Operation
Italian brain surgeon Claudio Vitale is dedicated. During a recent operation, Vitale began to experience chest pains. But he knew if he stopped the procedure, the patient might die. So he soldiered on.
From the Medical News Today Web site:
But he felt he could not stop what he was doing because although he had removed the tumor by then, there was a bleed that needed urgent attention. So he asked a nurse to take a sample of his blood and test it. The test shows the enzymes were elevated and he was indeed having an “infarct” or attack.
His medical team became very concerned and urged him to stop and get emergency treatment, but Vitale refused, saying he had to stop the hemorrhage, and then they could take over.
Vitale stabilized the patient, then underwent his own procedure to clear a blocked artery. At last report, both patients were recovering.
