Chapter 825: Chapter 825 Is Really Too Much Chapter 825: Chapter 825 Is Really Too Much Luo Qiao had just entered the classroom when she was called away by someone from Professor Chang’s team. They said there was an emergency surgery that required her assistance because the patient had a special status. They needed an assistant who was not only meticulous but also capable of taking over the surgery if the lead surgeon’s strength failed.
When the patient’s family found out that the chief surgeon’s first assistant was still an undergraduate in her senior year, they were quite agitated. Professor Chang said with a cold face, “Now is not the time to argue with you. The entire hospital is aware of Luo Qiao’s medical skills, which are not inferior to any attending physician here—you can ask around.
You also know the risks involved in this surgery. I will not destroy my reputation, nor will I allow my student to ruin her future. After the surgery is successful, I expect you to apologize to my student in person.”
On the way to the hospital, Luo Qiao took a sip of Spatial Well Water under the guise of drinking from her cup. After changing her clothes, she took a deep breath, disinfected herself, and entered the operating room.
As the surgery lights turned on, the family outside prayed non-stop, while inside the operating room, Luo Qiao, composed and cool-headed, swiftly passed the surgical instruments, constantly alerting the team to various situations during the surgery.
After four hours, the surgery was more than halfway through, but Professor Chang, due to his age, began to sweat profusely from his forehead—something the nurse wiping his sweat had never seen him do before.
Luo Qiao could clearly feel the professor struggling today and said directly, “Professor, I will take over the surgery from here. You can just guide me from the side.”
Professor Chang had been sick the previous few days and had only recovered yesterday. If the patient’s grandfather hadn’t owed a debt of gratitude to the Chang Family, Professor Chang’s family would have never let him undertake this surgery today.
Luo Qiao didn’t know about the professor’s illness, but she could clearly feel he was forcing himself today. After taking a deep breath, she took over as the lead surgeon. Those looking on saw the scalpel move with ease in her hands, and everyone thought that those hands were made for surgery—she was a medical genius.
Professor Chang also felt reassured, thinking to himself, indeed the new waves of the Yangtze River push the old waves forward—it’s impossible not to admit one’s age.
The surgery lasted a total of eight hours, and by the time Luo Qiao came out, she felt almost dehydrated and extremely hungry.
After leaving the operating room, a family member inquired about the situation. A girl stopped the doctor, insisting the doctor guarantee that the patient would definitely be fine. Even though Professor Chang repeatedly assured them the surgery was very successful, the girl was aggressively demanding, almost on the verge of forcing him to sign a guarantee.
The other family members tried to mediate several times, but the girl seemed not to listen and kept stopping Professor Chang from leaving.
The doctors who had come out of the operating room were starting to get angry. Luo Qiao saw Professor Chang sway slightly and only then did she hear from another doctor that he had been sick a few days prior and had just started to recover yesterday before being called in today.
Seeing that the girl was still pressing, Luo Qiao’s anger rose as well, “Enough!”
Luo Qiao used a loud voice, attracting the attention of the patient’s family members outside the operating room.
Luo Qiao spoke bluntly, “Professor Chang has already told you the surgery was very successful; what more guarantee do you want from him? We’ve been in the operating room for over eight hours, and we haven’t even had a sip of water, let alone food.
Professor Chang was sick until yesterday, and you still demand more—this is outrageous.”
Then, sneering at the cold lunch boxes on the bench, she continued, “You’re concerned about the patient but still can eat. I really wonder if your concern is genuine or just for show. Please move aside.”
The girl was stunned by the scare at first but then snapped back, “Who do you think you are to talk to me like that?”
A member of the Chang Family spoke up, “Chu Yue, watch your words.”
At this point, the medical staff coming out of the operating room could no longer stand by, and they stepped forward. One of the doctors said, “What do you think she is? You’ve got some nerve to insult her. Without her, the only outcome for the patient would have been death. I’ve never seen such an arrogant family member.”
Professor Chang gave the girl a cold glance and said to the Chang Family, “The debt of gratitude has been repaid with this, but today’s insult to my student demands explanation. If you don’t give one, then I will personally go to the senior elder’s place to seek justice.”
