Chapter 132: Consequences

Huang Yue was dumbstruck . . .

"Who's the on-call doctor tonight?" Huo Mian walked out with a surgical mask on after she changed .

"It was supposed to be Wu Xiaoxue . "

"Why did she leave halfway through her shift? Shouldn't she be working through the night?" Huo Mian frowned slightly .

"She's the hospital director's niece, could we really have stopped her? It looked like she had some business to tend to elsewhere, so she left," Huang Yue replied .

Huo Mian picked up the office phone and called Wu Xiaoxue after searching on the phone directory .

The phone rang for five seconds before someone finally picked up .

"Hello… . ?" It sounded like Wu Xiaoxue was asleep .

"Dr . Wu, we need you back here for a surgery . A patient's life is in danger, she's bleeding…" Before Huo Mian had the chance to finish, the person on the other end interrupted her .

"Are you crazy? Do you know what time it is?"

Before Huo Mian could respond, the phone went dead . . .

Huo Mian was unwilling to give up, so she called again . However, Wu Xiaoxue turned her phone off .

Initially, she thought that since Wu Xiaoxue lived close by, if she took a taxi she could still make it to the hospital on time to operate .

It wasn't because Huo Mian wasn't confident enough to proceed with the operation, it was just that despite her excellent medical skills, she was still a nurse .

She didn't have the required medical certifications . If she were to operate, not only was it extremely risky, it could also bring forth many troubles in the future .



Huo Mian put down the phone and glanced at Huang Yue, "Yue, if I were to operate, can you be my scrub nurse? Are you okay with that?"

"Mian, are you kidding? You're a nurse, not a doctor . Are you really going to operate?"

Huang Yue asked in disbelief . . .

"There's no time to think about all that now, this patient is losing too much blood . She won't be able to hold on for much longer . If we do nothing, two lives will be lost . "

"I know, Mian . I want to save them too, but we're not doctors and the on-call doctor isn't here . We have no other options . I feel really bad too, and I can only be an assistant . I don't know anything about surgery . "


"It's okay if you don't understand . I know how to do it . I need you to calm down and be my assistant . "

"But… even so, the two of us won't be able to perform the surgery . The anesthesiologist isn't here . " Huang Yue was on the verge of crying .

It's almost midnight, and there's no anesthesiologist . The best option is to transfer the patient to another hospital, Huang Yue thought .



"I can administer anesthesia . "

"Um . . . " Huang Yue no longer had any idea what to say .

"We can't wait any longer, hurry up and start preparing the operating room . " Huo Mian slid on her gloves and walked out .

"Mian, is this a joke? These are people's lives we're talking about . "

Regardless of what Huang Yue said, Huo Mian had already made up her mind . She was going to perform the surgery with or without her .

Huo Mian looked at the man that was still sobbing uncontrollably .

"Take her to the OR . "

"She can have the surgery? That's great!" The man got up excitedly . He held onto the pregnant woman and followed Huo Mian towards the OR .



Huo Mian had been working in the OB/GYN department for over six months now . C-Sections were performed almost every other day, so she was very familiar with the procedure . Despite having never actually performed such a surgery, she was confident that she wouldn't fail .

The only issue was that she was not a licensed doctor, and it would be rather troublesome if the family members decided to come looking for her after the surgery .

But of course, under normal circumstances, no one would pursue the matter if the operation was successful and the patient did not suffer from any side effects .

After all, she was only doing it because it was an emergency .
 
Huang Yue still felt unsettled before the surgery, "Bis Sis Mian, we can't do it . It's too risky . If the operation fails, you will be charged with medical negligence . Not only will you go to jail, but you will also need to pay a lot of money . Even if you succeeded, you will still be in big trouble if the family decides to pursue the fact that you're not a licensed doctor . The losses outweigh the gains . We're not Jesus, we don't need to sacrifice ourselves to save others . "

"Yue, I understand what you're saying, and I've contemplated the issues you mentioned . But I can't watch two lives perish in front of my eyes, especially when I can save them . Do you understand? My teenage dream was to become a doctor . It is very meaningful to be able to study the human body and provide individuals a second chance at life after studying and understanding the state of their illness . "

Before Huang Yue could say anything else, Huo Mian took a long and thin needle and injected a carefully-calculated amount of anesthesia into the patient's spine .

Huang Yue trembled in fear as she watched, for she knew that an untrained anesthesiologist may very likely leave the patient paralyzed for the rest of their life .
