Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s

The internists have a very thorough way of thinking.

With the plan in place, the group of doctors prepared to go outside to explain it to the family members.

Director Yang opened the office door and was surprised to see a stranger, an elderly lady, standing outside.

The old woman had graying hair and looked to be in her sixties or seventies.

"Who are you?" Suspecting that this person was a family member of a patient, Director Yang asked her, while asking the other doctors if she was a family member of Chen Chengran's patient.

The doctors all shook their heads. Chen Chengran came with both parents, not a grandmother.

The elderly woman's eyes weren't on Director Yang; she was staring intently at Xie Wanying, asking, "Is this Dr. Xie?"

Is this family member looking for Student Xie?

Feng Yicong thought, just as Senior Brother Yu said this morning, Student Xie is now busier than anyone.

"What do you want with Dr. Xie?" Director Yang carefully asked this patient's family member.

"I am a family member of Dr. Shao's patient," the old woman introduced herself.

"Which department is Dr. Shao from?" Director Yang tried to recall which doctor with the surname Shao worked at their unit.

"He is a cardiothoracic surgeon at Xuanwu Hospital. My son underwent surgery for esophagogastric junction cancer with him, and he developed a fistula afterward. Today someone recommended Dr. Xie from Guoxie, saying she could save my son's life." The old woman explained why she hurried from Xuanwu to Guoxie.

It hadn't been long since the phone call with Teacher Wei from Xuanwu. This old woman, likely listening in on the conversation between the doctors, hurried over to Guoxie as soon as she could.

Family members are willing to go to any lengths to treat their loved ones. Look at this elderly mother, disregarding her own health, willing to do anything to save her son's life. Similarly, see how Chen Chengran's parents have accompanied their son through his medical journey; it shows how much parents everywhere love their children.

"I want to ask Dr. Xie to save my son," the old lady pleaded in front of all the doctors present.

Hearing this, the teachers felt a bit troubled. Director Yang explained to the family member: "Dr. Xie is just a student and doesn't have a practicing license, so she can't go to Xuanwu to save someone."

"I know she can. I just heard you talking." This old woman was not an uneducated family member; she seemed quite learned, understanding the logic discussed by the doctors in the office and pointing out that she had overheard them.

"Even so, it's still not possible—"

"I'm begging you, I'll kneel if that helps!" The old woman became agitated upon repeated refusals, dropping both knees to kneel, tears streaming down her heavily wrinkled face, "My son has been suffering from complications for over three months, growing thinner each day, with persistent fevers. Our whole family watches him suffer nightly, unable to sleep. He's been a good son, sacrificing too much for this family. I couldn't wait for him to settle down and start his own family; I don't dare to hope for how long he can survive, but I pray he can live to see his children grow up. My grandchildren are now in the fifth or sixth grade of elementary school; what will happen if they lose their father? Their family will fall apart. I can't let my grandchildren be raised by a stepfather so young. Doctor, you have children too; you must understand my feelings—"

"Please get up, don't kneel, don't kneel!" Director Yang and several other doctors hurriedly helped the old lady up. Doctors dread encountering family members like this the most.
