Chapter 3
As soon as Joyce finished speaking, Elaina had already walked out of the office and headed for the Emergency Department.
Elaina and Joyce soon arrived at the entrance of the Emergency Department.
Many people were in the Emergency Department, and there were faint sounds of crying.
“Doctor, please save my husband. He is only forty-five years old! If he dies like this, I won’t be able to live!”
“Calm down. We’re already doing a checkup for your husband, and we won’t know until we get the results.”
Seeing that, Joyce pulled Elaina and walked towards the crowd. “Move! The doctor is here.”
Hearing this, the patient’s family all made way for Elaina, and she entered the Emergency Department.
“What’s going on?” Elaina asked directly.
“The patient was in a car accident and had a brain hemorrhage. We’re still checking the exact amount of bleeding. I don’t think the situation is optimistic.” The doctor of the Emergency Department didn’t know Elaina. Yet he didn’t ask further and briefed her quickly after seeing her badge, stating that she was the Neurosurgery Department’s deputy director.
“The head CT report is out!” a nurse shouted and handed the report over.
The doctor of the Emergency Department took the report and quickly frowned. “The patient is in a very serious situation. He has bled a lot, and his intracranial pressure is very high, leading to a cerebral hernia. We need to operate immediately.”
Elaina took the report over and looked at it. She nodded. “Go get ready now.”
“But…” The doctor of the Emergency Department looked awkward. “Our hospital isn’t up to such a type of
surgery.”
Not anyone could perform a craniotomy.
“Maybe we should send him to an advanced hospital,” he said.
“The cerebral hernia has formed. It’s suppressing the respiratory center. Without surgery, he’ll be dead in half
an hour. Are you sure you have enough time to do that?” Elaina frowned and said solemnly.
“What else can we do? No one here can perform this operation. What else can we do besides send him to an
advanced hospital?” The doctor was very helpless.
Elaina said, “I’ll do it!”
“You?” He looked at her with a face full of doubt.
The doctor thought, I’ve heard that we’ve got a new Neurosurgery Department deputy director here. No one knows about her background. I think it’s the woman standing in front of me.
Can she do it?

“Surgery? What surgery?” The patient’s wife only reacted then. She looked panicking.
Elaina looked at her and patiently explained, “Ma’am, your husband’s condition is very serious. He is
She thought, besides, although the doctor in front of me is wearing a mask, she sounds very young. I don’t trust her in doing the surgery!
