“How is everything going with my sister?”
“She is diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. Right now, we’ve to identify the pathogen first, so we’re able to choose the well-suited antibiotic for her. However, because of your sister’s intricate pathogenesis and degeneration of her physical function, for now, there’s only a slim chance to cure her completely,” said Joseph lightly.
“Are you not an authoritative expert? My sister has been sick for many years, how come you can’t cure her?” Herbert gazed at Joseph with a suspicious look.
Although she knew that he was a great doctor indeed, she found him an eyesore.
“Every doctor can never say that they have absolute confidence to cure every patient successfully, what I can only say is, I will always try my best.”
“What? Are you not the top doctor? If you aren’t absolutely sure to cure my sister, why do you take charge of her treatment?” Herbert snapped.
Hearing these words, Joseph’s face became frosty, he looked up to Herbert. “Since Ms. Herbert needs a doctor who can ensure a hundred percent success rate, I will suggest the President appoint another doctor for your sister.”
After the words, he put the medical report down, leaving the room arrogantly.
He would never allow himself to be questioned by anyone else.
Herbert was really irritated, where did he get this attitude?
She just asked a few more questions, why did he make a fuss about it?
“It’s fine with me.” After the words, Herbert came to the President of this hospital personally.
Years ago, the Herbert family was aristocrats at City N, of course the President would honor her, however… Just now Herbert had approached him, telling him that he won’t take the treatment in charge.
While other doctors had certainly spoken that the outlook for Esmae was grim, they couldn’t guarantee a cure as well.
“What? You don’t have another doctor who can be appointed? Is this not the best hospital in City N? Are you telling me that there’s nobody who can cure my sister except Dr. Joseph?”
The President furrowed his eyebrows, said helplessly, “For now, I will answer yes.”
Even Joseph didn’t take this over, who else dared to do that?
