Chapter 818: [818] Might be facing a penalty Chapter 818: [818] Might be facing a penalty “In the field of neurosurgery, only Dr. Cao could have managed it,” someone said.

“Dr. Cao has never had this problem since he started practicing medicine.”

The other doctors’ discussions could only confirm once more that Cao Yong wasn’t an ordinary person.

“So this young lady fainted due to a neurogenic syncopal episode?”

“Just as Dr. Tan said, she’s currently only an intern, and we should try to prevent this kind of incident from happening again.”

“It’s hard to say if it’s always neurogenic syncope when someone has repeated episodes. If it happens again, we need to consider the risk of brain hemorrhage or sudden cardiac arrest.”

“She’s already had one such fainting spell. It’s best to forbid her from participating in these kinds of surgeries in the future.”

“Actually, most doctors can’t perform these surgeries. Doctor Yin is still shaking in the recovery room right now.”

Their voices were so distant that she could barely hear them anymore. When Xie Wanying fell, images from before her rejuvenation had suddenly and forcefully inserted themselves into her mind.

The snap of the ambulance doors closing. She sat inside, with her grandfather lying on the gurney in front of her; the heart monitor flashed red alerts all along the way. Cardiac compressions, several defibrillations–the heart rate alternated between flatlines and curves.

There was still a chance to save him, as long as she could do it.

Just as the doctor was about to declare death, she turned her head and saw a blurry figure. Who was that?

Sweat poured out of her like a tidal wave.

Xie Wanying opened her eyes.

“Little junior sister,” Huang Zhilei stood by the bed, seeing that she was finally fully awake, he said, “Shall I get you something to eat? You must be hungry.”

Xie Wanying nodded her acknowledgment and, with the assistance of Senior Brother Huang, sat up from the bed.

She was probably experiencing low blood sugar, feeling a bit weak.

Huang Zhilei brought the beef noodles that had been delivered over to her and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

“How is Li Xuan doing, senior brother?” Xie Wanying took the chopsticks, not forgetting to first inquire about her friend’s condition.

“She’s regained consciousness and has been moved to the ICU,” Huang Zhilei informed her, “Dr. Yin is with her.”

Even after full anesthesia and low blood pressure, one couldn’t expect a safe awakening; she needed to continue sleeping.

They had taken her to the ICU, and she wanted to visit, but she might need Senior Brother Huang’s help in arranging that.

Senior Cao, Senior Tao, and Teacher Tan were all absent.

“Senior Cao has gone to the administration building for a meeting; he said he’ll come check on you after it’s finished,” Huang Zhilei said.

“A meeting?”

“Yes, a major incident occurred today.”

Xie Wanying looked around and saw that Doctor Song was also missing, and a sense of unease rose in her.

The hospital leadership summoning a meeting likely meant criticism for their hepatobiliary surgery department. The situation seemed unfair to everyone involved, much like her publication of the novella. If one were to look for the root cause, it might be traced back to the patient’s family.

Administration Building

An emergency meeting, personally chaired by President Wu, was in progress in the multimedia conference room. Personnel from various departments were seated around the office table.

As the most closely involved department, hepatobiliary surgery had the most people present. Director Tang led the team, with Tao Zhijie and all the doctors from his group in attendance, except for Xie Wanying.

Cardiology was the department where the incident occurred, and its director was also present. Jin Tianyu had handed his patient over to a reliable colleague before daring to come up to the meeting. If his patient died while the matter was still being discussed, the consequences would be even more severe, so he had to personally monitor the situation.

President Wu asked him, “I heard the young patient in your department was quite frightened?”

“Yes. Her heart rhythm was irregular at the time, but Dr. Xie managed to normalize it with a couple of thumps. After observing for a while, she seems stable for now, but we cannot be complacent. I’ll consult with the thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons later,” explained Jin Tianyu.
