The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel Chapter 994

When the two arrived at the hospital, the patient's family was in an uproar.

“What kind of 'Grace Hospital' is this? It seems more like a 'Wicked Hospital' to me! My son came here for treatment, but his condition only got worse. Now he's in such a critical condition! If anything happens to him, I won't let this hospital off the hook!”

“Absolutely! And your director, we initially trusted her; that's why we let her treat the patient in person., but she ended up prescribing the wrong medication. What a cr*ppy doctor and a rubbish director she is. She's treating human life as if it were worthless! Where is she? Call her out for me. We demand an explanation for this matter!”

Just around the corner, Neera saw the scene, and her expression darkened.

Isabella was also wearing a grimace. She furrowed her brows and strode over.

Neera gave her a gentle tug. “Wait a moment. Let the family members' emotions settle down a bit before you go over.”

She had seen quite a few medical disputes before, and she was worried that if Isabella went there now, she might be at a disadvantage.

Isabella shook her head. “It's okay. I have to face them sooner or later. Besides, as the director, I can't hide when something happens.”

After she finished speaking, she quickly stepped forward and asked the flustered nurse, “How is the patient now?”

Before the nurse could respond, the patient's father stormed over in anger, forcefully pushing Isabella.

“It's you! You're the reason my son is critically ill, yet you have the audacity to ask how he is now! You heartless doctor! Why hasn't a bolt of lightning struck you dead!”

Luckily, Neera was there to catch her in time. Otherwise, Isabella would have definitely fallen.

At that moment, Neera raised her voice with a serious expression. “Whatever the issue is, let's calm down first before discussing it. How is all this commotion beneficial for the patient inside?”

At that moment, Alvin appeared out of nowhere, righteously accusing Isabella, “You've been far too careless! If I hadn't noticed the wrong medicine you prescribed in time, the patient could have been beyond saving!”

Isabella didn't know why he was there. Her face gradually hardened, and she immediately retorted, “That's impossible! How could I have possibly prescribed the wrong medication? Moreover, the patient was extremely stable after the surgery. There shouldn't have been a sudden relapse—”

“You're still making excuses even at this point. I've checked your computer and all the medical records. The prescriptions you've written are all in there. The pharmacy has also conducted an investigation, and it's clear that the problem lies with you. The evidence is irrefutable. Do you really think I would falsely accuse you?”

Isabella naturally couldn't admit it. “There must have been a mistake somewhere. I can stake my life on it. The medicine I prescribed is absolutely faultless. That prescription definitely didn't come from me!”

Alvin sighed. “Isabella, stop being stubborn. You made a mistake with this prescription. The medicine the patient needed was different by just one character, but the properties of the medicines were completely different. It even contradicts the patient's condition. It might have been an unintentional mistake, or perhaps you just forgot.”

After he finished speaking, he changed the subject in a good-natured way. “However, now is not the time to debate this. The priority is to treat the sick and save his life.”

Isabella was filled with doubts, yet she had no choice but to temporarily suppress the unease in her heart.

“I'll get ready to enter the operating room right now.”

However, the patient's family was displeased, blocking her way and glowering at her.

“Who asked for you to go in, you unscrupulous doctor?”

“My son doesn't need your help. Who knows if you'll end up harming him!”

Throughout her many years in medicine, Isabella had faced doubts from others about her medical skills, but never had she felt as embarrassed as she did now.

At that moment, Alvin stepped forward to speak again. “Uncle Harris is an expert in this field. I've already asked him to come. He's getting ready. You just wait here and try not to upset the patient's family.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and began to soothe the family members in a gentle and pleasant manner.

Thanks to his good temper, the family's emotions didn't escalate further.

Neera frowned as she watched the scene unfold, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

Seeing Isabella standing stiffly in place, she comforted her in a gentle voice, “Take a moment to calm down. Don't panic. Since there are people inside working on the rescue, let's go check the medical records first to see what's really going on.”

That was the only thing they could do at that moment.

Isabella nodded, and they entered the office together.

She immediately checked the prescription and found that it was indeed incorrect, her expression growing increasingly serious.

She stared at the computer screen, murmuring in disbelief, “How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this...”

Neera was well aware of Isabella's personality and knew she wasn't that careless.

Back in her school days, whenever she conducted experiments or research, she would always double or even triple check the data before submitting them, ensuring they were accurate.

Not to mention, after becoming a doctor, the medicines she prescribed would directly affect the patients' lives.

“Don't panic. Take your time to think. You're certain that this prescription wasn't issued by you, right?”

“Of course!” Isabella was somewhat agitated. “I'm certain I didn't prescribe the wrong medication. The patient's condition has already stabilized, and it's not some complex disease. I've written prescriptions like this countless times. How could I have made a mistake? Moreover, these two medicines are worlds apart in their properties. How could I not know? Even if I made a mistake the first time, I should have noticed it during the review. There must be something wrong!”

Naturally, Neera believed her. Since she didn't prescribe the wrong medication, the only possibility is that the prescription was switched by someone!

Having seen her share of cunning tricks, she quickly formed a guess.

“How's the Lopez family lately? That Alvin, is he still coveting your position as the director?”

Isabella understood what she meant, her expression stiffening.

She didn't want to talk about the troubles at home, but under the intense gaze of Neera, she gritted her teeth and admitted, “Recently, my grandfather fell seriously ill. When I was the director, his presence kept others from voicing their opinions. But now, with my grandfather unable to intervene, my eldest uncle and a few other uncles are banding together again...”
