2429 The Doctor Said He Might Have to… Amputate
Qin Si, Mo Dong, and the others also saw the girl rushing over from the elevator.
Qin Si’s elbow was bandaged tightly. He was sitting in a wheelchair outside the operating room and receiving an IV. Seeing Qiao Nian, he struggled to get up as he said to the girl, “Sister Qiao, I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of Elder Feng. I let something like this happen to him. I…”
“You’re still on the infusion. Don’t be agitated.” Xu Yi pressed his shoulder and made him sit down. Then, he calmly said to Qiao Nian, “The dean is still in the operating room. His condition isn’t good.”
“I know.” Qiao Nian nodded, indicating that she already knew. Then, she sized up the two injured people. “What about the two of you? Are you alright?”
Xu Yi shrugged. “I’m fine. It’s just that my mother was frightened.”
Qiao Nian looked at the man in the wheelchair, who appeared even worse. “Are you alright?”
Qin Si first shook his head, then worriedly said, “The doctor said that Elder Feng…”
“On my way here, Guan Yan already told me that his thigh is fractured and he’s bleeding internally. The situation isn’t optimistic, right?” Qiao Nian said.
Qin Si had been guarding outside. Hearing this, his handsome face became even more guilty. “The doctor said that he might have to… amputate his leg.”
Qiao Nian nodded.
Qin Si punched his leg and hugged his head, groaning in pain. “If I had brought Elder Feng to the hospital earlier, his injury wouldn’t have worsened like this.”
Someone patted his shoulder.
Qin Si calmed down for some reason. He looked up and met the girl’s dark eyes. Stunned, he heard the girl’s reassuring voice. “Don’t worry. I’m here.”
Qin Si was dazed. “Sister Qiao, you…”
However, Qiao Nian smiled confidently and said, “Don’t forget, I’m also a doctor.”
Qin Si’s sluggish mind finally came to a realization. He had been so driven by self-blame and guilt that he only now remembered that Qiao Nian was a doctor. And not an ordinary doctor at that!
At this moment, the door of the operating theater opened again. The chief surgeon came out with a sweat-covered forehead. He looked at everyone and then directly asked, “Who’s the patient’s family member? Come here for a moment.”
“I’m his family.”
Qiao Nian walked past the others and asked with a dark expression, “How’s my teacher’s condition?”
“His left femur is fractured, and there’s also a steel rebar fragment puncture at his knee accompanied by a tear in the ligament. Moreover, the best surgery time was delayed and the patient is relatively old… After discussion, we came to a comprehensive conclusion—amputation.
“Amputation is the fastest and best way to save the patient’s life. It’ll also deal with it once and for all. It can avoid unnecessary complications in the future.”
“The surgery requires the signature of the patient’s family. This is the notice detailing the risks.” The doctor took out a contract and handed it to Qiao Nian. He also took out a fountain pen from his chest pocket and handed it to her. “Take a look and see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, sign it.”
Qiao Nian took the notice and pen from him, then looked up and said, “I’m sorry, I’m also a doctor. I want to perform this surgery.”
“You’re a doctor?” The chief surgeon clearly did not understand the situation. He was shocked and could not react for some time.
