“They’re insane!”
2669 Words
As long as Old Mr Volkov’s family members signed the consent form for the operation, they could save his life with permission. Even if he died, it would have nothing to do with the hospital or doctors because they would have done their best.
However, with Old Mr. Volkov's current symptoms, it was obvious that his family couldn’t arrive before it was too late. If no measures were taken, he would die in ten minutes.
“Professor Carter, let’s wait for his family.” A young deputy chief doctor Julie tentatively said,
“In case of unauthorized surgery…’
If something went wrong, Mr. Volkov would not let them go!
”
Under such circumstances, they couldn’t make the call and save the patient!
Old Mr. Volkov was going to die today.
“In my opinion, we should give him a sedative and a booster before his family arrives!” Julie suggested again.
The other doctors didn’t have a better solution. They were silent and looked at Professor Carter as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.
Seeing that Professor Carter didn’t speak, Julie simply acted as the “bad guy” and ordered the nurse at the side, “Go get the sedative and booster.”
The nurse turned and was about to go get it.

Stella at the door said lazily again, “If you do that, he will die.”
As long as the sedative and booster were used, no one could save him.
Given Old Mr. Volkov’s current physical condition, he was too weak to bear the effects of medicine.
After these two doses of medicine were injected, it could only give him a brief period of sobriety. Within half an hour, he would die.
“Who are you, young girl? Go away. We, adults, are very busy and don’t have time to chat with you.”
Julie disliked Stella. The experts and doctors were discussing countermeasures. What was she doing here? She would only cause trouble.
“Quack.” stella was too lazy to waste time with them and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Julie couldn’t hold back, and snapped,
“Who are you talking to? Stop!”
“Julie don’t fight with a teenager. Old Mr. Volkov’s condition is critical now.” The male director persuaded her nicely.
“She called me a quack!!” Julie looked at stella angrily.
She was the most qualified and youngest deputy chief doctor among this group of doctors. She won many awards and praise. How dare this young girl question her medical skills?!
“She doesn’t understand the situation. Why would you fight with her?”
The male director was very anxious and just wanted to solve Old Mr. Volkov’s matter quickly.
No matter what, he could not die in a hospital, or everyone present would be implicated.
Now he couldn’t be operated on, but they couldn’t watch him die without doing anything. It seemed that they could only give him a sedative and a booster now.
“Who did you call a quack just now?” Julie came to Stella and asked angrily
“Go ahead. I’m listening.”
“Who else could it be except you?” Stella raised her eyes slightly, obviously not taking her seriously.
“You…” This d amn girl was so bold!
Stella folded her arms and said in a casual tone, “In his current situation, there is no other way but surgery.”
“Surgery? It’s easy for you to say.” Julie laughed angrily,
“Old Mr. Volkov has undergone five heart operations. There is no good place in his heart. There is no hospital where a doctor dares to perform a sixth heart operation on his scarred heart in the whole country, let alone our Cameron Hospital!”
“Forget it, Julie.” The male director just wanted to calm things down, but he obviously couldn’t persuade her when she was so
angry.
“With Old Mr. Volkov’s situation, no matter in the domestic literature or foreign literature, we have never seen a similar case! It can be said that he is the only case from ancient times to the present!”
Julie said loudly, “Do you know how difficult the operation could be? We have communicated with many well-known cardiac surgeons at home and abroad, and no one could come up with a better solution!”
Stella raised her eyebrows and said lazily, “That’s because you’re not good enough.”
“You can do it?” Julie sneered, “Then go ahead and do it!”
Stella glanced at the old man on the hospital bed. There was a trace of wanton sharpness on her face, and her tone was casual,
“You can’t afford it.”
Julie was extremely amused,
“Old Mr. Volkov is not an ordinary person. Money is just a number for him. If you can save him, I will do anything you say, let alone money!”
Stella raised her eyebrows, “OK.”
“You’re bold!” Julie didn’t take her words seriously,
“Have you graduated from high school? Do you know where a heart is? Surgery is not just a few random strokes with a knife. Do you think it’s cutting steak in a restaurant and you can cut it any way you want? I don’t care where you come from. Just apologize to me, and then leave. I will pretend that nothing has happened!”
Stella glanced at the badge on her left chest, and said disapprovingly,
“You’re the deputy director of cardiac surgery and you don’t even know how to replace artificial valves. How dare you ask me to apologize?”
“You…”
“You are worse than a quack.”
“Listen, what is this d amn girl talking about?!” Julie was furious.
The female director on the side murmured, “She knows about artificial valve replacement…”
An ordinary young girl knew such a professional term. Did she know medicine?
The male director was also aware of this, looking at Stella with shock in his eyes. He discussed with Aubrey in a low voice,
“Why don’t you let her try? Maybe she has a solution.”
“Mr. Bruce, you’re insane! How can you even believe what a young girl like her says?!”
Before Julie finished her sentence, another doctor whispered, “If something goes wrong, it can be blamed on her…”
“She’s not a doctor at the hospital!” Julie turned back and lowered her voice, whispering,
“Who is Mr. Volkov? If something goes wrong, all of us present couldn’t get away! Do you think it’s enough to find a girl to take the blame?”
She looked back at Stella with contempt in her eyes,
“If she knows medicine, she would have been famous long ago, and she would have been a director here!”
The male director was helpless, “But right now we don’t have a better solution…”
“How about…”
the female director said, “we ask Dr. Bennett Robinson to come here?”
Bennett was a recognized genius in the hospital, but…
“Dr. Robinson was a very proud man. He wouldn’t treat a patient that he’s not responsible for.”
Julie was very aware of this, so she hadn’t bothered him with this matter.
He had a bad temper, and he would probably kick them out ruthlessly.
“Now what should we do?”
Perhaps their voices were too loud and there were seven or eight people outside the ward watching, discussing something in a low voice.
Professor Carter was afraid she would make the situation worse, so he persuaded her, saying,
“Lady, the operation is difficult. I am an expert in this area for decades, but I have no confidence. Old Mr. Volkov’s condition is dangerous. Except for the deceased famous doctor Mr. Black, no one could guarantee his survival after the operation. We also want to save him, but we don’t have the ability. There’s nothing we can do to help.”
They could only give Old Mr. Volkov heart-stabilizing and heart- unchoking shots now. And they would not dare to conduct the operation before his family members arrived and signed the operation consent. After all, they were afraid of Mr. Volkov’s power.
Stella suddenly asked, “Did you say whoever completes the surgery would be paid?”
Professor Carter was stunned for half a second and hurriedly replied, “Yes.”
Old Mr. Volkov was a big shot. As long as anyone could save his life, Professor Carter was willing to give him or her a large amount of money.
Stella had earned a lot of money for the Blake family, but they had never given any to her. And she had almost spent all her savings on curing Old Madam Blake’s illness. So, she wanted to make some money by giving a minor operation.
Stella’s beautiful eyes were flashing with confidence, and she was exuding a tough aura. Seeing this, Professor Carter couldn’t help
asking, “Have you studied medicine?”
Stella showed a faint smile on her crimson lips and said, “I can use bistouries.”
“What’s your operation plan?”
“I will do a heart valve replacement operation. But I want Bennett to be my assistant.”
Hearing this, Julie thought she was dreaming and snorted,
“Who do you think you are? Do you know who Bennett is? I can ask him here. But he will never agree to be your assistant! If he agrees, I will give you my head, and you can kick it as a football.”
Then, she turned to look at Professor Carter and said with disdain, “Professor Carter, don’t waste time talking with her. We’re running out of time. Let’s give him heart-stabilizing and heart-unchoking shots first!”
She then looked at a nurse and ordered, “Go get the medicine. And tell the security guard there is a lu natic here.”
The nurse bumped into Bennett on the way and hurriedly told him what was going on.
Soon, a familiar voice rang through the ward, “I heard you’re looking for me?”
Everyone looked over and was shocked to see Bennett. After all, they had not expected him to come.
Why had the nurse invited him over? Why had a such big shot come because of a nurse’s words?
“Dr. Robinson, you came just in time.”
Julie seized the opportunity to humiliate Isabella, saying, “She is so bold that she wants you to be her assistant."
When Bennett glanced at Stella, the latter was casually standing aside as if all the attacks couldn’t hurt her.
He slightly frowned at Julie because he was dissatisfied with her rudeness. Then, he looked at the other doctors and asked,
“What’s going on?”
“This is a special case that has never happened at home or abroad,”
Julie hastily explained and deliberately pushed a wisp of hair behind her ear to reveal her side face.
She thought she was beautiful and wanted to impress Bennett.
“What are you waiting for?”
Bennett reluctantly accepted the hot potato for the sake of Isabella and blankly said,
“Let’s start the surgery.”
“Dr. Robinson, why are you doing this with her?”
Julie had not expected him to agree, so she was stunned for a second. Then, she hurriedly said,
“The operation’s success rate is less than 10%. Old Mr. Volkov is noble. If anything goes wrong, we can’t bear the consequence!”
Bennett showed a displeased look and coldly said,
“If anything goes wrong, it will have nothing to do with you.”
“Dr. Robinson!”
“I will bear it alone.”
All the other doctors were stunned, wondering why he decided to do
such a ri ridiculous thing with the girl.
Bennett didn’t want to waste more time with them, so he glanced at Isabella and said,
“Come with me.”
He intended to take her to the operating room.
While passing by Julie, Stella slightly smiled,
“Didn’t you say you will give me your head and let me kick it?”
“You…”
Julie was speechless. She indeed had said if Bennett agreed to be Stella’s assistant, she would give her head to her. After all, she had never expected him to agree.
Bennett was always arrogant. Why had he suddenly changed? Was it because the girl was pretty?
Stella showed a faint smile on her pretty lips and said,
“Don’t forget your promise.”
“What promise?” Julie suddenly remembered it and added,
“I said if you can save Old Mr. Volkov’s life, I will kneel and call you ancestor. But I’m afraid you don’t have the ability! Don’t try to blame us if you k ill him during the operation!”
Stella slowly smiled and said with an indifferent look,
“Even if you call me ancestor, I will not recognize you as my descendant!”
“You!”
“You just need to kneel,” Stella said and followed Bennett to leave.
Looking at her back, Julie flew into a rage and shouted, “If you make it, I can even give you my position as the deputy director, let alone kneel!”
She patted her badge and continued, “Let’s see whether you have the ability to take it!”
Hearing their “bet”, Bennett casually asked, “How did you get into a fight with her?”
“Because she is much too arrogant and ignorant.”
Stella wanted to teach her a lesson and let her know there were always some people who were more capable than her.
After two nurses wheeled Old Mr. Volkov into the operating room, the doctors in the ward looked at each other.
“They’re insane!”
.
“How could Old Mr. Volkov undergo an operation in such a condition? Dr. Robinson is too young! He does not know the consequences of failure! It will not only ruin his reputation and career!”
Mr. Volkov was powerful. If anything happened to Old Mr. Volkov, Mr. Volkov would kill all of them!
“Professor Carter, are we letting them do it? This is human life!”
“Old Mr. Volkov is noble! How can we let them mess around like this? Professor Carter, please make a quick decision!”
“Yes! Hurry up and stop them before it’s too late!”
Although the others were anxious, the female director held a glimmer of hope and said,
“Dr. Robinson is from a medical family,
and his ancestors have been medical geniuses for generations. Although he is not as good as Selby, his superb medical skills may bring Old Mr. Volkov back to life.”
The male director cchocd, “Dr. Robinson is a genius doctor praised by everyone. As long as he is in the operation room, there may be a miracle.”
Mr. Easton anxiously said, “You’re confused. He will only assist the girl. The girl is the surgeon! How old is she? She has never studied medicine! Professor Carter, please prevent them!”
“Mr. Easton, what are you worried about? Dr. Robinson said he will bear it alone if anything goes wrong!”
“But Old Mr. Volkov is Mr. Volkov’s grandfather! If he dies, Mr. Volkov will blame us for not stopping Dr. Robinson!”
Julie gritted her teeth and said, “We will say Dr. Robinson insists on doing this operation so much that we can’t stop him!”
She thought Bennett would only have himself to blame since he had agreed to assist the girl with the operation. The girl must not know Old Mr. Volkov’s real identity. Otherwise, she would have long run away in fright instead of taking the hot potato.
