Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World
Chapter 316 - Chapter 316 Chapter 317 To Operate or Not

Chapter 316: Chapter 317: To Operate or Not Chapter 316: Chapter 317: To Operate or Not “Impossible. I cannot guarantee such a thing. Surgery is inherently risky, let alone clearing a blockage in the heart. A slight misstep could be fatal.” Shao He also wished that every surgery could be successful, but she could not predict what accidents might occur during an operation.

“It seems to me that you are trying to shirk your responsibility. If you cure the Emperor, you will be rewarded, and if not, you push away all the blame. Doctor Shao really knows how to protect her own interests,” Pei Chengye said, unable to suppress his sarcasm.

Shao He did not even bother to look at him as she spoke again to explain, “If the Emperor does not undergo the surgery, the consequences could be extremely grave. He could lose his life at any moment. I urge you to consider this carefully.”

“Are there really no other methods or foolproof strategies?” Pei Haolan frowned.

“Yes, Doctor Shao, please think of something. You are so skilled; surely there must be another way, right?” When everyone else spoke up, Pei Jingyi also chimed in.

Little did he know that this comment would displease Pei Chengye, “How would I not know the extent of his medical skills? He’s just a blind cat that found a dead mouse and saved a few people. It’s nothing like the miraculous abilities people claim, just excessive praise.”

Hearing the argument among them, the Emperor roared from his bed, “Get out, all of you get out!”

After speaking those words, he began to cough violently, causing him some disconcerting pain. “Your Majesty, please mind your emotions, try to control them, and take care of your health.”

“Father, please quell your anger and take good care of your dragon body,” several Princes said in unison as they knelt.

“Given the current dangerous state of Father, I propose we go ahead with the surgery,” Pei Huaian was the first to stand up and say.

The Empress firmly disagreed, “Do you realize the surgery only has a sixty percent chance of success? What if it fails? Are you gambling with your father’s life?”

“Or do you have other motives? How can you so recklessly decide to proceed with the surgery?”

Pei Huaian looked at the person smirking with ill intent and explained again, “Father’s condition cannot continue to deteriorate. If we don’t perform the surgery, how could there be a chance for him to fully recover?”

“After all, your father is still alive. If the surgery fails, he might not be. How can you be so heartless? I must have misjudged you all these days!” The Empress showed a disappointed look and shook her head helplessly.

Seeing her feigned concern, Pei Huaian asked, “Then, may I know if Mother has any better methods to treat Father? We cannot keep dragging this out. If we continue to delay, there might eventually be no hope of recovery.”

Suddenly, the voices of the Empress and Pei Huaian arguing became louder and hotter, and eventually, Pei Chengye also joined in.

“Enough, go and summon Judge Zhang here,”

Only then did everyone remember, why not have the best Imperial Physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau check the Emperor’s condition? While this did cast doubt on Shao He’s medical skills, the critical illness of the Emperor forced them to be extra cautious.

Shao He showed no displeasure or dissatisfaction; instead, she accepted the situation gracefully. For her, no matter who performed the examination, the result would be the same.

Soon, Judge Zhang hurried over with his medical kit, kneeling down to greet the Emperor, who simply waved his hand, “Rise.”

After taking the Emperor’s pulse and asking about his diet and routine, Judge Zhang quickly spoke, “Your Majesty indeed has a heart problem, but it can be treated with medicine combined with acupuncture.”

Although uncertain if such methods would work, Judge Zhang had no other options for the Emperor’s ailments and could only try these fringe remedies.

“Tell me if this kind of treatment can make me better, or even allow me to live a few more years.”

The Emperor was very aware of his health condition, prompting him to ask so directly.

Judge Zhang immediately started flattering, “Your Majesty’s body is robust, and with the protection of the dragon spirit, the heavens will surely bless you. There will be no issues.”

“Ha…” Pei Chengye scoffed as he looked at Shao He, “Miss Shao, didn’t you say the Emperor has a heart condition? Could it be that even Judge Zhang diagnosed it wrong? I think you simply don’t qualify to be a Doctor.”

With a stern face, Shao He stared at Pei Chengye and after a long pause said, “I am a Doctor, and the Emperor’s condition is quite severe, necessitating a heart bypass surgery. If the operation is successful, it might save his life. Please, Your Majesty, consider it carefully!”

Shao He really didn’t understand what these so-called Imperial Physicians were good for if they could not diagnose such a simple issue and boast about curing with acupuncture, which is completely absurd.

Pei Chengye’s face turned gloomy, his gaze ice-cold as he looked at Shao He kneeling on the ground, “Your Majesty, I believe she is simply talking nonsense. Your illness should be treated by Judge Zhang.”
