This miracle doctor just wants to be fired!

Chapter 276 Going to play ball after a night shift? That's courting death!

The emergency interventional team does not have a designated office location.

After all, it has only been established for a short time, and the hospital has not yet had time to plan a dedicated office area. Everything is still being explored and improved.

Zhou Cheng, Cheng Peng, and other doctors who were originally in the emergency department are still on regular shifts. Most of them stay in the emergency department doctors' offices, handling daily emergency work while being on standby to deal with emergency patients who need intervention.

Li Yaping and Su Yi, who were transferred from the cardiology department, are temporarily helping the interventional team with some internal documents and standardizing the procedures for handling various diseases.

Li Yaping, being a veteran cardiologist, was highly experienced and handled these documents and procedures with ease.

While organizing the relevant guidelines for interventional surgery, he also reviewed the emergency procedures for acute myocardial infarction and acute cerebral infarction to ensure that subsequent surgeries could be carried out in a structured manner.

Su Yi then assisted Li Yaping, and occasionally accompanied Zhou Cheng to the emergency department to familiarize himself with the environment and learn the emergency patient reception process.

The interventional group in the emergency department primarily focuses on coronary and cerebrovascular procedures.

These two areas are also the most common and urgent conditions in emergency interventions, and delays in treatment can endanger the patient's life.

Because it's an emergency room, the most common diseases we encounter are acute myocardial infarction and acute cerebral infarction.

However, Director Chen Ming has quite a lot of ambition. In addition to coronary and cerebrovascular interventions, he also wants to work on interventional procedures in other departments.

For example, peripheral vascular intervention and tumor intervention can broaden the scope of services offered by the interventional group, enabling the emergency interventional group to gain a foothold in the hospital and even in the city of Jinghua.

But that's all for later. Chen Ming knows very well that the most important thing right now is to do a good job and refine the interventional procedures for coronary arteries and cerebrovascular diseases.

If even the most basic and common interventional procedures for coronary arteries and cerebrovascular diseases cannot be performed and the expected treatment results cannot be achieved, then there is no way to talk about expanding into other fields.

So during this period, he coordinated the various tasks of the interventional team while guiding Zhou Cheng, Su Yi and others to familiarize themselves with the operation of interventional surgery, repeatedly emphasizing surgical details and precautions, and making full preparations for the first interventional surgery.

……

We originally thought that the first emergency interventional surgery would have to wait a few more days. After all, the interventional team had only been established for a short time and needed further training. Also, suitable emergency interventional patients needed to wait for an opportunity.

But no one expected that the first surgery would come so suddenly, without any warning, catching everyone off guard.

What's even more surprising is that the patient is none other than Zhang Lei, an attending physician in the Department of Orthopedics at Jinghua People's Hospital. He is 35 years old and has always been in good health. No one expected him to suddenly fall ill.

Zhang Lei was on the night shift that day, working from 8 p.m. the previous night until 8 a.m. the next morning, a full twelve hours.

Night shifts in orthopedics are never easy; we see several patients with fractures and injuries during the night.

Some were injured in car accidents, some fell unexpectedly, and some suffered sudden joint dislocations.

Zhang Lei barely rested for a minute, constantly busy seeing patients, conducting physical examinations, writing medical orders, and arranging surgeries, working himself to the bone.

After finally enduring until dawn, handing over his shift, and taking off his white coat, Zhang Lei felt utterly exhausted, as if his bones were about to fall apart.

His orthopedic colleague, who had just finished his shift, suggested they go to a basketball court near the hospital to play some basketball, relax, and relieve the fatigue of the night shift.

Zhang Lei usually enjoys playing ball. Although it was tiring, he thought that exercising would relieve fatigue and loosen up his muscles, so he agreed.

After a quick tidy-up, the group took the basketball to the basketball court.

At first, Zhang Lei was able to keep up with the pace, his shooting and passing were smooth, and he chatted and laughed with his colleagues, which reduced his fatigue considerably.

About half an hour into the game, during a fierce offensive and defensive confrontation, Zhang Lei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The pain made him turn pale instantly, and he broke out in a cold sweat, even dropping the basketball he was holding to the ground.

He instinctively clutched his chest, his body slowly bending down, his breathing becoming rapid. The pain in his chest intensified, as if it were tearing his chest apart, and even his back ached slightly.

His colleagues, who were playing basketball with him, were terrified when they saw him. They rushed over, supported him, and anxiously asked, "Zhang Lei, what happened to you?"

Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said with difficulty, "My chest... my chest hurts, it hurts terribly..."

His voice was broken and intermittent, his face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat streamed down his face, soaking his clothes.

He was trembling slightly and could barely stand.

We are all doctors, and we know the dangers of this situation.

Someone immediately took out their phone and dialed the emergency room's emergency number.

Others helped Zhang Lei sit down slowly on the ground to keep his breathing clear, not daring to move him unnecessarily for fear of aggravating his condition.

Zhang Lei sat on the ground, the pain in his chest not only not relieved, but became more and more intense.

He felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, his vision began to darken, and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

At that moment, Zhang Lei had only one thought in his mind: Oh no, he might be having a heart attack!

……

The ambulance arrived quickly and lifted Zhang Lei onto it, heading to the hospital.

But the short ten-minute journey now felt exceptionally long.

Finally, the stretcher arrived at the emergency department.

The nurses who were already waiting at the door immediately stepped forward and helped push Zhang Lei into the emergency room.

Zhou Cheng immediately arranged for nurses to establish intravenous access, administer oxygen, and monitor Zhang Lei's heart rate. At the same time, he asked Chen Xi and Li Yang to perform an electrocardiogram on Zhang Lei.

Li Yaping and Su Yi also heard the news and rushed to the emergency room to assist Zhou Cheng in his work.

The electrocardiograph machine was quickly prepared, and the nurse swiftly attached electrodes to Zhang Lei and started the machine.

The electrocardiogram results came out in just a few dozen seconds.

Zhou Cheng and Li Yaping immediately went over to check. The electrocardiogram showed that Zhang Lei's ST segment was significantly elevated in leads V1-V4, which is a typical manifestation of acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, the infarction site was the anterior wall, which was very serious!

"The diagnosis is acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. Immediate interventional surgery is necessary to open the blocked coronary artery; otherwise, the patient could experience cardiac arrest at any moment, endangering their life!"

Li Yaping said firmly, "I have extensive experience in coronary intervention, and I can tell at a glance how critical Zhang Lei's condition is."

Zhou Cheng immediately took out his phone and dialed Director Chen Ming's number.

"Director Chen, something terrible has happened! Dr. Zhang Lei from the orthopedics department has suffered a sudden acute anterior wall myocardial infarction. The electrocardiogram has confirmed it, and his condition is extremely critical. He may need emergency surgery!"

Upon hearing the news, Director Chen Ming on the other end of the phone immediately became tense and said, "I'll be there right away. Prepare the surgical instruments immediately, notify the interventional operating room to get ready, and calm the patient down. I'll be there shortly!"
