Fade Chen shrugged and said, "I'm a doctor specializing in Chinese Medicine. I'm not working in any hospital."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Almost all the doctors who were in the ward couldn't help but look at Fade with strange expressions.
Fabian Lin was agitated. With a sarcastic tone, he said," You are a doctor specializing in Chinese Medicine who doesn't even have a job. You are claiming that you can treat Chief Zheng's illness. What a joke."
After saying this, Fabian immediately turned to Principal Lin and the other vice-principals and doctors of the hospital and said, "Principal Lin, respected members of the hospital, this guy is a liar. Obviously, he's just here to cause trouble. I highly suggest that we kick him out immediately."
Hearing this, Daphne Tao explained quickly, "Fabian, stop with your nonsense. Dr. Chen is a very skilled doctor. I have seen these skills with my own eyes."
Fabian said sarcastically, "Never mind if he is skillful or not. Even if he was truly a skilled
doctor specializing in Chinese Medicine, what would he know about heart valves and obstructed blood vessels. Chinese Medicine does not deal with these kind of illnesses."
"Dr. Tao, some people are charlatans. Kindly remember that you're the director of internal medicine at City Medical Centre. You have to take responsibility for your words," Fabian said. He looked at Daphne with a vengeful and gleeful expression.
Daphne's expression changed, and she paused for a moment as she was struggling to explain about the matter.
However, Principal Lin, who had been silent all this while, declared at this moment," Chief Zheng's condition is serious.We must take this seriously and not make any bad decisions."
"Yeah, I haven't heard of someone using Chinese medicine to treat heart valve perforations before."
"Exactly. Some people aren't even real Chinese Medicine practitioners. Why are we still talking about this?"
All the specialists in the room started to voice their displeasure. Finally, Principal Lin looked at Daphne and said in a low voice, "Daphne, please bring your friend out for a while. In regards to Chief Zheng, we'll contact the people at Capital City and transfer him over immediately."
"Principal Lin, please Daphne was still trying her best to explain the situation.
Fabian was enthusiastic. He rushed over to Fade and pulled him up from his seat.
At this moment, Chief Zheng, who was lying on the bed, started to cough violently. He suddenly spurted out blood from his mouth and he turned deathly pale.
At the same time, the nurse who had been observing the medical equipment next to him said in an urgent voice, "This is bad. His heart rate has dropped. This is an emergency."
At this moment, everyone in the ward became flustered.
"It's over, Chief Zheng's condition has worsened."
"It's too late to transfer him to another hospital. We need to think of a solution!"
"Dr. Lin, you're the doctor in charge of Chief Zheng. You're the person who is most familiar with his condition. You need to think of something!" someone urged him.
Hearing someone pestering him, Fabian felt as if he had been put on blast. His expression was anxious.
"I, I am not sure what to do," Fabian answered. He clasped his hands, and he was anxious. However, he had no clue what to do.
At the same time, Chief Zheng's coughs were progressively getting worse. More blood appeared from his mouth and his face was even more pale. His heart rate kept plummeting as time passed.
The nurse was extremely anxious and said, "Oh no. His heart rate has dropped to fifty beats per minute, and it's still dropping. His situation is very critical."
If Fade didn't do anything, at least he could give the excuse that his options were limited, and that the illness was incurable. That's why Fabian didn't want Fade to perform his acupuncture on the patient.
When Daphne and Fade heard this, their faces fell and their expressions were cold. Even with a patient's life at stake, all this scumbag could think about was himself. He was truly disgusting.
Fade made a move to pierce the needle but he was stopped by Fabian. Although Fade could push him away, the needle had to be inserted carefully. If someone were to interrupt him, it would be very dangerous for the patient.
Seeing that the patient's condition was worsening, Fade turned to look at Fabian and said sternly, "You're just afraid of being responsible for this matter, aren't you? If that's the case, then I am willing to bear the responsibility for anything that happens after this. You won't be implicated. Are you happy now?"
Fabian froze for a second. He did not expect Fade to take on such a huge responsibility. For a moment, he was skeptical, and he said,"Are you being serious?"
"I haven't got the time to argue with you," Fade scoffed.
Fabian still couldn't believe it, and he said, "Words don't matter. Write it down with your signature. If you do that, then I'll agree."
"You--" Fade was furious. There was a patient who was about to die. How would he even have the time to sign anything!
Daphne was also angry beyond words. She gave Fabian a disdainful look and shouted at him, "This is an emergency. I am willing to vouch for Dr. Chen. If something happens, the responsibility will fall on me and Dr. Chen. It will have nothing to do with you. Now, are you happy?"
Fabian did not expect Daphne to come forward, and he was taken aback. Still feeling hesitant, he said,"I still think that it's better to have it in black and white."
"Fabian , you —" Daphne was infuriated, but time was of the essence. Therefore, without saying another word, she took a piece of report paper and quickly wrote everything down.
At this time, Chief Zheng's heart rate had dropped to thirty beats per minute. His situation was even more critical.
