12. The god of surgeries

New York City, USA

 A huge crowd of people and reporters all armed with huge cameras and microphones camped outside the city's largest hospital both anxious and eager to receive some news as dozens of armed police officers struggled to restrain the huge and aggressive crowd.

 The whole USA and the rest of the world was in an uproar due to the attack and shooting of a government's minister while he was giving a speech to the public.

The minister suffered severe gunshot wounds on the head and was immediately rushed to the hospital in efforts to save his life.

 Unfortunately, the real attacker hadn't been identified but several suspects were arrested for questioning.

 The Minister's life was in danger as he was on the blink of death before he arrived at the hospital.

 In the private VIP wing, family, friends and some government officials closely followed as he was quickly wheeled to the emergency room.

 " Please wait here for a while. For now we can't promise anything but we'll try our best to save his life. "

 A doctor tried to calm down the extremely panicked and anxious family of the patient before he sighed entering the ER.

 If only God intervened...

 He was the lead surgeon in the operation.

He knew that was hopeless considering the intensity of the gunshot wound on the head of the patient.

 In the ER, after the patient's blood pressure and oxygenation were maintained, an urgent CT scan of the brain was obtained.

 It revealed a bullet trajectory with a right frontal comminuted fracture and bony & metallic fragments in the right frontal and right occipital lobes.

There was also some brain swelling with a midline shift to the left and subarachnoid hemorrhage.

 Their conclusion was to first wait for the patient's vital signs to stabilize before removing the foreign body in the occipital lobe, they'd then evaluate whether it was suitable for removal or maintenance.

 " Nothing will change, he'll still die anyway. "

 A soft but cold voice suddenly rang, interrupting the lead doctor in the operation who in turn furrowed his brows in both confusion and annoyance.

" Bullets that traverse the brain stem, multiple lobes of the brain or the ventricular system are particularly lethal. Many initial survivors develop uncontrollable intracranial pressure and subsequently succumb. "

 The young woman whose whole body was covered in scrubs and a face mask continued without changing her indifferent expression.

 " Moreover the foreign body isn't your usual bullet, it'll kill him within a few hours. It is meant to release some lethal nuclear material after every 3 hours. "

 What?!!

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

 They stared at her as if they were looking at a ghost.

 " Miss who are you? I don't recognize this person. "

 An operating room nurse suddenly voiced out pointing at the young woman.

 The others who were too shocked to react now seemed to realize that they had an intruder in the operating room.

 The middle aged lead surgeon inhaled a sharp breath trying to control his emotions though the expression on his face looked terrifying.

 " Who are you and how did you get in here? Who allowed her in? "

 His angry eyes looked as if they were going to release fire.

 " My name is Dr Nell. I was contracted by the government to take part in the operation. "

 The young woman calmly stated her face still expressionless.

Everyone; " ... !!! "

 WHAT?!

 Nell?? As in DR NELL? One of the most genius surgeons in the entire world?

 " We don't have time to waste. Prepare the patient for the operation. "

 As if hypnotized, the doctors obediently nodded quickly getting into action.

 " Yes... yes right away sir... sorry I mean ma'am "

 The lead surgeon was trembling from excitement as if he had seen God with his own eyes.

 It was actually not far from it. His greatest idol in the medical world... !!!

 Those outside the operating room would every now and then glance at the indicator above the operating theatre doors.

 After 6 hours, the light above the doors finally dimmed and doctors still dressed in scrubs came out of the room.

 After informing the exhausted family about the Minister's condition, to much of their relief, the lead surgeon in the operation who also happened to be the hospital's chief director went to address a press meeting that had been set up to brief the public about minister Moore's condition.

 " Members of the press, family and the public good evening? "

 " I'm very proud and excited to announce that minister Clark Moore is finally out of danger, his condition has been stabilized.

 The hospital would like to acknowledge the great help of Dr Nell who happened to appear at the nick of time. Without Dr Nell, the operation would have been close to impossible. "

 The crowd quickly fell into an uproar!

 " Minister Clark is out of danger! Oh my goodness, Dr Nell's hands are truly magical, I didn't think he'd really make it alive. "

 " Did I just hear Dr Nell?! He/she is my greatest idol. Where are you, we'd like to to see you!! "

 " Has he left the hospital? We'd like to offer our gratitude. "

 " Dr Nell you're our god of medicine! Can we see your face for once?! "

 Overwhelmingly trying to calm the excited crowd, the director courteously replied but much to their disappointment.

 " I'm sorry but unfortunately Dr Nell immediately left the hospital premises after the operation to attend to an emergency. "

 At the same same time in a high end presidential hotel room in London, a man sat on a white couch in the dimly lit room slowly smoking a cigarette.

 There was a knock at the door and when someone entered the room, he moved to extinguish the cigarette in his hands before he opened his eyes slightly.

 " Boss, she's no longer in London. She has just completed an operation in New York but unfortunately none of our sources were able to catch up to her, they lost her immediately she exited the operating room.

 The only thing that has been confirmed is that she's a slender woman in her mid twenties with a long black hair. "

 The man seated at the couch furrowed his brows before his eyes turned black and penetrating.

 " Continue with the investigation. "

 " Got it boss. "
