Chapter 997
A bunch of doctors and nurses were gathered around the sink in the hallway, stripping off their gloves
and scrubbing their hands clean with soap, casually chatting away “Mr Webb really drew the short
straw christ helping Dr Yeager with one surgery and ham Who’s going to take the hit?
“Well, who else but Mr Webb? After all, he was the one who performed the surgery
“Well, even if that’s the case. Dr. Yeager should take some of the heat, right?”
The head nurse glanced at the doctor who spoke, “Who’s to blame isn’t the pressing issue here.
What’s important is that the deceased’s family are convinced it was all Mr. Webb’s doing”
The doctor paused in his hand washing looking up at the head nurse, “What do you mean?”
The head nurse looked around before leaning in to whisper, “Did you know the deceased was a world
renowned medical expert? He had consulted Mr. Webb before and they had a few run–ins over their
medical philosophies. The expert stormed off after a heated argument and openly labelled Mr. Webb as
a quack”
The doctor nodded in understanding. So, there was bad blood between the deceased and Mr. Webb.
No wonder the family’s pointing fingers at him”
Another doctor nearby chimed in, ‘Mr Webb isn’t the type to hold a grudge. He wouldn’t intentionally
harm a patient over such a petty disagreement. He might have even forgotten about the whole thing.
Otherwise, he would have refused to assist Dr. Yeager with the surgery.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor at the head of the sink turned to them, “Talking about it now is pointless The family is
clinging onto their conspiracy theory. Even with a mouthful of excuses, Mr Webb wouldn’t be able to
clear his name
The head nurse asked, “What does the hospital administration say?”
“They’re still in a meeting. Not sure what they’re going to decide”
The doctor who mentioned the bad blood between Mr. Webb and the deceased spoke up again, “My
guess is they’re going to throw Mr. Webb under the bus. The patient was clearly out to get Mr Webb.
The hospital administration wouldn’t want to drag another excellent doctor into this. The damage is
already done, and for the hospital’s reputation, sacrificing one doctor seems like their safest bet…”
The chatter of these doctors and nurses reached the ears of Mr Webb
He was leaning against the sink on the other side, concealed from view by the large basin. No one
noticed him there.
Yeager opened the door to the surgery corridor and found Mr. Webb huddled up in the corner, looking
lost.
“Mr. Webb”
Yeager’s voice surprised the doctors and nurses, who seemed not to have expected him to be present.
They quickly washed their hands and left the room.
Yeager glanced at them and then shifted his gaze to Mr. Webb
“Mr. Webb, I truly had no idea that the surgery would go wrong. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked for
your help, and now you’re being affected by this. I am sincerely sorry”
Will remained silent, his eyes fixed on the distance, lost in deep thought as he tried to figure out where
the problem lay
Observing this, Yeager bent down and sat on the floor beside Will
“Mr. Webb, the patient was of advanced age, and this type of surgery already carries inherent risks.
You shouldn’t blame yourself excessively”
Finally, Will looked up, turning his face to Yeager sitting next to him.
“Dr Yeager, apart from cardiovascular issues, does the patient have any other underlying conditions
that were not detected during routine examinations?”
Yeager lowered his head, pondering for a moment, and then shook his head gently.
“What about the autopsy results? Did the medical examiner have any opinions?”
“The forensic examination also showed no problems…”
Will stared at his blood stained hands in disbelief.
“Did I really mess up…
Seeing Will doubt himself, Yeager hastily patted his shoulder
“Mr Webb, it’s not about your judgement its because the patient was too old to withstand the surgery”
Will shook his head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The surgery failed, and I cannot blame the patient. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have ignored your
advice and performed the procedure on a major blood vessel…”
He had only wanted to help the patient by eliminating their suffering from the illness after the surgery,
but he never expected such an accident to occur
Seeing him burdened with seFlame, Yeager felt a sense of quilt and patted his shoulder again.
“Mr Webb, this patient was originally under my care, and you were just assisting in the surgery. All the
responsibility lies with me, and it has nothing to do with you.”
After saying that, yeager took a deep breath and made a solemn promise.
“Please rest assured that I will explain everything to the hospital management and the patient’s family”
As he was about to leave, Will stopped tum
“The family already believes it was intentional retaliation on my part. If you take responsibility now, it
will only implicate you and won’t make any difference. Besides, I don’t care about the blame, what I
care about is that because of my mistake, someone’s life ended.”
Yeager wanted to say something, but Will raised his hand to stop him
“Dr. Yeager, you’re excellent, and you will undoubtedly make great achievements in the medical field.
Don’t let this incident tarnish your reputation, let me face it alone”
Will’s ethics and character made Yeager feel ashamed, and he looked up.
“Mr. Webb, the Nobel Prize in Medicine is crucial to you I’m sorry
