Chapter 3
The Broken Heart Syndrome"She's coding" exclaimed Wheein as she pulled the crash cart beside the stretcher. They had to be quick or the patient we going to have brain damage. Her blood pressure was critically low and the irregular heart rhythm wasn't helping
"Cut her shirt and get the defibrillator ready" said Byulyi as she pulled on her gloves. Wheein gave her a surprised look after being caught unaware. But she didn't have time for that. She just nodded at her and got back to work.
"Ready. Everyone back off. And charge", said Byulyi as she shocked Yongsun. One time, two times, three times. That's how long it took for Yongsun's heart rate to normalise.
"Okay I need to operate on her soon or she's gonna go into v-fib again. Someone page my intern and the residents. This can be an interesting case. And get the operation theatre ready. I'll be there in 10 minutes" she said as she rushed to the changing room.Wheein followed her so she could brief her about the case.

"That was supposed to be a secret to the grave. Anyway, I'm not sure if she'll need the device. I'll judge once I see the damage when I open her up."
"I'm sure you'll do a good job.
