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?

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.

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.

now, I have no medical training, but for what it's worth both my older brothers (one is a paramedic, the other in med school) like to show me pictures of medical problems, especially sample xrays and CAT scans. One, I do not recall which, has shown me pictures of various aortic dissections. Now, in the picture above, I think the line that the red arrow points at is the intima, meaning that the entire lower left third of the aorta in the pic is false lumen. Is my interpretation correct? Because if so,
whoa! That's waaaaayyy larger than any dissection my brothers have showed me a pic of (like, Good G-d!). when I first saw it and decided that's what it was I said Wloud 'I'm looking at death'. Please tell me I'm an amateur idiot (which would be redundant) and that I'm wrong. Because I hope for the sake of the patient I'm really way off. That's just frightening.
