Doctors at the hospital won’t say they dislike doing business with wealthy people; on the contrary, earning a living in this way is not shabby.

Doing business with wealthy people yields high profits, and the money earned can be used to update equipment and instruments at the hospital, benefiting all patients—it’s truly rewarding. However, it is not easy for domestic hospitals to engage in business with the wealthy. The affluent adore the advanced medical technologies of developed countries, resulting in money being earned by foreigners. This is the most distressing point for domestic hospital doctors.

It’s not that domestic doctors can’t perform surgeries, but rather that their instruments are not as advanced, their medicines are not as new, and the pace of updates is slower than others. Medicine requires not only the hard work of doctors but also comprehensive collaboration from logistics departments including pharmaceuticals, equipment, and instruments.

The opportunity domestic doctors can grasp is only: Alas, foreigners have all concluded that this patient is destined to die, so they can only return home to try again.

Some compatriots value their native land; if they must die, dying in their home country is preferable to dying abroad.

For patients willing to seek treatment at home, domestic hospital doctors always open this door to welcome them, as compatriots express compassion toward compatriots.

After rummaging for a while, Zhang Huayao placed his fingers on the table in front of Director Liang and knocked them unceremoniously.

Liang Baichuan, aware of what information he wanted, said, "The patient’s request is to be able to conceive and have children. The opinion from foreign experts is to perform a heart-lung combined transplant. Her family inquired and believed that this surgery was too significant, and post heart-lung transplant, her chances to conceive and give birth were unlikely."

Patients who undergo organ transplants need to take antirejection medications for many years; female patients face a high risk of fetal deformity if they wish to conceive again due to these medications. Internationally, there are precedents of patients who have successfully given birth to healthy children after becoming pregnant, but they are extremely rare cases and cannot be used as references. Clinical doctors generally advise patients to take contraceptive measures.

"Given her condition, refusing a heart-lung transplant would be fatal. To desire a child is akin to disregarding one’s life." Zhang Huayao made this statement without posing any question marks, but as a factual sentence, indicating that in clinical practice, there are countless heroic mothers ready to die for the sake of a child. Doctors become numb to frequently encountering such patients. Don’t think this is exclusive to obstetrics and gynecology; other departments encounter the same scenario, with diseases that prevent childbirth not limited to gynecological ailments.

"We must respect the patient’s own wishes." Liang Baichuan solemnly conveyed in a professional tone.

When doctors address patients’ issues, they offer only medical professional opinions and cannot impose their own will on patients. Doctors have no compelling authority over life.

When the patient’s sole wish is to live, no one can obstruct it. Though doctors are well aware, many patients will regret it in the terminal stage of life, but it will be too late.

Zhang Huayao rubbed the stubble on his chin thoughtfully.

"She and her family heard that domestic doctors actually perform surgeries better than foreign doctors. Medication won’t cure her disease, so why not try domestic doctors?" Liang Baichuan expressed the patient’s thoughts and, observing Zhang Huayao’s silence, suggested, "Otherwise, Director Zhang, you could gather other doctors at our hospital for a meeting to discuss this matter, brainstorm, and ultimately provide feedback to the patient."

A figure immediately popped into Zhang Huayao’s mind, as he raised his wrist to check the watch: At this hour, has Student Xie arrived at their hospital? He probably has.

Let’s go and meet Student Xie.

After tidying the medical records on the desk, he instructed the director’s secretary to deliver them to his personal office for further research. Zhang Huayao stood up and said to Director Liang, "Let me consult someone and then provide a result."
