Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 1913

Luca made her judgment and was sure it was due to a hemorrhage, but the cause of it was heart problems. “It’s pericardial bleeding.”

She said it with certainty and told the nurses. She also told Johann, who was on the other end of the call.

A nurse frowned and asked, “Are you sure, Dr. Craw? When the patient was sent in here, we did a full body check-up and there was no problem with his heart.”

“Having no heart problems at that time doesn’t mean he won’t have any now. There are many causes that can lead to pericardial bleeding. There’s no time to do a B-ultrasound. Just give me the drainage device. I’m going to drain out the fluids around his heart. Otherwise, there’ll be consequences,” said Luca.

The nurses exchanged terrified looks, and neither of them dared to give her the drainage device.

If it turned out that it was not pericardial bleeding and the patient fell into a life-threatening situation due to a misdiagnosis, the nurses would be questioned along with Luca.

Luca knew why the nurses were hesitating. She said to Johann on the other end of the call, “Dr. Park, please believe me.”

Johann did not think further and immediately ordered, “Just follow Dr. Craw’s instructions. If anything happens, I’ll take full responsibility for it.”

Luca was vaguely surprised. Not only did he believe in her unconditionally, but he was also even willing to take full responsibility for it…

After all, he would face the possibility of having his medical license getting revoked if anything were to happen.

However, Luca was confident about her diagnosis and immediately opened the patient’s robe.

A nurse immediately passed her the drainage device.

After Luca wore the medical gloves, picked up the antiseptic, and applied it to the area she was about to do the procedure.

Then, she picked up the drainage device and slowly injected the needle toward the heart.

At that moment, a doctor finally came in. He took a deep, cold breath when he saw Luca’s actions. “Who is she? How could you guys let her rescue the patient?”

The nurses at the side looked at Luca, but she had no intention of stopping her actions of draining out the fluids. A nurse had no choice but to explain on Luca’s behalf, “This is Dr. Craw. Dr. Park gave her the authority to rescue this patient. Dr. Park is still on the phone.”

“I’m the one who gave her the authorization to do so,” Johann replied while driving.

It was indeed Johann’s voice. The doctor no longer pursued the matter. He just watched Luca’s actions with a frown. “What’s the diagnosis?”

“Pericardial bleeding,” a nurse replied.

“Rubbish! Can one drain out the blood at this position for pericardial bleeding? You’re harming the patient!” the doctor saw the position Luca had pierced the needle in and roared. However, Luca was already in the midst of it. The doctor did not immediately step forward to snatch the needle away.

Luca’s expression was calm and composed. As she was inserting the needle, she said, “Indeed, looking at the position that I’m injecting the needle, it’s different from what you’ve been taught by medical books. But this patient is in a critical situation. Besides, we weren’t able to contact any other doctors, so treatment was delayed for quite some time. Hence, injecting the needle here is the fastest way to drain the fluids out. It’s the fastest way to reduce the heart’s burden and to reduce the damage.”

As she was speaking, the needle was injected deeper. The fluids were being drained out. The doctor was dumbfounded when he saw the bloody fluids. He immediately ordered the nurse, “Hurry, go get the ultrasound machine here. I have to see how much his heart had been damaged.”

“Yes,” as the nurse was saying, she immediately pulled the curtains open and ran out.

Luca knew what the doctor was worried about and said faintly, “Don’t worry. I didn't poke through the vessels. You can know it just by looking at the fluids that are being drained out.”

The doctor looked a the fluids that were being drained out. Indeed, not all of it was blood as there were other fluids as well.
