Luke's brows furrowed even tighter. He knew that the maid was not trying to shirk responsibility. It was highly likely that the old man himself had asked her to do this.
Old Man Rayne had always been the kind of person who avoided troubling others. If it were not for his old age and inability to take care of himself, he would never have agreed to have a caretaker look after him.
The curtain to the emergency room was pulled open.
"Are the family members here?" asked the doctor.
Yes," replied Luke, no longer scolding the maid. Old Man Rayne’s condition mattered the most now.
The doctor glanced at Luke and then checked the patient’s examination results. Then, he explained, "We've already sent the patient for examination. The initial diagnosis states that it could be cerebral vasospasm. We've given the patient medication, but we’ll need a neurosurgeon’s consultation for a specific diagnosis and further treatment."
"Does he need surgery?" Luca asked immediately.
The doctor clarified, "That depends on the diagnosis of the attending physician. I’ll get the patient admitted to the hospital now. You may go to the counter to complete the admission procedures."
"Ask Dr. Park to take a look at Old Man Rayne," said Luca as she turned to Luke. Johann was an expert in cerebrovascular diseases.
Luca could not trust anyone else to treat Old Man Rayne. She only believed in Johann's abilities.
The emergency doctor was slightly surprised and asked, "You know Dr. Park?"
According to hospital regulations, the attending physician for an admitted patient was generally assigned based on duty schedules unless the patient or family members had specific requests.
Doctors like Johann were almost universally known to every patient or their family members who came to the general hospital.
However, Johann would not accept every patient since he was too busy, unless it was an especially challenging case or if he had a close relationship with the patient...
The emergency doctor did not know which category these family members belonged to.
Luke initially planned for this. He had yet to notify Johann in advance. He wanted to wait until they had the test results.
However, they needed to inform Johann to take over the patient's care now. Luke asked the doctor on duty, "Is there an available ward on the VIP floor?"
"I'll have the nurse check for you." The emergency doctor returned to the emergency room. Hospital room arrangements were not within his scope of work.
Luke dialed Johann's number while waiting for them to check for the ward's availability.
Johann had just laid down on his bed at that time. When his phone rang, he did not hesitate to answer, "It's late. What's the matter?"
"Come to the hospital. Bianca's grandfather is sick. The initial diagnosis states that it’s a cerebral vasospasm." Luke's serious voice came from the other end of the line.
Johann immediately sat up. Cerebral vasospasm was no trivial matter. "Ask the emergency doctor to send me the test results. I'm on my way to the hospital now."
"Okay," replied Luke. As he watched the emergency doctor who came walking out again, he asked, "Is there a ward available?"
"Yes. Are you sure you want to have the patient admitted to the VIP floor?" The nurse confirmed with the VIP floor's nurse that there was an empty ward, so the doctor came out to confirm with them.
Every department in their hospital had VIP wards, but there was an even better level of VIP wards on the top floor equipped with all the necessary emergency equipment and a patient transport elevator, making them more expensive than regular VIP wards.
"Yes. Please send the patient's test results to Dr. Park," said Luke.
The emergency doctor nodded. "I'll give Dr. Park the patient's identification number. He’ll be able to access it through the hospital’s system."
As the doctor said that, the nurses pushed Old Man Rayne out of the emergency room. "Now, let's take the patient upstairs while the family goes to the admission counter."
After that, the nurses pushed the bed away.
