Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 2008: [] She Has Secrets to Tell

Huang Zhilei hadn’t left yet and showed concern for his junior sister: "Did you have breakfast?"

"I did, I had the breakfast Senior Cao bought this morning," Xie Wanying truthfully answered Senior Brother Huang.

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhilei adjusted his glasses, the lenses glinting: So, junior sister and Senior Cao met privately.

Cao Yong took the medical record handed by the family member and opened it, needing to review it carefully.

Huang Zhilei invited the patient and their family to sit on the sofa.

If a doctor is thoroughly reviewing medical records, it takes some time.

Xie Wanying went to pour some hot water for Doctor Hu and the others.

Sitting down in the office chair, Cao Yong pulled out a pen from the pocket of his white coat, calmed his mind, and began making notes while reviewing the medical record.

While waiting for the doctor to speak, the patient and family felt like a water bucket being jostled up and down, akin to a prisoner waiting for their verdict. At this moment, a word from the doctor could seemingly determine the patient’s future life outcome.

Mr. Liu gulped down a couple of sips of water to calm his nerves, but the more he drank, the thirstier he felt, and the anxiety in his heart couldn’t be soothed until everything was resolved.

Doctor Hu didn’t pick up the cup and didn’t drink water, like an immortal who wasn’t hungry or thirsty.

To ease Teacher Hu’s tension, Xie Wanying talked about the child from last night: "I called NICU this morning, asked Senior Luo, and everyone said that the child had made it through the night with good indicators, the ventilator was effective, the medication worked, and in a few days, he could be taken off the machine and prepared to leave the NICU."

The child managed to survive a major crisis, not disappointing everyone’s expectations.

Doctor Hu’s stern face finally showed a trace of a smile.

Mr. Liu sighed deeply. His wife was still saving people last night. If her eyes weren’t a problem, she would probably work as a doctor until her last breath.

After the events of last night, Doctor Hu’s mindset had indeed changed, her emotions somewhat relaxed, and she resigned herself to not being able to work anymore. She said to Student Xie, "You can talk about your matters; I said I could help you."

Cao Yong, who was quite a distance away, clearly heard their conversation and looked over in confusion.

Huang Zhilei turned his head, curious, imagining: What is junior sister talking about privately with Doctor Hu?

It wasn’t appropriate to speak in front of Senior Brother, so Xie Wanying thanked Doctor Hu and prepared to discuss it with her next time, thinking that her mother’s situation was far less urgent than Doctor Hu’s eye issue.

Time ticked away by the minute.

Following instructions, Huang Zhilei went to the operating room to prepare and left the office.

Cao Yong put down his pen and the medical record, got up, and walked around the desk to speak with the patient and family in front of the coffee table.

"Dr. Cao, please speak frankly, don’t hold back," Mr. Liu encouraged the doctor to explain the situation clearly, saying, "My wife said she has long known her condition wasn’t good."

The family feared the doctor might be hesitant, so Cao Yong acknowledged their intent: "Her condition is not very good."

Mr. Liu’s heart pounded in panic as he glanced nervously at his wife sitting beside him. While he encouraged the doctor to be frank, when truly hearing bad news, no one can bear it—he had overplayed his bravado.

Compared to her husband, Doctor Hu was calmer. She couldn’t say she wasn’t a bit disappointed; rather, the outcome was somewhat expected. Cao Yong took out a sheet of white paper, using a diagram to help explain to the family: "This is the ophthalmic artery. These fine vessels at the end of the ophthalmic artery are crucial, supplying the retina central artery and its branches, which are vital to the retinal cells of our eyes."
