Because the station's doctor stepped in and the ambulance promptly arrived, and the old man's local family was contacted through his unlocked mobile phone, the young Dr. Zhou Yiqing didn't go to the hospital.
Today, he had a prearranged dinner at his elders' house, and looking at the time, he was already running late. He hurried out of the station and hailed a cab to his relatives' place.
While in the car, he couldn't help but replay the scene of the heart surgeon's intervention in his mind.
Although he wasn't from the same specialty, as a qualified medical university graduate with several years of experience, he had a basic understanding of heart-related issues.
Yet, he found the cardiac surgeon's "procedure" puzzling. He saw him placing his hands on the patient's chest, not in the standard chest compression gesture, and didn't notice any specific movements or strong pressures. How did the doctor manage to revive the patient by simply holding his hands there?
