"Sigh... always giving me more work. The patient has already been sent to the ICU," Shi Lei stretched lazily.
"Well done, well done. Have some fruit, then get some rest," Liu Banxia said with a grin.
"But it was indeed very risky. By the time we started the operation, the aortic dissection was eight centimeters long. Had we delayed any further, I couldn't even imagine how much longer the tear would have become," Shi Lei said thoughtfully.
"The patient's high blood pressure was extremely severe. I suspect that without medication, his readings would easily shoot past two hundred. Given his condition, it's a miracle he's even alive."
"I didn't expect it to be this severe. If he hadn't mentioned pain in his back, I might have missed the diagnosis," Liu Banxia said.
