Chapter 172 Persuading Mother Chen
After Chen Zhengnian finished speaking, he went to the Lu family to find Su Tang.
He ran all the way, his heart almost jumping out of his chest.
The urgent knock on the door startled Su Tang who was resting at home.
She was already quite pregnant and her movements were a little clumsy. She held her waist to open the door and saw Chen Zhengnian, who was pale and sweating outside, and her heart tightened.
"Chen Zhengnian? What happened?"
"Doctor Su, my mom...my mom fainted and was just sent to your hospital. The doctor said her condition is critical and specifically requested you to come! Please..."
Chen Zhengnian spoke incoherently, his voice choked with sobs.
These respectful words made Su Tang react immediately.
"Let's go! Talk as we go!"
She immediately turned around and went back to the house, quickly grabbing a coat, her movements so swift that she didn't look like a pregnant woman.
On the way, Chen Zhengnian told what happened in a halting manner.
When Chen's mother went out in the morning, she suddenly fell to the ground with severe chest pain. She was sent to the hospital and the preliminary diagnosis was acute myocardial infarction, which was a serious condition.
The attending physician was not completely sure and urgently needed Su Tang, an experienced and authoritative person.
Because Su Tang's experience in surgery is better than theirs.
Considering Su Tang's mobility issues, Chen Zhengnian asked someone to drive him here beforehand.
When we arrived at the hospital, the red light in the operating room was on.
Father Chen squatted by the wall as if he had lost his soul, and Chen Zhengnian paced anxiously.
When the attending physician saw Su Tang, he immediately came forward as if he had seen a savior.
"Doctor Su! You're here! Director Chen's condition is very unstable. Her blood pressure continues to drop, and her heartbeat is irregular. We suspect a large-scale myocardial infarction. The risk of thrombolysis is very high. We..."
Su Tang interrupted him, speaking quickly and clearly: "X-ray? Electrocardiogram? The specific values of the patient's current vital signs? Medication status?"
She asked quickly as she put on a sterile surgical gown with the help of the nurse, but her belly was already very visible and her movements were somewhat restricted.
Su Tang took a deep breath and said decisively, "I'm not in the right condition to be on the operating table. The risk is too great. But I'll be guiding you from outside. You'll be the surgeon. Do as I say. Stabilizing the patient's vital signs is the top priority."
She couldn't risk going into the operating room; the intense concentration and prolonged standing would be a huge burden on both the fetus and her.
If not handled properly, it may even worsen the condition.
But her experience and judgment are invaluable at this moment.
Su Tang was quickly taken to the observation room next to the operating room and maintained real-time contact with the operating room through the internal telephone and intercom system.
Her calm voice came through the microphone. With Su Tang's presence, it was like a stabilizing force, calming the somewhat panicked atmosphere in the operating room.
The attending physician's forehead was sweating, but his hands remained steady and he strictly followed Su Tang's instructions.
Time passed by minute by minute, and for people outside, every second felt like an eternity.
Chen Zhengnian clenched his fists and stared at the door of the operating room.
Father Chen shed tears silently, muttering: "It will be fine, Doctor Su is here, it will be fine..."
Finally, Su Tang's frown in the observation room relaxed slightly.
The attending physician's voice, a touch of excitement and fatigue, came from the microphone: "Doctor Su! The blood pressure has returned to normal! The heart rhythm has stabilized! The thrombolysis seems to be effective, and the ST segment in the chest leads is showing a downward trend! The patient's vital signs are temporarily stable!"
People in the observation room and outside the operating room breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.
Su Tang leaned back in his chair and felt a strong sense of fatigue coming over him, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
She gently stroked her bulging belly and whispered, "Good boy, you helped your mother save someone..."
When Su Tang walked out of the operating room, he saw Wang Xinxin comforting Chen Zhengnian.
"It's okay, don't worry. Be careful recently and don't let the patient have too much emotional fluctuation."
Hearing Su Tang say this, Chen's father and Chen Zhengnian nodded.
"Cousin, when can we go see Aunt Chen?"
Wang Xinxin asked, Su Tang thought for a moment and replied, "Just wait until you're completely out of danger."
I can't visit her now. I have to wait until the danger is over and Chen's mother has fully recovered.
In this way, Chen's mother was transferred to the intensive care unit for observation. After two days and two nights of intensive monitoring and treatment, she was finally out of danger and transferred to an ordinary single room.
This serious illness made her look much more haggard, but the stubbornness in her eyes seemed to be diluted a little by this life-and-death disaster.
That afternoon, Su Tang came to visit Chen's mother specially.
She was wearing a clean white coat, her belly was already very obvious, but she still walked calmly.
"Aunt Chen, are you feeling better?"
Su Tang walked towards the bed with a smile and a gentle voice.
Mother Chen looked at Su Tang with complicated eyes.
She heard that it was her son who rushed out to look for the person, and she also heard the nurses whispering.
It was said that it was all thanks to Dr. Su who was directing the situation from outside.
She turned her face away, her voice a little hoarse: "I won't die... Sorry to bother Doctor Su."
"Don't say that. I'm glad you're safe."
Su Tang pulled over a chair and sat down, naturally tucking the corner of the quilt for Chen's mother.
"This is really dangerous, an acute myocardial infarction. You must never get so emotional again in the future, it will cause great harm to your body."
When talking about her emotional excitement, Chen's mother's face darkened again, obviously remembering the fierce quarrel.
She was silent, her chest still heaving uncomfortably.
Su Tang looked at her and spoke softly, "Auntie, there are some things I know I shouldn't say as an outsider. But when you fell ill this time, Chen Zhengnian was so worried that he almost went crazy. He stayed outside for two days without closing his eyes, and he looked completely out of shape. Uncle Chen also aged several years in an instant."
Mother Chen's eyes were slightly red, but she still didn't say anything.
"I know you have your own ideas about Chen Zhengnian's marriage. I hope he's well."
Su Tang's tone was very calm, without any accusation, only understanding and persuasion.
"You think that a well-matched family background and a good understanding of one's background will lead to a stable life in the future. That's a good idea. What mother wouldn't think so?"
Mother Chen's eyelashes trembled, as if she didn't expect Su Tang to say that.
"But ah, Auntie."
Su Tang changed the subject, her voice became softer, and she placed her hand gently on her belly.
"You see, life, after all, is a life lived between two people behind closed doors. No matter how glamorous it looks to outsiders, if the people inside are unhappy, then life is hard.
Just like the shoes on your feet, others say they look good and are expensive, but only you know whether they rub your feet or not.
Chen Zhengnian is a sensible man. He knows what he wants. He chose Xinxin, saying she is kind, down-to-earth, and can live a good life with him. This thought is enough.
Su Tang paused and observed Chen's mother's reaction.
Although Chen's mother was still turning her face to the side, she was obviously listening.
"It's not easy for Xinxin, a city girl, to come to our northwest with me. Think about it, Chen Zhengnian is in the army and has little time to spend with you. If he finds someone he doesn't like or can't get along with, he will feel depressed. How can his life be smooth?
If he is unhappy, how can you, as his mother, feel good? "
