Chapter 34: Why Not?

Chapter 34: Why Not?

"Who is he? If he can heal my son's eye, I will give him anything!" Mr

Dani said emotionally.

"There is a seventy percent chance of success with him, but we'll need to

ask him to be sure."

Everyone was supposed to rejoice at the news, but not Dr Glen. He shook

his head and spoke to Director Ezra, "Impossible! No one in Oregon can

beat me!"

"He is a special person," the Director replied seriously.

Dr Glen looked at him with suspicion and wondered what's on his mind. "Is he trying to ruin my reputation? I'm renowned as the greatest surgeon

in Oregon. It's hard to operate on Jerry's eye, and now Ezra said

someone else could do it more successfully? Will this threaten my future

spot as Vice Director?"

Dr Glen thought hard and started becoming paranoid. The Director

must've acted like this because of Leon. He will rise in the ranks quickly

and replace his position one day!

Director Ezra thought harder. Leon is not willing to work in the hospital

nor take the position of a mentor in the Oregon Institute of Medicine.

How would Leon manage a hospital and the billions of properties waiting

for him to inherit?

"Director, where is the man? Why have I never heard of him during my

time working here?" Dr Glen asked with suspicion.

Director Ezra didn't want to give him the right image. He said, "No

wonder you've never heard of him for he is a very humble man. I dare

say in the next ten years he will become a celebrated figure in United

States's field of medicine!"

Ten years? Leon could do it in ten days if he wants to.

"Director, I think that's too much. Even if he is a genius, we've never

seen him or know his identity," Dr Glen said roughly.

Mr Dani started to grow impatient and shouted, "Fine! The two of you,

bring him here. Don't neglect my son! In the future I will donate for the

hospital's cause!"

The reason behind his bold actions is because the Dani family donated

medical instruments to the hospital annually. In return, the hospital will

promote the DN Group, thus benefitting each other. The renewal of medical instruments requires a lot of money. This makes

Mr Dani a respected and important person in the hospital.

Dr Glen waited for the clown Director Ezra is about to introduce. He

refused to believe someone in Oregon is more skilful than he is.

Leon received a call from Director Ezra requesting for his help.

"Oh… I will head there immediately," Leon agreed to come.

Although Leon and the Director are not very close, they know each other

well enough for Leon to stop by and have a look.

When Leon arrived, Director Ezra greeted him.

"Leon, the patient is in an emergency state. After the car collision, a

glass shard entered his left eye and damaged his optic nerve. It will be a

difficult surgery. Do you have another solution?"

Leon answered relaxedly, "Don't panic. This is not a big problem."

Leon had already observed the patient's wound this morning and

immediately had a solution.

"Listen to me Leon. The patient is a man of status; he is the son of a VIP

in this hospital who has donated a lot for the hospital. You get what I

mean, right?" the Director said carefully.

Leon nodded with a straight facial expression, "Ah, I understand."

"This will all rely on you. I wish you all the best." The Director gave

Leon a pat on his shoulder.

Leon kept his mental stability; he must not be anxious. Dr Glen looked at Leon, and his face changed. He couldn't imagine how

the great man Director Ezra was talking about is the same Student who

sat in his conference an hour ago.

"How could it be you?" Dr Glen pointed at Leon, his eyes shooting

daggers at him.

Leon took firm strides towards the doctor. "Why not?"

"You're a student with no experience. You're coming here to stir up

trouble! Director Ezra, is this the expert you mentioned?" Dr Glen asked

in disbelief.

"True! He is the man I told you about. Despite his young age, he has

excellent medical skills. Let him check on the patient now."

Although Director Ezra is unsure if he made the right decision, he

believed that with the knowledge Leon possesses, he shows a more

promising result than Dr Glen.

Also, for health problems incurable by modern medicine, trying the

methods of traditional medicine might bring a positive outcome. Since

Leon is gifted in the knowledge of modern medicine, he could integrate

the two practices in treatment.

But Dr Glen refuses to accept the Director's reasoning. How could a

famous surgeon be compared to a student? He doesn't trust Leon at all!

"This must be a joke! Director, are you related to Leon in any way? How

could you do this?" Dr Glen asked with a cold smile.

"My decision is not your problem! Don't try to school me and mind your

position!", Director Ezra answered firmly. "Director don't take it the wrong way. Its just that you're allowing a

student to operate Mr Dani's son… This is not a joke, right? Not only it

is illegal, but how much experience does an undergraduate possess? I bet

he hasn't even touched a knife!"

"A patient's life is more important beyond existing rules. Plus, this is a

special situation. Who said Leon is just a student?'

"Then who is he?"

"He is a lecturer at the Oregon Institute of Medicine with a reputation

higher than most doctors in our hospital. I wouldn't say this but if Dr.

Glen is sure of his abilities, I will not invite Leon into this problem."

"I don't know what trick you're playing but try asking Mr Dani if he is

willing to allow a student to do the procedure." Glen replied coldly.

Mr Dani was there during their exchange. He scrunched his forehead at

what he heard.

"Student or not, can any of you do the procedure? Or else I'm moving to

another hospital!"

Dr Glen quickly said, "Mr Dani, Director Ezra is letting an

inexperienced student to operate on your son. They are playing to play

with his life!"

Mr Dani was furious, "What's this Dr. Ezra? I wouldn't let a student

operate on my son. At least a senior doctor will do! Are you trying to

mess with me?"

Leon smiled coldly at Mr Dani's reaction. A lot of people are after his famous ancient treatments but couldn't find it

anywhere.

If it wasn't for Leon travelling around the world, no matter who the boss

is, don't try to offend him!
