North American Patient's Emergency Story: From Abdominal Pain to Recovery in 48 Hours​​

In the early hours of June 3, Corey Salter, a North American patient, arrived at Shanghai SinoUnited Hospital's Emergency Department with severe abdominal pain. As COO of Authentic Brands Group, Corey was en route to Shanghai for the office opening event when he experienced sudden, sharp abdominal pain. Initially dismissing it as common stomach discomfort, the pain progressively intensified to an unbearable level.

Upon a colleague's recommendation, Corey visited Shanghai SinoUnited Hospital's Emergency Department at 3 AM. Emergency department physicians promptly conducted a comprehensive evaluation, including blood test and an ER CT scan, which confirmed a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. They immediately coordinated with Dr. Daniel Tong's general surgery team for multidisciplinary consultation. Upon arrival, Dr. Tong assessed surgical risks, evaluated contraindications and indications for surgery, engaged in thorough communication with the patient, and promptly performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic appendectomy, which was successfully completed.

Postoperatively, leveraging SinoUnited Health's Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol, the patient received precise anesthesia management, postoperative analgesia, professional nursing care. By the first postoperative day, the patient was ambulating normally, had restored intestinal function, and initiated a diet starting with clear liquids, progressing to easily digestible foods. On the second postoperative day, all discomfort had resolved, and the patient was discharged in good condition. Corey's experience exemplifies both a successful clinical outcome and international recognition of China's medical capabilities. SinoUnited Health has earned high praise from patients through its professional team, advanced technology, and compassionate care.
