Chapter 1061: Who will she ultimately side with?
She was summarizing the case.
Tao Zhijie and He Guangyou, upon hearing her, seed to be recalling past scenes about the patient, both displaying deeply solemn expressions.
If one could barely breathe, He Guangyou turned away, walked to a corner to sit down, and stared hard at the curtain. Turning to look at Tao Zhijie, it seed as if he had sunk into soplace, with his eyebrows and eyes downturned, his gaze blurred and lost, only the pen in his hand rhythmically tapping on the notebook like a pendulum.
Xie Wanying paused after speaking for a while.
“Continue,” Tao Zhijie said.
“I personally think that, given the dical technology available at that ti, perhaps the treatnt plan was already the best effort by the hospital and the doctors. The developnt of dical technology can’t be dictated by ti. So technologies might take decades to develop without breakthroughs, and once there’s a breakthrough, it might only take a few years. So, for patients and doctors alike, it seems like fate.”
“Yingying, are you comforting ?”
Senior Tao said this with a laugh, his voice sounding like it was overflowing, about to shatter his previous image.
“No,” Xie Wanying denied.
Tao Zhijie, after hearing her statent, seed surprised; he scrutinized her face carefully to confirm she was not lying, and was even more astonished. Then, he turned his head away, the smile gone from his face, replaced by a flash of doubt in his eyes.
He Guangyou moved closer and asked her, “Do you think the patient’s treatnt plan was correct?”
“It was correct,” Xie Wanying said, “I’ve made it very clear just now.”
“If Dr. Cao heard what she said, I wonder what he would think,” He Guangyou seed to be talking to himself.
“Senior Cao can’t accept that the patient ultimately opted for a euthanasia-like resignation to death, right? I saw it written in the dical record that since the patient was in the late stage of cancer, they had the will and had signed for it, the attending physician gave up on resuscitation asures at the patient’s last monts, did not perform cardiac compression or tracheal intubation,” Xie Wanying said.
Calling her to speak frankly, she indeed did.
Tao Zhijie raised his eyebrows and gave her a aningful smile, “Yingying, by saying this, you’re siding with , you know?”
His junior had always been adamant that she would stand by his side. So ever since their eting four years ago in Songyuan, he had been waiting for this mont. He knew.
“Senior Cao is probably not angry about this,” Xie Wanying said.
Not about this?
He Guangyou’s eyes, inadvertently, wandered over to the door, which was locked, yet he felt as if soone was standing outside listening, perhaps it was just his own paranoia.
This ti, after a pause, Tao Zhijie spoke again, his voice lower, “You say.”
“Senior Cao is a pragmatic person; those who have dealt with him know that he is well aware of which diseases can be treated and which, at the current stage of dical technology, can only be treated to a certain extent and the doctors must give up, as further treatnt would only add to the patient’s suffering without any aning. Therefore, there’s no way he would oppose symbolic yet aningless resuscitation when a patient’s death is imminent, especially since the patient themselves had signed, legally there is no issue. He wouldn’t be angry about that kind of thing.”
“What kind of anger is he having then?” He Guangyou turned back to ask her.
