Chapter 28 Who Should He Trust?_1
Hospital
Bai Lang was sitting in his office reviewing the surgical data for the next day when a nurse rushed in, "Dr. Bai, the patient in VIP room 132 is suddenly experiencing unbearable abdominal pain and showing signs of shock. Please come quickly."
"Okay, I'm coming now."
Bai Lang followed the nurse to the ward and was surprised to see that the patient was Jiang Xinjie.
She was in so much pain that she was drenched in sweat, and her eyes began to turn white.
"What's going on with her?"
Li Mingxun didn't recognize Bai Lang, but Bai Lang recognized him.
"I'll have to examine her to find out. We need to take her to the operating room immediately."
Bai Lang indicated for Li Mingxun to lift Jiang Xinjie onto the mobile bed, and they headed towards the operating room together with the nurse.
"Family members please wait outside."
The nurse stopped Li Mingxun, "We will come out and update you if there are any changes."
"Alright."
Li Mingxun sat on the bench, looking at the light in the operating room turning on, feeling restless.
Jiang Xinjie was just fine a moment ago, chatting and laughing, but then suddenly she couldn't bear the abdominal pain. In just a few minutes, she was on the verge of passing out.
Inside the operating room, Bai Lang was examining Jiang Xinjie.
She was pale as a sheet, not the look of simple abdominal pain.
"Dr. Bai, this patient had an abortion surgery yesterday."
The nurse handed Jiang Xinjie's medical record to Bai Lang.
He quickly skimmed through it and gave an order, "Immediately notify the obstetrician to assist in the surgery."
"Yes."
The nurse went to make the phone call.
Bai Lang looked at Jiang Xinjie wearing an oxygen mask, and a momentary thought crossed his mind.
If he chose to, he could make it so that Jiang Xinjie would never leave the operating table. Would that alleviate Luo Qianxun's pain?
Jiang Xinjie was nothing more than a mistress who had gotten pregnant and then lost the baby. This could be seen as her just desserts.
Should he help Luo Qianxun take revenge on her? He could do it without anyone ever knowing.
But no, he wouldn't do that.
Because he was a doctor, his duty was to treat patients and save lives, not to kill.
"Dr. Bai?"
The nurse called out to Bai Lang, and he snapped back to reality.
"The obstetrician is here."
"Alright, start the surgery immediately."
Bai Lang cooperated with the obstetrician during the procedure. Knowing the cause of the disease made the operation much faster.
Jiang Xinjie had already fallen into a coma, completely unaware of what was going to happen to her.
Outside the operating room, Li Mingxun paced back and forth anxiously, peering inside through the glass from time to time.
No one came out to update him on the situation; his anxiety was of no help.
--
An hour later, the operating room door finally opened, and Bai Lang walked out.
"Doctor, how is she doing?"
Li Mingxun approached Bai Lang.
"Yesterday she had an abortion surgery. The uterus wasn't completely cleared, which caused her abdominal pain."
Bai Lang briefly explained the situation.
"Inadequate clearance? Could this be considered medical malpractice?"
Li Mingxun's expression darkened instantly, "I reserve the right to seek claims."
"This is not her first abortion, her uterine wall is already very thin, an incomplete clearance is not uncommon."
Bai Lang's words made Li Mingxun frown, "What do you mean by that?"
"From a professional medical standpoint, she has likely had several abortions before. She has completed the operation now; she should rest well for a month."
After giving Li Mingxun a look, Bai Lang returned to the operating room.
Li Mingxun stood in place, his face hard to read.
Jiang Xinjie claimed that this was her first pregnancy, but the doctor said it was not her first abortion. Who should he believe?
Who should he trust?
