Chapter 537: I Can Cure This Illness (Fifth Update, Subscription Requested)
The attending doctor and a physician walked out.
Father Li and Li Sitong hurried over.
The doctor said, "We saved her, but the situation isn't good. She's in the ICU for observation now. Let's see if she can make it through this, but you need to be mentally prepared. Whether she survives or not is up to luck."
The doctor briefly explained Mrs. Li's condition.
The surgery was very successful, but Mrs. Li's illness is severe, so it's all up to fate.
"Doctor, how much hope does my mother have?" Li Sitong couldn't help asking.
The doctor pondered for a moment, "Your mother's condition is very serious. The follow-up treatment will cost at least four hundred thousand. Your family needs to prepare the money, and there's also a waiting list for organ donations. These things depend on your mother's luck."
At this point, the doctor's words were very clear. Even with money, the chances of healing Mrs. Li were slim.
If this drags on, Mrs. Li definitely won't last long.
"Doctor, no matter what, you have to save my mother. Money is not an issue," Li Sitong said, looking grim.
Upon hearing Li Sitong's words, Father Li was stunned.
Seeing his daughter's determination, Father Li was also touched.
However, because of his wife, the family's money was almost gone. Where would they get four hundred thousand?
Ye Chen said, "Let me check on Auntie's condition."
Now that Ye Chen had divine-level medical skills, the fact that the hospital couldn't treat her didn't mean he couldn't.
Moreover, from the doctor's words, Ye Chen had already sensed that Mrs. Li's condition was dire. If it dragged on, even he might not be able to bring her back.
Therefore, the most important thing for Ye Chen now was to see Mrs. Li.
"But my mom has already been taken into the ICU, and we can't see her," Li Sitong said, troubled.
As she spoke, Li Sitong began to cry.
Ye Chen said, "Maybe the situation isn't as bad as the doctor said. Don't worry, I know some medicine, maybe there's a way?"
Seeing Li Sitong so heartbroken, Ye Chen felt some sympathy and comforted her.
To the side, seeing Ye Chen holding Li Sitong, Father Li said nothing.
Before, if a man had held his daughter, he would have been unhappy.
But he knew that now Sitong needed comfort the most.
Being experienced, Father Li could see that Ye Chen and Li Sitong's relationship was not ordinary.
Moreover, seeing Ye Chen's decent attire and him lending money to his daughter without hesitation, Father Li felt at ease.
Most importantly, Ye Chen looked upright and handsome, unlike those frivolous playboys. The old man liked him.
Now, the family was in dire straits, and there wasn't much he could do. If his daughter had good support, that would make him happiest.
Father Li was suddenly stunned when he heard Ye Chen say he knew medicine and could treat Mrs. Li.
Li Sitong was also somewhat surprised, "Brother Ye, can you really cure my mom's illness?"
Hearing that Ye Chen could treat illnesses, Li Sitong's eyes lit up.
Ye Chen said, "It shouldn't be a big problem, let me first check Auntie's condition."
Ye Chen could feel Li Sitong holding his hand tightly.
Now, in her heart, Ye Chen was her only reliance.
Listening to Ye Chen speak so confidently, Li Sitong also gained some faith and was not as pessimistic as before.
"Come on, let's find the attending doctor and have your mom transferred out of the ICU," Ye Chen said.
Seeing the Li family trust him, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them went to the doctor's office. Seeing them, the doctor asked, "Do you have any more questions?"
Li Sitong said, "Doctor, I want to transfer my mom from the ICU to a regular ward."
Hearing Li Sitong's words, the doctor immediately frowned.
"Nonsense, how can you do that? Even if you don't have money, you can't give up now. The patient still has a hope of surviving."
The attending doctor directly refused.
The doctor continued, "I just said that the patient's condition is very unstable. We must monitor it in time. If something goes wrong during this period, who can bear that responsibility?"
Sighing, the doctor continued, "I know what you're thinking, you don't want to spend money, but I sincerely hope you try again. Of course, the decision is yours. If you give up, I can't do anything, but before that, you must sign a liability waiver."
Such cases, the doctor had seen many in the hospital. If the patient gives up, there was nothing he could do either.
Ye Chen said from the side, "We're not giving up treatment because of money, it's because you hospital can't treat her, so I have to step in."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the doctor was stunned and looked at Ye Chen.
"What did you say? You're going to treat her?"
The doctor looked at Ye Chen as if seeing a joke.
He instinctively glanced at Li Sitong and her father.
"This is absurd. The patient's condition is very serious, and a single mistake could cost her life. You found some quack from outside to treat her, this is so irresponsible."
At this moment, the doctor's tone was very cold.
After all, this was his patient, and this patient still had a chance for treatment.
But now, the patient's family was acting absurdly, which made the doctor very angry.
After all, the patient hadn't even cleared the danger zone, transferring her from the ICU to a regular ward was already very dangerous, and finding a roadside quack for treatment was nothing short of a reckless act.
"Brother Chen, you..."
Hearing the doctor's words, Li Sitong and her father also felt a bit embarrassed.
But Ye Chen smiled and said, "No problem, I'll communicate with the doctor."
"By the way, you should know Director Zhou of Ren'ai Hospital, right?"
Hearing Director Zhou's name, the doctor was startled and said, "Of course I know, he's my mentor."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "You can give Director Zhou a call. My name is Ye Chen, and check if I have the qualifications to treat the patient."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the doctor was also a bit stunned.
He thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed Director Zhou's number.
"Mentor, this is Xiao Zhang. Do you know someone named Ye Chen? He's at our hospital now and wants to transfer the patient out of the ICU for his own treatment; isn't this absurd?"
"Xiao Zhang, Divine Doctor Ye's medical skills surpass mine. A disease you can't treat, perhaps he really can. It's also a good learning opportunity for you, so cherish it."
Hearing his mentor's words, the doctor was momentarily dumbfounded.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Can I now treat the patient?"
The doctor was a little dazed, "Of course you can."
Since his mentor is the authority in Modu and is so respectful to Ye Chen, how could he not respect Ye Chen?
"I'll transfer the patient to a regular ward right away," the doctor said, taking a deep breath.
