Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s
Chapter 606 - Chapter 606 【606】Bet she can or cannot make it

Chapter 606: [(606)] Bet she can or cannot make it Chapter 606: [(606)] Bet she can or cannot make it Little Aunt Zhang anxiously asked, “Didn’t you say earlier that the doctor mentioned during rounds that your mom might undergo traditional open surgery? Saying that laparoscopic surgery is difficult to perform, and it won’t be thorough.”

What to do? She had assumed that the patient in bed 11 was in the same situation as her mother. Now, hearing a completely different result confirmed the bad premonition in her heart. Little Aunt Zhang became very anxious.

“Yes, the doctor did say that to us this morning during rounds. Later–” the family member of the patient in bed 11 whispered to Little Aunt Zhang, “I asked Doctor Li to help me seek assistance from Dr. Xie. We heard that Dr. Xie once performed a laparoscopic surgery that was supposedly impossible. Isn’t everyone in your mom’s ward saying how remarkable Dr. Xie is? Everyone there was saved by Dr. Xie.”

Little Aunt Zhang had inquired about all this information; otherwise, she would not have taken the initiative to ask Tan Kelin for Xie Wanying’s help. But now, things had changed.

“Didn’t you seek out Dr. Xie?” the family member of the patient in bed 11 asked.

“They wouldn’t dare to find Dr. Xie.” The son of the old lady in bed 8, carrying a thermos, came back and overheard their conversation. He joined in to criticize the people from bed 9, “When Dr. Xie kindly warned her elder sister-in-law not to feed the patient soybeans, she was scolded by her. With their attitude, would any doctor dare to take a risk for them, to let Dr. Xie come in and help them? If I were the doctor, I’d do the same, stay far away from your family.”

After hearing the reason, the family member from bed 11 drew in a sharp breath, wondering if the Zhang family were fools. Were they really distrustful of the doctors here while still hoping to get treatment?

“It was my elder sister-in-law who did it, not me!” Little Aunt Zhang was on the verge of crying from being wrongly accused, “I said I would take care of our mom, but my elder brother insisted that it wasn’t necessary. Because I have a much busier job than my sister-in-law, who is almost jobless and stays at home.”

“The doctor mentioned before the surgery,” said the family member from bed 11, changing his tune to advise Little Aunt Zhang, “that laparoscopic surgery also carries risks and requires the patients to assume responsibility for them. It’s better for your mom to have the traditional open surgery–it’s safer, and there’s no need to take any risks.”

Did they come all the way to Guoxie to undergo traditional open surgery? Clearly, the family from bed 11 was being smug about getting a bargain, right? Little Aunt Zhang patted her chest and swore an oath, “We know, and we can also take responsibility for the risks.”

“The problem is that someone in your family doesn’t trust the doctor.”

Little Aunt Zhang looked towards her elder brother, who was standing in the ward, “Brother, you speak up. Given the circumstances, mom is having surgery the day after tomorrow.”

Elder Brother Zhang’s face turned from pale to flushed as he crossed his arms in anger.

Soon after, Zhang Wei’s mother returned from shopping and asked her husband, “When did the doctor say mom’s surgery is scheduled for?”

“Come here!” Elder Brother Zhang called his wife outside.

Zhang Wei’s mother hesitantly followed her husband outside.

“You go and apologize to Dr. Xie right now, and to Dr. Tan as well,” Elder Brother Zhang pointed to his wife’s nose as he lectured her, “You talked nonsense this morning about her and Dr. Tan, and now the doctors think you don’t trust Dr. Xie. They’re scared to perform laparoscopic surgery on our mom.”

“What does my mom having laparoscopic surgery have to do with Xie Wanying?” Zhang Wei’s mother refused to accept it and began to argue with her husband, “Have you and the others gone mad? She’s just an intern.”

“Now bed 11 was able to have laparoscopic surgery because they sought Dr. Xie’s help, and their condition is more serious than our mother’s,” Elder Brother Zhang pointed out the fact that Xie Wanying was crucial, the key doctor for whether a patient could undergo this surgery.

Zhang Wei’s mother couldn’t accept it and started arguing with her husband, “Let’s wait and see if the patient from bed 11 can survive the surgery first.”

“Fine, if it turns out you’re wrong, Zhang Wei doesn’t need to study abroad anymore–she can come back to the country immediately!”
