577 Obstinate
After ensuring that Chen Mo was informed of his whereabouts to alleviate his concerns, the car soon arrived at the military hospital's entrance.
Lin Chao, a true gentleman, opened the car door for Xia Wan.
At the entrance, Dr. Fang was already waiting, his expression grave.
"Miss Xia, there are some matters I would like to discuss with you first," Dr. Fang said with utmost seriousness.
Xia Wan gestured to Lin Chao and then followed Dr. Fang to a secluded area nearby.
Making sure there were no eavesdroppers, Dr. Fang finally spoke up: "Miss Xia, your actions this time are excessively risky!
"Despite receiving a directive from higher-ups to fully cooperate with your treatment, the current treatment procedures and medication standards are in clear violation of established protocols.
"If, by any chance..."
"If someone seeks retribution afterward, neither you nor I can bear the responsibility!"
Xia Wan knew that Dr. Fang's advice came from a place of genuine concern. However, as Lin Chao had pointed out, these doctors were overly cautious. In a true emergency, their unwavering adherence to rules and the need to report every detail could significantly impede critical treatment.
"Don't worry, Dr. Fang. If something were to happen, you won't be held accountable," Xia Wan reassured him.
Dr. Fang was momentarily taken aback, then sighed, "I offer this advice out of genuine concern. If you choose not to heed it, there's little more I can do."
Xia Wan wasn't ignoring his advice; she simply believed that Lin Chao had the capability to handle this matter correctly.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be audaciously discussing further cooperation with her.
Nevertheless, Xia Wan didn't feel the need to explain this to Dr. Fang. After all, he was bound by his professional responsibilities, and flouting the rules would put him at a disadvantage.
Smiling at Dr. Fang, Xia Wan said, "Thank you for your concern! I believe Shi Yu will be discharged soon.
"If someone truly seeks retribution later, they will find the person they're looking for."
After conveying this, Xia Wan nodded at Dr. Fang and turned to enter the hospital building.
Dr. Fang watched her departing figure and let out a heavy sigh. "This girl's medical skills are commendable, but she is incredibly stubborn. It will undoubtedly lead to trouble in the future."
Upon returning to the ICU, Xia Wan found that order had been restored, and the previous chaos had subsided.
With Shi Yu awake, the follow-up treatment could proceed as planned.
Director Tang emphasized the need for everything to go smoothly in the ICU, so the medical staff had increased in number.
Xia Wan glanced at the bustling medical team and then peered through the observation room window. "Is Professor Zhang not here today?"
One of the physician's assistants looked at Xia Wan and replied, "Professor Zhang has been tirelessly working for several days, even staying here overnight.
"Now that the patient has awakened and all the morning tests are normal, he has gone to the duty room to rest."
Xia Wan nodded without further inquiry.
After completing the sterile procedures, Xia Wan entered the ICU.
Shi Yu could already remove the oxygen mask, but the nasal oxygen tube indicated that his condition was still fragile.
As Xia Wan examined Shi Yu's various test reports and monitor readings, she turned to a busy nurse and inquired, "When is the CT scan scheduled for him?"
The nurse paused and appeared puzzled. "Neither Professor Zhang nor Dr. Fang has ordered a CT scan. There hasn't been any arrangement for further examination."
Xia Wan's expression turned grave. "You didn't conduct imaging earlier due to the lack of facilities, but surely you understand the importance of a thorough examination for the patient's condition?"
"What?" Xia Wan asked incredulously. "Your professor and doctor dare to rest without even completing the most basic check-up?"
Xia Wan's words left the nurses present in a state of uncertainty.
The people in the observation room outside were equally taken aback. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Just then, Dr. Fang entered the room.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Dr. Fang grew somewhat anxious and quickly inquired, "What's happening? Has something gone wrong with the patient?"
One of the physician's assistants, regaining his composure, hastily explained, "The patient is fine, Dr. Fang. It's Miss Xia. She..."
Upon hearing that it was a concern regarding Xia Wan, Dr. Fang's expression also turned grave.
