Masterful Miracle Doctor

Chapter 1000 - 964: Success Doesn't Require Luck

Prompted by Lin Miao, Lin Jie immediately noticed something was wrong with the man.Sweat beads covered his face, his expression was twisted, and his body was slumped over the dining table, motionless, seemingly in a state of physical dysfunction or unconsciousness.

Lin Jie instantly got up and walked over to him, asking in German, "Sir, what's wrong?"

No response from him!

Upon reaching the man's side, Lin Jie extended his hand to check his carotid artery, and his heart sank.

The pulse pressure was fluctuating, and the pulse rate was irregularly alternating between fast and slow.

This was cardiac arrhythmia.

The man's heart condition had flared up.

Immediately, Lin Jie laid the man's body flat on the ground and swung his fist to repeatedly thump the precordial area of his heart.

This mimicked defibrillation, using sudden external force to forcibly restart the man's heart and return his heart rate to normal.

After five consecutive thumps, Lin Jie reached out to check his carotid artery once more.

The pulse pressure was relatively stable, and the pulse rate was within an acceptable range!

Lin Jie relaxed; the man had been rescued.

From the moment Lin Jie noticed the man's abnormality to the time he laid the man flat and used thumps to restore his heart rate, only a minute had passed.

Although brief, his unusual actions, especially the punching motion, attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Lin Jie searched the man's coat pockets but found no medication. He called out to the dozen or so people who had run over, "Does anyone have heart emergency medication?"

"Isn't this Mr. Bach?"

Someone recognized the foreign man lying on the ground and exclaimed in shock, "Is he having a heart attack?"

"I have medicine here!" Someone handed Lin Jie a bottle of medication.

Lin Jie took the medication and saw that it was nitroglycerin.

This is the preferred medication for treating angina pectoris.

Its main pharmacological effect is to relax the smooth muscles of blood vessels, dilate the venous and arterial beds, with a primary focus on dilating veins.

Based on Mr. Bach's symptoms, taking nitroglycerin is appropriate.

Lin Jie took out two tablets, placed them in Bach's mouth, and let them dissolve sublingually.

"What happened here?"

The German ambassador parted the crowd and came over, seeing Bach on the ground and Lin Jie standing nearby, he asked, "Dr. Lin, what's this situation?"

"He had a heart attack!"

Lin Jie replied briefly, then asked, "Does the consulate have a medical room?"

"If not, it's best to send the patient to the hospital for further examination and treatment!"

Just as he finished speaking, Bach, lying on the floor, regained consciousness and cried out, clutching his abdomen, "Ouch, ouch!"

Bach's awakening, and his sudden cries of pain, further reassured Lin Jie.

Regaining consciousness so quickly indicated that his condition wasn't too severe.

Crying out in pain suggested that his sensory nerves were functioning well, and there wasn't a major problem with his brain.

Lin Jie crouched next to him and asked, "Mr. Bach, don't be nervous or scared. I'm Dr. Lin Jie. Bear with the pain a little and tell me your symptoms."

"I...I..."

Bach focused his gaze, recognized Lin Jie's face, and said with urgent breath through the pain, "Dr. Lin, I was eating when suddenly I experienced unbearable pain in my abdomen."

"I wanted to call for help, but then I had chest pain too, and after that, I lost consciousness…"

Lin Jie gently massaged the appendix area of his abdomen and asked, "Does it hurt here?"

No particular reaction, so it wasn't acute appendicitis.

Lin Jie moved his hand to another part of Bach's abdomen.

This time, as soon as he applied pressure, Bach cried out again.

Lin Jie understood immediately and explained, "Mr. Bach, don't worry."

"You have a kidney stone obstructed at the ureteral orifice as it was entering the bladder, which caused severe pain."

"This is a minor issue, just hold on for a bit, and you'll need to go to the hospital for treatment."

Urinary tract stones are a common condition in middle-aged men, referring to kidney stones temporarily stuck in the narrowing of the ureter during excretion.

The ureter is approximately twenty-two to twenty-five centimeters long, with three major narrowings: the first at the junction of the renal pelvis and ureter; the second where it crosses the iliac artery into the pelvis; the third at the ureterovesical junction.

The most common symptom of urinary tract stones is pain.

This pain typically occurs suddenly and can develop to a severe degree in a short period.

Symptoms manifest as severe radiating colic, which is paroxysmal and worsening, accompanied by profuse sweating, pallor, drop in blood pressure, rapid heart rate, and other shock symptoms.

From the location of Bach's pain, the stone was stuck at the ureterovesical junction.

And the sudden severe pain had triggered his heart condition.

When Bach was taken to the hospital by consulate staff, the German ambassador once again expressed deep gratitude to Lin Jie, "Dr. Lin, thank you! If it weren't for your timely discovery and intervention, we might have lost Mr. Bach tonight."

"It's just my duty!" Lin Jie modestly replied.

Another German man with a big belly sincerely said, "Dr. Lin, I will certainly tell Mr. Bach's family about how you saved him."

"You deserve their gratitude..."

An Kemeng watched Lin Jie surrounded by people with the German ambassador at the forefront, excitedly clenched her small fist, and made a vow, "Miaomiao, I must become a great doctor like Brother Jie to be admired by many."

"Just you wait!"

Lin Miao raised her little face, sneered, and struck back, "Don't aim too high."

"Brother's medical skills are so advanced that you can't possibly reach them. Like Brother, who can save a life with a punch—such skill isn't something just any doctor can learn."

"This beautiful young lady speaks very accurately!"

An unexpected male voice caught Lin Miao and An Kemeng's attention.

They turned to see a brawny man who smirked and joked, "Dr. Lin's skill of saving lives with punches is indeed not something that just anyone can learn."

"Because a third-rate person can learn it."

The brawny man chuckled, "Any doctor with some practical skills can use this emergency method. It's not some advanced skill but rather common knowledge."

Lin Miao found his smile distasteful, sensing that this guy was mocking her brother.

She spoke with displeasure, "You know so well; does that mean you are a doctor too?"

The brawny man confidently introduced himself, "Of course I'm a doctor, and a very skilled orthopedic doctor at that."

Lin Miao lightly said, "Even the most basic emergency measures depend on who uses them."

"From discovering the patient's abnormality to treating him and turning the crisis around, my brother managed it all in one or two minutes."

"You claim to be a very skilled doctor."

Lin Miao challenged, "So tell me, if it were you treating that person, could you confidently turn the crisis around in such a short time?"

The brawny man froze for a moment, then snorted coldly, "Striking the precordial area to restore heart rhythm is merely a probabilistic event."

"It might work with one punch, or it might never work."

He said somewhat resentfully, "Dr. Lin was just lucky."

Lin Miao snorted disdainfully, "Only those lacking confidence in their abilities attribute success or failure to unpredictable luck."

"I can tell you, this isn't the first time my brother has used this method to save someone. But every time, he succeeds with ease and rescues the patient."

"Why does my brother always have such good luck?"

At this moment, Lin Miao looked just like a proud peacock, showing off wildly.

An Kemeng chimed in boastfully, "That's because Brother Jie doesn't need luck's favor."

"Brother Jie makes every detail perfect and accurate, achieving a hundred percent perfection, resulting in a hundred percent success."

"Many doctors can only achieve eighty to ninety percent accuracy in their details, and when these deviations accumulate, they only have a fifty percent or even twenty to thirty percent chance of success."

"That's why those people depend on luck for success."

After being continuously mocked by the two little girls, the brawny man's face darkened, just as he was about to retort, a familiar voice sounded in his ear, "Kemeng, little girl, you're absolutely right."

The brawny man closed his mouth, frustrated. An Kemeng greeted the newcomer politely, "Hello, Dean Cheng!"

Cheng Xingguang remarked emotionally, "Expert Lin is precisely such a person—meticulously pursuing details and being scrupulous in his processes. His successive successes indeed don't require luck's favor."

"Kemeng, is this your own observation and understanding?"

An Kemeng laughed cheekily, "This isn't my realization; Brother Jie demands this of me."

"He asks me to do my best in every minor thing during my medical studies, so that over time, I naturally become the best."

"Good, good!"

Cheng Xingguang laughed heartily, encouraging, "Just keep going like this, and you will certainly become an excellent doctor."

At this time, Lin Jie and An Kexin walked over together and said to Cheng Xingguang and the brawny man, "Dean Cheng, Dr. Cheng Zhe, we need to get ready to leave now."

Before Cheng Xingguang could respond, the brawny man, addressed as Cheng Zhe, suddenly spoke up, "Dr. Lin, I would gladly become an external orthopedic doctor at Anlin Hospital."

Well...

With Cheng Xingguang present, Lin Jie felt a bit embarrassed to directly refuse and was momentarily at a loss for words.

At Chen Fanzhi's wedding, after being introduced by Fang Lianggong, Cheng Zhe and Lin Jie met.

At that time, Cheng Zhe suggested that Lin Jie could invest in the orthopedic hospital he was preparing, and in return, he could serve as an external orthopedic expert at Anlin Hospital.

Lin Jie disliked the idea of external experts in a part-time capacity and didn't think highly of Cheng Zhe, so he let An Kexin politely dismiss the matter.

An Kexin refused the investment proposal, so naturally, the external expert hiring was not mentioned.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhe brought it up directly at this moment.

Lin Jie paused for a moment, thought of a reason, and said, "Dr. Cheng Zhe, my expectations for Anlin Hospital are very high—very high. I need every medical staff member to be fully committed."

"Under such circumstances, unless extremely special cases arise, Anlin Hospital will not hire part-time doctors."
