My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s-Chapter 466 - 460: Cannot Undergo Surgery
Chapter 466: Chapter 460: Cannot Undergo Surgery
“Teacher, it’s not that we’re unwilling to perform this surgery. You probably know that among our doctors, only one person can do it. So far, she’s the only one who has performed this kind of operation in our hospital. The other doctors dare not take it because there’s no absolute guarantee.”
“Then let her do it.”
The person on the other end of the phone made a firm decision, “That’s how we’re going to decide. Arrange the surgery immediately. It would be best if it could be completed tonight. And I want it to be flawless. The patient’s legs must be saved. Any mistake is unacceptable, or else the patient’s family will not agree.”

Director Zhu was somewhat furious, ‘What’s this? ‘We can’t make any mistakes?’ We’re doctors, not gods. During the operation, all sorts of unforeseen incidents can happen. We can only do our best to ensure the patient’s safety and the success rate of the operation. But we can’t guarantee that nothing will go wrong. If every doctor is expected to achieve perfection, why do we need family members to sign a series of preoperative agreements?’
He had been a doctor for nearly forty years and dared not entertain such thoughts, let alone have such confidence. Whoever has such confidence should come to him and he would let them be the Dean.
Of course, these were words he dared not express. He had to patiently explain to the person on the other end of the line.
...
“Teacher, we can’t arrange the operation now.”
“Why can’t you arrange it? Give me a reason?” The person on the other end of the line spoke colder, adding a few warnings, seemingly implying that if Director Zhu didn’t give a proper explanation, he wouldn’t spare him.
Director Zhu took a breath and tried to calm his voice, “Our doctor who can perform this surgery is currently operating on a patient with a serious compound fracture in the arm, which could lead to amputation. That operation could last at least three hours, or as many as seven or eight. We can’t possibly arrange another operation now.”
“What about after this operation?”
The person on the other end of the line didn’t finish speaking before being interrupted by Director Zhu, “I’m sorry, teacher. Even after this operation, that doctor can’t take it. She just donated bone marrow and hasn’t fully recovered. She can’t even stand. Tell me, how does she perform another operation that could take eight or nine hours after completing a seven or eight hour surgery?”
The person on the other end of the line fell silent. After all, the reality was that the doctor was in the middle of a surgery and that operation couldn’t be halted for the sake of an unofficial patient.
In their hospital, in front of them, patients were all equal. Regardless of who they were, as long as they were admitted, they were patients, and they would put forth the same effort and dedication for every one of them.
And doctors are human too. After such a challenging surgery, it would be a miracle if Tang Yuxin could hold on. She simply couldn’t take on a second surgery right after.
Even on a normal day, it would be impossible for her to perform two high-difficulty and concentration-demanding surgeries back-to-back, let alone now, when she might not even be able to complete one surgery, much less two.
So Director Zhu simply can’t agree to this. For Tang Yuxin’s sake, and for the sake of her patient, he won’t take this risk.
Meanwhile, the color drained from Wei Jiani’s face. She had been biting her lip, holding back from interjecting. But things have become even more critical than she had imagined. What should she do?
Because they came so hurriedly, without booking an appointment beforehand, she thought that as long as the leader on the other end of the phone was present, Director Zhu would understand and agree, no matter the circumstances. However, she didn’t anticipate this.
They had just arrived, but that doctor was already in the middle of a surgery that would take a long time. The most troublesome part was that that doctor, of all people, had just donated bone marrow. As a medical student herself, Wei Jiani knew all too well that people who had donated bone marrow needed to rest in bed for at least half a month. The real recovery time might be even longer.
The doctor could hardly stand, let alone perform a surgery on someone else.
Just as they were all silent and out of ideas, a nurse hurriedly ran in.
“Director Zhu, the patient who was just brought in seems to be in critical condition.”
We Jiani’s face turned ghostly pale.
What should she do? She was at a loss. She had initially only wanted to show her capabilities, and that’s why she intervened when the doctors wanted to amputate the patient’s leg. She remembered seeing Shen Fei’s medical records when she was at the general hospital. Although the hospital kept them confidential, her teacher had secretly told her about them.
Their hospital could perform surgery to repair compound fractures. It’s just that the procedure hadn’t been widely adopted yet, and only one person could perform it. But who that was, she didn’t know. The surgeon hadn’t told her because of a disruption at the time. But the fact remained that it could be treated.
She certainly gambled right. It could be treated and amputation was unnecessary. However, who could have foreseen that the doctor in question had just donated bone marrow and was in the middle of another surgery?
Now Wei Jiani was in hot water. If something happened to the patient, she would be held responsible. She can’t withstand the anger of these wealthy people who would tear her apart.
If they were still at their hospital and she hadn’t suggested this, the patient would at most have lost a leg, but still have his life.
If the patient lost his life here, these wealthy people would surely blame her, and she can’t bear the accusations and consequences.
In the ward, the young man’s face had turned nearly ashen, he was barely breathing and even went into shock due to infection.
Although he was brought back, he was still in grave danger. They either had to amputate his limb immediately or await death.
“Get that doctor to save my son,” the woman turned around and yelled at Director Zhu, “We’ll pay. No matter how much it costs, my son can’t die. And I won’t allow amputation.”
