Chapter 245
The vice president’s implication was clear: no one in the city or even the province could treat this illness. Even going to Kyoto would just be gambling on a miracle.
To put it bluntly: he was beyond saving.
Upon hearing such devastating news, Lin Xiaoyue, who was already injured and unsteady on her feet, suddenly staggered.
If Chenyang hadn’t caught her with his quick reflexes, she would have collapsed to the floor.
When she steadied herself with Chenyang’s help and looked up again, her face was deathly pale.
Her voice trembled. "Is there... is there really no chance at all?"
"We’re sorry," the vice president and the two directors said, but their meaning was unmistakable.
"My uncle is only fifty years old. He hasn’t seen me get married and have kids, he hasn’t seen me accept an award on stage!"
Seeing tears stream down Lin Xiaoyue’s face, the vice president sighed. He signaled for Liu Yun to comfort her, then motioned for the other two directors to leave with him.
The man was beyond saving, and they’d told the family everything they needed to. There was no point in staying any longer.
Liu Yun’s lips parted as she supported Lin Xiaoyue. "The situation isn’t good, but we’re still a ways off from the worst-case scenario. Since you’re so close to Mr. Lin, you need to be strong for him.
Otherwise, when he wakes up and sees you not only injured but also this upset, he won’t be happy either."
Lin Xiaoyue wiped the tears from her eyes and tried to compose herself. "Is there really no hope at all?" she asked.
"No, there’s hope, and..."
"Xiaochen!"
Before Chenyang could finish, Liu Yun cut him off. "Go take care of your other work."
Chenyang frowned. "Sister Liu, I really do have a way to help."
"Go on for now. I’ll find you later to talk."
"Alright."
Seeing the angry look on Liu Yun’s face, Chenyang had no choice but to relent and go treat the other patients.
A short while later, Liu Yun found him.
"Mr. Lin’s case has nothing to do with you from now on. Don’t ask about it, and don’t try to find out about his condition. Just quietly do your work."
"Sister Liu, he can still be saved."
"Are you one hundred percent certain?"
"I..."
Chenyang had seen a similar case in his grandfather’s medical books. He had even memorized the treatment method recorded within.
However, the condition was extremely rare. He had never practiced the treatment, and this was the first time he had even seen a case in real life.
"This is a critical heart condition. The slightest mistake could kill him instantly! Without one hundred percent certainty, it’s not just me—the hospital and even the family would never let you attempt something so risky."
At this, Liu Yun’s expression became extremely serious. She enunciated each word clearly, "Xiaochen, I’m giving you my sincere advice. In your future work, you absolutely must change this bad habit of making guarantees you can’t back up.
When we practice medicine, we have to consider the patient and their family, but we also have to think about ourselves, the hospital that gives us our jobs, and your own future!"
Chenyang didn’t agree with Liu Yun’s perspective.
’As doctors, if a disease is treatable, we have a duty to treat it boldly, so long as we adhere to sound medical principles.’
’We can’t be cowards just because there are risks, and we certainly can’t tuck our tails between our legs over these so-called ’considerations’.’
’The cure for any disease is ultimately found through trial and error.’
’If we give up because of risks and ’considerations,’ then how can medicine ever advance?’
With that thought, Chenyang looked at Liu Yun.
But just as he was about to explain and argue his point, a nurse hurried over. "Director Liu, it’s time for your surgery."
"Alright. I’m on my way."
Liu Yun replied, then looked back at Chenyang. "Remember what I said."
Chenyang let out a breath. "Fine. I won’t go see Mr. Lin for now."
"Good. Go help the other patients. When I’m out of surgery, I have some good news for you."
"What good news?"
Chenyang was curious; he couldn’t imagine what good news Liu Yun could possibly have for him.
Liu Yun gave a mysterious smile. "I’m not telling you yet. But let’s just say... you’ll definitely be happy to hear it."
"Alright, well in that case..."
"Director Liu, this is bad! Something big has happened!"
Just then, another nurse came rushing over.
Liu Yun said irritably, "Slow down. Don’t be so flustered."
"Doc... Doctor Chen is trending online."
Seeing the nurse pointing at Chenyang, Liu Yun frowned. "What is he trending for?"
