The Heart Episode 12 Recap
> The Heart Recap
Zhou Xiaofeng noticed that Lin Yi deliberately targeted Yan Hui due to resentment towards the wealthy. He also heard that the security guard at Lin Yi's clinic allowed patients who paid him benefits to jump the queue. Lin Yi was unaware of this, and Zhou Xiaofeng advised him to treat every patient fairly. Lin Yi resisted, leading to a heated argument with Zhou Xiaofeng. They ended up parting ways on unfriendly terms.
Lin Yi assigned his assistant to investigate the bribery case involving Security Guard Lao Zhao. Lin Yi, involuntarily, went to the rooftop and found solace in seeing patients recovering and leaving the hospital. He offered an umbrella to a wheelchair-bound young patient, and the patient's mother specially ordered takeout for Lin Yi. Fang Xiaoran delivered it to Lin Yi, who vented his frustrations. Fang Xiaoran, realizing Lin Yi was a responsible doctor, advised him to be open-minded about Yan Hui. Lin Yi felt comforted by her words.
Cao Nuo Ya returned home after being discharged, diligently practicing stitching every day despite frustration due to severe hand tremors. Lin Yi visited him, advising patience. Fang Xiaoran learned about Bai Ji's disciplinary action, leading to a heated argument between Lin Yi and Zhou Xiaofeng. Someone saw her in the control room, suspecting she called Lin Yi for help. Fang Xiaoran didn't regret her actions and openly thanked Zhou Xiaofeng for the call, leaving him unsure how to respond.
Yan Hui's condition gradually improved, and he chatted with neighboring patients. Learning that Lin Yi delayed his own surgery to save Yan Hui, Yan Hui felt guilty. Cui Jing encouraged Zhou Xiaofeng to participate in the selection of the top ten young doctors. In the emergency department, they admitted a patient with a rare and massive coronary aneurysm. Lin Yi rushed there and found Zhou Xiaofeng already present, who called him for assistance.
The patient, Song Xingyan, aged twenty, had been diagnosed for thirteen or fourteen months. The large tumor caused chest pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Lin Yi arranged a full-body examination for him. Renowned imaging expert Wang Min personally took X-rays for Song Xingyan. Knowing Lin Yi was Cao Nuo Ya's student, Wang Min remained indifferent, and Zhou Xiaofeng explained it was just her personality.
Lin Yi and Zhou Xiaofeng explained the surgical risks to Song Xingyan's mother, who, under immense pressure, repeatedly emphasized Song Xingyan's allergy to metronidazole. Lin Yi promised to use alternative medications. Chen Yue constantly followed Zhou Xiaofeng's social media, liking and commenting on every post, even posting pictures of Zhou Xiaofeng. Zhou Xiaofeng was displeased and publicly expressed his discomfort.
Lin Yi provided symptomatic treatment for Song Xingyan, and his condition gradually stabilized. Every time the nurse administered medication, Song's mother would repeat the metronidazole allergy issue, annoying the medical staff. Surprisingly, she was also reading a book on cardiac surgery. After much consideration, Song's mother agreed to let her son undergo surgery.
Fang Xiaoran found information online about Song Xingyan's twin brother, Song Xinghui, who died after an appendectomy due to metronidazole allergy at Dongjiang Hospital. This incident had resulted in disciplinary actions against the relevant doctors. Lin Yi and Zhou Xiaofeng felt uneasy about this revelation. Lin Yi vowed not to let anything go wrong in this surgery and not to betray Song's mother's trust.
Lin Yi scheduled the surgery for Song Xingyan next Wednesday, openly mentioning Shen Zheng's metronidazole allergy during ward rounds. Fang Xiaoran initiated adding Zhou Xiaofeng on WeChat, which he accepted. She then treated the department colleagues to coffee to celebrate, leaving Lin Yi puzzled.
Today was the day for Lin Yi's brother's follow-up appointment. Early in the morning, Lin Yi accompanied his brother to the hospital. Song Xingyan's condition worsened, leading to fainting. Suspecting a ruptured aneurysm, urgent surgery was needed. Lin Yi received a call and rushed back to the Heart Center. Confirming the aneurysm rupture, Lin Yi privately discussed the high surgical risk with Song's mother, given Song Xingyan hadn't fasted, was on anticoagulant therapy, and might not survive the surgery. Song's mother pleaded with Lin Yi to save her son.
It was the weekend, and there were three surgeries scheduled early in the morning. Nurses, anesthetists, and medical assistants were short-staffed. Yu Lingyun, Fang Xiaoran, and Zhou Xiaofeng each made phone calls to find additional help.
