That thing is huge! How long does it take for something like that to form and go undetected? The guy is lucky he didn’t just drop dead.

...Huh? I’m medically clueless, does he really have a bomb implanted in him or if an aortic dissection is a real medical problem (problem being an understatement)
and what exactly is it?

The intima.. The inner layer of the aorta splits free and tears.
Imagine a hose about 2-3 inches in diameter emptying out your entire volume of circulating blood in about 6 seconds.
Almost a sure death sentence.

I’m happy I work in the NICU; I couldn’t handle that for one second. Thank you for being such a good stud nurse.

You need to make a book of these stories.
Cheers!

Thanks for the ping and thanks for another spell-binding article.
I like your writing style because it's plain as day what you are saying but I can never tell (with out looking forward) if the paragraph I'm reading is the last.
To: 60Gunner
And???
Did he make it?
(FWIW, I got no further than the image and said ‘OH crap, he’s dissecting!’ - not bad for an engineer with no formal medical training)...

Gunner, you’re an excellent writer.
When do find out what happened to the patient.
I am always in awe of your diagnostic skill.
