Chapter 88 Coerced by the Dean
Edmond found Alicia and took some time to rescue Melissa from the bashroom.
Melissa fell into a coma.
He calmly carried her to the outpatient room for examination.
The neurosurgery department was on the seventh floor, and most of the medical staff of the department were called by the dean to operate upon Lori, so none of the doctors were present.
Edmond had no choice but to personally mobilize the intern nurses to help him give Melissa first aid and examinations.
Alicia stood nervously outside the curtain, afraid to say a word to disturb them.
She tightly squeezed her palms. She was always calm and composed, but now she looked like a helpless child.
Ten minutes later, Edmond pulled back the curtain and said with a heavy face, "She should have had a sudden seizure in the restroom just now, and then fell into a coma. This situation is mostly caused by the compression of the brain nerve by a brain tumor. The current situation is not optimistic, and the surgery must be carried out in advance, preferably now."
"Well, I'll go sign..."
"Wait a moment."
Edmond stopped her and said, "Alan has gone to perform surgery on Lori. There is no doctor here to operate."
"What should we do?"
Edmond looked down at his arm and frowned tightly.
Alicia immediately saw through his thoughts and quickly blocked him, saying, "No, you can't perform the surgery. Your hand is still injured. We definitely have other ways, or we can find another doctor."
A intern nurse next to them couldn't help but interrupt, "Dr. Agos, there is no extra operating room. Just now a woman fell downstairs with Dr. Grimes, and all the formal doctors in our entire department have been transferred there, leaving only a few interns."
Alicia didn't expect things to happen so coincidentally.
It turned out that surgery was not just about having money, but there were still many unexpected situations that might occur in reality.
And these were precisely the bad situations that she was powerless to change. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Alicia heard herself choking up.
"How long can my mother last in this situation?"
Even Edmond couldn't give her a clear answer.
As Melissa's physical condition was already very dangerous and she was old, the risk of surgery was relatively high. If the operation delayed for too long and she missed the best opportunity, she might become vegetative or lose her ability to take care of herself even if the surgery was successful in the end.
Edmond's phone suddenly rang.
It was the dean calling.
"Dr. Agos, my daughter's condition is not optimistic. Can you come here to serve as an on-site commander."
"Dean, there is a patient here who is also in a very urgent situation. She just had an epileptic attack and is now in a coma, with a sudden drop in blood pressure. An operation should be arranged for her immediately. I request to arrange for two doctors to come here to assist with me."
"Take it easy. Just hurry over to Lori's operating room. The doctors here are not as skilled and experienced as you."
Edmond frowned tightly.
"All the doctors in neurosurgery are called to perform the same surgery, and the life of other patients doesn't matter?"
"How can they be compared to my daughter? Of course, my daughter's life is more important! Tell me. Are you coming to participate in the guidance? Don't you want to work in the hospital?"
Although Edmond did not turn on the amplifier, Alicia still heard what the dean said.
She suddenly stiffened.
The cruelty of reality plunged her into a state of extreme panic, making her tremble with anger but her expression be dull.
Edmond's expression didn't look much better either.
Alicia looked up at him.
After a while, Edmond spoke sternly to the other side of the phone, "If the importance of rescuing lives and injuries is determined based on personal connections, then I have more important people
waiting for me to rescue."
Seeing him hang up the phone, Alicia felt her nose turned sour and her eyes instantly turned red.
"Take our things. We will immediately switch to another hospital to perform the surgery on your mother."
