Chapter 230: Sweetness That Touches The Heart
Jiang An received a call from the hospital at two o’clock in the middle of the night, hearing that one of her patients had an emergency, she got dressed and rushed over without delay.
The taxi was speeding through the night, the woman gazed out of the window with anxious eyes, wishing she could fly to the hospital in a second.
About twenty minutes later, Jiang An finally arrived at the department. Just as she walked into the office, eager to change into her white coat, the duty doctor who had been involved in the resuscitation had already come in, walked tiredly over to her, and told her there was no need to go now.
Jiang An, having changed her clothes, turned her head in shock to look at her colleague who was already exhausted and had slumped into a chair, her voice somewhat choked up as she spoke: "The family has been notified."
Jiang An felt a block in her heart, immediately stopping the action of her hands and leaned weakly against the office table behind her.
Both were silent for a moment, and the office fell into a spell of silence.
Jiang An recalled some details about the patient who had passed away; malignant breast cancer, discovered in its late stages, surgery was no longer an option at that point so chemotherapy was chosen, she had thought the situation was under control for the time being, but had not expected the bad news to come so swiftly.
In communicating with the patient, she also briefly learned about the patient’s family situation. The patient was a single mother in her forties, with a son in middle school this year, and two elderly people to look after at home; undoubtedly adding to the burden of this family already struggling to make ends meet.
The colleague sitting beside her also bore a face of dejection; although such midnight emergencies were not new, it still left a bad taste in the heart.
"Dr. Jiang, we did our best."
