Chapter 87 An Emergency
"What's going on?"
Without hesitation, Owen immediately stood up and walked out.
"Mr. Ramsey is already in a coma accompanied by allergic reactions."
Kendrick came over today to receive a new drug injection diagnosis and treatment.
Natalie followed up and asked, "What was he injected?"
Her tone was so sharp that the nurse was stunned for a moment before answering, "According to the plan, we injected NGF into his muscles today!" NGF was a nerve growth factor.
It was the latest drug that promoted nerve cell growth. Owen brought it back from Cruxham.
"Besides NGF, is there anything else?"
"No!" said the nurse with certainty.
Natalie didn't ask any more questions and ran all the way to the ward.
Kendrick had fallen into a coma.
She quickly checked his breathing and said, "Get ready for CPR."
Owen immediately came over to help with chest compressions.
Three minutes later, Kendrick's heart returned to beating.
Suddenly, someone said, "He still needs artificial respiration!"
Natalie's ears moved.
"Let me do it!" she said.
"Mrs. Ramsey, please calm down. Let Dr. Gentry..." The nurse's anxious voice rang out.
However, before she could finish speaking, Natalie had already placed her hand on Kendrick's forehead and raised his chin with the other to keep it tilted back. She then took a deep breath and lowered her head to blow into his mouth.
After seeing his chest rise, she turned his face to one side. After hearing his breathing, she finally released his chin.
While doing all this, Natalie did not show any signs of panic.
Her professionalism and seriousness completely stunned the nurse.
"Inject adrenaline immediately, with a dose of 0.5mg each time and an interval of ten minutes!"
No one moved.
Natalie glanced coldly at them.
Owen ordered, "Just do it!"
After the first injection of adrenaline, Kendrick regained some of his consciousness.
Natalie carefully examined his body.
The rash that had originally spread to his chest began to subside.
His breathing became steady.
His vital features were being restored gradually.
She straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief, "It's alright. Don't worry."
Looking at her, Owen suddenly felt that he was useless now.
"It's an allergy caused by excessive NGF injection. Reduce the dosage to 30ug from now on!" said Natalie.
Owen explained, "During the clinical trials conducted in Cruxham, 40ug is a safe dose range."
"I know," Natalie said, "but this drug has not been clinically tested in Hamgrad, so reducing it to 30ug is safer. Remember to change the injection sites to avoid affecting absorption! No medication is allowed 6 hours before injection!"
Owen said, "Got it!"
After speaking, the two looked up at each other.
They both felt a little weird.
Natalie coughed lightly and said, "He will wake up soon."
NGF was a new drug.
The sample size for clinical trials was not large enough.
Kendrick's immune system overreacted to it.
As a result, he encountered an allergic shock.
Fortunately, he was alright now.
Natalie bent down to grasp Kendrick's hand tightly and whispered, "It's okay now."
Then she said in her heart, "I am here.
It won't put you in any danger."
Natalie turned around and said to the nurse, "Let me know if he wakes up! I will personally explain this matter to Mr. Ramsey. You don't need to say too much. I don't want any unnecessary misunderstandings.' She went out and turned left to wash her face in the toilet.
Her body had been soaked in sweat.
Even her hair had been wet with sweat.
Natalie looked up and saw her pale face in the mirror.
She had been very nervous just now.
The fear and worry that spread from the bottom of her heart couldn't be avoided, but she forcefully covered it with calmness.
Natalie came out after washing her face and met Owen outside the ward.
He said, "Mr. Ramsey is alright now. He is expected to wake up in twenty minutes."
Owen frowned slightly, and his eyes fixed on her face.
Natalie smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Owen realized his impoliteness and withdrew his gaze. He coughed slightly and asked, "Can we have a talk somewhere else?"
The two of them sat down on a sofa in the hall to rest.
Owen bought two bottles of water and handed her one. "Have some water."
Natalie didn't refuse it.
She unscrewed the cap and drank more than half of the bottle of water in one gulp.
Owen's lips moved, and he had too much to ask.
Seeing that, Natalie comforted, "Kendrick has undergone anti-allergic testing before, and NGF is safe. So, the only reason for this is an overdose, unless the nurse deceived me and injected him with other drugs. I don't think she would dare to do that.
"A dose of 40ug is safe for ordinary people, but Kendrick has special physical conditions. Or maybe his immune system overreacted to new drugs due to years of drug injections.
"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Just follow your plan. I will explain this to him."
Owen had contact with many family members of patients.
When encountering critical situations, they were always panicked and irrational, unable to even listen to the doctors. They might even get very excited and hurt the doctors.
To his surprise, Natalie, who was so young, had a calm and fearless attitude that was not in line with her age.
The professionalism and experience she had just demonstrated even surpassed most doctors.
Owen couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, have you ever been on the clinical front line?"
Natalie smiled.
In fact, she had always been on the clinical front line in her last life.
"You are very professional and calm, with excellent professionalism as a medical staff member, but you have been deliberately concealing it. You don't want Mr. Ramsey to know about this, right?" asked Owen tentatively.
"Everyone has secrets." Natalie said, "Will you keep it a secret for me, Dr. Gentry? Or are you going to tell Mr. Ramsey the truth?"
"If Mr. Ramsey knows that his wife has saved his life, he'll be very moved."
Although Owen had been shown PDA by them many times, out of concern, he still wanted to remind Natalie.
Natalie lowered her eyes and smiled lightly.
"You're right, but I never told him I'm a medical professional."
Natalie suddenly admitted.
Owen was stunned.
"There are even no traces related to medicine in my life. In fact, my major in university was literature and art appreciation. I dropped out of my sophomore year and barely obtained a certificate of completion." As Owen listened to her, his expression remained surprised.
"May I ask how you obtained your medical expertise?"
"By self-teaching."
Owen didn't quite believe it.
After all, even top medical professionals like him had undergone complete and scientific professional knowledge education.
His medical expertise was obtained through countless nights of experiments and studying.
"See? You don't believe it, and Mr. Ramsey naturally won't believe it either. It's complicated to explain. Besides, what if he can't accept it and divorces me after knowing my secrets?"
Owen was stunned again.
After a while, he nodded. "I see."
He had no hobby of undermining the happiness of others.
Therefore, he decided to keep it a secret for Natalie.
Seeing that it was about time, Natalie stood up and said, "I should go see him now. Thank you, Dr. Gentry."
Owen said, "That's what I should do. Thank you for your understanding."
He thought, "She bought me a cervical massage machine.
Besides, in an emergency, she chose to comfort me and ask me not to blame myself.
She really has strong empathy.
Perhaps that's because we're both doctors."
Natalie returned to the ward, and Kendrick had just woken up and opened his eyes.
At first glance, he saw her face.
His fingers moved.
Then he was held by a soft hand.
