Chapter 25 - 25 25 Performing Surgery on a Big Shot_1
Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Performing Surgery on a Big Shot_1 Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Performing Surgery on a Big Shot_1 Yan Ling arrived at the hospital and was immediately notified by the hospital’s director to join an emergency consultation session.
The patient in this consultation held a special status, he was a veteran who had once fought in battles.
He had dedicated most of his life to serving the nation, and now in his twilight years where he should be enjoying peace and tranquility, he was instead constantly tortured by his illness, often at death’s door.
This time, when the veteran’s old ailment had recurred, the hospitals in the capital city were at a loss, so he was transferred to Hongya Hospital.
As for why they chose Hongya.
That’s because Hongya, although not a public hospital, was backed by the Qi Corporation, and both its medical proficiency and consulting physicians were top-notch internationally.
For this consultation, some of the most accomplished experts and professors across the country had gathered in one place.
The hospital director personally presided over the meeting, he enlarged the veteran’s case on the screen and solemnly said, “The veteran’s condition is very pessimistic. He was injured in battle, and two pieces of residual weapon pieces have penetrated his heart. If we do not operate immediately, there is certainly a risk of death, but if we do and accidentally puncture the ventricle, there will be absolutely no hope of survival…”
The meeting room fell into a heavy silence at the director’s words.
As doctors, no one wanted to watch a patient die in front of them, let alone a respected elder like the veteran.
But precisely because of the veteran’s special identity, no one dared to take the risk and perform the surgery, as they couldn’t imagine the consequences of a failed operation.
Some suggested opting for conservative treatment, given that the veteran was old and couldn’t withstand such a taxing procedure.
Others argued that conservative treatment would mean waiting for death, which was no different than standing by while someone died.
The agitated director slapped the table in anger, “I of course understand that we can’t stand by while he dies, but the question is, who dares to perform this operation?”
Everyone fell silent.
Although they were medical elites, they all knew that this surgery carried significant risks — none of them were sure they could perform it successfully.
“I dare.”
Suddenly, a clear and confident voice rang out. Yan Ling stood up and looked at the director, “I can do this surgery.”
Yan Ling had great respect for the veteran. She had studied the veteran’s condition. The surgery was indeed complex, but not impossible.
The meeting room immediately fell silent. All the professors and experts turned their gazes to Yan Ling.
In a room full of elders with white hair, Yan Ling, a young and magnificently beautiful girl, undoubtedly drew attention.
Everyone assumed she was merely an intern at Hongya Hospital and were perplexed as to why an intern was attending such an important meeting.
To their surprise, this young girl dared to undertake this surgery!
An aged professor in the front row, his face grim, was about to scold Yan Ling for her audacity when the director cheerfully asked, “Director Yan, what are your chances of success?”
“If it were two days earlier, the chances would have been around 80%. Now, it’s only about 60%,” Yan Ling replied honestly.
Sixty percent?
Everyone wore expressions of disbelief.
“Impossible, even if I were to perform this surgery, there would be less than a 20% chance of success. How can you have a 60% chance?” The old professor looked incredulous.
The idea of such a young female physician with high medical proficiency was enough to make the group skeptical. He couldn’t believe that this young woman’s medical skills surpassed his own.
When faced with this doubt, Yan Ling didn’t respond, but the director couldn’t hold back. He said coldly, “Professor He, just because you can’t do it, doesn’t mean Director Yan can’t.”
Challenged, the professor was now irate, “Humph, she’s making groundless claims. Unless she’s the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, it’s impossible!”
“Hua Tuo may not be around, but Director Yan is the student of Lady Xin Yuan, one of our Hua Country’s Ancient Medical Inheritors!”
At the mention of Lady Xin Yuan’s student and Ancient Medical Inheritor, everyone was shocked and gasped in awe.
What do you think?
