Female Novel
Chapter 2827
The young doctor asked, "Is it Dr. Park from General Hospital?"
"Yes," replied Luca. She was aware that despite working in different hospitals, the doctors hadsomeone they admired who were in the same field.
Johann was someone whom most doctors looked up to.
It was an admiration for his medical skills and nothing beyond that.
"Do you know Dr. Park?" the accompanying doctor asked again.
Luca could not be bothered to pay attention to such matters at the moment. The nurse'sabsentmindedness earlier crossed her mind, and she said, "Does your hospital have a naturopathydepartment? Can you arrange for a new set of dry-needling supplies for me? Please put it on Ms.Poplar's account."
"Why do you need needles?" the department chair could not help but ask.
"Ms. Poplar's condition isn't good right now. Transferring her to another hospital carries risks. If I havethe needles, they might come in handy at a critical moment. I'll bear the risks. You don't have to worryabout it," Luca immediately explained as the young doctor made a phone call.
After a while, a person in a white coat walked toward them and asked, "Why does your departmentneed this for?"
Luca took it from him and walked out of the accompanying doctor's office.
The accompanying doctor did not even have time to ask about Johann. He had no choice but to turn tothe department chair and ask, "Sir, do you know that woman? She seems like a doctor as well."
"There are so many doctors. How could I possibly know them all?" The department chair shook hishead. He could not help but wonder.
He had been following Sarah's case for several years.
However, he had never heard of Sarah knowing such a prominent figure in the medical field.
If she knew other doctors, why would she come to their hospital for treatment? Even if she did not havemoney, if she knew a doctor who could vouch for her, she could have undergone surgery at thathospital.
Cerebral aneurysm was like a ticking time bomb. He had recommended several times for Sarah toundergo surgery at a better hospital.
Yet, Sarah always used the excuse of not having that much money...
Now, she was halfway into the jaws of death. It all depended on this woman's actions if Sarah could bepulled out.
The hospital quickly made arrangements for other matters. Soon, Sarah was escorted out of the wardby medical staff and onto an ambulance.
Luca decided to follow the ambulance to the hospital where Johann was.
Warren had no choice but to follow along. In the meantime, he notified Luke about it.
Luca was getting herself into trouble. Warren dared not to hide it from Luke either.
While they were on the way to the hospital, Johann called.
"I've gone through the medical records. I can clearly see the issues from the imaging and testsconducted by Mercy Hospital. Once you arrive at the hospital, we'll immediately arrange for the surgery.
Dr, Craw, how much longer until you reach the hospital?"
"Probably around ten minutes." Luca estimated the time they would be arriving. The ambulance wasbarreling toward its destination with incredible speed. It would likely arrive in about ten minutes.
"Good. The resident doctor will be waiting for you at the hospital's entrance," Johann respondedwithout hesitation. He immediately prepared an operating room.
Initially, there were no available operating rooms. He had arranged for a non-urgent surgery to bepostponed, freeing up the current operating room.
Now that everything was in place, they only had to wait for the patient to be transported here.
When there were a few kilometers left until they reached the hospital, the monitoring device suddenlyblared out an urgent alarm.
Luca turned to the accompanying doctor and said, "Let me handle this."
The accompanying doctor hesitated for a moment. He saw Luca take out a new packet of needles.
"What are you doing?"novelbin
“Ms. Poplar is too weak now. Let me try something," answered Luca as she inserted two needles intoSarah's forehead.
The accompanying doctor was startled by what he saw.
He knew that naturopathy could save lives. This method sometimes proved to be more effective thanmodern medicine in critical situations.
However, Luca's choice of vital points seemed unusual...
The accompanying doctor's jaw dropped as he watched Luca's actions. He was torn between speakingup and staying silent. Could a mistake in inserting the needles worsen the patient's condition?
He held the rescue tools in his hands, ready to take over if necessary.
With utmost caution, Luca continued to insert the needles. After the third needle, the alarm on themonitoring device ceased, and Sarah's vital signs began to stabilize.
The accompanying doctor blinked his eyes, glanced at the monitoring device, and confirmed that it wasfunctioning correctly. The alarms had indeed stopped, and all the indicators had stabilized.
Luca's needle placements seemed different from what he had learned about vital points, but itundeniably worked.
The emergency doctor asked, "Are you a doctor too?"
"No, I'm not," Luca firmly denied it. "These needles should not be removed until we reach the operatingroom. This way, we can buy some time for Dr. Park."
While Luca said that, she took a photo of the needles for Johann.
She could have inserted a few more needles to further stabilize Sarah's condition.
However, the points she needed to target were covered by bandages, making it difficult for her toproceed. Hence, she settled for three needles.
"But why would you dare..." The accompanying doctor grew anxious as he was worried that somethingmight happen to the patient.
Luca remained calm and replied, "I've signed the necessary documents. I'll take responsibility forwhatever happens."
As soon as she said that, she felt the vehicle come to a halt.
Both of them heard the driver say, "We've arrived at the hospital."
Then, the doors of the ambulance swung open.
Luca stepped out of the vehicle. Johann was nowhere to be seen, but she noticed the resident doctorwho was with him. She nodded at him and said, "Take her straight to the operating room. Tell Dr. Parkthat the anesthesia was successful. He may remove the needles later."
"Alright, Dr. Craw." The resident doctor immediately caught up with the footsteps of the other nursesand hurried toward the operating room.
The accompanying doctor, who had been riding with the patient, had completed his task after bringingSarah here.
However, he could not help but notice that the young doctor from earlier had addressed the womannext to him as Dr. Craw.
The accompanying doctor curiously assessed the situation. If she was not a doctor, could she be aprofessor at a medical school?
Still, she seemed too young to carry the title of professor.
Luca ignored his scrutiny and walked straight into the hospital. She had brought Sarah here, so shecould not simply abandon her after they arrived.
She sat outside the operating room and waited.
Luca felt much calmer than before when she sat here again.
Sarah's situation was completely different from Wanda's.
Wanda was her aunt. Naturally, she would be more worried.
However, Sarah...
Luca believed that it would be enough as long as she did her best. She was no god, and she could notsave everyone.
This happened only because Luca gave her business card to Sarah. Luca did not find it troublesome,but rather, she felt that as long as she acted according to her conscience, she could accept it no matterwhat the outcome was.
If Johann could not improve Sarah's condition, then there was nothing she could do as well.
If the hospital had called her a day earlier, Sarah might have had more opportunities to survive.
Now, all she could do was wait.
Warren hurried over. "Dr. Craw, has the patient been taken into the operating room?"
"Yes. Warren, please help me to handle the necessary procedures," replied Luca. She took Sarah'sdocuments out of her briefcase. Then, she took her bank card out. "Please pay the deposit as well."
A deposit was required for hospitalization, let alone for a surgical procedure. It was only becauseJohann knew Luca that he granted Sarah an expedited convenience.
Otherwise, they would have had to wait until Luca finished the procedures before they could performthe surgery on Sarah.
