Doctor Steven's Charm
62 - The state of the grandfather
Steven and Rimba went straight to Marco's house. Seen in front of Steven's sister's house there is a unit of ambulance parked, and several medical teams are busy carrying Hermawan's grandfather into the ambulance.
After his car stopped, Steven immediately got out and ran to find out what had happened. Likewise with Rimba who followed her husband's steps.
"Grandfather why Mit?" asked Steven to his sister who was sobbing, while looking at the grandfather who was being paired with oxygen by the medical team.
"I don't know. Grandfather was unconscious," said Mitha sounding raucous.
"So in his room there was a sound of falling objects when I just came home. And I saw that Grandpa was sitting on the floor grimacing with his chest, and his drinking glass fell off the side" replied Marco, who was the first to discover his condition.
"But still conscious?" ask Steve.
"Yes, grandfather complained of dizziness, chest pain and his face was sweating. Soon, Grandpa was unconscious. That's why I immediately called an ambulance" Marco replied.
Not commenting any more Steven directly entered the ambulance to see the condition of his grandfather. It was seen that he also performed Pulmonary Heart Resuscitation (CPR) on the chest of the grandfather.
"Quick the way sir!!" steven then shouted to the ambulance driver.
Shortly thereafter Grandpa Hermawan was taken to the hospital with Steven who was in the ambulance. While Rimba with Marco and Mitha followed him from behind.

Grandpa Hermawan was immediately taken to a special room for examination. Steven also entered to ensure the condition of the grandfather in detail. While Marco, Mitha and Rimba can only be anxious waiting for the results outside.
"Does my grandfather have a history of heart disease?" ask Rimba.
"Huh?" Mitha who was originally pacing back and forth richly ironed instantly stopped and looked at Rimba. "You mean?" tanyakanya.
"I'm not sure, brother. It's just that hearing from Marco's remark about grandfather showing symptoms of people who have heart attacks," said Rimba who successfully made Mitha become more anxious and panicked.
'Eh did I miss talking? stupid lu Rim, why also talk the same Mitha. You don't know if Mitha is pregnant again? it even makes him more stressed. My stupid, ' umpat Rimba in his heart regretted his words just now to Mitha.
"We just wait for what the doctor says later, yes" said Marco trying to calm his wife.
Soon the doctor who examined Hermawan's grandfather came out and met them.
"Where's Doc?" ask Marco enthusiastically.
"My grandfather is fine, right?" susul Mitha was impatient.
"The condition is stable, but we are still monitoring" said the doctor named Devon, who told his family about the condition.
"My grandfather is sick, Doc?" ask Mitha.
"Heart attack."
"What?" mitha's eyes widened. "let me see grandfather, I want to see the situation Doc," he said.
"Related Ma'am, for now the patient has not been found. We have to do some checks and CT scans first" said the handsome doctor who has a face to the arab-araban.
"But Doc--"
"Hey, you calm down dong, honey. There's Steve inside, and everything will be fine" Marco said, reassuring his wife.
"Yes, sister, we better wait first," said Rimba helped calm his sister-in-law.
Mitha finally took advice from those closest to her. He was calm again after realizing there was Steven who is now accompanying the grandfather in there.
It had been half an hour more the three of them sat waiting, but Steven did not go out and gave the latest news about the grandfather.
"This is a long time? when should we wait?" mitha began to fret.
"I tried to call Steve" Marco muttered as he reached into his cell phone from his pants pocket. He started calling his sister-in-law, but unfortunately it seems like his phone call was ignored.
"Where's brother?" rimba's response when he saw Marco's face being bent was disappointed while keeping the phone away from his ear.
"Not appointed, we'll wait a minute" said Marco.
Surely a few minutes later Steven came and immediately greeted Mitha with enthusiasm and anxious hope.
"Grandfather's okay, right?" ask Mitha.
Steven did not answer. The man sighed for a moment before telling Hermawan's true condition.
"Grandfather should be in surgery immediately," replied Steven softly.
Mitha's eyeballs instantly widened, "What operation?" tanyakanya.
"Heart baypass surgery" Steven said.
"Does grandpa have a coronary heart?" ask Rimba who at least understood the purpose of the operation.
Steven nodded. "this surgery action is to overcome the blockage of blood vessels in Grandpa's heart."
"Is this operation safe and not risky?" marco's turn to doubt.
"This surgical procedure is done by grafting healthy blood vessels from other parts of the body, to blocked heart blood vessels, and, it will then replace the function of damaged heart blood vessels to drain blood and oxygen to areas of the heart that have a lack of blood supply. And the risk of heart attack will also be reduced.
But the problem--" Steven suddenly stopped his sentence.
"But what? what's the problem?" mitha asked as she squinted her eyes suspiciously.
Again Steven sighed heavily and successfully made everyone there feel tense and more anxious.
"Don't make me worry more Brother!" mitha was impatient.
"Relax dear dong," muttered Marco rubbing his wife's back.
"Are there any other diseases my grandfather had?" rimba muttered was suspicious.
Steven nodded slowly. "Other CT scan results are out. Grandfather turned out to have late-stage lung cancer," said the man was powerless to admit but this news he still had to convey.
"WHAT?"
Compact Mitha, Marco and Rimba together.
