#Professor Joo Seok-joong #EmergencyCare #AorticDisease June 16, 2023 Professor Joo Seok-joong, a cardiovascular thoracic surgeon who saved the lives of countless patients with aortic disease, passed away in a sudden accident. Professor Joo Seok-joong lived 10 minutes away from the hospital his entire life and performed emergency surgeries 24 hours a day. There were endless voices mourning him. Why did the death of a doctor move so many people? What did he protect and try to protect his entire life? Most patients with aortic dissection have no symptoms and are brought to the emergency room with a sudden aortic rupture. Aortic dissection is a super-emergency disease with a mortality rate that increases by 1% per hour and a mortality rate of 50% within 2 days, competing for every minute and second. However, there are not many hospitals that can perform aortic emergency surgery 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and patients wander around looking for a hospital. In order to no longer lose patients' lives on the road, there are people who create a team that can gather whenever an emergency patient comes and speak out to the world. The dropout rate of thoracic surgery residents in 2022 is 24.1%. One out of four people give up midway. In an era where everyone is talking about work-life balance and being young and rich, there is a resident who returned to the hospital he had quit. People who chose thoracic surgery with a sense of mission and accepted this choice as their destiny. How can we protect them? “I guess I was destined to be a thoracic surgeon.” Lee Hye-joo / Cardiovascular thoracic surgery resident “I thought that thoracic surgeons especially see patients who are (closer to) the front lines of life, so I thought I wanted to live as a doctor like this.” Kim Byeong-jin / Intern Aortic surgery requires not only the efforts of one doctor, but also a large number of personnel such as nurses, anesthesiologists, and extracorporeal circulation technicians. Their goal is only one: ‘saving the patient.’ We take a look at the intensive care emergency system site maintained by the ‘big team’ who do their utmost in their respective positions with the sole goal of ‘saving the patient.’ The documentary insight 'Big Team', voiced by actor Kim Kyung-nam, will be broadcast on KBS 1TV at 10 PM on Thursday, October 12, 2023. ✔The documentary is KBS KBS official YouTube channel [KBS Documentary] 🔔Subscribe 👍Like ➡️ / @kbsdocumentary 📝Inquiries: [email protected] ©️ KBS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ∙The current situation and content may differ somewhat depending on the time of video broadcast. ∙Defamatory and malicious comments may be deleted by the operator to protect the cast.
