Chapter 1101: Chapter 1101: Conditions of Temptation
“Bai Song, how are you feeling now?”
The Dean was very amiable; regardless of anything else, Bai Song was a hero who bravely rescued others in the minefield.
This fact alone was enough to make them view him differently.
Bai Song was much better now; the recent fever had made him uncomfortable. Now, having received fluids, he’s improved a lot, though his leg still hurts badly. But his sister was here and had given him so simple treatnt, which reduced the pain significantly. Yet, he quickly shook off his sister’s hand, as he would not let her be exposed publicly.
“A bit better, Dean. What’s really wrong with my leg?”
His sister said it was caused by broken screws, and Bai Song believed her, but he felt uneasy if he didn’t ask.
At the mont, his leg seed not to be his. The doctors ntioned that there might be sequelae afterward, and he had imagined various kinds of sequelae—even becoming la or having a limp. But if this was a sequela, it would honestly be better to die than to live with such distress.
Even as a soldier, he couldn’t endure such painful tornt—it was more excruciating than being cut by a blunt knife.
The Dean looked at Bai Song apologetically, “Our preliminary diagnosis shows that the fixing screws in your leg have broken, which caused a purulent reaction. It seems to have led to sepsis. We are here to talk to you about this: your leg needs another surgery to remove the screws, refix them, and clean the purulent area.”
They evaded discussing accountability, which was a customary practice at the hospital. Even though the Dean was an upright person, he needed to consider the hospital’s reputation now.
Bai Song nodded, and Bai Xiao stood up, “Dean, hello! I am Bai Song’s sister. Regarding his injury, I would like to personally perform the surgery. I am a doctor at the hospital. You can call to verify; I am currently interning in neurosurgery at Ruiyin Hospital. Please grant this unorthodox request.”
She wasn’t at ease leaving Bai Song in anyone else’s hands.
Only she could truly ensure Bai Song’s recovery; entrusting him to anyone else caused anxiety.
“Dr. Bai, I’m glad that you’re one of our peers, but you understand that your brother is now in our hospital, and we cannot do this. We have our responsibilities.”
Definitely cannot allow Bai Xiao to perform the surgery; it implies their own hospital doctor made a mistake during surgery, or their skills were inadequate, thereby compelling a family mber to step in. Regardless of the reason, they would not permit it.
Bai Xiao felt a bit chilled.
She was ntally prepared for the Dean’s refusal, but that didn’t an she would concede.
“Dean, here’s the situation: I am determined to perform this surgery. To your agreent, I’ve obtained neurosurgery certification and am an actual operating doctor in neurosurgery. I was present for the first brain tumor surgery at Ruiyin Hospital and wrote the entire report for the neurosurgery. Of the subsequent dozen neurosurgeries, Ruiyin hasn’t failed a single case.
If you agree for to be brought in as an expert surgeon on my brother’s case, as a return favor, I can lead your surgical team to perform neurosurgery. Outside of Ruiyin Hospital, I assu yours doesn’t yet possess the capability to independently perform neurosurgery?
This is undoubtedly a rare chance that could elevate your hospital’s surgical standards.”
Bai Xiao certainly understood what truly moved people.
The hospital naturally had its needs; the constraints and bottlenecks in dical skills weren’t easily broken. Coupled with her extensive neurosurgical experience and her extraordinary special ability, she was arguably the best teacher! She could fill any gaps and ensure no patient danger.
“This…”
The Dean was intrigued.
Indeed, they lacked neurosurgical experience; it’s not that the hospital couldn’t perform them, but they simply hadn’t, as experience doesn’t co by easily. If soone already had rich successful experiences, it could save them many detours.
This was simply a win-win situation.
“Dr. Bai, let us consider this, though we need to prepare for your brother’s surgery. We hope Bai Song agrees to the reoperation.”
The contemplation was rely a formality—the Dean had internally already agreed. Such an auspicious event seed like sothing falling from the sky, but they needed to go through the process without revealing their excitent; their status was at stake.
Besides, there were many factors to consider, like verifying Bai Xiao’s credentials—one couldn’t agree to everyone blindly.
If not for Bai Xiao ntioning Ruiyin Hospital, the Dean wouldn’t bother.
Bai Xiao nodded, words spoken just enough, trusting the Dean to make his own decision—no one could refuse her request; it was too tempting.
Even Ruiyin couldn’t resist such terms, let alone this remote hospital.
The Dean was ready to call a friend at Ruiyin Hospital for so consultation.
Bai Xiao stopped the Dean, “Dean, can we talk privately?” So unresolved issues remained.
“Sure, let’s discuss it in my office.” Although uncertain about what else Bai Xiao wanted to say, this girl did ntion neurosurgery expertise.
Regardless of authenticity, he wouldn’t casually offend anyone.
“Big brother! I’ll be right back.” Bai Xiao followed the Dean to the office, closed the door, and the Dean smiled, “Dr. Bai, what would you like to discuss?”
This girl’s mysteriousness was indeed intriguing.
“Dean, my brother’s surgery needs new screws, but I’d hoped you’d thoroughly investigate these screws. There seems to be an issue with the material of my brother’s fixed screws; I don’t want him to endure such suffering again after another surgery.
This isn’t about the surgery proficiency but directly concerns the screws.”
It was the primary crux of the issue.
Bai Xiao discussed it privately to avoid unnecessary panic, especially among patients.
The Dean was montarily stunned, then shook his head decisively and said, “Impossible, this batch of screws was newly imported and has been used for surgeries in fifteen cases without a single abnormal response reported.
Dr. Bai, I understand your emotions, but I cannot accept your stance. Such claims require accountability, and I absolutely cannot allow you to slander our hospital’s dical ethics.”
It’s no wonder the Dean was enraged; if such issues existed, it could imply staff bribery, dragging the hospital into hot water!
“Dean, I’m speaking with full responsibility. I demand new screws for my brother. At least for this surgery, we will not use screws of this specification.”
If others won’t heed her, that doesn’t an she’d compromise.
This matter concerned Bai Song’s future and affected many patients’ imdiate interests and pain. As a doctor, if she knew of this matter and left it unresolved, it wasn’t her style—especially many patients here were comrades. They had shed enough blood on the battlefield; she couldn’t let them suffer again in life.
