Zheng Ren nodded; along with Old Chief Physician Pan, he went to the ICU workstation to carefully study the patient's recent test results and history.
The patient's results were chilling, his condition staggeringly critical.

With surgery, the patient had a 20% chance of survival.
Without it, the patient had nil.
