Chapter 515 - Chapter 515 I will do what I promised her

Chapter 515: I will do what I promised her. Chapter 515: I will do what I promised her. “Mr. Guo, is it? He woke up this morning, and according to our estimates, the most critical period has passed. Next, we’ll see whether the hepatic protection treatment can save his liver, and consider a liver transplant if necessary.”

By saying that, it was certain the patient’s life had been saved.

“Please convey our department’s gratitude to Dr. Tao for his assistance last night,” Shen Jinghui said seriously.

“Director Shen, you’re making too much of it. Dr. Tao would definitely say it was our duty. Who knows, we might need help from General Surgery Department Two in the future,” Dr. Qiu replied eagerly.

Unable to meet Tao Zhijie, Shen Jinghui and the head nurse visited the patient, didn’t encounter any family members, saw that the patient was indeed much better, and then returned to their department with relieved hearts.

Once everyone had left, Dr. Qiu went back to the office and told the people inside, “He really came.”

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Tao Zhijie hadn’t left the department and was having breakfast with He Guangyou in the office.

“Of course he had to come, it’s his patient,” He Guangyou said while slurping his breakfast noodles, covertly studying Tao Zhijie’s expression.

Tao Zhijie quickly continued his sentence, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips, “He really doesn’t need to thank me, if he were knowledgeable, he should thank someone else.”

Thank someone else? He Guangyou and Dr. Qiu immediately thought of Xie Wanying.

Last night, if it weren’t for her insistence on putting the patient on the artificial liver before anything else, disregarding the normal process of waiting for other test results, it would have definitely been too late.

“I don’t think he understands, because with you there last night, he certainly thinks it’s your credit, your idea,” He Guangyou analyzed. Looking at how Shen Jinghui specifically came to thank Tao Zhijie today, he had guessed that it would end up this way.

Anyone would think the same; no one would imagine it was the idea of an intern.

“She really dared to gamble,” He Guangyou suddenly blurted out, revealing his inner thoughts about Xie Wanying.

Upon hearing this, Tao Zhijie’s gaze momentarily frozen, including the composed smile at the corner of his lips.

In clinical practice, doctors who dared to gamble like this and win were almost none, unless they were incredibly lucky.

How could she have won the bet?

Although Xie Wanying had laid out a bunch of reasons last night, the fact remained that it wasn’t entirely possible to rule out active bleeding in the patient. She insisted on betting it was a drug-induced gastrointestinal response rather than bleeding.

This eliminated the possibility of autoimmune hemolysis for the time being, which was very important. It dictated whether doctors would dare to put the patient on the machine. Because, if the treatment method was inappropriate, for example, if there was a tendency for autoimmune hemolysis and you still put the patient on a machine, you might accelerate the patient’s death instead of saving them.

Therefore, even if Director Shen himself were involved, he could only request a transfer of the patient to his department, but suggesting such aggressive treatment would likely be beyond his courage.

Why was she so confident she would win?

In Tao Zhijie’s eyes, he seemed to see Xie Wanying’s face as she spoke to him the previous night. Her clean face and big eyes shone like fireflies in the dark, flickering with faint but hopeful light amidst despair.

Perhaps it was that moment he chose to let her take the gamble because he had promised her he would be agreeable.

In his medical career, like others, he had never taken such a gamble. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have chosen to bet. It could only be said that last night, he accepted her suggestion as a last-ditch effort. Given the history of active bleeding and acute liver failure leading to coma, the chances of death were too great.
