Queenie walked quickly. She dressed into a surgical gown and entered the emergency room through a private pathway.
Zachary was so stressed that he was drenched in sweat. It wasn't until Queenie appeared that he seemed to calm down. He thoroughly explained the patient's condition to her.
Queenie's brows furrowed in worry the more she listened to Zachary's explanation.
With the ongoing conditions, the surgery's success rate was far lower than the initial three percent estimation.
Zachary placed the patient's life in Queenie's hands. From the looks of her face, he knew what Queenie was thinking. He said, “The surgery's success rate is too low. I'll ask a junior doctor to
do it.”
For a whole two seconds, Queenie was silent. As a doctor, she had witnessed far too many deaths. There was no way Queenie would risk her career on the life of an elderly woman.
Two seconds later, she broke silence. She nodded faintly and said, “That's the only solution. Come on, let's talk to her family.”
Zachary nodded in agreement as soon as he heard that, and replied, “Okay. I'll come with you. The lawyer is ready, and he should be in my office by now.”
“Great. You go get the lawyer then. I'll find a doctor to replace us for the surgery. Let's meet at the emergency room entrance after that.”
Both of them went their separate ways. In order to avoid bumping into the patient's family, they took a private pathway.
Not long after, Zachary and the lawyer arrived at the emergency door entrance.
At that exact moment, Queenie walked out of the emergency room.
She found Malorie an inexperienced surgeon. This surgeon had only operated once in his entire career. His success rate wasn't important to him as a junior. What was more important were his clinical experiences.
Obviously, the inexperienced surgeon would accept Queenie's offer. Naturally, the name of the surgeon in charge was also altered in the operative report to this surgeon's name.
This also meant that regardless of how the surgery went, Queenie and Zachary would be unaffected.
They would still hold a flawless surgical history.
