1225 Words
Nancy glanced at Fabian timidly, "The patient is in the operation room."
"Operation? Didn't you say that Dr. Tse is not here yet?" Fabian asked.
Nancy immediately explained, "Zachary is doing the operation. He said that the patient is in a critical situation. So, he insisted that we couldn't wait any longer."
"Zachary? Is he from your hospital?" Fabian looked at the doctor.
The doctor was shocked to hear Zachary's name. He stammered, "Zachary is a student from the School of Chinese Medicine. He is an intern in our hospital."
"An intern?" Fabian shouted. "Didn't you say that you regular doctors couldn't handle the surgery because the situation is too complicated? Is a mere intern better than all of you?"
The doctor was sweating profusely. He didn't know how to answer at all.
"Also, Zachary is just a Chinese physician," Nancy added idiotically.
"What?" Anger swelled up within Fabian's chest, and his eyes were burning with fire. It was terrible enough that he had gotten Vanessa into an accident. Now, a Chinese medicine intern was operating on her? It was absolutely ridiculous.
"None of you will be free from responsibility if anything happens to Vanessa!" Fabian's face was black with fury.
The nurse pleaded instinctively, "It's not my fault. I tried to stop him. But, I couldn't..."
"What's going on?"
A voice interrupted Nancy as she was trying to defend herself.
Looking in the direction where the voice had come from, a fat middle-aged man was seen getting out of a Mercedes. The man walked towards them, reeking of alcohol.
"Dr. Tse!" The doctors and nurses hurried over to greet him, and they quickly explained the situation at hand.
After listening to them, Dr. Tse couldn't help but frown. "The patient is having internal bleeding in the brain. She needs a craniotomy. However, our hospital does not have the appropriate equipment, so I am afraid that it would be difficult for us to carry out this surgery. If I were to operate on her, I would say that I have less than 40% confidence."
"What do you mean?" Fabian raged.
"Dr. Tse, this is Fabian, who is the Young Master of the Huang Group. The patient is his friend," The doctor explained in a hurry.
Dr. Tse's heart skipped a beat when he heard the Huang Group being mentioned. He cleared his mind and tried not to be affected by the alcohol as he attempted to figure out a solution quickly. He would have proceeded with the operation if it was just a normal patient, since he would not be in any trouble even if the success rate was not high. Even if there were any problems arising from the surgery, no one would dare to argue against him within the hospital!
However, the patient was a friend of Young Master Huang. Things were different now. It was hard to tell whether the operation would succeed. He would also be in trouble if there were any side effects arising from the operation.
As he was thinking about it, Dr. Tse dispelled the idea of surgery. He was not willing to take on responsibility. He said to Fabian, "Young Master Huang, it is a complex procedure. Our hospital is not equipped to support this surgery. I would suggest that you transfer the patient to another hospital."
"I've been waiting for you for half an hour, and now you tell me to transfer her to another hospital?" Fabian grabbed Dr. Tse by the collar.
Dr. Tse gave a wry smile as he explained, "Young Master Huang, it's not that I don't want to operate on the patient. It's just that the risk is too high. I'm less than 40% confident of the success of the operation..." He would not be willing to take on such a risk.
Someone murmured next to him, "Dr. Tse, the operation has begun."
"What do you mean?" Dr. Tse asked, "Who is doing the operation?"
"Zachary!"
Upon hearing the name, Dr. Tse was no longer tipsy. He shouted angrily, "What a mess! Who gave him the right to operate on the patient?"
Everyone was silent.
At that moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and Zachary walked out. Looking at the group of people outside the operating room, he said, "The operation is done. Most of the blood resulting from the internal bleeding in the patient's brain has been removed. Please don't move the patient for now, and try to keep her in her current posture. She will recover once the remaining blood has drained out."
Dr. Tse stepped forward and glared at Zachary, bellowing, "Who asked you to perform the operation? Who gave you permission to do it? Can you bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong? It's not only you who will be getting into trouble, but the reputation of our hospital will also be affected!"
Dr. Tse was furious. He would be the one to bear the responsibility if anything went wrong because he was on-call tonight.
Zachary couldn't help but frown in disgust, dissatisfaction rising in his heart. As the Herbal King, he had always prioritized saving people's lives.
Unexpectedly, in this era, Dr. Tse and the nurse would always put responsibility in the first place. They would push the patients away when they were scared of being held responsible. Where were their medical ethics?
"Don't worry. The patient is fine now. I will bear the responsibility if there is anything wrong," Zachary said coldly.
Dr. Tse sneered, "Is the patient really fine? How could it be possible? There was internal bleeding in the brain. She needs a craniotomy. You are just an intern, how dare you say that she is fine?"
Zachary didn't even bother to talk to him anymore. He just walked away. He needed a good rest now. It had taken him a lot of energy to perform the Miraculous Nine Spikes.
Fabian stood in front of Zachary, blocking his way. He looked at Zachary in disdain, "Do you know about Vanessa's social status? I can assure you that you will end up in prison for the rest of your life if anything goes wrong with her."
Zachary's face darkened. As the Herbal King of his generation, many people had sought treatment from him. However, this guy was talking to him with such a bad attitude now. Zachary was extremely displeased.
"I will treat my patients equally regardless of their social status. I'll be responsible for this," He said.
"Hmph, can you afford to bear the responsibility?" Fabian glared at Zachary. Then, he shouted at Dr. Tse harshly, "Dr. Tse, I don't want to see this person anymore. Tell him to leave the hospital now!"
Dr. Tse nodded vigorously and turned to Zachary with a ferocious look on his face, "Pack your stuff and get out of here!"
"I have cured the patient. Also, my internship period in this hospital has not expired yet. How can you ask me to leave? This is not in line with the rules of the hospital," Zachary replied indifferently.
"Rules?" Dr. Tse repeated. Then, he roared, "You did the operation without permission. That was against the rules! How dare you still talk about your internship? You should be glad that no one is asking you to bear the responsibility for this. Get out of here now!"
