Ah! A doctor sighed.
This is what we fear the most.
An aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection have a terrifying characteristic: during the acute phase, the condition can change drastically from one minute to the next. This greatly affects the timing and method of surgery.
Simply put, can the patient undergo surgery? Perhaps it was possible an hour ago, but now the method might need to change, or surgery may no longer be feasible.
The reason why the doctors at Guoxie Thoracic Surgery Department were upset about the "acting first, reporting later" approach is precisely this.
If asked for their expert opinion, they would certainly advise against transferring a patient like you due to the high risk on the road. They would suggest stabilizing the patient's vital signs first. This patient is special because she's pregnant, and if anything goes wrong, it could cost two lives; therefore, you can't just transfer her casually.
Don't Beidu Third Hospital's doctors know this risk?
