Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 231 Conditions for Amputation



He Li, oh He Li, you're to blame for not recognizing favors!

This was the first time Director Wei had been so presumptuous. He had been full of confidence, but unexpectedly, he failed.

There was no need to retaliate against He Li.

Nor was there any point in doing so.

Moreover, He Li's man seemed to be able to find connections with the hospital dean.

So, Director Wei set his sights on the one place he could reach out to.

On the operating table, conditions are ever-changing. Even if it ends with He Li's mother dying on the operating table, it would be acceptable.

And all he needed was to send a message.

Doctors can treat illnesses.

They can treat toward a good outcome; naturally, they can also treat toward a poor one.

With just a little tampering, He Li's mother's leg couldn't be saved.

Even if Su Chen could find connections with the hospital dean, what of it?

After all, the ones who knew the condition best were him, the head of the emergency department, and the orthopedic surgeon currently operating on He Li's mother.

To ordinary people, doctors are as gods; their words are edicts.

At this time, He Li was completely at a loss.

Like a headless fly.

Even, if it could save her mother's leg from being amputated, she would be willing to accompany the disgusting Director Wei.

But the doctor's words gave her no hope.

If not amputated now, it would inevitably be amputated later.

There was also the risk of infection.

"Hope you make your decision quickly, after all, the sooner the decision, the more favorable it is for the patient," the doctor said emotionlessly.

To become a lead surgeon, one must have seen countless lives pass.

Used to seeing life and death, let alone an amputation.

Su Chen was puzzled; although he had not met He Li's mother, he observed her from a distance.

Her mother's leg shouldn't be that severe.

He immediately frowned and asked, "Why does her mother's leg need amputation?"

"Why... Why do I need to tell you? You're not a doctor!" The orthopedic surgeon said sternly.

The reaction of the other party caused Su Chen to raise his eyebrows slightly, and he continued, "Professionally speaking, amputation is necessary only if at least two out of four parts—nerves, muscles, soft tissues, bones—suffer irreversible damage. I'm asking, does the patient meet these conditions?"

After Su Chen finished speaking, the throat of the orthopedic surgeon visibly squirmed, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.

He never expected Su Chen to be able to state the conditions for amputation so accurately.

"This is the iron rule; any diagnosis not based on it is a serious medical malpractice," Su Chen added. "So, I'm asking you now, does the patient meet these conditions?"

It must be said that Su Chen caused a great psychological pressure on this orthopedic surgeon.

Because Su Chen was not wrong at all.

However, the power always lies in the hands of the doctors; patients and their families have no right to understand the condition, even if they have received information from the doctor.

And it might not even be the true condition.

"I've examined it earlier, and the patient's leg nerves, soft tissues, and muscles have all suffered irreversible damage," Director Wei walked over at this point.

He gave the orthopedic surgeon a look.

With the support of Director Wei, the orthopedic surgeon felt much more at ease.

He had been startled by the abrupt statement from Su Chen, but now he had come to his senses.

He was the doctor, after all. Wasn't it up to him to decide if the patient needed an amputation?

As the head of the emergency department, Director Wei had significant seniority in the hospital, and his words carried persuasive power.

"So what you're saying is, based on your diagnosis, the patient must undergo amputation?" Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

Director Wei glanced subtly at the head of the orthopedics department, who nodded covertly at him.

Director Wei understood that everything had already been taken care of.

Even if an orthopedic specialist was brought in now, the patient's leg would have to be amputated.

Without hesitation, he said: "I'm not just saying this. Even if you take the patient to the best orthopedic hospital in the world, amputation would still be the only option."

Hearing Director Wei say that, even if she took her mother to the best orthopedic hospital in the world, amputation was the only option, He Li's tears started streaming down nonstop.

Was her mother really doomed to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair?

However, after Director Wei's definitive response, Su Chen actually smiled.

Because he already understood the situation. Thе М|V|LЕ&МРYR tеаm wоrkеd hаrd оn this сhаptеr.

It was definitely this orthopedic doctor who had tampered with the patient.

He had caused He Li's mother's leg, which could have been treated, to become one that had to be amputated.

He didn't expect these people to be so cruel.

Failing to take down He Li directly, they even took their anger out on the patient.

Su Chen's gaze swept over Director Wei and the orthopedic doctor, and he asked again as if to confirm: "Let me ask one more time, did both of you diagnose this together?"

"Absolutely!" Director Wei replied without a second thought.

The orthopedic doctor hesitated for a moment but then nodded: "Yes!"

After all, he had already stealthily destroyed the nerve tissue and soft tissue in He Li's mother's leg after administering the anesthetic.

And as for the bone, it was already damaged.

Even if the most skilled orthopedic expert were to come, the conclusion would be the same.

"Good, remember what you just said," Su Chen's lips curved into a slight smile.

Then, he called Long Jingqian again.

Soon, the hospital director appeared again.

"Young man, Director Wei and Director Liu, especially Director Liu, are authorities in this field. His judgment is always correct." If it hadn't been for his daughter begging him persistently, Long Shibo really wouldn't have come again.

"Of course, I believe they are not wrong, but what if someone is deliberately causing harm, misreporting the condition, wouldn't that ruin a patient's life?"

"Young man, what are you implying?" Su Chen's words immediately made Directors Wei and Liu look displeased.

"Since that is the case, then I will check it myself," said Long Shibo who was also trained in orthopedics and certainly an authority in the field.

Hearing that the director would check personally, neither of the two were worried in the least.

"I have one request - I need to go in as well, to prevent anyone from further tampering!" Su Chen continued.

Su Chen's words slightly darkened Long Shibo's face.

Wasn't what Su Chen was suggesting the same as not trusting him?

But since it was his daughter who had asked him for help, he agreed to let Su Chen go in with him.

Zhang Yingju had not completely lost consciousness, because her amputation was to be performed under local anesthesia.

She had already vaguely heard from the doctors that her leg needed to be amputated.

Although she'd rather be unable to stand on her own and save the money for her younger son's treatment, knowing she would have to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair, Zhang Yingju's heart still collapsed.

"Auntie, don't worry, perhaps those two doctors made a misdiagnosis," Su Chen said as he walked in, seeing He Li's mother with her head turned to one side and tears swirling in her eyes. He gently held He Li's mother's hand and comforted her.

"Heh, if we can misdiagnose such a simple case, then I might as well not practice medicine anymore," both Director Wei and Director Liu said with a cold laugh.
