I saved the life of a 5-year-old boy during my first surgery – 20 years later, we crossed paths again in a parking lot and he screamed that I had destroyed his life

Twenty years later, anger

Lucas has become a recognized surgeon, renowned for managing the most delicate cases.
That morning, he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. Camille is unconscious, irregular breathing, intense chest pain before the loss of consciousness.
He calls an internal resuscitation team. A stretcher is coming. Direction the operating room.

A second race against the clock

The diagnosis is terrible: aortic dissection. Without immediate intervention, the outcome can be fatal.
When Lucas approaches the operating table and acknowledges his face, time seems suspended. Again she. His life in his hands again.
He does not hesitate.
Open. Clamp the aorta. Replace the torn portion with a graft. Check the tightness of the sutures before gradually restoring circulation.
Again, the word falls: “Stable. »
Again, she’s alive.
