Chapter 50 Misfortunes Never Come Singly_1
"Yes."
The attending physician’s assistant opened the door of the emergency room and asked the crowd outside, "Who among you is the patient’s relative?"
Jiang Hua quickly stepped forward and responded, "Doctor, I am the patient’s family member. How is my grandfather doing now? Is he any better?"
The attending physician’s assistant glanced at Jiang Hua and replied gravely, "The patient’s condition is not very optimistic. He has a brain hemorrhage caused by a brain tumor, and there’s a significant amount of bleeding. The patient is in critical condition and must undergo a craniotomy immediately. Young man, you are still underage, aren’t you? Where are your father and mother? Haven’t they arrived yet?"
Jiang Hua said anxiously, "I’ve already called my parents; they are on their way here. Can I not sign for the surgery?"
The attending physician’s assistant looked at the school uniform on Jiang Hua and shook his head, saying, "You are a minor and do not have legal capacity. Your signature would have no legal effect. If you are over 16 years old and can provide for yourself with your own earnings, you could be treated as having full legal capacity. But you are currently a student without your own means of support, so that’s obviously not possible."
Jiang Hua, frantic, pulled at his hair and asked in a fluster, "What should I do? What can be done?"
The attending physician’s assistant reminded him sternly, "You’d better hurry and urge your father and mother over the phone! The patient’s situation is very critical. The quicker the surgery is performed, the better. Time waits for no one!"
Jiang Hua nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know, I’ll call my parents right away again to urge them."
"Hurry up!"
