"He still has a long road at recovery, but with a solid team behind him, he is sure to pull true."
The surgeon that performed the surgery on Lu Yi told the group of health professionals that worked tirelessly alongside him, to operate on the patient that was brought in from a serious car crash leaving one dead, unaware that a second had been pronounced "dead" by the surgical unit that performed the surgery.
"When do you think a discharge is likely?"
The scrub nurse of the team asked out of habit, because during training as a nurse planning of a patient's discharge starts right from the moment the patient comes through the doors of the hospital or when the patient's scheduled procedure was completed.
"I'll see how he fares for the next 72 hours, that will be the determining factor as to whether or not Mr Liu is ready to be discharge or needed a longer stay for further monitoring of his condition."
