Luke nodded in agreement to her suggestion.
Brain surgeries were complicated and required highly-skilled doctors.
When Johann was operating on Sarah, he could not help but frown at the scars from
previous operations.
He was usually calm and patient in the operating room, but this was the first time the
assistant, anesthesiologist, and others heard him curse, “If that f*cker can't perform
surgery properly, then he shouldn't have operated at all. What the hell are these sutures?
Was he trying to kill the patient?"
The assistant sighed resignedly and said, "Even the standard ten years ago would be
better than this. How could this stop the bleeding?"
"Doctors like him should get their *sses back in medical school and study for a few more
years," said Johann. He was angry at the doctors in Mercy Hospital for performing brain
surgery haphazardly as if they were playing around.
How would this stop the patient's bleeding?
Was the patient's life a joke to them?
They were not in a rural area but in A City. How could a hospital like Mercy Hospital exist
until now?
The medical interns trembled without saying a word.
Medical schools were divided into different levels. Those with good SAT scores would enter
better medical schools and be assigned to better hospitals for residency. A good medical
school and hospital was the best way for them to kick-start their career as doctors. As for
them, they trained under a highly- skilled doctor, so they got a headstart compared to
others.
However, not everyone could be admitted to an excellent medical school. If they entered
an average medical school, they would be assigned to a hospital that was subpar.
Without access to better hospitals, they lacked experience and good mentors, and
therefore...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe assistant sighed. "Not everyone has the privilege to have access to great medical
educational resources."
Johann agreed with that statement.
However, they should transfer operations on the spot to a higher-level hospital if they
were not confident. Instead, they performed the operation themselves.
Was the patient's life a joke to them?
That was the reason Johann was angry.
“How are the patient's vital signs?" Johann continued with the operation. The main
concern right now was removing the blood clot in the brain and stopping the patient's
bleeding.
"The vital signs are stable," said the anesthesiologist.
Johann continued to perform the operation carefully. He had to find every bleeding point,
put a stop to it, and remove the blood clot and excess fluid in order to rescue the patient.
Meticulous surgeries took a long time, and by the time the surgery ended, it was already
past nine in the evening.
Sarah had survived the first obstacle for now.
There were no complications during the operation, and neither was there a sudden drop in
blood pressure or cardiac arrest.
Overall, it went pretty well.
Whether there would be bleeding again or other complications depended on the recovery
period.
When Johann walked out of the operating room, he saw Luca and Luke.
He was not surprised to see Luke. How could Luke leave Luca sitting outside of the
operating room alone?
After seeing Johann walk out, Luca went up to him and asked, "Dr. Park, how is the patient
doing?"
"There's a significant amount of bleeding in the brain. During the operation, the bleeding
was stopped, and the blood clot and excess fluid were removed. The patient is currently in
stable condition, but everything will still depend on the recovery period. The hemorrhage
was severe, so there might be aftereffects, but we can only know for sure after the patient
wakes up. However, I should warn you that for patients whose treatment was delayed,
there's a small probability that they won't wake up. The patient will not be sent to the
ward right away. She'll be under observation in the ICU. She'll only be sent to the ward if
she wakes up in stable condition," said Johann.
Although Sarah's operation was successful, they did not know when she would wake up.
Johann thought that the operation had been delayed for too long.
If Sarah had been sent here to be operated on when the blood vessel in her brain had just
burst, the recovery would have been relatively quick.
Luca was relieved, yet her heart felt heavy.
Johann had rescued her from the Grim Reaper, but it was still unknown what would
happen to Sarah after this.
She met Luke's eyes, and he said, "Mhm."
Johann reminded them, "By the way, you should inform the patient's family in case their
signature is needed."
Luca and Luke looked at each other as they were caught in a dilemma.
Sarah's only family was Marcos.
Although she had been saved, Johann could not guarantee what would happen next.
"Alright," said Luke as Luca did not reply.
Johann thought that they were acting weird. What was with their expressions?
Who was her family?
Johann did not know the answer, but he noticed how rough Sarah's skin was before the
operation. She did not look like she was from a family who could indulge in skincare
products. Instead, it seemed like she lived a rough life.
However, he knew that if she had lived a comfortable life, she would not have chosen to
receive treatment at a small hospital like Mercy Hospital after being diagnosed with a
cerebral aneurysm.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Johann left, Luca looked hesitant.
“Let's go pay the deposit. The cost of treatment in the ICU is high," said Luke. He was not
complaining about the treatment costs, but the deposit the hospital asked for previously
would not last for more than a few days with the operation and ICU stay.
Luca nodded and agreed with him, so they walked to the payment counter together.
It was already nighttime. There were still many people in the hospital but much fewer
compared to daytime.
There were not many people at the payment counter, so Luca could quickly pay Sarah's
fees.
After that, Luca was not in a hurry to go home because the children were at Crawford
Manor, so they were quite free.
"Should we tell Mr. Marcos?" she asked again.
Sarah was fine for the time being, but what about after Marcos saw her?
"Let's tell him. Marcos should see her as she overcomes this obstacle so that he won't be
left with any regrets." After saying that, Luke picked up his phone to call Marcos.
Marcos was sitting in the car, watching the street view.
For the past few days, he had been thinking of going this way as he had not given up
looking for his mother.
With the help of Gale's cover, no one noticed.
When his phone rang, Marcos lowered his blue eyes and saw that it was Luke, so he
accepted the call. "Hello."
"Have the driver send you to General Hospital," said Luke.
Visitors were allowed in the ICU, but not after 11. If Marcos came here a little faster, he
could still see Sarah.
"What happened?" Marcos had a bad feeling.
"Luca found your biological mother, and Johann just operated on her. Visitors aren't
allowed in the ICU after 11, so ask the driver to drive faster," Luke said simply as he did
not want to tell him the specifics over the phone.
Marcos froze. After finishing the call, he asked the driver to take him to General Hospital.
