Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All-Chapter 216 - 215 Lost
Chapter 216: Chapter 215 Lost
The next day, Chi Gui received a message from Mrs. Su’s attending physician at the sanatorium: "Professor Chi, the patient’s condition is gradually worsening. Conservative treatment is of no use anymore. It’s best to perform surgery immediately within these two days."
Chi Gui put down her phone and pondered for a moment. freewёbnoνel.com
Last time she visited Mrs. Su, she had already noticed the problem.
She then suggested conservative treatment, partly because Mrs. Su had a weak constitution, and partly because the tumor was located in a very dangerous area of the brain nerves, making the surgery too risky.
Friends Chi Gui knew were all currently scheduled for surgeries, and she couldn’t find a suitable lead surgeon.
But Mrs. Su’s condition was deteriorating faster than she had imagined.
Chi Gui was searching in her mind for any suitable candidates when a WeChat message suddenly popped up.
She lowered her eyes, glanced at the sender’s name, and slightly raised her eyebrows.
Oh, how could she have forgotten this person?
-
Half an hour later.
Chi Gui followed the attending physician to Mrs. Su’s ward.
Xia Yong’s attitude had completely changed upon seeing Chi Gui again.
Previously, he had been enthusiastic but had treated her a bit like a child; now, he was full of respect.
"Please, have a seat," Xia Yong moved a stool next to Chi Gui.
His wife brought a glass of water over.
Su Niannian, who should have been hosting her friend, ended up being the least busy of all.
Chi Gui didn’t sit, took the water with thanks, and then turned to look at Mrs. Su.
The attending physician had already spoken, briefing them on Mrs. Su’s recent condition before looking at the four increasingly serious people and saying, "My personal recommendation is to remove the tumor as soon as possible to prevent more serious compression on the brain nerves... but if we proceed, the risk will be significant..."
Although his medical skills ranked in the top one hundred nationwide, in the sanatorium... he was only a duty doctor and the director.
The true responsibility for the treatment and surgery lay with the Expert Group.
These heavyweights were usually very busy, appearing only when needed.
When Professor Chi had called to ask him to take personal charge of this patient, he was startled, terrified that it was some important person from Capital City who was going to be transferred over.
Although it turned out to be an ordinary person, which surprised him, he nevertheless did not dare to slack off.
Hearing the attending physician say this, Xia Yong, Su Niannian, and Xia Yong’s wife immediately became very anxious, hurriedly asking, "Is the risk very high? What will happen if the surgery fails?"
The attending physician looked at Chi Gui, who gave a slight nod, prompting him to speak the hard truth: "The risk is extremely high, and there may even be a risk of death. But if we do not proceed, the patient may only have one more year to live..."
Su Niannian’s face instantly turned as white as paper.
If they went ahead, death during surgery was a very real possibility...
If they did nothing, there was only one more year to live...
The attending physician understood their feelings; after speaking, he left to let them discuss among themselves.
Mrs. Su herself seemed quite accepting, smilingly saying, "Then let’s go ahead with it. The doctor said before that the tumor is benign, it’s just in a bad location. If we delay, it could turn malignant, and then even if we operate it would be useless... Since death is inevitable both ways, it might be worth the gamble."
Su Niannian pressed her lips together, unable to say a word.
Xia Yong paused, about to say something, when his phone’s ringtone suddenly sounded.
He glanced at the caller ID, his expression showing disgust, and directly hung up.
But then, a text message came through.
After glancing at the message, Xia Yong finally let out a sigh, "A friend has arrived; I’ll go out to meet him."
With that, he walked out with his phone.
Meanwhile, Chi Gui also received a message: "Professor, where exactly is this sanatorium? Your Huaxia roads are too difficult to navigate, I’m lost..."
