Capítulo 1751: Chapter 1755: Save the Child!
The doctor’s words left George feeling dazed!
After all, how could this happen… the heart suddenly becoming deford?
Do you think heart deformities are a joke?
You think it’s sothing that can just grow out overnight?
“Are you kidding ? Doctor! We’ve been doing prenatal checkups constantly, not missing a single one. How could this happen all of a sudden?”
“This joke isn’t funny at all!” George kept talking incessantly.
It seed like he was trying to convince the other party or comfort himself!
“Mr. George, please… calm down for a mont. What I’m saying is all factual.”
“Also, during the seventh and eighth months, the fetal heart and lung functions are in a process of constant adaptation and rapid improvent, and it’s during this period that problems are most likely to occur!”
“During previous checkups, the heart’s basic functions weren’t yet complete, so not detecting anything was normal.”
“Please co over as soon as possible. We need you to sign so papers. Your wife’s and child’s situation is quite special!”
After hanging up the phone, George stood there in a daze!
He looked at his phone with a blank expression, eyes wide open, filled with anger, but more so with worry…
He went downstairs, got in the car, and drove straight to the hospital!
But often, life is just like this: the more anxious you are, the more likely you are to encounter problems.
Just as he ca out of the underground parking, he took a sharp turn, and in his haste, he rear-ended a Volvo in front of him.
Seeing this, George couldn’t help but slap the steering wheel with both hands and curse: “Damn!”
After saying that, he was about to get out of the car to talk it over.
But when he saw four or five burly n getting out of the other car one after another, George’s expression suddenly changed!
He quickly turned back to his car and took out a wad of cash.
The wise know to adapt to the circumstances!
At this mont, he couldn’t afford to spend ti arguing with them.
As the n surrounded him, George hurriedly said:
“Gentlen, I’m sorry, I have an ergency. My wife is pregnant, in the hospital, urgently needing surgery. Please, I’ll compensate for the car, this is compensation!”
“Also, if there are any problems with the car, just register at the front desk. I truly have sothing urgent today! Please!”
Seeing this, the n stepped aside, and the leader took the money, looking at George, then glanced at his rcedes, and couldn’t help but say:
“Brother, be safe!”
After all, they were angry.
But…
In this territory, the most terrifying are the rich white people.
Their lawyers are the most shaless creatures in this world!
George hurriedly apologized.
Then the car quickly headed toward the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, George went straight to the VIP ward.
After entering, the doctor hadn’t left yet, and he also knew George.
After all, he was a vice president of the Johnson Group, powerful in both status and wealth, even the Governor of New Jersey couldn’t do without the support of the Johnson Group!
“Mr. George, don’t worry, the child’s condition was discovered early and it’s not very severe,” the dean, who had been waiting for so ti, quickly said as George arrived.
The largest hospital in New Jersey was Hackensack dical Center.
And Hackensack dical Center was also one of the largest dical centers in the United States, with nearly 20 ergency and critical care centers, including the renowned Kennedy dical Center.
The quality of healthcare here, needless to say, was the cream of the crop!
George finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: “Then why did the doctor on the phone make it sound so dangerous? Your hospital’s doctors are truly responsible!”
Upon hearing this, the dean gave a wry smile: “Chris is a bit detailed, which isn’t a bad thing, right?”
George ignored him.
The dean also gave a faint smile.
Chris was still too young and naive, as George’s aspersions on Chen Cang made this excellent cardiologist have no good impression of George!
So, during the phone call earlier, after routinely reporting the situation, he didn’t have any favorable impression of George.
Together, they walked to the special care ward.
The environnt here was excellent, almost like a five-star hotel rather than a hospital.
“Tracy! Oh! Darling!” George saw his wife and quickly rushed over, cautiously hugging her.
The woman held her husband and her nose twitched, tears streaming down her face.
“Honey, save our child!”
George held his wife, gently comforting her: “Alright, don’t worry, the child will be fine!”
“I’ll find the best doctor, the top hospital, the most skilled obstetrician, and make sure the child is safely delivered!”
“Don’t worry, I swear!”
Everyone, no matter how powerful or imposing he may be outside, or how timid or incapable he may seem!
But standing in front of his wife and child, he would beco strong and beco that sky-holding husband.
After saying this, George hurriedly said: “Dean Heath, what’s the situation exactly? Could you explain it to ?”
The dean hesitated for a mont and said: “The situation is a bit complicated… Chris, you explain.”
Chris was a 42-year-old cardiothoracic surgeon.
His dream was to join the AATS Association.
Chen Cang was also his idol.
Chris glanced at George, his gaze tepid. If it weren’t for the patient, he wouldn’t want to deal with this blatant businessman at all!
However, when it ca to patients, he was still very professional.
So Chris took out the scans and said: “The baby is now 33 weeks, lung developnt is good, but… the examination results show that there are so problems with the heart.”
“Here, the fetal right ventricle has an obstruction when flowing out, and the most important thing is, this obstruction seems to be growing quickly and it has already affected the fetus’s health!”
“The right ventricle obstruction in the fetus causes pulmonary artery stenosis!
Moreover, it easily induces ischemic myocardial changes under the endocardium, resulting in right ventricular wall necrosis, scarring, and calcification.
After the tricuspid valve thickens, tricuspid insufficiency may occur. The right atrium becos secondarily enlarged, and due to increased pressure in the right ventricle and right atrium, it is often accompanied by a patent foran ovale!”
“Therefore, the fetal situation is very complex now, with a continuation of the pregnancy, the fetal mortality rate is around seventy percent. Even if the heart suffers permanent damage, survival wouldn’t exceed 3 years.”
“Of course, if we terminate the pregnancy, the survival rate is larger, but still, once born, the child would require a pulmonary valve junction incision and during the operation, we should completely relieve the obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract and perform tricuspid annuloplasty.
The key is… the surgery should be conducted under extracorporeal circulation.”
“Therefore, even with surgery, the mortality rate remains around sixty percent!”
