent call from Zhang Zhen: "Doctor Zhou, a patient has been transferred to the emergency room after a car accident. His blood pressure has dropped sharply and his condition is critical!"

"Okay! I understand." Zhou Xiaofeng rushed to the emergency room without saying a word.

The patient was a young man who had a ruptured heart and massive bleeding in the pericardium and was in critical condition.

Zhou Xiaofeng quickly organized rescue efforts, but the situation remained grim.

At this moment, Suning also rushed to the operating room.

He had just finished an operation and had no time to rest when he received a call from Jiang Junling asking him to assist Zhou Xiaofeng.

"How's the situation?" Suning asked as he put on his surgical gown.

Zhou Xiaofeng looked solemn, "There's severe pericardial bleeding, and my blood pressure can't rise."

Suning nodded, "I'll take over, you continue to cooperate."

"it is good."

The two cooperated tacitly, and after several hours of effort, they finally stopped the bleeding and repaired the ruptured heart.

The patient's vital signs gradually stabilized and the operation was successful.

After the operation, it was already early morning the next day.

Fang Xiaoran heard that Zhou Xiaofeng and Suning had been busy all night, so she bought breakfast and sent it to the operating room.

She pushed open the door and saw the two of them sitting tiredly on the chairs, and she couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Director Zhou, you've worked hard. Please eat something." Fang Xiaoran put breakfast on the table with a gentle tone.

Zhou Xiaofeng smiled and picked up a sandwich, "Thank you."

Su Ning glanced at the breakfast on the table and asked with a smile, "Doctor Fang, where's mine?"

Fang Xiaoran glanced at him and said coldly, "The rest is yours."

Su Ning shrugged helplessly, "It seems that I am still not welcome."

Fang Xiaoran snorted coldly, turned around and left the operating room.

She was still upset about Suning's "scumbag" behavior, but when she saw how tired he looked, she felt a little soft-hearted.

"Forget it, since he saved the patient, I won't bother with him for now."

Fang Xiaoran thought to herself, but a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.
