Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
“This old man’s condition, no similar cases have been documented in medical literature, both domestic and international! You could say that since the inception of medicine, he’s the only one!” Susana said each word firmly, “Do you know how difficult the surgery is? We’ve consulted with many renowned heart surgeons both at home and abroad, but no one could propose a better treatment!”
Mirabella raised her brows and said, “That’s because you’re incompetent.”
“So, you think you can save him? Confident little girl?” Susana sneered, “Then you give it a try!”
Mirabella glanced at the old man on the bed, exuding unbridled confidence, and casually said, “You can’t afford me to perform the surgery.”
“Huh.” Susana found it ridiculously funny, “This old man is no ordinary person. No amount of money is an issue for him. If you can save his life, money is not a problem, even I am willing to kneel down and call you God!”
Mirabella raised her eyebrows, “Alright, you said it.”
“Hey, you’re really confident, aren’t you!” Susana didn’t take her seriously. “Did you graduate from high school? Do you know where the heart is? Surgery is not about making a few random cuts with a knife. Do you think this is like cutting a steak in a restaurant, and you can just do whatever you want? I don’t care where you’re from, apologize and leave, then I’ll pretend this never happened!”
Mirabella glanced at the work badge on Susana’s chest and dismissively said, “You’re an associate chief physician in cardiology and you don’t even know how to perform artificial valve replacement surgery, and you want me to apologize?”
“You-”
“Calling you a quack doctor is an understatement.”
“Did you guys hear what this brat just said?” Susana was gritting her teeth in anger.
The female chief physician murmured to herself, “She actually knows about artificial valve replacement surgery…”
Such a professional term, coming out of a little girl’s mouth, could she really know medicine?
The male doctor also realized this. He looked at Mirabella with surprise and shock, and he whispered to Susana, “Why not, let her try, maybe she really has a way?”
“You’ve lost your mind! You actually believe what a little girl says!”
Before Susana could finish, she heard another doctor whisper, “If anything goes wrong, we can blame her…”
“She’s not a doctor at our hospital!” Susana turned around and lowered her voice, “Do you know who this old man is? If anything happens, all of us here will be responsible! Do you think you can just find a little girl to be the scapegoat?”
She glanced back at Mirabella, her eyes full of disdain, “If she really knew her stuff, she’d be famous by now, and she’d be the one running this place! Would we even be needed here?”
The male doctor shrugged helplessly, “But right now, we don’t have any better options…”
“Or maybe…” the female director carefully suggested, “We could ask Dr. Caden for his opinion?”
Dr. Caden was widely recognized as a brilliant doctor in the hospital, but….
“Dr. Caden is really full of himself. If it’s not his patient, he won’t lift a finger to help us.”
Susana knew this all too well, which was why she never bothered him with any issues. He had a bad temper and was likely to kick people out, not caring about embarrassing others at all.
“So what should we do now?”
Not sure if their voices were too loud, but outside the ward, there were some people huddled together, whispering about something.
Dr. Greg was afraid things would get complicated, so he gently advised, “Miss, this operation is seriously complicated. Even an expert professor with decades of experience like me can’t guarantee success. Considering Phillip’s current condition, aside from the late medical genius Dr. Bell, there’s no one else in the world who can guarantee he’ll make it out of the operating room alive. It’s not that we don’t want to operate. It’s just that our skills are limited, and we can’t provide help.
“Administering sedatives and comforting the patient is all we can do at the moment until the family arrives to sign off, and we can focus on treating him.”
They were always scared of Mr. McMillian’s influence, and they didn’t dare do everything they could for Phillip…
“Did you mention there would be a reward after a successful surgery?” Mirabella suddenly asked.
“Uh…” Dr. Greg was a little surprised, but quickly answered, “Of course.”
It didn’t matter what kind of person Phillip was, as long as he could be saved, the cost was not an issue.
Mirabella had made a lot of money for the Melton family before, but all that money ended up in their pockets. Plus, with Grace’s medical expenses, she had nearly exhausted all her savings. If she could make some money from a minor surgery, that would be great.
Dr. Greg saw confidence in Mirabella’s beautiful eyes, and her aura was strong. He couldn’t help but ask, “Miss, do you really know medicine?”
Mirabella smiled and said, “Handling a scalpel is not a problem.”
“And how do you plan to save him?”
“Of course, by performing a heart valve replacement procedure, but I need Caden as my assistant.”
“Heh…” Susana was shocked to hear that, “Who do you think you are? Do you know who Caden is? I can call him over, but would he be your assistant? If so, I’d chop off my head and let you use it as a football.”
After saying this, she turned to Dr. Greg and said, “Dr. Greg, stop wasting time on her. We’re in a hurry. Let’s administer the sedatives and comfort the patient now!”
She ordered a nurse, “Go get the medicine, and tell the security room there’s a madwoman here.”
The nurse bumped into Caden on her way out and quickly explained the situation.
Soon, a familiar voice echoed in the ward.
“Who’s looking for me?”
Everyone looked up and saw Caden, their faces showing surprise.
How did the nurse manage to bring Caden in? How could a minor nurse have persuaded such an important person to come?
“Dr. Caden, you’re just in time.” Susana seized the opportunity to embarrass Mirabella, “This girl has a lot of guts. She wants you to be her assistant.”
Caden glanced at Mirabella, who stood there as if none of the attacks around her could hurt her.
He frowned at Susana, clearly unhappy with her behavior, then asked the others, “What’s going on?”
Susana quickly explained the situation, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ear to reveal her pretty profile, hoping to make a good impression on Caden. “I’ve never seen a case like this, neither here nor abroad.”
“What are we waiting for then?” Caden, for Mirabella’s sake, took on this tough task and said emotionlessly, “Get ready for the operation.”
“Dr. Caden, how can you be as reckless as her?” Susana was taken aback by his decision, “Operating now, means the success rate is less than 10%… This old man is very influential, if something goes wrong, we won’t be able to handle the responsibility!”
Caden’s eyes were emotionless, “If something goes wrong, you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Dr. Caden…”
“I will take responsibility.”
All the doctors were stunned. Was he planning to take this risk with Mirabella, the young girl?
Without saying much to them, Caden glanced at Mirabella. “Come with me,”
He was taking her to the operating room.
As Mirabella passed Susana, she smiled and said, “Didn’t you say you would chop off your head and let me use it as a football?”
