54: As long as you are lying in the operating room, don’t even think about making decisions for yourself!
Chapter 054: Once You're on the Operating Table, You Can't Make Your Own Decisions!
"Uncle, if you trust me, I guarantee your foot will recover completely."
After making up his mind,
Lin Yi quickly took two steps forward, stood in front of the patient, looked him in the eye, and said firmly,
"I understand your concerns."
Seeing that the patient's unfocused gaze still lacked any spirit, Lin Yi continued,
"If the surgery is successful, I will try my best to help you get some reduction on the medical expenses."
"If the surgery fails, you will still need a second amputation surgery."
"I, Lin Yi, will bear all the expenses incurred during your hospitalization..."
"Are you willing to trust me and try it once?"
After offering two choices, Lin Yi was not in a hurry, waiting for the patient to make his decision.
Helping someone to this extent was already doing his utmost.
As for how the patient chose, he completely respected his opinion... A healer does not treat those who do not believe!
Even if Lin Yi wanted to test the true effect of his Master-level Limb Replantation Technique.
But he wasn't so cheap as to offer his warm face to someone's cold backside.
Wu You, who caused trouble this morning, wasn't he the best example of the farmer and the snake? Not only the uncle who urgently needed surgery now.
Facing Zhang Yuxi, who was lying in the ward, Lin Yi had the same attitude.
If the patient didn't believe in his medical skills, or didn't believe what he said,
Then let whoever take care of it; even if he died of illness, it had nothing to do with him!
Having lived two lives, and been a doctor in two lives, Lin Yi had seen all kinds of human nature and indifference.
Of course, he wouldn't forget a doctor's principles and original intention.
But in this world, besides his blood-related sister Lin Qian, everything else was fleeting... "Doctor, you're not joking, are you?"
"My foot really has a chance to recover!"
After hearing Lin Yi's sincere assurance,
Wang Youcai's eyes suddenly gleamed, and he could no longer remain calm.
He didn't want to spend more money, just as the female doctor who had just left said.
To strive for something you know is impossible is foolish!
But the male doctor in front of him dared to make such a serious guarantee, which clearly showed he was absolutely confident.
A doctor's salary doesn't come easily.
The two sides were unrelated; there was no need for him to bear such a great responsibility for a patient... "Since I dare to say so, I'm certainly confident."
"If you trust me, let's start the surgery immediately."
"The longer the delay, the less favorable it is for post-operative recovery!"
Lin Yi reiterated his point of view.
"I trust you, Doctor, let's start immediately!"
Wang Youcai also knew that his surgery couldn't be delayed.
Since he had Lin Yi's double guarantee, what was there to hesitate about?
Even if the surgery failed, it would just be enduring suffering one more time.
To save his family so much money, was he afraid of suffering? But if it succeeded, he could return to being a normal person.
Then the doctor in front of him would be a living Bodhisattva, and no amount of gratitude from his family would be too much.
If money was lost, they could earn it back little by little.
If his foot became disabled, their future life would be incredibly difficult... After getting the patient's consent, Lin Yi took the position of lead surgeon, ready to start the surgery immediately.
"Dr. Lin, I'm afraid that won't do, will it?"
"In the absence of the lead surgeon, no one else can make decisions arbitrarily."
"Why don't I go ask Dr. Lu for instructions..."
Seeing that after discussing with the patient, Lin Yi was going to perform the surgery as the lead surgeon.
The medical staff assisting in the operating room panicked.
Having been doctors for so many years, they had never experienced such a situation!
It wasn't that they hadn't experienced it, but that they didn't even dare to have such a thought.
Without any consultation or report to the lead surgeon,
The first assistant was going to perform surgery himself, and even a surgical plan contrary to the lead surgeon's.
What was going on here!
It's as if the lead surgeon's skill wasn't as good as his assistant's... "I'll say it again, do you all believe in my, Lin Yi's, surgical skill?"
Time was tight, and Lin Yi didn't even have the mind for idle chatter.
He directly asked a question that made everyone a bit awkward.
"Dr. Lin's suturing skill is definitely unparalleled in Central Hospital."
"Of course we believe; we even repeatedly requested the director that Dr. Lin must perform the suturing for Emergency Department surgeries."
"But this surgery also involves Limb Replantation Technique, which is not as simple as just suturing..."
Everyone started advising him, talking over each other.
No one dared to question Lin Yi's suturing skill.
This was genuine talent and learning, verified by the top doctors from various departments of the Hospital.
But the key is!
During each independent surgical procedure, various issues need to be addressed.
Excellent suturing skills alone do not mean one can handle the entire surgery... "Stop talking!" Lin Yi sternly interrupted everyone.
If they continued to discuss, the patient would ultimately suffer.
"If you believe in my, Lin Yi's, ability, then cooperate with me to complete this surgery."
"If you don't believe, please remain silent, reserve your right to question, and we can discuss other things after the surgery is done."
Lin Yi forcefully presented two options.
Whether they were willing to accept was entirely up to their own choice... In the current situation, whether anyone cooperated with him or not,
It wouldn't significantly affect Lin Yi's completion of the surgery.
So, he wasn't too concerned about everyone's attitude and choices.
As long as he completed this surgery cleanly and efficiently, and the patient could recover to his original healthy state,
The facts would make everyone shut up obediently... "Thank you, doctors, you don't need to argue at all."
"I can completely make decisions for my own body."
"It was I who agreed to this young doctor performing the surgery; I will bear the responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Hearing so many doctors object, Wang Youcai, lying on the Hospital bed, became anxious first.
He quickly spoke up, taking the responsibility upon himself.
Considering the young doctor's various performances, he completely believed that this person might be able to cure him.
If they kept arguing like this, and he missed his only chance for recovery, he would regret it to death!
"Uncle, you..."
The medical staff wanted to say that once he was on this Hospital bed,
His body might not truly be his own to decide.
Once a patient entered the operating room, the treatment plan to be adopted still depended on the family's signature outside.
But since the patient was still conscious, saying this directly would be too hurtful.
Everyone could only shake their heads, pretending not to hear... "Uncle, please bear with it for a moment, I'm starting immediately."
With the patient's firm attitude towards treatment, Lin Yi no longer bothered with the medical staff's choices.
After informing the patient, he immediately began the surgery.
"What else can we do!"
The die was cast; they couldn't just watch the patient face risks.
The medical staff on site exchanged bitter smiles.
They had no choice but to return to their positions and continue their work... "I must solemnly inform you that the patient has given up on the Limb Replantation surgical plan..."
At the same time,
Lu Chenxi once again called the family into the reception room.
Announcing the worst outcome...
