Chapter 5
As long as the family signed off on the surgery consent form, the doctors could go all out to save the patient. Even if they couldn’t pull the patient through, they wouldn’t be held responsible because they had given their best shot.
However, judging from Phillip’s current condition, there was no way he could wait for his family to arrive. If no action was taken, he could stop breathing in ten minutes.
“Dr. Greg, should we wait for his family to show up?” Susana, a young associate chief physician, tentatively proposed. “If we proceed with the surgery without authorization…”
If anything went wrong. Mr. McMillian would surely give them hell!
In this situation, it was not just about their wish to save him. Phillip’s life could just end here today.
“I suggest that we give him a shot to calm his nerves and another to soothe his heart. We can make the decision when his family arrives!” Susana proposed again.
The other doctors didn’t have any better ideas, they all silently watched Dr. Greg, waiting for his decision.
Seeing that Dr. Greg didn’t respond, Susana instructed the nurse standing by, “Go and get the meds.”
The nurse was about to fetch the medicines.
At that moment, Arabella, standing at the door, spoke up again, “If you inject him with these now, he’ll surely die.”
As soon as the meds were administered, even the best doctors wouldn’t be able to save him. Because Phillip’s current physical condition was so frail, it couldn’t handle the effects of the drugs. Once these two injections were administered, shortly after a brief period of lucidity, he would stop breathing within half an hour.
