Ivic sped along the road, the driver intently watching the road ahead. Whenever road conditions allowed, he would step on the gas without hesitation and push the car to its maximum speed.
Finally, the speeding car arrived at the Provincial Hospital in Jiaonan City.
Prior to this, relevant personnel from Shangxian Hospital had contacted the doctors and experts here and informed them of Hu Zi's condition in detail.
So as soon as the car came to a stop, the medical staff rushed over and, amidst anxious urging, carefully lifted Hu Zi, who was still unconscious, and quickly walked into the hospital building.
Almost at the same moment, Xiao Jian's van also came to a steady stop in front of the hospital building.
The car door opened quickly, and Liu Ye, Xiao Jian, and Xiao Mengjie filed out.
Without lingering, they followed closely behind Tiger's stretcher and rushed into the hospital building.
Upon entering the ward, dozens of doctors and experts who had been waiting for a long time immediately surrounded him.
They moved with practiced speed and skill, conducting a series of simple but crucial checks on Tiger.
Then, just a few minutes later, Tiger was wheeled out of the ward again, this time heading straight to the CT room.
The CT scanner newly introduced by the Provincial Hospital is one of the most advanced imaging devices in China.
Before long, several doctors sat around the computer screen, carefully observing the newly generated image data.
Faced with such tight time pressure, they simply didn't have time to wait for the complete film to be printed out.
Therefore, based on their rich experience and professional knowledge, these doctors made a diagnostic decision on the spot.
"Who is the patient's family member? Come here quickly!" one of the senior doctors shouted.
The sound echoed in the quiet corridor, carrying an urgent tone that was impossible to ignore.
The old man looked to be in his sixties, and his snow-white hair stood out under the light.
He wore thick glasses on his nose, and through the lenses, one could see his deep, experienced eyes.
"I...I..."
Before the words were finished, a series of noisy footsteps came from afar.
Immediately afterwards, three figures rushed into the room like arrows released from a bow. These three people were Liu Ye, Xiao Jian, and Xiao Mengjie.
Liu Ye had a small, exquisite handbag slung over her shoulder. Her face was full of anxiety, and her eyes were fixed on the old expert in front of her. She spoke urgently.
"Doctor, we are all the patient's family members! Please tell us directly whatever the situation is!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously clenched her hands tightly, as if doing so could alleviate her unease and worry.
Standing behind Liu Ye, Xiao Jian and Xiao Mengjie also looked solemn. They watched everything in front of them silently, not daring to utter a sound.
At this moment, the old expert turned his head with a serious expression, his gaze fixed on the computer screen next to him.
He extended his finger and slowly pointed to a certain area on the screen, speaking in an unusually heavy tone.
"While the patient's other injuries were serious, they were not life-threatening. However, the troublesome aspect was that two bullets had penetrated directly into the brain from inside the eye socket, damaging the brain nerves."
The patient's condition is extremely critical, and they could lose their life at any moment. Furthermore, due to the extremely dangerous location of the projectile, the surgery is incredibly difficult. Whether or not to operate is a decision that you, the family, must make.
The old expert's words struck like a bolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
My heart, which was already hanging in suspense, was instantly slammed down again, sinking into an abyss.
For a moment, the entire room fell into a deathly silence, with only the increasingly rapid breathing of everyone clearly audible.
Although they had mentally prepared themselves for the severity of Tiger's injuries before they arrived, what they saw before them still far exceeded their expectations.
Through the glass, you could see that Hu Zi, who had been lifted onto the wheelchair, was as pale as paper.
His body was wrapped in thick bandages, and blood seeped through them, a shocking sight.
That body, which should have been full of life, now seemed so fragile, as if it would collapse at the slightest breeze.
Xiao Jian rushed over anxiously, his lips trembling, and managed to squeeze out a single sentence.
"This...this...Doctor, are you confident about the surgery?"
His voice trembled violently, as if his heart was being gripped tightly by fear and unease.
Xiao Jian stared intently at the old doctor, his eyes filled with pleading and hope.
It was as if this doctor was his last lifeline, and he was terrified of hearing the answer that would leave him in despair.
However, the old doctor slowly shook his head and then sighed softly.
He spoke in a low and solemn tone.
"Given the current level of medical technology and treatment in China, I have at most a 30% chance of success in this surgery."
Moreover, the surgery itself and subsequent rehabilitation treatment require huge sums of money, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for ordinary families.
More importantly, even if the surgery is successfully completed, we cannot guarantee that the patient will wake up.
It is very likely that he will spend the rest of his life lying in a hospital bed, becoming a perpetually vegetative state patient.
Therefore, the final decision on whether or not to proceed with this surgery rests with you, the family.
After saying these words, the old doctor silently turned away, perhaps unable to bear seeing the utterly disappointed and heartbroken expressions on everyone's faces.
